Sensible Letter from a Sensible Mac.
Eds. Lim Stock Journal: E. M. is
co.ireot when he says "that Southern
farmers try to cultivate too much land,
that they don'i ditch tbeir farms, raise
no stock," etc., in fact he produces
quite an array of "reasons*' why the
farm does not pay. One would suppose
that we have certainly neglected
every essential to successful fanning,
and strangers will wonder how we
have managed to live on the farm,
tinder such circumstances, and really
it is a matter of wonder. To be plain,
ive arc .farming upon what is comttionly
called "luck," and our crops are
dependent upon quite an array of "ifs."
If the seasons are exactly right, if this
or that contingency does not occur,
our crop will be a large and profitable
one. It is fortunate for us, that our
soil and climate are so favorable to
just snch chance farming that we-will
not miss making average crops once in
several years, and with this the majority
are satisfied; if we propose to cona

we have tenSScres or ten thousand, jusf
so we can manage to work it over on^e
or twice. Cotton -Is a hardy plant in
one sense o? the word, for it is difficult
to kill under the roughest usage, and
if the weeds and grass are kept down,
it will thrive under many other difficulties
and give a yield; it is like the
cockle burr, it will" make seed in spite
of rough treatment. Now it is well
known that the majority of Southern
> farmers are in debt, and if they continue
to hazard their property by
chance farming, M&fcy are likely io die
in debt. No man has anv business
with more land than he can make pay,
ami if this should be the actual fact it
must be true then that Southern farmers
are made poor by keeping more
land than they are able to make profitable,
it has been frequently demonstrated
that one hundred acres can be
made to produce as much as two hundred
produce on an average Southern
farm; is ii not folly to cultivate
200 when 100 can be made to produce
just as much, and at a greatly reduced
cost? One hundred acres, well drained,
o?/l wall Aon i
?Y tn luaiiuibu) uiiu n vti vuur>?*auj vv?ii
be made more profitable than five
hundred half cultivated. Why not
save the vast difference in cost "and at
the same time obtain just as much
yield? I know it can be done; a test
will prove it. It follows tl>eii that if
200 bales of cotton made on two hundred
acres cost 8 cents per pound to
produce, then 200 bales on 100 acres
will cost not more than i>h or G cents,
leaving handsome profits to the pro
uuuer* wyp uu nut yu)t
and it should be the fanner's aim to
exceed any established standard of
yield, to beat the. best record;.if he
does this he must resort to science and
the best kind of common sense. We i
need intensive farming, not the extensive?and
when we get down to this,
the profits will be quite sure to be all
right. Drainage is as important to the
crop as the cultivation?without one
the other is useless?no crop that we

Horses are also useful fordoing all the
work and for contributing to the cornpost
heaps. liogs, poultry, etc., are
absolutely necessary to a well regulated
farm?and were can we find a country
better suited to all these than our
own State? In regard to the various
crops, peas, etc.," as soiling crops, I beg
to differ with E. M. as to the advisability
of plowing while green. Xy
advice to all in hot climates to not
practice it, it is far better to allow the
crop to remain until the spring plowing
and then turn under?there is a
vast difference in the results. Let the
skeptical try the two plans and be
converted. Ify plan is the easiest and
costs less, save plowing, and the vegetable
njatter is in a more available
condition for ttie crops, i vc tried
both and retain the latter. I believe
the intensive system of fanning is fast
gaining" favor in the South and will
soon be the rule. When this is a fact,
our farmers will be the best fed and
ciothcd; with more comfortable stir-1
ronndings than any other class, asd it
will not" be necessary to debate the
question with our sons to convince "
them to begin where we leave off?

' Oats, Wheat and Hay. -
That we have just passed through
one of the most trying periods in the
history of our country no one will
deny. Since the interruption caused
by the results of the late war agricultural
"interest? have, 'perhaps, within'
the past twenty years never been so
much depressed. The unfavorable
seasons in 1883, followed by the almost
unprecedented drought of the past
year, hastened to the embarrassment
of all classes of industry. The indebtedness
of the country?the South especially?forcod
the sale of the cOtton
crop as rapidly as it could be gathered,
generally. Tliis caused, possibly, the
gradual decline in the pricc of this
commodity. When the bulk of the
crop had been sold the planter realized
frequently that the current expenses of
the year had not been met. Disappointment
and dissatisfaction were
visible evervwlmre. "We found men
of both i-aces endeavoring to devise1
means to better their condition. Some ;
are seeking homes in other States and
in new couutries where the soil is rich
and where provisions are cheap. Others
are preparing to retrieve the losses
of the past unfavorable seasons by
remaining and economizing to the . last
degree in order to liquidate past indebtedness
and make a comuetenee for
themselves as famines in their native
land. This is both right and honorable
and is to be commendcd always.

