Have a Plan IN Farming.

The great fault with American
farmers is constant desire for
change. The farm is rarely thought
of as home which the children are
to occupy during life time, and
then leave to their heirs. There is
too much changing with the crops
first one thing and then another,
the result of which is a thrifting
that is proftless. For few years
it may be that sheep-raising is the
leading feature of the farm, soon to
be followed by rearing a breed of
cattle or cultivating hops, tobacco,
or even rhubarb. The general
management of farm should be
planned once for all, 1t only being
subject to those changes that i'm
provement in agricultural methods
suggest. The work of a farm should
GO on regularly from year to year,
so that even in mid-wilter the far.
mer may make his arrangements
and complete his scheme of work
for the whole season. The man
who is trying to sell his farm has
his heart ia some other locality oil
business, and he who is ready tc
devote his energies TO some new
crop or method is seldom on the
highway to success. 1t is well tC
try that which is neW, but not by
giving up the old and well =tFieQ
methods.

Salt for the Throat,

For many years past, indeed we
may say during the whole Of life
of more than forty years, we have
been subject to dry hacking
cough, which is not only distress
ing to ourself, but to our friends
and those with whom we are
brought into business contract.
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common
salt. We commenced by using it
three times a day, morning, noon,
and night. We dissolved a large
tablespoonful OF pure table salt in
about half small tumblerful of wa
ter. With this we gargled the
throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result was that
during the entire winter we were
not only free from cough and colds,
but the dry hacking cough had en-
tirely disappeared,
We attribute these satisfactory
results solely to the use of salt gar
gle, and most cordially recommend
a trial of it to those who are subject
to diseases of the throat. Many
persons who have not tried the salt
gargle have the impression that it
is unpleasant, but after few days
use no person who loves a nice
clean mouth and first rate sharpe
ner of the appetite will abandon it.

beef stock, Herefords, Shorthorns
and their grades and crosses, with
the best feed and care that exper-
fenced feeders could give them, and
may be considered representative
animals of their class. Let US now
look at the record of some of the
best butter producers and compare
probable profit of the two classes.
Eurotas, the property of A. B.
Darling, has a record of having
made 778 pounds of butter from
1925 pounds of milk, in IL months
and 6 days; Jersey Queen of Bar
net, ITO pounds in one year; Jer
sey Belle of Scituate, 705 pounds in
one year; Pansy 574 pounds, when
a four-year-old. Mr.. A. B. Oar
ling's four-year-old cow Bomba
made 81 pounds and III ounces in
seven days, or 3.1O3 pounds per
day. These are representative
cows, and are only cited to show
the capabilities of the cow for but
ter. Good butter COWS will produce
nearly as many pounds of butter
upon the same amount of proper
food, as can be obtained pounds of
beet, when fed to the average beef
stock.
1t would take pretty good beef
animal to produce the number of
pounds, live weight, in the same
time. Yet we can sell our butter
for four or five times the price of
live weight beef
If she gives 800 lbs. during the
year, and we sell it as he did, for
50 cents, we have $I05; 300 pounds
gain of beef at cents would be SIS.
1t may be said that dairyingls more
expensive than steer feeding, and
that the latter can be conducted on
the cheaper lands of the west, but
as against such considerations we
have others to Offset them. Our
product is more easily handled,
costs US much less to ship, the COWS
give us a calf every year, and we
have theil milk for the pigs.-Rural

A Farmers Exchange.

There is an active, earnest effort
being made by the farmers of this
county for an exchange in this city
The object of the organization is tc
make the farmer independent of q
local market for his produce by
placing him in telegraph commu nj
cation with the principal markets
of the country; there is nothing an
tagonistic to the home merchant in
this move furth than it gives the
option of a half dozen markets.
instead of one, to the producer. 1t
is their intention, as soon as organ
ICED, to rent room in this city, in
which samples of such articles as
the farmer has for. sale, and the
clerk employed to take charge of
this room will keep bulletined, for
the benefit of the producer, the lat
est market quotations by telegraph
on all the principal agricultural
products, and from all the leading
markets. 1t is estimated that the
annual cost of maintaining the ex.
change will not exceed $4,000, while
it will benefit the farmer 5 per cent.
on his market products.
The convenience, pleasure, and
benefit of an exchange of this kind
ought to interest every farmer who
makes Nashville his market, and
the fact that the intelligent and
successful farmers of Davidson
county are at the head of it should
be proof of its merits.
Giles county farmers might profit
by a concert with Davidson far
mers.-Spirit of the Farm.

