The United States consul at Rheims, France, says that English horse meat is put up in cans in Holland; and after American labels are pasted on the cans they are shipped to France and other neighboring countries. When horses in England have become so old and worn out that they are no longer of any use they are shipped to the canning facto- ries iI Holland About 26,0oO horses are used in this way every year Of course, the stuff is not sold as horse meat, but as fine canned beef

TO MAKE THE SOUTH RICH AND
PROSPEROUS

The central thought running through
out the entire convention of the Ameri-
can Cotton Growers Protective Asso
citation, recently held at Memphis, was
smaller acreage. Appeal is made to
growers for co operative action in
planting the new crop. In the report
of the committee, of which Hector D.
Lane was chairman, congratulations
were expressed that the appeal made a
year ago was so generally responded to,
and that the 50 crop made upon the
diminished acreage, has had the effect
t greatly increasing the price and
bencfting the entire South. Itis pointed
out that the latest crop, though esti-
mated 3, 400, 900 bales short Of the crop
OF 1894, was IN the market8 of the world
worth more by nearly $50 OO0 COO The
.cOncensus of opinion among many of
the best thinkers interested was that
if the crop could be held within the
limits of 1000, 900 bales annually for
10 years, the people of the S urhern
States would be the richest and most
prosperous in the world It was urged
that the fight be continued on the lines
laid down, restricting the production
Of the staple; that the cotton States
must be made self-supportjng; that
more land must be put in clover and
grasses for hogs to run ou, and farm
crops more generally diversified in
order to attain best results.

EXPERIMENTS IN IRISH AND
SWEET POTATO GROWING

Dr. B D. Halsted, State Botanist OF
New Jersey, in lecture on the years
experiments with root crops, says:
Using lime at the rate of 800 bushels
per acre, corrosive sublimate at the
rate Of Sc gallons diluted 1 to 1000
with water, also, sulphur at the rate of
300 pounds per acre, and Bordeaux
mixture at the same rate as the corro-
sive sublimate, on Irish potatoes, the
result Of the experiment proved that
the use Of the sulphur was the most
etfectual, leaving but per cent. of
scabby potatoes. The Professor recon-
mended rolling the cut seed, first in
the -four of sulphur, aud applying the
balance in the row. The experiments
carried on at the station, as we'll as on
the farm of J. II. Denise, of Freehold,
on soil badly affected by the ecab, both
resulted in favor of the sulphur. Those
treated with lime being exceptionally
scabOy, as we'll as those where nothing
was used
He also showed the result of expert
ments made on the farm of G. w. Jes
sup, of Cinnaminson, for the soil rot in
the sweet potato, using as high as l 900
bushels Of lime per acre, and sulphur
at the rate of $50 pounds per acre, sui
phur proving IN this case also more
ttf4ctual for the soil rot. The Professor
showed by illustration the wonderful
result of spray ing potato vines with
Bordeaux mixture to prevent the blight
The result was very marked, the un-
sprayed plot yielding 80 bushels per
acre OF inferior tubers, while the
sprayed plot yielded 225 bushels of
superior potatoes.

AGRTCULTURE.

We believe that our farmers are go
ing to carry out the start made toward
intensive and diver sjfied farming.
All kinds Of fertilizers are good, but
none OF them beats home home tertIll-
zors. See that you have a good manure
pen and save everything.
One hardly knows what he will plant
this year, prices are so universally de
pressed. But fruit aud vegetable grow
ing, under favorable conditions, will
be favored.
North Carolina farmers need to keep
I'D with the modern improvements
such as wire fencing, incubators, i'm
proved machinery Of all kinds, and
blooded stock.
The South must come to the conclu
sion to grow more of other crops and
less of cotton and the North must turn
most of it's wheat fields into other lines
Of production.
When blue grass first began to ap
pear in Illinois the question was, how
to get rid of it. It often happens that
better ways and crops come to our
notice by chance.
The breakfast food made at the Taco
ma, Washington, mill, out of wheat Is
growing in popularity, and 10 taking
the place of Oat meal We predict that
its sale will increase manifold.
1t is admitted that more brains are
required in successful farming than IN
any other calling. Tnen young man
can make name for himself as a
farmer as we'll as ne can at any other
business. Pluck and push, backed by
brains, viii bring success.
The farmer who has obtained high
priced sg0oE IS some times tempted 5o
breed rom H. too young It Is natural
that he an0lId want to make it re-
mune- alive as soon as possible but
until ANIMALS are reasonably we'll de
veI02.d Jgay are not Ia a condition 10
be prof.loI5 as breeding stock.
1t was formerly thought that what
ever cattle c1u}d obtain III the fields il
the late fail was q clear gain to t4eir
owner, out farmers VINO have studied
their business closely have come to the
conclusion that lase grazing is an in
jury to the grass plants, and that
frosted material is Of very little value
for feeding.

