MAKE YOUR PLANS.

The month of January being the one
in which, probably, as rule, the least
work can be done out of doors On q
farm in the South, is most convenient
one for review Of the results of the
last years work and a planning of the
work for the coming year. In this re-
view, failures, as well as successes,
should receive at least equal considera-
tion. The lessons taught by failures
are often more valuable than those
taught by successes, and it is certain
that they are usually much more deep
ly impressed on the memory, and there
fore not so likely to be disregarded.
They usually touch the pccket nerve, :"
and this is a most sensitive one. Sue
cessful farming being so largely de-
pendent on climatic conditions which
vary from year to year, it is impos ible
to lay down hard and fast rules deduced
from past failures or successes; but
these can and do establish principles
which have great bearing upon future
operations, whatever may be the eli
matte conditions. The failure to raise
good crop of wheat or corn in a very
dry year, teaches us that these crops
require a certain amount of moisture
for their successful growth, whilst a
failure to make good crop in very
wet year equally teaches us that an
excess of moisture is prejudicial. These
facts put US upon enquiry as to how
this moisture can be best conserved in
the event of another dry year coming
upon us, and how injury, from exces
sive wet, can be best prevented if that
should be the character of any particu,
lar year Southern planter.

POULTRY Y ARD

The Experiment Station of North
Carolina has established poultry de-
partment in connection with the Sta
tion and placed it under the charge of
an expert poultryman with the view
of thoroughly investigating and report.
ing upon the capabilities of North Caro-
lima as poultry section, and the adapt
ability of the different breeds of poultry
to the requirements of the people. We
congratulate the Station on this action.
There is a great future before North
Carolina and Virginia as producers of
chickens and eggs for the Northern
market, and the farmers of those States
should have placed before them all the
inform alton which the experiment sta
tions are capable of aft )rding on the
subject.

FEED FOR POULTRY DURING
THE WINTER.

For the successful production of eggs
at any season Of the year, it is neces
sary that the hens should have mixed
animal and vegetable diet. During the
summer months insects, worms and
grubs are 50 abundant that fowls hav.
ing a range can easily meet the require
ment for animal food. During the
winter, this necessity must be supplied
to them if the best results are to be
had. Meat scraps and green bones are
the best substitute, and should be fed
at least twice a week-better three
times. Meat and bones, at three cents
per pound. are cheaper than grain as
egg producing food, and should be fed
literally. Break the bones small enough
to be swallowed, and they will be eaten
quickly.
A fair comparison between grain and
meat will show that meat is really
cheaper than grain, because it increases
egg production. It also contains less
waste. A hen kept on grain appro-
PIRATES large share of it to the storage
of fat, which is not desirable, while
lean meat is almost entirely nitrogen
Gus. When farmers feed more meat
and less grain, they will have larger
profits from poultry. The Introduction
Of the green bone cutter also lessons the
cost, as cheap bones and meat can be
cut fine and fed without the necessity
of cooking the meat. The farmer should
not consider any kind of food expen-
sive if it makes the hens lay. The most
expensive food is that which produces
no eggs. Southern Planter.

RoYING WILD ONIONS.

{ O you give me some remedy for
destroying wild onions9 They are
about to take some of my land.-W.
r. W., Lewiston, N. @.
IAnswered by w. F. Massey, Horti
turist, North Carolina Experiment
Station
The only practicable way to get rid
of wild onions is by means OF sys-
tematic and short rotation, and the use
of smothering crops. Plow the land
before any top sets are formed, and
SOW field peas, two bushels per acre.
Cut the peas for hay, and chop the
land over with cutaway harrow, and
SOW in August crimson clover at the
rate of Is pounds per acre, with thin
scattering of winter oats. Cut oats
and clover together for hay, and put
the land in corn, and follow with win
ter oats and red clover. By the time
this oat crop comes off the onions will
be about gone.

RALEIGH, N. c., JANUARY IA, 1895.

q somewhat larger box of any descrip-
tion and fill around with dry sawdust,
planer shavings, moss or chaf, in such
a manner as to provide an exit for the
bees. Put a rainproof cover over the
whole. Next winter when it blows and
SHOWS you will feel all the better for it
to know your bees are comfortable.
Very likely, too, you will take greater
interest in your bees next year and
make them pay better. Possibly one
of the boys, or even the girls, may get
interested in the bee business, and it
may start him or her into a way of
making a comfortable living in the
near future.

