HERE AND THERE.

If a real killing frost should come
about the time every farmer has half
his tobacco crop housed, what a grand
thing it would be for the yellOwfever
districts.
The flavor of the meat Of the
domestic fowl partal1es to a great eX-
tent of the character of the food which
has been provided. And it is quite a
usual requirement among connoisseurs
of fine poultry to demand "corn-fed"
chicks, or "grain-fed" fowls.
"A practical corn raiser says: "My
opinion is that the main root, or stalk
of corn, never reaches below where
the grain or seed is placed, also that
all stalks have three whorls Of roots,
on the main root, which are the feed
ers; again, that no roots should be
broken by cultivation"
DO you want something to cover a
fence, or clubhouse, or to Chamber
about window or porch? Then you
can find nothing better than the morn
ing glory. The scarlet bean is bright
and showy, and some of the running
gourds can be used quite satisfactorily
to cover stumps and summer-hOuses.
1t requires large bee pasturage
where many bees are kept 1t is es-
timated that in order to produce one
pound of honey nearly 100000 visits
to flowers must be made by the bees.
Yet, in favorable season, some col
onies viii increase the honey in the
hive at the rate of from one to two
pounds per day.
Try SCOT water for house plants.
To prepare it put quart of SCOT into
two gallons of soft water in crock,
let it stand for day or two, stirring
occasionally, then let settle and use the
clear water, diluting, if too strong,
with common soft water Be careful
in its use until the proper strength Is
found.
The Dominique fowl originated in
this country. They are very hardy,
hence tirst-class birds for the farm.
They are as good layers as the Ply
mouth Rocks, but little below them
in size. They are capital settlers and
mothers. Both as broilers and ma
ture fowls they are good for the table
and, having yellow legs, sell well in
the market.
The use of cOttOn-seed or linseed
meal as food for stock should begin
gradually. One gill the first day is
sufficient the first week. ltmay be in
creased until from one to two pounds
are given per day. The quantity al
lowed should be regulated according
to the proportion of other food used,
the concentrated foods being used to
balance that which may be partially
deficient in some desirable elements.
yellow is a color that gives tone
to all other colors. If you gather a
bouquet in the garden and do not in
clude bit of yellow it often seems to
lack brightness. Add yellow rose,
or a spray of calliopsis, or a nastur-
tium, and the change is as great as
that which takes place in landscape
when a burst of sunshine breaks
through the clouds which have been
hanging above it. There is an instant
suggestion OF warmth.
The old farms in Canada that COM
mand the highest prices are said to be
those on which sheep have been kept
from the time they were first occupied.
The pastures on them are comparative
ly free from bushes and weeds, while
the soil is firm and productive of the
best sort of grasses. A farm on which
large number of sheep have been
kept for many years is very desirable
for dairy purposes

Checkmating the Bagging Trust.

Checkmating the Bagging Trust.
The search after some substitute for
te bagging. which would enable
uthern planters to thwart the
hemes of the Bagging Trust, has been
osecuted with energy, but until yes
rday apparently with no success. 1t
Is reserved to New Orleans to present
g first practical substitute in the
ape of an economical and strong cot
n-bagging that promises to serve all
purposes Of the best jute covering.
In our local columns will be found a
Il report of the enterprise of the Lane
Ills of this city, which has resulted
turning out an article that has al
ady been subjected with success to
the tests and rough usages that the
dinary covering of cotton bales has
undergo.
The manufacturer of this article
inns that it is economical, and will
ord even more protection to the sta
than jute itself, and is besides, less
BILE to catch fire. The cotton cloth
ighs but seventeen ounces to the
rd, but is about as wide as the jute
icle, resists the hook as well, and
fers no damage in compressing.
rhe Importance of this innovation
the Southern planter is incalculable,
no sooner will it's merits become
nerally known when numbers of cot
mills will manufacture it, thus
ording effectually a ready weapon to
the Bagging Trust, which promised

lions of dollars of their well-earned

Southern Dairying.

The development of dairying in the
South has been steady and indeed
rapid, considering the condition of the
farmers and planters and the almost
exclusive devotion to cotton. A re.
cent visit to Alabama and Mississippi
was made by an Elgin board of trade
man, He tells of the primitive methods
adopted and speaks very highly Of the
pluck and perseverance of the parties
interested in dairying, in spite of the
obstacles and discouragement. 1t
would hardly be believed, but one of
the largest herds of pure bred Jerseys
in this country is owned by gentleman
in Mississippi, while there are many
herds of smaller size in all the South
ern States. There is no reason why
the dairy business should not be made
more profitable there than in more
northern latitudes. Outdoor feeding
is practicable nearly the whole year;
two crops of hay or forage can be
raised in season; land is cheap and
labor plenty, although not of the best.
This gentleman referred to visited sew
eral creameries already in operation
and found them making butter that
was selling above Elgin quotations,
with orders far in excess of the supply.
The separator system was in use in all
those he visited, but many private
dairies were being run on the submerged
plan, and some are using the cold-air
system.-Dairy World.
