reality the poison of their sting This
formic acid gives to honey its peculiar
flavor and also imparts to it its keeping

which the bee finishes off and caps the

dered in point about the edge with
black, and above this three rows of
feather stitching one above the other,
and each extending up with the sleeve
at the point where the scallops join to-
gether. Around the neck there is
ruffle of flannel embroidered and
feather stitched in the same way, which
frills little way down the front to the
girdle.
More dainty still are the pure white
flannel gowns, with all the pretty
stitchings done in pale blue or pink or
heliotrope. Sometimes the edges of
the sleeves are scalloped, and a single
line of feather stitching follows the
outline of the scallop one or two inches
above the edge. In the space between,
French knots are dotted or tiny flower
sprays worked at intervals. Or the
scallop may be omitted for band of
Russian neeedleworl, which is simply
a pattern in the old-fashioned cross
stitch embroidery that our grand
mothers wrought on sampler and
that our mothers counted out on
Java canvas And this pattern
is to be done in black or
mixture of the old blues and
reds seen in Holbein work, if it would
really be artistic and according to tho
Russian idea. A very attractive and
serviceable gown of this kind is made
in red wool with an embroidery Of

are the bath robes of elder down wool

be made to do duty as a dressing gown

TOBACCO CULTURE.
A Successful North Carolina Grower
the Weed.

A Successful North Carolina Grower of
the Weed.
A correspondent of the Elberton GA
Star, recently writing from Airlie, N.
c., gives an interesting account of his
visit to North Carolina farmer who is
very successful in growing tobacco,
although, as the writer remarks, many
have failed to make it successful.
The gentleman he visited, says the
correspondent of the Star, has about
thirty acres in tobacco, and from this
farm he gets 1000 pounds to the acre
The cost of cultivation, fertilizing,
curing, etc, in fact, the entire
expense to market the weed, is
estimated all the way from $50 to
s75 per acre. He grows n good article
of tobacco and as he has an experienced
man to handle it, he puts on the mar
ket an excellent article, for which he
gets from ten to fifteen cents per
pound. 1t will be seen by this that he
doubles his money, and yet we heard
this gentleman say, that if he saw a
novice going into the business, he
would put him down as q fool.
The amount Of trouble, risk and worry
concomitant on tobacco culture is
simply immense, but to one who is well
up in the business, there is a fascina-
ton about it that is pleasant, and il
everything goes on right there must be
money in it.
/ was told that worming the weed
was one of the most vexations features
of the culture, and that flock of tur-
keys were the most efficient factors in
this part of the work. Ten turkeys
will do more and better work than one
expert laborer, and then you are also
raising fowls which sell at $3.50 per
pair. The gentleman of whom l have
spoken raises about 100 turkeys on his
tobacco, and saves thereby the wages
of ten hands. He has n turkey house
on the farm, and one laborer to attend
them to keep them in the field. Al
night they are housed, and the next
day they are turned out again, wher
they play havoc with the worms from

HERE AND THERE.

TO grow only one crop would be
like fiddling all on one string.
Steel shoes are cheaper than iron
ones if they do cost slightly more.
They wear longer and arc not SO heavy.
1t requires much less capital and
less time to get good start in either
sheep or hogs than it does in cattle or
horses.
With cattle as with other stock, it
is very important not to breed from too
young a stock, and especially so when
breeding to improve.
The south has untold mines Of
wealth in its agricultural lands, which
need the Industrious immigrant to de-
velop to its fullest extent,
Oil meal and corn should be made
the principal ration in fattening sheep,
as it will fattcn faster than almost any
thing else that can be given.
The wintering is the most expen-
sve part of cattle feeding, and it is an
item to make this as slight as possible,
keeping growth in view at the same
time.
Tens of thousands of acres in the
southern states that at one time pro-
duced bale of cotton are new covered
with millions of vines and peach and
pear trees.
The poor farmer of the south plants
all the land which he possibly can, and
raises his grass crop in his cornfield
and pastures his stock On the commons.
The idea that any sort of horse is
good enough for the farm is no longer
held by good farmers. To do good
work demands the best horse that can
be had.
1t costs no more to winter than to
summer a calf that must be fed on
milk and fall calf is ready to take adj
vantage of the growth of grass in the
spring, while spring calf must be win
tered on dry feed.

About Ducks.

Ducks are very useful class Of poul
Try. They en- be kept most anywhere,
are easily confined, and eat nearly any
thing that is at all eata bic, so that they
are prominently fowl for the poor
man. The Pclin is the most generally
esteemed breed, and it lays large,
rich egg. that brings five cents per
dozen more in market than hens eggs
While it is desirable to have a body
of water either fresh or salt for
ducks, it is not really essential, provid-
ing, of course, enough be furnished
for drinking purposes. An arm of the
sea offers favorable site for. duck cul-
ture, as much of their feed will be
! picked up by the ducks themselves in
the shape of oysters, CLANS, quahaugs,
etc; but there is one objection, how
ever, as the flesh of ducks, as we'll as
the eggs raised on fish usually is of a
rather rank, fishy flavor, not especially
relished by the most individuals. The
duck is great feeder, so it is impor-
tant that some kind of good, cheap food
be available, if breeding is to be pur-
sued very extensively
Ten or dozen ducks should GER
tainly find home on every farm, for
| theywill consume the waste from the
table, inferior cabbages and potatoes,
beet and turnip leaves, thus turning TO
good account what would otherwise
be wasted. | think it true beyond
much doubt that few ducks will turn
what they eat to more profitable use
than an ordinary pig will. The eggs
that are laid during spring and sum-
mer will go quite ways in supplying
the farmers table with most palatable
and nutritious food. Cor. Dixie Far

The development of the great re
sources for dairy ehterprisen the south
deserves careful attention, for one rea-
son, among Others that the mild win
ter affords the best opportunities for
butter and cheese making when all tho
northern dairies are in enforced idle
cess, or working under disadvantages
on account of cold weather. There are
creameries now Mt work in Tennessee,
Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina
and North Carolina, and there is no
good reason why this should nc! be this
case in all the southern states
Butter made in the winter might be
shipped to northern markets, and to
foreign countries whese the prices paid
are enormous. This foreign business
is now in the hands of the Danes and
French, and those countries do not
possess the conveniences that are found
in the southern states. The feeding is
so cheap that butter may be made for
ten cents perA pound, and the prof
from the manure that would be made,
and which is 50 much needed, would b,
equal to half as much.
The conditions of the season are rc'
versed in the south, for the mild win.
ter affords equal advantages for but
termaking that are enjoyed in
the summers of the north, with
a large preponderance in ia
vor of the south. Dairying would
cheaper the cotton product, for il
would fit the soil well for this crop
and would supply the best manure fol-
it.
In the southern mountains the bust
ness may be carried on every day in the
year, and the fine grasses there grown
with the cheap pasture in the cool sum
mers in the shady woods, where a va
riety of grasses and edible weeds ant
the numerous cool springs afford th(
finest facilities for summer dairying il
the whole country. Butter of the fines
quality may be there made for less cos
than elsewhere in the world. Shippers
