TOE MISTAKES OF FAKUERS.
An exchanges furnishes us vrith
the following list of mistakes gen-
erally made by nrghgent farmers:
1. To think that anyono can
farm; that a man who has starved
as a canrassov lor a patent tooth-
pick or has Vn unsuccessful as a
carpontcr can jump into a business
requiring high intelligence and per-
sovcrinf efforts and being familiar
with details bo able to make raon-
2. The idea that a largo farm
halt stocked and poorly cultivated
pays hotter than a few acres well
stocked and carefully tilled.
3. What is it but tho worst kind
of a mistako to pay hundreds ol
dollars for good farm machinory
and allow it for want of good shcl-
tor to rot rust and become useless
in a year or soonor than it should ?
4. It is a big mistako to let year
aftor year pass by with no attempt
to improvo tho quality of the farm
stock. Blooded caltlo pay they
mako beef quicker and tho cows
givo moro milk. Bettor lilood in
horses pavs. A Norman or part
Norman colt is a valuablo pieco of
properly.
5. To lotfoolishpridoornarrow-
mincea jcaiousj' prevent we addi-
tion of new methods when they
havo boon proven by practical
men.
G. To get up after the sun has
rison lean on tho hoo handio and
speculate for an hour or two on
whnftho weather is point! to bo:
o let tho weeds get a good start
and then wonder why farming
doesn t pay.
7. To leavo a lot of unchopped
Vet or half split wood at tho pile:
p lot of old harness hanging in the
kitchen and muddy tracks in the
dining-room and then expect to
see tbo women lolfcs gooa-naiurca.
8. To havo a lot of half-fed
omaciaicd lonesomo looking fowls
roosting deiectccly in somo oiu
-cottonwood tree when a few good
Jiealthy Plymouth Rock or Brahma
.chickens proporly housea would
mako tbo poultry yard anlionor

SKILLFUL CULTIVATION".

JIOW DRAINING LAND PAYS.
. A. correspondent of tbeSouthcrn
Planter gives his oxperienco in
draining r'and as follows:- "After
an experience of thirty-fivo years
I will sav that in 1849 wo had in
one of our fields a narrow strip ofj
land some six rods wido and about
'120 rods long. it was so very wet
as to produco nothing but swamp
grass. It being very inconvenient
to plow around it wo dug a ditch
through it and blinded it with
stones loosely thrown in. We then
cultivated it with the rest ofj tho
fiold in corn' oats -wheat 'and fhay
alternately for fifteen years? tho
and producing enormous crops of
each during mo ume wncn irom
somo causo or other tho drain bo-
oamo choked and nothing but
swamp grass could bo raised upon
it. After allowing it to remain
Idle four years wo asam drained
it with six-inch pipes and it has
produced oxwllent crops ever
since this season yielding hay at
tho rato of threo tons to tno aero.
In all this timo it has not had any
roanuro put upon it yet tho crop
shows no diminution in yield.
"Aagain wo havo another field
of eighteen acres of rolling heavy
clay soil very wet in spring and
very dry and hard in summer.
Being mostly upland it has been
cultivation many years although
never producing a paying crop

about cicht liif uels to the acre ; of
oats twenty bushel'; of corn fif

881-2 wo drained tho field with
Dines running them lour rods
apart and fiom two and ono half
to three feet in depth. Tho follow-
ing spring wo planted it in corn
but tbo ground was so veiy hard
that tho crop was a complete fail-
ure. In tho spring of 1883 we
sowed the field in oat and gather-
ed a crop of fitly bushels per acre.
Wo then plowed in tho oats Rtul
bio and sowed in wheat and al-
though much pinched by a drought
lasting from tho hrst ot ilay until
harvest wo got a crop of somo fif-
tocn bushels per acre and the pres-
ent season have taken off a fine

