Mrs. Willie B. Dix, OF Pine Grove,

portion OF Southeastern Alabama,
writes as follows; We have river and
creek bottoms that are covered with
cane that id the fall and wIntef Affords
splendid pasture fdp hiileh COWS. We
have a stock law iii our country that
renders it necessary to keep our stock
under fence during crop time; but aftet
the crops are gathered by common
Consent all stock is turned out, and
when you are feeding cows at heavy
expense, our cows revel in corn,
pea and cotton fields, and get fat.
Cotton seed can be bought for twelve
and half cents per bushels Our time
for butter-making Is from October to
warm weather, during which time-or
from October to March-no rough
food need to be fed to COWS. We have
no creameries. The Montgomery 4
Eufaule Railroad runs through this
section, five miles from this point.
Our people would have to be brought
to appreciate the cooperative system.

HERE AND THERE.


Griffin, Ca, is the center of fine
fruit-growing country, and has some
of the largest peach orchards and most
noted vineyards in the State.
in dressing fowls for market you
can make them look nice and plump
by plunging them, as soon as picked,
into hot water and then into very cold
water.
Mrs. G. A. Bryan, OF Tallahassee,
Fla, has been making some excellent

-Newly-planted asparagus beds and
spinach should receive in late fall a
protective covering of leaves or straw,
but it is best to postpone this operation
until cold weather actually sets in.
The city of Louisville, Ky, has

1t is for park for future generations.
One of the worst mistakes in
growing small fruits is in raising thai
of poor quality. The demand for
the best is never fully supplied. But
very often the market is overs.ocked
with the poorer qualities.
"A New York girl keeps hummine
birds for pets. They flutter about hei

Kind Treatment Of Fowls.

Those who have never tried it would
scarcely believe how ''teachable" a
fowl may become. On many farms the
chickens are literally left to them
selves, and are almost as wild as the
birds OF the air When one Is wanted
for meal nothing but dog can catch
it, and by the time it is caught the re-
mainder are scattered and hid among
the weeds and under buildings, SO
frightened that they scarcely show
themselves again for that day. The
hens steal their nests away and hatch
as best they can, while many an egg is
never found.
/ once called at place to see the
quality Of flne-bred fowls and the dog
seemed to have more privileges than a
member of the family. suppose the
people had been in the habit Of having
it catch chicken when one was want
ed to eat, for as soon as we started
out the DOC was ahead, and as soon as
we came IN. sight Of chicxe n it started
after it; rs soon as one would fly out
Of roach It would start after another,
and / did not get within one hundred
feet Of a chicken. Frightening fowls
in such a way does injury in many
ways. Sometimes an egg will be bro
ken before laying time and the hen be
ruined.

Keeping sweet Potatoes.


We are inclined that it is better to
keep a potato at so low temperature
through the winter and spring that
there will be no starting of sprouts
before planting, and let the growth Of
sprouts be wholly underground pro-
duction. 1t is pretty fine piece of
work to handle potato with sprouts
upon it, and get it covered without in
jury to these little bud-sprouts. If
injured it must die back to
the potato and then there is a
growth of often four sprouts from
this eye, instead of one strong
one, and we get bunch of stalks
where we only want one strong one.
Where potatoes are machine-planted,
as they now are by the thousands OF
acres, a sprouted potato is out of the
question, and there is no reason why
we should, except in small way,
hand-plant our corn, or broadcast our
wheat. Mr.. T. Terry. in the Ohio
Farmer, gives this experience with
sprouted seed: / planted one row
through the field with home seed that
had sprouted some, breaking off the
sprouts, of course. The Northern seed
had not sprouted at all when it arrived
here, so it went into the ground in per-
feet condition. Well, the sprouted
seed made growth Of vines as good as
the rest of the field. l got just one
bushel less from the row, however,
than from other rows where imported
seed was used. There were about
twice as many tubers to the bushel
from sprouted ed.-NationGI Stock
