Evans; 1.1 An eminently practical and force!hie essa ! on "Farm Implements and Machinery?oi lv | wants-," was then read by Col. Wjllla.m I :* | Evans, of I>arlington. Starting out ^ith tli I saying of the celebrated Alderman Mich ?r "iiot to do anything by hand that could t done by horse, and not to do anything h horse that could be done by steam." Co o Kvans stated that the object of his essay wf to go further?"to tcach us not todoanythin '? by human labor that can be done by muchii i- cry." A<ter referring to the cease'ess struggle t iV substitute in work capital for labor, an .c 11 creby cheapen it, render It more efflciei k and thereby escupe the curso of Adam, an te : the great progress that has been made in tli (invention of lobor-SHviiig machines, the e s* isnyist said: "The benefits derived from m; i- chinery are (o systemlze and cheapen labo , j (o reduce the cost of production, to produc ,c J more to the hand, to cause uniformity nu ie | regularity in all our agricultural operation | and to employ an instrument which Isalwaj j ready and wiilihg, not given to strikes or i, demand for higher wages In the midst of ha vest. The objections to it are the substltutio J- | of capital for labor, the ac'ciunulation of va.1 ,n j landed estates In the hands of one man, th | destruction of peasant proprietors, wlik lc now seeins in the opinion of the world to t i j most conducive to good government and tl: j highfSt degree of human happiness; and th B- the forcing of men from the labors of th Held into the slums of the city, there to pic ** up a precarious living i>y degrading vifce to Whether ftie objections counterbalance th benefits admits of question. Ortalnly thi which enables one to cheapen food and clot I t ing, to supply the actual needs of the worl at a less cost is so far a blessing. That whic t>l produces with the labor of one what former I took ten and liberates the other nine from tl: toil of digging for bread, and permits them I I devote themselves to other employmen j whether of science, art or mechanism, is coi ducive to a higher civilization and great( I enlightenment and, therefore, more proUu itl I ihve of human happiness. in j FITNESS AND COST. st Hut in considering the question of the in " I of machinery two tilings are to be consideret 1 the fitness of the machine to the work an ? the cost of it. Upon this point Col, Evan ?iatd: The effect ol emancipation has been t n inake peasant proprietors of a lar^e portio ^ of the country. I uiay say without hesitatio r that at least eighty per cent, of our farmei t- are either as proprietors or renters what at railed one-horse farmers. To them'the coi 111 of a machine is a matter of great inomen rs one which would be cheap to a five or ter horse farmer would be dear to a one-horse; I fanner who plants only ten acres of sma 1P giain will not llnd It cheaper to buy a reap< than to cut by cradle, because the interest o 10 the cost or the machine will pay for all tii labor of harvesting the ten acres by bant and lie who plants but a few acres of cotto >e will llnd It cheaper to stick to the old pla of saving by hand than to expend twelve t c" fifteen dollars in a planter which though ie does the work better will in the end coi more. This is a piime consideration?or which meets us at the threshold of all In ' provenient and the disregard of which ha done more to retard the introduction i ). proper machinery on our farms than all oth< causes combined. The essayist referred t the great rush made for improved inachlner I.? . |.Qt.

MACHINERY h for farm purposes may be divided into fl\ ^4- elas-e-?machiiuS for preparing the soil. mi chines for p antlne. machines for culti vatini d l machines for harvesting, and machines f( preparing the ciop for market or use Th '5 most important woik on the tarrn i6 th i- proper preparation of the soft.

What wo want Is a thorough ii t- vertiim of the soil, covering completely th vegetable matter that, may be on the surfac *- liinu mat wild inc Miuiucdv v^ytuuuun; * 1(] force possible. The English idea of uerfei j ploughing is an inverted unbroken fnrro s. slice from end to end. Home very sensibl . and successful men contend that th plough should crumble as well as turn ov( t, I Ute soil. To produce the first effect the cni i iron turning plough is proper; to produce tli second the twisted shovel. AVe need nt pre ic cut only theoneor the other of these two. . | sppi\lc of my own county, one of small ftirni v" and full of stumps. Hut there Is here grct jt j room for Improvement.

