Tobasco Pepper Sauce.

sold in our shops, nearly all o
which is bottled at the North
where the red pepper plant is an ex
otto, the following paragraph APP
peared in a late number of the
Times-Democrat:
| With the exception of the we'll
known extract of pepper, popular

per is bottled for commercial pur-
poses either in New Orleans OF
louisiana. 1t seems, however, that
Mr., E McIlhenny, of New Iberia,
La, is largely engaged in the man
ufacture of the extract of Tabasco
pepper, sample of which has been
received in good order, and is very
creditable to the manufacturer.
In connection with this subject
| and others of like character the
thought is suggested that our
Southern people are prone to des-
pise such small thlngs as the manu-
facture of pepper sauces or vinegar
which is done with so much profit
elsewhere. And it is the same with
many other articles we might men
ton. These smaller industries are
often the most profitable.
PEA-vINE HAY.
Bill Arp, in letter to the Coun-
try Gentleman, says:
Peas are better than clover or
grass or any thing: better for land
and better as o profitable crop /
have sunbounded respect for peas.
| SOW about five acres every year
for forage, and they make the oest
forage 10 the world the best for
horses and mules, and the best for
mich COWS. AL kind of stock eat
1T greedily.
| have seen old farmers pail
pea vines mp by the roots and hang
ing taem on.the fence to cure. The
common idea is that pea vine hay
is hard TO harvest and hard to cure.
This is great mistake Sow them
with drill or broadcast-say two
bushels to the acre; when the pods
are nearly grown, aud the peas are
in the dough, walk right into them
with a good scythe blade and cut
an acre q dayAany good mower can
do it easily, for it is the sweetest
cutting in the world. Let them
lie as they fall for twenty-four
hours; rake into winrows, and tet
them alone for two days more If
it rains on them, just let it rain
when the sun shines again toss
them up and give them air, and
they will cure. l have had them
TO take several rains and lie on the
ground for a week, and cure alright,
plenty of air is all they want.
Put them IN the barn and watch
them for day or so to see if they
are, holding or getting hot: if they
are then toss them to the other
side of the barn, and the tossing
and airing will bring it all right.
| have never lost pea vine crop.
But be sure and cut before the pods
get ripe or You will lose the leaves.
Cut green and not leaf will drop,
end the vines will cure so much
easier.
HOW OFTEN To MILK cow.
The question is asked: "How
many times should q cow be MIXED
daily? and what would be the eff
feet of more or less frequent
milking upon the quality and guam
i.y of the milk?" AS rule with
ordinary cows, twice milking suf-
fees and is as often as it can be
probably done in conjunction with
other farm work. But there are
extraordinary cows that ought to
be MIXED three times day--once
every eight hours. This would not
only be profitable, but would great
ly add TO the cows comfort. It
woa aid also stimulate nature to q
increased flow of milk to meet the
extra demand. There would, there
fore. be greater quantity Of milk.
The quality would also be improved
or, rather, the milk would not be
so much impoverished by the alb
sorption of the fats after it is Sc
GREETED. Repeated experiment is
show that the longer the interval
between the milking the poorer the
milk. i MIXED as fast as Sc creted
there is reason to believe That it
would all be stripping.-U S. Dairy

! CARE OF THE COW.
Ii you want q cow to do her best,
give her chance by giving her
just as good quartrrs and just as
good care as Hour favorite horse.
When cold rain comes you put him
into his stall. If chilly night
comes he gets his feed in the barn,
but poor Bos must chew her cud IN
discomfort, and you complain that
she shrinks in milk. Apply the
remedy and see the difference.
When the pores of the skin be
come clogged the milk takes a
convey odor and taste. This is be
cause the impurities of the body are
misdirected into the milk. The
farmer who would curry his hor Sc
every day will seldom touch his
cows with q brush, This is par
