FALL FEEDING.-The early part Of
the fall is the best time for feeding
and tattening stock for market, and
especially SO for hogs. II hogs have
had the run Of the pastures and are
in a good thrifty condition by Sept.
l, corn shonld be fed night and morn
ing-not too heavy at first; increase
the quantity gradually. The cooler
weather gives hogs an appetite and
they will take on fat right along, and
they can be ready for market as a
much less cost per pound than il
feeding is delayed until cold weather
sets in. Hogs that have had the run
of the wheat and oat fields, or in the
clover pastures, and have also had a
good supply of pure water, are gen
orally in good order and it does not
require such large amount Of feed
to iatten them There is no waste OF
feed in keeping up animal heat, which
will be required if the iattening is
delayed.

FIRMING THE SOIL.

According to some of our North
ern contemporaries the origin of
'6rming the soil, rolling, trampling
or pressing it down after planting
seeds, so generally credited to Peter
Henderson heretofore has at last been
traced by that gentleman himself, if
the story be true, to South Carolina,
where probably it rightfully belongs,
if it originated in this country. But
it is incredible that so simple and
necessary process, and one every
gardener with half intelligence must
inevitably discover in very briei
gardening experience, should have
originated in South Carolina or any
where else in the last thousand years.
The commonest possible observation
must have brought it into practice
centuries ago in all countries where
even rude agriculture receives atten-
ton.
Among our earliest recollections
of turnip sowing, and that was near
ly half a century ago, brlckmason
in the suburbs of town in Southern
Georgia, giving his method of raising
turnips, said he opened the drills one
or two inches deep, sowed his seeds
as thin as possible, covered lightly
and then set his children to tramping
up and down the rows to firm" the
soil.
There is no question about the adj
vantage of frming the soil, no matter
what seeds are planted, how shallow
or how deep. Less air and light can
penetrate, since the heat and mois-
ture are longer retained, while the
soil is pressed up close around the
germ enabling it at once to feel their
effects. Applied to field crops, es-
peclally to corn, cotton, peas of all
kinds, rice, etc, farmers would have
much less complaint to make of bad
stands. In dry weather it is still
more important, and every farmer
should have on hand rollers or other
implements for irming the soil in
case Of such need. Savannah News.

said Brother Gardner as the meeting
opened after the usual style-'I was a
readin' lament bekase de ole fashun'd
man an woman had died off an would
be seen no mo- on alrth foreber. lie
glad on it. De ole fashion'd man
scraped off de measure when he sold
wheat he believed dat any sort of food
an any sort of bed was good huff fur
his chill Zen; he took de biggest piece of
pie at de table; he ate mo- like hog
dan a human bein'; If he had sympathy
it was fur his cattle instead of his FAM
ly. De ole-fashun'd man was a regular
attend'nt at prayer-meetin', but he
worked his hired help twenty hours out
of twentyfour just de same. He'd
drive five miles to church on Sunday to
show his religun, but doorin de odder
six days of de week he was a bad man
to trade horses wild. 1t took his wife
six months to git up de courage to ak
him fur a new kaliker dress an mos of
his chipen growed up an went away
from home widOut a reckoleckshun of a
dozen kind words.
''De ole-fashun'd man had two recipes
fur his fellow bein's. De fust was hard

but two ideahs in regard to boys. De
fust was lots o. work an leetle school
in; de next was lots O. lickins an no
holidays. He had but two ideahs in re-
gard to bizness. De fust was git all We
kin; de mex was keep all We git. He
argued dat liar could neber enter de
kingdom of Heaben, but would go out
an lick sick OK to death without any
fear about his hearafter. He prayed
