FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Manures and Flawing.
Colonel John H. Dent, of Georgia,
writes to the Sonthern World that an;
farmer who stables eight head of horses,
and | ens ten head of cattle, and owns
sheep and hogs in proportion, and wilt
hire an active hand by the year as lot
man and stock man, and to perform no
other labor but the collecting and heap
ing of manures, and to litter the lots,
etc., will make a sufficiency of manures
(provided a proper rotation of crops is
observed, as well as to sow clover on
your fields) as will enrich a farm of two
hundred cultivated acres, without hav
ing to buy commercial fertilizers. It is
as much » part of a farmer’s duty to
make manures as it is to make his fenc
ing, cultivate bis crops and house them.
This modern mania for fertilizers is
only a speculation inaugurated by cotton
planters to make heavy yields of cotton;
it’s one of these manias that will have
its day and time, and then die out.
farming proper—that is, mixed crops,
consisting of corn, wheat, oats, pota
ces, peas and grass and clover—enables
re to do much for preserving and im
coving the lands by rotation, as well
as by turning under clover and stubble.
The advantages are much greater than
with the planter who plants only corn
andcotton crops; hence, as above re
marked with the amount of stock
named, an t a hand to attend the col
lection of manures as a specialty, for a
two hundred acre farm bought mannres
are unnecessary—all required can be
made on the farm.
Diversified Crops.
The press of the South has, without
exception for years been busily engaged
in endeavoring to impress upon the
Southern farmer the great benefits
which would inure to him by abandon
ing his old custom of pinning his faith
to cotton alone, and by diversifying his
crops so as to produce at home such
articles as are aboslutelv necessary for
borne consumption. It is believed that
these teachings have at least been i
heeded. Certain it is that during the j
the past season the acreage of cotton i
generally has been decreased, while j
that of corn, wheat, oats, hay and other I
crops has been senisblv increased, and
the advantages which will result from
this condition of affairs will probably
manifest themselves to practically that
the diversified system will not hereafter
te abindoned.
The advantages to the States con
cerned will be many millions for this
year alone, for any curtailment of the
cotton crop, even the smallest, when
that staple is wholly relied on, is disas
trous to the cotton States, and is in
variably followed by distressing finan
cial stringency. The margin of profit
on cotton raising, when large supplies
of grain and other provisions are drawn
from other sections, is so small that
only full crops leave the p’anter pros
perous. Instead, therefore, of the
prospects in the cotton States being
unfavorable by reason of having given
increased attention to the cereals and ;
to corn and vegetables, this season
gives nnnsual promise cf ease and pros
perity. If the season had been one of \
the best lor cotton, the result would ,
only have been still more favorable for
planters. As it is, they have what
would have been a close year, with little
or no profits, turned into one of surely
more than ordinary prosperity. In
view of these acknowledged facts, the
lesson brings nothing new to light nor
reveals anything not before believed by
many, but it vindicates the theory that
diversified agriculture is founded in
pindence and true wisdom. It is prob ,
able that a riculturists will adopt it I
more and more extensively from year to |
year —[Rural Record.
Agricultural Kotn,
Underdrains : Let others do as they
please, but if yon want a drain that will
laßt a hundred years or more, dig the
ditch as deep as the outlet will require
and fill the same to within eight or nine
inches of the surface with loose stone
thrown in promiscuously from a wagon,
the largest at the bottom and the small
est on top, and after covering with an
inch or so of leaves from the woods,
throw in as much of the excavated
earth as will fill the ditch up level with
the surrounding surface. Underdrains
so made will last time out of mind,
with no occasion for repairs.
Coal Oil for Shingles : If shingles are
dipped in crude coal oil before nailing
on, they will last nearly twice as long.
They then lie close and snug, with no
warping or fuzzing up by the weather.
A vat large enough to contain a bundle
of shingles should be filled with the
oil and then the shingles put in and
allowed to soak a few minutes, when
they shouid be taken out and and an
other bundle put In, and so on until the
w hole are thus treated a day or so be
fore putting on.
Glucose, What is It ? Glucose proper
is a table syrup, made by boiling corn
starch in sulphurie acid, (oil of vitriol)
the manufacturer sometimes adding
copperas and then mixing the whole
with lime. Dr. Eedzic, professor of
chemistry in the Agricultural College
of Michigan, upon analyzing seventeen
specimens of different table syrups,
found fifteen of them made of glucose;
one of which contained 141 grains of oil I
of vitriol and 724 grains of lime, whilst
another, which had caused the serious
siekness of a whole family, contained
72 grains of the oil of vitriol, 28 grains
of the sulphate of iron, (eopgieraa) and
303 grains of lime to the gallon. The
manufacturers buy thepnre syrup mude
of cane sugar, and mix the glucose with
it themselves, and tbns the deleterious
effects of these mixtures are easily ac
counted for.
FOR THE FAIR SEX.
ClMk Pelisses.
Long cloth pelisses elaborately braid
ed down the front and middle seams of
the back, but not across the foot, are
largely imported for outside wraps.
Some of these are cut with vests their
entire length, and across this vest are
horizontal rows of Hercules braid, while
that on the pelisse is a vine pattern
done in fine soutache.
Falrlsl.
Paletots of medium length are shown
double-breasted, with cross hip seams
like those formerly known as English
walking jackets, while others are in
the Jersey or cuirass shape, with only a
few seams, and these extending the
whole length of the garment, these
| jackets are untrimmed, their only finish
' being given by the neat stitching and
embroidered arrow-heads that proclaim
them ‘’tailor-made.’*
Aii turn Mantles?
Light colored cloths in the cuir ana
j ficelle shades are used for dressy man
tles and jackets for the early antnmn.
The mantles are in visits shape, half
long, with square sleeves, and are cut
open usually from the waist down in j
tne middle of the back, in order to make
room for very bouffant tournures; in
deed, all new wraps, theugh made very
clinging to give slender effects, are
made with provision for very ample
drapery. Gray ficelle lace in two full
frills with passe-menterie of gray satin
cords is the trimming for these" grace
ful visites.
Bird., Fealhrr.. etc.
One large bird, two heads, or a group
of several small birds are the trimmings
most used on Paris bonnets. A world
wide slaughter of the innocents has
been going on to supply birds to satisfy
this new caprice; for besides the velvet
plumage of Australian birds, the bril
liant hues of those of South America,
the shaded gray Mediterranem swal
lows, and blue-tipped wings of English
jays, are seen the skins of almost every
bird known to our goods, and even
those of the commonest domestic fowls.
From the poultry-yard are taken whole
broods of tiniest ch’cks, cocks* heads,
breast, and tail feathers, and the backs
of hens from tip of beak to tail; while
there are boxes of snipe from Long Is- '
land, white pigeons from Xew Jersey,
gray tern, partridges, wild-ducks, crows,
hawks, magpies, jays, etc. There are
poke bonnets made entirely of the tips
of game feathers pasted on flatly, and
trimmed with a single large plnmp bird,
or with clusters of many small hum
ming-birds. Turbans and small bon
nets are made of English pheasants’
feathers in the stylish brown shades or
in the blue-green of lophophores and
pea-fowls, and these have bright spots j
like jewels on the crown, made of the
brilliant throat feathers of many tiny
humming-birds. The newest feather
turbans have the brims to stand out
ward from the forehead, so that they
will not flatten fluffy crimps of hair.
Sometimes eight birds are denuded to
supply the exact shades required for a
single turban. Medium long ostrich
plnmes are preferred to those of the
greatest length, and all ostrich feathers,
even the shortest tips, are now made up
so thick that they look well even when
their curl has been destroyed by damp
ness. For general use. cocks’" plumes
promise to be more used than os’rich :
feathers, and many of these have bangles
of jet at the tip of each plume.

