Ecw to Make Grating Wax.


On the authority Of an old graf
ter. the New York Witness gives
this recipe for making an excellent
article of grating WAX: Take one
fourth pound of beef or mutton
tallow, one-half pound beeswax
one pound of rosin; melt in an
iron vessel and stir with paddle
until al is melted. Have wooden
pail three-quarters full of coid
water. First tallow the inside of
the pail three inches down, pcur
the wax in, and work when suifi-
ciently cool. Work well with the
hands, like shoe-maker's wax,
until the water is all out. Tallow
your hands often. For working
in cold weather add an ounce OF
llinseed oil. 1t is well to remtm-
Der that successful grating lie
pends largely upon good wax a.
well as skill and care in using the
article on the tree.

A resident of Edgewood told
his servent to give his fowls salts
in their food, as a remedy fol
chicken cholera, as prescribes by
Mr.. James kirkpatrick, v. S. The
servant thought common salt wa:
intended and gave an abundant
supply to a dozen fine hens. The
fowls began to lay, it is true, but
it was to lay on their backs and
die.-Dixie Farmer.

Fable.

There was certain COW that
boasted that she gave more milk
than any other COW in the stable
and that her milk was richer.
Whenever one of the other COWS
was MIXED this boastiDg COW re-
marked upon the small quantity
and poor quality of her milk
Now when it came the turn for
this COW that has boasted to be
MIXED, all the other cows In the
stable gathered around and said,
Now we will see milk as is milk. "
But when the mixer sat down to
milk this COW, behold she was dry.

Who Will Start II!

Village farming, remarks the
Dawson, Ga, News, is favored by
Governor Northern in the columns
of The Southern Cultivator, for
which he writes exclusively, Is
coming to be discussed in a general
way with some enthusiasm. The
provinces of France and Germany
illustrate more forcibly than mod
ern theory the beauty and value
of the system. The man who shall
first inaugurate the system in the
South shall be the recipient OF
loudest praise.

Start Where You Ace.

Too many men, especially
young men, want to make a big
start in any undertaking, say agrl-
culture, poultry breeding. ETC. and

Generally, we think, the most sue
cessful men have started with
small means and developed Their
Industries by a slow but sure
growth into great proportions. 30

Oats.

Last week Mr.. McIven, OF In
elise bayou, brought to this Office a
bunch of oats raised on his place.
The sample brought shows up ex-
cenllently. The straw is as large as
lead pencils, and the heads are
long and well filed with very
large, plump grains. The sample
brought indicate a yield of sixty
or more bushels per acre If the
stand is good. Indeed we have
seen oats in Kansas with nc
heavier straw nor better head:
make 100 bushelsper acre. Truly
oats succeed admirably in South