SOUTHERN FARM LANDS.

Is not an acre of land in the South
that will produce in year more reve-
nue. than an acre in Iowa, Ohio and
New York worth intrinsically as much9
And yet, while land in the last named
and other Northern States is held at $50
to 800 an acre, land in the South,
capable of yielding more money in a
year, can be had for from 81 to $40 an
acre. The price is low because there
are millions of acres more than the
present population can cultivate. AS
the population increases through i'm
migration, prices will rise. Prices are
now much higher than formerly in
some localities. Can the Northern
farmer afford to go on cultivating
high-priced land that will never in
crease in value, when for tenth to a
fourth of the value of his farm he could
get another in the South on which he
could make more money and live in
more comfort, and which would be
getting more valuable every year9-

MgAT THAT IS WASTED.

A large quantity of excellent meat
suitable for poultry is wasted in the
country every year. Old horses that
are intended for destruction are as
suitable as ordinary beef for poultry.
More money can be realized from a
useless horse by taking off his hide,
feeding the meat, and using the bones
for fertilizer, than by other mode of
disposing of them. Any kind of meat
will answer for poultry. In Texas,
rabbits are used because they are plen-
tiful. Horses that go to the rendering
Establishment are converted into
ground meat" and sold in that form.
They can be used to better advantage
when the meat is fresh. A bone-cutter
will reduce both bones and meat to a
fineness suitable for poultry, and in
crease the number of eggs. In winter,
such meat will keep for long time. It
pays better to use horses for large
flock than to buy grain, as the extra
number of eggs secured will more than
return the cost of the meat. Meat will
induce the hens to lay when other
foods fail. Give more meat, but avoid
that which is very fat.

BEES IN WINTER.

The honey-bee has nothing of the
nature and constitution of the polar
bear. Although bees have some times
been known to winter under seemingly
most adverse conditions, yet, on the
whole, the more 'prote c5ion we give to
them the surer we may bring them
through the winter all right and the
surer will be the honey crop, writes a
correspondent of the Farm and Fire
side. Continuing, he says: A person
may be able to endure zero weather
without an overcoat; still, he would
probably take comfort with one-pos-
sibly live longer for wearing one. Even
should your bees be in unsightly box
hives, give them little protection. If
your hives have an empty chamber in
the upper part, fill in some dry moss,
fine hay, chaff, or something of that
sort. Set up corn fodder around the
hives, but be sure to give or leave a
chance for the bees to go out and in
whenever it becomes warm enough.
Instead of setting up corn fodder you
may also, or better, place each hive in

Have we ever tried to persuade them
to take an agricultural paper9
The old year is dead and gone and a
new year has arisen from it's ashes, and
as we step across its portals, we are
doubtless resolving to be more helpful
to our fellows than we have ever been,
and in carrying out these good resolves,
let us remember our duty to our fellow
farmers who take no agricultural
paper. Tell your neighbor the worth
of such a paper, and persuade him TO
take it. You do him a greater kindness
than if you gave him gold. This article
has been penned in the hope that many
farmers will thus be aided by those who
can render such assistance, Farmers,

NATURAL COLOR OF BUTTER A
MYSTERY.

Prof. Van Slyke, chemist for the
New York Agricultural Experiment
Station, is authority for the statement
that we know nothing whatever of the.
composition of the natural coloring
matters in butter. Whatever they
may be, they are mixed or united with
the fats so as to defy detection. So
far as chemists have been able to find
out, none of the several compounds Of
which either milk or butter is COM
posed issof any hue except pure white,
so that the coloring cannot be natural
part of the fat. Some have suggested
that color in butter is due to the shape
and size of the fat globules; in other
words, that light is the main factor in
color development.

