<->* TTftavesi.
At a large gathering of Christian people
in Jerusalem recently, Rev. T. De
Witt .Talmage was the preacher. His
text was Matthew xxiii, 37: ".Jerusalem!
Jerusalem'/' The sermon i-i appended:
This exclamation burst from Christ's
lips as he came* in sight of this great
_ city, and. although things have marvelously
changed, who cm vi<ir, Jerusalem
to-day without having us mighty past
roll over him, and ordinary utterance
must give place for the exclamatory as
we cry: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Disappointed
with the Holy Land many
have been, and I have heard good
friends say that their ardor abou i sacred
places had been so dampened that they
were sorry they ever visited Jerusalem.
But with mo the city and its surroundings
are a rapture, a solemnity, an overwhelming
emotion. 0 Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
The -procession of kings, con
querors, poets, and immortal men and
women pass before me as I stand here.
Among the throng are Solomon. David,
and Christ. Yes, through these streets
and amid these surroundings rode Solomon,
that wonder of splendor and wretchedness.
It seemed as though the world
exhausted itself on that man. It wove
its brightest flowers into his garland. It
cAt. ?+.? rirVhpsf-, trftms into his coronet. It
pressed the rarest wine to his lips. It
robed him in the purest purple and embroidery.
It cheered him with the
sweetest music in that land of harps. It
greeted him with the gladdest laughter
that ever leaped from mirth"-; iip. It
sprinkled his cheek with spray : -:n the
brightest fountains. Royalty had no
dominion, wealth no luxury, LroId no
glitter, flowers no sweetness. smg no
melody, light no radiance, upholstery no
gorgeousnes, waters no gleam, birds no
plumage, prancing coursers r.o mettle,
architects no grandeur but it was all his.
Across the thick grass of the lawn, fra
grant with tufts of cainphire from Ungedi,
foil the long shadows of trees
brought from distaut forests.
Fish pools, fed by artificial channels
that brought the streams from hills far
away, v.-ere perpetually rullled with
fins, and golden scales shot from water
cave to water cave with endless dive
and swirl, attracting the gaze cf foreign
potentates. Birds that had boon brought
from foreign aviaries" glanced and fluttered
among tbo foliage, and callcd to
their mates far beyonc? the sea. From
the royal stables there came up -the
neighing cf twelve thousand horses,
standing in blankets cf Tyrian purple,
chowing their bits over troughs of gold,
waiting for the King's order to be
brought out in front of the palace, when
the official dignitaries would leap into
the saddle for some grand parade, or,
harnessed to somo of the fourteen hundred
chariots of 'he King, the fiery
chargers with. Haunting inane and
throbbing nostril would make the earth
jar with tho tramp of hoors ?">I the
thunder of wheels. "While w>- t and
without the palace you could r. think