Tho ] seed cottoR consist* of three equal proportions 1 j ,,r I?the lint, the hull and the kernel, The linti' ).! contains but a very small per cent, of mineral |' j or ash element, therefore does not materially 11 o exhaust the soil. The ash of tho hull coh-1J j tains about '1\<, per cent, of mineral matter! | which is rich in lime, potash and phosphoric |' (I j acid, but iu( the kernel of the seed lies thegerm ' ie j of greatest value both as to its feeding and fer- ' s. i tilizlng properties, adapted to the various [i?! grades of animals, according to condition und j r |appetite.

We propose, then, to { it | suggest a system by which the greatest profit ' i can be derived from the use of the cotton seed ! a 1 by utilizing every particle of the seed to the r. best advantage. The seed contains about 35 n i per cent.of oil; there is vo fertllizingelement 1 .it; In the oil. The oil extracted from It is a first ie ! class lubricator, which has very materially af- ' ji | fected the price of all oils since its introduc- \ lt. Hon Into the markets. It Is valuable for its ,e! lubrlcativeas well as non-hardening and non j ie; drying properties. It has been practically ,e! demonstrated by the mills now in operation k that the oil can be profitably extracted, and s I when refined It is second only to the best ol- 1 ic Ive oil of the Kant, while about three-fourths, j! it I probably SO per cent, of the olive oil of com| inercc Is cotton seed oil. .It bids fair indeed to ,j i supersede olive oil. It has found Its way into 1 1)! the remote mountain villages of Italy, and to ; v ' such an extent is It mixed and sold for purfe ' iej olive oil that the Italian Government IS eno; deavoring to impose a heavy tarifl on cotton j t i seed oil. There was exported from the Uni,11 ted States to Europe, in lKTi), 5,237,724 gallons of 1 >r cotton seed oil of .the value of nearly $2,510,- ! i*. ' 000, ho that the cotton planter b&s becOmo a , competitor of the olive grower. t'OTTOS-SF.ED BUTTER. I !C| Science lias established the fact that good, i [.: whdlesotneedlble buttercau bo produced from i J ! cotton-seed oil. Being purely vegetable In Its i is ! character it is free from the objections to oleo-1 0j margarine. It therefore occupies a higher |' n ' position and must bccoine a stronger compel-11 i) ltor. I rs COTTON-SEED LARD. e Science has also demonstrated the fact that !! st cotton-seed oil is equal If not superior to the j t, besl leaf lard tor all culinary purposes. In j i- this shape how it will affect the interests of |J a the stock growers and the price of corn In the ! II great West remains to be seen. ir Assuming the average cotton crop to be n 6,000,1(00 bales of 500 pounds weight, we have j' ie 1,000 pounds or one-half ton of seed to each i J. bale, which would give us 3,000,000 tons to the ' n j crop. Alter deducting 15,000,000 bushels or ; n 1210,000 tons as seed to plant the crop we have j' irlleft as a surplus 2,7(>0,000 tons. Instead of it throwing large bulk of seed on the waste heap j' ?t to ferment and dceompose, losing the most ie valuable part of Its Ingredients as a fertilizer, l- or placing it as a dressing on small grain and I s so Only partly utilizing it, it can bfe shown I )f that the entire bulk cun bo utilized Without I :r' destroying or affecting its fertilizing proper-1 o | ties. With the mills now in use there can be ' y | extracted from a ton of seed thirty-five gal Ions J >r I of crude oil, worth nbdut forty cents per gald ! Ion, or SH per ton, which would make the oil n i from 2,700,00*) tons of seed worth SIS,510,000. j ,o ' The oil has no fertilizing properties, anil after e-iit has been extracted we still have In bulk | i- i the original amount of fertilizing material af- j ter extracting an element worth in round! | numbers S3K,000,000. After extracting the oil | | there remains from 25 to .15 per cent, of cotton j