Whistles Supplant tho Engine Bells. Tho South Carolina Railway Company Is gradually dispensing with bell and cord on its passenger engines nnd coaches, which custom has heretofore been t-o long in existence. Instead of the bell in tho cab of tho engine, connected with tho passenger couches, nerving as a means for signaling the engineer by the conductor, a whistle is placed in the cab directly in front of the engineer's scat, and this is operated on thu same system that tho air brakes ttro controlled. Tho whistle is con tacted with the air reservoir, and when tho conductor desires to signal the en gineer ho Minnly presses a button, which is connected by the air-pipes with the whistle, and tho tignal is instantly given. Tho button and tho whistle are very sensitive, so to speak, and the slightest touch of tho button will dis charge the air into tho whistle, nistuutly giving the desired signal. Major 1'. J. Cochran, the superintend ent of tho South Carolina llailway shops, kindly exhibited to a reporter for the 'Sew the system now being used by the "Old Kcliuble," and also stated that four engines on this railway had been sup plied with the new system. As fust as jwssible all the passenger engines of the South Carolina Railway will be supplied with the system, and it is likely that the various railroad companies iu the (state will follow suit and adopt this plan of signals. The system is made bv ir AVetinghouse Air Brake Company of I'lttsburg, l eun. Major Cochran is al ways on the outlook for some now con trivance for the rolling stock of the South Carolina Railway, and he is to be . congratulated on tho introduction of this new and useful system on ha road. 'Charleston (.S. C.) Sect. riiospiiorcscrnt Haters. Lieutenant Haba-ham, in his account of the North I'acilic Surveying and Ex ploriug Expedition, describes some itranne appearances of the water teen about the Cape of Good Rope. ' The whole surface of the harbor would at times bu colored by a greasy, frothy, variously covered substuncc, that gave the water a most uncleanly appearance during the day, but will h at night caused it to jcsemble a cako of niulten gold.

Trofcssor T. Hunt of the Illinois Col lege Farm concludes as follows in sum ming up the result! of his experiments in feeding pigs : 1. It required 1:1,90 pounds of skim inilk to pioduce ono pound of pork whi n fed with cornmcalin ratio 11-7 to fattening hogs. 2. Skim-milk could not be economically fed to hogs unless it was a waste product which could not bo otherwise utilized. :'. It required on an average 4 J pounds of shelled corn to produce ono pound of pork during an average period of four weeks, or ono bushel produced 1UJ pounds. 4. It required -1J pounds of cornmcal to produce ono pound of pork, or one bushel of corn made into meal and fed dry produced 12 J pounds of pork. o. When fed dry, shelled corn in moro economical than cornmcal to feed to fattening hogs. (. It remiircd 74 rounds or one-fourth bushel of ground oats to produce one pound of pork, when fed with equal jr'irts by weight of cornmcal. i. one juhel of corn is worth nenrlv .1 I V , . . , - . mice uusueis oi oats as loou lor fatten ing hogs. f.

The gain for tho amount of food consumed decreased durum fattening. iu. rone was produced during tho cold weathc-, with corn at twenty-eight ceuts per bushel, for less than three cents per pound. II.