why we think not.

that are of prime importance for home
consumption and which have to be

You a'fek "how can I buy provisions
and guano unless Lraisecotton?"' Each
planter should sow enough oats, if he
has not already done so, .to feed the
work stock for half of tne year and
enough ill addition to supply himself
with seed lor sowing another crop and
a few bushels over^for poultry, sheep
ami ..hogs. Five acres of fair land
sown in the fall early enough to secure
a good stand before winter sets in, with
twenty-five bushels ot cotton seed per
acre sown with the seed and turned in
on the same land, would insure under
ordinary circumstances enough for
each head of work stock and a small
surplus for other purposes. The red
rust-proof oat is the best variety to*
30w for general purposes. The Burt
?s said to be earlier by some ten days
or two weeks. This" variety grows
later and perhaps makes more forage
on thin soils, but the stalk is more
woody than the red oat and is said not
to equal the yield of the latter. In the
spring?in March or April?top-dress

and run a smoothing harrow to level
the soil and cut down the clods, etc.
This operation cultivates ther grain and
leaves a level surface so that good harvesting
can be done by hand and
machine.
A liberal area should have been devoted
to the wheat crop. It is very
difficult to tell when one has sown

have" more than barely a supply for
bread. Wheat is said to be profitable
for stock and poultry," even if it cost
as much as two dollars per bushel. It
comes nearest to supplying all the fat
producing elements of an> of the
known grains. Wheat should be treated
somewhat differently from oats.
The latter maybe sown before a twohorse
plow and turn off a good crop.
But wheat should not be sown deeper
than two inches. Two reasons warrant
this conclusion. One is that at
this depth germination is more perfect
and secures a better stand. The other
"is that shallower than two inches loss
of seed arises from surface'exposure,
and deeper than this the alternate
freezing and thawing in winter breaks
the tap root anil the plant perishes.
When two inches be tow the surface the
plant rises with each freeze of a greater
depth and when a thaw follows the
plant falls back without rupturing
many of the roots and remains in au
unbroken mat or mass. A freeze less
than two inches -will not affect it
greatly. It should not be sown before
a killing frost occurrs. Although a
hardy plant and not usually winter

may cause it to head too early and the
late spring frosts damage or destroy it.
The red oat is not supposed to be injured
by a freeze in* the spring even if
in the "boot". On light land wheat
may be put in with a cultivator without
breaking the land otherwise. Experience
goes to show that if light
land be sown to wheat and well broken
before sowing that the roots penetrate
too far and are broken by freezes in
excessive weather. From this we
learn that heavy or stiff lauds only
need thorough breaking and the wheat
seed and whatever fertilizers are used
should be sown together and covered
iu at Hit* uc[Jiw, auuui iwu m?juco. ]
If a large yield be desired regardless
of cost manures may be applied when
the breaking is done, but it is important
that the germ be near the fertilizers
and not above or below it, in
order that the roofs may spread before
winter sets in. In spring top-dress if
possible, and run a harrow* to cultivate
the surface about the plants. Nitre is
on. of the best fertilizers for wheat,
and some writer asserts that one bar
rowing1 in the spring is equal to five
pounds of nitre per acre. Wheat may
be harrowed and rolled in the fall
when sown, with good results, and
differs in this respect from the oat
plant in most lands. After harrowing
and rolling an oat crop in the fall it
will most likely be a defective stand
a small yield at harvest, because
Hie smooth plane which the surface of
the land presents to rbe cold winds of.
of winter pcrmlts~an exposure which i
kills the plant. Wheat is largely sown
in an civinzea ceutunes ana nas come
to be a badge of civilization. All crops
of oars and wheat should be cultivated
by nsing a smoothing harrow after
cold weather lias passed. It pays in
the yield and allows the grain to be
better saved; and a horse rake may be
used to gather the gteaniugs more perfectly
behind ihe reapers if done by
hand and t.he field cannot be pastured.
Now with tbn oat and wheat crop

