A W0NDKR1TL COTTON PLANT. j<
A Kpartnnbnrg Farmer Raisins Collon I

- iAuws comes rroiu sparianourg or ]
h new cotton plant, which, if it is as (
claimed, will make a wonderful rovo* 1
lution in the agricultural and cotton ]
<dl interests of the nation. T. Fer- i
guson, an experienced cotton planter,
claims to have a cotton plant I
which will produce nothing but cot- t
ton seed without the lint. His state- <
H niont is briefly as follows: 1
Ho claims that there is a male cot- 1
ton\plant?the male boing designa- '
ted, 1?e thinks, by the red calks. The s
^ seeds are vavi-colored, the similes bo- <
ini* generally blue, green and white, ?
hi. I of course cai not be distinctly '
sp- i iliod. Given this fact, Ferguson <
Cf-nii?enced, some time ago, to pick <
o the male plants, and with the seed <
ex -eiited from them planted another
pi! !i separately. When , the crop '
w?s ready for picking the male plants
we: again selected and tlio produc- '
tio:iff seeds planted separately again. '>
Thi- process of selecting the male <
plants was kept up until at last the !
lii- refused to germinate, and noth- i
ii!i? is left in the bolls save a large ]
an Mint of seed, The^seed contain- 1
oil i.. tlio bolls is more than equal to '
the weight of lint and seed found in 1
the average sized boll of cotton. ]
Fer?nison cla nis that ho cum tirodneo '
four hundred bushels of seed to the
acre by this new discovery, where 1
i nly thirty-five bushels are now gath- '
ored with the lint. Ho has been very i
careful in producing the result giv&n!
above--to obliterate all vestige of 1
lint from a boll of cotton?and has '
succeeded in a most remarkable man- 1
nor. Other experienced planters 1
have been shown Ferguson's new dis- i
ooverv and are much struck with it. '
An expert who was shown the 1
plant and bolls said tlte boll has the '
appearance, both on the exterior and 1
the interior, of a regular boll of cot- 1
ton after the lint has been picked out. '
The seed are u little larger than the '
common seed and aro perfectly free ]
from any semblance of lint. The
bolls aro filled with these seed, which
aro us numerous as ochru seed in a I
pod of ochra. The revolution that 1
will be effected by this new cotton 1
piant, u it can ho cultivated success-, '
fully, will be beyond calculation. If I
Ferguson's calculations are correct, '
the cotton oil business will bo entire- 1
ly revolutionized. The planters who <
now raise cotton arc fortunate if thev 1
can make 200 pounds of lint cotton t
to the acre. Counting tho value of ]
cotton'seed af $50 an acre is consid- (
ered a big return to planters in this
State. Ferguson claims that his now <
cotton seed plant will yield at least 1
$90 an acre. This amount ho says 1
will be obtained from 400 bushels of t
cotton seed at twanty cents per bush- i
el,* that being tho present price <
paid for the raw seed. The State '
agricultural bureau will investigate the
matter. j

