There can be no question among prac tical dairymen, however much scientific men may doubt it, that rich food will produce rich milk that is, food rich in fat will add to the fat in the milk. The common practice among the best dairy men is to feed the cows fully with such food as is given under ordinary circum stances, and then either change a part of it or add to it some other kind which contains a large quantity of fat. Thus, a cow fed on clover hay, with as much cornmeal as she will eat, may have two quarts of the meal changed for two quarts of cottonseed meal, which contains nearly three times as much fat as the cornmeal. This change of food will al most always result in the production of more butter without increasing the milk that is, the milk is richer in fat. A cow that is fed on hay and bran will increase in butter if the bran is displaced by cornmeal. New York Times. LEARNING TO WALK. During the winter after the rush of the work is over is a good time to break the colts. Get them accustomed to light work in the winter so that if need be they can be used to some extent dur ing the more pressing work in the spring. One item is of great importance in break ing the colts, and that is to train them to walk well. A larger part of the farm work is done in a walk and it will make considerable difference in the amount of work done whether the team are good walkers or not. One item in doing this i3 to only work them with horses that are good walkers. One of the best plans of managing a colt is to commence walking it with a good gaited but steady going horse that will take whatever load they are hitched to without difficulty. If, however, he is slow, the colt will soon learn the same gait, and little care in this respect at the start will make a con siderable difference in a short time. Be sure at first that the horse used in break ing the colt i3 naturally a good walker and then see that the colt is well broken beside him and an important point will have been gained. Chicago Times. PRUNING TREES IN WINTER. Notwithstanding many say that winter pruning of trees is injurious, I contend that it is not. If done when the wood is not frozen, and the wounds (any over one-fourth of an inch in diameter) be cemented over or even coated with boiled linseed oil, there is no danger of black spots or the flat headed borer tak ing advantage of it. The covering of the wounds can b.-j done a month after the pruning, as by that time it will have dried so as to take the oil or cement the better. I have already done some prun ing this fall. There is another advan tage in pruning now, where the rabbits are pknty, as the green brush will give them something to bark, instead of their attacking young trees, much to their in jury oft times. If young trees are prop erly trained from their infancy there need be no other tool needed than a good pocket knife. The pruning of trees in June, as some recommend, I de mur most emphatically, as from all my experience, where it becomes necessary from the effects of storms, the result was injurious. It stands to reason that when a tree is in full growth that any foliage taken from it, the result is a check, and cannot be otherwise than injurious. Colman's Rural World. HOW TO DRESS CALVES. 'Calves from three to six weeks old, and weighing about 100 pounds, or say from eighty to 120 pounds, are the most desirable weights for shipment," said a leading dealer in Faneuil Hall Market. "You ask the way to dress calves," said he; 'there is only one way. The head should be cut squarely off. In some cases the head is scalded and dressed and sent to market, but in most cases is over looked and left at home. The legs should be cutoff at the knee joint. The entrails should be removed, excepting the kid neys. The liver, lights and heart should be taken out. Cut the carcass open from the neck through the entire length,, from head to crotch. If this is done they are uot so apt to sour and spoil during hot weather. Do not wash the carcass out with water, but with a dry cloth. Do not ship until the animal heat is entirely out of the body, and never tie the carcass up in a bag, as this keeps the air from cir culating, and makes the meat more liable to become tainted "Mark for shipment by fastening a shipping tag to the hind leg. Calves under fifty pounds should not be shipped, and are liable to be seized by the health officers as being unfit for food. Dealers, too, are liable to be fined if found sell ing these slunks, for violation of the law. Very heavy calves, such as have been feu upon buttermilk, never sell well in the Boston market, for they are neither veal nor beef." Boston Cultivator. HAULING OUT MANURE. After the harvest work is finished and the plowing for the seed has been dene there is usually a good opportunity for hauling out manure, and, for winter wheat and grass that is to b3 sown in the fall, this is on of the best times to manure; and by applying alter plowing the work of preparing in a good tilth will work it well into the soil. On mans farms it is difficult to find time to haul manure during the main work of culti vating the com and of harvesting the wheat, oats and hay, so that a consider able quantity will, in many cases, accu mulate, and both the meadow and wheat will be largely benefited by an application of this kind. When it can be done the better plan is to haul the manure direct from the stable to the fields and to scat ter direct from the wagons, taking pain3, of course, to scatter evenly, and to avoid leaving in large lumps, as, if they get dry and hard, it is sometimes difficult to properly fine. In order to secure the best results with manure it is important to have it in such a condition that it can be thoroughly incorporated into the soil and applied on the ground. After plow ing the work of harrowing should fol low, to get into a proper tilth for sow ing the seed. With both winter wheat and fall-sown grass it is very important to have the soil to the depth of at least three inches worked into a good tilth, and the harrow or spring-tooth culti vator can be used to a good advantage in doing this, an 1 if the manure is scat tered before this is done it will be worked well into the soil. Clear up thoroughly ; everything that can be con verted into a good fertilizer should ba gathered up and hauled out. The ma jority of our soils need all the fertilizer it is possible to xecure, and a thorough cleaning up of the stables, sheds and yards should be made at this time. Farmers' Jieoiem. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Mature plants for winter work. Harvest ice and fuel crops early. Feed and water stock regularly. Arrange to farm better next year. Lay your plans for next year's work. See that each fowl gets its share of feed. Carefully save all the meat scraps for your fowls. Now crowd the feed if you are fatten ing beef, pigs or poultry. Never allow your horses to stand in the wind or cold unblanketed. Remember that sand, gravel and like substances are essential to fowls. Watch prices and prospects, and market your produce opportunely. Wise stock raisers now try to grow meat rather than to accumulate fat. Land plaster, carbolic acid and kero sene ace all good for the chicken house. Do not forget that hens learn to eat eggs by having the broken ones left in the nest. Do not neglect to place clean, jnire water every day in accessible places for for your fowls. Starving or freezing an animal is one way to render farming both unprofitable and unpopular. Make the most profitable use possible of all by products, for in these often lie the profits of farming. Organization and co-operation are potent factors for farmers; give them your encouragement and support. Alternately starving and gorging a pig does not make "a streak of fat and a streak of lean." Feed regularly. Twenty -five or thirty pounds of granu lated sugar syrup is sufficient winter and spring food for one colony of bees. In no place will it pay better to feed out refuse, cabbage herds and other green stuff than in the poultry yard. While generally it is not advisable to make a specialty of hogs, yet, neverthe less, they can be kept on every farm with profit. Even in winter it will be found best to change the materials in the nests oc casionally, in order to keep them from becoming foul. If pigs are Jo be sold before they are matured care should be taken to have them in a good growing condition in order to realize fine prices. On hardly one farm in ten is any pro vision made for saving liquid manure, that valuable fertilizer whieh is nearly equal in value to the solid portion. The principal reason why fall pigs are not more profitable is because sufficient care is not taken to receive a healthy, thrifty growth during the winter. Hogs never should be allowed to sleep on the manure piles, it induces mange as well a9 an unhealthy condition in the sys tem, that it will be found be3t to avoid. Let fowls now have full sway among the grass, shrubs and orchards. They will enjoy the exercise and make havoc among the grubs, slugs, worms and other insects that are injurious to vegetable life. Moreover the diet is cheap and healthy. Covering strawberries, spinach, kale, pansies, etc., should now be attended to at once if it has not been done already. Bear in mind that the covering should be light, evergreen boughs are the best; salt sedge or thatch next, and coarse, strawy horse manure next. How delighted most farmers would be to own a cow that would give a pound of butter every day for a year! But sveh cows are not difficult to find if properly fed and cared for. And still we can't induce one farmer in twenty, perhaps not one in a hundred, to find out what either his best or his poorest cow is worth to him. Black currants are not so much used in this country as in England where theii merits are better appreciated; they arc very hardy and prolific and make jellies, tarts and preserves that are esteemed a great delicacy by the English. The lik ing for the raw fruit must be acquired by practice; few people relish them the first time they eat them, but become very fond of them after a while. The native hemlock is, to our eye, most beautiful of evergreens. For hedge it has no equal making a beautiful and compact one standing shearing per fectly into any desired shape. It is easily transplanted, and when its new and bright green foliage appears it is exquisitely beautiful. It makes hand some trees in isolated positions and is among the best of windbreaks. ALLIANCE TOPICS. The Southern Farmers Opportunity And Duty. An Exposition of What Constitutes a Prosperous Country; Skilled Labor is Wealth. By the operation of nature's laws this year would seem destined to be the turn in point in the financial condition of the great mass of the farmers of the world. For years past the price of the products of the farm has been gradually decreas ing, and the decrease has been intensified bthe abunbance of the crops raised, not only here but in all the great cereal growiag countries of the world. The ef fect of this decreased value has been to umterially reduce the area planted to, ce reals; but this reduction alone would not have been sufficient to cause any substan tial rise in the value of crops, had it not been that nature had come to man's assis tance, and by climatic causes, operating :ot only here" but almost throughout the world, caused a material reduction in the crop yields, sufficient, we believe, to cause a near approximation to supply and demand, and to lift from the market that overwhelming surplus which whilst it ex isted surely prevented a rise in value. We are now in receipt of the returns of the year's crops from the principal producing countries of the world, and an examina tion of them yields some startling results. Taking this country first, we rind that there w ill be a probable decrease of 115, 000,000 to 120,000,000 bushels of wheat below the