I would plough this fall just as soon as me grouuu is uamp cnougn, ana l would bloUjh VPrV lloi'tl if nlmtrrlinrl fl.ia f 1 1 the "roots w ill soon die and rot, and tho irosts oi winter will nolp to pulverize the sod. Another advantage of fall ploughing is the destruction of worms that are stowed away for winter. I have very littlo sympathy with the idea of the soil getting manure from tho winds or frosts of winter. They only tend to harmonie the manures that aro already in the soil and act ns pulverizers instead of manure. Should this piece bo le't to be ploughed in spring it would have to thaw out and then dry, and by thattimo the grass would get a "start and in ordei to kill the grass it would have to be ploughed shallow. Thou if a dry sum mer should follow the sod would not rot snd it would be very diilicut to cultivate nd a light crop would be the result. Now I would say to a young farmer, if ho wishes a lesson that will last him tho balance of his farming life, let him cut a iitch above this piece that will keep oft ill surplus water: then let him take halt af tho piece and plough it th s full ns Seep as two or thiee horses can draw tho plough, and next spring, as soon as tho land is dry enough to get a team on it, let him comrrence to harrow. Once a week or moro will not hurt until plant ing time, and if he has the right kind ol harrow he can harrow until the corn is large enough to plough. With regard to the other half la him plough it next ipring, und follow the mine course, nnd 'jote the results, nnd I am sure it will be jne that will last him. In regard to the idea that the freshly turned sods would help tho corn more than anything else, 1 am surprised that farmer of any experience would ad vocate such a theory. How could corn be planted or cultivated to any advantage on freshly turned sodsi I am in favor o planting corn in freshly stirred land, bul I want it freshly stirred with a good tteel-tooth harrow. Si able-Manure. Notwithstanding the fact that in many lections of che country cast of tho Alio ghaniea, and more especially south, sta ble manure is diflicult to obtain, it it nevertheless true that it is the best possi ble manure that can be applied. Whyi It COntaillSRll tllPrnnalilnnnto i n ,1 ,1 i humus, that are needed by tho crops'; uu 1110 riciier uie iuoa given animals, the better tlin mnniira lunir . u .. . , iuiuivis make the serious mistake of allowing tho soluble portions of the manure to escape by leaching. Another great waste results from allowing tho liquid excre ment to eseapo in tho stable. This liquid manure and the soluble portions of the solid part, aro the most valuable. In fa' t nothing that is used ns manure, either the commercial or the barnyard kind, can be taken up by plants, except after being solved by water. How necessary, therefore, that all that may be liquid should be conserved. Reside the escape of fertilizing mattei by leaching an ay, there is too often so nous lo during tho heating of the pile by the escape of the gases in tho process of fermentation. The chief loss here is in the shape of costly nitrogen always as ammonia. To prevent this, add al ternate layersof strong loam and manure, as the mid is laid up. The loam w ill absorb and hold tho ammonia. To prevent the loss of the li luid por tions of the manure by leaching, select a place where there is a clote clay soil. Form this, dishing to tho center, and puddle the bottom by tramping with cat tlo when wet. This will render the bottom practically water tight. Now if in the center a well is dug, say three feet deep, and covered to keep the solid ma nure frcm entering, theu if some common suction pump is placed therein, and the manure laid up regularly all around, the liquid may be pumped over the pilo from time to time, U5istiiig materially iu rot-i ting the whole equally. Manure thus made is woi th ton for ton three or four titues that made in the manner common with too many farmers. Drairie t'urrrw. Preparing RX for Winter. i A bee-Kerprr of large experience givei the following advice through the col umns of U leaning of lie Ciiltiire- Years ngo, when I first began to keep boos, I thought there was littlo which needed doing with tho bees during tho month of September and October, thinking that tho month of November was early enough to prcpnre bees for winter, and ninny a time have I equalized filestores iu tho hive "by frost," ns 1 used to term it, thinking that 1 could get along with the matter easier nnd quicker while tho bees wcro thickly packed awny in their winter quarters, than I could possibly do when warm weather compelled nie to use smoko to drive tho bees out of tho way, nnd keep their temper down to I could handle them. Well, if this wero all there was to it I should still prefer to equalise the stores alter cold nights had compelled the bees to contract oil tho heavy combs of honey; but after losing heavily several times when preparations wero thus delayed, for the reason that tho disturbing of bees lato in the fall seems to bo very injurious, I concluded to tnko the advice of an old bee-keeper, who told mo that the month of Septem ber was the proper time to fix the bees for w inter. After