G.ItEKN MANPniNO. V.I
[fly Allen, of .\c .brrue. N. •.]
A farmer is »ui>posed to Lc practical
ly acquainted with everything concern
ing agriculture, and to know what is
best to do under all circumstances in
order to obtain remunerative crops; but
the fact is that no one farmer in au
average lifetime can try enough experi
ments to know everything, and he must
embrace every opportunity to find out
add to study tho recorded experiments
of others.
The informalloif regarding 'vheu ol
how to break land, and when to turn
tinder sod or stubble, or a crop grown j
.for manure, has couie down to *is from |
 ur ancestors, and has not been verified j
b y experiments. One farmer continues '
to break the stubblo .'and in October, j
another always bums off Ihe weeds and '
stubble in February, and then breaks
the land for corn or cotton, and each
t.links his plan right because his father ]
did so. Very few have experimented
to liud whether there is not a better
plan. Mauy of our ideas have been re
ceived froui Northern farmers and
writei s, where die conditions of climate j
are quite reverse of those existing in
the jjoath. If the plowing is not done ,
in Northern States before October it
cannot bo done until alter the first of
May, as the land is covered with snow t
or bonnrt fast with ice. ,
The Northern (v. iu»r often breaks 1
his sod land in September, and either
sows wheat or expects the freezing and
thawing weather of October to pulvcr- '
uo and to prepare the land to receive c
the annual covering of snow, aad with |
it a supply os ammonia, which the '
Southcrf farmer must buy in commer
cial fa" tiluors or obtain by growing a
green crop fot manure, in the South r
tho conditions are quite different. Sep-
Umber is a hot month, October is fie- (
quently almost as warm. Drying winds
sweep the bare fields ; winter rains wash
tho corn and cotton lands into gullies, 11
and all the elements seorn to conspire to 0
rob tho soil of nitrogen. 0
o
How can this great loss be prevent- „
ed ■ Caonat the farmer, to some ex- 0
tent at least, cover his land with manur
ing crops which will shade and protect
the land from sun, wind and washing j a
rain until he is ready to plant the spring y
crop 1 n
This covering after serving the pur- ( *
pose of shaping the land for several j '
months, and iu that way improving the #'
condition of the soil, will be equal in *'
value, when turned under, to many w
wagon loads of manure. w
r;iE CirilSE Ol'" THE COUNTRY
Over a hundred millinei lving idle, j
[ It ha* been taken out of the business ;
11if the. country by tho force-pump i!
'overtaxation. It is of no u-e to any
one*. It do"s the govcjtimoni harm, ; t
. arouses the cupidity of Congress, it
! 'tefc- the people injury. Our currency i

! tiioo loans' arc author tuattut- » i
iu>n has money "to >pnrc he place, i!
where he can get his hands on it at u
day's notice. He has grown cautious,
possibly a little timid.
Then the prospect of a still further
accumulation, with another hundred
millions abstracted from business, is
somewhat appalling. \\ hat wll bo
the end ' is what everybody is asking.
Are we to be taught by a financial
i crash that tho revcu.ie must be reduced,
or will the democratic party lake time
by the forelock and by judicious work
prevent such a calamity !
Level-headed democrats have but
ono opinion of the prime duty of the
hour. It is to squarely faco the facts
and insist on reduction without further
delay. If their conference with Mr.
Cleveland at Oak View results m an
agrecmeut upon some decisive plan of
action, and if the Pressdcnt, seeing the
dangers with which the country, is
threatened, places himself at the head
of the party, bent on immediate reform
of the revenue laws in souic shape or
other, the merchants and the common
sense of the republic, iirespective of
party affiliations, will be with them..
FARM POINTERS.
The cultivation of sunflowers is on
the increase. The object is fourfold;
for ornament, sanitary effects, food for
poultry ami in some localities a substi-
I ;uto for fuel.
£very farmer needs a roller. A
plank diajj" and pulverizer is also a use
ful implement.

weasel.
Tiy boiled fwcct milk for chicken
diarrhoea.
It is generally conCb'ied that the Pay
currant is a success.
Proper trimming is essential to suc
cess in all fruit growing. An overbur
dened tree will exhaust nature's store
i house and become impaired in lioalth
j and defective iu fruit.
The good lesults of tils drainage arc ■
j not altogether manifest in wet weather,
jlt is equally beneficial ill time of
drought.
Additional encouragement to the I
practice of planting peach stones of the
fine varieties is given in tho last re|xirt
of the Massachusetts lloiticiiltural So. i
cioty. Accordiog to the report of Ibis I
society's committee on fruits, one |
grower who has competed at every ex
hibition wliero prizes were offeied has j
done so almost eutirely with seedling:
fruit.
The hog is a grass eating animul, i
though people do not always seem to j
realize it. Swine like both grass and !
hay.
It is reported that the round headed j
apple borer has been successfully ex- j
eluded from trees by placing fre-li
manure around the base cf tho tree and
in coutact with it.
Stephen llcale remarks that there is
ono great advantage in using turkeys to
rear their young, viz , that a turkey j
hen will take to any young ones, whe
ther hatched by herself ur not.
According to a practical farmer, the
increase of a flock of sheep will pay the ]
cost of keeping it, leaving the wool;
clear profit ; or tho keeping may be
charged against tho wool, which wilt
not exhaust it all, leaving the lambs j
clear profit.
Chioken cholera.—Let the poultry j
at all times drink from at irou vessel.
When they have the cholera, put in the 1
water chips of red oak bark and some
anvil dust from tho blacksmith shop
If they are able to walk (o the water i
and drink tboy will gut wcll. It will i
act as a oertaiu preventative, and none i
will take the cholora if tbev drink this j

A correspondent of the Southern Cult
1 livato'• who snys he never bad the hog I
j cholera among his hogs although his i
j neighbors have it, gives the following
preventive. For twenty-five ho-d, give j,
\ twice a week, bran about one peak, salt |
| one quart, wood ashes one peek, soda
; quarter of a pound, and one tablespoon (
| ful of carbolic acid—all mixed woll. ,
At this season the preparations should i
be made for fatttniug the weathers ai.d

TEN USEFUL MAXIMS.
1. Never put off till to-morrow what ,
! you can do 10-day. 3. Nover trouble j
; others. 3 Never spend your money 1
I before you have it. 4. Never buy what "
1 you do not want because It is cheap. 5, P
i Recollect that pride is nif re irksome to u
|bu b' rue than oithcr hunger, thirst or i
| eobl. 0. Never feast so that you will 91
|be obliged to fast after it. 7. Nothing :'1
! is felt troublesome that is done, willingly !
! 8 Never anticipate evil—an imagined 81
calamity is always more painlul than a
! the real one. 9. Always take hold of
things bv 'tieir smooth handle. 10. 11
Always count 10 before you speak, if
angry—if grent'y so, count.
