ST. LOUIS, June :.-This gay, hospita-
ble and overgrown town is beside itself
with joy and Importance. There was
only small crowd expected, but every
thing is overfowed. Every face in ST.
Louis beams with joy, and each viitor is
impressed with the idea that he has con-
ferred a personal favor upon the
town by spending those few days
here. The citizens committee
is tireless in it's efforts to
please, amuse and entertain, and will
send every delegate home convinced that
what St. Louis may lack in enterprise
and energy it more than atones for in
warn,-hearted hospitality. The good
feeling everywhere is prophetic.

there can be no mistake of the position
of the party in these matters. He
does not think it wise or judi
cious to indc:se by name the Mills
bill. Being asked if a failure to in
dorse the Mills bill might not give some
weakened Democrat good excuse not
to vote for that measure, the senator re-
piled that he was confident no Democrat
in congress would have a half reason for
doing any sucn thing.

What Southern Farmers Must Do.
The New Orleans Pcdytne says they
must go into mixed farming. The expert
ence of southern farmers proves clearly
that they cannot live and thrive on cotton
alone, nor on vegetables and fruits. Diver
sifed farming is their chief hope and their
last ditch in their struggles to make an hon
est living and pay honest debts.
The food supply for the farm is of the ut
most Importance to the farmer, and when
plenty is made for table use and for
domestic animals the balance of family and
farm expenses should be light. We once
heard farmer say in the north that he
could run his farm and pay family and
farm expenses twelve months without
handling more than $50 in cash; that he
could pay his entire store account in produce
of the farm, and as be and his family did
their own work he had nothing of any con-
sequence to pay for in cash except taxes and
doctors bills, and what he could spare for
the preacher and charitable purposes.
Farmers clothing in this warm climate
costs hut little. All goods at cash prices
are cheap. Farmers must stop buying goods
that they do not need merely to CRAFTY
fancy or pride. Close economy and indus
try should be the order of every day on the
farm, taking the usual rest an Sunday
Every farmer should have a good garden
and good orchard and cows, chickens and
|pigs and fat hogs to kill in December and a
Surplus to sell. If he tries truck farming
1t should be on a moderate and safe scale
and should not interfere with his bread and
meat farming. Farmers must be more in
tense in the study and practice of agricul-
\ ture; they must study the soil and fertili-
zers and rotation of crops, and stock rails
ting. They should all try TO be model farm
) ers and to run gilt edge farms, of which
4 tney and their families may justly be
proud; and peace, contentment and plenty
&thould always be found on such farms On
Hal such farms cotton, vegetables and fruits
zthould occupy back seats, and bread and
neat should come to the front.

Dogs On the Farm

Occasionally says the Field, Farm and
Stockmdn, we may find dog that is valu-
able to the owner, but nine out of ten dogs
cause more trouble and damage than they
are worth. And especially on farms where
more or less stock is kept. There are but
few dogs that can be trusted to drive stock
In majority or cases if you attempt to
drive hogs. cattle, sheep or horses with the
dog such as is usually kept upon the farm
more damage will be caused and more ex-
ira trouble occasioned than the dogs are
worth. How many times have you seen a
farmer set his dog on stock to drive them
out of place where they are not wanted,
and then and there be obliged to take dou-
BILE the trouble it would have been to have
driven them out without the dog and espe-
cially in calling him off, leaving out entirely
the damage done to the stock. No stock,
whether kept for breeding or to fatten, can
be worried without more or less loss. Cows
that are driven home by dog that barks
at their heads and then at their heels, run
them over the pasture, heating them up and
working them into a high state Of excite
meut, will nearly always show the effect of
this treatment by giving less quantity of
milk. Fattening cattle or hogs lose flesh
and breeding stock abort simply because a
dog is allowed to worry them unnecessa-
rily.

Popular Science.

