Winter Work on Farms.

One OF the greatest needs on the
average southern farm nowadays is
m5r- work in winter Ever since l
COLD remember it has seemed to me
that life on the common Georgia farm
is too much of a happy go-lucky style
To get results in anything one has
to keep everlastingly at it. SO to speak.
For years l have heard staid old farm
ers discussing fall blowing and spring
blowing but / have seen too little of
it in actual observation. writes J. c..
NJ. in the Southern CultiyatOr
There used TO be an idea which is
still prevalent. concerning results from
fall and winter blowing. Some argued
it was injurious to plow deep in the
fall, others that it was absurd to pillow
in the springtime to any great depth
The truth of the matter is that good
blowing at any time when the soil is
in good condition is good thing to do
Usually in the spring the subsoil is
too wet to plow, and when it is turned
up or broken in this condition damag
ing results are likely to occur.

Oh account of grain crop conditions,
roast pig might well figure on the hol-
iday menu. Roasting pigs are the
Youngsters from three to six weeks old
and weighing from fifteen to thirty
pounds. They have not been generally
found quoted in market reports, as they
have come to market in very small
numbers and only during the holiday
season.
Mr.. W. Dietrich of Illinois classes
them as pigs Of very nearly uniform
grade: taken direct from their dams,
dressed with head and feet on and
served like spring chickens or turkeys
The price varies greatly, ranging all
the way from regular live hog prices
TO that paid for poultry. 1t must be
admitted that the delights of roast pig
are classic rather than popular as yet.

Com parison of Rations.

In tests made at the Vermont expert
ment station it was found that an al
falfa meal ration made less milk and
butter. carried less fertilizing value
and was fed at loss as compared
with a wheat bran ration. the meal
costing S27 and the wheat bran $3.50.
Had each cost alike the former would
still have been outclassed. An alfalfa
meal ration made One-seyenth less
milk. one-siXth less butter, and the IA
ton containing it carried One-siXth less
plant food value than did one contain
ing disrillerS' dried grains. 1t is utter,
ly outclassed ut equal prices.

higher than formerly on the holiday
horizon. Poultrymen in other parts Of
New England as well as in various
turkey sections of note in Kentucky
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
also find ii advantageous to give to
different forms of poultry and to egg
production some of the attention that
has been more exclusively devoted to
the turkey. To offset northern short
age Texas sends large supplies to
northern markets.
The present depressed condition of
the turkey raising industry seems to be

LAWS AGAINST TOBACCO.
Early Legislation to Restrict the Use
of the Weed

One of the curiOsities Of early colo
NAL legislation is the laws enacted
against the planting and the use of to-
baccO. Evidently the magistrates and
elders of those days regarded that
creature called tobacko" as one Of
the many emissaries Of the devil,
against whom it was their duty to
wage constant warfare. The planting
Of it was forbidden except in small
quantities to be used for meere neces-
site. for phisick, for perseryaceon Of
the health. and that the same may be
taken privately by ancient men,"
All keepers of hotels and other pub
lie places were ordered not to suffer
any tobacco to be taken into their
houses" If they disobeyed the order.
they were required to pay Il fife to the
''victuaIer'' and one also to party that
takes it," At little later the law was
changed so that it was forbidden to
take tobacco in any wine or common
victual house except in private room
there, SO as the master of said house
nor any guest there shall take offense
thereat, which, if they DO, the said per-
son shall forbear upon pain of , shil-
lings siXpence for every such offense."
No one was permitted to use tobacco
''publicquely,' not even in his own
house, in the presence of strangers. It
was against the law for two men to
smoke together III Windsor every user
OF tobacco was required to procure Il
physicians certificate before he was
permitted to enjoy the obnoxious weed.
All smoking was forbidden within two
miles OF meeting house on the Sab
bath day. Connecticut, as 4 great in
diligence to travellers, allowed 4 man
to smoke once during journey of ten
miles made not by trains, but afoot or
by horse locomotion-New Yorl. Press.
