Pork In the Cotton States.

Our farmers are paying 12% cents per
pound cash for pork, and Is to Is cents
credit prices, says Col. Edwin Montgomery
Of Mississippi in the Country Gentleman.
The great bulk of the p rk consumed in the
cotton states is shipped in here from the
west. and yet in no section Of this broad
| union can hogs be raised so cheaply as In
our southern country. Our mild ch ate
which does not Eecessitate such heavy and
protracted feeding and such warm shelter
Is very much In our favor. Our lands are
cheap, labor cheap and fencing Cheap. We
can have good grazing for nine months of
the year. We have tho greatest variety of
foods to select from, all cheaply grown,
such as artichokes, chufas, peanuts cow
peas, sweet potatoes, and several varte-
ties Of clover that We might mention and
tnn6 flourish well in the south ON lands
adapted to their culture. For permanent
pasture none of the northern grasses can, in
all respects. equal our Bermuda. It. makes
a tough sd, aud the land once sodded will
afford continuous pasturage for life time
Grass Is the best and cheapest of all crops
for hogs as well as horses, cattle and sheep.
I There is no better grazing for hogs than
Bermuda. Then we have the Lespedeza
strata, which grows spontaneously all over
this southern country. Chemical analysis
has shown that 1t Is, in nutritive value,
dlOcA1 Va L0d NtONSLs An6lS OOuoT N6luS
able grasses of spontaneous growth that
supplement the above for pasture. When
the grasses fail there are many other crops
cbeaply grown aud harvested that give fine
results in growing pork cheaply.
There is no good reason why a single
pound OF pork should ever be shipped south.
The idea that much corn Is needed in order
to raise aud fatten swine successfully is only
imagination. We can grow the corn, but
We can grow other crops more economically
that are better for hogs and more cheaply
grown. We only need to feed little corn
a short time before Strengthening in order
20 harden the flesh, and even this is not alb
solutely necessary. 1t is foolish idea that
feeding much corn is essential to success in
swine breeding.
Our people in the south cannot afford, at
any price. to continue buying their pork
supplies from The west. There is no good
reason for it. The drain upon our finances
is too great The yearly expenditures Of
our southern people to the west for hog
products aggregate an enormous sum of
money. Suppose this were retained at
home and put mo circulation here.
how much it would add to the accumulated
wealth OF our section of country! Where
money is scarce it is hard to acquire prop
erty and amass money; but where money Is
plentiful and circulates freely, there is a
far better chance for all of US to get our
fingers on some of it. A country to be
prosperous must make the best possible use
gifts natural resources and capabilities.

subject later on.
Neglect not the garden. It is a great
help on the farm. 1t affords some
genuine luxuries in its highest develop

more hardy than that variety.
Each of Mr.. Yuille's six mandarin trees
produce fruit of exactly the same character,
which will establish the fact that the
mandarin comes true to seed, the trees all
being seedlings, of course. The fruit is OF
the very best quality, and always finds

freshness. We have lately seen and tested
fruit direct from the trees, and must pro-
nounce upon it as having no superior.

Bow Far Tree Boots Spread

The extent to which tree roofs spread is a
question Of practical Importance when ma
nurIng them is IN order, says an exchange.
We do not see so many fruit-growers piling
manure around the trunks of old trees, or
two or three feet from them. as used to be
common. That is very much like placing a
plate OF victuals at a hungry mans feet AID
then tying his hands. But though this
mistake has been unlearned, there is still
very inadequate notion as 10 now far the
roots spread. The popular idea, that is,
''about as far as the branches reach over
head" is generally inadequate. In
old trees that is most likely the
limit IN which there are few feed
ing roots, and manure can do least
good. Give an apple tree room and its
roots will extend twice or thrice the dis
lance its top would reach if PROSTATE on
the ground But usually old trees are
cramped tu orchards, and each occupying a
square of 20, 80 or 40 feet, their roots cross
and interlace in the fierce fight that ever
goes on in nature for more food, more air
and more light. The largest apple tree we
know OF was about four rods from the
farm barnyard, ZOO far away" the farmer
said. 'for its roots to get auY benefit from
the manure But its vigorous growth and
profusion of leaf and fruit told a different
story. 1t more likely had a monopoly OF
the rich soil under the barnyard, and had
crowded it's neighbors away from what was
enough for all.

How to Propagate a New Kind
happily.
correspondent Of American Garden
ing says: THE following is my plan for
making the most of a new variety that is
scarce and high in price: Bed the potatoes
in your hotbed after the heat is somewhat
spent mot too soon, as the heat needed for
starting sweet potatoes will cause Irish
sprouts are four inches high,
tage them off and plant them
out. Let the potatoes sprout again and re-
peat the plucking and planting Then, a
little while after, take up the tubers, cut
them in pieces aud plant them q so; of course
each piece must have an eye left on it. In
this manner grew my first three bushels
of Early Rose from less than two pounds
OF seed patatoes; they were as fine as any l
ever saw. Here the crop Of Irish potaJoes
was almost an entire failure last year, Ev-
eritt Six Weeks and Early Ohio excepted.

attacks the animal while grazing late in
the summer, its object being not to derive
sustenance, but to deposit its eggs. This is
accomplished by means of a glutinous ex-
erection, causing the ova (eggs) to adhere to
the hairs. The parts selected are chiefly
those Of the shoulder, base Of the neck and
inner parts Of the forelegs. especially about
the knees, for in these situations
the horse will have no difficulty in
reaching the ova with his tongue.
When the animal licSs those parts OF
the coat where the eggs have been placed
the moisture Of the tongue, aided by
warmth, matches the ovs, and in something
less than three weeks from the time Of the
deposition of the eggs the larvae have made
their escape. As maggots they are next
transferred to the mouth and ultimately TO
the stomach along with food and drink. a
great many larvae perish during this pas
siye mode OF immigration, some being
dropped from the mouth and Others being
crushed in the fodder during mAstioation.

Mandarin Orange in South Alabama.

Mandarin Orange in South Alabama.
The agricultural editor of the Mobile
Register says: Nestled among large
magnolia and other evergreen trees on the
bay shore, a short half mile above the
Daphne court house, Is a beautiful place
which the proprietor calls Magnolia Hill
1t is the country home Of r. ID. Yuille In
1875 the father OF Mr.. Yuille, who then
owned and occupied the place, found ship
ment of mandarin oranges in Mobile and
took few specimens. Being, at that time 3,
something rather new for this section, and
withal. something decidedly good, he
planted tie seeds. Six young trees we're
the result, which were transplanted to
where they were to remain the next year
1876. Those six trees are there still, now
large and in a highly hourishiug condition.
They passed unscathed through the terrible
billiards Of 1884 and 1885, which cut down
all the Ordinary orange trees along the bay,
including the supposed-to-be hardy sour
varieties; in a word, they have never sus-
tanned the slightest injury from either frost
or freeze, though the com mon sweet orange
has several times been killed by cold on the
same grounds, and IN some cases immedi-
ately beside them. Every year they bear