"he stands in the front and I >Tcs out
upos^the vast domain. What cl.-cs he
say? "vSing Solomon, great is your
dominion great is your honor, great- is
your joy?"No. While standing here'
amidst all the splendor the tears start,
and his heart breaks and he exclaims:.
"Vanity of vanities; all is vanity."
WVinr.' Solf.Tnfin not. Tinrvntr Xr>.
not happy. Tho honors and the emoluments
of this world bring so many cares
with them that they bring also torture
and disquietude. Pharaoh sits on ono
of the highest earthly eminences; yet ho
is miserable because there are some
people in his realm who do not
want any longer to make bricks. The
head'of Edward I. aches under "his crown
because the people will not pay the
taxes, and Llewellyn, Prince cf Wales,
will not do him homage, and Wallace
will be a hero. Frederick William III.
of Prussia is miserable because France
wants to take the Prussian provinces.
The world is not large enough for Louis
XLY. and'William III. Thr> ghastliest
suffering, the most shriveling fo^rs, the
most rencung jealousies, the most
gigantic disquietude, have - wa'ked
amidst obsequious courtiers, and b^en.
clothed in royal apparel, and sat on
^Jilagment seats of power.
^ Honor and truth and justice can not go
so^high up in authority as to be beyond
th&range of human assault. The pure
and the good in all ages have been execrated
by the mob who cry out: "Not
this man, but J>r;rabbas. Now, Itarflb.bas
was a robber." Fry honesty, by Chris- J
tian principle, I would have you seek
for the favor and the confidence of your
fellow men; but do not look upon some
high position as though that were always
sunshine. The mountains of earthly
honor arc like the mountains of Switzerland,
covered with perpetual ice and
snow. Having obtained the confidence
and love of your associates, be content
with such things as you have. You
brought nothing into the world, and it
is .very certain you can carry nothing
out. '"Cease ye from man, whose breath
is in his nostril*." There is an honor
that is worth possessing. but it is an
honor that comes from God. This day
rise up and take it. "Heboid what manner
of ioi-j the Father hath bestowed
upon us. that we should be called the
sons of God? Who aspires not for that
royalty? Com" now. and be kings and
pr:ests unto God and the Lamb forever.
If wealth and wisdom could have satisfied
a man. Solomon would hnvo hppr>
satisfied. To say that Solomon, was a
millionaire give* bus a very imperfect
idea of the property he inherited from
David, his f*t::<-r. lie had at his command
jrold to tho value of ?'080.000.000 and
hehadsi'vert ">ihe valueof?l. 029,000.377.
Tho Queen ?f Sheba made him a nice
little prescnc of ?720.000. and Hiram
made him a present of the same amount.
If he had lost the value of a whole realm
out of his pocket ii would have hardly
been worth his while to stoop down and
pick it up. He wrote one thousand and
live songs. He wrote three thousand
proverbs. He wrote about almost every
ibing. ino laoio says distinctly lie
wrote about plants, from tko cedar of
Lebanon to tho hyssop that groweth out
of the wall, and about birds and beasts
and fishes. Xo doubt he put off his royal
robes and put on hunter's trappings and
went out with his arrows to bring down
nhe rarest specimens or birds: and then ,
with his fishing' apparatus ho went clown '
to the stream to bring up the denizens
of the deep, and plunged into the forest
and found the rarest specimens of flow- :
ers; and then ho came back to his study
and wrote books about zoology. tho
science of animals; about ichthyology,
the scienco o? fishes; about ornithology,
the science of birds; about botany, the
; scicnce of pl -nts. Yet, nothwithstandi
ing ail his wisdom and wealth, behold
| his wretchedness, and let him pass on.
j Did aiiy other city ever behold so wonI
derful a man? O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
But here passes through these streets,
as in imagination I sec him, quite as
wonderful and a far better man. David
the conqueror, the king, the poet. Can
it be that I am in the very city where he
lived and reigned? David great for
nower. and creat for grief. He was
wrapped up in his boy, Absalom. He
was a splendid boy, judged by the rules
of worldly criticism. From the crown
of his head to the sole of his foot there
was not a single blemish. The Bible
says that he had such a luxuriant shock
of hair that, when once a voir it was
shorn, w?at was cut off weighed over
three pounds. But, notwithstanding all
his brilliancy of appearance he was a
bad boy and broke his father's heart. Ho
was plotting to get the throne of Israel.
He had marshaled an army to overthrow
j his father's government. The day of
battle had come, and the conflict wa3
begun. David, the father, sat between
J- -e -4-1 1 - ~ ~ -C d-\r%
xno gaies 01 inc piiiuuc; iui
tidings of the conflict. Oh, hov.*
rapidly his heart heat with emotion!
Two great questions were to bo decided
?the safety of his boy and tho continuanco
o" tho throne of Israel. A-fter
a while, a servant, standing on the
j top cf tho house, looks off, and he sees
some one running. lie is coming with
; great speed, and the man*on the top of
I the house announces the coming of tho
__a IV. c- OTW7
messenger, uiiu tuu lamu njwiiw
waits, and as soon as the messenger
from the field of battle comes within
hailing distance the father cries out. Is
it a question in regard to the establishment
of his throne? Does he say:
"Have the armies of Israel been victorious?
Am I to continue in my imperial
authority? Have I overthrown
my enemies?" 0, no. There is ono
question that springs from his heart to
the lip, and springs from tiie up into toe
ear of the besweated ana bedusted messenger
flying from tho battlefield? tho
question: "Is the young man Absalom
safe?"' When it was told to David, tho
King, that, though his armies had been
victorious, his son had been slain, tho
father turned his back upon tho congratulations
of tho nation, and went up
tho stairs of his palace, his heart breaking
as he ivenfc, wringing his hands
sometimes, and then again pressing
them against his temples as though ho
would press them in, crying: '*0 Absalom!
my son! my son! Would God I had
died for thee, O Absalom! my son! my
son!" Stupendous grief of David resounding
through all succeeding agos
This was the city that heard the woe.
I u erusaiem, jeruscuuui.
I am also thrilled and' overpowered
with the remembrance that yonder
where now stands a Mohammedan
mosque stood the temple, the very one
that Christ visited. Solomon's temple
had stood there, but Nebuchadnezzar
thundered it down. Zerubbabel's temple
had stood there, but that had been prostrated.
Then Kerod built a temple because
he was fond of great architecture,
and he wanted the preceding temples to
seem insignificant. Put eight or ten
j modern cathedrals together, and they
would not equal that structure. It covered
nineteen acres. There were marble
I -Ml a; o-n
Uiii'cirs SU^pUi. tiiij; j.uuio ui v^uui,
silver tables on which stood golden cups,
and there were carvings exquisite and
inscriptions resplendent, glittering' balustrades
and ornamental gateways.
The building of this temple kept ten
thousand workmen busy forty-six years.
Stupendous pilo of pomp and magnificence!
But the material and architectural
grandeur of the building were very
tamo compared with the spiritual meaning
of its altars and holy of holies, and
the overwhelming significance of its
ceremonies. 0 Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
But standing in this old city all other
facts are eclipsed when we think that
near here our blessed Lord was born,
that up and down the streets of this city
He v;alked, and that in the outskirts of
it Ho died. Here was nis only day of
triumph and His assassination. One day
: this old Jerusalem is at tho tiptop of excitement.
Christ has been doing1 some
remarkable works and asserting very
high authortiy. The police court has
issued papers for his arrest; for this
thing must be stopped, as the very government
is imperiled. News comes that
last night this stranger arrived at
a suburban village and that ho is
stopping at the house of a man whom
he had resuscitated after four days
sepulture. Well, the people rush out
into the streets, somo with the idea of
helping in the arrest of this stranger
when he arrives, and others expecting
that on the morrow he will como into
tne Town and by some supernatural
force oust tbe municipal and royal
authorities and take everything in his
own hands. They pour out of the city
gates until the procession reaches to
the village. Thev come all around
abcut the house where the stranger is
stopping, and peer into the doors and
windows that they may get one glimpse
of him or hear the Iium of his voice.
The police daro not make the arrest,
^because he had somehow won
the affections of all the people.
0, it is a lively night in
yonder Bethany! The heretofore quiet
village is filled with uproar and outcry,
and loud discussion about the strange~

