AGRICULTURAL.
Manuring in the Fall..
Could farmers so plan their work that
they could manure a considerable portion
of their next year's planting ground the
previous Fall, and cultivate it in, they
would find it a great help about getting
on with their Spring work, especially such
a Spring as the past has been. It often
happens that the successor failure of a
Summer's operations depends upon a very
few days at a certain time in the Spring.
There is, every Spring, a last week. when
it will pay to put in each of the farm and
garden crops. Some years corn may be
planted at intervals for a month or longer
and have ample time to mature the crop,
bat there are other years when the plant
ing season is reduced by rains or frost to
a very few days. There is not only a
limit to the season for planting, but a
limit also to what one can do in a given
time. Now if one can get his planting
ground ready, or nearly ready the pre
vious autumn, it will be at once seen that
the acreage of planting ground may be
greatly increased. We remember when
it was common practice to do all the pre-
?aratory work of planting in the Spring,
'he ground was plowed, the manure
hauled on over the soft furrows, and all
the work of harrowing and pulverization
done just before the seed was dropped.
If the season was short the work was
necessarily hurried and very imperfectly
done. Carting loads over soft plowed
grounds in spring when the soil is damp,
is always objectionable. It makes the
ground hard and lumpy and difficult to
cultivate, and hard for the roots of the
crops to penetrate. If this work be done
the previous autumn, the frosts of winter
will tend to lighten the soil carted over,
and leave it in better condition for plant
ing, in any case the time will all be
saved for other work in spring. It has
been our aim for several years past to get
in condition for manuring planting ground
the previous fall, and it is not such a diffi
cult matter perhaps as one might suppose
who had not given the subject much
thought. Some may object that the
manure wastes if hauled out and har
rowed six months in advance of putting
in the crop. AY e have no fears whatever
of waste in this direction. The soil has
at all times a great "affinity" for manure,
and will hold to it with a" good deal of
tenacity until the growing plants are
ready to take it up. There certainly can
be but little waste in winter when the
ground is much of the time frozen solid,
Coarse manures spread and cultivated in
from two to four inches deep, it would
seem, could not be in a better place dur
ing the winter. The soluble portions will
to some extent be washed out and diffused
evenly through the soil, or just where the
roots will most easily find them. Ma
nure spread in spring may lie in lumps
lor a long while without doing the crop
very mucn good.
manuring in toe lall gives more time
for thorough cultivation and preparation
before planting m spring. We have
worked our fields over about once a week,
from the time the frost was out till the
day the seed went into the ground. This
kills a great many weeds, and conseauent-
ly will save a great amount of work dur
ing the ordinary weeding season. It not
only kills sorrel and other weeds that live
through the winter, but working the
ground just before rather late planting,
kills millions of annuals that are just
starting. If the manure is hauled the
previous fall, the spring work may go on
o leisurely that the planting may all be
delayed till the air and the ground are
both well warmed. Cultivation helps to
warm the soil by letting the warm air
into it. We never saw a field that ap
peared to be cultivated too much. Draw
the manure in the fall, work it in with
disc harrow, and even though the field
were in grass, it may, by frequent work
ing in the spring, be made as mellow and
free from weeds and sods as an old
garden.
borne will say that they can never get
enough ahead to manure a year in ad
vance. ine manure is made in winter,
mm -
and it would be wasteful to keep it an
other whole year before using it. To
these we should say, try to save manure
in summer by stalling the cattle nights,
and some of the time days when they are
fed in the barn, it is getting quite com
mon to feed some green food during the
drought spell in summer and fall, and it is
a very wasteful practice to feed green
food in the pastures, or to feed it in the
stables and then turn the cattle out ini
mediately to lie in the pastures and waste
the manure, which is needed for pro
ducing another supply of green food
Many farmers buy a little fertilizer every
year to make the stable manure hold out
.Now if they would, after learning its
value and getting confidence in it, buy
enough to wholly manure one crop, they
could then keep their stable manure on
hand for use at such time as would seem
most desirable. It would seem as if al
most any method would be an improve
ment over the too common custom of
hauling out green manure over soft
ploughed ground, to be hurriedly pre
pared and planted the same spring. It
gives us mud and mortar, followed by a
hard, trodden soil, almost as impervious
to the roots of plants as the bed of a com
mon public highway, and sometimes
scarcely more productive. N. E Farmer.
Hog Cholera. The Lewiston (111.)
