Bulletin No. 19 of the South Carolina Statiou is designed to show the possi bilities of tho dairy business under the conditions which prevail in the South. In its directions bow to select nnd breed cows it epitomizes the knowledge gnined by experiment at different stations throughout the coun try. The value of different feeds and the bet-t nnd most economical methods of using them ore given in tho bulletin, which also treats of stables and fasten ings, milk and milking, cream and butter, cheese-making, dairy by-pro cluots, etc. It is a simple, concise and eminently prnctical handbook which possesses considerable value and must provo of assistance to tho farmer who is anxious to engage in somo line of production that promises more re muneration than cotton-growing. THE SMUT PARASITE. If smutted wheat or oats aro sown, the smut parasite grows up with the stalks, attacks tho forming grain and causes great loss. Hence if we kill the smut ou the seed beforo sowing it, the danger of smut in tho crop is im mensely reduced. To absolutely kill tho sinut spores, immerse tho seed grain in water at 133 degrees F, add ing hot water as needed to keep up the heat, but never letting it go above 135 degrees or below 130 degrees. The immersion must be at least twelve but not over fifteen minutes, when the seed mud be at once dipped into cold water, or cold water poured over it, then spread out io dry. Professor Arthur, of Indiana, recommends a temperature of 140 degrees when the seed is putin, renewing it in a few minutes when down to 130 degrees. This does not injure the seed, as is apt to be the case with bluestone (sulphate of copper) treatment.—American Agri culturist. USES FOR I'OTATO TORS, Since tho fungus nature of potato rot lias bccomo known, farmers are less inclined to draw their potato tops to the bnrn yard than they used to be. No quicker way of spreading tho fungus can be devised than mixing it with fermenting manure. Neither should cattlo bo fed the rotten pota toes from tho cellar during the winter. Some of the worst affected pieces will be rejected by the cow and bo thrown into tho manure pile. Tho potato etulks often are affected by tho fungus when it does not repch tho potato tubers, lint tho potato top has valu able mamirial properties audit should not bo wasted. It is very rich in potash, and as it rots very quickly, it makes tho best covering for straw berry plants lato in the fall. The vines will be rotted down early in the spring, and will not need to be re moved. They will furnish sufficient protection m winter without danger of smothering the strawberry plants, nnd in spring will mako a rich mulch that will help the growth of the berry crop.—Boston Cultivator. PREPARING FOR THE WINTER DAIRT. Don't bo guilty of tho carelessness or unbusiness-like thoughtlessness of having cows served now or during the next tbreo mouths BO they will come in during tho flush of feed and flood of milk. Neither cream ror butter brings so much then, and is really difficult to dispose of. If tho cows rest any time, let them rest then (while farm work is driving), and calve in July, August or September. Coming in at this timo they will give more milk than they would otherwise do when milk and all dairy products aro high, audmore nearly equalize tho work of the year. Somo foolishly fear it will bo impossible to get the cows with calf if service is delayed, but this proved to be a fallacy. The cow's condition should be watched and she Bhould be treated patiently while in season, but the time when she is next to calve may be controlled as most things in business life. Na ture calls for ninety per cent, of the calves in spring, when even a calf will scarcely sell because there are so many of them. But the sensible farmer does not always let nature dominate. He has the market and other artificial conditions to meet, and must cultivate fresh cows ut the periods of greatest profit.—New England Homestead. riCKINCI AND MARKETING THE QUINCE. The error of many growers is the time of picking and the manner of handling. AB quinces do not blow off like apples or pears, many growers pick when convenient and that may be only after they have become yellow. An experience of years in growiug, buying and shipping quinces causes tho writer to believe thero is a right time to pick ; that two days before tho timo is too early, and two days after that right timo is too late for tho good of the fruit. A little too early, the fruit is not well colored and it does not present its best uppearance in market; a little too late, especially if the weather bo warm, and it is over ripe, and it is just then that black spot, ■v'lere it exists, gets in its work rapidly. People are cautioned, ovr and over again to haodlo fruit carefully, and this applies more to qninoes than to any other fruit. A slight bruise, from dropping into the basket or turning into tho barrel, in forty-eight hours has become an ill-looking brown patch. Slack packing in the barrel is disastrous, for fruit oarolesaly put up this way will hardly bring freight charges. The moving about of speci mens during transit, perhaps for hun dreds of miles, is ruination to the wholo package. Another thing to be observed is to pack ami ship at ouce, or as soon as they are taken from tin bushes. Tbo writer's own quiuces, while no better Hum ninny others, havo for many years sold for from tlfty cents to a dollar per barrel moro Hiau average qninces ou account of tlic cure in pick ing and packing which made them ■how well 111 market. Tho provorbiil "handle like eg;;*'" appllvt very much to the marketing of qninces.