The Time ttH2low.

Southern Planter divides this work into
three divisions-fall, winter and spring
plowing. Stiff lands should be we'll
broken in the fall, in order that they may
have the full advantage of the. pulveriz-
ing effects of the winters frosts.
Moderately stiff land may be well and
proftahIy plowed in winter at such
periods as the condition of the weather
will permit, and the freezing which will
follow will break down all clods and give
good pulverization.
Land which may be classed as light,
sandy loan it is always best to plow in
tue spring, at the ti<ne of planting or
sowing, so that the work of following,
preparation and putting in the crop may
all go on together, but when these opera
tions are going on care must be taken
that the land is in healthy and sound
condition-in other words, not too we
or too dry, as either would be injurious
to the crop Sand will hold it's weight
in water, so that the temporary absorb
ing power of the soil depends on the
proportion of sand it contains; but the
excess of water is rapidly given off as
soon as the supply ceases, and the farmer
will have but short time to wait before
such land comes in order if too wet, and
it rarely gets too dry to prevent proper
plowing and preparation. These are but
general rules, which each farmer must
apply to himself; and, with knowledge
Of the character Of his land, he will have
no difficulty, except In his neglect to ap-
ply them with sufficient care.

Judging Horses Feet.

The Judgment necessary to know and
discriminate between what approaches
the natural and the unnatural in the in
clination of horses foot is something
that cannot be too seriously considered,
especially by the practicing farrier. Par
ticular care ought to be paid to the due
degree of that growth in which the foot
should be kept, as well as the proper
height, width and length of the shoe,
and the manner in which it must be put
on SO as to promote the two circum-
stances of expansion and contraction.
The degree of obliquity of the hoof
differs greatly in different horses, the
high bred horses showing a tendency
to more oblique line of hoof than do
the other animals. The foot must be
preserved as nearly as possible in its own
natural position. Any foot, however,
may be perverted or altered from it's
proper degree of obliquity by the farrier
pairing the heels down and leaving long
toes, or by leaving short toes and high
heels.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-03-06

In order to be got into condition for
shoeing. tho first object Of attention is
to bring the foot to perfectly level
bearing. If this is properly managed,
the secret Of success in farriery is solved,
affirms Russell in his Scientific Horse
Shoeing," from which the annexed cut
is re-engraved. In this cut Is shown
what Professor Russell claims to be
perfect hoof, properly prepared for the
shoe. This may be taken as standard
of perfection, from which the goodness
of feet in general may be judged. An
examination of the natural feet of many
horses will show that their essential
shape is the same, but, generally speak
ing, perfect foot will not be found in an
animal that has been shod Some Of
the unshod feet may have grown more
luxuriantly than others, whereby the
crusts will be deeper and the bottom
part may be broken, SO as to give the
foot an uneven appearance, but when
this superfuous horn has been removed
it will be found that the bottom of the
foot will be like the one here illustrated,
nearly circular, the sole concave, the
bars distinct, the frog open and the heel
expanded.
In undertaking to get horses foot
into condition it is important to bring it
to its best form-that is, as near to nat
ure as is practical.
1t is on this ground that Professor Rus
sell recommends to every farmer the use
of small hand compasses five or six
inches in the branch for nursing the foot
and bringing 1t to its proportionate level.
It is his practice to first ascertain tho
length of the heels opposite the lines D,
D, by measuring with compasses from
coronet. to ground surface, then the quar-
ters above the lines G, 9, and likewise
the sides of the toe opposite the lines D,
D. In the same manner, on the bottom,
the foot is to be measured at the lines G,
G, where it's diameter is the greatest
from the middle of tho frog to tho out
side rim of the hoof. BY thus ascertain
ing the gradations of the foot and duly
proportioning it before shoeing to that
degree of safety possible, there is no
doubt, in Professor Russells opinion, tina.
the strength and general condition Of
the foot will be brought to the highest
state it Is capable of attaining On the

A AFLOURIsHING ALLIANCE.

The North Carolina Farmers Alliance seems to be doing pretty well and hopes to do still better. It is not yet two years old, but 1t already includes nearly two thousand alliances and sub-alliances, and has O,O00 members. It has built or is building cotton seed oil mills, tobacco factories and ware- houses and stores. "All prosper, and one enterprise leads to another" It already con- trols warehouses and manufactures tobacco. It Is becoming Cotton trust as we'll as Tobacco trust and Cottonseed Oil trust. It has cotton agencies, and an association of Raleigh capitalists Is building storage ware- houses in which the Alliance will store its cotton at cheap rates, including insurance, and the Alliance will hold the cotton as long as 1t pIeases. It proposes to control and handle all the cotton grown by it's members. It has dealt sharply with the Jute trust. The members of the alliance will not use jute bagging. Consequently the Jute trust has offered the members of the Farmers trust to sell them jute bsgging at low rates on time, and to give them two dollars more ton for their cottonssed than is offered by the cotton seed oil mills.
 If the alliance finds that it has power enough it will control the railroads. This will be sought by means of a railroad com> mission. If this can be done the members of the alliance will be able to make money rapidly. Perhaps, however, this hourishing combination may strike snsg in the shape of another combination.