EASY TO RAISE.

The breeder Of draft horses has sew
eral compensating advantages. For
instance, he has fewer misfits, his colts
will stand rougher treatment, az d if
they should get injured by barb wire
or otherwise the depreciation in value
thereby is very slight. In addition to
this the finer bred colts demand a GER
tain amount of breaking, handling,
training and fitting Dor which the aver
age farmer has neither the ability nor
the time. While, says a we'll known
horse breeder in speaking of this mat
ter, admit the possibility of an intel
ligent breeder getting much higher
prices individually for fine roadsters
and coachers than he can hope to OBJ
tain for draft horses, I believe that the
average farmer, situated as he is, will
more generally find it to his best inter
ests to stay by the draft horse; and if
he raises half dozen draft colts in a
season they will net him at maturity
more money in the aggregate than the
same number of rOadsters.

OF 81 O75, and the Short Horns S. O23,
or daily average per head to the Jer-
seys Of 80 337, and to the Short Horns
OF 50 239. By the rules, the increase in
live weight was credited at A cents
per pound, and the Short Horns, true
to their breed characteristics, cut down
the amount Of profit very materially,
as they gained an average of 8 lbs. per
head per day, equal to over 13 cents
per head per day, the average value Of
the Short Horn gain in weight being
50 SO per head, to SO. 964 for the Jer-
seys. Notwithstanding this unprece,
dented gain, the Jerseys were again
victorious, in the quantity of milk,
quantity Of solids other than butter fat
and in the net profit, and were declared
to be the winners.

WILD ONIONS.

No sooner do the mild days even of
winter come than we have enquiries as
10 how to get ri1 of these pests. The
first few warm days make them spring
out of the ground, and they afford the
first bite of green food for the sock,
which eagerly gr8z3s upon them. If
this stock be mich COWS, we have spOilt
milk and butter, and remedy wanted
for the destruction Of the nOxiOus weeds.
We know Of no means of getting rid Of
the onions except by adopting a short
rotation Of cultivated crops, aid by the
growth Of COW peas, crimson clover, or
other su5Cherlog crop when not in g
cultivated crop, As the onions prOpa
gaga not only by the roots, bu5 by top
seJz;" these latter must be prevented
from forming by cutting the clover or
grain crop for iced before the top sets
form. The obstruction Of the tops will
weaken the roots, aud eventually kilI
them, even without cultivation Of the
land, but the process is a slow one. By
cultivation, the roots may be exposed
to the action Of the sun and wind, and
thus be destroyed. If the onions infest

WORLDS FAIR DAIRY TEST NO.
a., HEIFERS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
This test was for period of 81 days,
from Sept 80 to Oct. 80, 1898, inclusive
The original rules provided that it
should be for 80 days, and that the
value of the products should be ascer-
tained in the same manner as IN Test
No. 2-by the churn and analysis Of
the solids other than butter fat. But
inasmuch as these tests had cost the
Worlds Exposition authorities over
$73 OOOup to that time, Chief Buchanan,
on the ground of economy, changed
the mode by which the butter was as
certained by dispensing with the churn,
and having the milk Of each COW and
OF the breeds analy zed in the la6ora
tory by Prot Harrington, and the fat
ascertalned by the Babcock oil test
From this fac5 the butter was estl
mated upon the basis of 50 per cent.

butter 50 aacerCainod was valued a. 40
cents per pound. The solids other than
butter fat we're valued az 81 per hun

The heifers we're to be less than three
years cid on the fist OF September,

limited to not more than ten and not
less than five head. TIE Jerseys en-

WATCH THE MIXER.

Mr.. J. G. Spicer before the Illinois
Dairyman's Association, called atten-
ton to very important matter, in
saying that the habit of some mixers
of keeping the teas of the COWS wet
while milking is very far from being
commeHdable. But we find it quite a
task some times to remedy the evil
with new men who have before prac-
ticed that way. mot much. they say,
''drips into the pail from the outside. "
I ask ''how much Of that would you
like in your milk or coffee for break
fast9" and that usually ends the argu-
ment and remedies the evil. II not,
better discharge or put the man at
some other job that has no connection
with the production of human food by
way of the dairy. Care in the highest
sense Of the word should be followed
by all mixers, that the milk may be
absolutely clean and free from bad
OdOrs when drawn. The atmosphere
in which the milk is kept must bepure.
Nothing is more susceptible to bad
odOrs than milk and cream, and when
from any cause that has been intro
duced into either of them, the flavor
most desirable and considered by ex
pert judges to be so per cent. of the
real value, is driven out.
