Agricultural 1 Prepare for Winter Care of afl pi Live Stock. at Progressive Farmer. ai is Durinic October must, begin ^ the special care which live stock |j( requires during the winter sea- a(? sou. The dry paaturos which ju are almost certain to come in m late fall and the cold rains ot wi early winter have muchtodo with in the poor, weakened condition ot ^ so many animals in the spring. A little care aud feed in the late I I ft t fall will save much trouble later. JSC Tills is especially so with the young colts and calves. The dry, indigestible, frost-killed grasses, s0 even though abundant, are not jp sufficient to maintain these ani- of mals,in good vigorous condition, gr Every winter a large number of tw calves die lrom starvation, pure tli and simple. Good feed may be P( given when too late, but the w lack of suitable feed during the P1 fall has deranged their digestion 111 and the feed given later is of no value to them. In addition to the long forage already referred to, which every farmer should save, it will also pay to save more of the cotton seed for winter feeding. If the cf manure be properly saved,'it j will be worth nearly as much "as " ii ??i * i 0' the seed will bring on the ^mar- Kl ? ? VJ ket and the feeding value is worth g( something. It the animal is g kept for beef or pork it will not w pay to lose flesh. The beef ani yj mal (that is, the animal of the cow kind kept for its growth to be 6old by weight,) which loses weight is living on beet?and feed is always cheaper than beef, tj or we ought not to grow beel. u But how manyyoung cattle come Jr out in the spring as heavy as jjj when they went into winter tc quarteip? This is the month then to save out enough cottond see to rj help supply the necessities of the cattle. It is not too early to begin thinking about a good shelter for the farm stock this winter. We do not need expensive, closely built houses, but we do 1 need protection from cold wind and rain. More cattle die from a exposure in North Carolina than a* in Minnesota, and the tact is no n< t. r* i cretin 'o us. v/' (1 ? h Hog Notes. IT1 By Shepherd. Bush the fattening hogs now. Keep salt, sulphur and charcoal where the brood sows can 1 help themselves all of the time. While every farm should have 1,1 a few pigs, a few are often more n: profitable than a large number. w Continuous growth is necessa- n; ry to make swine profitable, and lj this cannot be obtained without p( plenty of feed. An abundance of pure water i V i is as essential to health and wellH( being of the hog as food. Do not make the slops a sub- ^ etitute for water for the hogs, but give them a supply of fresh water daily. The start that the pig gets in ifr the first three months of its life, I*1 has much to do with its thrift aij and future profit, and the pigs Q'j should be taught to eat as early (toi Department. i possible, and good food be ovided where they can get ; it. No one could reasonably expect ly animal to be profitable that allowed to pick a living from e refuse of the farm ; yet the >g is a particularly valuable Idition to the stock of the farm, st because it will manufacture any of the materials which ould be refused by other stock to meat and manure, and in is way save them from being st entirely.

From the Baptist Press We have just passed through 4 an old time revival" in our churches. Before these meetings began we prayed for just such meetings as we had. They were j such great and glorious meetings I must tell you of them. We began at Bethlehem on the fourth Sunday in July. The church was greatly revived and ? ? ....? i - e ?_ i a uumutjr Ul 8DUIH BHVea. From Bethlehem we went to White Plain. The life of the church was quickened and many souls converted to God. From Plain we went to Taxahaw. The meeting at this place closed in the beginning of the longed-for revival ; yet the church was re- | vived and several souls saved From Taxahaw we came to our home church, Fork Hill. Here we experienced one of the good old time revival meetings. The life of the church was quicken ed and many souls saved. From Fork Hill we went to Charlesboro. When we reached this place we found the church at its best work. God greatly blessed this church and its member ship was nearly doubled. From Cliarlesboro we went to Flint Ridge. By this time the revival tide was high and it look* ed as if every uusaved soul was trying to find tho Christ. Many were saved. This closed the sum* mer meetings in our field. We spent one week at each place. We had Dr. J- H. Boldridge and BrethernE. F. Rice, J. F. Hammond, P. E. Blackmon and T. W. Faile, to do some faithful preaching for us. ^ We thank God for such men. They are men of God. The writer did most of the preaching. God be praised for any good lie di 1. Undoubtedly we have the best people in the world. I have served here seven years and all is well. God be praised.

Many souls were saved and many Christians wore quickened and their zeal renewed. The Master's cause was crea1 ly st lengthened and the devil's march was seriously checked. The L >rd is passing this way and our poo pie are hearing him. One feature of these meetings deserves special mention just, here. The majority 0t the 137 baptized are young men. This is an answer to our prayers and vote in Lancaster county. Give us no dispensary, but give us men. The dispensary is gone ; the men are coming.
