Sailing Stock.

With some kinds of stock especially,
too much salt will often prove very i'm
furious; and when the salt is only given
occasionally it will often occur that the
animals, being very hungry for salt, will
eat more than is best. On the other
hand, as rule, if supply of salt is kept
convenient, tho stock will eat what they
want and no more. They are not likely
to damage themselves, under ordinary
conditions, If boxes are provided, and
arc kept filed, so that the stock can
help themselves to what they want to
eat. 1t is not the quantity they eat, in
given length Of time, but rather tho
large quantity that they will eat at once,
when they have been deprived of it,
that proves more or less injurious.
There is no class of stock kept upon
the farm but that will be benefited by
having access to good supply of salt,
and some arrangement should be made
so that this can be done. During the
season that stock are in the pasture,
boxes or troughs may be placed in con-
Venient places, whore the stock can 90
and help themselves.
The advantage in using rock salt is
that if placed in boxes or troughs with
out shelter there is but little il any
waste, either by throwing out of the
boxes or troughs in eating, or by being
washed out by hard rains. A box placed
in the center of the hog-pen and kept
supplied with salt and ashes will aid
materially in keeping the hogs in good
health and thrift. Sheep, cattle and
horses need supply all the time; and
if it is placed where they can secure
supply readily, they will be found eat
ing small quantity every day.
AS rule, with the exception of hogs
and poultry, the better plan is to give
the salt by itself. With poultry, usually
the better plan is to season the food

experience, I would advise tho use of a
land-level, first seeing that the rows
have sufficient fall to conduct water un-
aided without breaking at any point.
Lay the terrace off in a manner to takS
the water in nearly an opposite direc-
tion to that which the rows do, giving
just sufficient slant to prevent washing
or stagnation. The number of terraces
to the cut depends upon the size of the
cut and the degree of slope of the land.
Ditching, when done thoroughly and
in accordance with practical engineer
ing, is, to inundating land, of equal
value and of more lasting benefit than
fertilization, inasmuch as it is natural
fertilization and protection. Not infre-
quently is ditching found beneficial to
land not subject to overhowing, viz: un-
derground drainage to marshy bank
lands, damp, slaky, salty land, and to
stagnant, sagy, swampy land. They can
be easily redeemed by series of capa-
BILE bitches, we'll kept, supplemented by
judicial and proper fertilization.
Leveeing, under certain conditions,
and as a protection to low lands, is a
very great and practically only shield
to land liable to occasional or annual
overfiows. A very large territory in
Lower Louisiana is made cultivatable
and safe by virtue of system Of strong
levees.-T. D. Foster, in Dixie Farmer.

HERE AND THERE.

Cows soon to calve should have a
cool, laxative diet and not be overfed.
If they are good mixers and are highly
fed up to the time of calving there is
danger of milk fever.
An English court once decided that
e lamb became sheep as soon as it ac.
quired its first pair of permanent teeth.
If that is sound doctrine tho lamb be-
comes a sheep when it is about year
old.
1t is fact that large grass hogs
shown at the fairs are losing their at
fractions for the intelligent growers and
feeders. More attention centers upon
the neat, smooth hog of moderate weight,
quickly grown.
The fall pigs or stockers to be win
tered which have the run of the sod or
pasture fields get supply of grass in
open weather that conduces much to
their health. When every thing is
locked up with cold some other provis-
ion must be made.
Young ewes may be poor mothers.
1t is better, therefore, to have them
drop their lambs little later than the
older ewes do. The flockmaster will
have more time to give them attention,
and the weather will be warmer. April
or May is time enough for a young eve
to drop her lamb.
All materials added to the manure
heap should be fine. The object of the
heapis to have tho material undergo a
chemical process through decomposition,
and the result to be obtained depends on
the degree of decomposition. Unless re-
duced in the heap the material is not
converted into manure.
As soon as the coupling season is
over the breeding ewes should be sepa-
rated from the flock and fed on nourish-
ing food. They should not be made too
fat, for fear of milk fever at lambing
time, but they require good feeding il
they are to produce strong lambs. Plenty
of hay with mess of ground oats once
a day should keep them in good COndi-
tion.
AN English dairy writer says: Dairy
work has made such gigantic strides
forward within the last ten years, and
there has been so many wonderful dis.
coveries and inventions in this depart
ment, that we may not now be surprised
at any thing, but may yet eclipse Edi-
son and his electric marvels before many
years.
The official returns published by the
French University of Agriculture show
that the production and consumption OF
milk amount every year to 1850, 600
gallons, which is three times in excess
of the production of wine, and the de.
partments which produce the most milk
are those which produce the least wine.
In feeding animals, especially pigs,
mistakes may be easily made in the
choice of food, and such food as will not
preserve the healthful balance may be
used in the effort to force rapid ad'
vance in the fattening process. Corn is
often used to too great an excess for
general feeding. Consequently there is
a genera ly-defective constitution where
such syhtem prevails. Hog cholers l
often proof Of bad feeding.