1t is stated that vessels built of African
teak wood have lasted 100 years, to be then
broken up because of faulty models. Its
weight is from forty-two to fifty-two
pounds per cubic foot; it works easily, but
wears the tools rapidly on account IF the
quantity of slick in it. 1t also contains an
oil which prevents the iron in contact with
it from rusting.
Among the late English inventions of
interest is one by G. Bi,choR of London,
called process and apparatus for puri-
flying water. According to tina inven-
tor, water is purified by mixing with it
iron in state of fine division, allowing
subsistence of part of the iron and effecting
precipitation of further quantity of the
iron by aerating the liquied
The interlnfection Of diptheria between
man and various lower animals, from
pigeons and fowls to cats, horses and sheep,
has been pretty well established by DR..
George Turner, who reports the results of
his investigations to the British Local
Government Board. He found that the
''gapesn in chickens was frequently com
plicated with diphtheretic membraneous
growth.

When to Stop Churning.

The Farmers Home Journal tells us that
the makers of choice butter consider it of
much importance to stop the churn at the
critical period where the grains of butter
have attained the size of pin-heads or mus
tard seeds, when the addition of little
cold water or weak brine is made, and after
a very slight agitation the buttermilk is
drawn off and the butter granules thor
oughly washed in cool water or weak brine,
which hastens the separation of the milk.
When the water runs clear from the churn,
brine-as strong as can be made from the
purest SALTS poured over the butter at
temperature Of about co. and it is left to
stand, with only an occasional stirring, for
several hours, that each little granule may
accumulate about it thin film Of the alt.
1t is then drained as dry as possible, saving
the brine for use again, and may be pressed
firmly into the customary mould without
much of the usual working, which in reck-
less hands spoils so much butter by breaking
the grains and making it greasy, shiny
mass instead of glistening and dewy. II
preferred, it may be packed in jars in the
granular state, in brine, until wanted for
use, when it is moulded like fresh butter and
will be likely to be as good.

Farm Life,

A writer in Scribners Magazine says
that it is a common remark that farm life
is not appreciated by our people. We long
for the mcre elegant pursuits or the ways
and fashions of the town. But the farmer
has the most safe and natural occupation,
and ought to find life sweeter, if less highly
seasoned, than any other. He alone, strictly
speaking, has home. How can a man take
root and thrive without land9 He writes
his history upon his fields. How many ties,
how many resources; has his friendship
with his cattle, his team, his dog, his trees,
the satisfaction in his growing crops, in his
improved fields, his intimacy with nature,
with bird and beast and with the quickening
elemental forces; his cooperation with the
clouds, the sun, the season, heat. wind, rain,
frost Nothing will take the various social
distempers, which the city and artificial life
breed, out of man like farming, like di-
rect and loving contact with the soil. 1t
draws out the poison. 1t humbles him;
teaches him patience and reverence,
verence, and restores the proper tone to his
system Cling to the farm; make much of
it, SO that it shall SAVIOR of you and radiate
your virtues after your days work is done.

The Young Colt.

According to the New York Spirit Of the
Times much of the annoyance which many
find in working the mother of the young
colt can be easily anticipated by little
forethought and the exercise OF little nat
ural tact. After it is weeks old, the colt
is as capable of living on three meals day
as is the calf, and it should be shut up in a
yard or pasture, away from the mother
while she is at work. Care must, of
course, be exercised on the start. Leaving
the colt in a small lot with older colts or
horses will relieve the anxiety that is first
felt when left alone. II the mother is to
be worked regularly, it is advisable to teach
the colt to eat little bran and oats as soon
as possible, and by increasing this grain ra-
ton it will be ready for weaving earlier,
and the weaving process will be more grad
ual and in every way more agreeable. Ii
the colt is battered and handled every day
till months old, and haltered and led regu-
larly at least once a week after this, it will
be much better for it in every way.
A little care as to the temperature of the
mothers blood when the colt takes It's milk
is also important. The colt should not be
let to her when she is overheated and sweat
ing.

Stable Management.

