Dad Murphy's Brevity,

Olu Dau Murphy aS hc was affec- tlOnately known tU the boys 0n the road, was q conductor on trunk line transporting large shipments or live stock from the west. Dad had beeu railroading had become second nature to him, and the result of the superin tendent's frequent orders to the train men to answer with military brevity all questions and messages, especially those by telegraph, to relieve the bur den on the wires had reduced Dad to habitually short. concise replies, eyeu to his conversation. On a baking hot July day, when not q breath of air was ktirring and the sun beat on the car roofs till the pitch pulled the soles off the brakeman's shoes. Dad in looking over the train discovered that eight hogs had succumbed to the heat. When passing the next telegraph sta tibn he threw off message to the su perintendent:
 Burhans. supt-Eight hogs dead acct heat, advise MURPHY, No. 7S At the second telegraph office he re ceived his answer:
 Murphy, Condr. 7s.-What is the present condition of the hogs? Ans. ok.
 BURHANS. Dad grunted, shifted his quid of fine cut and wrote as follows:

 What He Lost.
 4 travelling man was leaning against the counter in the hotel gazing dis consolately at the floor.
 Lose something?" queried the hotel clerk.
 A nod of the head answered. Was 1t very valuable?"
 Twice with the nod.
 Sure you had it when you came in here?'
 A third nod. His face was growing wistful.
 You should have put it in the safe" Could not have done that very we'll"
 His voice quivered.
 The clerk stretched his neck and gasped, why, what was it." Ut was," the travelling man began, but he choked-''it was-my job" "Oh, pardon me minute. the phone is ringing" And the clerk tiptoed soft ly away X dismal stiffness reigned.- San Francisco Chronicle.

Do 1t Now.

Get right after those common
roosters on the place. Catca them UP
and sell them. Get them OUT OF the
way. Don't wait till next week, nor
even till tomorrow, but Go it now
to-day. Time counts already for mat
ing up for breeding during the new
season now at hand.
Take the proceeds from the sales
Of the common roosters, or part Of
it, and buy a good, vigorous, pure
bred rooster o two, and mate them
with the hens on the place.
Don't ask US what kind to get. Get
the kind you like best, and get out a
lot Of half-breed pullets for next
fall. They will surprise you in their
beauty, vigor and the way in which
they will lay.
Do it now, and you will be glad of
it every time you set a hen, or take
off a new brood all during the sea-
son.-Geer, in Southern C~uitivator.

Way to Save Teas.

While down at Mclean, in Rich
mond County, we saw a new way to
save peas. They do not try to pick
them. They pull up 4ttieavines and
pile them about in convenient places
in the field. Then with a sheet, they
go and beat out the peas from the
vines. Then they haul the vines
home for COW feed and litter for their
stables. During the scarcity of labor,
this is a good plan. But it is better
to get q thrash with an attachment
for cleaning peas, and thrash them
out, Some OF our pea-huller men will
have to adjust their machines for
cleaning them from the vines. One
merchant at Mclean had shipped
four carloads, and we expect the fifth
ere now.
In talking to a negro, he said: SCI
sold my pea crop to-day. I only run
a one-horse farm, and / sold thirty
two bushels fer $3.50. This helps
out ones income. There is no more
important crop for the Southern
farmer than peas. So we must learn
all we can about them, and raise all
we can Of them."-So1thern Guilt

Variation in Asparagus.

The writer has used asparagus
along division and back fences where
it serves the double purpose of orna-
ment and use. 1t softens and hides
the obtrusive division fence. with
its airy growth proving indeed orna-
mental. 1t occupies ground that is
often not otherwise occupied and at
the same time such paintings can be
made to furnish a family supply of
a delicious vegetable. 1t is true
that with the attention usually given
the product is not comparable to the
truckers product, but a fair article
may be so grown and rs it is for
home consumption it's smaller size is
not seriously in the way. Here salt
ing again a good purpose;
waste brines may be put to use. This
| combination of utility and ornament
in many instances is not desirable,
but here we have one in which ordi-
nary objections hardly apply.-Er-

no frost in the ground 70 make ex-
animation. The insect comes from
an egg laid on the bark close to the
ground. This Matches out, enters the
tree and lives on the inner bark, or
on the soft, new wood Immediately
under it. Its presence may be known
by the exudation of something like
sawdust (Which is the castings of the
~insect), often mixed with gum, at the
collar of the tree. Removing a por-
ton Of the soil to facilitate cutting
into the tree, the little creature will
soon be found. In the operation we
always use a knife with a sharp point
and a strong, rather long blade. The
worm is generally about three-quar-
tiers Of an inch in length and of a dull
white color. It Is soft and easily
killed. Sometimes it has to be fol-
lowed two or three inches, which is
not difficult, as it leaves it's track be-
hind. Frequently it works directly
downward. in which case the injury
done is slight; but at other times its
course is horizontal, and it may en-
tirely girdle the tree. When found
and killed, the earth is to be re-
placed around the collar of the tree.

