A Four Thousand Acre Farm.

Demoresfs Monthly: The Belle
Meade farm six miles from Nashville,
owned by W. G. Harding, is, it is
IN IN the United States. There is moth.
ing fancy about it. The system Of
Gen. Harding is that of all other COM
nonsense farmers, but there is not an
acre of the 4, 1000 that is not thoroughly
utilized. 1t has sixteen miles of stone
fencing, and there is a deer park of 425
acres. Of course, it is a stock farm.
The owner does not believe in selling
his grain. What he raises he feeds out
to his well-cared- and high priced
cattle. HIS hnses brn, the highest
prices, and his bulls aud COWS are in
demand for improving neighboring
breeds. Mere grain-raising is, in the
long run, wasteful. 1t robs the soil of
its fertility. and the best results are OBJ
tanned when the farm becomes spe'
cies of nanufactory fer producing ami
mails and dairy products.

those are the very lands of least value,
in the present system of Southern
agriculture. There can scarcely be
two opinions as to the climatic advan-
tages afforded in the South for dairy
farming; no question whatever of the
fitness of the soil, purity of the water,
succulence of grass and other forage
plants, intelligence and ability of her
people; so what is to hinder her from
diverting this enormous income to her
Golfers?
The Chinese wall which surrounds
the South, has lately been struck some
Titanic blows and has been shattered
in many places, and shows signs of
crumblng away, till nothing is left buta
dissolving heap or two to mark the
place in our memories which served as
a dividing line between our hate and
our real interests, which we could not
see were beyond that wall. The South
may be compared to a giant who has
slept long and soundly, the effect of a
bitter draught of woe and misery, now
waking. Waking slowly to be sure,
but nevertheless waking. and in pos
session of some of his faculties when
his mind is fully astir, let us hope that
he will realize that this dairy industry
is one of his natural weapons, that with
it he can regain much of the prosperity
of which he was despoiled during his
long sleep. .-Southern Trade Gazette.

Curiosity Observation.

There are no more useful and inter-
esting faculties or traits for the farmer
particularly the younger ones-to exer-
else, than those of carefully noticing
everything in nature, all events connec'
ted with the habits and growth and
health of his animals, his grains and
his fruits.
Many of the most useful and inter
esting discoveries and improvements in
the operation of the planter and breed
er have been made by curiously watch
ing the progress and developments Of
affairs on the farm, in the field and the
stable; in fact the young farmer should
cultivate the habit of noticing every
event and phenomena, in crops and an
imals; then examine, compare and rea
son in regard to everything; and by
this process of perception and reflection
draw useful lessons, and put them int,
iudicious practice.

Coal Tar in the Garden.

In several years experience, and in
different localities, we have known mel
on vines, young corn and other vegeta-
bles to be efectually preserved from
the ravages of yellow bugs and other
insects, by sprinkling coal-tar water on
the plants few times and also worms
about the roots are killed Or driven of,
by pouring this tar-water literally into
the soil around the young plants two
or three times.
Take an old kettle or keg and put
into it few quarts of coal tar, then
pour on to it warm water, let it stand
a day or night, stir occasionally, till the
water is colored and scented with the
tar; then it is ready to I've applied, and
is pretty sure to kill or drive away all
insects that destroy vines.

Gems Of Thought.

The beauty of a lovely woman is
like sweet music.
If you would love woman with
out looking back on your love as
folly, she must die while you are court
ing her.
A woman may get to love by de-
grees. The best fire does not fare up
the soonest
When death, the great reconciler,
has come, it is never our tenderness
that we repent of, but our severity.
A man may be very firm in other mat.
ter, and yet be under a sort of witchery
from woman.
We are apt to be kinder to the brutes
that love us than to the woman that
loves us. Is it because the brutes are
dumb2.
One may be betrayed into doing
things by a combination of circum-
stances which he or she might never
have done otherwise.

Southern Dairy Farms.

