farther south, field peas may yet bo
sown for improving the soil. 1t is an
excellent plan to sow speckled peas on
land that was in small grain or corn
last year, and is now covered
with growth of hog weeds and
other vegetation. We have often
done this. Start say, three one
horse turn plows, one after the other,
each with good drag-chain or weed

ton will be required, and the result will
vines. 1t will be all the better If one
hundred and fifty pounds of potash acid
phosphate be applied to each acre,
dropping it by the side of the peas, or
sowing 1t along the planting furrow.
or course the peas should be gathered,
either by hand or by pasturing with
hogs; or the best parts may be mown
with mower, or scythe, and converted
into hay.
The land, If turned over in Septem-
ber, will make fine crop OF small
grain, or If left unplowed all the win
ter will be in fine condition for cotton,
corn, or any summer crop. After July
it will barely pay expenses to SOW peas,
as they will make very little vine and
but few peas, il any.
This is the month to commence push
ing the growing hogs The aim should
be to induce rapid development of bone
and muscle. Give plenty of succulent
food, fallen fruit, collards, refuse vege-
tables sorghum, etc. We have often
advised feeding green corn, stalk and all,
to hogs. We know OF no more profitable
way to feed corn than to cut it while in
the roasting-ear stage, and on until past
fodder-pulling stage. 1t is good for
hogs, horses and cattle, but especially
for hogs. Sorghum, fed in the same
way, commencing as soon as the heads
are in bloom, is most excellent hog
food, almost as good as collards. The
last, we think, is one of the very best
crops that can be grown and fed to grow
ing stock of all kinds. Hogs that have
plenty of collard leaves and plenty of
cool, clean water, do not die of cholera.

HERE AND THERE.

One of the most common causes Of
hogs deterioriating is by too close in
breeding; change occasionally.
The best success in growing any
kind of crops is in concentration of
work on small areas.
Let the growing pigs run with tho
cattle, especially If they are fed grain.
They will save much that would other
wise 60 to waste.
"A box with salt and ashes should
be placed where the hogs can help
themselves. They need salt regularly.
Plan the work so that the cultiva-
ton of the corn-felds can be as COM
plete as possible before finishing up.
Generally, sowing grass or clover
seed on hard surface is more or less
waste of money, seed and time.
Many good farmers find it the most
profitable to break young team at
three years old and keep until five and
then sell; raising good grade of draft
horses and selling as soon as sufisient-
ly matured.
1t is not a good plan to allow ma
chinery of any kind to stand out, ex-
posed to the hot sun. A. very little
work will put it under shelter, and it
will always be found work that will
pay.
"A machine shed should be built so
as to be easily accessible, so that in
storing the machinery too much extra
work will not be necessary in taking
out or storing away.
Fall pigs can only be made profit
able by providing them with a shelter
so comfortable that with careful feed
ing a steady gain can be secured all
through the winter. Pigs must not DO
kept over ten months.
With farmers. to whom grass is tho
cheapest and best crop that can be
raised, it will generally be found moro
profitable to allow some one else TO put
the finishing weight upon the cattle be-
fore marketing.
O-Mules can be broken and put to
light work when past two years old and
will readily earn their keep from this
time on and be growing steadily all the
time. and gradually increasing in value
and can be sold at from four TO five yesrs

COTTON LICE.
The Pestiferous Aphides that Produce tho
Honey Dew.

The Pestiferous Aphides that Produce tho
Honey Dew.
The Southern Cultivator, in reply to
a correspondent whose cotton fields are
evidently the resort of cotton lice, says:
Cotton lice belong to genus of in
sects-Aphides- which there are
great many species. Nearly every
plant is more or less infested by kind
of aphis peculiar to the plant They
are produced from eggs laid in the
previous fall which hatch in the spring.
A peculiar fact is that the lice Matched
from the eggs in the spring are all fe-
males; and these females, instead Of
laying eggs, bring forth their young
alive. Successive generations are thus
produced throughout the summer, all
being wingless females, until seven or
more generations have been produced,
without the appearance or Intervention
of male. In the fall the propagation
for the season ends with brood Of
males and females which pair, and then
the females lay eggs for next years
stock, the parents then dying Nearly
all species Of plant life exude from tho
tubes on their backs sweet fluid, which
is often so plentiful as to smear the
leaves Of the plants, and is called honey
dew. The ants are very fond of this
fluid and so far from devouring the lice
are very assiduous in their attentions
and protection, coaxing the lice to
''give down" the honey dew. Hence,
plant lice are sometimes called the
ants cows
1--WE know of no effective method Of
destroying cotton-plant lice. Good ma
nuring and cultivation generally put
the plants beyond the reach of injury
from these pests; and the increase of a
species of ichnuemors, which preys upon
the lice, soon checks their rapid in
crease. We do not think manures have
any thing to do with producing lice"

Empress Frederick's Kindness.