working on this plan for a number of years, I find that he was quito right about it; and in order that tho readers of (ilenning may bo re minded that winter is soon to be upon us, and that they should not delay get ting the bees ready for it longor than till the last of this month, I will tell them a little of how I work along this lino. The point which seems to have ths greatest bearing on successful wintering is tho getting of tho winter stores neat nnd around tho cluster of bees in time for them to settle down into that quies cent stale so conducive to good winter ing, prior to November first. To ar rango theso stores and properly seal thein requires warm weather; hence it is clear, I think, to all, why w o should not put oil caiing for them till cold weather arrives. To bo suro that all have the do sired amount of honey, there is only one certain way to do, and that is to open tho hives and take each frame and weigh it, after having shaken the bees off from it. Next weigh a framo of empty comb, or several of them, so as to pet tin average weight, which, when deducted from tho weight of those in the hive, will give tho weight of the honey. If it is found that there are twenty five poundi of honey, I call that colony nil right foi winter. If less it must bo fed to makt up the delic'cucy; if more, it can spar some to help another colony whicn if short. In this way I go over the wholt yard, equalizing nnd feeding, if it is re quired, till all have the required twenty five pounds. Whore feuding is required, I mnnng dilTereutly from what 1 used to, in that 1 now feed from three to five pounds t day, whilo formerly I used to feed all tho colony required, nt ono feeding. Tt be sure, there is less work where tin whole is fed at once; but to offset this, we havo tho stoics scattered all through the hive, which, in my opinion, is a very undesirable shape to have them in. Where it is necessary to feed 1 atwayt select the number of combs that I think the colony will require, taking those which have the most honey in them.nnd, by means of this same division-board feeder, shut tho bees on that number of combs, which (combs) of course get all the feed, thus securing it la just tho shape neoded. Farm and Garden Notes. Soap and kerosene emulsion has been found successful in destroying white t'rubs on lawns. A good rule in mixed farming is to keep sutlicieut stock to consume all tho products of the farm. Make your farm such that poor animals would disgrace it; mnke your nnimala such that a poor farm would be unfit for them. Ordinary warts on cattle may be re moved with a knife, and tho surfaco of tho wound touched with lunar caustic to prevent excessive bleeding. Strawberry plants should not bo cov vered for the winter until after the soil is frozen, and then simply shade them. Do not attempt to keep the p lants warm, for warmth not needed, but is in jurious. While milk is etauding for cream to riso, tho purity of tho cream, and con sequently the tine flavor and keeping ol the butter, will bo injured if the Burfacc of tho cieam is exposed freely to ail mueh warmer than the cream. I!o not pack pears, grapes or any fruit in bran, to keep during winter. The bran causes the fruit to ripen very fast, l'lace in bran if yon desire a fine color and quick ripening, but examine often or tho fruit will got overripe, Tho live weight of a cow decides hor ration of support, It should be equal to two aud ono half per cent in dry food matter, or not less than thirty pounds per day of good hny or its equivalent in grain, straw, ensilage or roots for a 1000 pound cow. As milk is an animal secretion manu factured by the cow, it must be evident that anything which worries, frets or torments the cow, or renders her uneasy or uncomfortable, will certainly lessen the quantity and affect the composition of her milk. The fiios which annoy horses so much may be kept from the animals by sprinkling the litter with a solution of two ounces of carbolic acid in a pailful of water and oy sponging the horse with a little of the solution mixed with au equal quantity of kerosene oil. The best and richest milk is found to bo produced just after growth ceases, and while the vitality is strongest. When a cow has reached that age when she be gins to lose vital force, her secretions of milk becomes less perfect, just as her digestions and assimilation do. Do not neglect your strawberry bed9. Clean out the weeds and mulch them. A good working, followed by a generous supply of manure, then a good coating of straw, applied withia the Lext thirty 'days, will insure a good crop of berries 'next year. Next year's berries are formed tnis year. A Southern paper says the percentage of loss from cola is heavier among South iern stock than Northern, as is shown by government statistics. Shelter for cattle in winter is demanded by both humanity and economy. I nsheltered stock is un profitable stock, and indicates a cruel aud thriftless owner. The black rot in the fruit of tomatoei is caused by tho fame fungus which produces rot in potatoes. '1 he tomato ii closely related to the potato, and ii dub ect to this worst of disease, which affects the latter plant.
