There are good reasons for asserting sufficient attention is not pa.d in this “ otion oftbe south to the breeding ot tie A writer in the American Dalry- C> n says that some tanner* think they ®* ourchase such cows as are necessary L keen up their herds and they buy rather Ssn breed their own cows and raise the calves themselves. Of course, it requires a considerable ume before a belfer calf will be old enough to breed aud in reality she must bring her second calf before she will yield any thlna like her maximum of milk. During l first six months of growth It costs but i.ttie if anything, to feed. If the calf coma's in the fall it can be wintered al moßt if not quite, on skim milk, t hen, Z allowing the run of a pasture during the summer the cost until it is one year old will be very little. It can be kept in avery good condition during the winter bv feeding half olover and half either wheat or oat straw or good corn fodder, run through a cutter, and a slight amount of oatmeal or oatmeal and bran mixed with it. This reduces the cost of feeding very materially and at the same time keeps the call in a good growing condi tion. If kept growing from the start, so as to properly develop, she can be bred during the winter so as to oome in the of course we do not expect an extra large yield of milk the first winter, but by good feeding, sufficient 10 keep her in a good, thrifty condition, she will give fully enough milk aud cream to pay the cost of her feed, and alter the second winter's feeding we can reasonably ex pect to derive a profit. If care is taken to select stock of good milking qualities on both sides there is little or no risk but that by breeding you will secure animals fully equal to what you already have, if not somewhat bet ter. Of course you may secure a bull, m which case you can sell, but I consider it a poor pian to sell off all the oalves as soon as possible, and then when any of the cows become unprofita ble and you want to increase your herd you are obliged to buy. Under anything like ordinary circum stances you can raise a calf to be a good milch cow at a less cost than you can go into the market and purchase her equal in ail respeots. Of course ido not claim that this is so in all respects, but in a large proportion it is, and generally you will be able to secure a better grade of cows—animals that* you will know all about. Taking the average farm cow, there is certainly room for a very considerable I improvement, and one of the surest plans lis by careful selection and breeding. And I this cannot well be done, so as to secure I the best results, without raising your own Icows. Eeal good milk cows generally hell at good prices, and while a poor one Imay not be profitable to raise, it is very ■rare when a real good cow will not sell at Is price above the cost of raising her to Imake the work profitable. How to Preserve Citron. A correspondent of the Florida Agri (ulturist has not had much success in preserving citron peel and he wants to know something about it. The editor of that journal says that there are several varieties of citron, but the citron of cotn nerce is made from only one; the large variety, having a rough, knotty rind, is ot good for citrou peel, as it cannot be iroperlv cooked and prepared. The smooth kin, medium size citron is the variety to ise. For preserving, pick the fruit when I'Jite green, just as it conies to maturity; ntit lengthwise into lour pieces aud take 'ttt the pulp; boil the skin until you can Mily run a straw through it, putting in ome green grass or leaves along with it ° ma^9 keep its color.