ELECTRICITY IN TANNING

The uses of electricity are so rapidly in- creasing that it is difficult to keep track of them. One of the latest reports is cons nected with tanning hides. By the present process the conversion of hides into leather requires from six to twelve months time. Much experience is required to conduct the operations properly. With the greatest care and the best facilities many of the hides are imperfectly tanned: A large plant is re- quired when several thousand hides are to be converted into leather in the course of 8 year. Large capital is also needed, as the raw material purchased cannot be put into form that can be sold for long time. By the electrical process the light hides, like those of the sheep and goat, are tanned in twenty four hours. Calfskins are converted into leather in three days and OK hides in less than week. It is claimed that the op- eration of tanning is perfectly performed, while the cost Is reduced one-half. Only one-ffth as many men are required to tan a given number of hides. A tannery that em- ploys the electrical process may be very small affair and still do great amount of work. But little capital Is required to oper- ate 1t, as the hides bought one week can be sold the next.
 The process is very simple one. The prepared hides are placed in large cylinders, which revolve upon horizontal axes. A de- cootion of tannin is placed in the cylinders with the hides and current of electricity is kept passing through it.

 The Manufacturers' Record has this to say concerning progress in the South: It needs
 but moments thought to see the reason for this remarkable era of prosperity which has
 just opened upon the South. In the last 31S years the Manufacturers Record has reported Il 1000 new industrial establishments, cover ing every line of manufacturing from making pins to building locomotives, and the build ing of over 5000 miles of railroad, and the production of the largest crops ever raised in
 this section, which yielded good profits to the farmers. Thus in three years the South has raised about 21 ,5OO,OO bales of cotton. over ], 1,500, ,000, 900 bushels of corn, nearly 150,- 000,00 bushels of wheat and 240, 1000, ,000 bushels of oats, the total value of these and other agricultural products, according to off cial government figures, reaching the enor- nous aggregate of upward of $2,5OO, ,00O, 900, or an average of over ss3O, ,o0O, 900 for each year. With this enormous agricultural growth added to the hundreds of millions of outside money which has gone South for in- vestment in railroads, in furnaces, in mines, in mills, in timber and mineral lands, in costly hotels, etc. we can readily see why the South has reached firm foundation on which to build great prosperity.

REUNITED AFTER 40 YEARS. Sort of Enoch Arden Story With (
 Happy Ending.

From the St. Louis Republicl
 A remarkable case of separation of husband and wife, and their coming together again af- the southern part of the city. The couple are now in the city alive and well, although each believed the other dead for many years. The history of the case runs as follows: In 1857 Theodore Flotow and his wife left Bav- aria to seek their fortune in this country. They were then young couple, and felt con- fdent of achieving success in the United States. They landed at New Orleans, and Flotow being blacksmith by trade, opened a shop at once and went to work with energy to support his wife and young daughter. Af- ter two years Flotow found himself penniless, with no prospect of improving his condition. The California gold fever was raging sDout this time, and, in fit of desperation, he con- cluded to leave his family and start across the plains to the land of promise in search of better luck aud prosperity. He did not tell his wife, expecting, it is said, to call them out there ss soon as he found himself well situated. He experienced some hard licks, and it was long time before he could make more than bare living for himself.
 
 for months and months, concluded that he was dead, and left New Orleans. She went to several places, working for the support of herself and child, and in a few years met and married German named Lohenhofer. They came to this city in 1853 and lived hap- oily together until a few years ago, when Lo- henhofer died, leaving his family in moderate circumstances. Since then the widow Lohen- hofer has been living on the southeast corner of Third and Victor streets Her daughter by her first husband was also married, and she, too, is widow, residing on Linn street, in this city.
 A short time ago Mrs. Lohenhofer learned through German minister living at Mur- physboro, that Flotow, her first husband was still living and in very good cireum- stances, so far as the worlds goods are con- oerned. Mrs. Lohenhofer was greatly sur- prised at the information, but concluded to meet her husband without delay. A corre- spondence was begun, and few days ago Flotow came here from California. He is 72 years of age, and Mrs. Lohenhofer 69, and to say that the meeting between the old couple was touching would be drawing it mildly. Il was extremely pathetic.
 FIotow had strange story to relate. He too, had been married again, thinking that his first wife was dead. He said that when he got to California, after many trials and | setbacks, he tried to find her, but in vain After waiting few years and thinking thai | she was dead he married again, but his w1ft ! lived only few years, and he embarked nc more in the matrimonial business. He Ii we'll situated, and is now stopping with hll daughter by his first marriage on Linr
 street.

 President Candler of Emory college, Geor- gia, says that State must soon begin building school houses. "The country schools" he says, "are miserably housed in many cases. Except for college buildings and for school houses erected in certain cities, towns and counties by local taxation, do not think Georgia has spent dollar for school build ings in fifty years. If the State has done so 1t has entirely escaped my notice." It is our observation, says the Scientific American, "that beer-drinking in this coun. try produces the very lowest kind of inebri. ety, closely allied to criminal insanity.