w\s any sleep in that house that night
where the stranger was stopping1. Although
he cams in weary he finds no
rest, though, for oncti in his lifetime, he
had a pillow. But the morning dawns,
the olive gardens wave in the light, and
all along yonder road, reaching over the
top of Olivet, toward .this city, there li i
a vast swaying crowd of wondering people.
The excitement around the
j door of the cottage is wild as the stran|
ger steps out beside an unbroken colt
that had never been mounted, and after
his friends had strewn their garments
on the beast for a saddle the Saviour
mounts it. and the populace, excited and
shouting and feverish, push, on back
toward this city of Jerusalem. Let none
jeer now or ^coft at this rider, or the
populace will trample him under foot
in an instant. There is one long
shout of two miles, and as far as the
uyo can reach you sec wavinjrs of
demonstrations and approval. There
was sometnmg m tno rider s visage,
something in his majestic brow, something
in his princely behavior, that stirs
up the enthusiasm of the people. They
run. up against t'm beast and try to
pull the rider off into their arms and
carry on their shoulders the illustrious
stranger. The populace are so excited
that they hardly know what to do with
themselves, and some rush up to the
roadside trees and wrench off branches
and throw them in his way: and others
doif their garments, what though they
oe new ana. costiv, -ana spreaa Uicra lor
a carpet for the conqueror to ride over.
"Hosanna!" cry the people at the foot of
the kill. "Hosanna!"' cry the people all
up and down tho mountain. The procession
has now come to the brow of
yonder Olivet. Magnificent prospect
reaching' out in every direction?vineyards,
olive groves, jutting rock, silverySiloam,
and above all, rising on its i>
throne of hills, this most highly honored I
city of all the earth, Jerusalen# Christ
there, in the midst cf the procession,
V.. ivs o.T and sees hero fortressed pates,
a-i yonder the circling' wall, and here
tho tov.*crs blazing in tho sun, Phasaelus
and Mariamnc. Yonder is Hippicus,
tho king's castle. Looking along in the
range of tho largo branch of that olive
tree, you see tho mansions of tho mor:
chant princes. Through this cleft in the
1 limestone rock you see the palace of the
| richest* trafficker mauino earin. xiu j
! has made his money by selling- Tyrian j
purple. Behold now the temple! Clouds
of smoke lifting1 from the shimmering j
1 roof, while the building rises upbeauti-j
j ful, grand, majestic, tiio architectural
1 skill and glory of the earth lifting
themselves thero in one triumphant I
doxology, the frozen prayer of all nations.
The crowd looked around to see exhili
aration and transport in the face of i
Christ. 0, no! Qut from amid the,
gates, and the domes, and the palaces,
there arose a vision of this city's sin,
and of this city's doom, which obliterated
the landscape from horizon to horizon.
and lie burst into tears, crying: "O,
| Jerusalem, Jerusalem!" But that was
j the only day of pomp that Jesus saw in
i and around the city. Yet lie walked
the streets of this city the loveliest
and most majestic being that the
world ever saw or ever will see. Publius
Lcntulus, in a letter to the Roman
Senato describes Him as "a man of
stature, somewhat tall, Ilis hair the
color of a chestnut rally ripe, plain to
the ears, whence downward it is more
orient, curling- and waving1 about the
shoulders; in the midst of his forehead
is a stream, or partition of his hair;
forehead plain and very delicate; his
face without spot or wrinkle, a loveiy
red; his nose and mouth so forked as
nothing can he represented; his heard
thick, in color like his hair?not very
long; his eyes gray, quick and clear."
Ho must die. The French army in Italy
found a brass plate on which was a copy
of his death warrant, signed by John
Zerubbabel, Raphael Kobani, Daniel
Robani, and Capet.
Sometimes men on the way to the
scaffold have been rescued by the mob.
Xo such attempt was made in this case,
fnr 1 hi-> vnnh wr-ro against him. From 9
in the morning till 3 in tho afternoon,
Jesus hung a-dying in tho outskirts of
this city. It was a scene of blood. Wo
are so constituted that nothing is so exciting
as hlood. It is not the child's
cry in the street that so arouses you as
tho crimson dripping Jrom its lip. In
the dark hall, seeing tho finger marks
of blood on the plastering, you cry:
"What terrible deed has been done
hero'?" Looking upon this suspended
victim of the cross, we thrill with tho
sight of blood?blood dripping from
thorn and nail, blood rushing upon his
cheek, blood saturating his garments,
blood gathered in a pool beneath. It
is called an honor to have in one's veins

