Buffalo Gnats---How to Kill.

The Southern Livestock Journal has an instructive letter from a Louisiana planter co. A. Frierson, Frierson's S Mill, La.), telling how to destroy buffalo gnats and save mules and horses at work in the field or else- where. In the spring of 1885 the gnats were first very troublesome on this plantation. when fifteen mules were lost in one week. The mules had all the symptoms of collie, and were treated accordingly. Mir. Frier- son says: We afterwards learned that they all died from the effects of the poisonous bite of the gnat, and could have been saved but for our ignorance of the fact that train oil applied with feather or a small mop is an abso- lute specific. Since then we buy this fish oil by the barrel, and furnish every plowman with small tin can of convenient form, which is taken to the field to be applied when needed"
 Fish oil is very pungent, and very likely will kill the ..wolf'' in cows back, and perhaps drive a botgrub out of a horses stomach.
 The writer happens to know, from long experience, that tanners oil is an excellent remedy for lice on pigs, calves, colts and other stock, and he suggests that this oil may be first class remedy for hog cholera and plague, taken with wood ashes, salt and sHlpher. As farmers we need something that will kill the germ of every form of swine plague. Sixty and seventy years ago man and his pig rarely had a kidney disease or plague. These parasites have come to stay like the Colorado potato bug and the cur. culfo on peach and plum, We should not be disheartened. but learn to CO., operate to distroy our enemies when they are most vulnerable. Watch the enemy and strike him when practica- bic. We need more knowledge of living parasites, their ways habits and meth. ods of propagation. It may pay every farmer to keep few gallons of oil to fight insects with.-D. Lee, in Dixie Farmer.

Room for Reform.

Farming at the South is done at great expenditure of physical force and consequent unnecessary outlay of money. Some yeaps since we planted cotton in the use of one mulo and one man to open furrow, one man to scatter the seed followed by one mule, and one man to cover. Now we use one mule and one man. with a ma chine, and do the work much moro cheaply and much more etTectually.
 Into every departm of farm work this same principle of economy should enter. Upon comparison of methods. it is easy to be seen that the States 1t tho South are very far behind those of the North and West in economy of time and labor. and. thero- fore, in the economy of production. In these States we find the constant study to be the saving of labor at every point. The management and handling of every crop is had through machines, that not only accomplish more in a given time. but do the work more effectually and. therefore, more satis- tactorily.
 The loss from producing cotton is not so much from the low price in the market as from the cost of production. The work necessary to be done has heretofore been so much manual that farmers haye been forced to employ q large force of help. that is to be main- taincd during work and oftontimcs car ried over idle seasons in order to be on hand when needed.
 The demands in tho construction of machines for chopping and picking cotton should be studied and mechan- ieaL eontrivances continually applied until suitable machines are perfected to accomplish successfully the work.
 Corn shelters arc far better than a rough-edged rock and corn husll CTS are much more convenient than wear ing out the fingers at the slow process of pulling the shuchs in an all day work that could be finished by mi- chine in an hour.
 Keepers and mowers and horse ralles are always under the barn when called for, and the teams stand ready in the stalls to draw them; the landlord is convenient to drive them. Those contrivances all give the farmer an immense advantage in con trolling labor to his own interests. The larger part of his work he can do- himself and become independent of trifing idlers who abandon the fields at the slightest censure or the mildest rebuke.
 The use of machines is but the practical embodiment of convenience. The matter ot convenience. involving

HOW TO KEEP APPLES.
If stored in tho Cellar Constant Yentiia.
 ton Should Be Provided.

ton sHoufd Be Efoftded.
 Of the many plans in use by diff ferent parsons, one IS to store the fruit temporarily in bins in barn or other building until the advent of freezing weather, Another is to, keep them in narrow cribs in the orchard Of the two the latter is the best, if the crib is made in the shade and is further pro- tected from rain and sun by loose boards. The only advantage that can be claimed for keeping them in bulk for few weeks is a saving In cooper age, as the apples that will inevitably rot or prove defective in the interim need not be barreled. It is, however. liable to the objection of much more handling than when barreled in the orchard at the picking, and further more it is thought u full exposure to the atmosphere is not the best condi- tion to resist decay.
 As commonly arranged, cellar is the last place in which apples should be stored until it becomes necessary to prevent them from freezing, and quite often wet cellar will prove better than a dry one. There is prob ably nc better way of keeping apples jn barrels during the varying temper ature of autumn and early winter than it. store-room on the ground floor of building having thick walls. At each end of the room there should he door and windows by which such circulation of air can be maintained as the general temperature may re- qulre. Such a place will afford as good conditions for the preservation of fruit by natural means as can be obtained, and in many sections can be safely used through the entire winter.
 The trouble with cellars arises 1ainly from defective ventilation.

