DIRECTOR HILLS, of the Vermont
experiment station, says: "The work
of the past five years at the Vermont
station has shown very strongly that
watery food does not of necessity make
watery milk, and that cows on early
pasture make not only more but richer
milk than when barn-fed earlier in the
year. This is particularly true of such
as have not had as full barn ration as
they should"
SAYS correspondent of the Ne,D Eng
land Farmer: CDR. Hoskins says the
Red Canada and Fameuse have been
shipped 10 Europe from Montreal in
cases and sold from S. 70 81 per case
of bushe each in London. If they
brought those prices they did better
than Fameuse shipped from Boston.
1 shipped as fine Fameuse apples as
ever grew, wrapped in tissue paper,
packed in cases holding half barrel,
and they returned me S33 cents per
case, cost of case and packing 40 cents,
leaving 43t cents per case for packing,
growing and teaming to the station.
The same kind of apples sold for me
in Boston for $3.50 per barrel, express
30 cents, leaving $500 net per barrel.
Two cases make barrel, 80 1 got 81
cents barrel for those sent to Europe.
l should like to hear from others as to
their experience in that line."
j. @. COLGATE, in the west of Ben
nington, does not ask state aid in stamp
ing out tuberculosis. The manager of
his farm, says the Bennington Banner,
was led by the operations across the
border in Hoosick to keep an eye on his
herd. When one of the animals began
to cough the proprietor took things
into his own hands. A veterinarian was
called from Hoosick Falls and the tu-
berculin test was applied TO all his cat
tie. Thirteen responded to the test
and were killed. All were diseased,
though in some beginning only had
been made. Mr.. Colgate paid the cost
of the test and sustained the loss of the
animals. In this connection the Ban
ner pertinently says: In these matters
there is no sense in pursuing policy
of concealment. The fact that dairy.
man or farmer or milkman may have
his herd of cattle attacked, is detri-
mental to him only as he tries to con-
ceal the fact; if he applies the test and
can produce clean bill of health, in
this policy lies the path to patronage
by the public"

THE sheep is not so hardy as may be
supposed. Its wool is given as pro-
lection, but wool will not keep the rain
from chilling the sheep. They should
be sheltered and given straw for bed
ding, which will also keep them clean.

l had often read and heard about how
the captain was the great mogul aboard

for passenger to ask the captain any

in all this; if one passenger might ask
him, 40 might, and surely the command

We had been lying there three or four

came along the upper deck from the

cumstances it did not seem like a vio-
lently unreasonable breach Of salt water
etiquette to ask him what was the mat

MIAMI INCORPORATED.

Judge Stnart granted lncorpor-
alton to the town of Miami last
summer. and in the recent session
of court at MuSkOgee some citizens
OF Miami contested it before Judge
Springer and he sustained the
action of Judge Stuart, giving the
following order of court:
G. E. Middough brought suit to
set aside the order made heretofore
for the incorporation of Miami by
Judge Stuart last July A hear
ing was had September 10th be-
fore Judge Springer at MuskOgee,
Edwin G.. Hogan representing the
plaintiff and n. B. Maxey of the
firm of DenisOn & MaXey. repre-
sented the defense. The matter
was submitted upon the following
propositions:
1st: Whether the law authOriz-
ing municipal corporation in Ark
ansas was applicable here in the
Indian Territory, and whether
said law was in conflict with tie
treaties and laws governing United
States citizens within the limits of
the Territory, and whether it was
not in conflict with the laws
governing the various tribes.
2nd. Whether Congress had
constitutional power by direct
legislation to provide for the incor-
poratiOn of towns and cities, and
provide for the taxation of property
within the limits of said Territory.
3rd: Whether by said act of
congress, privileges were conferred
upon all male citizens of the
United States of required ages
residing within the limits of the
Territory the privileges of the
ballot.
Upon all the questions the
Judge decided in the affirmative
and made the following order;
Now on this day came on to lie
heard the petition in this cause
before Hon. William NJ Springer,
Judge of the United States court
for the Northern district in the
Indian Territory, at chambers in
MuskOgee and the defendant, hav-
ing file1 their answer thereto, Fsaid
Judge proceeded to hear in ii sum
mary manner said petition, Il e
plaintiff and defendants by their
council agreeing for the purposes
of this hearing that all matters or
issues Of fact raised by the plead
ings in this cause should be waived
and that the hearing should only
be upon the question of law, and
the court having heard the petition
and the argument of counsel and
being fully advised in the premises
dismisses said petition, to which
ruling of the Judge the plaintiff
by his counsel then and there
excepted and asked twenty days in
which to prepare and present his
petition for appeal, which request
was denied by the Judge upon the
ground that there is no appeal
from an order of this character, to
which refusal the plaintiff by his
counsel then and there excepted.

Advertise Your Products.

We would suggest to the readers OF
the farm department of the TIMES,
that it be made a medium through
which they seek customers. The cat
crop. for instance is. we think, with
few exceptions, killed by the frost, and
there will be demand for them.
We heard a subscriber short while
ago say he had the Burt, which is a
spring oat, for sale, and that it was a
fine yielder if planted in the spring,
but would not stand winter planting.
Now it ought to be in demand. We
would also suggest that in many in
stances where people reside a great
distance from Canton, that it would be
best to bring seasonable products, that
would soon sell, to some merchant or
warehouse in the town SO as to be ac-
cessable to the majority of purchasers,
We presume for a small pecuniary
consideration they would store and
deliver such products, and possibly if
a regular customer, would do It gratis.
Try it and see how it will work.