t^o house of Hapsburg. Is it nothing
.when 1 point you to the outpouring
blood o:i the King of the universe?
In England the name of Henry was so
great that its honors were divided
among different reigns. It was Henry
the First, and Henry the Second, and
Henry the Third, and Henry the Fourth,
and Henry the Fifth. In France the
name of Louis was so favorably regarded
that it was Louis the First, Louis
the Second, Louis tho Third, and so on.
But the King- who walked these streets
was Christ the First, Christ the Last,
and Christ the Only. lie reigned before
-the czar mounted the throne of Russia,
or the throne of Austria was lifted,
"King eternal, immortal." Through tho
indulgences of tho royal family, tho
physical lifo degenerates, and some of
the kings have been almost imbecile,
and their bodies weak, and their blood
ihin and watery; but the crimson life
that, flmvfil unon Calvnrv had in it the
health of immortal God.
Tell it now to all the earth, and to all
tho heavens?Jesus, our king1, is sick
with His last sickness. Let couriers
carry the swift dispatch. His pains are
worse; Ho is breathing a last groan,
through His body quivers the last anguish;
the king is dying; tho king is
dead! It is royal blood. It is said that
some religionists make too much of the
humanity of Christ. I respond that wo
make too little. If some Iiomin surgeon,
standing under the cross, had
caught one drop of the blood on his
hand and analyzed it, it would Lave been
found to have the same plasma, the same
disc, the same fibrin, the same albumen.
It was unmistakably human blood. It is
a man that haugs there. His bones are
of the same material as ours. Ilis nerves
are sensitive like ours. If it were an
angel being1 despoiled I would not feel it
so much, for it belongs to a different order
of beings. But my Saviour is a man,
and my whole sympathy is aroused. I
can imagine now xne sdikcs ieu?now
hot the temples burned?what deathly
sickaoss seized his heart?how mountain,
gnd city, and mob swam away from
his dying vision?something of tho
meaning of that cry for help that
makes the blood of all the ages curdle
with horror: ''My God! my God! why
hast thou forsaken nr;?''
Forever with all these scencs of a
Saviour's suffering will this citv be as
sociated. Ilcro his unjust trial and here
His death. 0. Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
But finally I am thrilled with the fact
that this city is a symbol of Heaven
which is OE.ly another Jerusalem, "The
New Jerusalem!" And this thought has
kindled the imagination of all the sacred
poets. 1 am glad that Horatio Bonar,
the Scotch hymnist, rummaged
among old manuscripts of the British
museum until be found that hymn in
ancient spelling, parts of r.'hich we have
in mutilated form in our modern hymn
books, but the quaint power of which
we do not get in our modern versions:

