SOn H KRN FARM AM) HOME. <?otton Onltnre by Xorthorn >Ielli<Mis While on ? recent trip up the country to attend a meeting of the Stock Breeders' Association of Mississippi, I learned from a prominent Mississippiun that some men from Kansas had made a decided sensation in the locality where they had settled by their mode of raising corn and cotton. I therefore visited Major Young, near Columbus, Miss, to get some points. The plantations of these Kansasians joins that of this gentleman. The former are under his control i -> . ? ?w:?j, ana turn i>i mi iimivum-. >? mi ^iv?v liberality, Major Young ha? leased them 25 acres for a year, free of rent. He then rented them a number of acres each, at the usual rent of such land? $4 per acre, per annum. There are three men. father, sou and son-in-law. The father and son-in-law have their wives with them. This year the son-in-law, Mr. Evans, not wishing to over-crop himself, planted 25 acres in corn, 1G acres in cotton, and 54 acres of oat?. The usual plant of a colored man is 10 acres in cotton and 5 corn, and they do not half till that. He planted his corn in the latter part of March. He liegan to plant cotton April 14th. He was very late, shirting disadvantageous^' in not having quite the implements he wanted, and in having a I.. 1 ..... ?i_r? verv uiic auu wt'i >prui^. nc tuiuunvu his corn and cotton with walking cultivators, and left the ground nearly level. There was a very severe drouth, and lie made a bad mistake once in cultivating his corn too deep?cutting ofl* the roots next the side where he last worked it. I heard several planters say that, at one time, his corn was the most Iteautiful looking crop they had ever seen; hut the six weeks' drouth, and particularly the fast working, injured it fearfully. By starting so late with his cotton, he was injured greatly by the boll-worm, and by the very wet August. He and his father told me that each expected to make about a thousand dollars clean money. They figured about this way: Twelve bales of cotton at $40 per bale, $480: 1.200 bushels of corn, at 30c per bushel, $000, and 230 bushels of oats at iiOo. $123. m:ikinnr a total of $1,203. Nothing is alloweJ for poultry, butter, hogs. etc. The actual result will be about as follows: Nine bales of cotton, at $40 per bale, $360; 500 bushels of com, at 50c per bushel. $250, and 150 bushels of oats at 50c, $75, making the total $735. He had paid $15 for all work up to October 5th; but as he has workea some outside, he will probably come out about even. He says he sees his mistake, and by another year, under the same conditions, could excel this year's crops. But as he may not in a life time have such a long dry snell, and need not start so late, he will nave far better chances. He is greatly pleased and proposes to have for next year s crop 60 acres?88 acres in cotton and 22 in corn. K? savs that he can attend it. He intends to plant in checks, and expects to raise a bale to an 1 acre. I hope lie may, but it looks too < sanguine. However, one gentleman near Aberdeen, Miss., has raised from 2 to 21 bales per acre by planting in checks, dig- ; ging holes and fertilizing well, and piling the clay about the ba<e of the stalk so as to keep down the grass. If Mr. Evans should raise a bale to the acre he will get a good deal of money. His father-in-law, Mr. Kilmer, had 16 acres of cotton, 221 of corn and 3 of oats. He and his young son tilled these. The . father is considerably past hard work. They paid $8 for work. They will make about the same crop as the first mentioned gentleman. 1 nearly forgot to say that when their cotton was just ( fairly, up. they dragged it across the rows, much to the astonishment of one , planter, who said they would ruin it. , But this harrowing, almost every one ( says, was beneficial, as it made the i earth very mellow for the tender roots . of the young cotton. These men plow with a big plow?I forget their favorite ?and use riding plows and walking cultivators. These are hcing introduced into the neighborhood where they live, and many people are watching them and ( propose to imitate them. Indeed, I verily ( believe that 1 seethe unmistakable signs of a revolution in that cotton culture. Many people have been to see their work. They all admire it; say it was never equaled, and that they intend to imitate it. Several, years ago, the late Dr. M. L. Dunlapofthe Chicago Weekly Tribune, when on a vi<it here, told me that he thought level culture of cotton, with the cultivators in vogue 111 the prairies west, would he better than the Southern style. The work of these Kansas men is a verification of his judgment. Finding that they were so well pleased in every way, I wanted to learn what they thought of the country and what aspects most struck them. The old gentleman was a rapid and good talker, and I had to take my notes very roughly, but here are the most salient contrasts: ur? K1.AU !,? unrl tw.51 l,nf?AI- ?l,nn i ilt" IIIW'S Hiv \ inu?4vv cum civil ?a uvi uitiu any country lie has ever seen ; thinks it a fine country for grass-growing and raising stock; thinks it a better com country than any other, and the corn Is better in quality; thinks it better for oats than any state except New York. I told him that there had been over 100 bushels raised to the acre in Mississippi, which rather sniggered nun. Jtie tninKs it delightful for breezes, and not as hot as in more northern states; likes the nights in summer; climate all right; no insect pests except the boll-worm; no housc-fhes here compared to the north ; hardly any mosquitoes here; no fleas; no flies to trouble stock ; no nets needed for horses; never has seen a fly yet on a cow when milking her; thinks he can make moreofl' 10 acres here than 80 elsewhere ; had had one chill; all the rest of the r :i? i l? Xiuiuiy n?i>u utxa |auvvwi nvtinnj . (He had many chills in the northwest.) These, In a rough way, give his im pressions, and are of interest to me par ticularlv, as corroborative of what I have said about the country as to health, fertility of soil, exemption from insects, etc., in mv letters and talks. These men are delighted with their experience; with the climate, soil and people. Seeing they were so p'easantly impressed with everything, I told them they had better go over to Starkville; so they, with the Messrs. Young, went over, and saw grass to their heart's content at the Jersey stock farm of Col. W. 13. Montgomery; and now they add to their other favora- ! ble impressions, that grass and thorough- f 1 r.'d stock ean lx> raised. i I am looking to sec a good many poor i but industrious men come down ana ioi- . low the example of these Kansas emigrants. 1 have not before advocated cotton-raising, but when it is such a success as above, let us have clown here the bone and sinew of the north and east, who can j make from $000 to $1,000 clear money 1 for a season's work.?[Country Gentle- i man M. 13.