The French Breeds.

The French breeds of poultry are
eminently practical ones as far as profit
is concerned, though no one ever accns-
ed any of them of being very beauti-
full. These breeds are named Creve
Occurs, from the shape of the comb,
which resembles a cleft heart, the
meaning of the name in English; La
Flesche, named from the place where
they originated, and Houdans, from
the town where they were first bred.
Of these breeds, the Houdans are
about the only ones that is bred to any
extent in this county. They are crest
ed or topknot breed and have five toes
on each foot. They are a remarkable
meaty breed, and in this respect stand
at the lead, probably of any other
breed described in the standard. They
lay very large white egg and a great
many of them. They are hardy and
good foragers, and as farm fowls, are
excelled by no other breed.
The other French breeds are black in
color and the prejudice against that
color in this country has, no doubt,
something to do with their rarity for
they are very profitable.

Irish Potatoes,

We have on several previous occa-
sions alluded to the culture of this
crop, which for life sustaining nutri-
ents, ranks among the first edible pro-
ducts. 1t is to the Irish scotters" what
corn is to our laboring people. The
ease with which this crop can be pro-
duced and the abundant yield on good
ground, and the fact that two crops
can be grown on the same land in one
season make it a most profitable crop.
We met drummer last fall represent
ing a Memphis firm, VINO said that he
would buy all that could be raised at
Canton this year by the car load. We
will aid all raisers of this and other
truck crops in finding purchasers. Let
all who plant, do it at cnce, SO as to
have the crop early on the market.
The trouble bout most crops raised is
want of fertilizers. If you have not
sta BILE manure, use cotton seed meal,
and plenty of it, broadcast. just in
proportion as you fertilize, just in that
ratio will you be rewarded, not only
in this, but all other crops.

Saving Sweet Potatoes for
Summer Use.

January is the proper month in
which the supply of sweet potatoes for
late spring or summer use should be
put up. Select, in dry, warm day,
from the bank" cellar or potatoe
house, sound, smooth and perfectly
dry tabers; then pack away in boxes
or barrels in clean and pure sand
which is entirely free from all moist
ure. Put down first a layer of sand
to the depti of about three inches,
then a layer of potatoes uniform in
size, and go that the tubers do not
touch each other Cover well with
sand, alternating with sand and pota-
toes, and then another layer of pota-
toes until the receptacle is full. 1T
kept away from light and moisture,
potatoes thus treated may be kept a
whole year without losing their quality
or flavor. prefer to put them up in
barrels headed at, both ends, because
of the ease and convenience with which
they may be rolled away to places ap-
propriate for storage. Boxes filed with
sand aud potatoes are heavy and diff
cult to manage. The sand to be used
for this purpose must be clean and abso
lutely free from ali moisture. 1t is well
to have it gathered in the summer pre-
vicus to use, and then kept in per-
fectly dry place until time for its use.
By January sweet potatoes have usu-
ally undergone all the sweating" or
drying-out process necessary in long
preservation. After this month there
Is danger of their beginning to sprout.

Corn dndsOatS for Horses.

The Utah Experiment. Station has
been experimenting on the relative
value of corn and oats for horses, and
below we give summary of the re-
suits, that will be interesting as prac-
tically settling the matter which has
been somewhat in dispute for long
time. 5
]. In this experiment with two sets
of horses, one set fed a grain ration
principally of corn, and the other a
grain ration principally oats, The horses
sustained their weight the better on
the corR~ ration.
.. The feeding was divided into
FIVE periods. Part of the time one
horse was fed in each set and part of
the time in two. In every period save
one the corn fed set did the better.
8. The feeding value of the rations
seemed to vary directly as the amount
of digestible matter that each contain
ed. &
4. A nutritive ratio of 1863 did bet
ter than one of 1862.
S. TO sum the three experiments,
we find: First, that during the sum-
mer corn and timothy We're not so good
as oats, wheat and clover, in maintain
ing the weight of horses; second, that
during the winter corn and timothy
did as well as oats, clover and timothy
in maintaining the weight of horses;
third, that during the spring and SUM
'mer corn, wheat or brad, and mixed
hay produced more gain than oats,
wheat or bran, and mixed hay.

Cheap Cotton Culture

see in your last a letter from Bal

doubts the ability CT Texas, competing
with the Eastern cotton states. 1
think by giving the gentleman my
way of raising cotton, will convince
him that we can raise cotton, not only
in competition with the Eastern states,
but with the whole balance of the
world. In the first place, use a four
row stalk cutter. Six mules will pull
the cutter. One man does the work,
cutting twenty acres day. Second,
use middle burster. with which one
man beds up five acres day, ready for
planting. Then use planting ma
chine, which sweeps off the beds and
plants five rows at time, and one man
does the work, planting twenty-five
acres day; four mules will pull this
machine. Third. as soon as the cotton
is well out the ground put on the
same machine a cultivator attachment,
and plow five rows at once. Six mules
will pull the cultivator, cultivating
twenty-five acres a day, and one man
does the work. As soon as get
through eultivating it the first time.
1 take the same machine, going across
the rows. BY this bring the cotton
to check. one man checking or chop
