(W* F- Massey, in Practical Farmer). ;
The New York Farmer says that there
is an article being sent out in barrels
from Chicago to dairymen, called “but
ter help.” It is a sort of mucilage that
smells like butter and has 40 per cent
of water. It is intended to increase the
bulk of the butter by glueing the casein,
etc., together. It would seem that a
dairyman using this would come under
the oleomargarine law, and his butter
would be simply another form of oleo
and liable to the same tax as an arti
ficial imitation of butter.
The Michigan folks are well aware of
the value of Farmers’ Institutes, and in
no State are they more thoroughly car
-1 ied on. We have received from the
Michigan Agricultural College a list of
45 2-day institutes and 28 1-day insti
tutes to be held during December and
January. We have not room for the
whole list, but our Michigan friends can
doubtless get it by writing to the Agri
cultural College. Some day the Legis
latures of other States may wake up to
the importance of these Institutes and
appropriate funds for their maintenance.
Quite a list is being planned, we believe,
in Pennsylvania, but we have not yet
received it.
The St. Paul Globe says that ther*
are indications that the big oleo manu
facturers are about to abandon oleo and
go into butter manufacture on a large
si ale with the purpose of controlling the ,
whole butter manufacture. In other j
words, they want to make a big butter j
combine and get the entire dairy inter- I
c>t under their thumbs. The idea seems !
to be for the packers to go into the mar
ket and bid up butter prices so high as ;
to popularize the oleo in its uncolored ,
condition, and dairymen are warned
against playing into their hands by ac- |
cepting small advances on what the I
creameries are paying, since the effort
v ill be to freeze out the creameries and
then to have the dairymen where they
will be helpless to oppose the packers.
Dairymen should keep their eyes on this
scheme and not allow themselves to be
deceived by temporary advance in price.
With the creameries killed off they will
be in the hands of the oleo men.
PEACH YELLOWS.
Every now and then some one thinks j
that he has found out that the yellows 1
in the peach comes from poverty of the
soil, and that potash or something else
is needed to cure it. The whole diffi
culty is that these people do not know
the true yellows. There is a great dif
ference between a tree affected by the
disease and one that has yellow leaves
simply from starvation. Fertilization
will cure the last but will have no effect
on the true disease. In fact, the exact j
nature and cause of the disease is one
of the unsolved problems in horticulture.
COLORING BUTTER.
The astonishing statement recently
made by Major Alvord at the Butter
i: akers’ Convention in Milwaukee, that
the coloring of butter is a fraud, is at- i
ti acting the condemnation it deserves 1
from the agricultural press. From time
immemorial buttermakers have been in
the habit of coloring their winter butter
so as to keep up a standard color the
year through. The coloring has not been
done to make the butter look like any
thing else, as is the case with col
ored imitations of butter, but merely to
keep a uniform standard of color at all
si asons of the year. There is no effort
to deceive anyone by the coloring, for I
the yellow is the trade mark of butter,
and colored butter i 3 still butter and
l othing else. The American Agricul
turist says that butter makers “expected
treachery in the camp of the enemy, but
to find Alvord going back on them is
disconcerting. * * * It is up to him to
explain or cease posing as the friend of
tie dairymen. His iniluence is forever
lest. He will do dairymen more harm
than good. They demand that he make
a satisfactory explanation or resign, and
to do one or the other quickly.” And
so sav we all.
THE FALL PLOWING THAT PAYS.
The subject of fall plowing is now up
in the Experience Pool. Our readers are
fuily aware that the editor has consist
ently opposed fall plowing and leaving
Hie land bare in winter. It is usually
urged that fall plowing saves plowing
in the spring. But a soil that does not
need re-plowing in the spring is usually
one that should not be plowed at all in
the fall. The heavy soils that are most
bencfltted by fall plowing, will usually
Le found bettered by a replowing in the
spring. We believe that the ordinary
fall plowing, and leaving the land bare
i ' w inter does more harm in most cases
tlrui good. True, in the far North where
ihc soil closes up tight all winter there
will be less damage than where there
are heavy rains and thawing and freez
ing all winter, and the damage in the
f;.r North will be hardly appreciable as
compared with more Southern localities.
Siill we believe that even there some
hardy winter covering crop that neces
sitates the spring replowing, will be of
advantage. There is no time during the
whole year when the deep plowing and
subsoiling needed by many soils can be
better done than in the late fall, and
for this reason we always favor the do
ing of the work at this time, provided,
always, that some crop is sown for the
winter. It is true that at this writing
it will be too late over a large section
r.f the country to sow this winter cover,
but we have said enough on this point
heretofore to show what we favor. In
the South there is still time to get the
winter cover of and while a legume
crop would have been better, rye is still
a good thing for this purpose, and the
benefit to the soil will fully repay the
additional labor of turning it (under in
the spring. The fall plowing that pays,
then, is that which prepares for a winter
cover that makes the farmer plow again
in the spring.
COLORING OLEOMARGARINE.
The Prairie Farmer comes out as the
apologist of coloring oleo with the old
fctala arguments in favor of the article.
It says: “Oleomargarine is a wholesome
articles of food, and those whose slender
purse conditions make it incumbent on
them to procure a cheaper article than
butter, should not be debarred the priv
ilege of obtaining that article in a pre
sentable condition. Every article should