KILLING HOGS.
The characteristic work of the month
is '-hog killing," aud happy is the mac
who has a pen full of porkers ready foi
the k:?if?- and the yawning ''smokehouse."
The bops ou^ht to be fat
enough 10 ki!i early in December. Indeed,
if '!cj had proper attention during
the past summer and fall, the first coid
spell in November should have been the
signal f';r slaughter and the harbinger ol
rrr-rilf ncd backbones, sausages and
Liaias, etc. The art of butcheriog hog?
ir rce ia which considerable skill can be
displayed, although as often practiced it
has given rise to the reproachful term?s
"mere butchery''?as applied to any
operation unskilfully performed.
First, get everything refidy, presuming
the hogs to be fa*. Have plenty ol
water, plenty of fuel, shaip knives,
table?, platforms or shelves for spreading,
a good '"gallows" and gambrels, plenty
of clean, coarse salt and a little saltpetre,
A large kettle is the best appliance for
securing hot water. Have a thermometer
to lest the water. Commence to kii
by the "break of day," by simply s-tick
ing each hog with a long, .keen kuife.
Every one of the 5,000 hogs killed pel
day in the Amour packery in Chicago, ii
simply stuck with a knife and permittee
to bleed to death.
The water should be about the temperature
of 1G0? Farenheit?not under 150c
nor over 170?. This is found to be the
proper degree (1G0) after repeated tests.
A little tar added to the water, help:
wonderfully in removing the hair. Clear
oft every hair and patch of scurf, anc
wash and scrape clean before "opening1
the carcas?. Commence "cutting out'
as scon as the last hog is disembowelled,
Trim the hams neatly, rounding them ai
the upper end and removing all surplus
far. and ragged meat. Cut the sides o:
middlings as large as possible, leave th<
shoulders correspondingly small. Pul
out the strip of tenderloin that lie3 alone
the upper edge of each "middling," foi
sausage meat, or immediate consumptior
(it is worthless when dry salted anc
cured); and also tbe thick edge of fircc
fat that lies underneath the lean strip,
fo: lard. Take out the ribs, or most 01
them. Now rub the flesh side of eact
ham and shoulder with salt, and lay *il
skin down on a shelf or platform in i
cool, shady and airy place, sprinkling i
thin layer of salt over the surface. Nexi
morning, before day, commence to sail
down in tight half "hogsheads cr barrels,
putting a layer of middlings at the bottom,
filling all the open spaces with jowh
and salt. Before packing down put ?
small teaspoonful.^uf saltpetre on eact
ham if you wish them to be firm and red.
Use plenty of salt, leaving do vacanl
spaces between the pieces of pork.
We forbear any further details, butbe^
the farmer to j>i?e the good wife all
needed assistance, iu the way of labci
and material, that may be required in the
lard, sausage and pig feet departmeu.
Next month we may contitfue the topic
ana include the dry-curing by smoking,