e | seed cake, worth, according to the lowest estla" i mate tor its feeding value,$iWt506,000. Accord-?j ing to Dr. Wolfe, of Germany, the cotton .seed [ ,r i meal is worth 841.40 per toll. The meal In its i ie concentrated form Inay be mixed with straw i' 'e; or course buy which could not otherwise be ,K used, or the straw or the grain crop can be fed n I with it to better advantage. And after feed-] ' jing the meal to supply the demand of the i 161 home market there Is left in the stalls a com- ! p? post worth, according to the estimate of Dr. J Lawes, S27 per ton. i'locing the value at 820: per ton, and for the 000,000 tons consumed we ** | huve a compost valued at ?13,800,000. A mix- j le lure of twopnrta of Indiao corn to one of cotejton seed meal would give a very desirable I r i food for beef cattle or mutton. ? I COTTON SKEI) FUEL. | K-j The hnll of the cotton seed is used for fuel 11 and for other purposes. The mill crop, or the is j amount of lint usually left on the seed, is estt i tlmated to be about 3 per cent., that Is to say.; e | for every hundred pounds of lint on the seed ( ri the producer receives 07 pounds of lint.

( ,r With regard to the fertilizing value of cot- < y ton seed Mr. Humbert said that all nature re- f e quires 1b that the refuse, or the part not enn- t 81 sumed by the organs of life, be returned to the ( a I soil. An exhausted soil cannot produce a per- , d i lect plant, therefore the product of the plant 1,, v : musi I e Imperfect. If the soil Is deficient in j ( j , lime or potash the plant will be deficient and j j e; the animal that consumes it will be deficient t in the same ratio. It would be poor economy j lt! to return the cotton seed to the soil, but the j n ] seed must be utilized and thci product or re- j ls! fuse returned in tlife form of a valtiable com- , n j t>nst: Jt is. a reproach to nie farmers or the cotton bel( toatl-jw their cotton seed with its f v | valuable Ingredients to bfe shipped to Europe, c ~e to fatten American cattle and enrich her soil, j n j We consume the dross und give awav the; e! cold The lint contains very little fertilizing i j e\ i properties. and lt is u very desirable form In j t v which the product of .the crop should leave I j j ! the farm. The seed should be Utilized with ( ? j profit and the product still returned to the c ,1 soil. Mr. Edwaru Atkinson has created a sen- f a j satton by asserting that*the lint is not the j ! most valuable part of the cotton crop, but that c I] | the stein or cottpn stalk by analysis has been 11 ir 1 found to contain iriore phosphate of lime and j v} phosphate of potash than the seed. Ilesug- ? Bests that the stems or stalks be ground and r jj | mixed with cotton seed meal or other sultu- j, e ! hie forage and used us stock food. Such a sys- f f tem, the utilization of lint, seed and stalk, L will make the cotton crop the most exhaus-1 ? 0 j tlve crop cultivated. According trt the estl-1 , e i mate mude by I'rof. White, o( Georgia, on an j ( ? I acre of ground cultivated In cotton, that I. * j would produce only 3(X) pounds of seed cotton, t,' there Is left In and on the soil vegetable mat-1, e ! ter, in tiie stalk, leaves and bolls, containing I f I of phosphoric acid 9 pounds, potash 20 pounds, | f lltne'JT pounds, magnesia? pounds and nltro- ia gen I!) pounds, making a total ol 82 pounds ofiv vegetable matter, while the seed contains 15 L is pounds of the same ingredients in different I v proportions,and the lint only pounds. 11 n Such a system Is not to he commended unless I d j utilized on the farm, and the product return- t n ed direct to the soil in such form as will sup- i s 'ply the soli with the amountof humus and , o; fertilizing properties that Is contained in the j ? n : crop. If the wants of the plant are not in the i 111 soil thfcy must be supplied, ami this knowl- j j i; j edge is to be obtained by analysis.