The cheese and butter industries Of
the Northern and Western States has
grown to such enormous proportions
as to deserve the classification of one Of
the leading National industries. This
comes of a steady and intelligent i'm
provementin in the stock, and an energetic
and persistent effort toward excellence
6f product. The consequent success
affords not only a source of national
graduation, but a lesson from which
the South may well profit. The only
regret is that this success has been at
tanned in one section alone. None of
the essential elements of success in this
line are wanting in the South, and the
only reason which we can assign for
this business being wholly confined to
the Northern States, and the separation
seems as clear as Mason and Dixon's
line, is that our agriculturists have
been interested almost wholly in what
they choose to consider larger and
more important ventures. We do not
here wish to decry the importance Of
the cotton, sugar and other largely
grown crops of the South, but desire
to point out the pertinent fact the very
lands which are untitled for our main
crops, and in many instances are neg
lecleds sentirely, are the very ones best
fited for these dairy farms.
One OF the great drawbacks to the
rapid development of the South, has
been and is, the absence of small farms
of few acres, and the unrealizing
sense of Southern boards of immigra-
tion-where such exist-Of the value
to State, of its ability to say to the
prospective immigrant, "Heres what
you want, it's home, a home in a
healthful climate, with just the soil you
seek, a home which will be sold you on
such terms that you can soon own il
entire"

selling a vast tract of several hundred

process will more surely preserve
the productive power of the land than
deep, fine blowing, and no other mode
will do it at less expense. Bringing
up new soil from below and mixing
it with the upper worn soil, by thorough
narrowing or rolling, is about equal to
renewed soil. Then the sub-soil plow,
loosening the earth to liberal depth
say y to 10 inches-allow the roots of
plants to run down and spread out
more than in shallow soil, for nourish-
ment and moisture; this also restores
worn land.
Besides, land made mellow to this

plants will not feel or suffer the effects
of drouth, as in shallow soil. Further,
land will not suffer half as badly from
excess of water and heavy rains, as the
surplus water can more readily run off.

THE HOUSEHOLD.


Scotch cakes are economical, 80 far
as eggs are concerned, and, if made
with care, will melt in the mouths of
children. To one pound of -four allow
half pound of butter, and a quarter
of pound of sugar; let the butter
stand in a basin near the fire to soften,
but not melt; when soft, rub it and
the flour together; then knead in the
sugar. Roll cut in a sheet half an
inch thick cut out cakes about two
inches square; bake until they are a
light brown. Put them away in a
stone jar, and they will, in a day or
two, gather moisture enough to be soft.
An excellent way to cook duck is
to first parboil it; then take small
dripping pan, or even sauce pan will
answer if it is deep enough; line this
pan with small slices of bacon; put in
little water with which to baste the
duck. When the duck is tender and
brown remove it to a hot platter; make
a thick gravy, using for foundation the
gravy in the pan, just taking out the
bits of bacon; these may be placed
around the duck also With this
should be served mashed potatoes, tur-
nips, onions boiled or cut in thin slices
and fried brown in butter and lard.
Currant jelly or cranberres cannot be
spared.
To boil ham, scrape and wash care
fully in plenty of cold water. Put it
to cook in boiling water enough to
cover it entirely, hook end up; let it
remain on the front of the stove till the
ham begins to boil; then put it back
and let it simmer steadily for three
hours. Take it off the fire and let the
ham remain in the water it is boiled in
till cool enough to handle then put in
o baking pan and sprinkle with about
three ounces of brown sugar run your
pan into hot oven and let it remain
half hour, or until the sugar has
formed a brown crust. This not only
improves the flavor of the ham, but
preserves its juices.

herence t. this rule. Nevertheless, in
bad crop years, when corn fetches the
highest price, it has been observed that
those who uniformly plant in the last
half of April rarely fail; all of which
goes to show that the "custom of the
country" in agricultural matters is apt
to be a compromise between the right
and the wrong, and some departure
from it, if made in the right direction,
is generally safe.
