A HERALD man had the pleasure of

and enterprise of Mr.. Thomas, the
good people of the Hurricane neigh

used to journey over in camp-meet-

in one hour arriving at the train

that they were both perfectly green

that both animals possessed won.

Even at the present low prices of
wool, considering the amount of
capital invested, sheep may be made
to pay fully as good a per cent. of
profit as any other stock; but good
sheep must be kept, and in good
thrifty condition. Money is we'll
invested when placed in a good
grade of sheep, although the cost is
a little, more.
Sucking sows will usually breed
before their pigs are weaned, but it
is unsafe to permit this. Such close
breeding may be with success for a
season or two, but where they have
two filters year their powers of re-
cuperation will be exhausted after
the third or fourth time, and they
will farrOw litters which are failures.
With all animals, whether feeding
for growth or to fatten, it is the
amount of food which is digested
and assimilated which is of benefit.
If feeding to procure the best results
this must be kept in mind. Here
comes in the advantage of grinding
or cooking the food for the hogs.
Soaking the grain softens it; grind
ing makes it easier to soften.
Southern tiOcknasters can find
the purer rams only in the North.
Moreover, no matter for what pur-
pose sheep are grown, wool is an
object; and since the thicker fieeces
are in the colder climate, it is the
part of wisdom to go North for the
rams, and that every season. They
and their progeny lose in the weight
of the fleece in Southern chimes,
year by year.
When the lambs are to be taken
away from the ewes in the spring
there is need for greatest care on the
part of the shepherd to avoid the
danger from milk fever. Succulent
food should be withheld and the
eve put on dry food for few days
until the flow of milk is wholly
stopped, even at the risk of her re-
fusing to eat.
From the fourth week on the
young pigs need care on their own
account, as they want other food
than that from their dams, and, as
this is the most important and
profitable period of their lives the
attention given should not be him
dered nor slackened; and yet the
temptation is to bestow the. more
care to the Older hogs.
Young horses which have grazed
for the first year or two of their lives
near railway, or within sight and
sound of traction engines, have gone
through with an important part of
their training. 1t is well to make IA
little sacrifice in order to let this
young stock get used to the things
they are bound to meet in after
years.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-05-29

DO not hustle the new brood into
any old barrel nor box, but have
good coops ready for them; and a
shed over the coops is almost a
necessity in most climates. Even
a dish of summer rain, it it does not
drown the little fellows, will so
harm them that they will not make
a rapid nor vigorous growth.
When nature supplies the egg she
places the proper amount of moist
ure in it for perfect hatch, and,
therefore, fresh egg matches better
than an old one, as the moisture is
constantly escaping through the
shell. There need be no attention
to moisture when using the incuba-
tor until the brood is about to hatch.
If well fed and shut up for two or
three weeks at any time, geese are
ready for market; but this is not
their chief end, for they are a source
of profit all the year. They can be
plucked of their feathers two or
three times during the summer; the
feathers pull out easily when ripe
and dry at the ends, and bring a
good price always.
Keep Pekin ducks for the same
reason that you keep Emblem geese
because of the large number of
eggs they lay in season. They are
busily at it from January until har-
vest, and also in the fall. The feath-
ers of ducks ripen a little quicker,
being ready for plucking every six
weeks, instead of 10, and sell at a
price next to those of the goose.
Geese do not mature until about
the third year, and their eggs are
not trustworthy for Matching until
they are about 10 months old. They
are seldom troubled with the dis
eases so common to other fowls, and
those are more thrifty and grow
larger which are Matched early.
This is especially to be remembered
if raising for market.
To keep chickens from eating eggs,
keep plenty of ground bone, oyster
shell and fine gravel before the flock
all the time, that they may have it
at will. Then construct the nests
somewhere in a dark place, under a
shelf. 1t is well to feed a little salt
and meat.
Green bones, ground in bone
mill, contain meat, fat and marrow
in greater or less quantities, and of
this fowls are very fond it is an eX-
cellent food when given judiciously,
but one cannot trust the appetites of
the hens. If the bone is dry they
will eat just enough, and they can
be allowed free access to it.
Even if setting hen in box, it
is we'll to put earth in the bottom OF
it, with little straw over this. Re-
fuse tobacco stems or leaves are a
good addition, or little sulphur
instead. After few days give heT
dustIng with insect powder or
Scotch snuff. Beware of putting any
grease about her.
A thrifty Pekin duck, well fed and
cared for from the start, can easily
be brought to weigh four pounds
when 10 or IL weeks old, which is
about double that of chickens of the
same age, aud if ready for market in
June will bring a good price; but
there is good price for them at all
times if in marketable condition.
Ducks require more bulky food
than chickens, and are heavier eat
ers, but they lay a larger number OF
eggs. In winter they should have a
! little straw upon which to roost, and
this must be changed often, lest il
become foul. The farm wife should
part with all her other fowls rather
than her ducks.

ture should become members.
Agriculture.

