Farm and Stock Notas.

Mud on the cows should not be allowed,
Use The brush. A COW should be kept as
clean as horse.
A hard crust over the soil prevents the
rain and heat from entering. Always keep
the surface of the soil loose.
The soil should be more than supplied
with the elements removed by each crop,
and it will never lose is fertility.
1t is not necessary to use a heavy plow
in the orchard, as it sometlmes cuts the
roots too much. The cultivator Is suf-
ficient.
You cannot make special butter COW of
one that is not adapted tor such purpose,
but judicious feeding will increase the yield
to a certain extent.
An application of kerosene oil will mate
rally prevent rust on the iron work of i'm
Elements Implements should be put away
in a dry place, where dampneSs cannot
reach them.
L.w wagons should be preferred on the
farm The difference in the labor required
to load and unload a low wagon, as com
pared with higher one, is very great.
Broad tires are also better than those that
are narrow
The Rural World believes that the gene
raj farmer with 200 acres of land should
keep 81 sheep for utility's sake alone. Such
men can afford to estimate the value of
sheep from the standpoint of meat, fertil-
ity and the general advantage to the farm,
regardless of the market price of wool.
Michigan Agricultural college expert
ments with wheat show that salt lessened
the yield of wheat, $50 pounds being sown
to the acre. Prof. johnson inclines to think
that one and quarter bushels of seed gives
the best yield. The old Clawson seems to
retain, in good degree, those qualities which
have made it popular for longer term of
years than most other varieties.
Don't try to crowd 80 hens into poultry
house suitable for only %, as the larger the
flock the fewer the eggs, proportionately,
unless they have perfect accommodations.
AS a rule small focks give larger profit
from the same outlay than when numbers
are kept that cannot be properly provided
for.
Plants sometimes need variety of food
as well as animals. A plant will not
thrive if given an excess of one kind of
food and stinted in another. In applying
fertilizers the object should be to use sub
stances that are lacking, to a certain extent,
in the soil.
It is better to make your land produce
more rather than to attempt TO cultivate
more land The larger the area cultivated
the greater the proportionate expense.
Even the matter of simply travelling to the
distant end of large farm becomes quite
an item of expense in the course of year.
The work should be concentrated on the
smallest space that permits of profit.

Negro Bulldozers.

From the cambridge (GG) Democrat.
Last Thursday night Adolphus Crivilliel
happened to the misfortune of gettiu G his left
jawbone knocked into mince-meat. Adol-
phus is our city barber; is a well behaved,
industrious and thriving colored citizen
In the late election, in the exercise of his
inalienable rights, he voted the democratic
ticket. AS soon as it had become known
he was threatened with expulsion from the
several organizations ana societies to which
he belonged.
His assailants on the night in question
were Bill eileen and Mark Whaley, two
negroes, who have recently had much to
say that was obnoxious against those Of their
race who undertook to vote the democratic
ticket; and Crivillier swears that he was
waylaid and assaulted by them for no
other reason. Warrants were at once
issued for the alleged bulIdozers on Il charge

were arrested and held to appear efore the
superior court in bonds of : 90 each
Messrs. Wright and Fordham, their en-
ployers, going their bail. 1t is needless to
add that they will find out more about law
than they now know ere they are again at
liberty.
We heard another negro who had voted
the democratic ticket say that he mad been
threatened in these words: "Crivillier has
been fixed, and we expect t. do every one
the same way who voted the democratic
ticket" Ia other words they have declared
the vendetta against ell coloreI men who
choose TO freely exercise their right to vote,
provided it is not their way.

To Measure Lines of Fences.

Farmers frequently wish to know the
length of certain lines Of fences or lines
where fences are to be placed, says the New
Orleans Picdyure, and have no convenient
way of measuring the distances only by
pacing it, which is very unreliable. A
mans steps are from 2 to 3 feet, according
to the length of his legs. And a man of
energy in haste makes longer steps than a
lazy man.
A horse when walking makes steps Of
much more uniform lengths than those of a
man. Measure distance Of 100 or 200 yards
accurately with a l0-foot pole or Is or 90
foot pole, and drive down two stakes to
mark the space. Let it be 100 yards
Then mount your saddle horse and count
his steps from stake to stake. Go back and
forth several times to be sure you have his
average number of PAGES to 100 yards.
Then count his PAGES on any line you wish
to measure and make your calculations Of
the actual number Of yards.
We have mule that makes with great
uniformity 400 yards in 500 PAGES, little
over 1900 PAGES to the mile. BY taking
the number of PAGES between 2-mile posts
you can easily calculate the number Of
inches TO each step, or the number OF PAGES
to 100 yards; or 20 yards, one side of a
square acre.
A very convenient way Of keeping an ac-

Fighting the Freshets.

