D airy cattle should have access to
salt every day, and salt should be add
ed to their stable feed. A series of ex
periments has convinced me that when
cows are denied salt for a period of
even one week they will yield from 14
to 17 per cen less milk, and that of na
inferior quality. . 8uch milk will sour
twenty four hours quicker than milk
drawn from the same or similar cows
receiving salt, all other conditions and
treatment being equal. Comfortable
quarters are indispensible to the health
and well being of cows. Stables daring
w inter should have a temperature con
stantly within the range of 40 to 55 de
grees Fah. , In summer time a shade
should be provided in the pasture fields
or adjacent thereto to protect against
the bristle making influence of July and
August suns. Id all the managemrot
of cows such conditions should be pro
vided and such care given' as will In

milking should be done by the same
personwiih regularity as to time. He
only that hath clean bands should be
allowed to milk a cow. I say "he" be
because I think the men of the farm
should do all the milkingat least du
ring the wiuter months. I have exer
cised the right of changing my mind
on that subject since I left the farm.
It is more difficult to milk with" wet

It Is not generally known that dry
cotton stalks when ground will make a
good, rich food for stock, approximate
ly equal to the hay from mixed raeadpw
grasses. During the winter several
dry cotton stalks were pulled from the
field at the N. C. Experiment Station
at Raleigh. The stalks were dry, and
still bad the burrs, and some few leaves
adhering. A few roots were pulled op
wftb the stalks. The whole was ground
together, and, on analysis 12.77 per
cent, of moisture, 7.75 of ash, 2.27 of
other extract, - 7.13 of albuminoids,
42.35 of nitrogen free extract, 27.55 of
crude fibre. The nutritive ratio by
analysis (not by digestibility) was 1 to
10.8. This is approximately the same
as the hay from mixed meadow grasses,
which gives a digestible ratio of 1 to
12.2. No opportunity has been given
to test the digestibility of cotton stalks
by actual trial with stock. Should it
prove of good digestibility, and the
cost of pulling the old stalks and grind'
ing them be not too great, cotton stalks
may yet become useful adjuncts in cat
tle feeding. The weight of the old
stalks per acre from the rich cotton
lands of the lUast is not inconsiderable.

One of the. great and moat frequent
mistakes made by gardeners is to delay
the thinning ont of plants too long. In
stead of leaving this work.niiUl the
plants have made a second or third
pair of leaves, the thinning oat should
be done as soon as the plants are nice
ly op, and before the. true ro4s of the
plants are formed. If done early the
plants that are removed will not dis
turb the regaining ones, as the first
root is perfectly smooth, while, if- left
until it is si snass. of fibrous roots it
will distnrb all the adjoining plant, so
that growth is checked, and, la many
instances to such a degree that tbe
plant never recovers its fall vigor.

It Is probable that every August
thousands of farmers resolve that the
nexi spring they will pat ont a field
of fodder corn, yet break the resolution
when "pring comes. It la tbe rare ex
ception thai July and August do cot
shorten tbe pastures. Some seasons
the pastures ara almost burnt np ; il
there has been no provision made for
other feed at this seison the animals
most lose flesh, and tbe cows must fall
off in their milk, or else grains and
purchased foods must be ed liberally.
Fodder corn Is cheaper than loss of
flesh or grain. Allowing tbe animal
to lose flesh Is very wasteful. ' It will
require twice as much food to 'regain
the flesh as to retain it Every year
the testimony becomes stronger that
fodder-corn should not be sown broad
cast. It may be planted in hills, but
the largest crops, except on very foal
land, can be raised by planting fn
drills. Fodder-corn sbonld be planted
in rows at least three feet apart and as
well culllvsted as field corn. Ameri

A statement of the debt extinguish
ment of our country since the war
never ceases to be impressive. It re
flects not only the growth, but the
patriotism and prosperity of our peo
ple as no other statistical exhibit does.
The mere fact Is startling that twenty
five years ago, less than a generation,
the public debt was $2,756,000,000, en
tailing an annual interest charge of
$151,000,000, and it Is now only $921,-
000,000, and the Interest charge is but
$29,600,000.
The face of the debt has decreased to
one-third its maximum size, while tbe
interest charge has decreased to one-
fifth Its highest amount, ownig to re
funding at tbe constantly declining
rats of interest. '
In the past ten years a targe propor
tion of tbe debt has been extinguished.
At the time of tbe 1880 census the
public debt was $1,919,000,000, and the
interest charge was $79,600,000, to that
in a decade the debt has been reduced
$998,000,000, or say, $1,000,000,000.
It will thus be rfcen that if the coun
try remains prosperous and continues
to be well governed it will bo entirely
possible to extinguish the "entire re
maining public debt in tbe next ten
years, so that the people of the United
8tates could, if they chose, enter upon
the twentieth century with m net sur
plus in the Treasury. Il baa been tbe
bistorio fiscal policy of oar country to
pay ofl its debt ; wo presume it will
continue to be. .
The present census will show 65,000,-
000 people in the United States, in all
probability, and this will figure a debt
at tbe present time of only fourteen
dollars per inhabitant, which Is small,
while the interest charge of $29,417,-
603 entails a tax of less than fifty cents
per year per Inhabitant.
Our readers will sea from this bow
slight a harden the National debt Is in
comparison with the real taxation of
the people, which Is local taxation,
ranging all the wsy from $9 to $19 per
11,000. The problems which confront
this generation of Americans are not
those of poverty, certainly. Boston

There was one public . man whose
career upon the stage of life was com
paratively short, but that man made
a name and a record that will always
sbine conspicuously In the pages tf
the early history of the United States.
Davy Crocket was a typical Ameri
can, and bis fame is partly due to the
fact that be embodied all the homely
virtues of our early history. The 9tb
of this month Is the anniversary of bis
birth, and it is intended to celebrate
the occasion by a meet lug of governors
of several states at Lawrenoeburg,
Tenn., where Crocket lived, and where
he was made magistrate, county judge,
colonel, member of Legislature, and a
representative In Congress. It will be
a great occasion for tbe usual quiet
town of Lawrenoeburg, and It is said
that the people out there are anxious
for tbe governor of Virginia to take
part in tbe exercises.
The name and tbe fame of Davy
Crocket Is as warmly cherished in
Virginia as It is in Tennessee, and this
is putting it very strong when it is
known that Crocket was the Idol of
tbe Tennesseeans in the years gone by.
Many men oP greater Intellectual
power bare lived and died since the
siege at San Antonio, where Crocket
and his brave band lost tbeir lives
after a gallaot defence ; bnt none bare
made a greater name in history.