A NIGHT SCENE IN NEW YORK.
Burning of a Btg Factory in a Tenement
Neighborhood?Hundreds of Poor People
Driven Nearly Naked from their Homes.
The vast furniture factory of II.
Herman Bros., at the corner of iiangin
and Tompkins streets, New York, was
discovered to be on fire at 3.30 o'clock
mi T*.
Oil xiiur5Uay jlw 10 a uvcstory
brick building and occupies the
whole block,-fronting 200 feet on
Delancy and 150 feet on other streets.
It was an old building, formerly occupied
by the Singer Sewing Machine
factory and was saturated with oil,
and the building is surrounded by
miserable tenement houses occupied
by the poorest classes in the city. The
fire was intensely hot, ai)d nearly one
hundred families were driven from
their homes. Thev rushed out in their
night clothes and were compelled to
camp on the river side where they
shivered in the chilly winds of the
morning. At 4 o'clock the whole
building was in flames'and there was
no hope of saving any of the property,
and the firemen directed their efforts
to make the miserable people as comfortable
as possible. At 4.3U alarms
were sent out for extra engiues, and it
looked as though the whole surrounding
neighborhood would be destroyed.
At 5 o'clock the alarms were still beinsr
sent out for extra engines. The reason
the flames spread so rapidly was
on account of the oil in the floors. The
factory was filled with furniture and
it is estimated that the loss will amount
to more than .$1,000,000. This is the
busy season of the year and the loss
will be still heavier for the company
on thaf nneoimt. Over 500 men will
be thrown out of work. The streets
at 5.30 a. in. were crowded with people
and .the greatest excitement prevailed
in the neighborhood, as everybody
in the surrounding tenement
houses was moving furniture and seeking
to escape from the flames which
were fast spreading in all directions.
Superintendent Pinnon of the factory
said it was impossible to say
where the fire originated, but it was
believed that it had started in the engine-room.
At 5.30 a. m. special calls for extra
engines were still being sent ont, and
it was estimated that the loss would
amount to $1,500,000.
Although all the available force of
the fire department was summoned, it
was two hours before the flames were
fairly*tinder control. The factory, a
five-story brick building, is a total loss.
Mr. Herman estimates his loss at about
$250,000, which is covered by insurance
in a lartre number of comoanios. The
loss on the building, that is owned by
an estate, he estimated at near $300,000.
This, too, is covered to a large
extent bv insurance. Five hundred
skiHed workmen were employed in the
factory and Jose all their tools, the
aggregate value of which is about $20,000,
and on these there are only scattered
sums of insurance.
A JfEGRO'S INGF.NIOCS PLEA.
Why He Thought He was Entitled to Some
r- Stolen Money.
Three year? ago Zeb Parker, a negro
robbed the store of C. L. Smathers, at
Pigeon Valley, Haywood cuuntv,
N. C.j of $1,500 in money, nearly all
of that amount being in silver. -Parker
was caught and convicted, and sentenced
to tnirtv months' imprisonment
at hard labor. It was know that

unsuccessful efforts were made to induce
him to disclose its hiding' place.
He was taken to the Western North
Carolina and has worked out his sentence.
riis term expired two weeks
ago. When he was discharged Mr.
Smathers shadowed, and, after being
home*a week, he was followed into a
mountain, where he was seen to take
cnmMhincr nnrlf?r o lfircrf mr.t_
He wag arrested and searched, and
$25 UTsilver was found on his person,
and the remainder of the money was
found under the rock. Parker insisted
that, because of his imprisonment,
the money belonged to him, and
cited' the ease of a negro who, while
going to be baptized, stole an axe and
hid it in the sand,gaud, after baptism,
said his sins were forgiven and the
axe washis property. Smathers took
the monev and Parker has left the
neighborhood.