I A large number of the native " white," j or rather light green grapes were ex- < hi hi ted at the time of the meeting of ; the American Pomological Society at i Rochester, and were examined side by j side, by a number of the prominent fruit i growers. Among these sort were the : Duchess, Prentiss, Lady, Allen's Hybrid, ] Niagara, Rebecca and some others* Sev- i eral expressed surprise at the similarity j of flavor possessed by all, or rather at j the equal degree of merit in each, on ] tasting side by side. The Duchess ranked ' among the l>est in quality, the Prentiss i attracted much attention on account of j its sweet and delicate flavor, and the N'i- < agara for a combination of desirable qualities, including its large bunch and snowy appearance, and its tine flavor, in which, however, it was hardly eoual to some of the others. The Pocklington was very attrictivc for its large, sliowy bunches, and it was of fair quality. None of these, however, are quite equal 1 to the Croton in quality, although all ex- ' eeed it for strong growth and freedom 1 from mildew. | The Penr Blight. An orchard at Union Springs contained about tiUO bearing trees, and a few hundred smaller ones; it was from ten to iifteen years old and had borne some profitable crops, when three years ago it was J visited with the Might. The dead limbs resulting from this disease were sawn oft' ^ and drawn out. A two horse wagon with a common hay rack was used, and it was ' well filled ten times in drawing out the blighted branches, feoinc of the trees, probably a twelfth, perished entirely. A much larger number were more or less mutilated. About one-third of the entire growth of branches was destroyed. Before this period, not a vestige of the blight had appeared, and some kind friends remarked,"your locality is certainly proof against blight, and you need not fear it/' The uniform answer was, "It will l?e sure to come some time." The year following its first deadly appearance, the disease had much diminished; last year but little appeared; this year none at all. The trees are rapidly recovering their lost branches, anu this year they have been loaded with excellent fruit. It may be many years before it makes another sweep through orchards. Many remedies have been tried, and with superficial observer?those which happened to beappled just lieforethe disease passed off, have the credit of being a certain . cure. { "One thing I have found out about ] pear trees," said an enthusistic horticulturist to us recently, "is that they are uiways thirsty, it would surprise you j to see liow much watering a pear tree . will stand." Well, most trees, plants, . and everything that grows in the soil, needs water. 4>Yes, but I know that a , pear tree when it is bearing fruit demands a great deal of water; I have ! grown pears for many years, but never ^ became so fully satisfied of their actual . need for water as this season. I have . watered some of the trees in my garden , with liquid manure, every day this , summer and fall, and you ought to see how the fruit increased in size and quality. Oh, yes, that liquid manure" or water from the house sewer and the chamber slopes, tells the story! Pear trees will never get tired of this, we are < 5Urc Room for Grapevines. J We have often urged the importance of , ?11,...-I,,., 4\.r ( n..tiv-n vines. We observe an additional proof of its advantage in an address cf President Uurnet of the Ontario Fruit-Growers' Association, Canada. He states that W. ila-kins, of Hamilton, attached a wire from the mile sustaining his vine to the chimney of his cottage, and trained to the wire. Enormous crops of Rogers' 15 were the consequence. The sparse bearer of the shortened method thus was made to yield most profusely when allowed healthy development. Gypsum on Strawberries. In reply to the inquiry of F. S. C., regarding gypsum or land plaster as a fertilizer for strawberries, my exj)crience has l>een that it is a detriment. I have known of tine beds of garden strawberries being blasted by the use of plaster in the garden. It is used about here on fields where parties wish to run out the fields or wild strawberries with success. M. H. R. Litchfield County, Conn. <] POTI.TRY. I i To Keep I'ohIn Laying. 8 In order to keep your fowls laying in 5 winter it is necessary to give them plenty { of food, fresh water and good warm qunr- 8 ters in which to roost, and they will pay ^ for this trouble. If not attended to j right, you will get but few eggs in cold 1 weather. r t _ _ _ t Clonn lirPHiius. Some years since during llic extreme t furore of poultry keeping a breeder was <j thought to be hardly worth notice who c kept but one breed. The prevailing sen- * tinient among fanciers then was that e each one must keep at least half a dozen breeds and the ability of standing us a ' breeder depended upon the number of T varieties he kept and advertised. Be- J ginners were slow to appreciate the eau- j tions given by more experienced men, c and would not lie satisfied with less than c three, five, eight or a dozen breeds. 