J "Fife V?'ells" or Water Tanks. j We see by t lie Flore >cc Tunes that I the town council of Florence adver-' tise forbids for diguing "lire wells" in ! tiie town. If the town council would ; )hit a water tank, about the size of an ordinary Railroad water tank, it; would be more useful than a "fire well," and woidd cost much less. At the liverv stable of Wallingford &! Jtussel 1 they have put a water tank,! holding 5,(l(ii) gallons of water, which j is filled by rain water from ihe roof of! the stable. The bottom of the tank! is ten or twelve feet above the ground, j and when it is full of water it would . through a hose raise water to a level of twenty feet al>ove ground, which is' decidedly belter than going downj in a hole under the ground forj water. A good mechanic in town put j up the tank and frame on which it j stands for $00, which is a'little more j than half the cost of a machine made, lank, uud is perfectly tiirht. i, - !

Just Grounds of Complaint?Is there No Remedy \ Editor* P>'cm nvd Banner : Many citizens of this soction were iirtnrovsnrl with llm nmnnpct of 1 having a hotter system of mails. There! has been little or no improvement however, and believing in the old adage, I "strike whilst the iron is hot," I bog j leave of space in your valuable paper to' speak of some of our troubles. The: mails to Bordeaux, Sandover, and the! Georgia mail via Ferguson's ferry are all ! in a miserable condition. And this state 'of affairs iu a country of fast freights and j express is a disgrace to any civilized community. The carriers have been, known to 'stop at night en route to their i destinations and to walk, driving theit horses ahead with a pole. Consequently mail matter accumulates at the different offices and when it reaches its destination | the recipient gets a pile of stale paper and ! any quantity of letters of the same description. The countryman's on 1 v means of communicating with the outside world j is through the medium of the mails and he is entitled equally as much as his more fortunate brethren of the towns to an efficient mail services. Complaints are made every side and many propose to stop their | county paper for reasons already mentioned. Cannot something be done?

I Sonic Interesting: Facts ns to Drouths and Crops ? Good Suggestions I?y a Practical Farmer. Editors Press and linnncr: It is said extremes follow cadi other. For instance1 a very cold winter issueeeeded by an intensely hot summer, a year of general drouth by one of great rainfall. With the above theory in mind I propose to uivo your readers the benefit of my recollections of the years of drouth lol lowed by extremely wet seasons, which have Visited our country duriiig tile last lortv years. First, the year ISoSt will be remembered by our oldest inhabitants as one of great drouth, no rain foil from early in July until the 10th of November, yet the cotton crop was the largest ever produced in tile history of the country prior to that date. Many of the largest rivers almost ceased to run. The writer remembers to have seen one or mere acres of honutitul turnips growing in (lie lied -if the Savannah at Augusta, ( planted by Shultz the enterprising founder ?>f Hamburg) which were harvested before the rains of November, IMO, is memorable in the history of the country as a year of Hoods and Ire-bets. In May occurred the great Harrison freshet, Causing widespread destruction of property situated on all our Southern rivers, and excessive rain's continued during the entire crop season. In 1SI.*? our entire State was visited by another severe drouth succeeded by an extremely wet season. Immense j crops of small grain were made, but a large quantity was lost from spouting in the head as it grew,and in the shock after j being harvested; whole fields of cotton were abandoned to the grass. 18f>l was very dry, followed by a year of rain and floods, in August, 1&>2, ihe it t?. It. II. was literally washed away, crops 011 all the larger streams in the State were entirely destroyed and on the smaller great-j ly injured. another famine year, I 1SG7 very seasonable, with labor abun- j dant ami edlcieut, light crop of small grain, yet many acres of cotton were given up to the grass. I would not harro.v the feelings of your readers by refreshing j their memories sis to the pa*t year, The) annual despondency of our people, the) gaunt half fed stock to be seen on almost j every plantation, our own ofien times nl-j most empty, I)read baskets are forcible i reminders of the terrible, withering! ilroutli of 1881. Judging the future by the past may we I not reasonably expect* this to be a very seasonable of wet year, already the rain-1 rail has been immense. Then with the fact before us that we have the largest; irea sown to grain ever before known to i Jie country, with on* plow stock poor, | ivith all kinds of supplies for man and i east at high figures and our purses ?mpty. with scarcely a furrow of preparation run at this late date, with labor 'carce and inefficient, would it n<?t besui-! idal for the farmers of Abbeville counv to plant another great big crop of colon, in attempting too much may we not oscall. Nothing but the most favorable season enabled us to save the grain, work >ut the immense crops planted the last , several years, with u large crop and a wet ji seas< n great loss iiiii.M necessarily ensue. \ may have a large area in grain, plant j! arjicly in cotton tx pectins to draw as-j| iistatice from the plantation of It, but lie 11 nust remember that 11 is in precisely the < mine tix, and so on all the way through. jj iVouhi it not bo better policy to plant j imallcnciillivated crops, apply more nia-l, nire per acre, prepare tin* land moreji boroughly, cultivate rapidly, and stand ire;>nred to save the bounteous harvest | J ihicli wo believe a kind Providence is,! bout to bestow upon us?

