DAIRYING.

No one who has carefully studied
the subject doubts that fair profit
may be realized from winter dairy
ing. But to make winter dairy
ing profitable as careful atten-
ton must be paid to details as in
summer. In summer prices are low
and the great difficulty lies in pre-
serving a temperature low enough
for the best condition of the milk.
cream and butter. In the small
dairdes this is especially true. In
winter attention must be paid to the
necessity of keeping Temperature
equal-that is, that it does not 60
too low. Not only this, but the
cows must be so kept that they shall
have ample and regular feeding
and plenty Of water, and the water
must be considerably above the
freezing point. AS to the bodily
comfort Of the cattle, mere sheds
will not do. The COWS must be
stabbed where temperature may be
regulated and where the feeding
facilities are perfect. By this costly
structures are not meant. AS much
comfort may be obtained in the
rough structure that the farmer
may improvise as the most costly.
Nevertheless this must be at a
greater comparative cost, as a mat,
ter of course, in the feeding and
care. This one thing must, however,
be observed: There must be moth
ing slack in the matter of care and
cleanliness, either with the COWS or
in any of the operations connected
with the milk, cream and butter

LIME AS A FERTILIZER.

In reference to the use Of lime as
a fertilizer, there is a great differ
enc of opinion among practical
farmers, whose opinions are to be
received with respect; but this is
observed, that whereas formerly
lime was used in great quantities at
the present time comparatively little
of it is employed in agriculture. The
action is believed to be upon organ
ic matter already in the soil and to
make this moro easily obtained by
the growing crop. 1t thus adds
nothing to the soil, only enables the
crop to get out more Of what is there
This is the present belief in refer
ence to it. 1t may be seen from
this that lime may be used on lime
stone soil as we'll as on any other,
and also that the use Of ~pulverized
unburnt limestone can be of no val
lie, as it has no power to act upon
organic matter. Also lime long
burnt and exposed to the air and
rain SO that it is largely transformed
back to the carbonate, can be of lit
tie value, for it is only the caustic
lime which can act upon organic
matter to change it. But there are
some conditions of the soil which
are benefited by lime. One of these
is where the land is heavy with
humic acids. These the alkaline
lime ne~utralizes, and thus improves
the soils; also soils which contain
silicate Of potash, if lined, the silica
unites with the lime, setting the pot
ash free in the form of a carbonate
one Of the most valued plant foods.
Such soils are benefited by lime. So
may alluvial and granite soils be
benefited in which there isa natural
deficiency of lime.-G. G. Croft.

COR MEAL FOR MICH COWS.
As cold weather approaches some
mart of the cows ration should be
corn meal. 1t may not be better
than linseed or cotton-seed meal
freed from husk, but farmers have
become accustomed to its use, ana
are in less danger from overlooking.
Some kind of oily food is necessary
to overcome the loss Of heat from
to the cold. For this
reason it is equally important that
cows should be sheltered from
severe cold as much a possible. If
the milk isvery blue in cold weather
few stop to think that the reason is
that the carbon in the food which
should 90 into cream and butter has
been taken by the cow to maintain
animal heat. In other words, the
COW has practically been eating
cream and butter, which is certainly
rather too expensive either asa feed
or fuel.
EASEMENTS FOR SAVING MANURE.
The first barns constructed in this
country were mostly made nearly
or quite level with the ground, or
perhaps elevated by large stones
at each corner or in the middle Of
long beams. This afforded a fine
harbor for rats and other vermin.
Stables for cattle and horses were
made on the ground floor, with the
wind sweeping beneath, rendering
it almost impossible to keep them
warm. The greatest waste, however
was in the manure, the more solu-
Bile parts of which leached through
the same cracks that let the wind
in. Farmers who have walled base
ments under their barns regard the
saving of manure as m of their
important advantages. The bottom
should be made of either matched
plank or concrete SO that even the
liquid excrement need not be wasted.
In many places the stores Of accu-
INFLATED manure under old barns
will more than pay the expense of
clevating them and putting them on
a wall. Under a barn that has stood
some years and has been used as a
stable, the earth will erich

has to be excavated in making the
basement.