Pure air is as essential to tho blood as
sound food is to the substance of the body.
Consumed air is not vitiated air, the vol
ume of oxygen is reduced, carbonic acid Is
in excess. The stable is full of organic in
iuries given by the skin and the lungs Ven
tilation is found in all well-regulated sta
bles, and draughts are unknown or ought TO
be.
Good grooming is demanded under stable
management and in fast work. The brush,
ms rule. should follow the direction of the
hair, except when dirt and sweat are caked
on to the coat, then you require to go
against the lie Of the coat-the set of the

gives a gloss and develops physical force.
Horses fed largely on other foods demand
less hay, but hay is useful in distending the
stomach and thus assisting digestion. From

The Farm, Field and StOckmdn strenu-
ously advocates the breeding and keeping OF
guineas. They are the most watchtul of birds,
and give loud warning of the first pp>ar-
aaCe of hawks or other danger The eggs
and the flesh of the fowls are quite equal TO
those of ordinary barnyard fowls. Sixteen
eggs are the right number for clutch.
Guineas are great layers. In appearance
they are like the peacock better to look at
tnan to be heard
The most successful swine-breeders never
let the pigs stop growing until they are ready
for market. Whenever pigs como to stand
still, then all the food given them is SO
much lost, as there is nothing to show for
it, A good, thrifty pig may be made to
gain pound day until he is 10 months
old, when he is of the right age and weight
to sell, and should show a good profit for
the food consumed.
One advantage in keeping the soil loose is
that when a shower comes no matter how
hard, the water does not run off, but goes
down into the soil, whereas Iif the surface
of the soil be hard some of the water will
run Off during heavy shower. Hence cul-
tivatlon not only protects the plants during
a dry season but enables the soil to alb
serb a larger proportion of water when rain
falls
According to Prof Sargent, the strongest
wood in the United States is that of the
nutmeg hickory of the Arkansas region and
the weakest the West Indian birch. The
most elastic is the tamarack, the white or
shellhark hickory standing far below it.
The least elastic, and the lowest in specific
gravity, is the wood of the Ficus Ourea.
The highest specific gravity upon which in
general depends value as fuel, is attained by
the bluewoOd of Texas.
Feed should never be kept constantly be-
fore the hens for two reasons: it is wasteful
and Improbable 1t is wasteful for the
reason that as long as they have plentiful
supply before them they will give them
selves little trouble in seeking for food else
where Ii is extravagant because they will
not only eat more than they require for
healthy digestion, but will scratch and
waste large portion. These objections are
small matters, however, compared with the
injury occasioned by overlooking, which
causes them to become excessively fat, when
they will lay but few eggs.

The Rural Messenger says that the great
need of the southern states is grass-more
pasturage--less land under plow and more
nnder grass. Clover, timothy, herds
grass and orchard grass are the great reli-
ables in some sections, and where any of
these succeed we'll they should be grown.
And there is hardly farm where there is
not a spot or piece of land that is suitable
for some of these. For meadows and low
ground, herds grass or timothy; for the
hillsides adjoining, orchard grass; and
clover for the rich level plots of rather
savey soil near the barnyard or stables.
But there is no necessity whatever that
our people confine themselves to tame or
cultivate grasses for pasturage. There are
numerous native grasses for pasturage.
There are numerous native grasses in all
this region that are admirably adapted for
pasturage. All that is required is to cut
away the timber from the hillsides and
low ground along the numerous little water
courses, and very soon a host of native
grasses will put up and cover the ground
with a carpet of green that would charm
the eye of an experienced graMer. One
NAV count from thirty to fifty different
sorts of grass springing up wild in places
where timber has been removed from the
branch sides, and the grass given a chance 10
grow. Some of these are as nutritious as
any grasses we have.
II only remains, then, for the farmer to
open up some of the waste ground Of the
farm that has been lying idle and almost
worthless so long, and let in the light and
the sun, to have about all the pasturage he
would desire Clear up the rubbish and
small growth; leave few trees for summer
shade; open some of the natural
springs, that the stock may get water
readily, and put on cattle and hogs to
browse upon the herbage and grasses and
keep them low. The closer they are
crazed the better the meadows will be-
come. But if the meadows are small, there
should be more than one division, and cat
tie should be exchanged from one to the
other every ten days or two weeks. Ten
DAYS for a COW, forty-eight hours for
sheep is the old rule for turning stock on pas
ture. We can have pasturage in plenty if
we will. Our own wild grasses are good
and cost nothing. Half of every farm should
be in permanent pasture. More pasture,
less pillow.