Why He Couldn’t Have Her.
One of Jonathan Edwards's daughters,
who had some spirit of her own, had
also a proposal of marriage. The youth
was referred to her father. “So,’’ said
| that stern individual, “you can't have
my daughter." “But I love her and
she loves me,” pleaded the young man.
“Can’t have her,” said the "father. “I
am well to do and can support her,”
explained the applicant. “Can’t have
her!” persisted the old man. “May I
ask,” meekly inquired the suitor, “if
you have heard anything against my
character?” “No !” thundered the ob
stinate parent, by this time aroused, “I
haven’t heard anything against you ; I
think you are a promising young man,
and that’s why you can’t have her. She’s
got a very bad temper, and you wouldn’t
bi happy with her!” The lover,
amazed, said : “Why, Mr Edwards! I
thought Emily was a Christian. She
is a Christian, ain’t she?” “Certainly
she is,” growled the conscientious par
ent, “but young man. when you grow
older yon’ll be able to understand tha’
there’s some f. lks that the grace of
God can live with that you can’t?’—

Etiquette in Germany forbids the
carrying of parcels, no matter how
small, by a gentleman. Under immense
pressure of necessity, a lady may take '
home in her own hands a small pur
chase, or carry a book or roll of music
to the house of a friend. When a dress
maker comes to try on a little walking
jacket, a small boy must needs walk

The wine business of California is no
small item in the re onrees of that
State. About 10,000,00 gallons of wine
are produced annually, and about 2,000,-
000 gallons are yearly sent eastward,
where it is adorned with foreign labels
and sold as an imported article- The
quality is said to be good, and even
some professed oonnisseurs are de
ceived when California wine is offered
them under the guise of well-known
foreign names.
A Perpetual Fretting.
We all know a few people who are
never happy under any circumstances.
The weather is always objectionable;
the temperature is never - satisfactory.
They have too much to do, and are
driven to death; or too little, and have
no resources. If they are sick, they
know that they never shall get well; if
they are well, they expect soon to be
sick. Something "is sure to disturb their
Bleep; their food is never quite to their
taste; they have coma which every one
treads on, or a toothache which no one
realizes. Their daily work is either
drudgery, which they hate, or so diffi
cult and complex that they cannot
execute it. To hear the prolonged recital
of their petty woes, one would think
them the most persecuted of mortals,
and when people shrink from the disa
greeable character, their lack of sympa
thy adds another drop to the cup of
trouble. Tet these people have no more
real cause for repining than the rest of
the world. They do it simply because
“it is their nature to.”