What is Overloading a Horse, and How i
Proved? I
i
The following taken from "His- j
/ioj> on Statutory Crimei"?edition (
of 1873, Page 089?is believed to be
sound law, the world over, on the
above subject.
It was written by Mr. Angel, in reviewing
a decision of a Massachusetts
Court in 1808 that there was
no cruelty because other horses of
the same weight were able to draw
the load in question. It was the
first and last decision of the kind
ever rendered in Massachusetts"Must
an animal be worked until
he breaks a bhJrtd vessel or drnna -
(load, before the law takes cogniz
ance? Ts the horse to be strained, *
or worked to the extreme limit of '
hi* strength, before such straining \
or working becomes a cruelty (that t
is, before the act of his master be- t
comes 'overloading?') Can an ex- c
pert, or myjiberof experts, say what *
^ is the limit cf strength or endurance j
of any horse, simply by knowing his <
weight? Jt seems to me that these ?
questions can be easily answered, i
Horses, like men, are of different *
ages, constitutions, temperaments,
formation and degrees of strength, j
One horse, just liko one . man, may ;
be twice as fast, twice as tough, t
Kraft twice as strong, as another of pre- '
' T.V 'k?v
3~~~c
wisely the same weight; aiul inus-j
much as horses, like men, are liable[
to ft great variety of sicknesses, and
mffer, just like men, from previous
net working and from heat, want of ,f
proper rest, food, water, shelter and v
?arc, it foliows that the same horse, t(
fike the same man, may be able to 1
perform without injury more labor ('
in one day than another. j ^
"Can a thousand experts prove 1'
that all men of a given weight or i?
size are equally competent, on every f
lay of the year, to perform a given
labor? Can their testimony estab- ()
lish how much load a man of given s
weight should carry, and how far he 1
should carry it on a given day, with- ,!
)ut regard to whether the man is 11
jld or young, sick or well, strong or ^
weak, tough or tender, already tired '
;>r rested, full-fed or starved, or the 6
lay hot or cold? And does not pre- H
3isely the same reason apply to the I
horse,?t hat what one horse can do *
[>ne day has no force in showincr 1
what another ought. t? do on another
lay, unless you show the weather, 11
ige, strength, toughness and bodily '
condition of the two to be precisely 1
similar? I say, then, that it is just ?
impossible for any number of ex- *
ports, knowing only the weight or
iize of a horse and nothing of his 0
ige, health, strength, toughness and e
bodily condition, to establish what 11
is, or is not, overloading him, as it c
would be, knowing only the size or
weight of a man and nothing of his 1
ige, health, strength, toughness or 11
bodily condition, to establish what
is or is not an overload for him.
"How, then, are We to (leter mi no
when a horse is overloaded? .lust M
exactly and precisely as we determine 1
when a man is overloaded. First, 0
we are to take his own evidence. If 0
i man stops and saws, "I am over- v
loaded, I am working too hard, 1 ^
Feel that the task put upon me is 1
too heavy,"" that is evidence. So e
when the horse, ordinarily kind and 0
willing to^mll, comes with a heavy 3
load to a rise of land and, after one 8
ar two efforts, stops and says, as 1
plainly as he can speak it, "I am a
overloaded, I am working too hard, ri
1 feel that the task put upon me is ?
too heavy," that is evidence; and a
there is no court or jury, or man c
with the heart of a man, who will
not recognize it as such. Besides, a
the signs of overwork are just as r
visible in the horse as the man. No s
magistrate or juror would have any *
lifliculty in deciding in his own t!
mind whether a case to which his ^
ittontion might be attracted in our t
public streets was or was not a case 8
of cruelty. ^
"Is not, then, the testimony of I
jonipetent, intelligent and credible *
nystauders, who see how the horse ^
looks and acts, and his" bodily condi- 0
;ion, health, and capability to per- ?
form the labor required, the best 0
ividence that can possibly be oh v
tained? Where can you get better?
And when disinterested and intelligent
witnesses, who are present and v
ice and hear all that is said and done v
n a given case, voluntarily leave v*
dieir ordinary avocations and come it
nto court to testify that they are c
fully satisfied that the case is a clear a
lose of cruelty, can such evidence s?
jo overbalanced by any number of j<
sxperts who are not present, sec I
lothing that occurs, know nothing n
>f the agc^healtl^, strength, or bodi- o
y condition of the horse at the time, n
ind who base their calculations-eini- p,
ily upon the avoirdupois weight of ^
die animal? It is perfectly evident, f)
hen, I say, that the highest and t)
jest evidence which any court or jury
>an ask or possibly obtain in a case t|
rf overloading, overworking, or over- a
lriving, is the evidence of the horse j(
limself, as interpreted by t.hose*pre- t|
lent when the cruelty is indicted. j,

Why Thry Leavr. ! t
Home and Farm. 1 I
Why do our hoys leave the farm?
i n question that is often asked and
nriously answered. Without at-1
umpting to notice the many reasons ,
Imt are assigned for tho aversion and
. 1
isnster which most country hoys ,
ave for the farm, 1 wauld like to ex*! ,
iress the views of a young farmer,
tie who was horn and raised on the 1 j
arm, and who was often tempted to ' ,
oave the farm for some other callintr'
1
r profession. One of the lirt rea- |i
ons for his aversion to the farm is j,
he pessimistic view of farming-Unit ,
i usually held hy his father and
eighbors. Is it not a remarkable j
act that while the physician, the L
awyer, the merchant, the mechanic, J |
te., always choose their life work ,
nd prepare themselves for a special
mrsuit, that the vast majority of our' |
armers are not farmers by choice, i ,
I
nit hy accident or circumstances?
This one grand reason why our far- ^
ners fail. They are not farmers
rom choice, but by circumstance. (
sow, to be successful, we must lion- |
r our callintf. Kverv farmer omrht
c~y / n
rj be able to say that he had rather
10 n farmer than anything else Kany
a physician a success who consid-j
rs his profession dog's work; vet
lost of our farmers, belittle their
ailing, grumble from one year's end
o another, and then wonder why
heir boys leave the farm for the
own or city.
Another reason why the farmer's
on is prone to leave the farm is the
ono of the school books, biographies
ewspapers and magazines of the
iresont day. In a word, they are
duoatod to leave the farm. Take
>ur schools readers and there you
.'ill find sketches of merchants, lawers,
military men, artists and nuliors,
but, so far as I have soon, novr
a sketch of a farmer. Examine a
atalogue of library books, and there
ou will find biographies with titles;
otnewhat like this: "Log Cabin to L
he Whito House." ''Country Boy i
nd Merchant Prince," indeed, biogaphios
of lawyers, merchants, haulers,
maclrnists and inventors, etc.,? .
nybody and everybody but an agriulturist.
I .
The same is true of our magazines |
nd newspapers. TCven so called agicultural
journals are guilty of the .
ame practice. Now why is it so? ,
Ire there no farmers worthy of imi- ]
ition? Most assuredly they are. ,
Vhat would bo more entertaining ,
han a well written and truthful
ketch of Daniel Dickenson, Parish |
'uman, Dr. M. W. Philips, Capt. (
'cterkin, Jeff VVelborn, or "'Steele's ,
Uyou," and many others? Will not .
fame and Farm publish biographi- '
al sketches of some of our most pro- ,
ressive farmers and stockmen? Not |
nly would it be a big hit, but it l
rould do much to keep the hoys on
lie farm.
Want of society is another reason
diy young people leave the farm. It
rould do much good if the farmers
rould pay more attention to social
lattors. A want of social interourse
on the part of farinors is habit
nd not necessity. There is no realm
why the farmer should not enay
social as much as the townsman,
11 fact I think (I do not know, for I
ever lived in town), that his social
pportunities are hotter. It is true
luch of his time is spent in the
eld, but not more than the clerk or
ictory operative spends in tho store
r factory, and his vacation is cerlinly
longer.
On the other hand the Alliance,
*10 Grange and farmers' Club afford
IIIIiIh ?<ir>in 1 niwl nn.i.tnl
I
nprovement. J f there is not one of i
irese organizations in your neigh- f
orhood start one immediately. The
'armors' Alliance is u very popular j
rganizut'on ;n the South; it takes.'
lembors as young as tho ago of 10. t
'ake your hoys and girls into the t
Jliance, take them to farmers' insti- ,
itrg, agricultural meetings, etc. ,
let them interested, show thorn there
i something about farming besides *
loughing and hoeing. GW# them a >
iat of ground to cultivate as their . (
wn, and let them have the proceeds.
Incourage them to take and read:
o;ricultural journals. Teach them 1
iat farming is just as dignified and I
onorable as any other vocation. ,