That Christian !* ho hits not experienced soiuetniug of its 11 in and peace has made no great attain- ' tents in piety. The spirit of discontent ? at war with the spirit of child-like con- , deuce and trust in God's providence. ; Take no thought for the morrow." Having lood and raiment therewith be| imlcnt."

He knows) i hat things we have need of, and these! e has pledged himself to bestow. The fo is more than meat, and the body than . niment. There is no want to them that i ?ar I he Lord. Hut contentment has a far | ider application than that which per-1 J lins to temporal necessities. The most | iscontented people oftentlmos are those .'ho not only have food and raiment butj j tinny of the comforts of life. They often ave position ami influence. Hut there''1 re others above them in society. Tb^rjjl' re others whose fortunes itre larger, } rhose modes of living are moreexponive. This is ilieir thorn in the flesh, "hat home which should ho to them a aven of rest and happiness becomes! ' reary and uninviting. Nothing is its it hotifd be. The occasions of "envying ' ud grieving" are as numerous as the difurences in the condition and circiinistanes between thcuiselves and their distiuuished acquaintances. Such persons re not only unhappy themselves, but hey make all around them unhappy, 'hey are like a continual dropping in a cry rainy day. While there are a thous- j ? nd tilings which should excite gratitude j nd thankfulness, all arc forgotten in the I -j maginary wants. The language of the Ipostlo is to theni an unknown tongue, 'hey read but lliey do not understand, 'hey have, with him, no common expeience. "Not that I speak in respect of vant: for I have learned in whatsoever! tate I am therewith to be content." Very | nuch of that demoralization which has uvaded high social circles and cast down nanv strong men, which has disgraced iank Presidents and Cashiers and sent hem to penitentiaries, is the fruit of disjontent. Every acquisition whether of ' idles or honor, was but fuel to a flame . hat was already consuming hot. It inallv burned to ashes every sentiment L if honest}*, every scruple of morality, as veil as every restraint of our holy reli-!1 J'on. * |, Hut contentment is not indolence. It, nay and often does co-exist with tho ut- i< nost diligence and activity. It is, how- I ?ver, labor not for self but for others. It s labor in the spirit of Him who was :oustantIy auguged in good works. Hless>d are the contented !

We understand l hut some; ire in favor of goiny: back to the conven-j lion plan of nominating candidates, but! it is not likely tiiat the people will agree i.o this. The primary plan, which has lieeu in operation iu this county since I 1878, is more iu accord with the principles upon which our government is i rounded than the convention plan. It! Iirings the candidates directly before the i ruwmlft mill ni'AI'V hoirificrit. IMltl PYllCAsH ! I>y his ballot his choice lor the different offices. Hut it seems to us that the primary system should he so changed as to require a majority instead of a plurality vote. That is to say, the candidates should he nominated by a majority of all the votes cast, and not by the iiighest number as has been the custom here. The same objection can be made to the plurality plan that has been made to the convention plan, in this, that very often candidates are nomii Hied who are not the choice of a majority of the Democrats of thecci ntv. The majority plan will often necessitate two elections, but the result will be worth tlio trouble. We shall be' glad to have the views of our readers up-! on this subject. The .Esthetics ol' Dress.