Front Hallam, Trinity Church, Abbeville. "Ip&yanto you, sVroar uotnt?n * ? But iry; lor whatsoever is more than these com?th of evil."?Jit. Matt. 5: 34 and 37. You will see from my text that I have selectHi the sin of profanity for your consideration ,o-day. 1 call It a sin. because it Is evident, to ill who mix freely In male society that It luts i higher rank, among the things of earth; ind that it is not only variously esteemed as in innocent luxury, an ornament of spetcii, ind an assertion of personal force; hut that it s even regarded by some simple folk as the iriiie and crown of manhooi). Hut the scripture Is explicit in its sho\vlrg hat piVifanlty Is sin. That i.t is a taliitrp .hltvcr. That it is corrupt. That It Is of ll':? same blood, as all other sin ; and that It there'ore Is burdened with the family dishonor. This is ulain from the single text that I have ised ; and In that text we have what l!> really he strongest possible argument against, pjoanlty. Whatever our opinions tlbout it may be; lowever custom.may endorse it; and society anile at if, and virtue wink at it; and solemn Judgment fiass it by: the authority ol Jhrist. Is against it; and His command has :one forth in those emphatic words,"1 say .into you swear not at all." This Is certainly reason sufficient why all irofane men should reform, and all others should guard themselves against profanity. [.o?ic should be as nothing In the presence ol It vine authority. Public sentiment shon d )c counted as a cipher. Habit should he cotitcd as a Justification of the sin. There is lot so much In all of these as in the merest jrejith of the divine law. Hut human nature is wilful, and if it learns >bedlence at nil, will lenrn It m us own way. positive authority ami positive comftinnils nust he set aside. And profane lips will iniist upon a moral Impression, and an intellect ual revolution, to clear away the sliilns which the spirit of God would wtjsh away In he pure white fountain of God's truth Prounity therefore calls for an argument and the irgument must begin with a definition, which [ will now give. 1. Profanity Is In its proudest sense is the le>:radatlon of any holy thinx. It may be a material, menial or spiritual thing. Hut n ,he sense in which I use it to-day; and which is the most common one; ills the utterance )f language, so degrading to sacred things, ind s{5 ri (Tensive to reverence, as to have been >et 'apart and branded unholy by common jonstnt. This embraces the different vices ol jurslns a,nd swearing, which are frequently confused with one another, doubtless because h'cy are as it were, kindled spirits and twin progeny of the father of sin. l!ut to curse is to utter an anathema; to l ik-olce a penalty; to denounce with bitter dc< 'ire that the one denounced shall suffer, While to swear, is to take an oath by the sanctlty of some higher power; to call upon >ne greater and worthier than self to wijncsf ?. vow; to use the name of the Deity upon light occasion, and withoutadequate purpose: tnd to litter the formula of an oath in connection with the throne of God. the earth which is Ills footstool, the altar and gold of the temple, the head of man, the gift of sacrifice, or anything whatsoever. There was considerable dignity In the old time oath, and there was a terrible ineanins in the old time curse. They were used as solium sayings, and they carried with tlieni o solemn force. The vow of David at liethel I'he vows of Samuel and 15li. The vowsol David and of Solomon, taken in the name ol T u?n pulled in to witness between them, and their duly to Flim, to the LJhiireh and to the Ktate. were worthy of the men and the occasion?. The curse of Balaam upon the kingdom of Moab; the curses ol Kbal upon the enemies of God; and the itiathemas of David upon those who fought igainst Him were the awful utterances ol Drophecy and of the divine decrees. Apd In later ages, when reverence hud changed to superstition ; and in profanecoun tries wher?? deities h?d been mulilplled beyond all reck<.nine, the oath and the curse were begotten by the religious principle and mien swore with a serious meaning by the rods of that domain which covered the sub feet of their oaths. The soldier swore by Mars, the sailor l?y Neptune, the lover by Vp> uus. the reveller by Bacchus. And with all sf them the oaths changed as the subject :hanged. They swore by Juplterand Juno, by /Eolus and Appolio, by Ceres or Astartc, as jeeasion offered. Hut. as I say, the religious Idea was bound up in their oaths. Tilt Ihought of the deity was in everything. The Joctrine of Providence as applied to the varl3us deities was always before them; and how ever low the