Leak For Farmers 70 Sion.

various calculations have been
mad about how many millions, OF
dollars Southern farmers lose every
year through the course of many of
tnem III leaving their cotton exposed
TO the weather while holding it for
hlghef prices. Such careless people
also suffer heavy losses Oh cotton
seed. 1t seems that tobacco growers
similarly offend against thrift and
themselves. The following is from
the Mount Airy News:
1T is astonishing to see the eondi-
ton of the tobacco that is being sold
on this market. It does seem that
the farmers would see that they are
losing much money by bringing their
tobacco here in a damaged condition.
We stood on the warehouse floor to-
day. wednesday, and saw the COM
monest Jugs sold for nine cents, and
the very next pile which appeared to
be a fine grade of wrappers sell for
i've cents. The last pile was badly
damaged. and not of much value to
any one. Tobacco that is in good
condition is bringing in the neigh
borhood OF ten cents around from
what we could judge by a careful ex-
animation of the tobacco we saw sold.
But there is not less than half of the
weed that is badly damaged"
If there was ever a time when any
farmer was unable to provide proper
shelter for his hargestings, that time
is now past, and we trust that losses
to the South through this cause will
henceforth diminish.-Charlotte Oh
server.

Profits in Raising Pork.


The editor of the Tampa Times is
q believer in the profits of hog rails
ing, He quite frequently recon-
mends the pig as a profit maker, but
it is not the razorbacks but rather q
cross between the native and some
improved breed. He says:
'It is about time this. methodicRl
newspaper was making another allu-
sion to hogs ard the profit there is
and a be made in their production
in Florida. We note that the prices
nm the farms of the Northwest, or
perhaps it would. be more correct to
say at the railroad stations, r COM
fortably about and above SIS per hun
dred. That is about the figure that
can be had for good smooth hogs at
stations in Florida, thoughlWe do not
have the we'll organized and perma-
nent and unswampable markets those
wiser people and better managers
have in the more northerly section of
the country.
Translated into argumentative
and persuasive terms, this means that
2 snug. smooth hog, a year old, In
good condition, weighing 200 pounds
and costing it's owner about 50 in
cash and about as much in labor,
would cash in for Twelve good, hard
dollars. Now that looks like the
farmer who makes a speciality of
breeding and fattening swine would
make easy money out of the business.
It is true the business requires some
industry, pains and system. The pig,
to be a fit candidate for twelve dol
lars in the market, must be we'll bred,
that is to say, at least belong half to
some approved pure strain of blood
nreferably the Berkshire, Poland or
Jersey Red, in about the order
named.
"Having secured a litter Of such
pigs-or several litters-the Florida
farmer should tightly enclose a suf-
fcient pasture, with n or two cross
fences, dividing the land so it can
be planted in suitable feed for pas
ture and the swine turned from one
to the other as occasion may require.
Plenty of fresh and pure water should
be provided so the animals can drink
at will. While very young the pigs
should be fed swill made from cooked
meal, bran, grits, sweet potatoes and
such vegetables as may be handy.
They should always have as much as
they will clean up twice a day, poured
into troughs, cleaned out at least as
often as once per day. AS 500 as
large enough they should be fed
green forage stuff and vegetables,
Later pastured on peanuts and
chufas, fed oats, corn, cane and such
other stuff as may be produced on the
farm. At ten to twelve months oli
they will weigh 200 pounds each and
be a smooth and even lot.
They can be sold then at S12 each
or about 500 a wagon load, and he
is a rather poor specimen OF a Florida
farmer who cannot manage-after q
year or two Of experience and drill
and preparation-to turn off a hun.
dred such pigs a year. The tota'
cost OF producing such an animal il

charges, rent of land and labor, neeC
