BALES OF COTTON.

''The Lloyd's who can pack into
their vessels holds 10000 to $4,000
bales of Indian cotton, can take only
5000 to 10000 American, when, accord
ing to the ratio OF weights, they should
take in $4,000 bales. Consider this in
the figuring of expenses, where IS, 81,
s., etc, are paid per cubic yard for
ocean freights. What appears here in
the matter of ships holds equally good
in relation to transport wagons, room
taken up in freight houses, magazines,
and store-houses, ETC., all of which add
to the expenses. I am informed that
producers, as well as manufacturers,
have to pay enormous sums for
these unnecessary expenses. Besides,
the American planters waste large
quantities of unnecessary packing ma
terial. The losses by dirt, dust, mud,
bursting of the bales, by stealing, ETC.,
affect the producer and manufacturer
in about the same ratio.
The increased danger of fire in
creases the premiums on fire insurance
policies. The mixing of the bales and
the 'no-mark bales causes no end of
confusion. More secure packing, a
much closer pressing and greater care
in covering or wrapping up would be
of inestimable and permanent benefit
to the cotton trade of the United States
Planters formerly entertained a
fear that the enormous pressure used
in India would injure the fine fibers of
the American cotton, would make more
difficult the processes of cleaning, and
would cause the formation of small
knots that would injure the carding
machinery, but such belief has disap-
peared. The fact that Egyptian cot
ton, with as fine or finer and longer
fiber, has stood greater pressure salts
fies everybody interested that the time
has come for reform in American
methods of packing"

HERE AND THERE.

Many farmer makes hard times
for himself by leaving his stock and
implements exposed to the winter
storms while he talks hard times in
the country store.
If you can not find it convenient to
keep accounts of the different farm
operations, commence at least with the
beginning of the year to keep cash
account.
There is one lesson good many
dairymen have not learned, and that is
that the most profitable herd is the one
that is always improving; it should be
better this year than last, and better
next than this.
IL one-half of the manure that is
annually spread on the corr land was
used for grass, not only would the hay
crop be much larger and the pastures
last longer, but the land would be
more rapidly improved, and the profits
from the farm would be larger.
Some men find more profit in max
ing their own butter; others by having
it made at creamery. Those so situ-
ated that they can get special custom
ers of the best class, and who know
how to make the kind of butter they
want, will do better to make and sell
their own butter.
The most valuable horse to user
of horses is the one that will do him
the greatest amount of work at the
least expense. Such a horse may be a
diminutive pony, a speedy trotter,
general purpose horse or ponderous
draft horse, all depending upon the re-
quirements of the owner.
There is great deal of benevolence
among shiftless farmers. They are SO
extraordinarily good that they keep
many of their cows year after year
without a cent of profit. They are
kinder to their COWS, indeed, than some
times to poor and decrepit relatives.
Those they send to the poorhouse.
Mixed farming is commendable
when it doesn't get to be too mixed. A
farmer who has big irons in the fire
marked respectively grain raising, fruit
raising, hogs, potatoes, tobacco, horse
breeding, dairying and poultry, isprot-
ty sure to have the dairy iron scorched
every day, and, ten to one, his fence
corners are permanently choked with
briers-Ohio Farmer.
Homemade manure is more vslu-
able than any other, because it con-
tains greater variety of substances
than commercial fertilizers, but its
quality depends upon the materials OF
which it is composed, and the preserva-
ton in the heap. No two loads OF
manure are alike, and unless it is OF
the best quality the manure may mob
pay fog tue eest Of hauling 70 hs

THE vAGARlEs OF SLEEVES.
All Are Wide and Dropping, but the Va
riety iB Infinite.

