Notes.

Save up supply of feed for the poul-
try now. Sorghum and sunfower seed,
the cleanings at threshing and other
materials can be gathered up and stored
to use during the winter.
A correspondent says that ten years
ago he could not secure forty two-horse
wagon loads Of well-rotted manure in
one year: now 900 loads will fall below
the mark, and that too, without one
cent paid out for commercial fertilizers
or for any expense whatever for extra
fixtures about the stable; simply plenty
of litter for all the stock, hence more
manure.
Every stock grower should know at
what weight it will be best to sell.
With all classes of stock it pays to
stick to one breed, first securing the
ones that suit the surroundings best.
The turkey is an industrious forager,
and If allowed good range will pick
up the greater part of its living.
One of the best preventives for cholera
among poultry is to feed parohed corn
regularly once week; twice would be
better, but If fed all they will eat once
will answer.
Raising plug horses for market rarely
pays. They cost as much toraise as the
better class and sell for much less.

FARM NOTES.

It is not the quantity of land, but the
management that determines the profit
It will not pay to presume that the
farm will pay as well without the use of
brains as with them.
The farm manure should be kept from
the sun. The soluble parts are the
most valuable, and if exposed a good
portion of this will either be evaporated
or leak away and be lost
The barn or stable is poor place for
the poultry. They will soon eat and de-
stroy more than they are worth. Pro-
vide them with place and then see
that they are kept there.
One advantage in growing sunfiowers
for poultry is that they will withstand
drought better than almost any other
crop, and being very rich, only small
| quantity need TO be fed at time.
1t is not necessary to thresh either
sunfiowers or sorghum. The heads can
be hung up and the fowls will take de-
light in picking out the seeds. During
the winter this is good plan of giving
them exercise.
Peaches may be set down as failure
all over where they usually are abun-
dant even in New Jersey, Maryland
and California. In Missouri apples
have dropped badly, they are small and
immature in consequence of the
drought
1t does not pay to waste three-fourths S
| of the manure made on farm by throw
ing the solid part off an open floor
out of doors to be washed down stream,
when by simply providing ample litter
both liquids and solids can be kept un-
til drawn where wanted.
The farmers have commenced thresh-
ing and marketing the fax crop. The
acreage is the largest that has ever been
raised in this locality and the reports so
far received say that the yield is very
satisfactory, the average being between
eight and ten bushels to the acre
Appleton City (Mo.) Journal
Clover does not leave the soil poorer
than before, but increases its capacity
for future crop productions 1t is deep
rooted and stands drought better than
any other grass 1t keeps the soil moist,
and its roots open the subsoil. which
makes plant-food more available for
other crops Clover should be cured,
but it must not be allowed to stand in
the field after being cured, as too much
sun causes it to burn"
1t does not pay to stint your fields in
seeding clover. Shade is wanted for the
good of the soil. Hence weeds grow
where crops are thin. The roots of
clover plants invigorate the soil. Fine
hay is worth more and is better favored
than the coarser. One ton of hay may
not pay cost of production while two
would make profit Therefore it will
not pay to SOW less than one bushel of
clover and timothy seed properly mixed,
on every acre sown.