moral standard of these people however violence and lust were Justified by Llieir religion, there was at least a point te Ll,rnil\i.!incd ti\ lhf?lr mirsPK 2. But all this In the popular hnbll has passed away. Oaths are retained hi their se iIoub form before the courts of Justice; ant' vows in their solemn sense are uttered in tin presence and in the name flf God ; but cursei In their ancient character have almost entire Iy gone. The chair of the Roman Pontiff it Uie only point from w hich a curse will daretc Issue; and the catechism of Trent and the do urees of councils are the only fulmlnatloii! that will hold aloft the awful words "Let him be anathema."' Prophecy has faded away md inspiration has ceased, and none but th< Italian Heerarch will venture to usurp th( the pjerogatlve of God. Hut while the day of solemn swearing i< rone: the day of pitiful profanity has con>( ' ** ao t It <c tmnn o flinticond l(n*< t.hlll never dreamt of solemnity. The curse is th< jflspringof the pettiest passion in him whe lias scarcely thought of its Weight. Men swore In t)ie olden time with sense and plir post; but now they swear with utter vncultj :>f brain, and without the shadow of objeel upon which thelroathsmay fall. Forty timet j day will a man swear; ami as many times c Jay will he utter the sheerest nonsense. lie will swear when he Is angry, and (hen agalr when he Is In a good humor. He will sweat when he Is drunk, and again when he Is so tier. He will swear In his dignity, and after ward he w'll spin a yarn or crack a Joke will: xn oath. And he has a boundless range foi Ills favorite occupation. He ha* the deitieso svery age at his command ; he lias cveiy sub ect tnat was ever broached by bumar thought; he can soar untrammelled Into tlx realms of imagination ; and he ha.sathlsdls posal every variety of profanity that In tin flow evolution of the ages has been brought Ibrlh. But I fcartlmt I may hemlsunderstooc In saying that he swears without a purpose [ 'or really lie has the purpose, but falls'to ac Eomnlish 11. Anil to show you the purposes possible to modern swearing I will proceed t< muinerutc them. First, there Is wit. And they must be cholc( spirits who adopt It. They must have riser ibove the common vehicles of wit, bccnus< they pass them by. They must have a hlghei jrder of brilliancy than the moral humorlsi aecattse they disdain his paths as though thej ivere Inspired. They scorn an Innocent pun they aVold a little harmless sarcasm; the} will hot Indulge in playful irony. The smiles md parallels, and metaphors of humor havt no taste to them; and they fasten upon pro ranity, and use it with a ringing laugh that l.? proof conclusive that it is pregnant with thai Jirect and overwhelming pungency whlcl: marks It as the very queen of wit. I have heard men hall another'.vith a curse; oueS' Lion hi ill with a curse; applaud him with e nine; and walk artiHn arm with him hold i..~ Willi lilni thai. Kiiarkles from etui to end with curses. I have heard hem tell anecdotes whose sole point whs an >ath. I have heard them utier exclamations md with anecdote and exclamations startk their company Into the heartiest peals o laughter, because the speaker was brilllanl inough to take the name of God in vain, or i< jse an imprecation that an idiot or a savage sculd conceive as readily as he. And the interesting part of this form of wit [iclstn is that It never weare away, and ii ierves upon all occasions. It never ceases tc ae laughable; though a man may hear it. all Juy long from year to year. Other forms o [minor die out. The veriest Jewel of a Joke wen though put In different settings will sooner or later lose its lustre. But the llghto profanity never goes out. To many a man 11 s quite as funriy to-day as it was ten and twenty years ago. And if he wants to make iiimself agreeable to his friends : and he Is a ittle short of subjects; or he wishes to relate some incident to enliven the heavy mbmenls ne has only to assert ah oath here and anoth ;r there to give iheconversatlod a flavor; and ;onclude his little narration with a rousing piece of Billingsgate, and he will literally jflngdown the house. He will find it a glo lous substitute for every manner of print. It is really amnzihg to see how men of Intel' igence and strength will endorse the Idea hat profanity Is smart. How they will smile .vlth consciousness when It is laid at theli loor. How they will tell it as a capital Joke :bat a little swearing slipped out In the pres :nce of the minister. With what Infinite :huckle they will say how fortunate It was hat the minister and the ladles were not iround, when they were guilty of that fascinating style of speech which at the very mo nent they are proclaiming with pride. 