Two happy couples were married in
the presence Of 10000 people at the Pied
mont Exposition, at Atlanta, Ga.
Both couples were rugged out in
full suits Of cotton manufacture. The
gentlemen were i'll at ease, and neither
had the fashionable cut in their gar
ments; but the brides were gotten up
without regard to expense. The dress
of one was cut en- train, with v neck
front and back and short sleeves. 1t was
made Of white cotton-bagging and elab-
orately draped and trimmed with white
ribbon and wide white ruching around
the train and at the shoulders. The
bridegrooms were dressed in suits of
cotton-bagging, the coats double breasted
Prince Alberts, and the vests low cut.
The buttons were green cotton bolls.

DR.. Saymonne claims to have isolated
a bacillus, called by him bacillus crini-
vorax," which is the cause of alopecia
1t is, he says, found only on the scalp of
man, other hirsute parts of the body and
also the fur of animals being free from
it, The bacilli invade the hair-follicles
and make the hair very brittle, so that
they break off to the skin. Then the
roots themselves are attacked. If the
microbes can be destroyed early in the
disease, the vitality of the hairs may be
preserved, but after the follicles are in
vaded and all their structures injured
the badness is incurable. The follow
ing is DR.. Saymonne' remedy to prevent
badness: Ten parts crude cod liver oil,
ten parts of the expressed juice of
onions, and five parts of mucilage or the
yelk of an egg are thoroughly shaken
together and the mixture applied to the
scalp and well-rubbed in once a week.
This, he asserts, will certainly bring
back the hair if the roots are not already
destroyed, but the application of the
remedy must be very distressing te the
patients friends and neighbors. Med

A MoMAN.s booker.


Just where It Is one never knowsj
Beneath the folds itnever shows;
Above, below, before, behind
A puzzle to the human rhindl
Man never knows his helplessness
Until he tries In woman's dress
To find the pocket.
Twas sooner found in early days
Before they had the polonaise
Dressmakers now are sore perplexed
To know just where to hide 1t next
In these hard times Of scanty purse
IT'S hard to find the dress-but worse
To find the pocket
A fact by husbands too well known
She fnds his pocket, while her own
is so concealed about her dress
II long since lost its usefulness.
She bears her purse now in her hand,
Because she never can command
That hidden pocket.
He's new to matrimonial cares
Who volunteers to run upstairs
And fetch a tribe, more or less,
HIS bride left In some other dressi
Believe me, nature ne'er designed
That mortal man should ever find
A woman's pocket.
He opens wide the closet door
Each hook so full Of robes galore
That ere he finds the proper gown
Each dress in turn has tumbled down.
Into the placbet hole at back
He thrpsts his arm, alas alackl
'Tis not pocket.
He drags it out in his despair
And spreads II DER an easy chair;
Lifts up each tuck, and fold, and seam;
Walks round and round as In q dream.
He's much too good man TO swear,
Yet undevoutly wonders where
She keeps that pocketl
He grabs 1t up and rushes down
Upon her lap tosses the gown;
"In truth you are the better half,
II you can find--l Why do you laughY -
Il laugh because you've brought me here
A pelticoat, my hubby DEAR
To find pocket"

A billin the Georgia Legislature which
prohibits the sale of seed cotton between
the dates August 10 and December Is,
meets with considerable opposition. The
object was to prevent renters and others
from rushing in and breaking down
prices so early in the season, also to pre-
vent the sale of the seed, but the op-
ponents said small farmers wanted to
take their pickings to town as soon as
gathered to get needed supplies, and,
should the bill pass, they would be COM
poled to ask some larger planter to let
them put their cotton in their bales in
order to sell it.-Farmers' Home Jour-

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.


Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon d Son, cor. of John