Mackey Holmes, describod by porlons
who have fro<j\?ontly seen him
i? u typical puro blooded American,
tvas kiIloil last Monday at Sweetwater,
Washington County, says the ;
Vicksburg Cominercidl Herald, in a
brawl brought about, it is said, by
the jelousy of a local merchant, whose
persons were being attracted from
his store by an exhibition of Holme's
peculiar accomplishments, which consisted
solely in his ability to swallo.v
with impuiyty or pleasure articles j
that would bo dangerous or repulsive j
to an ordinary stomach. In the squabbio
Holmes received a fatal shot from
K>mo unknown person, and the steainur
Sunbeam, on her down trip, brought
his body to Mr. Henry L, Mayer's1
plantation, in Issaquena County, for
interment, since his family resided
there.
Holme's appetite for tacks and
>ther pointed hardware was tomnrkab'.e;
but if he doted upon anything
t was soda water bottles, although
he never turned away from glass articles,
and had a well-developed tns'e
for-10 rod w hiskey. I pen occasions,

that on tho following day his hill of

i familiar object on tho streets.
The jroroo of tho community rose j
it this and Holmes was ordered to
leave uio town at once. It docs.not
ippear that he had any aversion 10

Washington, Nov. 10.- Special:
Tlio Republicans are still busily en-!
gaged in the attempt to prove that
the result of the recent elections
should not be charged against the
Harrison Administration. The reported
indifTerenco of the President
regarding the result is not borne out
by the experience of a Western Senator
who made an untimely visit to
the Executive Mansion last 'I hursday.
The good-natured Senator can generally
make things cheerful by his
presence, no matter how much gloom
is scattered about, but on this occa-,
sion it was different. I 'nsuspecting
the state of mind of the President the
Senator, after the usual courtesies,
said: "Mr. President, I called upon
you to-day to see if you would act !
favorably in C{uenther's case and J
make him consul general at Havana.*'|
The (juenther referred to is the Herman-American

[ilied: "It does not seem to mo that

This was tho first intimation Sena- j
tor Sawyer had that tho President's
usual complacency was disturbed.
Ho appreciated the circumstances
and undertook to smooth down mat- |
tors for his friend Guonthor. All
that he said scorned to irritate tho
President, and the Senator began to
get riled himself. Finally* tho President
intimated that ho preferred to I
talk tho matter over at another time,!
and the manner in which ho convoy-j
oil tho suggestion indicated that he
wouldn't care if tho Senator never
called up Guenthor's caso again*
The Senator left the White House
smoking hot, and lie was hot clear

related tho episodo to one or two

"Aron't you going to pray with mo?"

with you again and again, and you j
got drunk just as much as ever."
"W'oll," sail 1 the man, "if you won't

The principle of heredity Ims received
a most striking illustration in
the case of the family and kinsmen of
ex-President Theodore Dwioht WoolO
sey, of Yalo college. |)r. Woolsey
was a descendant of .lames Pierrepout,
tho famous native of Poxbury,
who havintr become dissatisfied with
n
the liberal tendencies of Harvard col- ,
lego, induced Klihu Yale to found a I
more conservative school at Now I la- j
ven. The present president of Yule, I
Timothy Dwight, is also a descendant
of the same founder, and with
tho histoiiosof the families of Dwight
is interwoven that of the families of
Edwards and Pierrepont., who havo
given many illustrious names to
American history and letters. It is
no mere coincidence that both Woolsoy
and Dwight, Nineteenth century
presidents of Yale, should both have
been groat-great-grand-sons of the
principal founder of the college; for
tho "high thinking and plain living
of tho early families who wore closely
associated with tho institution, developing
itself into a horoditary impetus
or ability, was quito likely to1
supply the qualities needed in future