have been removed from the soil by th(
crops of graiD, hay and other food crops
cousumed by the asimals of the farm,
reappear in the liquid and solid excrements.
The making of domestic manures
consists maimy in procuring tnese elements
of fertility and restoring theui tc
the soil whence they were removed bj
the crops.
The growing of food crops, the saving
of their manure aod restoring it to the
soil; is a beautiful illustration of the law
of compensation and restitution. An individual
particle of phosphoric acid, lime
or potash may possibly make the circuit
from the soil, through the grain, into the
living auimal tissue, tnence to tne
manure heap aha back again to the soil
dozens of tic:es in the course of a farmer's
cultivation of a grain farm. First, it
is in the soil, a particle of inert matter;
nest it is organized into the constitution
of the grain; then becoming a Dart of
the living bone, muscle or^other tissue,
or passing through unappropriated; then
into the urine and droppiDgs. Now if
these excrements be carefully saved and
placed on the soil, and the latter be prevented
from undue waste of the store of
elements of fertility still remaining, the
process of exhaustion of the land must be
comparatively slow. It is the duty of the
iariEer nut ouiy to save, m me iorm 01
manure, what has .been removed from
the soil, but to add to this recovered
portion additional supplies of these elements
from other sources, both from the
deep rccesses of the soil itself, and from
sources outside the farm, as well as by
the cultivation of such crops as have the
power to gather nitrogen from the atmosphere,
thus building up the soil and increasing
its productiveness. In these
few words we have stated the theory of
restoring, maintaining ana increasing
tre fertility of the soil.
Evervtbin:? that has ?rrnwn upon the
soil, and everything that has once formed
any part of the animal body or has been
excrei'ed from the body, is more or less
valuable as a manure. All vegetable and
animal garbage, then, that accumulates
about the farm building, stables, woodfnwl
nnii?p
comers, ihe leaves from the forest Dear
by, not to mentioD cotton seed, should
be considered as coutaining the circulating
medium by means of which the
various operations of growing crops,
growing and fattening animals, the pro- I
dimtion of milk, etc., are carried off. !
After saviDg all these materials, resc^t^
should be made to comn:.r..:-d fertilizers.

or less, in ordinary stable manure. Many
persons are the opidion that the use of
commercial fertilizers is an unprofitable
and unwise innovation. M'e do not propose
to discuss the general proposition,
'*I)o commercial fertilizers pay tfce
farmer ?'* It is ro doubt true tbat some !
farmers fail to find arv sub-.tantial profit
! in the use of tlicru; aud i* is also true
that the most skilful are sometimes im-1
posrd :i5;op, and sometimes they thernst'lvrr.
::re at fault. But the mo*t convincing
r.roof of the utility r.f commercial
fertilizers is the continued and annually
is;crcasin?r consumption of them.
This tinned reiiar.ee up<<u them mutt
be the result of a profitable experience.
We will add that those farmers who
succeed without fertilizers owe their
vnccess not *o that fact, but to the exercise
of skill, economy and industry in all
the departments of furm operations.
They would probably be even more successful
if they would make a judicious
use ?"-f commercial or concentrated chemical
fi rtiii/.ers. It will be time enough

. STOCX- FEED IXl!.
The question "f st' ck feeding is one
that is but little undorsto'd by the average
farmer in its scientific and economic
aspects. The invcsti?&ti<>s of ll:? composition
and digestibility of the various
, food materials has received much attention
of late ye;ir.?, and <??r stock of know I,
edge is being systematized and greatly
increased. Every farmer knows'-that
good sound merchantable "ahei'.t is an
excellent food for a milch cow or any
working animal, in the sense ti-at it will
; produce milk and butter of the best
| quality, but he also knows that it will
' not pay to feed good wheat to cattle
and horse?, because Us peculiar adaptation
as a human food forbids its use as a
1 s'ock food. The same principle holds
gu.;d in many other cases, some of thrra
ricognized and understood by every
t farmer, while others are ODly appreciated
i by the scientific investigator.
This subject is well treated as an articie
on page o:56 of Dur November issue, by
; Prof. \Y. E Stone, and we ask our readers
to refer to that article and read it carefnllw