Pound for Ponnd.

When we were told some years
ago by breeder of jersey COWS
that he could make a pound of but
ter as cheaply as the best of fee
ders could make pound of beef,
we confess to have received the
statement with some grains of hest
tation, and the more we thought of
it the more incredulous we became;
but it was made by an experienced
and truthful man, and we were
anxious to see it in that light if it
was true, and to prove the contrary
to him if not,
We sought information therefore
elsewhere, and the further we look
ed and the more we Investigated,
the more clearly did we realize the
correctness of his point. But what
astounded US was the fact that his
butter was being sold by contract
the year round at the average of
thirty five cents pound, whilst
the best beef was worth only from
six to seven, and that farmers were
devoting so much of their time and
their means to the production of the
cheaper instead of to that of the
more high priced article.
And even now we question if the
problem is a clear one to the major
ity OF farmers, or even of business
men who are VIGOROUSLY close at
all the little details that
enter into the cost OF an article,
and comparing the result with the
price they can get for it. Let US
do little figuring to show how it
can be done.
From the report of the last fat
stock show, we learn that the heav
lest animal weighed 3,O55 pounds,
the heaviest two year-old steer, g
22O pounds: and the prize yearling,
900 pounds. The champion four
year-old steer, McMullen, weighed |
}, sos pounds, and had made a gain
Turing the year of 40 pounds. $50
pounds was the heaviest gain made
n the year by any animal shown
asst year, while several made not
,ver 800 pounds. Four yearlings
made daily gains of 2.97, 2.51, 2.3l
nd 223 pounds. Young stock
lways make larger gains on the
pod consumed than older ones.

An Ohio cultivator, being oppos-
ed to the use of such virulent poi
son as Paris green and London
purple on potatoes and cabbage to
kill bugs and caterpillars, tried the
following experiments with alum /;
He dissolved four ounces of alum in
two gallons of water, and sprinkled
it on the potatoes with handful of
broom corn, which was tied together
for that purpose. After careful
observation il was found that the
bugs were all killed in about five or
six days, and one application was
all that was needed; the bugs did
not trouble him after that, and the
potatoe vines were not stunted as
by the application of London pur-

Good and Bad Husbands.

1t has been profoundly remarked
that the true way of telling a toad
stool from a mushroom is to eat it.
If you die, it was toadstool, if you
live, it was a mushroom. a SINH
lar method is employed in the Sc
lection of husbands. Marry him;
if he kills you, he was a bad hus-
bandit he makes you happy,he is a
good one. There is really no other
criterion.
Some young men that seem unex-
ceptional, indeed very desirable,
when they are single, are perfectly
horrid as soon as they married. All
the latent brute there is in the heart
comes out as soon as a sensitive
and delicate being seeks her happi-
ness in his compahionship. The
honeymoon lasts very short time,
the receptions and rounds of par
ties are soon over, and then the two
sit down to make home happy. If
she has a society man, he will soon
begin to get bored; he will yawn
and go to sleep on the sofa. Then
he will take his hat and go down to
the club and see the boys, and
perhaps not come home until morn
ing. If she had married a man en-
crossed in business, he will be fag-
ged out when he comes home. He
may be a sickly man that she must
nurse, a morose man she must seek
to cheer, a drunken man that she
must sit up for, violent
msn that she fears,a tool whom she
soon learns to despise, vulgar man
for whom she must apologize-in
short, there are thousands of ways
of being bad husbands, and a very
few ways of being good ones. And
the worst of it is that the SILLY
women are apt to admire in single
men the very traits that make bad
husbands, and look with contempt
and ridicule upon those quiet vir
tues which make home happy
Men with very little personal beau
ty OF style often make the wife
happy, and sometimes quite the re
verse. The number of ways of be
ing a bad husband is almost al
great as the number OF ways of be
ing ugly. No one can tell from th'
demeanor of single man what sor
of a husband he will be. However
she must marry somebOdy,-Cleve
land Farmer.

An open Winter.

