Growth of the Sontht

Columbus (Ga). Enquirer:
Thirty years ago, in the heyday of
the slavery regime, the total value
Of the southern crops of cotton, to-
bacco, rice, hay, hemp and sugar
cane was $13S, sos, 723. The census
report of 1880 shows the southern
farm products were in the last cen
sus year valued at $760,O00,OOO,
one-third of which was the value
of the cotton product, which re-
mains the great APPLE of the south,
whose standing in the markets of
the world has not oeen affected by
by the East and West Indian, the
Brazilian and the Egyptian cult
walton. Instead Of sending all the
cotton to New England and old
England, the south to-day is loom
ing up as the scat of great cotton
manufacturing interest, so that the
cheaper or cOarser grades of cotton
cloth are readily made for home
consumption, andare competing with
the New England mills success
fully.

virginia Method ii Handling Sheer


Mr.. A. Lord, of Greenwich, Va,
recently wrote to the Home and
Farm as follows:
my sheep are Shropshire downs,
and only lost two lambs this year,
which makes sc lambs born from
II sheep, or at least from 81 sheep,
as four sheep had not LANDED the
LIST of May. Last year | had III
lambs from so sheep, raising Ia.
The reason l had not more twins
this year l suppose was that 80
sheep OF my flock were two years
old with their first lamb. | never
allow my sheep to breed until they
are at that age 1.-TWO years., and
never keep a sheep older than six
years, keeping my best eve lambs
and drafting out the old sheep,
which fatten up well for market,
bringing me from Sc to $6 per head.
l think it is great mistake to keep
sheep after six years old, as they
begin then to go back in their
yield of wool. When l draft my
ewes l ut them in a separate field,
and give them pint of Gnseed meal
per day, which puts them in prime
order. l house all my sheep in win
ter, feeding them clover hay as
much as they will eat up clean, and
quart and a half of a mixture of
oats, cracked corn and bran, in
equal proportions, always keeping
salt by them, one-quarter of which
is sulphur, which l find keeps ticks
away"

The National Live Stock Journal
answers Il lady correspondent rs to
how she can keep butter sweet
from June to December, as follows
Take some unused fruit cans
quart and two quart--and they of
fer precisely the means for preserv-
ing butter. When the the butter is
worked ready for packing land this
should always be done the day after
churning), make a small muslin
sack, about half an inch smaller in
diameter of the same depth as the
glass fruit can she will use. Put
this muslin sack into the can and
fill it with butter through the
mouth of the can, using a small
hammer to press in the butter till
the sack is full up to the neck of
the can. About 81 lbs. may be put
in the sack for a two-quart can.
When the sack is filled firmly with
with butter, told over the upper
edges and place across the top of
the sack 4 strip of wood that has
been soaked in brine. This is to
keep the sack from rising to the
top of the brine. Now po:r in
strongly saturated brine made from
butter salt, and fill the jar, over the
top of the sack, completely full;
now screw on the cover, air tight,
and it is prepared for keeping six
months year as completely as
you can keep fruit put up in the
same can. These cans, filled with
butter, should be set in a dark box
in the cellar. This butter may be
taken out through the neck of the
can with tablespoon, and it will
be found as fresh, rosy and deli
cious in flavor as when first put up.

walls of her house, which in time be
come prison of torture.
A leading agricultural paper of
this country, situated centrally, and
having opportunity of speaking of
all sections, published these editori-
al remarks only two months ago.
The fact is and has been for
long time, that the farmers wife is
expected to do the work of three or
four women, with very imperfect
facilities often for doing the work
of one. She must be cook and pro-
vide three hearty meals day. She
is laundry maid, dairy maid. kitch-
en- girl, wife, nurse, seamstress; she
raises pigs, calves and poultry and
in pinch helps in the field. Her
husband in his work will have
mowers, rcapers, all the modern ma
chinery-what has she9 just her
two hands, and in nine cases out OF
ten her kitckeu is i'll arranged, and
she must carry water, bring in fuel
and do everything at a disadvan-
tage. Who ever knew a farmers
wife to sit down in the middle OF
the day and rest an hour? Yet ev-
cry hired man claim this as his
right Our Continent.

