EXODUS FROM THE FARM.

A Jeffers in the Country Gentleman.
 Why is it that the cities are filling up
 with farmers from the farmss Why are so many young men, middle-aged men. old men, so ready to sell the farm and move from the pure, sweet, healthful in- fuences of the grand old country to take up restricted or contracted quarters in the noisy, dirty, wicked city?
 The man on the farm who is just able to make ends meet so to speak, is far ahead and more independent than the man in the city drawing salary of $500 to 5000 per annum. The farmer, although on small farm, Is able to have his own fruits and vegetables Gin this location) nearly all the year. He can have a flock of fifty hens, which will keep him in chickens and eggs, with plenty to sell; and with the money received there from can buy his coffee, tea, sugar and the few necessartes of life which he may not be situated to raise on the farm A good COW will give him his butter, cheese, milk, cream, etc. He can raise his own meat and bread, his own fruits and veg etables, his own grass and grain. In fact. he is the most truly independent man on the face of the earth.
 E You may fence the practical farmer off to himself and he will live longer than the workers in any other line, and fin this latitude if fenced off to himself, he will live longer than the farmers of any other section. because of the greater va riety of food crops he is able to grow.
 The salaried man is siclx-his salary stops short, like grandfather's clock. never to go again, until he gets we'll The farmer is sick-everythlng continues right along on the farm The rains fall. fba sun shines. the hens lay. the crops grow. the pigs fatten right along when he is

eRAss AND CLOVER PAYING.

From the American Cultivator.
 Pasture grass is not often considered a cash crop, and hay does not. perhaps, bring to the pocketbook, vixen sold, quite as large revenue as titled crops So farmers have preferred to manure the cultivated crops and to trust that enough fragments would be left over to satisfy the less insistent demands of the grass
 Of late, however more careful study of the situation has led progressive farm CTS to believe that the advantage lies in reversal of this process. To give the grass and clover the best of care and to feed them literally, allowing the neg lect In feeding. if there be any, to fall upon the titled crops, Is far better than 1t is to starve the grass and put all the added fertility on the cash" crop. Why :? Because the very root development and soil shading which have enabled the grass to utilize so well the natural food in the soil also fit them together most completely, and to use most efficiently, the scattered fertility which man dis tributes upon the fields.
 With the added growth the grasses make upon the extra supply of food there comes an increase in the number of roots to fill the soil with vegetable mat ter and an increase in the amount of scattered leaves, broken stems and re- fuse matter on the surface-all of which is of inestimable advantage to subse- quent crops. The soil is thus made fine and porous; the decay of green vegetable matter forms acids, which set free addi- tional plant food from the particles of earth; and the accumulated humus makes the ground like sponge to hold moisture for the next crop.

Seasonable Hints.

This Is now the season for sowing tlirnip seed and for preparing soils for fall gar dens. There Is too much comfort to be derived from a fall garden of fresh veg etables for this matter to be neglected. Alabama Is too well blessed in soil and climate to let the chance of providing an ample supply of vegetables for the family through the entire season. There is quite | line of vegetables that may be grown in the fall and furnish luxuries for the winter also. The Southern Truckers Guide, published by the Amzi Golden ! Seed company, Birmingham, contains a list of vegetables suitable for fall and winter gardens, as well as hints on plant ing and cultivation. There are a few things to be considered in the prepara- ton of the soil and in the planting of seed in the fall.
 At this season of the year the soil is likely to be dry or to dry out very fast when plowed, so that it is important that the soil be broken deep and made very me by the use of harrows and then rolled so as to prevent the escape of moisture. Here is where so many fail in securing a stand of plants from seed sown in the fall. In the springtime, when showers are more frequent, seed germinate quick | CT and stand Is more easily secured Then again, where the soil has been
 
 comes tired, breaks up rough and Is more difficult to prepare. Such soils need some | fertilizer which should be thoroughly in- corporated in the soil In fact the whole secret of success depends upon thorough | knowledge of how to prepare the soil be- | fore the planting and then how to plant and cultivate after psanting-and above | all, willingness to do these things at the right time and in the right way I want to repeat again that there are too many people who desire all these nice things who are not willing to perform labor enough to secure them.
 The laws of nature are unalterab1e l They are fixed and fixed for all time. The first man created was placed in garden with instructions to keep and dress the l garden, and his existence and prosperity depended upon his obedience to this law | and the same law governs us today. If we have the good things that our gardens, l orchards and farms are capable of pro- ducine we must labor for them. l Then again the fact that our days are longer, the heat greater and the nights short, and but little moisture from dew all these make 1t necessary that we delay ! the planting as late as possible. until tho | nights are longer and cooler. But during | this delay the work of preparing the soil by regular weely stirrings, harrowfnR. 1 rolling and fertiizing should |, carried on and the soil never allowed to become hard or baked to a hard curst.