—Ameri can Agriculturist. CATTLE RAISING. In cattle raising much of the profit depends upon the skill of the feeder and the maturity of the breed, two points that were formerly never con sidered. Feeding then consisted in supplying the animal with snffioient food to keep him alive and to fatten him if necessary. The quality of the food was not generally considered, nor was there much trouble taken to find out whether it was a suitable ration. The question of early ma turity was never raised, because un known, the common stock of the coun try always maturing late. All this is now altered. The various kinds of feed and the best methods of using them have become favorite sub jects for discussion and disagreement, while the experiment stations, with their innnmerablo tables and formulas by which to construct a "well-balanced ration" add greatly to the goneral en lightenment and sometimes to the general bewilderment, for feeding is not and oannot be an exact scienoe, because the matter of price is one of the prime factors in the calculation how to produce tho greatest amount at the least possible cost. This is just where the skill of tho feeder comes in, and this is where experience counts. He has learned the cheapest kinds of feed in his locality unci the propor tions in which to mix tl.em, and he knows whether it is best to produce or purchase them. He has also realized the value of variety in the feed. The introduction of the improved breeds has brought up the question of early maturity, with which we are all now familiar. The quicker the stock can be fitted for market the greater the profit. Early maturity means the largest proportion of muscle or lean meat for the least food eaten, as well as the attainment of this condition at the earliest possible age. All growth is made from what is eaten in excess of the amount necessary to support life, and the quicker it reaches the stage best fitted for food not only will it have cost less per pound, but it will have developed the tendetest and the largest amount of lean meat. These two factors are the prime considera tions of the consumer, and the feedei who caters to them receives tho larg est returns for his work. This is so well recognized that all progressive cattlemen now feed off as early as pos sible.—New York World. GOOD noas VALUABLE. It is difficult for some farmers tc appreciate the true value of good hogf for breeding purposes. This is true as much in the ranks of the well-to-do stock feeders as it is among the poorer grain growers, who tremble to think of investing a cent beyond the intrin sic pork value of breeding swine. In the case of a brood sow, that has the fattening quality, which all im proved hogs should have, that trans mitted to the offspring furnishes a lit ter of half a dozen with the capacity of early maturity, the superiority should be easily noted. The pig that grows and fattens at 250 days of age into 250 pounds weight at a total oJ food equivulent to but four-fifths ol the amount fed to an ordinary "gooc pig," is surely worth searching for. The improved swine of the country comprise a good proportion of vigor ous feeder and with disposition to ap propriate their food to their growth and tho storing away of fat as well at flesh. With right solection, by the exer ciso of proper judgment, the hog breeders may produce from a single litter of thoroughbred pigs one-fourth more pork, to say the least, than from tho same number of the com mon sort. Tho pork, too, sells under all conditions for fully one-tenth moro per pound. These results follow, as a rule, tbo use of a good sire, and with due diligence in procuring the best high grr.de or pure bred dams, a better showing can be made. Six litters ordinarily furnish thirty substantial pigs. On tho basis of 250 pounds weight at eight months, and one-fifth of this as the result of using a puro bred sire, wo Bhould have to his credit fifty pounds per head, or for thirty pigs in growth into ma turity 1500 pounds additional of pork, worth ordinarily $1 per hundred in the farmer's yard, thus placing to the credit of the improved sire alone S6O. Added to this conservative estimate the gain which would accrue were both sire and damß of tho highest or der, and 8100 would be a moderate limit to plaoo on the increased value of the exercise of brains, and diligent care to get the best, and to do the best in every way on each lot of a half dozen sows, bred in the modern methods of wide-awake, thiuking farmers. Of course, the averago farmer will attain tho above results on twice the number of litters, if he exercises or nary carc. Tho ordinary increased value of a boar for such results is but sls. Where sixty mature hogs are grown from tho use of a good sire, the profit on this $25 sire (allowing $lO for commercial value) where but a speculation of sls is made amounts to eight times, or on but thirty pigs four times the suiu ventured. The profit net on the thirty pigs, $45, will ordi uarily pay all tho taxes and more ou the averago farm. It will also pay foi inoro than one acre of tho average farm. It thus follows that it pays tc think about the hogs. It in moro im portant still to ait promptly, and se | cure good broediup stock before the I M-HHOU is paused for selecting the Lost.—Farm, Fiold and Fireside. ItuUbrr Put lee Clulis.