A. Crotwell. ono of Newberry's most successful fanners, on the subject of farming. Ills ideas on the subject ap'poir to us as of much practical value. !Tito conversation began by our a-king | Mr. Crotwell whether he proposed to , keep a WESTERN CORN CRIR. tliis year. Ilis reply was that ho did not; I that he has planted 140 acres in wheat | and oats, and intends to make food i enough for himself, his hands and his stock. He will reduce his cotton acreage this year one-fourth ; next year lie will reduce it one-half, and will keep it there. The Lien Law he regards as having proved a great injury to tho farming interests. Enacted ata titn-? when cotton was high, it was expected that tho fanners writ Id easily pay their liens and have! money enough loft over to be independent. * But cotton went down, and many farmarn aot deeper in debt. They have been making frantic efforts to get out by RAISING BIG COTTON CROPS J but every effort has sunk them deeper. Tho effect of the lien system has l?e??n to force the farmer to raiso.too much cotton which ue (ih compeuea 10 son at a lowprice while lie pays a high price for his provisions. Mr. (Jrotwell gives his idea of proper farming thus: Pitch your crop the FIRST OF SEPTEJinER, and work according to system. With one mule and a hand hired for 50 cents a day you can sow 15 acres of grain in 15 day's of September : and 15 acres in 15 days in October. As the nuilo would otherwise be idle, you thus have 30 acres of grain sown down at an expense of'815, exclusive of the co^t of seed, and that you should raise. In November fix up a few j small patches of Lucerene, err clover of j some kind. With the samo mule in December and January haul in firewood.) and litler to make manure. In February i begin to prepare for cotton. The same) mule can attend 30 acres in eoirton also,! making all together. GO ACRES TO Tnr. MULE. Plant no corn except in bottoms. When j the small grain is c ut. plant the stubble j down in peas in rows 24 inches apart with | a two-footed plow. The reasons in favor, of peas against corn are. (I) that they are! worth just as much as corn, (2) the cost of | raising them is about one-third that of. [raising corn, and. (3), they fertilize the | [laud, while corn exhausts it. Next year REVERSE THE CROPS ; ! plant small grain where cotton was plant-! ed the year before, and cotton where! grain was. Do this, and the fertilizing! by cotton seed and peavincs raised on thoj farm will improve the land every year, j and in twenty-one veiti;s the land will lie j as rich as when the'timber was first eut| off it. By this'plan of farming a farmer ; gets a living off his land for hims df a* d ; stock ; hands get their living; and .the cotton brings clear money. Some will say that a mule "annot tend sixtv a'-rcs ; but Mr. Crotwcll savs it can <o i. ea^ iy. ! if it lias the right kind of a man t-> assist j it. To prove this he says that year before last Mr. Hamilton Fellers cultivated on | his place 81) acres of cotton with two mules i I making 50 bales and made besides with: these same mules that year 200,001) b:i<-ks 1 and hauled with them ?250 worth of wood, j a great many larmersdon't know wliathi mule can do, hecausc they have never' given liirn a fair showing. Mr. Cfottvell says t.iat one serious mis take many fanners make is in futting off farming operations till [ january ; j that a farmer should lay all his plans, ditch his crop, and begin his years work ' the first of September. The fall and1 early v? inter, the nest time for working J is in great part wasted and stock is kepti idle nt ii big expense, while the farmer is dawdling about waiting for January to J fioinpi Another serious mistake is to; buy mtiIra, wagons and farming irnple-l incuts (all which cost heavily) and to! leave the rare of those things to lahorcia ! who have no permanent interest in thorn. j A farmer should look alter these things losely and see that theV nve ?*ikon carol of, ar.d that begets the full value out olj them. If le:t to tenant} and laborers! who are not pecuniarily interested in their i preservation'.hey soon go to \\m:k and! rum, and then comes a big oxpensc in < replacing thein. Another mistake is in expecting to get j everything fr >m the land without giving back Jto the land anything. If a farmer! makes 3500 oil'a piece of land he should put 8250 of it back on the land in improving it. Tlu reought to be a law to punish a man for allowing his land to go to waste. Mr. Crotwell says that with a long handle hoe, a spade and it rake he can goj (in an v i;mu hi l111m v_y?>1111lv ?uni ; make a plenty for himself and his two children ; as much or more than Urn average farmer makes with a mule or two. Mr. Crotweil gives the following advice : If you would have your farm well attended to attend to it yourself and see that you raise your own provisions-ai least; hut ify.ou don't care, get somebody else to attend t:> it for you, and then it ! doesn't matter min-h what is pkmC.I.

I often wonder how so firm a friendship has been established. The method oj education consists in separating the puppy while very young from its mother and 111 acccustuming it to its future companions. A ewe is held three or four times a day j for the little thing to sack, and a nest of j wood is made for it in the sheep pen. At no tiuie is it allowed to associate with j other dogs, or with the children of the j family. I'Yox this education it has no wish to leave the Hock, and just as an-1 other dog will defend his master, man, so will the dog defend sheep. It is amusing' to observe when approaching a lloek, how j the dog immediately advance barking and the sheep all close in his rear, as Iij round the oldest ram. These dogs are, also easily taught to bring homo the slu ep at a certain hour in the eveuitnr. Their! most troublesome Ism It when young is their desire to piny with the sheep, for in their sport they sometimes gallop the i poor things most unmercifully. The! shepheard dog comes to the house every, day for his meat, and m soon as it is given; him skulks away as if ashamed of himself. On these occasions the house dousi arc very tyrannical and the least of I hem j will attack ami pursue the stranger. The minute, however, the latter has readied! the flock ho turns round and begins toj bark and then all the house dogs take j quickly to their heels. In a similar man-! nor, a whole p:i?*k of hungry wild dogsj will scarcely ever venture to attack aj llock guarded by one of these faithful j shepherds. In this case the shepherd i dog seems to regard the sheep as his ltd-! low brethren and thus trains eontlilence ; n and the wihl dogs, though knowing that! sheep are in t dogs, hut are good to eat, yet when seeing them in a llock with a shepherd dog as their head, partly eon? nt to legard them as he does." Sheep. The crying need of Amc ican Agricul-1 ture to-day is a more general incorporation of the'sheep into the farming eeono-i my. More prohlie than horses or cattle,' as well as more tractable, subsisting on j scantier herbage, and reotiirirg lesssu-! pervision ; it claims the additional ad van-1 tage of "paying for its raising" in annual1 instalments of marketable fleece, pending* its growth to maturity. It is more readi ly transferred from one indosure to another, and is easily restrained by fenc?s which would prove 110 barrier against the encroachment of other farm stock. Itst light tread and love of repose warrant its! access to fields and pastures where tramp-' ing of cattle and tearing of begs would ! not be tolerated. It wasts less food in j proportion to the quantity consumed, and ' will hunt and utilize much that would otherwise be lost to the farmer. Yielding a return in both Jleeee and j flesh, it furnishes its owner with the dou-i ble advantage of catching a good market j for his product, requiring less water and , disposed to work for lis food. It is with ont a ,?eer when summer's drouth taxes j the farmer's resources for enabling bis; live stock- to maintain an average of thrift i and flesh.