be sold on its merits, and for exactly
what it is. but the prevention of colora
tion is no great aid in enforcing such
a policy, and we do not believe the end
justifies the means.” No one denies the
w'holesomeness of well made oleo, and
no poor man is prevented by the law
from getting it if he wants to. But be
fore the passage of the law r there were
hundreds of places in the city where the
Prairie Farmer is published in which
all sorts of fancy brands of butter were
j offered for sale and never a pound of
oleo, though there was not an ounce of
pure butter in any of the places. The
poor man is the very one who does not
want to be deceived in his butter. The
very life of oleo depends on its being
passed off at hotels and restaurants as
butter. If the success of the oleo trade
depended on the sales to people of slen
der purses, knowing what they are buy
ing, there would be little of it sold.
Niue men out of ten. if told at a hotel
that the butter offered was oleo and not
butter, would refuse to use it. The fact
is that w’e have not yet seen a sample
of the so-called uncolored oleo that is
not yellow enough to pass for butter,
and it is still offered as such at hotels,
as we know. So far it would seem that
all that the law has accomplished is to
| make it a little paler than colored but
| ter and is compelling dairymen to use
: more. color than they should. A farm
j paper that loins the oleo ranks should
J take down its sign.
HESSIAN FLY.
i J. F. Warlick, Crouse, N. C., writes
that the fly is playing havoc with the
| wheat there owing to the late, frostless
| autumn. He sends samples that eertain
j ly contain the pupae of the fly really to
I transform in the spring into the perfect
! insect to lay eggs and hatch larvae to
i cat the wheat. He says that some of
| his neighbors are plowing the wheat
j down and re-sowing, hoping in this way
to counteract the effects of the fly. and
| asks if this is wise. We are inclined to
believe that his neighbors are doing the
best thing that can be done. We believe
the burying of the pupae will probably
( destroy them and that the wheat sown
I now' may escape. Os course this could
j not be done in a colder climate, but I
have known at least one croo of wheat
j made in Eastern North Carolina that
1 turned out thirty bushels per acre, and
|it w r as not sown till the middle of De
f cember after the cotton was off the field.
| If advantage is now taken of the tnild
j weather to get the wheat up the chances
are that we will have an unusually mild
j winter, and we had rather take the
I chances on plowing the fly infested wheat
down and re-sowing at once than to
wait for them to get in their work in
the spring. A field infested now will
certainly be badly damaged in the spring,
and the late sown wheat will have at
j least as good a chance. Os course we
would not advise the practice of sowing
! as late as December, as a rule, even in
1 the mild climate of Carolir a. But it is
a choice of two evils, and the buried
wheat will help the crop.
T. J. Watkins, Poplar Hill, N. C. —Here,
where we have little frest and heavy
rains in winter, nothing is gained by
Fall plowing. It may be of importance
to the Northern farmers in getting an
; early start in spring, but we are not so
| hurried. I have plowed alluvial land with
I a heavy coat, of vegetation and thought
; it helped in the mechanical condition.
; Land plowed in the fall is generally
j closer in the spring than before. I have
tried burning in the spring and plow
ing at once with good effect. We have
abandoned fall plowing unless some crop
is sown as a winter cover. Experience
is a dear school, and I have had my
share in it, and hope the younger gen
eration may profit by it.
SAVING CABBAGE FOR SEED.
M. W. Eller, Zionville. N. C.—“T wish
someone would give me information
about keeping cabbages for seed. How
do seedsmen keep them from rotting
until spring?” I greatly doubt whether
the Southern States are the proper place
for raising cabbage seed, but it can be
done. Our friend would probably have
to proceed in the same way that North
ern growers raise seed of early varie
ties, namely, by starting the plants late
In she season so that they are not over
ripe by the time that winter sets in.
Possibly cabbage seed at the South could
be grown in one year, from plants start
ed in winter or early spring; but such
seed would soon deteriorate. The fol
lowing directions for growing and keep
ing early cabbages for seed purposes are
taken from Brill’s Farm Gardening and
Seed Growing: “I sow three separate
times, and as near as may be the first
tenth and twentieth of June. * * * When
the plants are large enough to handle
they may be set out. but at this season
of the year transplanting is not always
practicable, hence my reason for making
three different sowings, in hopes that
we may be favored with rain at such time
as one lot or the other will be in con
dition to set out. A piece of land on
which has been grown peas, spinach, or
other early maturing crop is used, being
plowed, harrowed and marked out all
ready for such time as the rain may
come. The land is well manured, broad
cast, for the first crop in anticipation of
the second, hence no further manuring
is necessary, and, in fact, I have found
tht early cabbages grown late, in over
rich ground, are apt to be tender, and
do not preserve so well over winter as
when less stimulated. * * * I always wish
to get at least a part of the early sown
plants set out, as they get lully head
ed, and give a chance for a very choice
selection for stock seed, while the second
or last sown, in consequence of not be
ing quite so hardheadod, generally winter
the best. * * * About the first ot No
vember another plat of ground is taken —
one which has just been cleared of a crop
and was well manured in the spring, as
T find that cabbage seed does better on
such than on freshly manured land.
This is deeply plowed, harrowed and
quite deep furrows marked out, four feet
apart. The choice cabbage from tho bed
are placed in these furrows, eighteen
inches apart, and laid parallel with the
furrows, at an angle of 45 degrees, al-