FAT OR LEAN TOEK.
"Feeding for Lean Meat" is tho
Utlo of Bulletin No. 10 of tho Mis
souri Agricultural College scries.
Previous pullctinshavc shown thsl
quito marked effects had been pro-
duced on tho relativo proportions
of fat and lean in pork by different
methods of feeding; that albumin-
ous food gives us lean meat whilo
carbonaceous foods like corn-meal
increases tho proportion of fat. The
lattor experiments registered in
bulletin 10 accord fully with tho
results ot previous trials and indi
cato that so far as tho pig is con-
cerned wo havo it largely in our
power to elect whether our pork
shall be mostly grease or sweet.
nourishing lean meat. The late
trial was with four pigs ono lot be-
ing fed on ship-slufl and blood the
other on corn-meal. Both lots
weighed about aiike but the pigs
fed on ship-stuff and blood highly
albuminous food had forty per
cent moro lean exclusive ot bone
than tho lot fed on corn-meal. Much
caro was taken to scparato tho lean
from tho tat two wholo days being
occupied in cutting up a single pig.
Prof. Sanborn reminds farmers
that tho "block" is no test of breed
influence in the character of uncul
meat unless measured by tho char-
acter of the food given and that
managers of fat stock shows should
rccognizo this fact when arranging
their picraiums and requirements.
Feeders will learn from theso ex-
periments that if they would in-
crcaso tho palatability of pork for
tho American taste they most feed
their pigs on something besides
clear meal or corn. Milk apples
and roots from tho farm and wheat
middlings from the markets mixed
with meal will produco a better
grado ol pork' while at tne same
timo tho cost will be diminished.
OUIIIE.W.
Texas Farmer.
Many larmers would havo better
and earlier vegetables and conse-
quently "better health and more
otit" but they can't have .seasons
to suit for bringing up tho seeds-
All seeds rcquiro raoistaro lor ger
mination ; tho ground soon oc-
comos dry down for half an inch
or an inch and small seeds will
not como up if planted so deep. Jf
wowait lor rain wo may get too
much of it; and must wait for the
ground to dry. Then it is too
late for early vegetables and many
vegetables aro best only when
early.
The proper time to plant is when
Ihu weather is warm enough to
sprout tho seeds and tho ground
not too wet. Work up smooth and
light and rako and level tho rows.
If tbcro is moisture enough on the
newly mado surfaco so much the
belter; if not givo it a thorough
wetting and soon as tho surface
will work up fino drill in the
seeds and on tho row lay boards
old planks or clapboards arc as
good as anything walk on them
to press ihcm firmly down and
pacK tho soil about tho seeds.
Small seeds should barely bo cov-
ered with soil. As soon as the
seeds cerminato tho planks should
bo raised by placing something
under tho odgo and aflor two or
throo days romovod altogether 11
tho wcatnor is ury nnu uoi iay
tbo planks close up to tho plants
on ono or both sides. This will re
tard bvanoration and enable plants
to livo and grow that would other-
wise parish. In this way early
plants may boscpurcd in the dryest
ccason.
Anofbcr causo of delay is wait
ing for rain for transplanting. Let
us do away witli that also. Liior-
ougbly saturate the seed bed with
water and when it is well soaked
in draw tho plants. Jtepiant mem

fore ; press tho Boil firmly about
tho roots leaving tho plant stand-
ing in depression. If tho soil is

SORGHUM FOI! FOUAOE.
To the Texas "Farmer.
Meebelltown March 20th '80.
Ono of our best farmers has said
that Sorghum is tho coming loragc
crop of Texas. Is lttruo? I say it
is. Why? First; becauso it is a
suro crop wet ar dry. Second be-
cause it produces twieo or three
times as much feed per acre as any
other crop. Third itwill grow on
any land rich or poor rough or in
good condition sown early or late.
It docs not injure tho land (if
sown broadcast) but puis it in fine
order for next year's crop and is
vpry capjly harvested. And last
but not least all kinds of stock are
fond of it and it keep thcin in
good health. .
I know thero has been a preju-
dice against sorghum ever sinco it
was first introduced ; but it is not
well founded. I have planted it
for molasses and grown it for feed
ever slncoit was introduced over
thirty years ago ; and I shall con-
tinue to do so as long ns J (arm.

TltPsas iollows to tho How 'ork
Tribune lindpr fi recent date: "I
noto in your paper an apepunt of
two bales of cotion picked boforo
thp war end recently sold by tho
administrator of nn pstato at Jtoek
Bill S. C. I think I can givo you
a history ot two bales equally re-
markable. In 1SC1 a transporta-
tion company received hero two
bales of cotton for which thcrp was
no claimant and which no ono has
ever appeared to claim. In 1801
when tho market advanced to a
fabulous price 1 offered tho agent
for Ono balo of good middling
$1000 ; and for cue bale of stained
middling S99S Bo declined to
tell unless I paid him 82000 fortlio
two bales and to for tho sum of S2
tho trade was off. About one
month ago (knowing that ho still 1
held them) I asked if ho did not!
think it was lime lo sell. Ho said
'Yes' and 1 sold tho two bales at
eight and a half cents per pound
realizing ahont S82 for the same
two identical bales. This I think
cannot bo beat."

OW. A HOME.
Everyman should own a home
if ho can. The philosophy winch
tells a man lo diitt over the mean
of this uncertain life without a
homo of his own is wrong. The
man who docs not own his homo is
like a ship out at sea at tho hazard
of tho storm. A man who owns
his homo is like a ship that ha
arrived in port and is moored in a
safe harbor. Ono man should no
moro bo content to livo in another
man's house if ho can build one ol
own than ono bird should take
tho risk of hatching in another's
nest. 1 should rather bo able to
own arottaircthan to hire a palace.
I would say to every nvm buy a
home it you can ami own it- If a
windfall has como to you buy a
home; if you havo laid up niniic"
by honest toil buy a home it you
have mr.de money in stocks buy a
home. Do let anybody tempt you
to put all 3'our winnings back into
the pool. Tako out enough to buy
a home and buy it. Put tho rest
back it you will gamble nn it it
if you must but buy you a home
first buy it and sell it not. 1 hen

them you aro working Inr yinr-
sclf and not for others. If there
bo children there then there are
flowers within the house and with-
out. Buy a homo. Exchange.
