Opportunities in the South. - No portion of the United Btates has made greater progress in the past year or two than the South. Northern and foreign capital is rapidly invading that section, finding profitable investment in the various industries and factories that are being rapidly developed and built. The great influx of settlers is crerting an increased demand for lands of all kinds, and prices are gradually advancing, as they will for years to come. Work is plentiful and poverty practically unknown. Alabama is supplying coal and iron to all the world. More money can be made alid with less labor in the raising of small fruits and berries and in truck patching along the Gulf Coast than in any other state in the Union. Strawberries from Alabama reach Northern markets before those from the states in the southeast. Cattle can be raised with great profit, there being millions of acres of cheap range lands. If you are interested in the south and its resources and desire information on any subject, address G. A. PARK, General Industrial and Immigration Agent, LOUISVILLE 8 NASHVILLE RAILROAD,LOUISVILLE. KY.

GARDEN AND FARM

ORCHARDS IN THE SPRING. . Every tree and vine planted Is subject to disease and attacks of insects. If all the varieties of fruit trees were diseased alike some remedy for prevention could be devised that would be safe and serviceable, but the climate and soil sometimes affect the conditions and render the methods practiced by fruit growers in one section unsuccessful in another, thus calling for different managements in different localities. The peach, which formerly flourished as well In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as In Delaware, has proved unprofitable of late years in some sections, owing to the “yellows.” The borer has done great damage, but the work of the borer can be prevented if the trees are carefully watched. It has been supposed that the yellovs Is the resu't o' exhaustion of the oil—• not that the EotU becomes necessarily sterile, biF teat the elements essential so the healthy growth of the tree and production of fruit have been supplied. As a proof of this fact it may be mentioned that in some sections of New .Jersey the fruit-growers are again giving their attention to peach-grow-ing, as time has enabled the soil to accumulate and store up the elements best adapted for that purpose, but as yet there seems to be no sure remedy for the yellows, except to destroy all infested trees. The success of the Delaware peach-growers is due to their adoption of all the advantages necessary to success and the avoidance of the mistakes committed elsewhere. Artificial fertilizers have done much to prevent diseases of fruit trees, as by their use the growers can supply the needed requirements in any form and quantity desired of the essential elements, which is not the case when reliance is placed exclusively upon barnyard manure, which, by its decomposition in the soil, sometimes, induces the disease which it Is sought to prevent. The yellows attacks peach trees in any climate, but singles out those that are impoverished and of feeble growth, though it Is contagious ’.vhen brought In eoniact with healthy trees. The blight is a great enemy of pear fees. It. has Iven found that the disease attacks those trees that have been forced too rapidly in growth, and that It will not do to heavily manure and cultivate the trees before they begin to bear, the best conditions being a light grass crop In the orchard, assisted by artificial fertilizers composed largely of potash. Potash Is also beneficial to the peach, and, in fact, to all fruits, increasing the amount of saccharine matter, although but little potash really enters into the composition of the fruit, During the period of fruiting, ground bone, or superphosphate has proved beneficial, the strawberry being an example. While it is essential that the trees he kept in a strong, healthy, vigorous growth, more damage has been done by forcing them than in any other manner. Exposing the surface soil to the heat of the sun’s rays in summer is detrimental, and hence the value of a grass crop in the pear orchard, which shades the trees, but such crop must be supplied with plant-food to prevent robbery of the orchard. A cheap and excellent fertilizer is made by composing marl, lime and old sod, allowing the mass to reach a fine condition before applying to the orchard, while stable manure, though combining all the elements of plant food, should never be used until thoroughly decomposed, the fresh material being too heating, as well as containing bacterial life detrimental to success. The peach orchard is cultivated differently from the pear trees. It Is now claimed that the same culture given corn answers for the peach, but nothing will avail to win success unless the trees carefully pruned and the borer prevented. Many of the obstacles heretofore encountered are due rather to Improper management than to other influences.—Philadelphia Record.

LIVE STOCK AND MANURE. The manure on the farm represents capital, but a problem to many farmers Is when to spread the manure. If done In the fall, upon plowed ground, the land may lose portions of the plant food by flow of water from the land. If done in the spring, tho work comes during a busy period. In Buch cases the topography of the land Is largely to be considered, and no plan or method will apply for all. The effects of liming the land are also frequently discussed, but the application of lime must be governed by the amount of green material plowed under, the requirements of the soil regarding lime and Its acidity. The farmers must endeavor to study these conditions, for too little lime may be of no service, while too much may cause Injury. The selection of live stock depends upon the fertility of tho farm. Some breeds can forage better than others, some can find subsistence on hilly land that cannot be plowed, and some require less care than others; but there are breeds which thrive only on luxuriant pasturage. and which demand attention during all seasons of the year. On certain farms only the active breeds are suitable, but on other farms the most profit is derived by the use of breeds that give a return for the extra labor bestowed. Every farmer must be capable of selecting what lie requires, and If he is unable to do so, then he has something to learn as a farmer. What each farmer should endeavor to do Is to Intelligently plan In advance his operations for the year. He may probably learn much ky observing his neighbors, but there - ~