crop of 1889; corn will show u decrease of about 000,000,060, and oats will yield less by probably 300,000,000 bushels than last year. Adding these three staples together, we have a gross deficiency of 1,020,060,000 bushels of grain in this country alone. The returns from England show that she will need to import quite as much wheat as last year, sav 144,000,000 btishels. France, also, will need to import from 40,000,000 t(. oO, 000, 000 bushels. Indeed, the whole of Europe, taken together, will require to import about 20,000,000 bushels. The Indian wheat harvest is officially reported at 13 per cent, below the average of the last five years, with a decrease in area of 1,500,000 acres and in yield 955,000 tons. AVith such figures as these before him no one can doubt but there must be a sub stantial increase in the value of all the cereals during the winter, and we are strongly of opinion that this will be a permanent increase, as the shortage will, from the natural increase in population and decrease in the area of available land, be ix permanent ono that is to say, that oven giving good average crops, the sur plus having been swept away by this year of diminished production, supply and demand will continue for some years to nearly balance each other, and so a permanent higher level of prices will be maintained. Now hexa is the Southern farmers' opportunity, and he should make hste to seize it. In this and the adjoin ing Southern States we have had rathe uuder an average wheat crop, but wc have an abundant corn crop. Let, then, every farmer economize in the use oi wheat and corn, and hold them as long as he can conveniently. Usually corn is extravagantly fed here and other equally valuable feeds are neglected, or, if used at all, only, to a very small extent. Bran, cotton seed, and cotton seed meal may with great economy be substituted for a part of the corn ration for horses, cattle and hogs. Bran will no doubt advance in price, but may yet be bought so as to save money when compared with corn. The cotton crop being a large one, cotton seed and cotton seed meal is likely to be cheap and ought to be used freely. In this way corn may be saved and money be made by its sale whilst the head of pay ing stock on the farm need not be reduc ed. Market all stock in excess of what can be well and profitably fed at once, and do not waste an ounce of corn upon them. Southern Planter. SKILLED LABOR IS WEALTH. The South in natural products is with out a rival, says the Constitution. All the world utilizes her raw material for commerce and manufacturers. But the raw material alone cannot make any section rich. We have inex haustible fields of iron, buttheerude iron is comparatively of little value. It takes skilled labor to make it count. A single iron bar worth $5, worked into horse shoes is worth $10.50; made into needles it is worth $355, and made into balance springs of watches it is worth $250,000! This is an example of what skilled la bor can do. Then we Leave cotton. A bale is worth about $50. Skilled Jlabor comes along and turns it into calico worth $250, or into the finest lace worth $10,000! We might go on indefinitely on the line, but these two illustrations show how the value of a crude product is multiplied when skilled labor takes hold of it. Here in the South we are just entering upou our march of industrial progress. Our greatest need is to have our labor properly trained. The technological school is Georgia's latest effort in that direction. With the judicious support of the State it will open for our brainy and ambitious young men brighter, more useful and more profitable fields in devel oping our material resources than any profession can offer. Money spent on this school will be a good investment. It will train up an army of workers who will turn our iron and cotton and other raw material into thousands of useful and beautiful forms that will make this the richest spot on the globe.

WHEN THE NEW WEARS OFF. He was a youth, and she, a maid, Both liappy young and gay, They loved and life to them was f' As one continuous May. The croaker9 saw this happiness, And said, "Ah, love i3 blind; Your're happy now, but care will com?, When the new wears off, you'll find." They marrieJ,and then their life grew rich With calmer, riper joy; They were as man and wife more fond Than when as girl and boy. Their "friends" could not endure the sight. And said, with worldly wit, It will not be so bright and fine When the new wears off a bit." Ah, well the new wore off, of course, And then, what did they find? An oldness which was better far.

For mauy year3 scientists have been perplexed over the phenomenon of a certain well at Yakutsk, Siberia. As long ago as 1823 a Russian merchant be gan to sink this noted well, and after working on it for three years, gave it up as a bad job, having at that time sunk it to a depth of thirty feet without getting through the frozen ground. He com municated these facts to the Russian Academy of Sciences, who sent men to take charge of the digging operation at the wonderful well. These scientific gentlemen toiled away at their work f or several years, but at last abandoned it when a depth of 382 feet was reached, with the earth still frozen a3 hard as a rock. In 1844 the academy had the temperature of the soil at the sides of the well taken at yarious depths. From the data thus obtained they came to the startling conclusion that the ground was frozen to a depth exceeding 600 feet. Although il is known to meteorolo gists that the pole of the lowest known temperature is in that region of Siberia, it is conceded that not even that rigorous climate could force frost to such a great depth below the surface. After figuring on the subject for over a quarter of a century geologists have come to the con clusion that the great frozen valley of the Lena River was deposited, frozen just as it is found to-day, during the great grinding up era of the glacial epoch.
