OUR WANT.
[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

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

Drying Fruit Under Hot Bed Sash
J Popular Gardening suggests that owner;
of not bed sash utilize these for making ?
i sun drier for drying surplus fruit. 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. The sash will
a both increase the heat and keep off the

I PERMANENT PASTURES,
t Numbered with the many excellent par
pers read at the New York institute's
. meetings this winter was one by Mr. Gold
_ of Connecticut, on "Treatment of Permae
rfent Pastures." 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;

1 CHEERY WORDS.
i
' Jh'or the Citizens or 'JL'yier ami sinitn county
r as Uttered by John M. 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.
