A South Carolina farmer who ha quit cotton and gone into stock raisinx In a small way is well pleased with th results at this time. He says I an right much enthused over the cou as a. money-maker. Four years ag< I bought a little .Tersey cow with heifer calf. from which I have an increas< of ten to date, eleven including od cow-seven females. I could sell the Increase-ten-for $50 each, or perhnps more. Now, $250 or $300 profit on an in vestment of $0 in four years is a larger per cent. than any manufactur ing concern I know of; besides the an nure, milk and butter, which is of far more value than the cost of keepinZ cows. E:mnect six -new calves within the next six months from this same herd, and enough manure to make larger crors than I have ever mode on several times the amount of land with commercial fertilizers. This ynt I have gathered from twenty to thirty bushels corn per acre without com mercial fertilizers, on land that three years ago didn't make more than five or six bushels. I raise about $100 worth of hogs every year: in my lot principally. Expect to raise more as soon as I can get suffi-ient fences to run them in m.- fields. Expect a mule colt in Ma-ch, and want your opinion, please, concerning the raising of it. Could I tak? it from mare as soon as It drops and raise it on cow's milk in pan, as I raise my calves. If so, will It be necessary to give it milk from a cow with very young calf. And would It not be well to let colt stay with mare a few days. And would I have much trouble in drying mare's milk up. Think by this course, if-'it will work. I would be saved a -great deal of trouble weaning colt, working mare and he able to keep her fat. P' : se Inform fully. Bought this place three years since In a ve-y much run-down condition. 'lanted cotton two years and lost money (did not plant any this year), but thought I would first make plenty provisions-wheat, corn. oats, peas, po tatoes. hay and everything for man and beast to eat. and build up my land. and next year plant some cotton and try to make a bale per acre. I expect to have what I do make clear, except the acid and kainit and the provisions (which I have on hand). I advanced in making it. All will be after good growth peas. which, with cows. I ex pect to build my land up to a profitable state of production. As I planted no cotton, am handling rery little money this fall, tod "cuffy"' ate.

Grafting and Budding. It is very difficult to graft nut-bear ing trees. A pecan can be grafted on a hickory if properly done. The peach, it is said, will grow on a plum stock; and a Romanite apple upon a syca more sprout, but I have never tiled either. Grafts, if not already cut, should be cut and put in a cool damp place and kept dormant till the buds of the tree to be grafted begin to burst. Choose a pleasant day when the sap is in flow. Grafting wax should be prepared in the following proportions: One part tallow, two parts beeswax and foux parts rosin, or '"scrape" frpm a pint tree, melted together. Into this mix hre dip strips of clo'th three-fourths of an inch wide. Prepare grafts, a small one for small stock, and large one for a larg< stock, with three to four buds to eaci graft. Cut the graft wedge-shaped with the inner edge thinnest. c-om mencing the slope at tihe lowest bud The stock to be grafted upon shoul< be in good growing condition.

TACOMA'S BIG SAWMILL. With one Exception it is the Largest in the World. At Tacoma I visited a sawmill said to 'Iave a greater capacity than any other in the Unit*- States, and, with one exception (in Norway), the great est in the world. It is, in fact, two separate mills, covering a wide, low flat, with docks on the sound where ships can be ov.ded at the door of the yards. Here the logs from the camp which we visiced are sawed. They are dumped from the railroad cars into I ponds of water and held until the .nill is ready to cut them into lumber. Mr. i Royce showed me through this great 1 establishment, with its devices for )handliag the enormous logs of fir and cedar, hemlock and spruce, which come to It daily. * Nearly every step in the long pro cess is performed by some human-like machine. Logs weighing many tons are handled like jackstraws, pulled out of the water, whirled over, lifted about, gripped, slabbed off, turned again easily, and, directed by the swift and sure judgment of the expert sawyer, driven through hand-saws or great gang-saws, cutting twenty boards or more at once, and finally trimmed n to certain lengths-everything moving at once, smoothly, with absolute exact. itude. In fifteen minutes from the ! time the log enters the mill it has been reduced to lumber of several grades; the poor parts have been whittled up into lath and shingles, the slabs have been shot out on a great pile for fire wood, and the remaining bark, saw h dust and refuse have been carried u away to the fire heap. This-mill cuts ?I 100,000,009 feet of lumber and 90,000, - 000,000 shingles a year, and its product goes the world over-to Australia, Ha waii, China. South Africa, South America and Europe.-From Ray Stannai Baker's "The Conquest of the Forest" In the Century. Darwin's Comparison.
