FARMERS CLUB FOR THE YOUNG

Too much can not be said or
done TO aid or encourage farmers
clubs. There should be re-un-
ion of farmers and their families ;
a free, social comparison of sue
cesses and failures, from which
new, hints may be gained ; an &C.
casion from which every man may
return with the feeling that he has
improved his mind and helped his
neIghbors.
Governor Robinson says: "The
secret of power lies in combina-
ton; combined sentiment that shall
grow out of the intelligence and
culture OF such a uniou can not
fail"
Young farmers need the club
and grange moro than do their
fathers. Talking in public, in tho
farmers club or grange or in the
farmers convention, is worry bene-
fetal training. Young farmers and
young men expecting to become
farmers can do much in the way of
getting good agricultural educa-
ton without going to the Agrlcul-
tural College, if they choose, yet
the privileges of the college and
witnessing the experiments are far
better than the home farm. Farms
are schooIs-they are next TO the
college.
Tho present tendency is in the
direction of farmers clubs or gath
orings, institutes, oranges &c. At
first we had only one or moro in
each county, and these. societies
are yearly multiplying. To COM
plete the system, we want the small
societies formed in all the towns,
and the whole united into one
grand and cooperative system OF
popular agricultural education, I'M
der the auspices and patronage of
the government OF the state.
The farmers, especially the
young farmers, of the old Bay
State, l trust, will consider this
question. How gratifying would
it be to know that four or five
hundred of these clubs existed,
scattered all over this Common
wealth
1t was my fortune, whether
good or bad, to commence farming
when prices ofproduce were very
low-butter fifteen cents per pound
potatoes at one shilling per bushel,
eggs twelve cents per dozen, pork
five cents, beef four cents, &c. But,
with all these seeming discourage
ments and obstacles, l liked farm
ing, and firmly believed then, as
now, that If intellIgently conduct
ed it will bring the average man
as many good things In this world
that are worth strivin" for as will
any other occupation.
If it be seriously urged that
farmers cannot afford the time for
mutual improvement, L answer
they can not afford at the present
day not to do it.-Daniel Dwight
in Southbrldge Journal.

THE COMFORT OF ANIMALS.
NJ r-1-p.FaN-
Texas Farm and Ranch.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
Discomfort Is q sure sign of Il
diseased condition of the body.
Although We commonly designate
by the term disease only those con-
ditons which arc accompanied or
have been Immediately preceded
great discomfort, yet it is mono the
the less true that when the body is
IN Il perfectly healthy condition,
there is no feeling OF discomfort.
Whenever we are uncomfortable
we are diseased, although the dis
ease may be so slight that the eff
fects arc scarcely noticeable, or
conditions may become so favora-
bile that nature will Immediately
correct any evils which may have
arisen. But any diseased condl-
ton of the body. however slight or
however readily corrected, must
impair the vital force to some eX-
tent, and make tho body moro sus-
ccptible TO acute, dangerous dis
eases. Hence, the comfort of farm
animals should be provided for,
not only on account of present
good, but that diseases of 4 serious
nature may be wardcd of.
The comfort of farm animals in
summer can be attained only by
the provision of shelter from the
sun. If exposed TO the hot sum
MGR, the animals will experience
great discomfort and what the re-
suit will be l have Just pointed
out, and we can verify it from our
own experience. For, in spite of
all We can do for our comfort in
hot weather, we must suffer con-
siderable discomfort from the heat,
and this we say, and say truly, en-
ervates and weakens us. The body
''runs down." that it becomes weak,
the various organs become dcrang-
ed in their action, and if an cpl
dcmlc disease breaks ont those who
have been thus weakened most are
the most likely to be successfully
attacked by the epidemic. Farm
animals arc similarly affected, and
if not provided with shelter from
the hot sun lose strength and flesh
at the time, and are apt TO sue
cumb to epidemic disease later.
Comfort is essential to the diges-
ton and assimilation of food, rs
nearly complete as possible. If
there is great bodily discomfort
the organs of digestion and assimi
lation refuse to do this work as
we'll as they might. We know this
from our own experience. This
loads to loss of blood, and also
increases the liability to serious
disease. The farm animal exposed
to the hot sun of summer will be
compelled to waste part ofits food,
because the proper organs will fail
to thoroughly digest and assImilatc
the food. Here, then, is q direct
and immediate loss; and IN these
times of small margins sneh loss
is to be guarded against, for it is
only by getting the most possible
out of food that any profit can be
madc-and at all times it is well
to guard against such loss, for it Is
surely good policy TO got the high
est profit.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he had some affection ofthe kidneys or
neighboring organs. AT times, symptoms Of
indigestion are present, rs flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like
perspiration, producing very disagreeablo
itching, particularly at night after getting
warm in bed, is very common attendent.

Farm and Home.
Is COTTON RAISING PROFITABLE :

n. o. Tmes-Democrat-
Can cotton 90 cultivated profita-
bly, in this country at present
prices is a question that has long
boon perplexing Southern farmers.
The prevailing opinion is that cot
ton is not a profitable crop; and
there Is proposition now much in
favor TO make it profitable by re-
duclng the production and thus in
creasing the crop.
What is greatly needed in this
matter is accurate information as
to the cost of producing cotton
and how it can be reduced. Tho
census attempted to give informa-
ton on this point, but the facts
presented by it were so contradic-
tory as not 10 be wholly valuable;
and such important changes have
taken place in cotton culture since
then as to demand some new facts
and figures as to the cost of its
production.
The News and Courier has re-
opened the problem in South Caro-
lima and obtained great amount
of information upon 1t, which tends
to show that the profit in cotton
raising. depends moro or less on
the farmer himself and whether he
is an efficient and economical man.
ager or not. Tho inquiries show
ed also that majority of cotton
farmers in South Carolina, and we
suppose it is equal true of yall the
Southern states, keep no record of
any of the incidentals entering
into the costs of production no
record of the cotton seed and other
outside productions. They have,
therefore, no idea of what the cot
ton costs to produce or what it
yielded them on profit, but have q
vague suspicion In their mind,
with nothing to base it on, that
they loose money.
Tho returns of such farmers,
however, who have kept record
of their crops and who are frequent
ly able to answar the questions
propounded show an average of
SIS i9 per acre on land distributed
throughout South Carolina, after
making q liberal allowance for ex-
penses of all kinds. The profit
arose IN several instances to S12
and SIS Der acre. Wherever the
land was thoroughly cultivated
and tertilized there was consider
able profit on 1t. As this land,
which was reported as producing
crops worth SIS IS per acre, pos
sessed an average selling value of
SIS rs per acre, tho farmers had lit
tie ground for complaint.
1t would seem, therefore, that
cotton can be cultivated at hand
some profit in South Carolina if
the right methods arc pursued, and
that it can be most proftably rails
ed in connection with other crops.
Every farmers wife, says Mrs.
A. G. Chandler, knows how hard
it is to get the husband to spade up
the garden. The best way to over
come this difficulty is to move the
garden operations out into the po-
tato patch. Plant the vegetables
there, in rows, where they can be
cultivated by horse power. BY
putting the garden out there, clean
er culture will be insured.

The common practice of plough
ing at the same depth every year
is apt to make q hard pan by pack
ing the soil below where the share
scrapes over it. If this depth is
varied occasionally the hard pan
will be broken up, and this alone
is good reason for deeper ploughing
than usual sometimes. This extra
depth of furrow, however, should
be made when the subsoil is dry.
To plough deep in spring when the
soil packs from being filled with
water only makes tho evil worse.
In fact, heavy soils should not be
ploughed at all when water-soaked,
as this often results IN permanent
injury.
