lUK National Tobacco Associa
tion mcrnornlizes Congress not to al
low growers to sell leaf tobacco to
consumers, or, in other words to
continue the restriction of the grow
ers' market to the comparative!!
ninitll gang of manufacturers arid
dealers. I hat s right gentlemen
Keep the screws tightened down 01
the farmer at every possible point.
SPKAKIMI of the present dullness
and uncertainty in the tobacco leaf j
trade, on account of the tardy action
ot Congress regarding the turiir, the
I'onnrrticut Fnrmtr gives a line or
twoof excellent advice : "Ion't pise-- J
your w hole dependence upon a single
s|>eculativc crop. It is an excellent
time to figure out what eh- you can
raise to the Lest advantage."
SKNA T OK 11 A vis, of West \ irginin,
is one of the few men in the National
Legislative body who take an active
interest in furthering the agricultural
interests of the country. A couple
of wrecks ago he tnadc a sjicecb in the
Senate in advocacy of the bill to en
large the powers and duties of the
(b'pnrtmcnt of agriculture which
bristled with interesting statistics,
ami tables. Among others was one
showing that in the total farm
products of the country amounted to
ulsiiit $.1,500,000,00(1. a sum greater,
as everyone knows, than our entire
national indebtedness. Another show
ed thnt the value of the three leading
crops, corn, cotton and ha\,for the
tame year was over $ 1,100,00(1,000.
Still others show that over So | K - r
c> nt. of the value of the total ) *•
ports is furnished hi the agriculture
of the country, and that the average
duty paid upon articles used most
largely by the farmer is near to cent.
In addition to these tabh <• Mr. limit
gave the following figures which c,m
not fail to bo of inter. *t to even
farmer:
"Russia is our great rival in agri
cultural products, ami she cx|n<ls
more money, as I hare before said,
in a single year than the I'nited
Slates docs in ten. Let me state
some of the amounts expend.d by
European governments in aid of ng
ricultnre. Russia spends annually
$5,012,350; Prussia, $ 1,054,*75 ; A us"
tna. $5,006.7H7 ; France, $7,271,375;
Italy, $1,589,900 ; and the l*nilcd
States for the last ten ycurs has ex
ponder! $2,717,49 i', and lor the past
year, ISB2, s3fiO,2'<o. Tlic-se figures
show clearly that any one of the
leading powers of Europe expends
more annually for the carc of agri
culture than we have in the last ten
years.
I have seen tt stated and I think it
true, thnt out of the three hundred
and sixty-nine member* of the two
Houses of Congress there are but
sixteen farmers to two hundred and
fifty-two lawyers—fifteen or sixteen
to one. In the Hrilish Parliament
there arc one hundred and eight lnw
ycrs and three hundred at.d sixty
three farmers. This shows that we
have sixteen farmers in the two
Houses of Congress to represent 2fi,-
000,000 agriculturists and (heat
Britain has, if my table is true, as I
tbink it is, three hundred and sixty
three farmers to represent 12,000,000
agriculturists."
EVF.RV crop that the farmer
from bis land is so much
rived from ths joint expenditure of
his labor and capital. To keep bis
capital from continually decreasing,
he must return to it as much ss he
has token away, and to do this he
must apply manure to his farm.—
John M. Stahl.
StoumlnK Fodder.
I'wi'tilnr Hr)riii Mi.nlhl/.
Taking the word "fodder" in the
broadest sense, as any kind of food
lor graminivorous animals, we may
say that it will always pay to steam
or cook feed for swine, and often for
cows in stables containing twenty
live head or more, while for sheep
and horses it will be of doubtful ex
pediency, and usually not advisable
under any circumstances. The cook
ing oT feed for fattening swine is so
important as a matter of economy
that it will pay, even though done
with little regard to the saving of
labor and fuel. On the other hand,
to cook the Iced for meat cattle with
profit, not only should there be ani
mulh enough to make it pay but the
ration- should be so carefully plan*
ned that by mingling of palatable
with less relished and coarse fodder
a saving may IK* effected in that way.
Besides, the object for which the cat
tle are kept is an important factor to
•H- considered in the feeding. The
llowr of milk is increased by steaming
the fodder; the color of the butter
is, however, injured. The same ra
• ion will prove more fattening, while,
it the same time, there will be little
n no waste if the steaming is well
managed. It is best to have the
steamed ration composed of a variety
of feed, such as cornfodder, roots,
nay or oats straw, with bran and corn
meal, or cotton seed, or linseed oil
cake or meal. The substitution of
or.r kind of fodder or local for an.
other gives variety and relish. 'I be
coarse fodder is cooked soft, and the
llsvor of the roots and of the meal
pervades the mass.

The Temperiutf of tho Cream.
I.ltf ftiotk Juhrail,
The tempering of cream in one of
the most important operations in
butter making. This is especially
true in cobJ weather. The different
parts of cream are affected different*
ly by heat. A can of cream may be
placed in a kettle of hot water and
heated till the thermometer indicates
C>2 to r.r, degrees without having
heated the butter globules in the
cream at all. This w ill not ordinari
ly be the case, it is true, but it is
liable to be, and it is approximately
so in all cases where the heating is
rapid. ( ream should he kept warm
for several hours before churning
that it rimy become warmed through,
"r, i 1 it is necessary to temper it
hastily, it should be raised consider
ably above the churning temperature
and suffered to fall back, which it
will do in a short time.
Successful Farming.

•<f the agricultural fraternity. Jiy a
"successful farmer'' is meant one who
from his farm makes a living for
himself and fur his posterity. Not
one of the "bonanza sort,'' who from
thousands of acres gather thousands
of bushels, and when these acres are
exhausted abandons them for fresh
fields and pastures new, but one who
from the soil he cultivates derives a
subsistence constantly augmenting,
and finally leaves his capital unim
pnrcd, and possibly increased to his
successor.
Preventing Garget.

means an uncommon trouble with
new milch cows, and those which arc
best fed and best cared for are not
liable to meet with ; t. Now that the
cows are soon to "come in," the fol
lowing advice upon the subject from
the lir> nicr r (iuirtu will prove a
"word in s. as n": "If there is a
large accumulation of milk before
calving, it will be well to relieve the
cow of some o( the milk, twice a day,
but without taking away all. But
immediately aA< r calving, the udder
should IH' stripped clean thrice daily,
beside* letting the calf have access
to . If any undue heat, redness or
tumefaction should be detected on

twice a day with hog's lard."

I KNOW of no bettor way to be
cotne possessed of a practical know!-
edge of farming than for the farmers
of a neighborhood to form them
selves into a club and hold weekly,
or at least fortnightly, meetings, for
the free discussion of all topics con.
ncctcd with their business, and for
a mutual exchange of thought and
opinion.
It mutters little whether the meet
ings arc formal or informal in their
character, provided the one object is
kept constantly in view——that of giv
ing and impntling knowledge. Those
who put the most lalmr aud thought
into the business of the club will la
the most benefited by the meetings.

As it is almost impossible to make
a horse unlearn any thing he learns,
very great pains should here be taken