3. Now some of yoa may think that this if jverdrawn. The ladies may think that I am lescriblng the sentiments of tramps and vagibonds?the filth of the earth and the onicouringof all things. But the picture Is not >vcrdrawn. I speak that which I do know; ind testify that which I have seen. I am deicrlbing gentlemen of the first water, and rcntlehlen or education and culture. How hey can torture themselves Into such uttertnc<"s;orhow they can blind their minds to lie folly and emptiness or this oonsiea wit, it s Impossible to say; but the world at large mows that this is true even if the ladles do lot. They not only endorse by many words and imlles the Idea that profanity Is bright, but iven where they do not regard it as positively unny they use it as an ornament of rhetoric. There is then beside the witty oath the rheorical oath. There 19 no claim in it to more han a twinkle of humor, barely enough to ;ive spice to the speech. But then It is a flow rof language. It relieves the dull monotony >f ordinary talk. It adorns the landscape of onversation. as it were, with a lovely form. C the genuine rhetoric Is absent, it supplies in artificial kind thai is at least equally ae:eptable. And then it is a splendid vehicle or emphasis. There is nothing that approachis It in this capacity. All argument and logic md vlfeor of thought, and flights of genius, ire mute and silent in the presenco of the >nth of emphasis; and before them all it vlelds its wonderful power as unabashed as in Innocent in the presence of a philosopher. Vnd when a man is destitute or all these orms of emphasis, he can cnll iu the oath vlth the happiest possible effect Beside this there is the oath of ventilation1 vhlch passion wrings from him,as it seeks an ititlet. The man becomes suddenly possessd; he loses his balance; he moves fiercely ibout blinded by the power of his wrath. He lemonstrates the truth of that pointed saying it Horace thai "Anger is brief madness;" and ic plunges headlong into the folly of swearng. Then once more there Is the oath of manly >rkle, in which the youth asserts his title to idrniratlon. 116 is not quite certain of his lositlon until he can swear openly and In tyle. And then the bluer the profanity the arger he grows. But this strange mlsapprelenslou Is not confined to youth; I have seen t In those who had long since passed the perlid of Verdancy, and were far along in man's state. Men who proclaimed their manhood is they thought by swearing. It was the hoot lous characteristic of one who ? ears ago, >ul for a political accident would have been he Chief magistrate of this country. It was iqually notorious as the habit Of one of the eaders of the Southern army. And It Is not urprislng In view of such prominent examlies where talent and profanity were Joined, hat the one should be mistaken for the other md that profanity should tie used in the fond miigluatlon that It Is the evidence of greatiesS. It Is not surprising when men of trength and position pride themselves upon t, rhnt Inftoeentbut very thoughtless women hcnilrt, as I have heard them.Jest, with an i|i>ally evident pride that their husb.indsattd heir brothers were heard on such and such in occasion to startle the air with their blasiheiny. 4. lint you may ask. Is there nothing but idicule and sarcasm In the argument against irofanlty ? Far from It, my fi lends, these are he very leastagaiiisl It, though they may be ery weighty with the guilty ones. 1 will not enlarge upon the fact that profauty of ten brings pain and sorrow where men east wish to inflict It. I will riot dwell upon he picture of the sainted mother weeping iver the wickedness of theson; or the loving l ife sick at hearf that lips she loves should be o stained witli Vice. 1 wish Id repeat, ir there Is repetition irt it, chat everybody knows as well as 1, if thety k'ould only stop to think of it, that profanity s Senseless folly. It is folly to b'aeken conersatlon, with the devil's ornaments. It Is nlly to spoil rhetoric with the Constant introluetlon of prbffthelrrelvvancles. It Is folly to ry to make attempts at brilliancy with noth og but the smoke of brimstone. Jt Is folly to peak what lias no lingering flavor of mealing it>!?. To swear where there Is nothing to / Swear nbout. To cursc when (line Is no cursc / In the heart. To curse some inanimate tiling \ tnut cannot feel the power of a curse. To cursc 0110 whom the vile effects cannot reach, and to invoke damnation when it is almost, comic to see that you haven't the shadow of J power to enforce the curse. But It is something wgirsc than folly. It la degradation.

