i Fall Plowing.
For the hundredth time, perhaps, we
refer to this subject, and emphasize the
advice to break up all tbe stiff land in
tended for next year's planting during
late fall or early winter. The advantages
It causes tbe vege-
are many and great,
table. matter that may be on the land, or
that may be pat there for manorial pur
poses, to rot and be ready to do good next
season; it exposes many insect eggs and
larvae to destruction ; it gives the frost
an opportunity of breaking up and re
fining clod, sod and inert matter ; and it
puts the soil in a mellow and improved
condition mechanically, by which the
labor of the next season's cultivation is
greatly lessened.
All these things help materially to
make the land more productive, and hence
decreases the cost of crops. The fall is
generally a season fine for work, there is
more leisure and heuce a better oppor
tunity to do work, and it distributes the
Year b tun luurw evcuiy uciwccu
months by taking a good deal of labor off
.JOB I
tbe spring season
Of course such land will have to be re-
fallowed in the spring, except for certain
crops, but it will not require near the time
and labor to do it, aud the refallowing
only tends to put the land in better order
to start with, and so is another advantage.
We say, then, proceed at once to plow
all tbe stiff and medium soil for next
year's crops now, and even light land is
benefitted if it has much vegetation on it.
Do not omit the fall plowing. Petersburg
Messenger.
Swamp-Muck Its Value on the Farm.
Much has beeu written, both for aud
against the value of swamp-muck as a fer
tilizer. But in spite of all objections to
it, the fact remains, that swamp-muck, of
an average good quality, consisting main
ly of decayed vegetable matter, contain
one and a half our cent of nitrogen. It
true that this nitrogen is inert, and it is
necessary to take action to make it avail
able. To do this is the business of the
farmer, who rarely finds tbe materials
with which be works already prepared to
his hand. One and a halt per cent is
equal to 30 lbs. per ton. Thirty pounds
ol the cheapest nitrogen the farmer can
procure is worth $3. If swamp-muck, by
the expenditure of a little labor at this
season, can be made worth $3 a ton, or
one cubic yard, what is it worth per acre
if three feet deep? We forbear to Hay
any more than this, lest our readers
might thiuk us extravagant. We would
impress upon the minds oi farmers who
own swamps, which are left to remain un
sightly and unhealthiul eye-sores upon
their farms, the hard fact that they are
not only wasting a valuable opportunity
of improving their lands, by neglecting
to drain these marshy places, but are
leaving unused the valuable material,
which might fertilize the upland, to make
it doubly productive. The writer speaks
from his own knowledge and experience
in this respect, having for some years dug
and used, annually, several hundred tons
of swamp-muck, in the form of compost
with lime and barn-yard manure. He has
used it, when dry, as litter, as an absorb
ent in tbe manure cellar, cattle yards and
pig-pens, and has found it to be worth all
that the chemists have claimed for it.
Wintering Over Fall Pigs.
The best method of carrying over fall
pigs is a timely question with farmers
iuht now, and should be closely looked
into. It is not good policy to have fall
pigs, but farmers cannot always avoid
them, nearly soring pigs that can be fat
tened for market by Christmas are the
most profitable ; but the farmer will oc
casionally find a lot of small pigs on bis
hands, and he must make preparations to
winter them over. This should be done
in the most economical way. Good shel
ter should be the first thing provided and
something else besides corn fed. To
make the cheapest pork that, when fat
tened lor market, costs tne least per
pound, tbe pigs must be crowded from
the start. Keeping them growing with
the cheapest food is the secret of success.
As during the winter a large per cent of
-a j .
tne loou consumed is taken up in main
taining animal heat, good shelter is one
ot the most saving elements in wintering
over fall pigs. Where pigs have the run
oi a good pasturage during tbe summer
or green rye or clover, it requires but lit
tle grain to keep them in growing condi
tion during warm weather. But during
winter this cannot be had and as a conse
quence an extra amount of other food
must be provided. As said before, shel
ter is one of the essentials in economically
wintering over pig. It should be warm
and dry, yet constructed so as to admit
of good ventilation. As to feed, I have
found corn meal, wheat, bran, roots or
chopped oata far cheaper feed for car
rying over pigs than corn fed alone in the
grain.