ways, if possible, with the head to the
north, that the stalk, which is the most
tender part, may be the better pro
tected. The earth is drawn in abun
dantly, and pressed over the root and
stalk,, and partially over the leaves
which are gathered about and over the
head. Nothing more is required until
the approach of severe weather, when
with plow and hoe the earth must be
drawn over the whole, abundantly over
the stalk, and firmly pressed, and suffi
ciently over the head to protect it from
alternate freezing and thawing rather
than from the frost. As early in the
spring as the ground can be worked,
the soil must be removed from the heads
by' plowing away, and carefully using toe
hoe, and the outer leaves of the head be
separated to allow the heart or centra
germ to come through. * * * Cultivate
and hoe, and when the plants are eigh
teen to twenty-four inches high, throw
the earth to them for support, or better
still, tie to stakes. * * * Os course, there
are various other plans and methods of
planting cabbage for seed purposes. The
seed, when ripe, is harvested, threshed
and cleaned, all of which operations
present no particular difficulties. Cab
bage growers, outside of a few favored
spots (Long Island, Puget Sound, etef
will do better to buy their cabbage seed
than attempt to grow it. Whenever it
is undertaken, however, the local condi
tions must be taken in consideration.
Notes From a Carolina Garden.
Only three days of November remain
and (no killing frost yet. Our Irish po
tatoes are planted, and we are getting
afraid they may come up. We had some
Black Eye peas planted in rows in the
garden for table use. The peas were all
gathered and we then ran deep furrows
between the rows and dropped the pota
toes whole. Then a furrow was lapped
over from each side and the middles
plowed out clean. The deep spaces be
tween the beds were then filled with
leaves to prevent too hard freezing, and
we hope they will be all right till spring
Big Boston and Hanson lettuce are bead
ed well and going to market at 75 cents
a dozen to the grocers, and there has
been no glass used over them at all. If
we were growing on a larger scale and
had to ship Noith it is probable that we
would not clear this price for the lettuce.
But we are only growing for the local
market and the dealers send out for it.
Spinach, too, is selling very well. It
has always amused me to note in most
books on gardening that they advise the
sowing of the prickly seed spinach in
the fall and the smooth seeded in the
spring. All gardeners I know do the
very opposite. In fact few market gar
deners ever sow any of the prickly
seeded spinach at any time. I never do.
Then, too, here in late November we
are bunching green onions fully as large
as they usually are in March. What the
winter may do for them is to be seen.
In the flower garden the Amaryllis
Johnsonii are still throwing up their big
crimson lily-like flowers. Roses are still
with us as a matter of course, and there
are stiff' some pretty chrysanthemums,
but most of these have withered. Gan
nas as bright as July still adorn the
beds though Ghristmas is less than a
month off.
November 28. First killing frost last
night.
Farmers Should Raise More Poultry.
(Sanford Express.)
There is one thing the Express be
lieves would pay well in this section,
and that is poultry raising even for the
local market. Good sized chickens sell
here now at from 15 to 25 cents. Eggs
sell at 20 cents per dozen, and bring 15
the year round. There is no trouble in
gftting the cash for them. The demand
is increasing all the time for these neces
sary products of the farm. An exchange
says, and truly: The reason for the in
creased demand, and consequently higher
prices, is very evident. So many people
have left the farm and moved to cotton
mills and the number of people who raise
their own chickens in the towns and
cities is constantly decreasing, because
as these places become more populous
there is less opportunity for raising
chickens. The progressive farmers should
take advantage of this situation and pre
pare a place, fencing it in properly so
as not to have their crops injured, and
get ready for poultry raising for market
on a more extensive scale. It will furn
ish ready money all the year round.
Small patches of grain or clover can be
sown for the chickens and thus reduce the
expense of keeping them very materially
The advantages of diversified farming are
becoming more and more apparent.
Knock* Out Hcg Cholera.
(Norfolk Pilot-Virginian.)
Suffolk, Va., Dec. 11.—Mr. E. D. Brink
ley, the supervisor from Cpyress district
of Nansemond county, has discovered
what he considers an infallible preventa
tive against hog cholera. He says if
pork growers will plant a liberal supply
of pumpkins and feed the product to his
swine they will never have cholera. Mr.
Brinkley has been using them several
years and not a single case has developed
among his herd,. Other persons who
have tried them find pumpkins equally
effective.
Not only that, but they make a cheap
fattening food and hogs will eat them vo
raciously. At pork’s present prices the
cholera antidote should be worth the
knowing. And it will help the consum
ers. too.