"Blazed trci s." to mark the coursc, - are succeeded by a highway. The foot-path ' or bridle-path is enlaced Into the wagon , " rond. As population and wealth increase, , the rudejappilancesgive way to more-substan- , tial structures. The civilization of a people ' mav be approximately by the character and condition of the roads. , ! The vulue of good roads and the Importance 1 : of keeping them in a good condition can [ hardly lie over-estimated. They are made to L : reduce the tractive forcc to the least possible ' limit, so as to make travel and trattlc easy | " ittid expensive. "The tractive force Is the 5 power required to move u vehicle and load on ' u horizontal road." If steep grades, holes, " :*uts, uncvenness, <fcc., Increase the tractive 5 force, then tho travel must be slower and the 1 load must he lighter. As you approach the j the horizontal and improve the nardness and i j smoothness of the road-bed, speed and the load ! can be Increased. A distinguished engineer , says: "It may be remarked, by way of comI parlson, that If fifty horses are just sufficient to conduct a given traffic upon a given length L of a very dry and smooth broken-stone road, ' it will require seventy-one horses to conduct 1 the same titittle upon an equal legnth of tbe 1 same road in a moist or dusty condition ; one " hundred and twelve horses If the road be : ' covered with dust and mtid; while upon the l same length of solid earthen causeway cov' orcd with gravel one and one-half Inches | 1 thick, two hundred and lorty horses would be j ! necessary to accomplish the same work." * s\ vuiume vviiuiu uuinuiuuc i-; nt-ui <>t v?*v 1 healthful Influence of this creative atrency ! " upon production, travel, revenue, wealth and I ' comfort, We complain of an oppressive anil \ Iniquitous protective tariff, of the heavy ex" actions of internal revenue, c>f burdensome 1 city levies, and never tire of jeiemaids on " "bloated bondholders," and yet cost of traiiM[ portation Is the heaviest tax our people pay. It Is tax on industry, on exchange, on con" sumption. ' The wealth of a State, as ot a rerson, con, slats In excess of production over consump1 tion. Everything that Incrctt.-ei the quantity * of commodities obtained In exchange for any ' result of industry, cncourages production and * Increase* wealth. Speaking alter the manner ' nl the science of wealth, a product Is any, thing got ready for sa'e,and for the purposes of this paper we limit to material things got! ' ready for sale. It seems too obvious for argu; ment that what interferes with legitimate i ' production hinders the accumulation of , wealth, and what faclilies production increases wealth. Pro<lucts may bo numerous) ; and prospectively valuable, but without immediate value or price,because they arc not! ; where they can bfc sold. To give marketable! value, biiycr and seller must be brought to-j gether. What restricts the deli very of commodities, or make delivery as to time or I quanlty uncertain, puts restriction upon saie and therefore upon value or price. If tlie buyer and seller be put into communication, | and the commodity be readily and chiaply I deliverable, then some of the most Sfcrious | impediments to trade tire removed: i A farmer grows and gathers crops and pre1 paresfor market, hut the market has 1<> be ' sought; Miles Inn;rvene between the produ I ppr nnd the hiiver. The cost of getting the I crop to maiket haw to be puld by the fanner, J and is to Hint extent a diminution of proilts 1 unci n tn:t on production. Jf the cost of getI ting to market equal tlie cost of raining, then - thnt crop must bo abandoned. If remoteness froin buyer nnd tbe cost of transportation lie " so great.