are \better adapted to u wants
and suit the climate and soil better).
How much sent off for farm tools?
(and our own honest mechanics
literally have to quit their trade).
Count the stores from the seaboard
to the mountains, and twelve thous-
and dollars worth of Northern-made
axe handles are annually sold in the
State, while hickory timber to make
them was sold at a low price to
Northern mechanics. Every bunch
of strawberries or peaches that our
wives put up must go into jars made
by Yankees. And why is it that
our farmers, generally, can't learn to
take better care of their soil, and to
reduce their acreage, until they can
work their fields like a garden, and
use domestic fertilizers so as to make
the lands yield better and bring a
superior variety of fruit, and at the
same time improve both the soil and
the quality of the produce raised.
How is it that a Pennsylvania
farmer will raise and educate a large
family of children, and pay tax only
on three acres of land? How was it
that Mr. Anderson, of Monroe, raised
one hundred and tortytow bushels Of
corn from one acre, and the quality
of the corn improved perceptibly?
Occasionally planters. after prepar-
ing a field for tobacco, which has to
be done scientifically, take Il notion
to put the field in corn; don't every
one know how freely and beautifully
the corn comes, and how superior in
quality to the remainder of his crop?
Y The sun doesn't look down upon a
better country than we have, if we
would not ruin our soil by unsys-
tematic and partial cultivation. And
while we would do we'll to improve
our systems, we are blatant for
Northern and English planters to
come here and develop the re-
sources of the country. | go for
developing ourselves. We have only
to buy fewer things from abroad,
make more ourselves and protect
and improve our soil.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER fills a
place in North Carolina that ought
to have been filled ever since the
war And our planters ought not
only to patronize it but to stuiy it's
warnings and limitations of i'm
provement. Let every farmer try
to improve his system, and, in as
few words as possible, send his con-
illusions to the paper. There are
fields and gardens in England that
have been in steady cultivation tWO
hundred years, and are now better
than they were at first. To see fields
growing up in sedge and ruined by
gullies in such a country as tins
excites the sneers of sensible men as
they sweep across the State on our
railroads. Instead of encouraging
our boys to 60 to the West, we had
better advise them to remodel our
system Of farming and go to our old
fields. And as | charge nothing for
a suggestion, [ want to say, raise
a little less tobacco and cotton and
pay a little mor attention to fruit,

tic manure. Truly, &C., J. w. V.

CORRESPONDENCE.
\ FARMERS CONVENTION FOR
NORTH CAROLINA.

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE
That agriculture is our chief indus
try and likely to be so for years to
come goes without saying Why
would it not~be we'll, therefore, to
have a Conventiop of representative
farmars of the State, TO be held at
Raleigh during the next session of
the legislature? There are many
matters, doubtless, to be brought up
before the next Legislature that will
have more or Jess bearing upon the
farming interests of the State, and it
might be we'll that such a represen-
tative body of citizens engaged in
the cultivation of the soil should be
given an opportun ty to meet to-
gether and discuss those questions
as we'll as other subjects in which
they are SO deeply interested, as for
instance: improved agricultural
methods, the most economical man
agement of a farm, the labor ques-
ton, the raising Of grasses and the
breeding of cattle, the cultivation of
fruit, the relative merits of CONNER
cial fertilizers, the working of the
public roads by convict or hired
labor, the advantages of a no fence
law, the forming Of county agricul-
tural clubs and the many problems
that concern the farmer, who finds
that the old ways of doing things
places him at a disadvantage with his
more thrifty and enterprising neigh
Dor in other States of the Union, and
who SO often gets discouraged, and,
breaking up all his home associa-
tions, turns his back on the time
hOnored institutions of his State and
seeks a new home among strangers,
and, in many instances, the end Of
that man is worse than the first. [
have lately returned from a trip
West, and often and over again did
the question arise in my mind: what
would these people do were it not
for the grasses and the breeding of
cattle? Deprive them Of this source
of and what would be left.
Yet this one crop, chiefly, makes
their land worth from $50, 500 to
$3.50 per acre.
AS a source of to the
farmer of North Carolina, we may
say, practically, hay and the breed
ing of cattle for market are a nullity.
There are but two ways to increase
a farmers profits, viz: by charging
the yield of his acres or by diminish
ing his expenses. AS long As cotton
and corn and tobacco are cultivated
to the exclusion of the grasses and
leguminOus plants it is not likely
that our land can be made to give
an increased yield, or u expenses
in cu%ltivating them be diminished.
We have the example for such Il
Convention set us by the farmers
of our sister State ofSouth Carolina,
bat as their meetings are for the
purpose of influencing the politics of
their State, as | understand it, such
aims cen to me to be foreign to
those of suchan organization, which
should simply be- to consult together
for their common good, and, if'de-
sirable, recommend to the Legislature
the passage of certain laws or the
repeal of such as have been found
not to work to the benefit of the
State. If this suggestion Of a Con-
vention should be received favorably
and be regarded as practical the
details could be left for future con-
sideratiOn.
