A few weeks more and the cellers
will be filled with the vegetables re-
quired for winter use. Whatever else
is done do not forget to give the cellars
q thorough and effectual renovating
before commencing to store vegeta-
bles and fruit. Too much care cannot
he observed in this. The health of
the family as we'll as the preservation
of the ARTICLES stored requires this
work. Brush down all the cobwebs
on the walls, clean out all the ac-
cumulated dust, and give the walls
and ceilings coat of whitewash. The
fruit, vegetables, and all other articles
to be stored for the winter will keep
all the better,and all the musty smells
will be removed from the most useful
and necessary apartment on the
premises of the farmer. When these
things are done there need be no fears
of the health ofthe family being en-
dangered by poisonous vapors reach
ing them in other portions of the

An exchange says: There is prob
ably no food so good for recuperating
exhausted muscles as good, sound,
heavy oats. They are easily digested,
nutritious, muscle-building, and blood
making in a high degree. They are
little heating, do not tend to make
horses sweat, and on the whole, are
the best food horse can have. Barley
is very good, not equal to oats. Indian
corn is poor substitute, not so easily
digested, heating, and causing the
animal to sweat. AS to system, a
horse should have hay first, then
grain and water when these are di-
gested, or water should be given half
an hour at least before feeding. Horses
often have dyspepsia, induced by be-
ing fed when warm, or being worked
after full meal.

From now until the ground freezes
will be busy time for the farmer.
Whatever else is neglected the plow
must not be; it must be kept constant
ly in motion until the fall plowing
shall be completed; nor can the corn
harvest be neglected. In this latitude
it is the worst kind of husbandry to
let the corn be out in the field until
winter sets in. 1t may be good policy
in Illinois, Missouri, or Iowa, but it is
not in the latitude of Minnesota. The
threshing, marketing and storing of
grain must receive attention or loss
may follow. It will be found better
to thresh the grain at the earliest pos
sible moment after it has gone
through the sweating process. Like
husking corn, it is cold unpleasant
work to thresh grain after the arrival
of winter. Potatoes ought to be dug
and properly handled this month,
that the best results may be obtained
from the crop. The public highways
should be brushed up and repaired so
that they will be good roads in the
winter. Attention must be given to
pork crop, and the bullocks intended
for beef should receive little extra
care. For the next few months the
farmers life will be a busy one but
may not be an unpl easant one. There
is deal of satisfaction IN working to
make everything snug for winter.

FARM NOTES..

Before putting new pork into barrel,
the latter should be thoroughly seal
ded to remove the impurities and to
destroy any germs that would surely
affect the pork if not removed. a
barrel that has once been used to pack
beet in should never after be used as
pork barrel. 1t will be found next
to impossible to keep pork sweet in it.
But this is a rule that does not work
both ways. An old pork barrel is one
of the very best for keeping beef.

The subject of ensilage is always
interesting. The farmers of Great
Britain are especially enthusiastic
in relation to the value and advan-
tages Of this form Of fodder. A
British commissioner appointed to
inquire into the merits and demerits
Of ensilage reports as follows, among
other things, upon the value Of ensi-
lage.
at is obvious that unless the for
age in weighty condition be of
more feeding value per acre than
when saved in less weighty form
there can be no gain to the farmer.
It has been contended that the loss
in weight, in the process of drying,
is simply loss of water by evapora-
ton, and that by avoiding this moth
ing is saved. If such were trul ly the
case, dry forage should give the
same feeding results per acre as
green forage. No practical farmer
would contend that it does SO, and
the difference is especially notice
able in the case of dairy stock. So
far as we have been able to ascer-
tain the opinion Of competent men
on this subject, we estimate the
value of green forage we'll preserved
in silo at somewhat more than
onethird, weight for weight, of the
same material made into hay under
favorable conditions.
''The very wide difference ofvalue
between good and bad silage cannot
be too strongly insisted upon. 1t is
found that grass we'll preserved in a
silo, after deduction for loss, will
yield approximately five times the
weight of the same grass made into
hay. We have, therefore, say five
tons of silage, which, taken at one
third or the value of hay per ton
yields profit ofover go percent. as
compared with one ton of hay. If
we take it at one-fourth, it still leaves
profit of 25 per cent. Any waste
that may occur to reduce the weight
of nutritious forage, whether by
evaporation or by excess of chemical
change, must necessarily affect this
calculation, which is based upon the
highest degree of perfect preserva-
ton SO far known to be attainable.' y

CROP PROSPECTS.

From all directions we hear good
news about the crops. Early in the
season the heavy and frequent rains
were very discouraging, and much
harm was done to the lowland crops,
but the uplands have made up, in
many localities, for the loss in low
lands. We hear many farmers in
this section say they never had bet
ter prospects. One gentleman, near
the city, told us he thought he
would make, in one field, forty bush
els of corn to the acre.
In the East, along the line Of the
Wilmington Il Weldon Railroad, and
the Atlantic 4 n. c. Railroad, the
crops of cotton and corn-we never
saw better.
In this section there will be a good
August crop of cotton, so farmers
say.
Upon the whole the prospect is
cheering, thank Providence.-Char-
lOtte Democrat.

