But even here we have some cold
days in every winter. and the careful
farmer will see that his animals are not
exposed to cold draughts or biting
winds. Nail on all loose boards and
get everything about the farm in neat
and convenient order for the winter
months. The living house, outbuild-
ings, fences, bitches. terraces, all usu.
ally need few touches. 1t is particu.
larly important on all land sown in
grain that arrangements are made for
carrying off all surplus water. Moth.
ing is more injurious to a grain crop
than to allow water to stand on the
land.
FILLING sILoS AND SAVING SHREDDED
FODDER.
In packing the green crops in the silo
do not be in too great haste to complete
the work. The whole mass will be in
better condition if the filing is done
every alternate day. II one is careful
in filling and packing the corners,
and if, after the silo is filed and
tramped the contents are covered with
a layer IL or 10 inches in depth of

similar substance, and this well sprin.

that the whole will not consolidate and
seal up the silage. effectually preserving
it from injury.
In saving the shredded fodder, that is
either the bare stalks shredded, or stalks,
leaves and tops all shredded together,
great care must be exercised to have the
fodder free from dampness, that is from
rain or dew. No matter how dry the
stalks may appear outwardly there is
always more or less natural moisture
inside, but this will not prove at all In.

fully packed and the air thus excluded.
The natural moisture will cause the
mass to heat but this will improve
rather than injure it, provided it is left
undisturbed until the fermentation
ceases. If disturbed before the heating
is over, it will cause the mass to
mould. We are yet novices in this
new method of shredding or curing fod.
der, but each year will add to our expe.
rience and skill until the process be.
comes finally entirely perfected. A gen.
eral adoption of this plan will work a
revolution in southern farming. The
question of abundant forage will be for
ever settled. and more stock and better
stock will be a comparatively easy
achievement

"Put yourself bit straight" said John.
Joe gave a pull at his necktie and a
witch at his jacket, and was off in a mo-
ment. Our master being one of the county
magistrates, cases were often brought to
him to settle, or say what should be done.
In the stable we heard no more for some
time, as it was the mems dinner hour, but
when Joe came next into the stable | saw
he was IN high spirits; he gave me a good
natured slap, and said, ave won't see much
things done, will we, old fellow" We
heard afterwards that he had given his
evidence so clearly, and the horses were
in such an exhausted state, bearing marks
OF such brutal usage, that the carter was
committed to take his trial. and might
possibly be sentenced to two or three
months in prison,
1t was wonderful what chance had
come over Joe. John laughed, and said he
had grown an inch taller in that week,
and believe he had He was just as kind
and gentle as before, but there was no more
purpose and determination in all that he
did,-as if he had jumpel at once from
boy into man.

THE CONDITION OF CROPS.

COTTON.
Since my last report Of Sept. 1, disas-
ter has overtaken this crop all over the
state. Rust and shedding and drouth
have done their work, aided in some
counties by caterpillars, and think 1t
fair statement to say that the prospec.
tive yield is rs per cent off from what
it promised to be month ago. / have
been in all sections Of the state during
September, have observed the crop
closely myself, and I have talked with
experienced farmers from many coun.
ties, and l venture the assertion that
Georgia will make no more cotton than
she did last year. In addition to this
disaster, the price has declined more
than cent a pound in the same time,
and our farmers are now face to face
with small crop and the price in most
cases below the cost of production. The
crop is being rapidly gathered and on
many farms where rust appeared, early
picking is practically over. Should good
weather continue for a few weeks
longer the crop will all be gathered. as
there Is very little top crop anywhere in
the state.
Fortunately this crop is good, gener.
orally, though a few counties report
short on account of local drouth. It is
fortunate that our farmers will have
but little corn to buy, for there will be
little or no money left in their hands
from the sale of their cotton. I advise
every farmer to save his corn carefully
and allow none of it to be wasted, for
corn promises to be higher in price next
year than it has been for year or two
past.
OTHER CROPS.
Rice is reported good from the coast
counties, where the bulk of the crop is
raised, and no severe storm having &C.
Cured in September most of it is now
safely harvested. Sorghum and sugar
cane have made fair crops, though the
latter has been retarded in growth by
dry weather in the early summer The
crop of peas is good aud they should be
gathered in spite of the pressing de-
mands of the open cotton. Peas sold
this year in Atlanta from 81 to ST..
bushel, and every farmer that has
them should at least save his seed, If
no more. A great deal of fine fodder
and hay has been cured and housed,
and this good work should still 60 on
wherever rains have kept the grass
green and nutritious
Groundpeas and sweet potatoes are
an average crop, and will go long
ways towards fattening the killing
hogs, particularly In South Georgia,
where groundpeas are largely planted
for this purpose.
STOCK
Are generally reported healthy and
in good condition. and with plenty of
corn and fodder are likely to continue
so. Some reports of cholera. but less