church, pickets posted and scouts sent
?at to reconnoiter the situation, after
which the command retired for the
night with blissful expectations for the
morrow. Some hours before daylight
the bugle sounded "to horse,*' and the
troops knew that something was up.
Just as day dawned the charge was
sounded, and the front regiment dashed
ahead upon the enemy's vidette and
into the caino of the sleeDinr Federals.
Shadborna and jiis-baud of scouts at the
head.
The vidette fired his piece, awakened
his comrades, and a wild scene ensued?shot
flew thick and fast andr
many gallant men and officers fell on
botli sides; but there was not time to
parley \vi:h death or sentiment, and
with a. passing sigh for the brave fellows
who had fallen all around them,
the remainder of the troops dashed on
to the desired goal. The bewildered
cattle, thus suddenly deserted by. their
Federal protectors, looked wildly at
the "grey coats," by whom they were
surrounded, and for whose rapi?-consumption
they were destined. Soon
the commissary and sutler.stores were
invaded, and men who for months had
contented themselves with corn-cob
pipes now indulged in choice cigars
and drank toasts in fine liquors, congratulating
each other that their tastes
had not been vitiated by "apple-jack*'
and "corn whiskey." Blankets, butter,
cheese, shoes, coffee, tea, sugar
and everything that could be transported
were laid siege to by the half
tainishea solaiers, wno religiously
prayed for more capacity.
After the camp had been thoroughly
ransacked, Hampton ordered Generals
Rosser, Dearing and W. F. H.
Lee to collect the men and return.
The battalion of Virginia cavalry was
in advance, commanded by Colonel
White. Then followed Dearing and
Rosser, while far in the rear as a guard
came w. Jb . n. J.ee witn ms uivision.
They were jogging leisurely along,
with visions of roast beef, tenderloin
and porterhouse steaks darting throngh
their brains, when suddenly a courier,
covered with dustr rushed in the lines
and announced that the Virginians
1 had met the enemy oh the Jerusalem,
turnpike road and needed reinforcements,
as the Federals outnumbered
them considerably. Spurs were dashed
into the horses' sides, and soon the
wild yell announced that the troops
commanded by General Rosser had
made a charge. Before the echo of
this yell died out another couaier, with
foam-covered steed, met General
Hampton, who was spurring with all
speed to the scene of action, and infrvrmo^
him that fj^n^ral "Rnsspr h?d

Postmaster-General Viiaa has requested
the resignation of J. L. Meade
who was recently appointed.postmaster
at Haselhurst, Copiah county, Miss.
The resignation of Meade was called
for on the ground that the "interests
of the public service required it," bnt
the explanation ol the- postmastergeneral
is that since the appointment,
of Meade it has coine to the knowledge

Why He Refused a Pension. '
A few days ago a New York peu- j

pled with Snyder's story it was related "
at the pension office that other patriots !
had similarly relieved the public treas- 1

recovered from their disabilities. It '
now appears that Spyder is insane and
irresponsible and that his pension was
granted on that account and consequently

He did not state the cause of his disa- ;

A dispatch from Santa Fe, dated
May 27,says:
' Last Saturday Anaches killed two
men at the Cantwell and Pcterie ranch
on the Gila River, and on Sunday!
afternoon they killed Charles Stevenson,
foreman of Albany and Ingerson's
ranche, and Harvey Moreland, son of
James Moreland, living between Grafton
and Fairview. The bodies were
found six miles noth of Grafton.
When discovered they were still warm.
Moreland had been shot several limes
and, when found, was lying on his
back with an iron rod driven through.
his head into the ground. Frank
Adams, son of George Adams, a ranch
man, residing near pairview, is supposed
to have been killed also. His
hat was found near the bodies of
Stevenson and Moreland."
A special dispatch from Winslow,
Arizona, says:
."About one hundred and sixty Navajos,
Utes and Piutes, all thoroughly
armed and with war paint on, camped
uear Hardy's on Monday night. It is
reported that they arc making prepara
tions to join Geronimo's band of
Apaches. Later information from the
front indicates that the hostiles are on
Druraond Creek, northeast of Fort
Bayard, in the Black Mountains. Col.
Morrow and a number of scouts are in
that vicinity. Col. Biddle, with u battalion
of the Sixth cavalry, is near
Hillsboro, and Lieut. Davis,' with
sixty White Mountain Apache scouts,
is on the-trail of .the hpstiles."
A special from Demingr, Arizona, says
that thirty Indians passed near there
on luesday, heading for Mexico. Lavairy
are in close pfirsuit. Tire bodies
of five Americans who were killed by
Indians were found at Blue lliver on
Monday. The stage which runs between
Eagle and the Grafton Mining
Camp in the Black Range has not been
heard from, and it is thought it has
been captured by the Indians.
More News of the Trouble.
A report has reached Silver City,
New Mexico, that :i small detachment
of the 10th Cavalry encountered Chief
Geronimo and his band' of Apaches in
Cook's canon, through which the Indians
were endeavoring to escape to
Mexico. The hofetiles were driven
back with the loss of four killed* and
twice as many wounded. Two 1diers
were killed and eight wouu^tv .
Owing to the small number oi troops
the Iudians were not pursued. The
Apaches have been joined by a number
of Utes and Xavajos, and the band
is now composed of nearly 2o0 warriors.
The Indians retreated towards
Diamond Creek, where their women,
numbering nearly 100, preceded them.
Another special from Silver City
says that a dispatch from Fort Bayard
reports that the Indians are leaving
the reservation daily. The number of
Indians who have been killing whites
during the last ten days is said by
military authorities to be only 134?34

