High Feeding Most Profitable.

1t is an error to assume that high
feeding is too expensive for general
practice, as | will endeaver to show by
a few examples. In the case Of pair
Of grade short horn twins, owned by
an Illinois farmer, their food for the
first six months consisted of sour skim
milk, oil meal and grass, which gave
as good a growth as whole milk. At
six months old the pair weighed 1910
pounds. For the next six months
they were fed out of doors, on grass,
corn and hay, and weighed at one year
old, 1860 pounds. At two years they
weighed 1905, and at three years $500
pounds. Any dairy farmer can feed
calves as these were fed, and should
see that it is for his interest to give
them all they can eat and digest
A Concord, N. H., farmer bought
calf that weighed 100 pounds, at the
age of four weeks. He fed it exclu-
sively upon skim milk until it was nine
months old, allowing it of course to
Craze what it would during the next
three months it got shorts in addition
to the skim milk. AT the end of that
time, being one year old, its girth was
six feet five inches, and its weight
1900 pounds live, dressing 902 pounds,
as much as some four year Odds.
These instances show that large
calves can be raised without feeding
them IN new milk; skim milk, supple.

Cotton Seed OH VS.. Lard.

A revolution will soon be effected in
the consumption of lard by pure re-
fined cotton seed oil taking its place.
This article is now selling in large lots
for export at about 46 cents per gallon.
and is being rapidly taken up for con-
sumption in the Southern States and in
Europe, and we are informed by good
authority that over 5000 tierces have
been taken from Tennessee and Ar
kansas refneries by the trade in provis-
ions, to be used as substitute for lard
in the interior and in the vicinity of
the refineries.
There are two kinds of cotton seed
oil-crude and refined. The oil is used
in the manufacture of soap, by painters
and for lubricating purposes. Its great
use, however, heretofore as a substitute
or adulterant for olive oil, whose place
it is rapidly supplying, and recently as
described above, it is being used in
place of lard. 1t is nearly impossible
to detect good cotton seed oil from the
best brands of olive by taste, smell or
any other process. This the olive
growers of Italy have been unwillingly
compelled to acknowledge.
The usual adulteration of the olive
oil is by mixing 25 per cent. of it with
70 per cent. of cotton seed oil, fine
table oil being the result. Often the
cotton seed oil receives only a small
amount of some other oil to give it "a
flavor" Of6,OO0, 900 gallons, shipped
during 1890, SO per cent was ex-
ported on orders from Europe to the
Mediterranean and French ports, and
one half of this TO Italy itself As the
United States imports one-tenth this
amount of olive(?) oil, tits evident that
not only the people of this country, but
the experienced epicures of Europe as
well, make their salads with the pro.
ducts of the cotton seed. Some oil,
also, goes West, where it figures as
olive oil, without the intervention of a
voyage across the Atlantic, but at least
two-thirds of the entire product of the
country $4,000, 900 gallons) is export.
ed to Europe. 1t is thought that in
time the prejudice now existing against
cotton seed oil will be overcome, and
our people like those of Europe, take
10 cooking their food in oil, us the He.
brews do, instead of using lard.--N

Says an exchange: There are some
business men who never advertise, and
they are always complaining about
their trade, They treat advertising as
the improvident shiftless fellows do
roofs. When the sun shines they don't
need patching, and when 1t rains they
cannot patch them. When trade is
fair they see no need of advertising,
and when trade is dull they say they
cannot afford to advertise. Moral :
repair leaky roof when it is fair
weather, and advertise in all seasons.
Advertising pays all parties interested
better than any other commercial in
vestment.

Murfreesboro News A number of
English sparrows have appeared in
Murtreesboro, much to the regret of all
who know anything of the nature Of
these aggressive and troublesome birds.
How they came here no one knows,
but the fact that they are here is suf
cient to attract the serious attention of
our authorities. English sparrows were
imported to this country some years
ago by some misguided genius, and
everywhere they have appeared they
have been pronounced an unqualified
nuisance. They increase in numbers
very rapidly, and when they once take
up their abode at a place they make all
their arrangements to take exclusive
possession. Being bold and beligerant
they drive away the other birds, not
sparing the sweetest songsters of our
woods. In many cities ordinances have
been passed to destroy these birds.

Horses should be provided with
warm stabling. No other farm animal
is so sensitive to cold. The coat of the
hog is no warmer than the horses, but
it has greater comparative amount of
fat, and its organs are more closely ag-
gregated; while the kline are provided
with much thicker hide and heavier
coat than the horses. Much of the
blindness of horses is due to exposure
to excessive cold.

We desire to call the attention of
farmers to the Importance of saving
their grass seed at home. Notwith-
standing Tennessee can produce as fine
clover and other grass seed as any other
State in the Union, still our farmers
neglect to save their seeds and spend
annually large amount of money in
other States for their seeds. How
much longer will we neglect this I'M
pOrtant matter 1t il said that Ten
nessee spends annually over $4,000
for clover seed alone, while we ought
to have a surplus of three times this
amount to sell for export if we would
make the effort to save our home seeds.
We have seen as fine red top and clover
seeds grown in Warren county as we
ever saw grown anywhere. Mr.. John
o. Pope of this county has a correct
idea of how to save red top seed. He
selects the best part of his meadow,
such as is clean and free from weeds of
every kind, and when the seeds have
properly matured he cuts with cradles
and binds in bundles, and when dry he
thrashes and cleans it well. In this
way he always has superior quality
Of seeds, which commands from % to
20 cents per bushel moro than those
saved in the ordinary way.
We often hear a farmer say II ought
to SOW clover this spring, but have not
the money to buy the seed" Nine
cut of every ten of these same farmers
could as well as not have had seed. If
they had the year before selected an
acre, or half an acre, of suitable ground
and sown it specially for seed, they
could have had seed without buying.
Farmers ought and must SOW more
grass seed, and with few exceptions,
will not do this until they shall have
determined to save their own seeds,
and if he has not the facilities to
clean them, let him SOW in chaff. Every
farmer who adopts this rule and sticks
closely to it will not have cause to say,
81 ought to SOW clover, but have not
the money to buy the seed, but with
ordinary industry and economy will
soon be on the road to prosperity.
See Col. Killebrew's article on saw
ing clover seed in this issue. We give
il to our readers with the hope that
many farmers may be induced to profit
thereby and 90 to work in earnest to
help check the great expenditures an

A writer in a French journal relates
this suggestive experiment: after
sunset place in the centre of my or
chard an old barrel, the inside of which
l have previously tarred. AT the bot
tom of the barrel place a lighted
lamp. Insects of MANY kinds, attracted
by the light, make for the lamp, and
while cireling around it strike against
the sides of the barrel, where, meeting
with the tar, their wings and legs be-
come so clogged that they fall helpless
to the bottom. In the morning | ex-
anime the barrel and frequently take
out of the barrel ten or twelve quarts
ofeOckshafers, which at once destroy"
At little expense this is means of
destroying an innumerable number of
these insects. whose larya are among
the most destructive pests the gardner
or farmer has to contend against.