Tho Si> failed wolf tooth in horses h & .small mdimohlary tooth, situated immediately in fruit <>!' tho ^ritidcfH molar teeth, nn ' its lino with these.

Aed1 lental diseases of tho eye are not nn-' Lr^uontly attributed to tho presence of* wolfs tcelh, This is an error. Tho only inonvchiencc caused by these teeth occu? vhen they diverge from their normal' ' traight position, when tho point may :iu>e soreness of tho cheek or of tlio mgue. Eventually, the wolfs teeth . >ul<i, by natural action, become quito bsorbed. iSlmald, however, any ineon- 1 fiiienfe occur irom their presence, they*;' iioiild ho removed. This can easily bo lono by a pair of small forceps. Tho usual method of punching them out with i chisel and hammer, not only causes un-V necessary pain to tho animal, but tho I gums and neighboring teeth are apt to bo injured thereby. During the process of dentition, the guins are often subject to an affection designated bunpas, which may lie said to consist of a tumid and inflamed appear^ ance rf the palate, and is no doubt in most eases the direct result of tho irritation set up in the teething process. Lampas is, however, an affection not byanymeao^. confined to tho young horse; it is often"* seen in tha aged animal, although not in so great a degree, or showing so much inflammation ; it may then be the result'of a kind of chronic irritation, or of indigestion. Very often, however, lampss in the horse's mouth depends for its ex-. istence on the fertile imagination of tho !>wneror the groom. Many of the latter, directly a horso is off its feed, at once ruslr to the conclusion that he has tho lampas they open his mouth, imagine the bars of the palate are swollen, and at once tako the horse to the blacksmith or the horso doctor to have them burnt down. -Tin* <>|>uiauun is j list it vttrieu lorin OJ VIVIse^K tion, unnecessary in character, devoid of!-' benefit, and cruel in the extreme. Any* man, whether veterinary surgeon, or horse o\vnerf who allows such a vile practice to he carried out, ought to have tho hot iron applied to the posterior part of hi* person. If the palate is really swollen,> : relief can he obtained by scarifying with a small lancct; and, if necessary, cooling medicines may be administered. This is tho best, the easiest, the most humane and sensible treatment.?Prairie Farmer. The First Calf. O /" It is ofien the ease, when a heifer lias her firstcalf, that the farmer thinks she will not give more milk than will keep her calf in good condition, and lets theqv, run together- to teach her the' mystery-6f being milked when she has her next calf. In this decision there are two mistakes that go far to spoil the cow for future usefulness. Cows are largely tho creatures* of habit, and with their first calf everjN thing is new and strango to them, and they readily submit to be milked, and think it ull ri^rht; but sutler them to run * with tho call' the first season, and a videos habit is established that they will hardly forgot in a lifetime. If they ever submit to be milked quietly, itisevident-r. ly under protest. Hut thero is a greater. * ( objection than this. The calf running with the cows draws the milk every hour ? or two, so'that the milk vessels are at no tim6 distended with milk, though tho quantity socretoil io a given time may bo * large. i!nt this is the natural time todis- . temi tne nunc ductsand expand the adder to a good rapacity for holding milk. When, with her next calf, you require the milk to he rciainnd twelve hours, the ud*-', der becomes hard and painful, and the < milk leaks from .lie teats, or more likely*. nature accommodates tho quantity of the milk secreted to the capacity to retain it, and the caw becomes permanently afctnalVtnilkcn Much of the fuljre character of a cow, therefore, depends on her treatment wi.li her ftrst calf, ???