will be some conditions on his fans which do not apply to their soils, an 4 he must solve the problems unaided. Much benefit is being derived by farm* era from the work of the experiment stations, but the farmer should also make his farm one on which to experiment. The information given from the stations will be valuable and of great assistance, but the many little details pertaining to each farm cannot be anticipated by the directors of the stations, and farmers can therefore not only educate themselves, but also be of service to the stations by making known their experience.— Philadelphia Record. THE FENCE QUESTION. Get any farmer estimate the cost of a fence around a three-hundred-acre farm and he will not object to having the privilege of growing crops on the fields without fear of trespass from the stock of his neighbor. Tkere is one good point in favor of a “no-fence” law, and that is it does not prevent anyone from having-as much fence as he desires. He can build miles of fence, but he cannot impose me same necessity upon his neighbor. He can also keep his stock on a smaller area, if he prefers, and he will be enabled to save a large portion of the manure that usually goes to waste. The “nofence law” has been a progressive step towards the soiling system, and all who have come within its province have been compelled to acknowledge that the change has permitted of greater economy an*, assisted largely in increasing the profits of stock-rais-ing—in every case proving a blessing. MANURE IN DEEP STALLS. Recent German tests indicate the desirability of keeping manure compact, as in deep stalls, and show the effectiveness of flour-sulphuric acid, a byproduct of superphosphate manufacture, containing ten to twelve per cent, of free sulphuric acid and twenty per cent, of fluorin, as a preservative as compared with other preservatives frequently recommended—-superphosphate-gypsum, sulphuric acid, etc. By this stall method is meant the plan of supplying plenty of bedding in the stalls until it reaches an inconvenient height <W until there is si%re time to fork i* out. When carefully managed it Is not a 4irty plan. The greatest objection f*.r an Eastern farmer is the immense amount of bedding needed. He no longer has much straw to spare, while leaves free from sticks and burrs are hard to get in sufficient quantities and difficult to store under cover. In the case of milk farmers, too, the system when known is liable to areftse prejudice on the part of consumers. For quantity and quality of manure made, nothing could be better than the stall plan of manure saving, but for the reasons noted, it does not gain much In popularity in the East.—The Cultivator. HOW TO MARKET EGGS. Fully BO per cent, of the eggs that come to market are so carelessly packed that their value is reduced fully one-third. No attention whatever Is paid to their appearance, and a case of eggs will contain some of all sizes, colors and shapes, many of which are covered with filth and feathers. In order to command the highest price eggs should be gathered and delivered promptly. Any that are soiled should be washed, and the entire lot sorted and packed, according td size and color. The large white eggs aqd the large brown eggs by themselves, while the small eggs should be in class No. 2. Consumers will gladly pay a premium for eggs that have an inviting appearance. In addition to the treatment of the eggs the case should be clean and the card board fillings should be new. Eggs should never be packed in boxes or barrels, no matter how short the distance to market. If private customers are supplied, small cases holding from one to dozen. eggs should be used. They cost bus little, and when emptied can be gathered up and used again.—Home and Farm.

FOWLS KILL INSECT FOES. Mature fowls cannot be liberated In gardens without much danger of their doing more injury than good to the plants. But if they are allowed to follow the plow and cultivator when these implements are in use, they will pick up and unearth many grubs, beetles, grasshoppers, cutworms and earthworms, most of which are injurious to the gardens. Hens will do little, if any harm among field crops when following the cultivator. Where native birds are scarce, little chicks kept in the garden, with the old hens confined in coops, will largely take the place of other birds by eat Ing most of the smaller Insects within their reach. THE CALF. It is claimed that it required eleven pounds of milk to make one pound of gain on the calf, or about five quarts of milk. This amount is not worth over fifteen cents by the can in some sections. The milk may be skimmed, however, the fat removed being replaced by flaxseed meal, which reduces the cost of the milk. Aa the calf will not be fed on milk longer than weanlng-tlme, there is probably as much profit in feeding milk to a good calf'as in selling it by the can. This cost should be considered in the matter of raising the calf as a future cow. It Is not alyvays the better plan to sell the cfflves off too early.

Laugh.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh la bettar than medicine. Learn how to tell a •tory. A well-told Btory Is as welcome as a sunbeam In a sick room. Leant to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world Is too busy to care for your Ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under a pleasant smile. No one cares to hear whether you have an earache, headache or rheumatism. Don’t cry. Tears do well enough In novels, but they are out of place In real life. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. The good-humored man or woman Is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac Is not wanted anywhere, and la a nuisance as well.

New Bedford, Mass., March 2.—At 669 First street, this city, lives a very happy man. Ills name Is Ulrlc Levasseur and he certainly has good reason to feel glad and proud. Mr. Levasseur has been sick for a lohg time with general weakness and a sore pain In liis back. At the last he got so very bad that he could not walk without great misery. Now ho Is well and in speaking of this wonderful change In him he says: “I believe it to be my duty to tell everybody how I was cured. I was so weak that I could not stoop, In fact, I was unable to walk without great pain. I began taking Dodd’s Kidney Pills And after a two months’ treatment I am well and sound again. “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a God-sent remedy. I will always praise them for their wonderful cure of my case. They cured me through and through. 1 am ai strong and able a man now as I ever was.”

Thousands of Americans far Westorn Canada.

“There will be thousands of Americans coming up here In the spring,” was the remark made by a fanner from the vicinity of Langdon, North Dakota, when he arrived In Winnipeg, Manitoba, the capital of Western Canada, a few days since. He was the advance guard of a large body who are following him, and he has already Invested In several farming sections for himself and others and purposes to take up his permanent abode in this country. He went on to say; “Hundreds are coming from my district alone. I know this to be a fact, for many of them are neighbors of mine. The chief topic of conversation with the farmers Is the coming Immigration In the spring.” “The impression general In the part of Dakota where 1 live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more a bushel for wheat on the American side of the line than on the Canadian hAS not prevented people from turning their eyes to Canada as a place to live In. They know they can get land In this country which Is every bit as fertile as that In Dakota at about one-quarter the price. It is safe to say that the exodus from Dakota Into Canada this year will exceed the expectations of all Canadians.” The Government has established agencies at St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, Ill.)
