New Conditions of Farming.

After the long depression in agricultural
interests it is becoming evident that their re"
vival must be on a very different basis from
that of farming in the olden time, says the
American CttItiudtor. Industry and close
attention to details will doubtless continue
to be as necessary to successful farming as
they ever were. But they will not be the
only nor yet the chief factors Of success.
Time was when the best farming was the
result of increasing toll with comparatively
little thought. The necessity for work has
not ceased. In the nature Of things it
never can wholly cease. But the need for
study and thought has enormously H.
creased and in farming as in other forms OF
labor it has made shorter hours OF labor
necessary. With the greater amount OF
Thought that modern farming requires, the
long hours for work, from daylight until
dark. through the summer are not possible.
Men break down under them, because
where both brain and muscles are worked
there is a double tax on the vital powers.

erly observed, however, are no less 1eVora-

Can Hogs be Raised Cheaply on the
Cotton Farm?

Why not9 What has been done can be
done again. To raise hogs cheaply will re-
quire more attention than is usually given
to the subject where cotton culture on a
large scale absorbs all other interests, says
the Southern Lire Stock Journal. As
there is to be departure; as the hog is TO
have a chance once more, a few thoughts
along this line may not be out of place.
1t is now fairly understood that to be sue
cessful on pig culture the start must be made
right, and the business pushed from start to
finish. All the details of the business will
require attention, beginning with the SOW
Of some hardy quick-growing sort-In far
row, which should drop her pigs in con-
venient time to be brought to the knife, In
eight or niEe months, before Christmas or
by that time. Preparatory to the business
there should be grass plat. In this imme-
date section where red clover has not been
introduced substitute, for instance, rye or
oats, sowed early i'll the fall will furnish
green food which, with grain rations, sweet
potatoes and turnIps, cooked with cotton
seed, will keep the sows IN fine growing
order and give the pigs a fine start. The
latter should have free access to the
oats until exhausted, by which time there

mature early. Then comes ground peas,
chufas and sweet potatoes in the greatest
abundance, provided they have not been
left out Of the routine.
Here we may remark that corn-a costly

cially when its place may be supplied by

in carrying the pigs from early summer un-

With anything like a wise provision, a

the way to an independence on the cotton

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 1S.-Consid
cradle excitement has been occasioned near
Bedford, this state, by the finding Of 81 .00C
in greenbacks at the roots OF tree on
which Stephen Clark was hanged by a moi
several years ago. It was supposed that
Clark had hidden large sums of money
aud the boys in the neighborhood have
from time 10 time. gone searching for it.
Last night Clark's widow was awakened
by the light of lantern under tree in her
yard, aud discovered some boys at work
with pick. They dug about two feet into
the ground and secured broken pieces of O
wooden box. They at last dug out an old
coat, and after unrolling it found re-
volver, some counterfeiting molds and 81, 00C
in greenbacks.
Clark was hanged on the same tree for
murder, and after his death the remains Of
five men and ono woman were found In O
cave near his home. They we're believed tc
have been murdered by him.

Early Beets and Radishes.

To grow these crops to the best advan-
tage the land must be heavily MANFRED and
thrown up in ridges, with a clean furrow
between to lead off the surplus water, says
Thomas d. Baird in Southern Liue Stock
journal. To have these crops to grow the
fastest the manure should be we'll rotted
and assimilated through the soil. By put
ting The manure on the ground in the fall
and turning it under, it makes the soil
light and mellow, and so mixes with the
soil that it seems to be simply one, and the
roots of the beets and radishes find abund-
ance of rich, available food, grow rapidly,
tender and crisp. To throw the soil up in
high ridges it can be worked several days
earlier, and a few days earlier makes
great difference in the value of these crops.
These crops will stand considerable cold
weather. The great trouble is get~
ting the soil dry and in order for working,
to SOW them in good order. But when well
ridged it dries out very rapidly after a
thaw or rain into good working order. In
the spring these ridges are leveled and laid
off in lines as desired, either IS inches
between lines and sown in alternate lines.
The radishes will be out OF the way of the
beets by tee time they need much work. In
fact, if the soil is MANFRED heavily enough
these crops will need but very little work.
Or, where one is scarce of land and manure,
SOW the beets and radishes in the same line.
The radishes can be drawn out so as to give
more room when small, and used. for, If
early, most markets will take them quite
small; and by the time the beets need the
room the radishes will be all taken away.
After these crops are up a sprinkliug Of
ashes will make them grow and give better
quality. If early. there is no crop more
valuable than these, and will well pay the
trouble of this care.

world, would control the worlds market in
manufactured articles. They do in a very
tew-those which demand most labor and
least intelligence. But for the greater part
OF manufactured articles, England and
Germany, where labor is fairly paid, do not
fear competition of the cheaper labor else,
where.
That this is equally true in farming the
failure of Indian ryots to compete with
more intelligent American wheat growers
July shows. We can sell wheat cheaper in
Liverpool than can the men who sell their
labor at s cents and 10 cents per day. As
proof Of this, the great deficiency Of wheat
product in Europe is this year. and viii
doubtless be in future, supplied by the
United States.
There will probably be localities in which
wheat growing must be superseded by other
forms Of agricultural labor. This is
truth equally applicable to all other
branches Of farming. Under the new con-
ditions the hardest work Of the farmer will
be thinking, and his hardest problem will he
for each season as to what crop and kind of
farming his soil and the conditions of the
market are best adapted.
There will be more or less loss as these
questions are answered mistakenly. But
through all these changes the fact that re-
mains sure is that good farming will pay.

Illinois Peaches.

Some German farmers in Illinois, it is
said, succeeded in growing fine crops of
peaches year after year, while all their
neigbbors failed Lately the neighbors
learned that the Germans had made the
practice of covering the ground about the
trees thicl1ly with sawdust late in the fall or
early In the winter, This prevented the
trees from blooming too early. At proper
time in the spring this mulch was removed.