Gazette contains the following : "Every
paper in the United States ought occa
sionally to keep the fact before its readers
that burned corn is a certain and speedy
cure for hog cholera. The best way is to
make a pile of corn on the cobs, effectual
ly scorch it and then give the affected
hogs free access to it. This remedy was
discovered by . . Lock at the time his
distillery was burned in this county, to
gether with a large amount of stored
corn, which was so much injured as to be
unfit for use and greedily eaten by the
hogs, several of which were dying daily.
After the second day not a single hog
was lost and the disease entirely disap
peared. The remedy has been tried in a
number ot cases and has never failed."
52? A well-known maker ot chedder
cheese, Mr. Harding, of Marksbury, Somer
set, jcngiana, gives tne louowmg recipe
for making a perfect rennet: Mix a brine
of strong salt and water sufficient to float
an egg well ; boil half an hour and let it
stand till cold. To two gallons add six
"veils" (dried stomachs of young calves,)
one lemon sliced and one once of saltpetre.
it will be ht to use in a month, and wil
ketp any length of time.
A preparation made with one
pound . of soap (soft or hard) with an
ounce of carbolic acid crystals dissolved
in water will destroy vermin, itch, scurf,
and mange. Ine preparation as given
above should be diluted in warm water
before being applied to the animal, and
it will not then injure the hair. .
The Acreage of Cotton.
Seventeen crops of cotton have been
gathered since the occurrence of the recent
unpleasantness." The hrst was a email
one, of not less than 2,000,000 bales, grown
on an area not much exceeding 5,000,000
acres. This was less than half the acreage
in 1860. It was thought by many intelli
gent planters that the old crops could
never be seen again, lhey said so ; ana
wrote learnedly and talked fluently to
prove it; and made out a reasonable argu
ment showing that 3,000,000 bales of cot
ton could never be grown again. : Intelli
gent observers who were not biased by
the extraordinary events ot ine war, ana
their far-reaching consequences, saw that
only a beginning had as yet been made in
American cotton growing.
So it has proved. More than three
times the breadth of 1865 has been seen in
cotton within seventeen years. The aver
age increase per annum has been fully two-
thirds of a million acres. .
The census for 1880 took for the first
time the area of any crop, though I had
estimated the average annually up to
1879, when
I made
14,500,000 acres.
The census
showed
to be 14,462,431
acres.
Though receiving a slight check this
year, the acreage will continue to increase,
if not so rapidly as in recent years. The
cotton famine of 1862-'65 was a great
stimulus to extension of acre.
The area in cotton is only one-third of
the entire area in cultivated crops of the
South. Corn, rather than cotton is king
in this respect ; if both are kings, the
former has a larger territory over which to
reign. Cotton will still increase, but other
crops in larger ratio. J. R. Dodge, in
JVb. Farmer.
Stirring the Soil After Showers.
Farmers do not always form a proper
estimate of the advantages of stirring the
soil after showers before it hardens. The
whole field, garden or truck patch should
be worked over after every rain as soon
as it is in proper order. Quick move
ment is worth a great deal at such a time.
It is a great saving of time, labor, pa
tience, wear and tear. The weeds are
killed or kept down before they make
muoh growth, or before they grow, and
vegetation is soothed and nourished by
the moving of the moist, crumbling soil;
and if roots and spongioles are broken
they heal rapidly, and their growth and
extension are greatly facilitated. The
wear and tear of plough points, harness
and cultivators in hard, dry soils, es
pecially if they be clay, are not duly con
sidered, and the expense of keeping tools
in order when compelled to be used in
such soils is an item of considerable mag
nitude. Plants that are worked in moist
seasons, if the roots are broken, do not
faint or wither and require reaction, but
proceed in luxuriance and growth. After
Bhowers there is generally a pleasant cool
ness, and the men and teams do more and
better work, and with increased ease and
comfort, perform the day's labor. While
there is season plough and stir, the stirring
and pulverization are more complete and
the crops receive the full advantage of
tillage. All this and a great deal more
being true, the motive for prompt exer
tion must be apparent and strong, and
no good farmer would neglect the use of
opportunities that add so much to the
growth of his crops and to the -reduction
of expenses and labor.
Agricultural Economies.
