FARM AND HODSEHOLD. VftKFUL. IXFOKMATION FOK THK FAKMKR AND HOFSKK FKFFIC. Southern Agrit-ulture. The American Agriculturist says no ' doubt a stranger from the North vis-; itinga Southern locality for the first time may see many things which he ; thinks deserving of criticism, but it is always safe before one criticises i anything new in a strange place, to * wait until he understands something ; of the necessities of the case. The I whole agricultural practice of the South necessarily’ differs greatly from that of the North. Climate has an important influence, which is not at once apparent to a stranger. And when one sees corn and cotton grown in crooked rows, unlike any rows he had seen “up to home,” he had better make sure that the crooked rows have not some kind of advantage in their crookedness ere he attributes it to want of skill on the part of the per son who laid them off. Because a thing happens to be new ar.d strange to him is no kind of reason for set tling to the conclusion that they are “slip shod,” or, in other words, are not the very best ways under existing circumstances—the exact ways that lie would be led to adopt were he to settle In the regions where they are in vogue. Of course there may be existing circumstances that a skilled farmer from the North might be able to change somewhat, and to great ad vantage; but it is not at all safe to conclude that everything one sees from a Northern standpoint is wrong. 1 here are some practices going on at the South that a reasonable farmer from the North can know to be wrong. They are wrong at the Ninth, where they are also being practiced to at least a considerable extent. For instance, Southern farmers could make better use of their land than to so thoroughly exhaust it by continued cropping in cotton and corn as to dis able it from producing even the com mon weeds. Rotation of crops is taught by nature. Anyone may see how nature practices this rotation, in the springing up of pines and other soft woods on lands from which hard woods have been removed, and the growth of hard woods upon cleared pine lands. When the soil has been exhausted of certain elements which have furnished food tor corn, cotton or tobacco, any one of these crops may’ follow another without any’ in dication of distress; but when the whole of them have been grown suc cessively, and the soil has been ex hausted of every constituent required by these crops, there is still food enough left for grass, if the process of exhaustion has not been carried too far. No doubt, as a rule, Southern farmers have gone to extremes in their disregard of these requirements of the crops and the ability of the soil to supply them; hence the great amount of poor, abandoned land that is left to grow up to weeds, and “old field” pines and oaks. It cannot be ahpfgcd against Southern farmers '"'that they are any worse in this re spect than their Northern and Wes tern brethren have been. Soil, no matter where, calls for in telligent management. The same may’ be said for the casting of crops. A certain crop all the time and exclu sively from year to year is never safe, to say nothing of the fact that it ad mits of no rotation—no rest to the land, so to speak. Cotton may he a good crop, but it cannot be depended upon as an over-safe one. A great European war appeared to be Immi nent but a short time ago, reasons our contemporary, and many think it postponed but fora short time. Should it occur, its first effect probably will be to affect the cotton market disad- vantageously. This will force South ern farmers to grow some other crops, and the first and best of these crops will be feed crops. Then will follow the feeding of stock, the production of beef, mutton, pork, wool, butter, cheese and fruit, and other valuable and indispensable products. These will not only bring in money to the South, but will keep money there, and the very greatest need of the South—money—will soon he supplied. With the increase of food products will soon follow manufactures, which will occupy the magnificent water powers, and utilize the vast wealth of timber and minerals. Then will fol low the construction of more rail roads, the need of more shipping, a great increase of population and pros perity’, and all these will make the South what its great natural wealth and unexcelled climate fitted it to be —the richest portion of the United States. Handling Manure. |From the Massachusetts Ploughman.' The much vexed question of how to handle manure so as to get the best returns from our material and labor will never be settled to the satisfact ion of everyone. Where manure is to be spread for top dressing on grass land, it may with advantage he hauled out and spread as fast as made in late fall and Minter. There will be no waste worth mentioning. The frost, snow and rain will break up the lumps and softp the soluble parts into the soil, and in spring it will only be neces sary to run a brush harrow over the sward to finish breaking up the lumps, or if any litter remain that will clog the mowing machine, this should be raked up and carted away. We would not, however, advise the spreading of manure in this way upon the lawn or fields very near the buildings. Artificial fertilizers or wood ashes will answer the purpose here, and produce a beautiful growth of grass.witliout the nuisance of un sightly and bad smelling dung near the house. When it comes to spreading ma nure for corn or potatoes or garden crops, there is room for difference of opinion as to the best time and way of applying it. The best evidence, however, would seem to be in favor of hauling out the manure at any time in the fall or winter when the opportunity favors; spreading it upon the land as fast as hauled, and plough ing it under in the spring. This method has the advantage of being more convenient and economical of there is no waste of manure by wash ing or leaching worth mentioning, i We would, however, hesitate to apply ! manure in this way upon a hillside ! where it would he likely to wash I much. The market gardener is obliged from the nature of his business to work differently. He is obliged to work into tiie soil such large quantities of manure for most crops—profitable only when grown quickly—that he usually plows under at every oppor tunity all the manure that he can conveniently handle at any time when time, and its advocates insist that the land is to be ploughed. At times especially in winter and midsummer, he is obliged to pile a good deal of horse manure in the field near where it is to be used. The large piles heat excessively unless