resolve to enlarge the stables and increase
store of food or sell the approximation sur
plus stock, or enough of them to enable him
to house and feed the remainder. There is
is no greater folly than to feed corn and
hay and other forage to keep up the heat of
animal life when half the quantity of food
with dry, warm quarters will accomplish
the same object. Shingles and boards and
lumber are cheaper as conservators of
warmth and comfort than corn fed as fuel
for generating that warmth and comfort
Ten pounds of food given to an animal kept
in good quarters are as effective in sustain
ing life and flesh as Is pounds of the same
food thrown into trough in an open lot for
the shivering animals to fight over.
These remarks have an immediate appli-
cation to the process of fattening pork hogs
which ought now to be well advanced in
every well-conducted farm, How incon-
sistent for a farmer to complain that it costs
too much to raise his own pork while he
dumps into an open pen, reeking with foul
stencaes and floating in filth, basket of
raw corn on the cob three times day to his
pokers! Reader, is this a description of your
hog pen!
What shall be said of the man who claims
to be conSiderate husband and father who
takes no thought of the great comfort and
convenience of whole winters supply of
good, dry fueland kidding, cut to fit the
firepl ce and stove and stored in a conven
lent wood room or shelters We are
glad to note an Improvement in these re-
spects as we travel occasionally through the
country. Farmers areimproving in many
respects and are much in advance of the
ideas and practices of twenty-five years
ago. But there is still room for improve
ment, and still many who have made no
progress at all. Let these take kindly-as
we have given them-these hints and criti-
cisms and resolve to profit by them.

Farm and Stock Notes.

Too much grain Is more detrimental to
breeding stock than not enough. The food
should be bulky, with small allowance of
grain.
The water trough needs a thorough scrub
bling and scading occasionally, or it will
soon be coated with slime.
1t is agood cow that will give 5000 quarts
of milk in year. Yet by breeding from
choice sIres, even on ordinary dams, that
quantity eau easily be obtained from every
cow in a herd in few years.
The Pekin duck can be kept in yards
without ponds of water, but it should
have trough to hathe in, while the food
should consist mostly Of grass or cooked
roots.
Animals are subject to habits. A COW
that is fed at certain hour will always
come up from the pasture to be MIXED
without the necessity of sending for her.
No animal is so hardy as to require no
attention. The more an animal is exposed
the less it will produce, either of pork, wool,
mutton, beef or milk.
The estimated loss to cotton, apple and
potato crops from insects is SAC, 100000. Y ct
the farmers take no precaution to protect
the birds. Every bird killed adds just the
work it would perform to the labor Of the
farmer, who consequently has greater
number of insects TO destroy.

What Florida Most Needs.

What has made the veal hier states of
our union so rlchs asks Life in Florida.
Small manufactures and skillful agricult-
wrists. Where there was one merchant i'll
our state thirty years ago there are thirty
to-day, although the population and wealth
have not more than tire led since then.
This is not healthy. Where is our skillful
blacksmith, wagon and buggy maker, our
boot and shoe maker, ETC., etc! Up north.
The cheap, shoddy product Of a northern
factory takes the place of the stout, sub
stantial, homemade article Here, in an
agricultural and fruit-growing state, We eat
western wheat bread, feed our horses and
COWS on western corn and oats, use imported
cabbage, potatoes, onions and lard, and send
our hard-earned dollars away for goods and
stuff that we ought to raise ourselves. In
stead Of employing ourselves with making
compost heap and sowing the stable man
ure-the only true fertilizer-we send our
hard-earned dollars away for artificial stuff
What we need most Is home manufacture
and industrious and careful husbandry in
fruit and vegetable growing

What Cutworms Make.

A farmer ought to investigate for the
facts in the case of every thing he don't
understand. no matter how Insignificant 1t
VIII surely interest him and give him some
thing to think about, besides he may often
be able to turn his information to most de-
cided advantage. The Owensboro (Ky9
Messenger mentioned an incident which
clearly bears out this position. Last spring
and summer cutworms were very bad up
there, and the farmers had many discus
slons about what the worms would "turn
TO-" Some though they would turn into
grasshoppers, others were certain they
would be tightening bugs. Amoung them,
interested in the matter, was Ben
SalmonS an intelligent young farmer, of
Llvia. He caught a number of the worms
April |, and fed them carefully for two
months Then they ceased to eat, and
finally went into the crystals state, making
the charge common to the butterfly family,
emerging about September 80, full grown
moth of dark, brownish gray color.
This settled the question as to what cut
worms would "turn to-" and gave Mr.,
Salmons some useful information. Now
when he sees the moths focking around
where he is making his molasses he knows
what they are, and what they will pre-
pare for his next seasons crops, so he goes
for them without mercy.

Feed for Calvine Time.

The COW that is expected to caIve during
the fall or early winter needs more consid-
Grafton than other stock. She should be
dried. says the Southern Cuitirator, and an
interval of few weeks rest allowed TO re-
cuperate her strength and to prepare her for
the d. ain upon her resources during the
winter. If she enters her winter quarters
strong and vigorous, and be treated uni
formly by her owner with generous hand,
be will have no cause to complain about the
way she will respond. AS the grasses dis
appear in the fall these functions must be
supplied without intermission by the best
substitutes at hand-ensilage is best of all
perhaps, but in the absence of this, ground
food. cut hay and corn fodder, if provided
in proper quantities and under proper con-
ditions, due attention being given to care
of the surroundings, the winter profits
need not be less than those of summer, al
though the expenses be more.