1t is noted that in Georgia an
acre of land, which, in 1880 pro-

In scores of towns and villages OF
the state there are manufactures
springingsup. In one place it is a
wooden mill, in another agricultural
machine shops, and in another an
iron foundry. The growth of the
milling industry is quite remarka-
BILE. These are all gratifying evil
dences of increasing prosperity, of
advancing culture and augmenting
population. These industries spring
up in competition with those of older
states, with the ripened skill of old
and wealthy operators, under the
stimulus OF home demand and the
advantages of a nearer market.
They save the cost of carriage of
the raw material out and manufac
tured article IN. This, under the
wise constitution of the United
States, which forbids any state to
lay tariff, is all the protection
new enterprises in new states can
receive, and is sufficient. The
growth of capital, the payment of
local debts leaving much means to
seek new investment will insure the
building up and expansion of man
enterprises in places
where they have not heretofore
been thought of. This sort of in
vestment has but just begun. 1t is
a sort of movement which is cumu-
lative. One enterprise begets an
other. For. the reason stated, the |
south will shortly be studded all
over with thrifty manufactures of
diversified character Exchange. !

Fancy FARMING

We see a great deal in the agri-
cultural papers about nice farms
that are owned by rich men, who
have got their money in some other
business than farming and are now
spending it in improving a run
down farm and bringing the soil up
to high state of cultivation, erect
ing new buildings or remodeling
the old ones, and stocking the farm
with blooded horses, cattle, sheep
and poultry. This is ali very well
in its way and these men are of
considerable value to the commu-
nifty in which they reside, but this
way of farming is of little value to
large majority of farmers, because
they have not got the capital to
farm in this manner. A large part
of our farmers commenced with lit
tie capital and accumulated prop
erty, slowly but surely. Now, if
we could have letters from some of
these farmers who commenced farm
ing without any capital but their
hands, telling us how they paid for
their farm and stocked it; clothed
and educated their children; and
are now prosperous farmers and out
of debt, it would be interesting
Mr.. Editor, cannot you hunt up
some Of these farmers and give us Il
sketch of their career? 1t would do
good, by letting some of those boys
see what has been done, and so en-
courage them to settle on some of
those old homesteads that have
been deserted, and bring them back
to fertility again, and make them
pleasant homes. l believe it can be
done. / have always maintained
that with the same capital and dep
rivations in the east as many are
obliged to undergo in the far west,
the eastern farm is to be preferred;
and more happiness will be enjoyed
on it. N. E. Farmer.

The New York Telegram said:
at is a credit to President Arthur
that he chooses to make his jour
ney quietly, and at his own ex-
pense, like any other citizen Of the
vast community over which he pre-
sides. The president of the United
States, on his tour across the CONT
nent, it is safe to say, will not
pnt on so much style as a New
York counter-jumper on few days
trip to Long Branch" And the
administration organ at the capital
copied the item as an editorial note,
without comment, thereby endorse
ing it. But the facts in the case
are that the president and his suite
left Washington on a special train
of two private coaches, a dining car
and a baggage car, furnished ''free"
by the railroad companies. AS to
"style," there was as much as a
European monarch would boast
and as to its being sat his own ex-
pense," ask the railroad panies.

who do not see hundreds of them

expenditure of a small portion of
the road taxi How many never
saw sods and muck scraped into the
road bed, to form q highway or

lent for corn and potatoes, but when
worked into q mass of mud, or cut

thistles, burdocks, mulleins, Johns
wort, nettles, etc, etc, ready to
seed all the neighbors' fields? I'm
til we can find such happy persons
in the majority, we hope more at
tention may be given to correcting
these evils, although we would not
lessen the praiseworthy attention
which is now freely accorded to en-
terprIse and interests of almost in