CATTLE FEEDING.

From the Planters Journal
 The Louisiana Planter and Sugar Man ufacturer Is inclining to the opinion that the coming industry of the gulf states will be the production of beef cattle to supply the rest of the union. This opin- ion Is based primarily upon the boun- teous supply of natural gifts in the way of stock feeds in these ftates. and sec- ondarily, that the millions of dollars now being expended in the extermination of grasses and importing of beef from the north will be utilized in the production of beef to be exported north ward. It facetiously says that If any beef is to be embalmed, let us embalm it and send 1t to our friends north, where 1t will keep better than theirs will here" Not only can native and cul- tivated grasses bedepenoed upon in part for stock food, but these will be supple mented by low grade molasses, which Is getting in more general use as a profita- ble food stuff.
 Molasses as a stock food has been known for years to professional country horse traders, and 1t is a mystery why this Knowledge could have lain dormant so long, It Is about on a parity with the discovery of wheat as a horse food a few years ago, when corn was scarce and wheat was plentiful. This fact was known to some cotton planters before the civil war, but seems not to have oc- cured to farmers in the wheat grow ing sections until necessity brought about the knowledge.

Agricultural Department

 sick when he sleeps and when it rains' and on Sundays even.
 The exodus from country to city is not only disastrous to the white people or the south but is also disastrous to the colored laborers. The labor of the coun- | try seems to be "exodusting' to the cities. This is especially true of the col ored labor of the south. This, too, is working detrimentally to the agricultural development of the south. This move ment from country to city, both of the whites and of the eoiored people, is the cause, why so much land is offered for sale in the south.
 The small farmer here can have ten or more different kinds of fruit, thirty or more different kinds of vegetables, a dozen different kinds of meat, his own bread, both wheat and corn, butter, cheese, milk and cream, and. selling off the surplus not needed in him family, can thus secure the money necessary to pay the low tax, the boot and shoe bill, the grocery bill, the clothing and dry goods bill and still have something left for the rainy day" sure to come sooner or later to all.
 My advice Is, stick to the farm. No matter if but ten acres. if you manage 1t fairly well, you are more independent than the toiler in the city at $2.50 per day or S1500 salary per annum. We have on hand a whole bushel of facts, figures and features showing the advantage of the farmer over the man in the city en- gagged in any small business for himself, or at work on moderate salary for others.
 If any man will but take good care of the farm, the farm will take good care of him; will keep him comfortable all his days; will keep him independent while he lives, and pay his funeral expenses when he dies, and then be the best sort of heritage for his children after him.

FOOD AND CARE FOR CHICKS.

J. D. Clegg in the Country Gentleman.
 What do you feed your little chicksr l am feeding prepared chick food, some oatflake, cracked corn and meat and they do not seem to grow and I lose a great many" said a neighbor to me one day.
 The greater my experience with chicks the more am l convinced that the par ticular kind of food used is of little m- portance after all I care little what it is, whether johnnie cake, millet, oatf1ake, cracked corn, or others that might be named, so long as enough is fed-fed at the right time and in the right condi- tion No intelligent person would feed soft sloppy food, and more than they can eat at one time, but who of us has not seen chicks fed corn neal at the start and corn meal at the finish, with corn meal sandwiched In between, until they were old enough and big enough to cat whole corn? Of course they had the fields, the bugs and flies and the spark ling dew, and there choice of sunshine or of shade and a mothers breast, and they grew and waxed fat. We have seen other chicks fed the choicest foods than man cold mix, and yet how poor and sickly. They are so disappointing. wings dropping, bowel trouble, gapes and count less ills. Some die, and those that live regret 1t.
 What is the secret? Iris not food, not food alone. Iris care, common sense, reason. Iris knowing how and why and when. A man said to me the other day: q bought 100 chicks. incunatotr matched May 20. They are growing nicely. I have lost but three. I expect to have them laying by November 1' I asked him what he fed. Anything" said he, "any thing; oatflake, corn meal, buck wheat, wheat, boiled potatoes-anything that's handy" No three-cent per pound prepared chick food for himl He was en- dowed with sense enough to mix his own feed He keeps about fifty hens and is very successful in raising chicks and in gettin eggs.
 What is the secret? I repeat It, 1t is care Given good yard, not little foul, stuffy ones, with every vestige of green things consumed before 1t grows, and good thrifty chicks can be grown from infancy to old age on almost any mix ture grains. green food. meat. meal and clean water. But there must be clean, warm, dry breeders, not too warm, not times whenever they wish to occupy it But one cannot write it, cannot tell 1t. Zach must learn 1t for himself
