AGRICULTURAL.
Management ot Incoming Cows.
The profit from a cow depends very
much upon the management for somu
time previous to the calviDg. The beat
cows are always threatened by that usual
ly fatal disease, milk fever, unless care is
exercised to avoid the danger. The aver
age cow which escapes this disorder needs
equal care to secure the greatest product
. ot milk for the longest time ; and in a
business dairy where the calf is to be
reared, its value will depend upon the
manner in which the cow is managed.
Docility is a considerable element in the
value ol a cow, aud this is to be looked
to as much as a large milk yield. 8o that
there are three important points to be con
sidered the safety of the cow which, from
her large development of udder and her
rich milk yield, runs the most risk from
the reaotion consequent upon the disturb
ance of her system due to the calving; the
judicious feediog of the cov whose sys
tem is to be stimulated rather than de
pressed; and in all cases the training of
the calt for its future usefulness. Heavy
milkers should be kept on spare diet for
at least a month previous to the calving.
No grain should be given. Good hay is
sufficient at this season. Some cows hold
on to their milking so persistently that it
is difficult to drop them off; but it should
be done at least three weeks before the
time expiree. It is a great mistake to en
courage the flow of milk up to too late a
period, for the purpose of boasting of the
character of the cow. The frequency of
milk fever with such cows is Nature's
protest against this misuse of the animal
and the breach of natural laws. The flow
of milk should be reduced first by feeding
only dry hay, and second by partial milk
ing only, always leaving some milk in the
udder and gradually lessening the quan
tity taken. If the oow has ever been at
tacked by milk fever, occasional doses, of
a pound of Epsom Baits will tend to avert
inflammatory action which results in this
disease. To stimulate the average cow,
which is rarely in danger of this kind, the
food should be judiciously regulated in re
gard to oondilion. If she is thin, bran
mashes, or some cut roots with bran, may
be given with safety, but in no case should
corn meal, and still less cotton seed or
linseed oil-meal, be fed. Good hay with
three or four pounds of bran steeped in
warm water will be sufficient as a daily
ration. This food for a month previous to
the oalving will nourish the cow and very
much help the call. American Agricul
turist. Lime for Providing Egg Shells.
It has not been demonstrated that oys
ter shells, or lime in any form, produces
egg shells, (or rather, shells for the eggs),
as there are thousands of hens that are in
no manner provided with oyster shells,
It is true, however,
being sharp, assist in
Carbonate of lime is
that oyster shells,
grinding the food,
insoluble, and the
lime for the egg shells must consequently
come from that which can be digested and
oonducted to the eggs through the blood.
As nearly all kinds of food contain lime
in a soluble form, by combination with
vegetable acids, as well as in the form of
inorganic salts that are soluble, the process
of covering the eggs with shells goes on
without the aid of substances that are in
soluble. There is one source ol Boluble
lime, however, that is frequently over
looked the water which holds lime in a
soluble form when it abounds in carbonio
acid. Hard, limestone water contains
lime, and the hens can, by drinking it,
secure more lime in a convenient form
than lrom oyster shells. When a hen lays
eggs with soft shells, the cause is due not
to the laok of lime, but to the condition
of the hen, as she is then, as a rule, in an
overfat condition. To this cause may be
traced all the eggs with soft shells.
Farm and Home.
Value oi" the Cotton Crop.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, as a re
lief from the force and pressure of the
reoent Republican deieals, announces that
cotton has lost its scepter, and it proceeds
to give the figures on which its assertion
is based. These figures are interesting
apart from the use to .which the Globe
Democrat puts them. It says:
The value of -the cotton crop of the
present year, estimated on the most trust
worthy figures of yield multiplied by the
average market prices, is about $350,000,
000 or $360,000,000. This is far above the
valuation assigned to the yield ot 188S or
any previous year. It is still, however,
muoh below that oi some other agricul
tural produots. The com crop of last
year was worth about $677,000,000, ac
cording to the figures of the experts, and
that ot 1689 is placed at $525,000,000 or
$535,000,000. The wheat yield ot this
year will probably bring $400,000,000, or
perhaps $10,000,000 or $15,000,000 in
excess of this amount. Iiay has averaged
about $375,000,000 in value in recent
years, up to 1889, but the figures for this
year are not yet to hand. It is reasonably
certain, though, that hay, as well as wheat
and corn, stands ahead of cotton in con
sumptive value.
There are two or three elements entering
Into these figures that the Globe-Democrat
does not take into consideration, in
the first place, when it says that the cotton
crop1 of lact year was worth $360,000,000,
it means that the crop sold for that much
cash. But when it says that the corn
crop of the same year was worth $677,
000,000, it means that the crop was
large enough to bring that much
money if it could have been sold. The
grain produot of the country does not
find a profitable market as surely as cot
ton. In the second place, it is absolutely
essential to a proper appreciation of the
value of the cotton crop that the value of
the seed and its by-products be taken into
aocount. One ton ot cotton seed will pro
duce thirty-five gallons of crude oil, worth
$14. The seed of the crop of 1837-88 were
worth $40,000,000 those of the crop of
last year have a value not far from 50,
000,000. But this is not all. When the oil is
crushed from the seed, the refuse is more
valuable as stock feed and as a fertilizer
than the seed were in their original shape.
The oil cake has a distinct commercial
value not only in this country, but in
Europe, as a food for cattle, and cotton
seed meal, ground from the oil cake, has
properties ot fertilisation that are possessed
by no other agent.