CHAPTER XIII.
EARLSHALL.

The next morning after breakfast, Joe
put Merrylegs into the mistress low chaise
to take him to the vicarage; he came
first and said good-by to us, ard Merrylegs
neighed to US from the yard. Then John
put the saddle on Ginger and the leading
rein on me, and rode US across the country
about fifteen miles to Earlshall Park,
where the Earl of W lived There was a
very fine house and great deal of sta
bling. We went into the yard through a
stone gateway, and John asked for Mr..
York. 1t was some time before he came.
He was fine-looking middle aged man
and his voice said at once that he expect
ed to be obeyed. He was very friendly
and polite to John. and after giving US a
slight look he called a groom to take us to
our boxes, and invited John to take some
refreshment
We were taken to light, airy stable,
and placed in boxes adjoining each other,
where we were rubbed down and fed In
about half an hour John and Mr. York,
who was to be our new coachman, came
in to see us.

that horses have their peculiarities as we'll
as men, and that sometimes they need DIFF
ferent treatment. l should like to know
if there is anything particular in either of
these that you would like to mention"
"Well said John, L don't believe there
is better pair of horses in the country.
and right grieved l am to part with them,
but they are not alike. The black one is
the most perfect temper l ever knew;
suppose he has never known hard word
or blow siLce he was foaled, and all his
pleasure seems to be to do what you wish !;
but the chestnut, I fancy, must have had
bad treatment; we heard as much from
the dealer. She came tous snappish and
suspicious, but when she found what sort
of place ours was, it all went off by degrees,
for three years have never seen the small
est sign of temper, and if she iswell treat
ed there is not better, more willing ami
NAL than she is But she is naturally a
more irritable constitution than the black
horse; flies tease her more; and if she
were ill-used or unfairly treated she would
not be unlikely to give tit for tat. You
know that many high-mettled horses will

"Of course" said York, 81 quite under
stand but you know it is not easy in sta
bles like these to have all the grooms Just
what they should be. l do my best, and
there l must leave it. I'll remember what
you have said about the mare"
They were going out of the stable, when
John stopped and said 81 had better men

never had one on, and the dealer said it

went on } he placed her carefully in the
carriage, while the house servants stood
round crying.

When we reached the railway station, |

to the waiting-room. | heard her say in
her own sweet voice, "Good-by, John God
bless you" l felt the rein witch, but ohm
made no answer perhaps he could not
speak. As soon as Joe had taken the
things out of the carriage, John called
him to stand by the horses, while he went
on the platform. Poor Joe he stood close
up to our heads to hide his tears. Very
soon the train came putting up into the
station; then two or three minutes, and
the doors were slammed to; the guard
whistled and the train glided away, leav-
ing behind it only clouds of white smoke
and some very heavy hearts.
When it was quite out of sight, John
came back.

never" He took the reins, mounted
the box, and with Joe drove slowly home
but it was not our home now.