Rice, of Jackson county, 0., in a letter to Orchard and Garden, exhibits a rather pardonable curiosity concerning the fertilizing value of tobacco stems, when applied to fruit trees, grapevines and general garden crops. Undoubtedly many of our readers would also like to learn bow much they can atiord to pay for 100 pounds of this uot unimportant fer tilizing material, so we gladly do the ne cessary “figuring.” An average sample of tobaooo stems, according to American analysis, contains 1.8 per cent, nitrogen, 6.20 “ potash, .50 “ phosphorio acid, besides lime, magnesia, sulphuric acid and other ingredients. The schedule of trade values adopted by the experiment stations of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey puts the value of nitro gen at oents, potash (as high grade sulphate) at cents, and phosphoric acid at 8 cents per pound; hence the money value of 100 pounds of tobacco stems for manurial purposes may be com puted as follows: Nitrogen 1.8 lbs. at 38 3-10 c. Potash .5.20 lbs. at 6) 2 (\— 2s B-lOc. Phos. acid 50 lbs. at $ c.—4c. ot ‘ ll 65 7-lOe. ihe small quantities of lime, magnesia, sulphuric acid, eto., are not yet consid ered in this amount; hence the true chem ical value of tobacco stems will be close to, if not fully 70 cents per 100 pounds. Compared with the price of other com mercial fertilizers, of course they have a still higher value (their agricultural value), and the fruit grower and gardener can well afford to pay 80 cents and per haps upward for each 100 pounds. It should bo added, however, that to bacco stems must be perfectly dry to have this value; and that their effects will gen erally be slower and more lasting than those ot chemical manures. In order to hasten the effect ot tobacco stems, we would compost them with sta ble manure, frequently forking the whole mass over and keeping it in heat by the liberal application of liquid manure, until thoroughly decomposed. Economy in Seed Potatoes. It requires lour to six bushels of pota toes to properly plant an acre, and this amount should be got out from the bin and kept by itself in some place where the tubers will not be too warm and where they can be spread thinly and exposed to air and light. The object is to h?.ve their eyes push slowly butstrongly, which they will do in the light. Seed potatoes kept in bins in warm cellars will sprout so as to exhaust nearly all the vitality the germ has. This is the chief cause of the weak, spindling stalk which so trouble large potato growers. Having so many acres to plant it is difficult to keep seed pota toes in large quantities in good condition. Too often no care is given them, and those are taken in spring which have long, white sprouts sapping the nutriment which should go to the young plant. In such cases failure in potato growing is almost certain. A few seed potatoes well cared for will give greater profit than a large acreage planted with the defective seed that is usually common at planting time. If seed potatoes have been kept from sprouting by exposure to the light, and being kept at a temperature only a little above freez ing, they may be cut smaller, and thus the seed be made to go further. But let no one assume from this that planting whole potatoes which have been badly sprouted will prove successful. They will only produce a multitude of weakly, spindling shoots, instead of the two or three strong shoots which indicate a large crop of potatoes of merchantable size. FIRM AX!) SJOCK NOTES. Sheep are very fond of the sweet sap of ths maple, and will drink of it so that it will weaken and injure them. If ewes with lamb are allowed access to sugar orchards while the sap is being gathered it will often cause them to abort. The danger is not very common now, but this fact, which early settlers In maple dis tricts learned by costly experience, mav be ot value to some of their successors. ’ There is usually great waste in feeding solt corn, by whioh is included the nub bins having more or less sound grain on them, ir tnrown to hogs, as is usually done, the nutriment in the cob is lost and there is a good deal of It where the corn is not fully matured, if put up in nar row bins, made with slats so that air can circulate through them, they will soon dry out. Cows will eat them, cobs and all. The groat profits from sheep cannot be made by farmers who do everything in ite grand wholesale way. No animal re quires better care and closer attention than the sheep. Even with these it is difficult to keep large numbers together and have them do well. The small iarmer. can keep a few, give them the best care, and by growing and selling early lambs make more money per head than the large sheep grower can with his extensive flocks. It is said that beer drinking has largely superseded the use of cider as a beverage, not ploue in cities and villages, hut even among farmers. II we do not nave cicer it will be difficult to get the pure cider vinegar, which has long been recognized as the best. The refuse from beer kegs with sulphuric acid, sugar and other chemicals is what is relied upon to tur nish the greater part of the vinegar gold nowadays. Asa result many old apple orchards aro being cut down or grubbed out.

Dandelions are grown without beat In January and February, but mats and shuttles are used the same as for lettuce. In Maroh they will grow with grass alone and areoommnnly grown in what is called a “double string.” A bed Is sown the preceding spring 12 feot wide and as long as wanted, in the fall planks are set on each side of tho bed the entire leugtb. In February a middle plank la plaoed flat upon bleoka lengthwise through the bed and high enough to give a pilch to the glass, which is spread over the dande lions and whiob slopes both waya from the middle plank to the outside ones.