While it is largely the custom of
our farmers to follow clover with
corn, it is an equally good prepare
ton for almost any other crop we
may wish to plant. Its mechanical
effect is hardly of less value than its
direct fertilizing virtue. 1t loosens
the soil by penetrating it, and, when
decayed, leaves the earth in fine
mechanical condition.
The farmer who has hauled his
manures at odd times to his pastures
and spread them evenly over the
ground can now go out and witness
the good effect of his work. He will
not be long in suspense hereafter as
to how to best manage his manure
heap. To let this product lie around
the yard until half its fertilizing
qualities are leached away is folly
When clover seed is sown very
early under the proper conditions
the young plants can not be de-
stroyed by cold snap late IN the
spring. Every day now they are
getting better rooted, and are better
able to stand the long dry spell
which often comes in early summer
To SOW clover the middle of April
may work all right if the season is
to be wet, but there is no certainty
as to that.
The rains of springs are usually
exactly right to take with them
deep down into the soil, the rich Ii
guilds of the manure which has been
spread up the pasture lands, and the
grasses take on new life. In turn
the stock get the benefit of it, and
the good effect upon the pastures
will be permanent.
1t is said that when the top of the
silage gets warm adding water caus-
es mould to quickly form as a
blanket over it, and seals the con.

ming over large tracts with a con.
fused idea as TO general results.
In some localities tarred paper col.
lars are used about cabbage plants
to keep them free from maggots. A
mixture of pulverised sulphur and
lime placed about the stems after
the plants are set out is certainly
efficacious. Scratch the dirt away
sprinkle the dirt close, and cover
with the earth again.
If too much trouble to spray the
plants in the garden with a to.
bacco solution when infested with
insects, at least procure the refuse
leaves and stems and use them ovel
the surface. Tobacco not only drives
away or kills insects, but it is an eX-
cellent fertilizer as well. If 1T can
be had for hauling, do not let the
chance go by.
The business of farming can never
be truly said to be overdone so Ions
as there is room at the top, and it i;

aim by giving his best attention, in
dustry and intelligence to whatever
branch of the business seems bes
fitted to his special circumstance

Stock.

While there has been a slight ad-
vance in the price a head of milch
cattle, enough to encourage an in
crease in the number raised through
out the country, there has been in
the past year a decrease in the num-
Der of other kinds of stock upon our
farms; but in milch cows there has
been an actual gain of 10 per cent.
We can market good mutton in the

Our Weekly Discussions.
CIV the mysterious Mack.

The republicans are SO elated at the
victories that have fallen to their lot IN
the past few elections that they think
victory il to attend them for all time to
come. Hence the idea that a nomination
is equivalent to an election, and hence
the great multitude of candidates. No
state is considered worthy the dignity
of statehood that hasn't at least one
favorite son, who has placed himself in
the hands of his friends" iii the vain
hope they may land his anatomy i'll the
chair now occupied by Grover Cleveland.
Each prospective candidate has follow
ing, and where there are more than one
in state, each will have some delegates.
Then when the convention meets what
trading there will bel There will he
plenty of sore hearts and possibly, and
by no means improbably, few sore
heads. Those who are defeated in their
race for the nomination can solace them
selves with the assurance that the demo-
Gratis will, figuratiyely speaking, mop
the earth" with the successful man OF
their party. The present course OF the
republican congress is notice to the vot-
ers of the United States that the repub-
Leans; as party, have again (for the
fourth, sor fifth time) outlived their USE
fulness. Contrary to the course OF their
friends, the enemy, the democrats are
not bothering themselves any i'll regard
to candidate; preferring to wait, look
their hand over carefully and see what
they have to beat. Unlesssome different
man than any as yet mentioned by the
republicans is nominated, the democrats
can beat him with the man having the
highest vote in their convention on the
first ballot.

1t is really amusing to note the death
~ silence i'll the republican camp anent
the silver question. 1t is but q short
time since the doughty statesman from
Maine, Reed, was volcing some pretty
stroug free silver heresy, and report has
it that that gesteman was promptly
disciplined 10y his party managers and
told to keep closer mouth in regard to
that question. Other leaders in the
same party seem to have listened to the
same advice, and while they would do
almost anything in the world to placate
the free silver republicans, they must, ii
they do anything at all, be very quiet
about it. The great trouble with the
free silver men is that they will be salts
fed othing short of a positive doc
laration by the republican party in favor
of their pet theory. This will never be
Forthcoming. The same old course will
be followed in their convestion-every
important issue will be straddied.

How the soul of ex-senator Edmunds.
of Vermont, would undoubtedly like to
find voice i'll the present congress of the
United States. For years he fought the
admission of Utah as state, by reason
of it's territorial escutcheon bearing the
blot of polygamy. He formulated and
advocated the passage ofmeasures which
had for their object the wiping OF that
wrong. Utah is now state and has
provision in it's constitution to the
effect that gpolygamy shall never be al
lowed by law,sor otherwise. But state
constitutions have been changed i'll the
past and will bein the future. Why not
that of Utah? Besides, in the same
august body in which Mr. Edmunds was
once such a power, sits O man as senat-
or who is the son OF Mormon Elder Can
non, q man who believes implicitly in
the divine right OF the Mormon people to
practice polygamy. 1t is a hard matter
to unmake a state, and although Utah
should in time SO amend her constitu-
ton so as to legalize polygamy, il is
doubtful if the government could do
anything more than to prosecute the
Molmons under federal statute, and
prosecutions sometime come to naught,
even government ones, when men high
in thecouncils of the nation intervene in
behalf bf the defense. There is no hope
OF electing senator's other than those of
the Mormon faith, as there aresaid to be
ten voters of that faith to one OF any
other.
