[From the Southern Cultivator.] The business of the farmer demands i knowledge of the laws of nature so far a they relate to phenomena connected witl the soil, plants, animals, insects and me teorology. With a knowledge of thes laws he can conduct all of his operation in conformity with them and thu9 attaii success. Ail violations of these laws mus cause discomfiture. No wise lawgive qitoi* unonto o loir roitVinntofflvinff a nonal \J V VI VUMVIO ?* 1U Tf If ?WlIVU?WU*ftiU^ M fVUUI ty, and surely the Author of the laws gov erning the material universe was too wis to omit so necessary an appendage or con sequence of violation. The end of all agriculture production i animal consumption either as food o clothing for animals, man included. Thi factory which converts cotton into yarn as its finished product leaves the profit o converting these into cloth to another fac tory. Let us then regard all of our do mestic animals as machines for theconver sion of cheap vegetable matter into raori valuable animal products, such as wool beef, mutton, pork, milk, eggs, poultry, o in the cases of horses and mules?work In this view the more vegetable substance utilized by these animal factories th< greater the dividends declared to thi owners of the factories. The farmer's first business is with thi soil, the great storehouse of energy de rived from- the sun. He must study thi character and needs of his soil with re ference to both its physical condition ant chemical constituents. He must see tha the latter are present in character ant quantity to supply the demands of plant and the former is such that the roots of thi plant may readily penetrate and gathe the food necessary for building up its or ganism. In the order of creation the eartl was clothed with vegetation before ani mal life was possible. The same is trui to-day, and more; plants alone organizi the matters of dead earth and air inti life. The farmer, therefore, must lean the laws of plant-growth and nutritioi and the conditions which contribute mos effectively to the fulfillment of the desti ny to which man has devoted it. This in volves skillful manipulation of the soi physically and chemically with specia WAfAMAn/IA A AMAVVIA iU A A i A A M^uAMwt icicicuto L\J cuauio uio pmiib iu rtppiupu ate material needed to its own advantage Since plants take all their food either ii solution in waters as the vehicle or a gases, meteorological conditions are' o prime importance. How then, shall w< regard the plan ? Certainly as a factor: in which the crude material of soil is con verted into more valuable vegetable pro ducts capable of being utilized by man anc beast. The conditions necessary for the success ful operation of this factory being supjplled it becomes self-propelling?the physical chemical and vital forces co-operating t< carry it forward to the fulfillment of it: destiny. This destiny being fulfilled w< have the raw material for supplying me chanical factories if fibre is the finishet product to which the plant is devotedanimal factories if a food product results. The soil, then, and air furnish the rav material for the animal factory, while th< latter is devoted to supplying the master piece of God's creation?man. The faro is incomplete without this last, and, wher properly handled, most profitable finish ing machine. This becomes especially ap parent when we consider the fact that ? by-product of this animal factory?th( manure?contributes in such important de gree to the reproduction of its own rav material. Let us take the sheep, for instance, tc illustrate this point. Grass organizes th( substances of soil and air into food foi the sheep, or, if used as hay, into an arti cle of commerce. If converted into haj for market, costly labor must be expended in harvesting, housing, baling to market If utilized directly by the sheep we hav< no further expense connected with it, but i> is manufactured into wool and mutton bj the animal which demands nothing at oui hands except an occasional ration of salt If converted into hay for market, whoevei purchases the hay must pay the grower not only the cost of growing, but