PRACTICAL FARMER
COMES TO SEE YOU AGAIN THIS
WEEK,

And Shows the UnbeIiever How to Raise
Pork at One-Half Cent Per Pound.
KEACHI. La, May IS, 1892.
Editor PROGRESS:
Your friend Reason" wants to |
know by what unheard-of method
pork can be raised at a cost OF )
cent per round, and tells about
what it is supposed to cost the
Western farmer.
After some investigation l have
come to the conclusion that with
our advantages of climate, Ber-
muda and native grasses, COW
peas, sweet potatoes, etc, we can
raise pork cheaper than the
farmers of such Northwestern
States a. Michigan, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin. Nebraska, etc. The amount
of food necessary Ill the above
mentioned States to cleste animal
heat sufficient to Offset the cold
weather during half Of the year
will keep our hogs in a thrifty and
growing condition.
How many Southern farmers
can honestly and truthfully say
what it costs to raise pork?
How easy it is to laugh at a man
who advances ideas and can prove
them by actual tests, contrary to
the accepted traditions handed
down from father to son.
Why, 1 have heard it for twenty
five years that a hog would eat his
head off if fed on corn, and l have
been fool enough to believe it, un'
It'll few years ago, without evel
making an investigation.
How often is the assertion made
that unless you get the benefit o.
the mast to fstten with, pork rails
ing is cut Of the question, WheI
the fact is, in most cases, that th'
man who depends on mast TO
meat generally buys it from tn
stores. There are exceptlona
cases, where the location Of farm
lis favorable to raising that kind o
pork. but at best it is Of an inferio
quality.
Now suppose your friend vii
take a SOW and six pigs and Civ
them twelve ordinary ears Of cor
per day, not emitting rainy day
nor Sundays, with q range on soc
/, grass pastures to aid her; he Gel
tainly would think that they woul
be kept in growing condition
10 and his pigs would at twelv
y months old weigh at least IL
. pounds apiece.
!" measured barrel of corn i
shuck a few days ago; it weighe
over the regulation weight of I
pounds, and it contained lS4 eal
- of corn. Now let your correspol
dent do little figuring, and /
} will find that each pig has nj
eaten but about four barrels
corn in the twelve months, Wi
the SOW fed free of charge. If
/, costs 10 cents per bushel to raj
corn, 40 cents for twelve mont
i old hog will be the cost for feed.

State Board of Agriculture, for the

PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall over the State as a
whole is quite deficient this week.
Through the central counties, cOmpOs-
ing the great harvest field this week,
there has been absolutely no rain ex-
cept in one or two localities; in the
western and southwestern counties,
where the need of rain has begun to
be felt, fair rains have fallen; in the
extreme eastern counties, especially
the central eastern, where rain was
much needed, much rain has fallen.
TEMPERATURES AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature has ranged decid-
eddy below the normal, there being a
deficiency of from to 10 degrees
daily. An average amount of sun
shine has prevailed except in the ex-
treme southeastern and western coun-
ties where it has been deficient, and
in the belt of counties from Gray and
Mead, northeastward to Washington,
Marshall and Nemeha, in which belt
an excess has prevailed.
RESULTS.
Better harvest weather could not
have been produced if manufactured
to order" The absence of rain allow
ed the work to go on uninterruptedIy
while the cool weather, in addition to
rendering the work more agreeable,
has ripened the grain much slower
than under ordinary conditions,
which has in measure compensated
for the shortage in harvest hands.
Harvest is in progress in every county
in the State, is nearly concluded in
the southern counties, began this
week in the northern. But little
grain however is being threshed, far
mers preferring to stack it on accounted
the present low prices. The oats har-
vest is in progress in the south and
has commenced in the central cOun-
ties. Corn has made a fine growth
and is just beginning to tassel in the
central counties. Rain is now needed
for the grass, corn and gardens, and
is badly needed fc- potatoes.

O GOVERNOR

The Virginia Chronicle dominates.
w. 4. Sharon for Governor, as follows /:
The leading men of the State who
have made such a gallant and C
full fight for the eilver cause deserve
the greatest praise. The Chronicle
suggests that the chief manager of the
campaign, Hon. William E. Sharon,
who conducted it 80 ably and sacrifi-
ced his own time and money for the
cause Of the people, will, when the
next gubernatorial contest takes place,
be honored by the silver party as their
standard bearer. That Mr.. Sharon
is the most popular man residing in
Storey county needs nc affirmation.
His face is an index of his character.
He has not and never had an enemy
in Nevada.
Mr.. Sharon has been a resident OF
Virginia City, and therefore at Nevnda
for many years. He is certainly fitted
in every way for any honor the people
Of the State see fit TO bestow upon
him. For his home paper to say: "He
has not and never had an enemy. in
Nevada" is certainly the very best
recommendation he could receive at
its hands, but the beauty Of it is that
the fact is known in every part of the
State by those who have the pleasure
of the gentleman's acquaintance. He
is wholesouled and has the happy
faculty of getting close TO the people.
He needs be a good man who would
make a better Governor for Nevada
than Hon. w. E. Sharon.