.And even this is not all. . The hulls,
ground into meal, make an excellent food
for milch cows and beef cattle. The hulls
can also be used as fuel for the engine
that runs the oil mill, and -the ashes
of the bulls have the highest commercial
value as potash? The "refuse" of the
mill produces the best and purest soap
stock, and it is used for that purpose by
)he largest and most successful manufac
turers. To all this must be added the value of
the refined oil, and when this is done the
Globe-Democrat will admit that the cotton
crop is the most important money crop
produced in tbitt grand and glorious coun
try. A tlanta Constitution.
Handling Manure in Autumn.
The btst practice among those not pro
vided with abundant barn room, is to
select a level piece of ground, and stack
the threshed straw there year after year.
The straw can be converted into well
rotted manure by using it liberally for
bedding in the stables and by turning the
cattle to i he stack ; and all things con
sidered, this is the most profitable disposi
tion of the straw where that not eaten by
the cattle in the stack yard is converted
into manure, and well cared for. The
straw thrown under loot by the cattle will
likely be trampled down so solidly that if
left to itself it will not be converted into
manure in the desired time; and part of
the stack may have to be cut down and
strewn over the yard, making necessary
some effort to hasten the Yotting of the
straw. As there is no need of handling
wet manure, it is advisable To have the
mass stirred every day for some days
before it is taken to the field, that it may
dry out.
All the manure should be removed from
the yard before the grain is threshed, that
the new straw may not be stacked upon
it; and the usual method of putting it
upon the winter wheat ground is a good
one. If strewn over the ground as it is
plowed, the harrowing necessary to put
the seed bed in proper condition will
thoroughly fine it and incorporate it with
the soil, while it will not be below the
roots of the wheat. It is best to strew it
over the ground as it is hauled out. This
saves one handling. Hauling manure in
it so fouls a wagon box that it is best to
have another box for this and similar
uses. This is best made of loose planks
pine, two inches thick and from nine to
twelve inches wide. They are made much
more convenient to handle by shaving
down the ends to three inches wide. If
end boards are desired, grooves can be
cut in the Bide ot the handles on the ends
of the planks, and will be strong enough
to hold the boards. If desired to make
the box higher than the standards, aud
the latter are not provided with rings to
receive pieces, staple rings into thepiankB
forming the sides of the box. Passing
pieces of wood through these rings will
hold the upper boards in place. The low
est eide' planks must lie on the bolster,
the planks forming the bottom of the box
fitting closely inside of them. American
Agriculturist.
Effect of Rain on Fertility.
The question is often asked, does
the rain which falls on the land leach
the organic constituents ot the soil?
this it may be replied that if they
not
out
To
are
contained in exoess, drenching rains un
doubtedly do so to some extent; but these
constituents are seldom found iu such
excess as to be carried out by rains. In a
soil well drained and friable, water has
less effect in carrying away such consti
tuents than in soils where it is longer
held. And in such land the water given
up to the soil ammonia, potash, phosphoric
and silicic acid, which it holds in solution.
In relation to this question LAebig says :
"Rain water filtered through field or
garden soil does not dissolve out a trace
of potash, silicic acid, ammonia, cr phos
phoric acid. The soil does not give up
to the water one particle of the lood of
plants which it contains. The most
continuous rain can not remove
from the field, except mechanically, any
of the essential constituents oi its fer
tility." $2,000 WORTH OF CLOTHING

In my sales over the corresponding 12 months
of last year is what I have the satisf aption of
publishing to the world, as a result of my efforts
in the strictly "Wholesale" business, and yet it
Ought not to be a surprise, as there is no House,
be It North or South, East or West, that can
claim advantages which I do not nossess.
Nor do I intend to rest on my laurels, but feel
that my desire for still greater achievements has
been "whetted," and to which end I am now
bending every nerve, and with my adopted
motto of
P. P. Pm.
Push, Patience and Perseverance,
In the near future I expect to see my business
reach such large proportions as to "Astonish the
Natives."
For the past three months I have been almost
constantly among the Southern. Western and
Eastern Manufacturing Centres, placing orders
for
' Boots. Shoes, Hats
AND ALL-WOOL FILLED JEANS AND
CA8SIMERE3,
Amounting to princely sums and colossal pro
portions. That it takes nerve and money to do these
things so far ahead of the Season, goes without
saying, and I claim to possess both of these
qualities.
Seven (7) experienced Salesmen will, at an
early day, in my Interest, canvass the Trade in
both the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee, with
Shoes, Hats and the Southern production of
Wool Goods, mostly of my own designs and
selections, and it will be to the interest of buyers
to await their coming.

Compound Oxygen.
The success attending the administration of
Compound Oxygen by Drs. Starkey & Palen,
1529 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa., is timply
marvelous. They are now sending the benefi
cent agent in their home treatment all over the
world.
The remedy throughout tbe. entire South has
won exceptional 1 vor, and its sphere is widen
ing every day. V iiile it is now the recognized
treatment for all lung and throat troubles, it . is
becoming recognized more and more as the best,
pleasantest, most economical treatment for Ca
tarrh in all its forms yet known.
Dyspepsia in all its forms yield to its gentle,
bouyant, pervasive power. There is nothing
comparable with its cases of brain exhaustion,
and nervous prostration.
Life-giving, its own legitimate work is re
vitilization. Enfeebled meo cannot do better
than avail themselves of it. The process of re
storation goes on without danger in bsrmony
with pathological laws. Try its restoring, rein
vigorating, rejuvinating power, and be happy
again.
If you remain incredulous, it shall not he for
the want of witnesses first class witnesses in
telligent, observant, benevolent who give public
testimony without reward not in the interest of
Drs. Starkey & Palen ; they are perfectly able
to take care of themselves, but for the sake o
the sick and suffering. See the remarkable con
sensus of testimony :