The ends of the bed are boarded up and all boles and otacks stuffed with straw. No further care is needed. The dandelions will be ready for market be fore the outdoor ones are started. Among the especially Interesting and substantially valuable exhibits In the line of farm products of the late Texas State fair, was a half bushel ol' corn developed and raised by.Mr. Jeff tVelboiuof Wei born Bios., New Boston, Bowie county, Texas. The cob is 2H inches in diame ter, its length 10 inches. There were 40 j rows of grains on the ear (aud what is I most remaikable) the grain is seven | eighths of an inch long. This corn shells one quart to the cob. The Welborn Bros, gathered this (very dry) year 800 bushels from 10 acres, un average ol 80 bushels to the acre, and this with only eignt iur rows to the row. This corn, which he has named “Jeff' Welborn’s Conscience,” he states matures two weeks earlier than tho common white corn; it is also extra firm, but no! flinty. Messrs. Welborns’ oru attracted muon attention, aud so umerous were the applicants for a tew grains that the exhibitor wbb forced to withdraw it from exhibit. It was award ed both first and second premiums, the first being a splendid wagon (offered by the Keating Machine and implement Company), the second S2O worth of nur sery stock. One reason why the price of pork varies so rapidly in response to a full corn crop is because no kind of farm stock can be multiplied so often as the hog. A good breeding sow of mature age can be bred three times withiu a year, and at the end ol the first twelve months the sow pigs ol the first litter may be and usually are set to breeding. Allowing eight pigs to a litter, which is a fair number lor a good sow, tne original one will have increased to twenty-five at the eud of the first year. Young sows will not give so many pigs, but by the time the first litter drop their young the second litter of sows will be ready to breed, and there may be another litter of pigs from the original parent of the entire stock. If the sow ever grows too old to breed nobody has learned how old that is, though they commonly become ugly or mischievous after they are three or four years of age. It is evident that with plenty of feed and winters mild enough not to interfere with breeding, there is scarcely any limit to the inctease which may soon he made from hogs, pro vided the price of pork shows any profit in the business. In their annual report just issued the Massachusetts Cattle Commissioners make the following report of a case of excessive feeding of corn ensilage, which came under their charge: “It may not be beyond the limits Of onr duty, and may result in some good, if we here make mention of a disease which made its ao pearance in Methetvn, causing the death of several animals and leading the com munity to fear ilje, presence b£ contagion. A post-mortqm disclosed the fact of in tense inflammation ot the stomach aud bowels, and indicated the presence of mineral poisdn. A portion of a stomach and its contents was sent tp Prof. Goess mann, at the Massachusetts Experiment Station, with the inlormation that the feed of the animal had been meal and 90 pounds of ensilage a day, and with the request that he would test ter mineral irritants. Indue time Prot,Goessmann reported: ‘We ha/ve carefully tested your samples of contents ‘-erf stomach aud ol corn ensilage. The contents of the stom ach are free from any metallic poison, and the corn ensilage contains no extra ordinary amount of acid. Corn ensilage ought not to ne led in such large quanti ties; 85 to 40 pounds per day, with hay and grain or shorts, give the best results, so far as the flow ol milk and the general good condition of the cows are con cerned.’ ” The report indicated clearly that the mucus inflammation was caused by the acid in the large quantity of the ensilage led, and lessening the amount the trouble disappeared. POPULAR SCIENCE. Nothing is better for a sore throat than a cardie ot salt and water. It may be used as often as desired, and 1( a little is swallowed each time it is used it will cleanse the throat and allay the irrita tion. Salt, In doses of one to lour teaspoon fuls in ball a pint to a pint of tepid water, • s an emetic always on baud. This is also an antidote to be used after poisoning from nitrate of silver while waiting for the doctor to come. Silver should be washed with a chamois skin, saturated with silver soap, each time after use, thus avoiding a general cleaning. Windows should never be washeu while the sun shines upon them, as it is impossible to