I Wbife admitting that cotton seed hulls

f beef and the muscular power to labor
that result from the use of the combination
of hulls and meal are mainly due to
I the meal and cot the hells, which are
about as valuable as clean, dry out strow.
There is a very close corresoondence,

THE NEEDS OF THE DAY.
3 A Statement of Some Important Tliinz*
to be Done by the Farmers.
Southern Alliance Farmer.
j If we need one thing more than
I another at this time it is .education
> and information. It takes education
, to enable a man to hold a purely conservative
position upon great questions.
Ignorance and fanaticism go hand in
s hand. That cur government is passing
through its crucial era, is as true as
, true can be. That unwise and uuj ast
j national legislation Las widened the
, breech between the two great classes
; of our people is evident to every thinkj
ing mind. If the species of robbery,
, which can only exist under such laws
| as ours, is to be brought to an end, and
t.Tip. monpvp^ nriTCPr wbirVh
^ these' unjust laws, still, by bribery and
by purchase will endeavor to perpet'
uate them, what will be the result ?
We see, year after year, the circle
| of success is narrowing and the
* borders of misfortune widening. We
see the wealth of the nation going into
" the favored few, while it is taken from
1 the toiling millions. The breech
' widens~'and the bond of-sympathy
' weakens between the few who are
1 very rich and the many who are very
1 poor.

citizens which she lost over an hundred
years ago by the bayonet. English
loan agents laugh at the idea of
the poor borrowing producer ever repaying
the loans under our system of
government, and they acknowledge
that they do not want them paid.
With all this before us what have
' we to hope for except through the or
ganization of the producing classes?
I With such organization must come.
' though, research, information, con5
servatism, combined effort, earnest

uncompromising effort to undo these
* great wrongs, we fail to get at the
foundation of this superstructure of
> error, and leave the germs of rottenr
ness in the system still. No government
can live with rotten core. The
; conditions reached by this centralizing
; policy are the same which have de'
stroyed thrones, principalities and
powers in the past, and which will
ever do so in the future.
We do not want the. unjust accumulations
of the millionaires, but we do
want to stop the process by which they
have obtained these millions. The
people of America are not the freemen
which they should be and will be. How
will this end ? But for the organization
of farmers and laborers it would
end in blood, but this organization
says: "We are no socialists; we are
no anarchists; we are no rioters, but
by the power of the people's unpurchased
ballot and our united effort and
the approving help of a just God, we
will undo these wrongs and make
America once more the 'land of the
free and the home of the brave.' "

Hod. James M. Smith, of Smithonia, j
Ga., bears a State reputation as beiDg i
one of the most progressive farmers of '
the South. His Oglethrope county

