HOG KILLING TIME.

Every season on many farms there is Il
great bother through lack of conveniences
for quick and easy handling of the hog
crop. The job Of turning the pig into
pork is made far more difficult and eXpen-
siye than it need to be. Cooperation
among farmers should secure full set
of all needed conveniences in each neigh
borhood where the number of hogs each
farmer kills does not make it worth while
to provide a set for each farm. We have
often seen half day occupied in killing
and dressing three or four hogs. On other
farms, with better conveniences. 20 hogs
are killed and dressed in day. 1t is dis
agreeable and dirty work, therefore the
more need for getting through with it As
soon as possible.
Hogs after killing should be allowed to
hang over night, and if slightly frozen in
the morning it will be all the better Do
not. however, put the pork into the barrel
while it is frozen. as it will not take the
salt before spelling. The reason for this
appears to he that freezing the pork fills
it with air, which becomes filled with
microbes which are retained in the barrel
in contact with the meat as it thaws After
the frozen pork is thawed wash the pieces
thoroughly, taking care to get all blood out
of them. Rub salt into them before pack
ing in the barrel If no blood is left in
the pieces and weights are placed over the
pork to keep it under the brine, there will
be no difficulty in keeping it sweet the
entire year To make sure, it is well
toward spring to take the brine out and
boil it 70 remove any impurities it may
have gathered. All the scum that rises on
the brine is evidence Of what would cause
a good deal Of trouble if left until hot
weather comes

we will not stoop to gather by handfuls ar

some great revival, kind of wholesale

effort, it is more seeming than real, for as
the wide swath cut by the reaper is really
accomplished because each little tooth In
the cutter takes the few stalks directly in
front of it. so in the great revival it is found
to be individual work after all, each work

doing his own personal part. If he takes
his handful and his neighbors do the

COWARDLY CONSISTENCY.

The charge of inconsistency is the
charge made against every mover with the
times. But like most popular charges
they are fallacies. Not to be curious is
criminal To desire to be eternally coll
sistent is cowardly. Be curious when by
curiosity is meant the disposition to dis
cover whatsoever things are true and honest
and pure and just and right. Curiosity
thus understood is the child Of Rcasou-
Reason is the great ciyilizer. Reason is
treason to blind faith. Credulity is bar
barism. To think for ones self is to move

taunts you with being guilty of crimina

SOILING VERSUS FENCES.

Expensive as the old time fencing is, it
is still the rule in many sections where the
plan of stabling all stock summer as well
as winter is yet unknown. BY cutting
green food after the first soling crops are
ready and putting up enough ensilage to
last until soiling crops are ready again
more stock can be kept on the same land,
and if provision has been made for cutting
and gathering the soiling crop by horse

the interest on cost of fences and the labor
required to keep them in repair under the

The TimeS-Democrat of New Orleans is
Offering cash prize for "the best essay on
'The Present Agricultural Crisis in the
South and How 1t Can Best Be Met, -
moved thereto it says, by desire ''to assist
the Southern farmers in the present de
pressed condition of agriculture. due to the
low price of the staple products of this
section
The Times-Democrat is unfortunate and
behind the times in the selection of a topic
for its prize essay scheme. There is no
agricultural crisis in the South. and the
condition Of agriculture" is not ode
pressed" In restricted localities in the
South, and as to some Southern products
notably cotton, there are depression, debt
and despondency but this is not true of
the South us a whole. or of any large part
of it. The writer OF this has within recent
months been in different parts of nearly
every Southern state, and according to the
testimony of the farmers themselves, the
officials and business men generally,
supported by his own observations, the
farmers o. the South have not since the
war been before in as good condition as
they are now. Wherever they have not
made cotton their exclusive crop. they are
in more prosperous and promising state
than the farmers of any other part of the
country, and are more nearly out of debt
and are living better than for a generation
past.
There is an agricultural industry in the
Times-Democrat' S own State that is paving
those who are engaged in it probably more
in proportion to capital invested and care
involved than any kind of manufacturing
or mercantile business. The rice planters
OF Southwest Louisiana are not experiencing
any depressed condition of agriculture