J. w. Watts, writing in the Cotton Plant
says he has for a long time entertained the
opinion that our people would be forced to
give up the bottom lands to grass, either for
meadow or pasture; and the late terrible
freshet has confirmed him in this opinion
And the earlier they realize this neces-
sity the better for them. Many depend en-
tirely on their fine bottom for the corn and
fodder to feed their stock. If they fail in
this, which they do on an average every
third year, they have their feed to buy;
when, if these lands were well set in Ber-
muda or Means grass, the crop would have
been housed before the rains fell, at a cost
of about 81 a ton-which would be worth
from SO to $50 ton, owing to the market.
An acre of good bottom well set will yield
from one to two tons at a cutting, and often
a second cutting can be had. And then the
land, instead of getting poorer by being
washed away, would grow richer by holding
its own and catching much of what would
pass by, by the aid of the grass; and the
only chance of losing the crop is to be
caught in the rain while cutting, which is
very rare, for the crop is soon disposed of
and put beyond the reach of rain.
We all know that corn is an expensive
crop at best. And from the length of time
it takes to mature, it is exposed to three
dangerous seasons, May, August and Sep
TENDER; and to lose one in three is ruinous
drawback on the profits. But the grass
will wait and take the chance of better
weather, and cost so much less. And then,
when the barn is well filed the stock are
apt to get plenty, which is rarely the case
when the principal food is corn and fodder
And again, all experience proves that
horses raised on grass and hay are more
valuable than when raised on corn and fod-
der alone.
1t is a great mistake to assume that the
grasses cannot be grown profitably in our
climate While nearly all kinds do well
here, there are two or three that seem to
luxuriate in this state, and as far south as
Texas, which is as far as / have been; and
no better hay grasses are known to us and
one is pre-eminently grazing grass-I re-
fer to the Bermuda the other is the Means
grass, which yields a fine coarse hay, and
Yields abuudantly. and is well suited to bot
tom lands.
In Mr.. Watts opinion it would be better
to depend on the native grasses for pasture
and to Craze these bottom lands with all
kinds of stock than to continue the present
system, for many an acre that was origin
ally very fertile has been so often plowed
and then flooded that all the soil has gone,
leaving it too poor to grow corn. If this
land were well set with Bermuda grass, it
might in few years be restored to fertility,
and make pasture that would gladden. the
heart of any farmer who loves his stock as
n farmer should

be sent beyond our borders. If there be
objection to this on the score of morality,
there need be no compunctions as to con-
verting the juice into jellies and canning
the pulp. In making either wine or Jelly,
the peel of the orange must be removed.
This, with proper manipulation, makes
merchantable commodity. Many may be
surprised that the pulp can be utilized.
I'm canning oranges" says arecent rella-
BILE authority on this subject, "the peel and
seeds being removed, the pulp may be
placed in the cooking kettle, with free juice
sufficient to cover it, with the proper prepa-
ration of sugar, and when brought to boil
1t is to he placed in tin or glass cans, as are
peaches and other fruits, while yet hot, and
Dramatically sealed. The volatile oil of the
peel may be readily extracted and it com
mands high market price. The same uten-
sils required in making jelly and canning
can be used i'll extracting the juice from
the lemons, lines, split oranges, wind
falls, and those prematurely damaged, and
concentrating the juice into syrups for Or
ange and lem0nadeS and other drinks. The
factory need not cease work because the
citrus fruits are out of season. After high
tide of the market for tomatoes has passed,
tons of fruit remain on the vines, and their
season may be extended for six months.
These now go to waste, but they could be
canned. saved and rendered marketable, as
cheaply as they can in Baltimore and other
places Many bushels of mulberries,
plums, blackberries, etc, now going to
waste, can be converted into jellies and
preserves, constituting food and luxuries
for home people, beside making them ex-
ceedingly valuable in the markets of the
world. All the guavas. Of which the state
has the monopoly, can be worked into jellies
and preserves"
1t seems anomalous, and contrary to rea-
son, that in the eastern and northern states,
where the abundance of fruit is far less
than in the south, and where a still greater
proportion goes to waste, because OF the
limited home market, where every one al
most may raise his own fruit. If the pro-
prietors of northern canning factories fully
realized this fact. it would not be long be-
fore they moved their establishments to the
center of production.
To those who are entirely new to the bust
ness, it may be said that the cost of the
plant, building and tools, that would give
employment for 500 employees, need not ex
coed $4,000. The period of labor extends
throughout the year, instead of a few
months as in the northern states, which
makes il far better for the workmen. Not
only would this consume the waste fruit
and vegetables, but vastly add to their pro-
duction, as it would largely increase the
demand.

Profits in Hens.

A farmer giving his experience In caring
for poultry, writes the Rural NeW YORKER
as follows: keep 100 hens. l find that
thoroughbred hens will lay more eggs than
crossbreds, though they will not grow any
faster. Most poultry ailments are due TO
filth in their food and drink. Soft food Will
always get more or less dirt in it, as the
fowls are sure to track through it. The
same food led dry will never get in such
condition. l always feed my grain dry. In