A new canning apparatus that is finding much favor with the house keeper*, and with teacher* of cooking, has a flat vessel somewhat like a low tin box, into which are fitted one, two, three, or four cylinders, according to tbo size of the apparatus bought. These cylinders are each provided with a patent cover, with a handle. The fruit is placed at once in the glass jar, and set ineide the cylinder, where it is cooked by steam. The bos in which the cylinders are placed is filled with water, and has at the side a steam whistle and combined filter. It is claimed for the fruit preserved in this way that tho forcing of the steam into the contents of the jar, thus driving out the air, kills all bacteria, and gives the fruit a much moro natural flavor than that cooked from the bot tom in an ordinary preserving kettle. As the fruit is quickly cooked while it is covered, and is sealed as soon as cooked, there is no opportunity for it to lose its aroma. Little time is cou sumed, as the fruit has only to bo handled once, and in the case of very soft fruits they do not lose their shape by handling several times. Vege tables are also easily canned by this process, and with a better flavor and more likelihood of keeping than by the old way. The apparatus can bo used over gas, oil or coal stoves. The water and sugar added to different fruits are heated to the boiling poiut. skimmed, and poured over the fruit after it is packed in the jars, and just before steaming.—New York Po3t. Hrt.ES OF PICKLING AND ItKCIPES. Use none but the best vinegar an.l boil in a porcelain kettle, never iu metal. It is best not to boil tho vin egar, as in this way it is weakened; bring it only to the scalding poiut be fore pouring it over tho pickles. A lump of alum the tize of a small nut meg scalded with the cucumber or gherkin pickles makes them crisp and tender, but too much is injurious. Pickles should bo kept in a dry, cool cellar, in glass or stoneware; look at tbem frequently and remove all the soft ones. If white specks appear iu the vinegar, draiu off and scald, add in? a handful of sugar to each gallon, nnd pour again over tho pickles. Keep pickles from the air and teo that the vinegar is at least two inches over the top of pickles in the jar. A dry, wooden spoon or ladle should be used in handling pickles an 1 is the ouly one that should touch them iu tho jar?. Pickles are not noted for whole some qualities, bnt if they must b« eaten it is best to mako thorn at home. Sweet Pickled Cucumbers—Prepare and quarter ripe cucumber?, take out seeds, clean, lay in brino (that will Hoat an egg) for niuo days, stirring every day, takeout an I putin clean water one day; lay lu aluiu water overnight; make syru.i of one piut good vinegar, one pound brown su gar, two tablespoonfuls each broken cinnamon bark, mace and pepper; make syrup of three pints sugar to one quart vinegar enongh to cover the slices, lay them in aud cook till ten der. Pickled Onions —Pour boiling brinu over the small button onions, let them stand twenty-four hour?, then druiu and cover with hot vinegar spiced to taste. Citron Pickle—Cut your melon in pieces and boil in salted water until tender, then drain and add thrtjo quarts vinegar, two pounds sugar an I one-half pouud cassia bud". Boil tivo minutes. Ripe cucumbers or water melon rinds will do as well as tho citron melon. Small Cucumber Pickles--Wash and wipe 100 small cucumbers and place them in jars ; cover them with boiling brine strong enough to float an let stand twenty-four hours. Then take them out, wipe, and place in clean jars and cover with hot vinegar spiced with oniou, twelve, whole cloves, one ounce mustard seed and three blades of mace. They will be ready for use in two weeks. Cucumber Catsup—Grate the cu cumbers aud strain off tho water through a colander. Add six largo onions chopped fine to one gallon of the grated und strained cucumbers. Add vinegar, salt, cayenne pepper and horse radish to taste. Bottle without cooking. Pyfer Pickles—Salt pickles down dry for ten days, soak in fresh water one day, pour off water, place in por celain kettle, cover with water and vinogar and add one teaspoon pulver ized alum to each gallon. Place one night on stove which had lire iu dur ing day, wash and put iu jar with cloves, allspice, pepper, horse radish and onions or garlic, boil fresh vin egar and pour over all. In two weekti they will be ready for use. These pickles are always fresh and crisp aud are mado much more easily than in the old fashioned way by keeping iu brine.