killed in "the Black Mountain country.
Outbreaks are expected frotn the Mescalar

4th Cavalry, who followed the Indians
from the reservation, passed through
bilver City Friday on his way to Fort
Bayard.
In the fight at Devil's Park Qne .Indian
was killed, one soldier and one
Indian were wound?d. Captain Smith
routed the Indians and captured 200
rounds of Government ammunition
and nine ponies. General Bradley,
who is at Fort Bayard, lias ordered
two troons of the 10th Cavalrv to uur
sue the Indians, who are reported to
be on the upper Gila River. Later
advices are to the effect that the Indians
were breaking up into small parties
and scattering throughout the country
in this direction from the Gila River.
A courier from Juniper Spring, ten
miles from Denver states that thirty
Indians, including squaws and children,
are camped there. One ranch
has been captured. A man from a
ranch near Negro Creek, four miles
from Denver reports fighting there.
One man and a child were killed and
one man wounded. Parties are organizing

CANDIDATES FCR 'EIGHTY-EIGHT.
Cleveland's Renomination and the Chances
of Blaine and Logan.
The friends of Blaine say the election
of Logan cannot advance his fortunes
as the Republican candidate in 1888 ;
that Logan cannot separate himself
from the old ticket, and that if he is a
candidate in a national campaign'again
it can only be as it was last year.
There is no doubt that the oiu ticKet
can be renominated. They taJk that
sort of tiling openly. A number of
the Western leaders haw been on here
paying visits in the line of this policy.
Mr. Medill, editor of the Chicago
Tribune, who .has been in Washing~
. J
ton lor a numocr 01 ciays, ana who
dined recently with Mr. Blaine, believes
in renominating tiie old ticket.
Charles Emory Smith, editor of the
Philadelphia Press, who was there two
or three days ago, is an ardent advo
cate of the old ticket. General Logan
is a candidate for the first place this
time and it is very imrrobable that he
will look with favor upon .the plan of
the Blaine people.
Among the Democrats the talk is all
of Mr. Cleveland. The friends of the
President expect to see him renominated
as a matter of course, and re-elected
withoul any trouble. Although
ine aaminisirauon is iu us m?i *cai
the politicians are very busy in talking
about the future. Senator Sherman
will not withdraw from the canvsss
for re-election. He does, not intend
to be a'candidate for the Governorship
this fall. The contest in Ohio
will mainly interest him through the
fact that the Legislature which will
elccta Senrtor is to be chosen this fall.

A THKILUSG SCE.\ Ji AX 5?A'.
The steamship City of ltome, which
arrived at Neve York last week-reports
that on May 25, at 4.30 p. in., during
a dense fog she collided with and sunk
the French fishing bark George John
which wjas lying at anchor. She res.
cued two of the crew, but the remain.
ing twenty .two were lost.
The bark was struck about ten feet
forward of the sterij on the starboard
side. She swung round and went
down by the side of the steamer within
one minute. The people of the City

men rushing forward on ihe bark, the
air was filled with their crios, shrill
exclamations of horror from the deck
of the steamer and the hoarse sound,
ing of the steamer's fog .horn, and then
the bark wenr. out of sight. A few
spars floated on the sea and four men
could be seen struggling in the water.
Life buoys were thrown to them, and
as soon possible the steamer was stop,

this time one of the four fishermen had I
sunk, two were clinging to buoys and
a third floated alongside the steamer,
supporting himself by a spar. A passenger
called out "I will give ?100 to
any one who will save that life." Two
boats were ,pulling for the men with
bmvs. The man ou the spar was
doubled up as though chilled by the
icv water. Several sailors prepared to
jump over the side, bntthey were prevented
by the fourth officer, Arthur C.
Turner, who rigged a rope around his
body, and taking another rope had
himself lowered to the man. Turner
succeeded in getting the loop about
the Frenchman's arm and neck. Strong
arms pulled him halfway up the side
of the boat when the loops slipped over
his head and he fell back into tiie water
and sank out of sight. This man who
came so near being saved, was the
captain of the George Jeanne, Joseph
Blondin.
Steerage passengers who landed
from the City of Home at Castle Garden
declared with one accord that the
steamer was making at least fourteen
knots an hour when the collision ocI
curred.
The bark was from Granville on the
coast of Normandv. She left Ffauce
for the banks ou March 3 and reached
them on April 24. She had just rinished
her dav's work when the colli
sion occurred and was at anchor. The
lost fishermen were all married.
