Business Transacted by the Supervisors
Committee.
The Fire Department Committee of the
Board of Supervisors met yesterday, David
Barry presiding.
In regard to the protests of merchants
against the erection of the house for the
chemical engine and water tower on the
gore lot at Market, Battery and Bush streets,
it was stated by Mr.. Barry that the mer-
chants had been given four weeks in which
to find other property for the house to be
erected on, and they had not done so. 1t
had been suggested to have lot on Anthony
street, but that thorOughfare is only forty
feet wide, whereas the tower is forty-five
feet in length. The matter was laid over
for one week in order to give the protestants
an opportunity to secure another lot, If
possible.
The petition of the Southern Pacific COM
pany for permission to lay pipes under its
tracks on Townsend and King streets, to
be used in case of fire, so that the tracks
may be kept clean, was referred TO the
Board of Fire Commissioners for its
opinion.
The petition for permission to erect
fire engine and boiler for lubricating oil
works on Seventh street was denied.
1t was decided to recommend the organi-
cation of company to take charge of the
water tower, and to be known as Engine
Company 49,
Other routine matter was disposed OF and

Small Herds and EloclSs.

The maxim "a small farm well titled"
is an old one, and the frequent advice
to cultivate small areas is excellent, but
this rule is also applicable to herds and
fiocks in certain sense. While large
herd will give larger return under
equal conditions than small one, yet
the profit depends on the amount from
each member of the herd. 1t is, there
fore, more profitable to keep few ami
mails that pay than to keep large num-
bers at loss. 1t is more profitable
to transfer the capitai invested in a
large herd that does not pay to a
small herd, thereby concentrating the
efforts on few, just as small plot of
land may be made profitable by apply
ing on il the whole of the manure.
The quality of the animals, their capac-
ity to convert food into salable products
and the lessening Of tho cost, and
especially the cost of maintenance, are
to be chiefly considered, and when
thnsa matters are fairly given tho at
tention of the farmer he will find that
he has been too eXtravagant in attempt
ing to do that which is sometimes con-
sidered economical. Economy in rails
ing stock is to use the best animals to
be had, and to properly manage them

Good, Fences.

II was asked what was the first and
most essential part to good farming 1
would answer good, substantial fences
Placing good fences at the head of all
other essentials for good farming may
be quizzed at by those who farm with
out fences, but am persuaded that the
greater portion of the farmer readers of
this journal like myself use fences, and
if those querist had seen as many poor
ly fenced farms as the writer has,. and
to see stock breaking through or jump
ing over poor fences, destroying crops
that are to support life and are needed
to meet and satisfy all other demands,
they, too, would say that good fences
were the first and most important of all
other essentials to good and progressive
farming.
Not only should the farm be inclosed
by good fences, but these fences should
be kept free from weeds, briers and
bushes on each side, that they may
have the full benefit Of the sun to keep
them dry and thus make them more
durable, consequently less expensive.
The inside of the farm should have
sufficient amount of good fences to
enable the farmer to cultivate his fields
with a proper rotation Of crops, and to
supply sufficient pasture for the farm
stock.-Dixie Farmer

one leg to add strength to the one left.

TALK TO FARMERS.
A Few Words to Those Who Dwell in the
Cotton States.

A Few Words to Those Who Dwell in the
Cotton States.
The planting season is about over,
and now comes the working of the crop.
In our section, the ''stand" of cotton is
good and the plant looks we'll and is
growing rapidly. Every thing you will
hear now, till the hot days of June and
July come, will be 1--WE have the bright
est prospects for large yield" never
had better crop" etc. Then, "the
drought is running our crops; cotton is
shedding, corn burning upi' etc. To
obviate these disasters, let the farmers
cultivate their crops properly. Having
put their cotton to a stand, with plenty
of distance, let them begin the Guilt
walton with scrapes, and never
pillow deeper than two inches, and
not allow crust to remain on the land
after a rain; keep the plows moving and
the land we'll stirred, so as to prevent
the weeds and grass from terminating
and not to kill them. zone preventive
is worth dozen remedies" and you
will hear less of shedding and burn
ing" from dry, hot weather.
My plan is to have my rows from four
to six feet wide, according to the
strength of the land, and check it of
three to FIVE feet and pillow alternately
each way. Thin to one stalk with the
hand, and let hoes severely alone. The
plants will meet. not lap Il do not want
them to lap ana thus exclude the air);
i thus secure the bottom crop without
which full crop can not be made. |