A BOMANCE 'WITH A MORAL
Short Stories From Beal Life That Quicken the

to True Students of Nature.
It happened in what is generally
called the tenderloin district, but why
“tenderloin,” is hard to imagine—“tough
roast” seems much more appropriate for
there is certainly nothing in that vicinity
that can be called tender, unless it is the
little children and it is said that they

way it happened.
“Bcttie, The Affectionate,” or Bettie
Davis as her name reads on the church
roll, is a female specimen of the dark
skinned habitants of that district. She
has a reputation which is all her own
and of which there is certainly no one
envious. Her long suit is not her good
looks, as might be imagined, but rather
her winning ways—when she asks you to
give her a quarter to help on the re
building of her church, or to make a do

you with a smile that would move a house

Last Saturday night as Arthur Alston,
a gentleman of color, was wending his
way home from his day's labor, he was
spied by the ever-vigilant Elizabeth and
asked to contribute. Now Arthur allowed

thing, whereupon the most foxy and
effeminate Bettie by pressing him to her
bosom attracted his attention while she
cleverly extracted $1.50 (his all in all)
from his trousers pocket.
When he finally was aroused from the
delightful bliss occasioned by much kiss
ing and other tokens of love, on Bettie’s
part, he thought about his one fifty. It
was gone and so was Bettie.
So straightway he hied himself to the
city court of justice and invested In a

fection by which only she herself profited.

“Bettie you may go down and use year af
