been riding the jute horse with

would rejoice to have a good

Every ' aspiring man must

hereafter, is a common school
system that .will be fh reach

the teachers by establishing a
lormal school for females, and
et the counties . educate their
own children by a rate of taxa

six months schooling in the
year. This legislature; should
begin the good work and do it

The Dakota Farmer comes so
near expressing our own views
in the following paragraph that
we have no hesitaucy iu giving
it place in this column. The
editor says : "The farmer, be
cause of the credit system, in
dulges in many luxuries that
would be denied if they were
to be paid for at the time. It
is an easy matter to give an
order with the suggestion to
'charge this," and if paid at
the time would be easy ; but it
is the accumulation of these
little cliarges that soon con
front the editor in the shape of
an enormous bill that causes
the trouble and inconvenience
It would be far better for all
farmers if the rule of paying
as one goes could be adopted,
or else not to go."

to hear it : "The cotton farm

A XECE.SSAKY CHANGE.
How to transform a cotton
plantation into a stock aud
grain faim is a question of all
tttail tn fl. few
words. tIihtb is no one perfect
pla?i by. which it can be done,
it mast be a gradual change,
necessarily slow. .Cotton plant
ing is not farming, except in
a very 1 jited sense. Hereto-j
fore e . c -hing done oi a
Southern plantation, thai is in
the nature o true farming, has
been subordinated to one great
aim the makhig of cotton,
Ilere is a crude outline of the'i
way ia which the change can
be made, whifih we clip from
the Sou thern Cultivator. Jt
saye : "Probably the bast time
to inaugurate the desired
change to make a beginning
--iy in the fall of the year.
Provision for a supply of suc
culent, green foatje for winter
use comes first. Thip'-ajay in
clude ensilage, soiling crops (to
be cut and fed in stall) and

pi-at crops for ensilage, but

utilizing late corn, pea vines,

the "three best crops for
ensilage. The quickest soiling
and pasturage crop can be
made by sowing barley and
rye on rich lots in August and
September. There is no better
winter grass ; the . one objec
tion that they are annuals.
Lucerne is probably the best
soiling crop, endur: lg for many
years. It requires very rich,
clean soil. I'repare and sow
just as rutabaga turnips are
sown, in drills twenty or thirty
four inches apart, in Septem
ber or October. It will be
f in ant
will give three or four cut
tings during the season of the
most nutritious of green food
known. Preparations for a
. ,. r
permanent winter pasture
should be made. Orchard, tall
oat, yellow oat, hard fescue
and red top make a good mix
ture fdr hill lands inclined to
be sandy or gravel! y. lied
clover should be added on all
clay lands. Sow oats for next
year's feeding, on clean, cotton
land (to start with,) fertilizing
well in September. Graze them
with light stoctc during dry
weather until February. At
tention should at the same
time be directed to improving
the breeds of stock to be kept
on the farm. It is by no means
necessary to buy a herd of
thoroughbred animals, unless
the object be to produce thor
oughbred stock for sale. Jiuy
a thoroughbred bull, boar,
stallion, etc., and the best com
mon females of the neighbor
hood, and breed up. For but
ter, Jerseys are preferred ; for
milk, butter and tee! (combin
ed,) Holsteins; for work stock,
Devons; for beef. Short-horns,
Hereford. Do not commence
on too large a scale, but feel
your way cautiously. Provide
comfortable winter quarters
for stock, and ample barn room
for storage.
"In March start , a Bermuda
grass pasture. Among those
who are judtres it stands to-day
without an equal as a perman
ent summer pasture. Make a
constant aim to produce the
best of every kiud ; the best
batter, beef, mutton, fruit,
vegetables, etc. Keep the
culls of all kinds at home and
make the most of them there.
There is no valid reason why
Southern farmers may not pro
duce just as good beef, mutton,
bacon, butter, cheese, etc., as
that imported fnm Chicago,
Cincinnati, and Kansas Oity.
On large farms, when not ex
pedient to seed a portion of the
land, confine the transformation
process to a comparative small
area, doing the work thorough
ly and persistently; rent out
the outlaying portions, to be
taken into the new system as
may be expedient. A farmer
should keep steadily in view
the constant improvement and
permanent enric) uent of his
soil. If without experience in
grass and stock husbandry, if
one has been nothing but a
cotton planter, better not give
up cotton planting entirely or
suddenly, unless there be a
eood surplus a year's living, at
least of cash on hand for liv
ing expenses, while inaugurat
ing the new depar ure. Cotton
is a good crop in the hands of
a true farmer who will not be
content wth not less than an
average of one bale to every
acre. The only way to make
money planting cotton is to
greatly lessen tjin cost of its
production. Therefore reduce
the area in cotton at one to the
point at which the above result
may be certainly attained.
CAUGHT THEM FOUL.
And- a $100 E:ll Wouldn't Tempt

Some' years ago the pastor of
a church in a rural v district of
Missouri shephered a flock,
some members of which were
in a habit of leaving the house
while ! e was in the middle of
a disconrse. This was an eye
sore tr the reverend incumbent,
and when, ore (?ay, a visiting
brother volunteered to preach
for him. he felt called upon to
speak of the annoyance.
"Oh, HI stup that '." was
the reply. "I'll warrant you that
no one leaves until I'm done !"
Accordingly, when he arose to
speak ba introduced his ser
mon with the following :
"My friends, before 1 begin
my sermon I wish to make a
few not irrelevent remarks.
You all kiow that a vessel
when full is full, and to con

others;again are easily filled. So
it "9 with men's head's, and it ir
possible that some of yours
may fcecQm full before I'm

themselves. Fourteen funerals
in our country last week from
the cause. I attended ell of
them. That is why I am so
sad. And, mind you, the corn

A man at Arkansas City has

r Tanner will have to g. That
ihls conclusion has been reach

impresssion of bine out of every

disposed to look over Tanners
