TOHACCO. - - The best toil for arrowing the "Block Wrapper" it a dark, rich loam. Black loam is inclined to make dark tobacco. The manure should be well rotted, if any can be had. Fresh manure inclines to ' fire it up and "head in," and should not . be used. If a fertilizer is used it should not be put immediately in the hill, it will do better to scatter it around tho hill. The soil should be broken deep and well pniverizea. 41 a good freeze comes alter ' the first breaking so much the better, it - . will clear the soil of cut worms, - ., 'i ' !;i , raCASTTBEES. f , The pecan belongs to the same 'genus with the hickory, and is equally difficult- - ' to transplant, it will not grow from cut- . ; . tines, and require considerable care to tranipiani it. ine nuts Louia De cure- futlv gathered from the tree, and buried ; hinder some loose earth and trash, so that they will be kept cool and moist, snd where they will not be disturbed by ver- -; min. Then pknt them as you would peach-stones, say in February or March, or just as they begin to sprout. In other J - worasv manage aooui .as peaca-siones. It ia better to plant. the nuts just where you wish the treea to permanently grow. -But if not convenient to do this, cut off the tap root the next fall, and transplant again, ana so on until reauy io sci mem permanently, transplaming, or re-setting every fall until finally located. The trees, if well cultivated, will commence to cear a few nuts in eight or ten years, and the 4 yield will rapidly incrertse annually, as the trees become larger. . ' TO MAM GOOD HAMS. The Westphalia bam sre made as fol lows: Well rubbed with dry salt and left to drain twenty-four hours. Take two quarts of salt; two quarts of bag (rock) salt; three pounds of brown sugar; one pound of saltpetre lour ounces ox sai pranelle, snd four ounces Juniper berries, well mixed and boiled in six quarts of water. The brine i thin cooled and skimmed. The hams are then taken ' from tbe talt and wiped dry, and the cold pickle poured over them and rubbed in. There should lie enough brine to cover the meat. Turn tho meat every second day for three: weeks, then take . . ( . them out, wiiie lry, ana a mixture oi ground pepper, salt and bran I thor oughly rubbed in, filing all cracks ami openings. They are then smoked a little every Jay for three month or more, until completely dry, when they will keep and .t Improve In flavor for years. Pyroligne ous acid will keep off flic and animalcu m of all kinds, and improve tho flavor of the meat. EOOt ISO BCTTEB. A lady In Watet Valley, Mia., writes fo a Southern farm journal: "At I wrote you what 1 was doing in the Summer , , , w ith our 'scrub stock,' I will now tell you what I have made ch ar of expense In ! one year. Have sold 1,01 pounds of but- y j ter, besides what we used at home, at twenty-five cent per 'pound, making 2-4. Altn twelve dolliir worthofegct . and seven dollars worth of turkeys. So ' you see tiuit farmers' wive can do some thing to help their husband if they will only try.i I have not been running a , 'dairy,' but simply selling the surplus . butler from the cows we kept to supply ""' the family Uble." ,, Ulackbebries. . The people, of North Carolina pay more attention to the gathering of wild berries, roots and herbs than the inhabitants of any other Sonthcra state. During the last blackberry season a single farm in Greensboro shipped in one day 18,000 f pounds of dried blackberries. This is;t the kind of work for women and child ren, as well as the gathering of herbs' snd '' roots, of which we shall soon have some- ,tJ t thing practical to give to our female reader.