One Of the Wonders OF Georgia and 1t
Indian Legeud

One OF the wonders OF Georgia and Its
Indian Legend.
In the county Of Epson, fourteen miles
west of Thomaston, three miles from
Flint river, among the hills of Pine
Mountain, is most remarkable spring,
known as the LAUNDERING Spring"
Forty to fifty years ago was familiar
with all the surroundings Of that To-
cality, and as / have never seen a de-
scription of the spring, and so far as !
know it is not mentioned in any history,
propose to give brief outline of the
spring as l saw it about forty-swo years
ago:
At the foot of a steep hill, some two
hundred or three hundred yards from
the public road, it bursts out of the
ground in volume sufficient to drive a
mill. The spring is about four feet
across, constantly boiling up fine sand,
which is thrown off every way, forming
dark circle or ring the size of the
aperture. The most remarkable thing
about it is that the sand all stops about
sixteen inches below the surface of the
water. The water for sixteen inches is
as clear as glass, below that dark as a
soap pot boiling, which it very much re-
sembles when at rest.
Occasionally large bubble bursts at
the surface, stirring up the sand. which
soon settles back to the same position.
The depth Of the spring is unknown.
The bubbles make a peculiar rumbling
sound before reaching the surface, hence
its name. The water is said to be effjca-
cious in the cure of many diseases, and
great many people resorted hither in
The summer time to bathe. The force of
the water upward was SO great that one
could not sink deeper than to the arm
pits, even by jumping in feet foremost
1t took some practice to stand erect in
the spring. l will close this description
by relating legend about the spring,
as handed down by the Indians.
On the top of the hill, and near the
public road, is hole in the ground
some fifteen feet deep and ten feet
across, the banks overgrown with trees.
This was once the Laundering" spring.
Some white man put up a doggery
where he sold "fire-water" to the In
dians. One day the chief of the tribe
got otdrunk, mounted his pony and seemed
to want to ride over every thing and
everybody he saw. He had rode his
pony into the doggery, much to the con-
sternation of its keeper and the delight
Of the Indians. After tiring of this
kind of sport he concluded to ride into
the spring. His friends tried to dissuade
him, but he, with a great oath (for the
whites had learned him to curse) said:
"l will ride my pony into that spring if
] sink to - in minute" Oh! what an
awful imprecation. His friends, his
wife and children among them, ceased
their efforts to prevent him, and in he
plunged, As the pony struck the water
it ceased to boil upward and went down
in whirlpool, Indian, pony and all out
of sight.
The water burst out in short time at
the foot of the hill, where it now is, but
the Indian nor his pony were ever heard
of afterward.-Flowery Branch Qa.)

srocx ITEMS.


II there is not feed sufficient to keep
the pigs growing, some OF them should
be sold.
Unless care is taken stock hogs will
begin to fail now, unless extra feed is
supplied.
The failure to make sheep pay can, to
o considerable extent, be traced to fail
ure to give proper care.
Be well prepared to care for all Of the
fruit as fast as it ripens There is no
economy in allowing it to go to waste.
No sheep take on flesh more readily
than the modern merinos. Six or eight
weeks liberal feeding with grain is
sufficient to make them rolling in fat
Blemishes, as we'll as diseases, are
often transmitted to offspring, and for
this reason it is very important to have
the sire, at least, as perfect as possible.
Corn meal is not as good feed given
alone as when the corn and cob are
given together. The cob meal makes a
greater bulk and it will be more thor
oughly masticated than when the corn
meal alone is fed.
A writer in the Western Stockman
thinks that to raise sheep exclusively
or mainly for wool or for mutton is
about as disastrous as to try to maintain
in this country union without liberty or
liberty without union.
For spring pigs especially it will be
better to depend upon the old sows.
They will usually give them better care
than the young sows, and generally the
weather in the spring is such that they
will need good care.
In arranging the shelter for the stock,
ventilation is an item that is often over
looked, and yet it is very important for
the health of the animals The best
plan is to fully provide ventilation when
the building is put up.
The almost fabulous prices speedy
trotters now sell for show that the way
to make the most money raising trotters
is to develop them. In this way green
two-year-old that would probably fetch
5000 or 81, 600 in the pasture is made to
bring from S5, 600 to S10,OOO with few
months handling. The benefit is three
fold. 1t increases the value of the
youngster, increases the value of its
dam and makes the sire worth more
money.
The best breeders of merino sheep
some years ago recognized the fact
that the sheep of eighty pounds
shorn and put on the mutton market
lid not sell for as much as the sheen
twenty or twenty-five pounds heavier;
so they gave attention to improv-
ing the size by liberal feeding and
selection of the larger ewes and rams, so
that now the ewes in many merino
flocks weigh from 100 to 1?5 pounds and
shear from twelve to twenty pounds, and
the rams weigh from 130 to $50 pounds.