H;nts for Killing Weeds.

First-Plants cannot live indefinitely de-
prived of their leaves. Hence, preventing
their appearance above the surface will kill
them sooner or later.
Second-Plants have greater need for
their leaves, and can be more easily killed
in the growing season than when partially
dormant.
Third-Cultivatio in a dry time Is
most injurious to weeds and beneficial to
crops.
Fourth-Avoid the introduction Of weeds
in manure or litter from weedy surround
ings. Some gardeners use no stable man
ure on grounds they desire to keep espe-
cially clean, relying on commercial fer
tilizers and the blowing under of green
crops.
Fifth-After the summer crop has
ripened, instead Of allowing the land to
grow I'D TO weeds, it is often well to SOW rye
or some other crop to cover the ground and
keep the weeds down.
Sixth Give every part of the farm clean
cultivation every few years with head
crop. or, il necessary. with afallow.
Seyeuth-It is often stated that cutting
weeds while in flower will kill them. This
is only reliable with biennials, ana with
them only when done 50 late that not much
of the seed win grow.
Eighth--If the ground is kept well occu-
MED with other crops weeds will give much
less trouble. Keep, meadows and road
sides well seeded and plowland well cult
waited.

how Many Varieties.

Under this head the Farm Journal of
Philadelphia clearly shows that when some
people contract the chicken fever it goes
head, so to speak. We get letters occasion
ally from persons who are about to start in
the business of breeding fancy fowls, ask
ing how many varieties they had better
keep. Some think that ten would be a good
number.
Those who talk in this way do not
know what they are about, and show their
lack Of fitness to breed any variety prop
erly.
One variety, or at most two, is enough
for any one to breed who has had no expe-
rience in the business. The eye must be
trained to see and understand the points re-
CURED to make valuable bird. Each breed
is study and requires peculiar treatment
in respect to mating and feeding.
When more than one variety is bred on
the premises, the owner is kept in state of
constant anxiety, less by accident they be-
come crossed, and his reputation suffers in
consequence.
1t is difficult to raise enough chicks OF
several varieties to supply the demand for
any one of the number, especially if one
OF them be popular. A large number of
each must be raised to allow for culling
freely, so that there may be no temptation
to sell or breed from birds Of inferior
quality.
There is temptation to crowd the flocks
INTO contracted houses and yards, when sew
eral varieties are bred on a single farm or
plot. Breeding birds need yards of liberal
area in order to produce vitalized eggs and
vigorous chicks, and young stock intended
Tor breading need wide range to attain
their fullest development.
The man or wormen who begins with a
single variety, and gives it close attention,
VIII have more money and better repu-
tatIon at the end of five years than the
person who begins ten or even moro.
II more than one breed is to be kept, have
them bred on separate farms. Several
persons in the same neighborhood on diff
Ierent farms may each make speciality Of
some one breed, and then all unite in ad-
Vertlsing and selling under the management
Oh single individual. This mode Of Co
operation is frequently followed by fan
Gers.
a SINGLE variety Of turkey, chickens,
geese ducks and guineas may all DO kept on
one larm without danger of intermixture.
10 not attempt too much.

CoIorad Farm Labor.

Colored farm laborers at the south, says
the New Orleans Picayune, are evidently
much less reliable and less profitable than
ever before. There is no push, no life or
vim in negro labor-it is a constant drag,
like weak team dragging heavy load up
hill. Negroes take no interest whatever in
their employers work and care but little
whether he succeeds or fails. His object is
to get the best price possible for the least
possible amount of work. He is slow, IN
skillful and wasteful.
The gang system of labor suits the negro
better than any other. On a plantation,
working with a strong force under an
overseer whom they fear, or on steamboat
they often work very well. Working for
a small farmer, who works side by side with
his colored hands or hand, they do pretty
well, but the farmer who leaves them in the
field without a white face in sight will gen.
orally not get more than half a days work
in day, unless it be blowing or job work.
The present generation Of negro farm
laborers in the south has come into the fields
mostly since the war, under the freedom
and school house dispensation. In what re-
spects are they better people or laborerS
than their fathers and mothers who were
slavesl In what respects have they retro
eraded9 Who will answer these questions
truthfullyl
The best and most useful and most polite
negroes in the south are becoming the own
ers Of small farms. These are generally
friendly to white people and we believe that
most of them vote the democratic ticket.
But their number is very small.

Popular Science.

According to the statement of Brazilian
physician flies are most active agents in the
propagation Of yellow fever. Other authori-
ties hold these little insects largely respon-
sible for the spread Of pulmonary consump-
ton and cholera.
The question Of permanent foundation
for large buildings has never been satisfac-
torily settled. An exchange says the latest
experiment tried in Chicago is TO cover
before commencing the footings-the entire
area of the excavation of the building with
a thick stratum of concrete, laid directly
upon the top Of the clay hard-pan. The
depth Of this course is nearly two feet, and
It's object is 20 strengthen the clay that
the settlement may be reduced TO a mini
mum.
A correspondent Of a scientific paper gives
the following method Of self-asphyxiation
as an effectual remedy for insomnia in his
own case: After taking a deep inspira-
ton be holds his breath till discomfort Is
felt then repeats the process a second and a
third time Asa rule this is enough 10 pro
cure sleep A slight degree Of asphyxia is
thus relied on as q soporiic agent.