The profit of the future i9 to come in
avoidance of wastes of the farm. As the
country grows older, land dearer and im
migration heavier, competition waxes
fiercer in all agricultural production. A
ruinous share of the hay is lost first in
cutting when ripened to woodinees or
dried to hardened stems; then in giving
it out to sustain life and animal heat
rother than for fat and flesh. Corn is also
thrown away by insufficient or ir.judicious
feeding. There is enormous loss in keep
ing a poor cow that yields three hundred
gallons of milk per annum instead of one
that produces six hundred at about the
same cost. One may bring the owner in
debt, while the other affords a handsome
profit on expense of keep. A cow that
gives milk only from April to November,
and runs dry when forage is costly and
milk is dear, should have a lew months'
extra feeding, and go to the butcher as
soon as possible. That a cow is dry for
more than r-ix weeks is the fault of the
owner in not procuring "the survival of
the fittest," and again, perhaps in not
supplying ample and succulent food at all
seasons, while the milk habit of the young
cow is forming. The loss in milk and
meat by irregular feeding and a change
from fresh pastures to a straw stack and
coarse hay during an inclement season, is
an irreparable waste which is projected
into the succeeding summer without re
gard to the abundance of its pasture.
The losses from negligence, or want of
skill in the preparation for market, the
manipulation or manufacture from raw
material, is enormous. Milk of the same
quality, of the same cost, makes butter at
fifteen cents and at half a dollar per
pound. Mixed fruits sell in market at
half the value of assorted samples neatly
put up. The pig products ol a famous
Massachusetts farm are disposed of in
New York city at twenty-three cents per
pound, while similar goods from the aver
age farm command but thirteen cents.
Skill, taste, neatness and a well-earned
reputation for reliable excellence get the
highest rewards give better dividends
than the capital and labor represented in
the product on which they are expended.
There is solid money in these intangible
valuables. But the wastes that may be
avoided are numerous in every depart
ment of agricultural practice, and cannot
be hinted at in a paragraph. They are
illustrated in the differing costs and selling
prices of the products of adjoining farms
in every neighborhood of the land. N.

3"? One of the recent bulletins of the
Census Bureau gives interesting: statis
tics regarding the farms of the country.
They numbered, in the year 1880, about
four millions, and about three millions of
them were occupied by those who owned
them, while of the remainder only about a
third were rented for money only, the
other two-thirds being occupied and
worked for shares in the products. The
difference between this state ot things
and that which exists in some European
countries is at once manifest. Again,
more than a million ot these tarms con
tained less than fifty acres each ; more
than two million, less than a hundred :
while only about a hundred thousand con
tained upward of five hundred acres each,
in spite of the low price at which grazing
lauds may be acquired in the far West,
and the necessity, in some cases, of having
very large farms for grazing purposes.

E2f A successful Boston florist says
that he seldom fails to root slips of the
most tender and rare plants. He credits
his success to a layer of oats placed under
the UBual layer of sand in which the slips
are planted. When moistened they act
as a stimulant and feeder to the tender
roots of the slip.

Atlanta, Ga , Aug. 25, 1877.
After an experience of twenty-five years in sel
ling this ointment, and during that time having
closely watched its effects, and having the testi
mony of my friends and neighbors to confirm my
confidence in its merits, I became fully satisfied
of its value, and I have bought the exclusive
right to make and sell it, and offer it to you as the
best lemedy in the world, especially for all forms
of Piles.
READ THE TESTIMONIALS :
This is to certify that I have tried Pryor's Pile
Ointment in a case of piles, and state that it gave
more relief than anything I have ever tried. I fur
ther state that as a remedy for burns it is unparal
leled. I also used it for a case of tetter in my
feet, of twenty years' standing, and say that it
is the first thing that I have ever tried that gave
me more than momentary relief. I consider now
that I am entirely relieved from that distressing
disease. JOHN D. NEWSOM,
Troup County, Ga.
Having been afflicted for ten years, at intervals,
with that distressing malady, the piles, and after
many ineffectual trials of the remedies in common
use, I commenced a short time ago to use your
Pile Ointment. I experienced immediate relief.
From the relief experienced in my case, as well
as from the reputation so rapidly acquired by
your Ointment in this vicinity, I have no hesita
tion in expressing the opinion, that it is the most
efficient remedy for piles ever invented.
U. A. VULAj, LiaUrange, Ga.
This i3 to certify that I used Pryor's Ointment
in a case of severe burn, and that in a very few
days it was entirely relieved of all inflamation,
and healed rapidly. After the first application
of the Ointment, the patient suffered no pain
whatever. R. J. MORGAN,
LaGrange, Ga.
By the advice of Mr. Wynn, I used your Pile
Ointment on a servant girl who had been suffer
ing for eight years with a most aggravated case
of piles. She improved from the very first day's
use of your Ointment, ana before using the box
she was entirely recovered.
U. W. jruTJK, uusseta, Ala,
This is t certify that I have used Pryor's Pile
Ointment, and say that it is, in my opinion, the
best remedy for piles ever presented to the public.
I say this from a positive application of the
remedy on my own person.