At this time, it is said in a curious old State report, tho college was a building of three stories, "like a brick kiln," and had thirty gentlemen students. Tho students lodged in dormitories, ato at the "commons" and were satisfied with what we would consider prison diet. Breakfast, a small can of coffee, a bis cuit, about an ounce of butter. Din ner, one pound of meat, two potatoes and 6ome vegetables. Supper, bread and milk. Tho only unlimited sup ply furnished was cider, which wits passed in a cup from mouth to mouth. The days were spoken of as boil day, roast day, stew day, etc.—Chicago News. o 9 s international ( g 5 I' Succntorofthe" Unabridged." Tli|Q'<niinrv V 0 L c Specimen pages, etc., eeuiou application.

A REMEDY. <• Women Are Snhjwt to Both, on Account of Tight Lacing. From the Ewnityj Newt, Newark, N. ■/. One of the happiest women in this city 13 Mrs. George Q. Relss, of 29 Montgomoery Street. * "No one to look at mo now," sold Mrs. Bolss to a reporter, "would think for a mo ment that I was so 111 that the do3tors said I could not possibly be saved. About three years ago I began to suffer from terrible pains In my stomach and it was almost Im possible for mo to do any work. Then I had severe headaches that almost distracted mo and altogether I was in a very sad condition. Of course I wanted to be well again, and like most people In such cases, I consulted a doc tor, spent money for medicine and took It faithfully. To my Infinite regret I got no better, and another doctor was called in. More medicine was prescribed and this I took, but It did no good. Those terrible pains continued to make life miserable for me. The doctors blandly told me that I could not be cured entirely. If at all. Pleas ant news, wasn't it? Well, X continued to work about tho house here and suffered un told agonies. I did not give up hope but did all I could to relieve my misery. Nothing gave me any relief, however, and I had be gun to think that all hope must be aband oned, when, in reading the Eneniua Newt. I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised. The printed testimonial coming from a resi dent of this city led me to bolleve that I, too, might bo benefited by these pills and not without some misgivings I bought a box of them. "Almost as soon as I began to take them I felt relieved and the first marked Indication of improvement was when that tired, wenry, don't-eare feeling disappeared. Tills was In itself something to be grateful for, but other and more pleasing results hjJJowed after t hud taken more of the pills. My headaches ceuseil entirely and the pain In my stomach troubled me no more. Nofc once in a great while I have an occasional ache or a pain, I'Ut I know the cure. Out comes the Pink Pills, and after tnklng one or two of them, away tho pain goes. It all seems so good to me that al times I can scarcely bellevo that It can be true and yet I know that if I hail not used these rink Pills I would still bo suffering agony such as few people do in this world." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, In a con densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an un failing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sclatlea. neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, pal pitation of tho heart, pale and sallow com plexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female.