great care is taken to prevent it, and a loss of a large lot of the volatile am monia of the manure is the inevita ble result. This is precisely the most valuable part of the manure, and tin- most important part to te saved. To save it involves a good deal of labor and care, and this must he given at a season when labor and care are most in demand for other things. It is our belief that waste in this direction is not necessary, and in order to avoid it we suggest the following method: Throw the manure into a hog pen sheltered by trees and Jet the hogs tramp it down. Don’t throw in too much at once—about six inches at a time is enough. The Wliys in Vegetable Cookery. Why should beans never be put into cold water to soak, as is often recom- mended? Because all the nutritious portion of the bean is extracted by the process. They should be washed in warm water, then in cold, be tied loosely in a cloth, he put iuto boiling water with a little salt in it. and he kept boiling for four hours. They aie then excellent to serve with irravy, and not with melted butter. They serve as garnish around roast mutton or beef, and are excellent eating served whole or as a puree. To make tiie latter, when the beans are done, throw them instantly into cold water, when the skin will slip off. Rub the beans through a colander, and mix a lump of butter witli them. A little stock, or milk, or cream, is excellent mixed in. Why should plenty of fast-boiling water be used in boiling vegetables, potatoes excepted? Because the greater the body of boiling water the greater the heat. If only a little wa ter he used the whole affair soon cools and the vegetables become tough, so much so that no length of time in boiling them will render them other wise Why should vinegar for pickling with never be boiled? Because boil ing tak?8 all tiie strength from it. Whatever vegetables are to be pickled should first be made soft with boiling water strong with salt, and then be well drained and vinegar poured over. Why should salt and a bit of soda always be put in the water to boil greens with? Because the salt crisps the greens and flavors them, aud the soda extracts the oil, which is greatly injurious to the digestion. I'oultiy Xoles. A True Tonic. Wiien you don’t feel well well and hardly know what ails you, give B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm a trial. It is a tine tonic. T. O. Callahan, Charlotte, N. C. writes: “B. B. B. is ofine tonic, ami has done me great good.” R. W. Thompson, Damascus, Ua.. writes: “I believe B. B. B. is the best blood purifier made. It lias greatly improved my general health.” An old gentleman writes: “B. B. B. gives me new life and new strength, j If there is anything that will make the old young, it is B. B. B.” P. A. .Shephere, Norfolk, Va.. August 10th, 1SSS, writes: “I depend on B. B. B. for the preservation of my health. I have had it in my family now nearly two years, and in all that time have not had to have a doctor.” Thos. Paulk, Alapaha, Ga., writes: “I suffered terribly from dyspepsia. Tiie use of B. B. B, has made me feel like a new man. I would not take a thousand dollars for the good it has done me.” W. M. Cheshire, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “I had a long spell of ty phoid fever, which at last seemed to settle in my right leg, which swelled up enormously. An ulcer also ap peared which discharged a cup full of matter a day. I then gave B. B. B. a trial and it cured me.” To Assist Nature In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is all that any medicine can do. In pul monary affections, such as Colds, Bron chitis, and Consumption, the mucous membrane first becomes inflamed, then accumulations form in the air-cells of the lungs, followed by tubercles, and, finally, destruction of the tissue. It is plain, therefore, that, until the hacking cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes can have no opportunity to heal. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Soothes and Heals the inflamed membrane, arrests the wasting process, and leaves no injurious results. This is why it is more highly esteineed than any other pulmonary specific. L. D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Yt., writes: “Four years ago I took a se vere cold, which was followed by a terrible cough. I was very sick, and coufined to my bed about four months. My physician finally said I was in con sumption, and that he could not help me. One of my neighbors advised me to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and before I had taken half a bottle was able to go out. By the time I had finished the bottle I was well, and have remained so ever since.” Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills, Me., writes: “ Six years ago, I was a trav eling salesman, and at that time was suffering with Lung Trouble. For months I was unable to rest nights. I could seldom lie down, had frequent choking spells, and was often com pelled to seek the open air Jor relief. I was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which helped me. Its con tinued use has entirely cured me, and, I believe, saved my life.” Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer A Co., Lowell, Mass. Bold by all Druggists. Price $1; six bottles, $5. A good cheap way to get new blood for.your flock next season is to buy a setting of pure eggs. Chicks hatched the first part of February make the largest, finest birds, and are the least trouble to care for. Geese are undoubtedly the most profitable fowls the farmer can raise. Give them a trial and see. A small yard enclosed by a tight, high fence, is the best place for the old heu and chicks. It should be sodded. Unless you have unlimited range, it will not pay to invest in turkeys— unless you can “range” on some one else. Ashes.—Ashes are too much was ted by many farmers, who do not seem to appreciate their importance as manure. They are among the best fertilizers that can he applied cither directly to the land, or mixed with compost. They are beneficial to all crops, and this has been found to ap ply even to coal ashes, which in themselves have but little nmnurial value; but the reason that even these are so useful, is that they absorb aud I retain the moisture. Independent of the potash that wood ashes contain, | and which makes it such valuable manure, an application of it makes ; the ground porous, and keeps it cool j and moist. Farmers cannot be too ; careful to save it, and spread it over j their lauds. Upon sandy lands we j consider it equally as valuable, pound for pound, as guano. J. C.