Bob Ingersoll's Audiences.

una wen acquainted in tnis city is
struck, in looking over an Ingersoll con
- . . I r ti .
gregauou, at toe presence oi ail ine peo
ple who are known to be crooked in their
various walks, but who keep up, a genteel
appearance, and who have enough intent
gence to be forced to think what comes
after this life. The gambler who steals
cards is there. So is the liquor-dealer
who drugs his whisky. The well-dressed
disreputable woman is present,with a face
tun ot eager interest. And so are many
women of reputable eocial standing, who
nave tneir own heart's secrets, which
make them quite anxious to see a life of
torture hereafter for sins in this world
proved to be a myth. The old citizen.
wnose eariy crookedness has been iorerot
ten since he became wealthy, the lawyer
who sells out his client, and the doctor
who prolongs the ulneBs ot his patient are
an tnere. ine more solid parts of his ar
guiueui. eem io make out little lmpres-
s-r . - .
sion, ana ine reasonio against the possi
bility of the existence of a first cause does
not appear to be understood or aDnrecIa-
ted: But when he cracks a stale joke at
the expense of hell the faces of his audi
tors become animated with delight, and
ucj lulu uearbieil, applause. It IS
clear that they are not atheists from a
process of logical reasoning,but are rather
sinners wno nave become hardened
vice, bat yet have troublesome c
sciences, which they are anxious to quiet.
uTciy utuw leveiuu at neu is a rtliel to
mem, and tends to confirm them in their
crooked ways. In short, thev are afraid
of hell, with all their talk to the contrary,
and are grateful to whoever relieves them
ot this tear. Denver Tribune.'

Green Food for Poultry.
The time is approaching when every
breeder should see that his fowls are pro
vided with green food for winter use. On
a moment's reflection one can see it is
neceasarv to insure health and prolificacy.
Fowls, as well as other animals, require a
certain amount ol course ana reiuse. mv
tei ;to keep them free from onuP"'
indigestion and other kindred complaints.
Tbe prudent and careful poulterer will
take "time bv the toreiocK" ana oeiore
winter sets in will store away caDoages,
. - ..
turnips, rowen. onions ana potatoes iur
fowls. Cabbages in orainary years,
undoubtedly the very best ana cheapest
rreen food that can be bad. It is not
necessary or economical to purchase prime
m .1 it. hiAh I
heads for this use, as the soft heads which
are not marketable are just as good ana
they cost one-half less.
Tbe same with turnips ana potatoes.
They can be had cheap by purchasing
from farmers tbe small or reiuse part oi
the crop. These articles can be stored in
a dry cellar, and will be found very use-
ful daring the lour or nve momns oi win
o . - . i
ter, when the fowls require good artificial
.3 ; ;.. ..,. in malra thorn law fl n r-
feeding in variety to make them lay dur
ing all the frigid term or to incite them
to commence tneir worn eariy iu ipnng.
The lawn mowings and clover heads can
be stored away in coffee sacks in a dry,
cool place until needed for use, and by
steaming or cooking the vegetables with
meal or potatoes there is no waste ana
during cold weather this is a grand need
that must not be lost sight of if the
breeder would like to do his stock justice
and see them thrive and lay well in early
snriner. when their eggs are most valua
ble for securing early broods.
t2P The Southern Live Stoek Journal
savs: The Jersey nea is a nog mat is
becoming very prominent in favor in
many localities, there are few in tbe
South. The breed ought to be better
represented in tbe cotton States. It is
claimed that Reds are easily fattened at
any ge; that at from seven to eight
months old they can easily be made to
average from 250 to 330 pounds; that
more lean meat is the rule with these
hocrs than any other breed, and that
butchers prefer tbe meat to that of any
other bog. paying in a number ot cases
50 cents more 100 pounds, special atten
tion ha bten called to the superior quali
ty of the sausage meat. Tbe grades are
said to give general satisfaction wherever
known and reared. Tbe Keds are saidto
be as prolific in breeding as any other
hag; and those who specially ohampon
their cause are very emphatic in the lrias-
eertions that this breed will make more
and better pork, to a given amount of
feed, than any other. there are two
kinds of Reds one extra large and
coarse, the other smaller. iSotb are spo
ken of in tbe highest term.
Weak Legs in Swine. The Indiana
Farmer says : "Most farmeis have no
ticed that in fattening swine, especially
when they are crowded rapidly, they
always appear weak in their hind legs,
and sometimes lose tne use ot them en
tirely. An intelligent farmer says that
he and his neighbors have made a prac
tice ot feeding bone meal in such cases,
and find that a small quantity mixed with
the daily feed will prevent any weakness,
and strengthen the animals so as to ad
mit of the most rapid forcing. As bone
meal is known to be a preventive of crip
ple ail, and weakness in cows, it looks rea
sonable that it should also be a benefit to
hoga which are often confined to a diet
containing but little or no bone-making
material."