The German Empress Frederick loves
little children. She never fails to no
t!ce every one she sees, and will often
stop in her walks and speak to them.
Even grubbiness will not deter her from
taking particularly fine baby in her
arms, though, of course, she prefers
them clean. In return, children, who
always know their friends by instinct,
are attracted to tho Empress, and the
following little incident, which oc-
Cured lately, illustrates this: A gen.
tleman who passed daily between three
and four o'clock along the road that
leads from Berlin to Charlottenburg
noticed little girl always standing
at the corner of the Hardenburg Strasse,
and at last he asked her why she did
it. because of the Empress Frederick" !"
she answered. When the Empress was
in Berlin she drove every day when it
was fine toward Charlottenburg with
her daughters, and at the Hippodrome
they got out of their carriages and
walked. Her Majesty noticed the little
girl always waiting at the same place,
and invariably nodded kindly in ac-
acknowledgement of her courtesy, where
upon the child went homo beaming.-

Narrow Escapes of Great Men.

The late Count Andrassy was con-
iemned to death after the failure of the
Hungarian insurrection of 1S4S. This
did not prevent him from becoming the
head of the Austro-Hungarian Minis

of Italy, was condemned to death after
his first revolutionary attempt against
the Bourbon King of Naples. Senior
Sagasta, Prime Minister of Spain, was
twice prescribed, and would have been
shot as an insurgent If he had been
captured. France contains in Nm
Rochefort and Ranc two men who have
been condemned criminals and members
Of the government according to the turn
of the political tide. This has been
the situation, indeed, OF many French
men. When NJ de Polignac, in 1880,
was condemned to imprisonment in

mprisonment-he exclaimed: II am
condemned to Imprisonment in per-
petuity, eh? Let me see; how long
does perpetuity last in France?7 In
his case it lasted six years. He was

LANCASHIRE LASSES.
They Are the Strongest Female Workers
In All Europe.

hh bA A@uioPcs
The Lancashire women, at least, are
the rosiest, strongest set of women
imaginable-that is, on Sundays and
holidays, when repeated washings and
scrubbings have removed several lay
ers of coal-dust; and it is notorious,
locally, that at pinch most of then
are equal in physical power to theiI
masculine colleagues. At home they are
inferior to any class of women, working
or otherwise. Being engaged in the
open air all day, they can naturally
turn in the evenings with more than
ordinary zest to household duties
In word, they are thoroughly do
mesticated Lastly-and this, after all,
is the great point-their demeanor and
general conduct are absolutely unim
peachable.
AS to the working dress of the PHI
women, that is certainly peculiar, looked
at from conventional standpoint
Up to few years ago they were at
tired like men up to the waist, with
buckled clogs on their feet Above the
knees came the end of a peculiarly-fash
toned tunic, a composite sort of a gar
ment-half jacket half dress, with some
sacking material tied round the wais'
as an apron.
A limp bonnet, tied under the chin,
or sort Of turban, so arranged as just
to show the neatly plated hair and the
bright earrings, completed the costume,
and very odd it looked, especially at a
distance, which in this case did not lend
enchantment to the view.
Now, out of Difference to the feelings
Of certain peculiarly sensitive people,
the tunic is worn little longer so as
nearly to hide the masculine garment
the head-dress is little neater, and, In
addition, short Jacket is worn.
The dress iscertainly not picturesque
but as means to an end, as allowing
the utmost freedom of motion and OBJ
waiting accidents, tits beyond all praise
Nevertheless, the women themselves
are conscious of its incongruity, anG
take the earliest opportunity of chang
ing 1t for ordinary female attire as sooI
rs they get home from work.
II has happened before now that Will,
proceeding to or from work they have
some Of them, been made the subject o
attack by somebody with an undue pro
portion Of tongue to brain, but-thi
may be said with safety-never NOR
than once By the same individual.
In addition to possessing a highly
vigorous vocabulary they are so hard
ened with exposure to the weather an
developed by the nature of their wor,
that they can give good account G
themselves, even though fight shoul
ensue, and the opponent may have res
son to admit with benefting humility
the wisdom Of Providence in endowin
women generally with the will an