that o harvesting and marketing, and if the con sutner lives at a distance from the haj field he must pay the cost of transports tion and the merchants' profit besides Now if he can afford to pay these charge* in addition to the cost of growing the hay and yet make a profit by feeding it, sureh he who utilizes the quiet sheep to raanu facture his hay in his fields should realizt much more, since the manure, being re turned to the soil, is only robbed of the plant food sold in wool or mutton. Our people do not seem to appreciate the fact that the conversion of all availa ble material derived from the soil inte the more valuable and compact anima products without the intervention of s< much costly human labor constitutes ? most important factor in determining the question of success or failure. They de not sufficiently appreciate the fact tha nearly all the nitrogen of the food con sumed by a grown animal and all of the phosphoric acid and potash contained ir the food are exerted in the solid and liquic manure. One of the most culpable, waste! of which any people were ever guilty is that of applying cotton seed and cottor seed meal as a manure without first run ning them through the animal machine Both are most valuable feedstuff's whicl would be equally valuable as manure aftei passing through the animal if the solic and liquid excreta were saved. Lawes es timates the value of the manure from ? ton of cotton seed meal at $27 in England The meal costs us here much less thar that. It is true that it is not now practi cable to feed the entire product of cottor seed in the South because there are no enough stock to consume them. On many Southern plantations enougl peas, potatoes and small grain is wasted t( produce, if consumed by swine, enougl bacon for the family of the proprietor, anc enough hay dries in the fields, if harvestec and fed in connection with cotton seed, t( produce more value in beef and milk thar the cotton crop upon the plantation wil bring after paying cost of production o: the latter. We lail to utilize the verj forces of nature which do our bidding uiosl willingly and profitably. So true is this that the measure of success of the tillers o: the soil in the South may be very accurate ly gauged by the attention given to stocfe breeding. Stock on the farm often utilize with profit vegetable growths, which would, unconsumed, not only remain with' out profit, but prove a positive injury The most prosperous farmers are thost who avail themselves of the animal facto ry to the fullest extent, and while the "cot ton-tot" is wearing out his land the stock farmer is annually and rapidly improving his. The introduction of thoroughbred males all over the South would in twc years double the value of livestock in thai section. A Merino buck introduced to f flock of "native" ewes will raise the woo Eroductin the offspring from two and i alf to five pounds per annum per capita A short-horn bull will add two hundred pounds to the two-year-old bullocks.

Where it Pays to Apply Ashes.The ashes of very old wood do not contair so much potash as that of younger growth Ashes generally pay well on all ordinary crops, but are specially adapted to the wants of fruit trees, grape vines and al i kinds of vines, clover and peas. Perhap the very best use that can be made o them is to apply them to sweet and Irish Eotatoes; also specially good for peanuts lut they are also good for both cotton anc corn, especially in old and sandy soils, anc may be applied in the drill as any othe fertilizer, or dropped by the side of thf 1 nAffnn ah AAHn of finof r\lAiuir\rr \\7n nor 1 WtlUU VI will Ck\J IllOV pi V ITlUgi ?t v V?l ! suggest no reason for your apparent failur< i to derive any benefit from the application : to corn.

Th< j sash should be elevated on a frame foui I feet from the ground at the front and f foot higher behind. A rack with support for drying trays at four or five inches apari ? should be constructed under the sash, tc be reached from behind. The place of ap proach for sliding in or taking out fhe trays may be covered with fly screening, the other sides with boards.

