Southern Stock and Grass-Growing
 Association.

After forty years study and observa- tion on Southern soils and in Southern climates, the writer suggests to all Southern farmers the wisdom of organ izing large association to promote the most profitable and extensive grass culture and stock-growing in the Southern States. These States contain over six hundred million acres of fair farming land, and generally in eli mates adapted to the easy and cheap production of the best American and European grasses, implying the cheap and easy production of all grass-eating and milk-producing domestic animals. Good pastures and excellent meadows naturally open the way for the most beautiful and profitable stock hus- bandry, dairy husbandry, and sheep husbandry. The best pastures, sum- mer and winter, spring and autumn, are not altogether the free gift of nature. Nor are the best meadows to be had without the aid of labor and skill in that direction. For the associa- tion to be popular and ,nost useful, its

Neither Sex Above Deception.

A sandy-haired young man, with a sandy mustache which bore traces of having been dyed in the not very distant past, wandered into Hudson avenue barber's shop few nights ago, and, after he had been shaved, re- marked to the knight of the shears, Cant you color her up a bit?" ''Color whom up?" asked the barber. ''Why, this,'' said the sandy-haired man, pointing to his upper lip. ''It's this way: when first met my best girl it was at some amateur thcat- ricals in which took part, and I had my mustache dyed. She thought it was the real color, and has admired it so much ever since that whenever I go to call on her 1 have it redyed just to keep up appearances. We are going to be married before long, and then I will let it assume its natural color" Don't you think it is mean to deceive her in this way?" asked the man of tho strop. "Oh, mo-" said the dyed young man, "she has false hair and bleached bangs and won't acknowledge it."- Albany (M. '. Journal.

Alabama College Dairy.

The dairy attachment to the Missis- sippi Agricultural College, under Gen. eral s. D. Lee as president, has proven a most valuable enterprise, and we are glad to note that the Alabama Agri- cultural College proposes to have a similar attachment ready for the fall term. The Eutaw Mirror says: ''The board of trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical College were in session last week and adopted plans submitted by Hon. M. l.. Stansel, of Pickens, one of the trustees, for the establishment of creamery and dairy farm at the Auburn Experiment Station, under the direction of Prof. J. S. Newman. J. w. Ross was elected assistant superintendent, who is practical stock raiser, and will at once travel through the North and Canada ex- amining dairies. This is a most inn portant step for Alabama, and we look upon it as the breaking of a brighter day for the agricultural section of our State. Alabama is half a century be- hind in this important work, and now that the matter has caught the atten- tion of the State Department we hope it will be pushed with all the vigor possible. This should, and we doubt not will, be the means of teaching our farmers not only the great profits to be derived from this business, but also exactly how to derive these profits without the necessity of spending large sums of money and valuable time in experiments.

Sowing Oats in Cotton.

We are inclined to the opinion that
 it would prove more satisfactory to SOW the oats broadcast and blow in with a One-horse cultivator or harrow, as suggested by you. A seed drill that would work in the width of cotton middle would be much more econom- ical of seed, and save the labor of sowing, and we often wished for one when on the farm. We have seen such drills at State fairs. In our own eX- perience we succeeded well in making a crop of oats by opening two small furrows in each cotton row with a forked or double-shovel blow, sowing the seed oats through '.guanO trumpet" and covering by means of one furrow of small scooter with a long heelscrape run in the center of covering the seed nicely. A good drill machine ought to do the work better still. The cotton field is not only the best place for small grain, but it needs the protection against washing, which is afforded by the roots of the wheat, oats or rye. We have had excellent oat crops from seed sown in cotton field about the middle of Oc- tober after most of the cotton had opened. The sowing and plowingin can then be done with but trifiing loss of cotton from threshing out if the blows follow immediately behind the F'drmer.

members should not be asked to pay over one dollar year, and should re- ceive dollars worth of the best grass seeds or of grass cuttings, such as may be obtained from Texas blue grass, Bermuda, poa compressa, and g. few others. When the war between the States began the writer had sixty species of European grasses under trial whose seeds were got in London. There are at least twenty species of grass cultivated in England which should form part of our permanent pastures and meadows.
 We already have the largest and smallest breeding horses of western Europe; the largest and smallest dairy COWS and beef cattle; the largest and smallest, whether for wool or mutton, of their many varieties of sheep. But we are far from having in general cultivation all of their best herbage plants for the economical feeding of these important animals. The asso- citation named in this article could and would do the needful in the way of in- troducing grasses new to our soils and climates. While we neglect the most valuable grasses of the European white man (our brother), imported and in- digenous weeds take our farms, starve our cattle, pay no taxes for the use of the land, rain and sunshine. Brother farmers, let us band together and march in solid phalanx out of this sad environment.-Da Lee, iaa Dirie Farmer.

How 10 Overcome the Dangers of
 Exposure.

Francis O'Reilly, the well l-known livery man of No. IS Prince street, New York, says of ALLCoCK's POROUS PLAsTERs:
 "For the last forty-two years have been engaged in the livery and hacking busi- ness 1 am greatly aided by my four boys. We are much exposed to the weather, and we have found ALLCoCK's PLAsTERs of very great service. We use them as chest protectors, placing one on the chest and one on the pit of the stomach. They not only ward off the cold, but act as tonic.
 We are frequently affected with rheuma- tism, kinks in the back, and pains in the side; but one or two of ALLCoCK's PLAs- TIERS quickly cure us. My wife and daugh- ter have been using ALLcoCK's PLAsTERs for weak back and think the world of them. l have now been using them for twenty years, and always have box in the house. 7"

A poor tool on the farm imposes a tax upon the user every day it is em- ployed, often greater in year than the whole price of good tool.
 Geese may be picked every ten weeks. Old geese should be kept for breeding, and the surplus goslings marketed as soon as they are large enough.
 The melon crop in Georgia has been greater than the facilities for transporting to markets on which &C., count many melons have perished on the fields.
 The feeding of sulphur to animals and poultry may be excellent at times, but it should never be given in damp weather. If given in excess it causes leg weakness in poultry and also in- jures larger stock.
 One sheep for each COW can be kept without additional expense, as the sheep will consume much that the cows will refuse. Sheep readily eat young weeds and other tender herbage.

 places should be supplied by younger ones. Pen them in the fall and get them fat by giving them all the hay and grain they will eat, with plenty of turnips, and they will be in excellent condition for market in a short time.

 Cut off the twig or limb of the pear tree as soon as the slightest indication of blight appears, or the disease will gradually extend until the whole tree is infected and the tree doomed. It is claimed thSt swabbing the trunk of the tree with linseed oil is an excellent pre- ventive of blight.
 Where old rawberry fields seem to be dying out mow off the tops of the old plants and scatter woodashes free ly over the bed. If fertilizers be used liberally and the old bed is burned over after frost comes new bed may be secured without the necessity of setting out young plants.
 Two cows iii Georgia are reported to have lost their tails by the operations of worms. The worm in each case eats its way around the tail about foot from the body.

 IT is easy to form the habit of meddle- someness and to persuade one's self into the belief that one's mission is to be "private investigator and public advisor" that one is apt to forget that in the regulation of one's own conduct life presents enough perplex- ing problems without trespassing upon the rights of others in mistaken zeal to con- vert them to better way.