polish them without leaving blue streaks. To clean kid gloves rub them with very slightiy dampened crumbs of bread. Or scrape French chalk upon them while on the hands and wash them in a basin con taining diluted spirits 6t ammonia. Some gloves can be cleaned with millt, with rice pulp or with turoeutins. If you are troubled with moths in your feather-beds botl the feathers in water for a short time; then put them in sacks and dry them, working" tuem with the hands all the time. Silk dresses should never be brushed with a whisk breom,hut should be carefully rubbed with a velvet mitten kept for that purpose ouly. Disease often lurks in a dirty dishcloth, a greasy sink, an unclean teakettle aud a poorly ventilated oven. Flannel should be washed in hot soapsuds and rinsed in hot water containing soap cnougn to soft en it a little. A carpet-sweeper is inval uable in a dining-room where small child ren eat, but should never be used for general sweeping. If the feet are tender or painful after long walking or standing, great relief can he bad by bathing them in salt and water. A handful of salt to a gallon of water is the right proportion. Have the water as hot as can comfortably be borne. Im merse the feet and throw the water over the legs as far as the knees with the hands. \V hen tne water becomes too 000 l rub briskly with a lresh towel. This meth od, if used night and morning, will cure neuralgia ot the leet. To prevent the juice of pies soaking into the under crust, beat the white of an egg and brush the crust with it. If tbe oven is too hot when baking, place a small dish of cold water in it. Well-ventilated bed-rooms will aches and rice, spriukled upon lint and applied to fresh wounds, will stop bleeding. A tallow candle or piece of tallow wrapped In tis sue paper and laid among furs or other garments will prevent the ravages of moths. Soda will clean tarnished tin. Vinegar and salt will clean copper. Butter is me best polish to put into starch. Baking soda put on a burn will tako out the heat. A heated knife will cut hot broad without making it soggy. Oil ol cedar is sure death to vermin whioh infest chambers. Toilet sets and ail chamber articles should be cleaned in cold water. White lead will cement broken crockery, a 10 cent bottle lasting lor years. A small palm brush should bo used in cracks and crevices while dusting a room. To wash silk handkerchiefs soak them first In cold salt water lor ten minutes, or longer, then wash out In the same water and iron immediately. Carpets may be greatly brightened by first sweep ing thoroughly and then going over them with, u clean olotb and clear salt and water. Use a cupful of ooarse salt to a large basin of water, bait In the white wash will make It stick better. Wash the mica of the stove doors with salt and vinegar.

A WORD OE WARNING. Tho Fearful Dangers of the Present Season and How to Avoid Them in Time. Mr. Wilton R. ralmer, of New York city, received the best wishes of the season from all the friends he met on his birthdu;, and be lieved that his future life was to lie long and Joyous. That evening he felt a tickling iu the throat, a slight pain aoross the chest, and he coughed onoe or twice. Tho next day his nostrils were inflamed, his throat sore and his lungs all filled up. The day following he was in bed, with physicians shaking their heads, and the third day ho was dead from pneumo nia, which he failed to take in time. There are ten thousand men and women in America to-day in just the same condition as Mr. Palmer was. Their throats are sore, their lungs are irritated, and they are on the verge of pneumonia and death, but thoy do not know it. This terrible disease, pneumonia, has be come the Moneler of American life. It is sudden, severe and fatal, it comes without warning aud strikes down without mercy. Physicians say it must be thrown from tho system on the start, aud that there is nothing equal to pure spirits for this purpose. Pure liquors are absolutely necessary when pneu monia is coming on, and from the careful in vestigations of the best chemists and physi cians we aro convinced that no liquor now known to the world is equal to Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey for pneumonia or any other pulmonic trouble. This whißkey is put up solely for medical purposes, and sold only in sealed bottles. It is a stimulant to the organs that have been congested by cold. It arouses the tissues to fresh action. Ii ward* of dis ease, and containing no fusel oil, it dues not injure nor intoxioate. Mr. K. W. Roswell, of Washington, I).