"A Philadelphia newspaper says Shat the prevailing impression that the ''old-time, broad brimmed, sugar scoop Quakers' are dying out is err roneous, at least as far as Philadelphia is concerned. Twenty-Five years ago the same impression prevailed, but to- day the benches in the meeting houses are as full as then. The ex- planation is that after coquetting with worldly ways aud fashions for sea- son the young generation of Friends undergo reaction and gradually fall Into the same ways and the same austere life, even to the plain garb Of their grandfather5 and grandmothers

OIL LiGHTENS LABOR.
Views of a Farmer Who Saves Work by

Views of R Farmer Who Saves Work by
 the Liberal Use of Lubricants.
 l have not used linseea oil, but have used crude petroleum and think it pays well. have just finished oil ing not only the rims, but the entire woodwork of a two-horse farm- wagon. It is astonishing how much oil the rims will absorb in a hot. dry time As fast as the brush is drawn over the surface the oil disappears, and when n piece Of sappy wood is met with 1t takes up oil like sponge. l think linseed oil better than petro- leum, but the expense + too great to use 1t as freely as it ouc ht to be used. It is no use advising fa tmer5 to pay oil and soak the wood-@ork of their wagons and implements with it; when they see the o l gong Ito the wood so rapidly they will sta4 their hands and say: 'Behold, :hat is quite enough, long before the wood is filled. You can't do frst-class job when you a@e all the time trying to save the materials; if you are re- pairing fence and put in one nail where two are needed, or try to make one rail serve for two. one load of manure instead of three, or pint of oil where two quarts are required. Ii farmer buy barrel of crude petroleum and use 1t freely on his im- plements he will save its cost every year-provided he is what is called an average" farmer. whose tool-shed is co-eXtensive with his farm.
 Crude petrolcum is easily applied, and is cheap; mine cost S4 cents per gallon-and it will penetrate wood deeper than the heavier linseed oil; it's uses on the farm are almost num- berless. It can be used in the hem house 10 kill lice; on pigs and other animals for the same purposes; on dogs to kIll ileas; on blow mold-bards to keep them from rusting; on gate hinges to prevent wear and squeak ing; on roofs to prevent decay; on siding to precede and save paint, asnd on any kind of exposed wood It is always ready for use, and it's cheapness will cause it to be used where d more expensive oil or a paint would not be. l believe if the rims of wagon wheels are kept filled with crude petroleum they will never de- cay, and the tires will not need set ting nearly so often.

A Celebrated Fighting Pig.

In little hostelry at Jenkintown. whose walls are bedecked with queer, old-fashioned sporting" pictures, there is ono illustration that will re- call to old patrons of all sorts of diversions a curious feature of by gone days when many things "went' that wouldn't sgo' now. It is fair ly spirited sketch of the famous fight ing hog Patsey, or some such name. There was not much fat on Patsey, but he had quick legs and ugly teeth. and his owners would fight him against any dog in the country at one hundred dollars. No dog ever got Patsey by the ear, and held on any great length of time, and the pig had a long .record' of dogs killed in the ring: all kinds of eanines they were. too. Patsey, so far as the sporting ihn-keeper at Jenkintown can tell, is the only hog with this kind of talen. that eyer lived. Philadelphia Pres2

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Things to Ponder.

Judge John W. Brown, of Upson County, Ga, recently addressed the Farmers Academy Alliance. in which he gave them the following advice:
 "Ihere are things being done in our midst that are wrong. and the men who do this wrong are religiouslv and morally as good men as we have They certainly do not think they are doing wrong By the force of custom or common consent they are drifting along Tn their department, controled by the i one idea of making money, without stopping to consider whether they are dolng right or wrong so the cus- tom Of trade sanctions what they do. A wagon that cost them S51, they sell 10 poor man for S75, take mortgage on the same and a mule to secure the payment. Twenty-four dollars profit on an investment of $51. EXtortion is said to be a great wrong. II this is not extortion I would like to see the word defined. And as if to make the wrong worse, they will sell the same wagon to man who is always prompt in payment for S10 less, thus making light the burdens of him who Is going easily along, and adding to the same of him who is already stag gerlng under his load. If the first come up and pay as the last, nothing IS given him back. 1 want to beg the merchants of our town who are so clever and kind socially, to stop and look at this from the stand point of right and justice. We take it for granted that the wagon is no cx- ception, but answers for rule that runs through the whole business. It is wrong to sell to the landlord cheaper than to his tenant and it is wrong for the landlord to be party to such a transaction.
 "How much sunshine would T10 bring around many a Toor mans hearthstone on Christmas morning if one good Christian hereabout even thought of the struggle that thousands of poor farmers make to meet their obliga- tions due October and November next. Their children-girls as we'll as boys and oftentimes the wife and mother herself, toiling in the dews of morning and hot sun of evening, bringing on disease and premature death by cx- posture, doing all in their power to help the father aud husband pay the debt he owes, stinted in food and clothing, while the members of his (the mer- chants) household can indulge every luxury and grow tired for want of something 10 do.
 ''I hope the Alliance will soon be able to arrange 50 that they can buy at the same price. l expect great benefit on this line from our exchange. It will be Il grand pricing department, by which we will be able to know the price Of every article we want to pur- chase where it is made. Then if our merchants can sell to Us at the same prices We will buy from them. Other- wise We can buy through tho ex- change. And through that depart ment We hope some time in the future to price some things we have to sell. Southern Cultivator.

economy as it does is not necessarily a matter of machines solely. The women on farm wear themselves out and accomplish but little that is profit able, for the lack of convenience of arrangement During the course of the year the farmer loses months in an unnecessary waste of time for lack of convenience in his business arrange ments. Let Us abandon so much hard work by substituting machines and convenient systematic arrangement. - W. J. Northcn, in Dixie Farmer.
