We never fail to get a good stand of rutabagga turnips, nor do we fail to make a good crop any year. Rutabaggas are good feed for cows, hogs, horses and people, and a fair crop of 800 bushels to the acre, can be grown moat any year. We fed our bin: feed of last year's turnipB this year May 10th when our spring tur nips were ready and full grown. Commence now by ploughing and thoroughly pulverizing a good piece of stubble laud. After you have the land in good condition put on all the manure or fertilizer intended for this crop and plough it in with small turn plow or disc harrow. It is very im portant to have the land well pulver ized and smooth; paok it down well with roller or some kind of board or poll drag. You Bhould rnn a cultivator or disc over this every 10 days or less time, following it with roller or drag. This roller or drag brings the moisture up near the surface in dry weather and keens it there. About the 15th of August work oil' rows 18 to 20 indien wide, put in seed in this trench and cover by running a wheelbarrow in the trench. You can cultivate moisture into the land and not have to wait for rain to get a good stand of Rutabaggas. Be Charitable. Hold up there, all ye faithful that have held out to the end should now be charitable to those who have broke the faith and sold their cotton for 7i cents or even at 8} cents, for these mis guided, unfaithful brethren appreciate their loss and are feeling bad enough about it. Do not abuse these weak brethren for not using better faith and judgment, when they really did not ?ave any better faith or judgment to use. These unfortunate brethren di d, beyond doubt, the very best they could for themselves as they saw it, but the worst feature about it is that these follows were too selfish. They did not take broad enough vie w about this matter; they never once took in con sideration the fact that the counsel of a body of our wisest and best men are worth more than the counsel of one man, or that two heads ia better than one, if one ia a sheep's head. Some of these cotton growers were frightened into selling because they did not possess the grit and good judgment to resist the bluff and deceptive, lying schemes of the cotton bears, while another claaa of cotton growers were forced to take what was offered be cause they had no safe and cheap storehouses to place their cotton in that they might hold it off the market as a collateral until prices were profit able. How long will it be until each and every cotton (-rower is cognizant of the fact that each and every cotton grower?loth small and large alike? are interested in the welfare of each other as to the price of cotton'/ How long will it take the indepen dent cotton grower to appreciate the faot that he suffers loss by the unbusi nesslike methods of his lens fortunate neighbors in selling their cottonT How long will it be until the truth of the situation comes home to the more independent'business class of cotton growers that if ever theoe less fortunate, unthoughtful neighbors of theirs gain knowledge of how to do better for themselves chat the men in possession of theso factB must teach it to those who have it not? Remember, that unto thoso to whom much has been given much is expect ed. Use your talents for good ami the good wiU grow in you. How long will it be until the truth in tuis matter can bo driven into the minds of the prejudiced cluss of far mers, that thee- organized efforts among farmers does mean that wo are all in it for tho money and prolits there is in it for each and every one of us? But we are not in it to make this money off of the farmer, but we are in it to make money by demanding an equitable profit for our labor and thu? protect and retain that which by right already belongs to us. How long will it take our best men to recall too lessons of tboir youth that a fence is just so strong as il? weakest place, and that if one-half the cotton growers act tho fool in sell ing their cotton that all cotton grow ers suffer as though we were all fools? If you expect a man to cut wood for you and this man has no axe you will have to furnish the axe or the wood cannot be cat. So it is about soiling cotton. If evor these unfortunate Jiroducers that are mines of good udgment and business qualifications become tho possessors of this impor tant information the farmers that have it must carry it to thoBe that have it not. ? A storo belonging to John L. Bain in the mill district in Dillon was burned. It is thought that the fire was sot by one of his customers who was angered by what Bain called his "dog list" whioh he posted on his store door of those who would not pay him on pay day. ? An examination shows that Ben jamin H Gaskill, a broker, who died four weeks ago, had swindled Phila delphia banks out of nearly a million dollars by forged papers. The reve lation produced a big sensation, as he was supposed to be wealthy and honest. ? One hundred and fourteen of the men who fought in the war with Mexico met in Dallas reoently. Many of these are men of considerable dis tinction, and practically all of them have lived on this earth for much longer than the time usually allotted to men. Probably 75 per cent of them are far past the three-score and ten mark. Although all show tho effects of age, they still givo evidenoe of the virility of the manhood of this coun try at the time they were in their prime. Some of them are giants in size; few of them require the support of a cane, and only one or two use crutches. Annual Meeting of Foreign Missionary Society.