An Indiana native, on being re-
Gently Intercepted concerning his
views of the prevailing weather for
the comingwinter. Being himself an
old squirrel hunter and mink trapper,
answered that he thought we were
going to have kind of open, mild
winter. He said he never knew the
signs he went by to fail. The corn
husks have but two or three layers on
them, and the corn was dry enough
two weeks ago to go through a
snow without injury. The husks
are as thin as calico. When the
sun crossed the line, the wind blew
from the southeast, and that indi-
Gates a mild winter every time. If
it had blown from the north then
we might expect to hear the wind
blow great gusts. His dog holed a
ground hog, and he went to work
and dug him out; and he had not
a thing in the shape of a nest in the
hole, which would certainly have
been full of leaves fit is going to
be cold winter. The coons hSdn't
begun to gnaw the corn, and the
wood peckers hadn't commenced to
drum. If it was to be cold win
Ter, they would have had their holes
pecked long ago. Now all we have
got to do is Just to wait and see.

Do farmers ever realize the i'm
portance and dignity of their call
ing? "Only farmer" is a term
often used in contemptuous sense,
but only by those with shallow
brains and no manners. "Only a
farmer" are words full of meaning.
They carry the mind away back in
the-dim past, far beyond the record
of books, manuscript or monuments.
Farming, in some of it's phases, is
coeval with the first dawn of civil
cation. In reality, it is the founda-
ton and support OF every other in
dustry. 1t is the real source of
wealth-an absolute necessity.
Without farming there would be no
manufactures, no commerce. The
hum of the busy shops would die
away; the ships would cease to
pillow through the billowy ocean
and rot at their docks, and the
rumbling trains oyer the iron roads
would decay from inactivity. s.Only
a farmer" then, has a profound
meaning. 1t mears the creation of
wealth, the sustaining of life, the
advance Of civilization, the happi-
ness of the human race. Every
farmer should, therefore, take pride
in the business, and prosecute it
with energy instead Of bewailing his
fate as one of toll, as many do who
have no just conception of the hon
orable, ennobling pursuit in which
they are engaged

Where wheat is not at all crowd
ed. in the rich mellow soil, and
the tilling is not impeded, the av-
erage number of stems for each
plant is about sixteen. Each one
produces a head or ear, containing
on an average, under reasonably
favorable conditions, fifty grains.
Thus one grain yields eight hundred
grains. At this rate the man who
sows two bushels to the acre, would
harvest sixteen hundred bushels
per acre, or else much of the seed is
lost. The aver age yield OF the
country, however, is less than fifteen
bushels per acre. A bushel of wheat
contains ordinarily seven hundred
and fifty thousand grains; two bush
ell, one million five hundred thou
sand grains. An acre of land con
tains slightly above six million
square inches. So that each plant
has four square inches from which
to derive sustcnance. Measure that
on the ground and see how small it
is. Can you expect pl mt to make
vigorous growth on four square
inches? Can you expect it to tiller
and produce sixteen stems? Can
you expect it to mature sixteen full
heads? he result of this crowding
is plain. The plants cannot gain
nutriment when growing so densely.
Some must die that Others may live.
The strong triumph and the weak
succumb. This struggle for life be-
gins as soon as the plants appear
above ground As the plants grow
larger they require more room. and
others must give way, and very few
if any attain a full growth. All are
cramped and starved. Tillering is
impeded; many plants d not tiller
at all, and thase that do, tiIler i'm
perfectly. The same is true of
earring. Full ears cannot be ex-
pected. An acre of wheat contains
about ei9 hit hdndred thousandheads.
1t is safe to say that on account of
tillering these are produced by
three hundred thousand plants.
Consequently only one-fifth of the
grains sown produce mature plants
these plants produce less than one
nth of the proper number of stems
by tillering, and these produce i'm
perfect heads. This is almost en-
tirely caused by crowding.
Two quarts of seed sown on an
acre have produced fifty bushels OF
wheat. Where all conditions are
favorable, the American farmer
should not SOW more than half bush
elper acre. But agricultural reforms
are never sweeping; therefore let the
wheat grower try one busheI per
aere.-American Agriculturist.

Second Crop Irish Potatoes.

An exchange says: "The second

that the kentucky second crop
rotted last winter. From all parts

crops of we'll matured potatoes we're

market commanded from Eve to
seven dollars per barrel, when the

from tEo to three dollars and par,

seed produced double, and often