riety Is Infinite.
No known style can be said to be
absolutely not in vogue this season.
Basques are at the height of fashion,
but round waists are also worn; plain
skirts have not gone out, but at the
same time overskirts have come in;
polonaises may be worn, both draped
and undraped; most dresses are elabor-
ately trimmed, but one is not conspicu-
Gus in plain gown; your wrap may be
coat or cape, your hat large or small,
and you are entirely la mode.
The only positive rule in the book OF
fashion seems to be that sleeves are
not high, but wide or dropping. 1t
would be interesting to study the evo-
luton of the sleeve. A few years ago
1t was SO tight as to interfere with the
circulation. There was almost no full
ness at the top. But gradually it
gained little fullness at the shoulder,
then added a ruffie standing straight
up. Growing larger and larger, it de.
veloped into balloon sleeve, which
appears now on SO many dresses. This
is slowly giving way to the tight-ft-
ting draped sleeve. The fullness is
pushed down from the shoulder as
much as possible, and in some sleeves is
caught again by straps, ribbons or
buckles.
One pretty sleeve seen in a tailor
made costume is rather more elaborate
than such gowns usually admit of. It
is made of amazon cloth. The lower
part of it is tight being covered with
straps buckled at the back seam. The
fullness is confined just above the
elbow with buckled strap, and over
it is draped a pointed capelet, which
is finished at the top with another
strap.
A pretty sleeve for dinner gown is
of glace' velvet trimmed with ribbon
and lace. The upper part, covered
with lace, is ornamented with ribbons,
terminating with a large bow at the
top. A cuff of lace finishes the hand,
The fashionable evening sleeve is
simply full drapery wound around
the arm, growing narrower till it
reaches the elbow, where it is fastened
with brooch of brilliants or some
fancy pin. 1t is headed at the shoulder
with galloon embroidery.
Another pretty sleeve, especially
practical for the made-over gown,
utilities the old rather tight-ftting
sleeve. A tremendous puff of silk is
allowed to fall over it from the shoul-
der, and the sleeve is cut short a little
below the elbow to show another silk.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
The COTTON BALE.
Another Chapter on an Important Subject
to Cotton-Growers.

Another Chapter on an Important Sdbject
to Cotton-Growers.
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz has sent
to the state department some interest
ing photographs showing in graphic
way the bad condition in which Amer
lean cotton reaches the mills in Ger
many. 1t is difficult to estimate the
loss to the growers of this country from
defective packing, but the amount is
very great The consul says the jute-
cloth covering is so torn before the
bales reach Chemnitz that the cotton is
exposed to mud, water, fire and theft.
Of the original six or eight iron bands
two, three, four and sometimes more
are loose or broken; the cotton bulges
out, takes up dirt and dust when in a
dry place, mud in the docks, sea water
when in the ships, and rain water
when on land, on wharves or in
transmission by boat, rail or wagon.
In transport every gust of wind
tears away pieces of the valuable
commodity. The wharves, custom
house floors, and freight cars are usu-
ally covered with pieces torn or dropped
from such bales; and the danger from
fire is great, for cotton ignites easily,
and sparks from cigars or locomotives,
famed by winds, even those caused by
the movement of a train or wagon,
could cause not only the burning of
the cotton, but of other valuable prop
erty.
"Contrasted with the, packing of
Egyptian and Indian cotton" says
Consul Monaghan, 1.-The American must
be regarded as very bad. Both
Egyptian and Indian have close, COM
pact, tough coverings, are rather long
and smooth, leave little or none of the
cotton exposed, are easily and plainly
marked, and are wrapped close and
bound strong and tight. Along the
sides the firms or sellers name ap-
pears. On both ends the kind of cot
ton is indicated to aid in Identification
should one end be torn off in handling,
as sometimes happens. Thus, in the
case of Indian and Egyptian cotton,
mixing of bales and bales without
marks seldom if ever occur; on the
other hand, with American cotton both
happen very frequently frequent
ly, hence the complaint.
THE Indian and Egyptian bales are
so tightly pressed, so we'll covered and
bound, that injury from fire, water,
dust, dirt, ETC., is minimized. Take
this table as to space occupied by the
different bales:

PRESERVING MEAT,
Timely Hints to Farmers in Hog-KilIing


Timely Hints to Farmers in Hog-KilIing
Time.
How to preserve meat, we do not in
tend for bacon in a fresh sweet condi-
ton, and how to treat meat we intend
for bacon, are questions all farmers are
interested in, and concerning which
we frequently find great lack of knowl-
edge, even among those who have had
considerable experience in handling
meat.
We frequently see meat that is in
tended to be eaten fresh, salted unnec-
essarily, and when sailing does harm.
Salty meat is an abomination to most
children, and to know how long meat
will keep under certain conditions,
without salt is quite an important mat
ter, especially to the young, whom we