THE DAIRY.
A SERMON.
Subject--Air-C Churns.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Text: Remember the air, churns
and escheW him." From last sentence,
sixth paragraph of "Dairying Fal-
lacies," by T. Fl. Hoskins, M. D.
DR.. Hoskins is, and has been for
many years, a sound philosopher. He
has always abounded in good common
sense-or horse sense, if you please.
When he strikes he hits the nail, plum
on the head. He is a terror to hum
bugs, fakes and frauds.
This is what he says in "Dairying
Fallacies" about air-churns: For
some time it was thought (and churns
to carry out the principle were intro
duced) that the passage of air into
cream during the process of churning
promoted the separation of butter.
This idea is now exploded, and the
churns are found only in garrets. I
allude to it only to show, in the light
of what will be hereafter stated, how
far away from any true conception OF
the facts the minds of many must have
been when such theory could have
had currency"
Further on in the article quoted from
he referred to the Current" theory Of
cream raising, and showed the absurd
ity of it. He closed the paragraph as
follows: Whenever you hear one of
these current theorists holding forth,
you will always find thet he has new
patent setting can in the anteroom,
which he would like to show you. Re-
member the air-churns and eschew
him"
The fools are not all dead, and just
so long as some of them are alive, and
especially about OF ce in certain num-
ber of years, when a new crop has ma
tured, the air-churn man will come
around. 1t is now several years since
an air churn has been offered to the
public, hence the present may prove q
good time to spring that article OncA
more on the dairy public.
The writer was reminded of this
matter by receiving from Chicago a
circular relating to an air.churn. The
circular claims for that particular air.
churn all the old claims made score
aud more of years ego and exploded by
DR.. Hoskins, June 295h, 1873, in the
Rural New Yorker.

makes absurd claims, remember the

Try to improve your farm methods

Remember that it is not all in work,
Tor many of the hardest working peo
pie in all lines of business are the most
unsuccessful.
The art of handling tobacco is one of
the most important points in success

adds greatly to the appearance and

If you have not hitherto kept &C

once to so. Place a fair value on all
that is upon the farm on the 1st of
January, and enter these items in a

of all you spend upon and receive from

thus know exactly what each costs.

SOME LARGE STAMINATE
STRAWBERRIES.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
After the advent of the old Wilson,
now run out, the earnest efforts of
propagators to produce variety which
was a staminate Or perfect bloomer,
and at the same time highly productive
of large berries, long met with only
partial success. The reason is evident.
The staminate bloomer having a
double function to perform, that of
producing both stamens and pistils
(both pollen or impresnating dust are
functifying organs) it's fruit producing
power is almost sure to be much less
than that of the pistillate or female
bloom. When a staminate Cor double
sexed Variety turns out to possess the
productiveness of the pistillate, it is
the exception that proves the rule; and
in this case a very large exception.
But it was imperative to find a pol
lenizer for the largest pistillates like
Greenville & Co., variety rich in
pollen, which bloomed just with them
and.was also productive of large berries
matching the pistillates in sizs.
After testing all of promise in the
past ten years, I find Woolverton, Ten
nessee Prolific, Candy B9lle and Lady
Thompson the nearest perfect. They
are rich in pollen, will thoroughly pol
lenize the pistillates and come nearest
matching them largest in size. Thus
not lessening their market value by an
admixture of swell berries.
Where it is not desirable to plant
Distillates, the above four varieties are
mighty profitable market varieties. I
have no monopoly of them. They are
generally grown and we'll known.

THE MILK MAN MAY BRING

DR.. G. W. Stevens, of Liverpool, in
an address to an audience of santa
rians, made the following remarkss
For moment, referring to milk as q
cause of disease, I am strongly of the
opinion that it may leave the dairy
perfe ely pure and inocuous, to be.
poisoned subsequently by exposure to
foul emanations and contagia. have,
elsewhere referred to the danger to
which milk is subjected during the
milkman's round from door to door.
The cans are usually taken into the
house and never entirely emptied. Z
know of one instance where the can
was actually taken into the room
where a case Of enteric fever lay. Z
afterwards ascertained that there were
three cases of this disease In the same
street, all supplied by the same milk
man. The dairy and all connected With
it were beyond reproach from sani-
'tary point of view. Putting actual
disease out of the question, what prs
lection, may ask, have we while our
milk is liable to be exposed to the foul

many houses9 The absorptive power