Mr. Smith has reduced farmiag to au

money ard is probably the wealthiest j
planter in^Gsorgia.
CULTIVATION' OF THE MULBERRY, j
During the past few weeks a report,
has been in general circulation among
the papers of the State to '.he elfect
that Mr. Smith had planted one hundred
thousand mulberry trees iu this
county, his object being to make a
thorough test of silk-culture in Georgia.
The report said that he v/?s
satisfied that theie was a great deai of
money in it, and determined to go to
work at once to developed it; that he
negotiated with Mr. W. H. Thurman,
of Athens, to set out these trees, and
mativir. inurrcau v\as new at worK
at it.
A representative of the Constitution
called ou Jlr. Smith to inquire of him
concerning the matter, and in repiy
to the question as to whether or not
the reports were true, he said:
"'They are partiy true, but greatly
exaggerated. Tu o years ago I bought
i,u :? ?,, 1!
one inuuaauu iiuii ucaiiu^ uiuiucn v I
scions and got a man to superintend
their planting I did this not only because
I wanted to incidentally test the
silk industry, but because I thought
the mulberry tree possessed may advantages
in other respects. I regard
the fruit bearing mulberry as a valuable
tree both for fruit and ior timber.
They grow up quickly, and bear berries
luxuriantly. Being nearly all
heart, the timber is very valuable for
posts, crossties and many other purposes
where durability is an object.
Again mulberry timber is especially
adaptable for furniture. These trees
bear fruit 100 days each year, beginning
the last of May. While some of
the berries are ripe and falling to the
ground, others are green, and others
hlnnmirfr Hnrrc ata fvrt.rpjnplv fmirl
of them, and fatten rapidly on* them.
So do chickens and other fowls.
a' profitable culture.
"I have no doubt but that the growing
of these trees can be made profitabue.
On an acre of land one hundred
could be set out, and in ten or fifteen
years these trees would average say
eight or ten inches in' diameter, and
eighteen or twenty feet in height withAitt;
flip limhci trpp wrmlrl fnr
nish at this rate about one hundred
feet of lumber. This lumber at one
dollar per hundred feet would cause
each tree to be worth one dollar after
being sawed up. Mulberry lumber,
however, is worth more than one dollar
per hundred feet, prepare two dollars.
But whether they are ever
raised for timber or not on a large
scale, every farmer should have a few
acres for his hogs and chickens. A few
around the 3 ard lor chickens is an excellent
thing."
AS TIMBER BECOMES MORE SCARCE
and valuable our people, if they are
wise', will begin to look about for the
most available timber to take the place
of that now being cleared away so rapidly.
Instead of cultivating at a loss,
as some do, hundreds of acres of poor,
worn and exhausted land, it wo?ld be
much better to plant these lands in
some growth, which in the course- of
time, would be valuable.
"I call the attention of the people to
matters of material progress, to induce
tnem bo iook aneaa ana pernare tor i
coming years. To persuade them to . "*iprove
their homes in every possible
'way, is prehaps, the greatest mission
of any newspaper, or any man. The
Constitution has for years been preeminently
on this line,-and. for its
work deserves the praise of the peoplh."
" The Drift ol Capital,
Virginia is evidently fast recovering
^ jj i _
iroiii uue wuuuus aiiu losses see
suffered during the civil war. The
hundreds of million of capital annihilated
within her borders whitg^the
war was in progress and in the decade
that followed are being regained with
phenomenal rapidity. A great deal of
foreign capital has been invested in
Virginia in recent years. Governor
Lee will show in his forthcoming
message, it is stated, that $100,000,000
has been brought into the State lor
permanent investment since 1883.
There are good reasons, he thinks, for
oeneving mat tne influx 01 capital win
increase in the next few years
at a rate never before equaled, a large
amount of money going into the development
of the iron and coal mining
regions along the Shenandoah Valley,
Richmond and Allegheny and Norfolk
and Western Railroads. A great deal
has already been done since 18S3 in
tne territory traversed Dy tnese roaas.
The record of new railroad mileage
built, furnaces constructed and put into
blast, factories, mills, machine shops
and other industries established, is
such as to show that the Old Dominion
is leading rather than lagging behind
in the race of progress upon which the
South has entered.

The Cotton Crop ct the !?tate.
Earlj in November the State department
of agriculture announced the crop
estimates of its correspondents, after a
careful tabulation, and according to
these estimates.the yield of cotton this
year was placed at 39,000 bales. The
reports of the correspondents, on which
this estimate was based, were made about
September 20, when the plant looked
promising, but later in the season it benomo
nnnnrpnt that dry weather and un
usually eariv frosts would greatly affect
the yiel^, and at the time the figures
were published the statement was made
that they were probably too high. Tomake
sure of the facts Commissioner
Butler, some weeks ago, sent out to his
township correspondents for supplementary
estimates of the cotton crop. Several
hundred replies have been received of the
average date of December 1, and a tabulation
iust completed shows that the crop |
of 1889 is only 543,208 bales, agaiDst
558,000 bales last year, a decrease of
Dearly 15,000 bales. The loss of 96,000
bales from the September estimate is
accounted for not only by drought ana
early frosts, but by the backwardness of
the plant and the extent to which it
went to weeu iu iei iuu ucavj iaiuo m
the summer.

Everybody has heard of a " horse laugh-* j
but -who has ever seen an equine gifted wiik
the power of speech? Such an animal would
be pronounced a miracle; but so would th?

ago. Why, even very recently a cUre for consumption,
which is universally acknowledged
to be scrofula affecting the lungs, would have
been looked upon as miraculous, but now people
are beginning to realize that the disease
is not incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical )
Diseoverv will cure it, 11 tanen in lime ana

will not make new lungs, but it will re?

it is an unerjualed remedy. In derangement*