In this paper Mr. Gold, . called attention to the important fact that the way in which pastures are fed, wheth pr nirmoiv or otherwise, has much to dc r with their permanence in value. It is e possible to feed a pasture so closely as tc s dwarf the grass roots and kill the large f growing species. Too light stocking fayors . the growth of coarse and useless vegetaj. tion, choking out richer and sweeter grass. es. Dairy cows, unless fed some grain, 0 impoverish pasture more thanyoung stock of fattening animals. The fields are apl r to be too flush in June and too bare in August, liather than these extremes, a feed some grains or sowed corn in the scant 0 season, and do not allow pastures tc g run to seed in June. Pasture is often benefitted by a change of the live stock kept B upon it. Sheep will eat and destroy the white daisy and wild carrot. The tread ol 3 sheep has a marvelous influence on the physical condition of certain light lands, j Horses may be profitably changed around t with cattle consuming much rank growth j that is refused by neat stock. Young catg tie may be advantageously pastured in Q connection with dairy cows, which have r a habit of spending their time about the entrance to the pasture. It is well to have j trees in the more elevated parts, thus encouraging the animals to leave ther drop~ pings where they are the most needed, g For a real permanent pasture we must _ cherish and retain the very best grasses that are fitted to the soil, the climate and , the treatment our pastures receive. Some* times plowing and reseeding is the only resort. But consider other remedies first, " Cut the bushes and trees and destroy such [ weeds as can be banished without plow1 ing. Drain and irrigate. Dress with bones or ashes, and do not expect very " sudden improvement. 1 98F When a horse has a nail in his foot, s either picked up or the broken part of s f shoe nail, the lameness is peculiar. The 0 animal holds ud the leg; when he moves 7 he puts the foot tenderly on the ground, - resting it on the toe, and steps slowly and - carefully. When this is perceived the fool 1 should be examined. At first the foot will not be hot, but in a few days inflammation - will occur, and, unless the foot is cleaned , and' the nail cut out ulceration may take , place and cause permanent injury. 3 s tor White clover is the best pasture gras.' 3 that can be grown for sheep. As white - clover is a short grass it is more desirable 1 than red clover for grazing, as sheep de test long grass, preferring to crop close tc the ground. On a mixture of grasses in 7 a pasture cattle and sheep may be grazed 3 together, as the grasses that may be objec tionable to the cattle will be appropriated i by the sheep. ^ l_ Any soil upon which water does not remain during winter, says a writer in t Vick's Magazine, can be made to grow small 3 fruit; in fact any soil which will produce 1 weeds will grow them ; but as there are r few soils which can produce two crops at the same time, it is better not to try to } grow a crop of strawerries on the same ; soil together. r a?" The fact is well known to all pains" taking cultivators that the mere stirring . of the surface (as with steel rake in garden, or slant tooth harrow in lately-plant ed corn or cotton field) soon as the soil is r dry enough to work after rain, will destroy nine-tenths of the weeds that have started but are not visible except to close scrutiny. r Too much concentrated food will cause , the cows to lay on too much fat. Feed f leas corn and more of other foods, such as oats, rye, bran and shorts or middlings, ' with plenty of hay, corn-fodder and straw; - esDeciallv straw.

Adams, of the Firm of McKay & Adams, Druggists. r I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time have had " occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect ' of nearly all the highly recommended prepa> rations or patent medicines on the market, and I as I have suffered untold misery myself, the . past number of years, from a severe" form of inflammatory rheumatism, and could find [ nothing to cure or relieve me, I had almost ' drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines " were more or less frauds until about one year * ago, I was induced by a friend now living in : Tyler to try a preparation known as II B, or r Botanic Blood Balm, and after along persua[ sion on his part I finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terri. ble affliction; and it now affords me the great* est pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of 1 Smith county that I am entirely cured, with no I traces of the "disease left, and all effected by the l magic healing properties of B. B. B., which I consider the grandest, purest and most powor[ ful blood remedy known to man. I have been subject to inflammatory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the"present time have had four. The last spell came on me in November, 1885, over a year ago, at which time I was confined to my" bed for eight weeks, passing the . nights in misery, with no sleep except when I produced hv narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. B. B. up to that * time I had only eaten six meals, and could scarcely sit up wunoui support; nui unci * using three bottles I was able to relish my 1 meals and to walk up town, and after six bot5 ties had been used, thank heaven, I was enf tirely cured, and not tho slightest pain felt . since that time. When I returned to business in February my weight was 14"> pounds, but [ gradually increased until my regular weight ' was again attained, 21(1 pounds. The noticeal ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, that this unparalelled and remarkable discovery, B. B. B., cured me in mid-winter, at the very time my sull'erings and misery were the greatest. 1 take it on myself as a practical druggist to heartily, cheerfully as well as consicntiously recommend this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not only myself, but the firm of ; McKay <fc Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully endorse its superior merits.