THE WAY WE SAVE MONEY.
For The Progressive Farmer.


Now is the time to begin to pre-
pare for wheat crop. The farmers
of our township (Old TOWN. have
been for years making their own
fertilizers for wheat at cost of SIS
per ton, and they find it equally as
good as the high priced fertilizers.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is now our
medium to communicate to each
other such information as may be
of benefit to us, and | therefore hope
you will publish our formula for
making our wheat fertilizer:
Take 800 pounds dissolved bone,
so pounds Of ammonia, and 1900
pounds Of rich, dry earth. 4Nir 1t
thoroughly. If to be used in wheat
drill, the dirt should be first run
through dirt sieve. We put about
200 pounds to the acre
The dissolved bone costs $50 per
ton-the ammonia $50 per ton.
These chemicals can be bought from
any first class chemical house. We
buy ours by the car load.

HOMEMADE CHEESE.

One of our correspondents a cou-
pie of weeks ago asked for recipe
for making cheese. One of our lady
correspondents, who is too modest,
however, to permit the use of her
name, kindly sends us the following:
Tn your issue of July 21st, Wake
Forest correspondent asked for a
receipt to make cheese on small
scale for home use. have seen no
receipt given, so ! will give one |
saw used during the war:
At night take a piece ofdried beef
rennet about 2 inches square and
cut it into small pieces and put it in
a cup Of water. Then put a table
spoonful of sage in cup and pour
boiling water on it. Let it remain
until the morning milk is strained.
Take two gallons, and stir these
teas into it (after having been
strained) set in moderately warm
place until firm curd forms. Then
turn into a coarse towel, tie firmly
and hang up to drip. At II o'clock
open and stir in spoonful OF salt
and hang up again. Next morning
have ready a wooden hoop large
enough to hold the cheese with a
top to fit inside the hoop. Place the
hoop on plank and line with thin
white cloth, pour the cheese in and
put cloth over it, fit the top on and
put on weight sufficient to press
the particles firmly together. Press
about "a hours, then take out and
rub butter lightly over and fit cloth
on and sew it closely to keep out
bugs Keep in a cool, dry place and
turn often until dry.

PHCSPHATES FOR GRASS.

The best time to apply phosphate
to grass is with the seed as it is uSu-
ally sown with some grain crop. In
this way it serves a double purpose,
helping both grass and grain. In
this way the small quantity usually
applied produces decided effect.
We should fear that top dressing
with phosphate on grass land would
not show much effect unless very
heavy doses were applied. At the
same price per ton for ground phos-
phate rock, and that treated with
sulphuric acid, the latter would be
much more preferable. The value
of phosphate ought to be more gen
orally rated by the amount in SOL
uble condition. The action of water,
frost and carbonic acid gas in max
ing insoluabIe phosphate available
is slow and very uncertain. Much
depends upon the condition of the
soil If it is full of decaying veg
etable matter all it's fertility is more
readily available. On such a soil
top-dressing grass land with phos-
phate might pay, though most farm
ers would say that such land did not
need any help. On the other hand
land badly run down is that no
which resort is soonest had to COM
mercial fertilizers. Farmers take to
phosphate because it is impossible
to make or buy stable manures.
This is precisely the reason why
commercial fertilizers so often fail.
Farmers rely on them exclusively
to make good crops on land other
wise unproductive. If they were
only used on good land they would
pay much better.

PECAN CULTURE IN TEXAS.

The Gulf Coast Progress thus sums
up what may be done in the way of
raising pecans:
There are more undeveloped indus
tries in the South than are now
known, and it seems passing strange
that no man has ever thought of in
vesting money in pecan grove. 'Tis
true that it will require ten years
before it will return any income, but
we all have to wait long before riches
come to u.s.
And there is no one thing that in
one to twenty years will pay so large
a profit, not even the famous orange
grove of Florida There are in the
South, millions of acres of land that
can be purchased from $1.25 per acre
or less, that are the best of lands, to
be put in pecans. The land can be
deadened or girdlcd at a cost of one
dollar per acre, and fifty cents per
acre will plant the pecans. Then all
that will be necessary will be to keep
the bushes cut down until the pecan
is three or four years old, when they
will shade the ground then it will
be necessary to burn the old logs
and it will be ready to bear. At fif-
teen years old the trees will bear
four bushels each This will be about
400 bushels per acre, worth now
about $500 per acre, or $4,000 for
100 acres for an investment of ST.
900. These trees are subject TO no
disease storms never blow them
down as the tap-root runs fifteen to
twenty feet deep. This is a good
opening for some man who wishes to
invest little for his infant boy, that
will make him rich when he is twen-
ty-one years old Try it, some one.
