GARDENING IN THE WINTER.

From the Southern Agriculturist.
Why let the garden plat of land lie
idle all the winter when it can be made
to produce many juicy vegetables which
will be enjoyed by all the family? Turn
over a new page on home life and winter
growing vegetables. There are number
of plants that grow slowly, but success
fully, In any of the states south Of Ten
nessee The writer of this has winter
radshes growing, spinach an inch high,
mustard two inches tall onion sets that
are three inches tall besides lettuce ana
turnips. These are all hardy plants and
will withstand the winter from Nash
Vile to the gulf.
AS soon as you read this article pro-
cure some lettuce of the Big Boston va
riety and SOW In the garden, to be eaten
on Christmas and New Year days. There
is another kind of lettuce that is crisp
and close heading called salamander.
Heads from these will sell at . to 10
cents per head. This will be an attrac-
tive feature to the housewives table n
mid-winter.
Caulfower seed can be sown now for
Early transplanting about the last of No
vember The caulinower can be as sue
cessfully cultivated In the south as any
where In the United States. and The
Agriculturist writes this article to IN
duce our people to try its cultivation
and 1t will ont only add to the comforts
Of the. table at home, but the plants can
be sold at a good profit.
Collards down south are largely used
as a substitute for cabbage. Ihey are
very hardy and the spring sown stems
stand two feet high and the leaves are
stripped from the STEM cooked with

happy with this dish. 1t is sure crop

JERSEY COWS AS MIXERS.

JERSEY COWS AS MIXERS.
An official test for 100 days was finished
at the Worlds Fair, ST. Louis, Mo-, on
October 18th. 1t was a public test under 4
Experiment Station supervision the COWS
being watched and their feed weighed,
and records kept by a corps of station
men directed by Prof E. H. harrington
of the University of Wisconsin, one OF
the foremost dairy authorities.
Twenty-Five pure bred Jersey COWS
were entered ranging In age from four
to eight years They were not selected
with a view to securing the very best
Of the bree1, though fair representatives
of the breed were wanted. Some very
good cows had to be left out of the test
on account of calving at the wrong time.
1t is not claimed that these are the best
twenty-five Jersey cows in the world, but
the circumstances under which they
made their splendid records will impress
readers who may have some doubts of
the Jersey cows capacity, persistency
and richness as a mixer
During the 12O days or four months the
% cows gave a total of 124,5242 lbs. of
milk a daily average of Ave lbs. Tor
each COW for every day of the test The
highest yield by a single COW was
5,8027 lbs, o. 4S.3 lbs. per day. The low

An average Of ave lbs. of milk a day
for four months by % registered Jersey
COWS, made under official and public SUI
pervison, certainly sets at rest any ar
gument that may ever have been raised
as to the capacity of Jerseys for milk
I'D y Hp said that

not the case. They quilted the test DO

Public Test Not Best.
The week before the test closed. one OF
the cows, which had been averaging
nearly fifty pounds. a day. fell off to
1854 lbs. or 22.6 lbs. per day for the week,
the result Of unnatural conditions. Dur
ing the cattle show at the Fair, when the
test stable was crowded with curious
visitors. the herd gave but 9,7OZ6 lbs. In

(when conditions were more to their IN
ing) they gave 99is.0 lbs.-a loss OF over
two hundr ii pounds of milk This is
stated merely to prove that the public
test can not show a cows best perform

What Is most conclusive as to the value
of Jerseys as cows for milkmen. that Is.
the evidence of their persistency in hold

The merchants and bankers of the
south should encourage slow selling be-
cause the prosperity of the producer
means prosperity in all the other ave-
nues of trade in the south. We will not
make a bumper crop. Most of the sta
pie has been gathered and ginned. Let
us determine to stand firmly together
and force the bear spectators to cover.
The present price OF cotton Is too low.
I urge every farmer to refuse to sell up
til the market readjusts itself. Have no
fear that the price will be lower. than
now Those who hold will get better
prices when the spectators are forced to
pay them. The producers are now
standing firm, but the spinners and spec
ulators hope to break their nerve and
cause a general rush on the market in
the near future. Let us prove to the
world that southern producers can as
sert and maintain their rights in the
face Of the strongest opposition ever or
ganized to depress the price of cotton.
Pay no attention to bumper crop est1-
mates. Let the buyers know that the
balance OF this crop can only be pur-
chased at prices between 10 and IL cents
per pound. Store your cotton at home
under good cover to keep 1t safe from