8 These ambitious fellows always came to * grief; they undertook more than they could accomplish, but they would not 8 learn tiie lesson in no other school but e that of experience. r For the beginner one breed is enough, i I>et him take the one he thinks will best suit his purpos*, give it good treatment, t and if he is dissatisfied with the results ] lie can take another, but oiitv one orceu i nt a time. This advice costs nothing I mid if heeded may save much heedless trouble and loss.?[Southern Poultry Journal. How the English Feed. fLocdon CorrMpondanc* San Francisco Herald.] They eat more meals per diem in England than in America. There is breakfast, lunch at 1, dinner at 5 or 6 p. en., and supper at half-past 9 or 10. In ?ome families there is a light tea between J and 4 in the afternoon. The first time I 6aw a late supper, consisting of a "joint," vegetables and beer, 1 was unjasy, thinking it all extra trouble cn my ( count. Fortunately I delayed all remarks to that effect, and in due time discovered it to be the custom. Between L0 and 12 at night in London you may jec hundreds of children, plate in one hand and pitcher in the other, scudding ibout the streets. They are after the family's lato supper of hot fried fish, fried potatoes ana beer. The fish and potatoes arc bought frying hot at public kitchens. Two pence will buy of these a hearty meal lor one, a penny, or raree ha'pence more for beer fills the bill. The " ham and beef'' shops sell as low as five cents worth of cooked meats, roast or boiled, and from a cent's worth of vegetables upward. Very good meat thev have, too,, and veiy nicely they cook it. These public kitchens in London, and there are thousands of them, supply the poor with a dozen staple articles of cooked food much cheaper than they can buy or cook it at home. Give ik London beggar a penny, and he can buy a bowl of good soup and a good-sized piece of bread?enough, on a pinch, to [ast him a day. Give a New York beggar two cents, and what can he buy? Yet our is a land of plenty. Every American at first deems the late English supper the sure road to dyspepsia. Yet there is far less dyspepsia in England than in America, and the late supper is j universal. I adopted late suppers and I j rained flesh, and have imported the' practice and kept it up ever since. Ii think there is as much harm going to j bed starved as going with a full stomach, j An animal will, after eating heartily, lie j down and sleep, and I can't see why we 3hould not have the same digestive rights as the animal. My theory regarding the origin of Aj? rican dyspepsia is that it comes either from not eating enough, or going hungry too many hours, and then piling great quantities of food on an empty and exhausted itomach. An American family, after the lightest of 6 o'clock "teas," will remain up sometimes until 10 or 11 vrithout eating. Then, on retiring, some itarved member, whose empty stomach has been gnawing itself for an hour or tvro, will surreptitiously invade the pant?? and rnnnintr from one extreme to mother, as people always do when any appetite is unduly repressed, gorge on pie, cake, cold meat and vegetables. He ir she sees all the imps, big and little, of the infernal regions during the night. The Condemned NihCllsts* The Pall Mall Gazette says that a letter ias been printed, signed "Arthur CsEsar, Surgeon," which throws a little more ifiht upon the middle paajage of the Nihilists through the Red Sea. It is low asserted by the Russian authorities, md confirmed by the Daily Newt, that lut one of these wretched people died let ween Odessa and Saghalien, though four were unfortunately smitten vrith iphthalmia. It is true that it is rather lot in the Red Sea during the month of July, but then Russians are accustomed to heat; true also that there can havo been but little air with the hatches battened down over 600 or 700 people, but then Russians do not want much air. Mr. Caesar says that he saw the vessel at Port Said. The thermometer was then )n2 hundred and two degrees in the ihude. The Nihilists were never allowed upon deck for any purpose, and special irrangemcnts were made to obviate the necessity of giving them a breath of fresh air on deck. He saw then pushng one another's pale faces away from the narrow port-holes to which they ircwdcd. In short, every precaution vas taken to secure as large a mortality is possible on the voyage; and in the npinion of this observer, as of every )thcr independent man who has heard of :he conditions under which these untiied political offenders were shipped, "a tast number of the prisoners would die ore ! they reached their destination."