QUESTION Il tried a small plat in
sand vetch as an experiment, but it
spread so close to the ground that l am
convinced on large scale it would be
an exceedingly difficult crop to gather
/ believe it is as valuable as crimson
clover, as a winter crop it is better
adapted to dry soil, and If this difficulty
can be overcome it will become one Of
our most valuable crops. Can you sug.
gest plan for successfully saving itY
ANSWER 1t has been found that if
vetch is seeded with wheat or rye, the
latter will hold it up and prevent it
from spreading so close to the ground.
1t is richer in albummoids than clover
and stands the winter equally as we'll,
but it should be cut before it becomes
too woody. State Agricultural Depart

Money Made by q Blacksmith.

Tacoma once had mint that coined
all OF the money in circulation where
the City of Destiny now stands, and,
it did not require the fat of Uncle
Sam, the silver of Idaho or the gold
of California to make the pieces from
Tacona's mint pass current among
Indians and the few hardy pioneers
that were blazing the path of civiliza-
ton through the forest on the shores
of Commencement Bay.
Back in the early seventies the
Tacoma Mill Company, not being able
to handily secure gold and silver for
use in trading with and paying off the
Indian laborers and early settlers, hit
upon the novel plan of issuing their
own currency. and to this end set their
blacksmith to work to fashion for
them, out of scraps of iron and brass,
pieces OF money, or rather tokens,
which conld be-used as circulating
medium. The pieces consisted of 40
and As cent iron tokens and brass 81
pieces. The 40 cent pieces were about
an inch in diameter, and the IS cent
pieces were about the size of the
present silver half dollar. The 81
pieces were oval in shape, about an
inch and quarter long, an inch wide
and sixteenth of an inch in thickness.
These pieces were stamped with the
figures showing their value, and read
lily passed current all over the country
tributary to the mill.
The coins. which are still preserved,
are roughly made, just such as any
blacksmith with ordinary tools might
make, and as q matter of fact during
the early years Of the mill company's
existence formed practically the local
circulating medium of exchange. When
the Indians who we're employed in the
mill were paid for their labor this
coin sufficed, as oil the trading they
did was with the little store run In
connection with the mill. The iron
and brass pieces were, of course, passed
among the Indians in trading with
each other, and as anything in the
way ofsupplies was purchased by them
at the mill store, the pieces were fully
as good to them as if they had borne
the stamp of the Government
Tacoma WASH Ledger.

Imitation Mountain.

Just now, at the office of the Geo
logical Survey, they are engaged in
building imitation mountains, for the
purpose of studying the way in which
the eternal hills were formed by the
crumpling due to the contraction of
the earth's crust. The coal basins and
other valuable mineral deposits in
many parts of the United States have
undergone just such crumpllng, so
that it shall resemble in consistency
the brittle rocks near the surface of
the earth or the plastic rocks which
are in that condition because of the
great pressure that exists even at
depths Of only two or three miles, as
the case may be. The mixture is cast
in layers of a given thickness by
melting and flowing it in wooden
trough.
When each layer has hardened it
is taken out, and number of layers
thus made are superimposed one up
on the other like layers Of jelly cake,
representing geological strata. The
next process is to place the layers in
a machine, piling shot on top of them
to represent the force of gravity,
after which pressure is applied from
the ends very slowly by a piston adj
vanced with screw. This causes
them 10 crumple up, and under the
artificial contraction they are found
to take precisely the forms of noun
tain ranges like the Alleghanies.

A New York electrician has discov-
cred method OF preserving eggs in
an edible condition for . number q
years. The only successful method
now is to soak the eggs in lime water,
which closes up the pores Of the she'll
and kills any germs which may be at
tached to them. Under the most
favorable conditions, however, this
method will not preserve an egg for
more than three months. The new
method is much more complicated.
1t is we'll known that an egg shell is
more or less porous, and that air
passes into the egg and hastens its de-
cay. In preserving eggs by the new
method the egg is first placed in
vacuum chamber, whichsdraws the air
from the interior. The eggs are then
painted with q composition which
renders them air tight. After this
they win be placed in barrels Of water
and subjected to an electric current
strong enough to destroy any germ
life which may be present. New York