-is that no profit can be derived from producing,then the lurid will have no mari! ketable vulue. Good roads nnd cheapness of ' transportation will enhance tlie value nf land I and make farming profitable. Remote neigh borhoods nre brought together, tradeand friend . are stimulated, and the country prices heara [ ( due relation to twon prices. A market Is orerated for surplus produce, value Is imparted II by creating a demand, and the better and i less costly the t ransportation the larger Is ! the sphere of demand. ' This matter of common roads needs In? creased nnd continuous attention. To It the i [ country should glv* thought and labor and [ money, improved roads, with mile posts nnd : signboards, would be wise economy, Ench i county should havenu engineer, with term i of oflice sufficlenllv lunar to*nrotect from Don-11 | ular caprlco and p-ejudlce, anil ivlth compen-11 '[ sat'.on sufficient 1o ensure competency. Hlsr li duties should be to superintend the construe- 1 ; it Ion of new roads and the maintenance and! [ repali of old ones. There should he some sys- I 1 tern In opening and In working. The present i ' method of working Is execrable. Travel andji ! i trafl:c are subordinated to whim, laziness and I 1 stinginess. It Is true cconomy 10 builtt agoojl I wild and keep It in repair.

A VIRGINIAN. j How to Can Fruit. As tho season for canning fruit is now at! ' hand, wo present the following: First pre-j, pare the fruit by picking it over, peeling, or j whatexer else is required. Place it neatly in 1! 1 the Jars In layers, putting suxer between the ) layers. Use none but the best refined or while.' , sugar, as yellow is apt to impart n disagree-13 able taste and color. It is hardly necessary to I [ add any water, though that may be done if I you deem it best, according :o the kind of'} fruit. I'laco a lew straws or small sticks across tt;e bottom of your boiler, put in water, ? and set it on the stove to boll. Bring the J water tc a boiling point, and let It continue J there as long as may be required for that kind I of fruit. Set the jars on a table to cool, and when t ie fruit is nearly cold apply the 11 tops and screw them down tlgl tly. t or olier-! * j ties, black berries, strawberries, whortleber- : ; rles, grapes, plums, gooseberries an.d raspbtr-11 1 rles boll ten or twelve minutes, and put a half j J J pound of sugar to the quart of berries. For 1 1 " peaches and quinces boil twenty minutes and 1 f I use the sumequaii tity of sugar as for the small: J ' fruits. Pears and tomatoes will require a I ! half hour or more to boll, and less Sugar Is : ? required for them, especially the tomatoes.!,1. I Examine the Jars in a few days, and if any off, I the ifult shows signs of working set it on the 1 i I stove and boll again, taking care to remove| the cover of the Jars before doing so, or the r j steam will break them asunder. Give time;1 to cool before screwing the tops down. The j Jars must be air tight,or the fruit will not! j keep well.?Jiural Mensenger.

Now when wo UKe run I11I1K UUI ITUIIUII mu llltt.-v-vwi uic finr le ?irc distressed from nn increased prlceof , endstuffs,and under such a fatal delusion ' ic country lias been Kolng from bad to worse ntll the people awoke last year when rough'- to dire necessity. " Man's extremity 1 God's opportunity." They did their duty In covering the earth Itli grots,and have been blessed In this pood nrk, some sixty and come an hundred fold, i rhat Is there to make It so nhehominal that iIk generation will not behold the like fin? We know that the early and the latter rain, id every bounty are the gilts of the Creator ' worlds and the Preserver of men, and due these fruits wisely,may restore to eaith lufcn of It# primal beantv and plenty.

Turnip Cnltnrc; Mr. J. M. Pruitt, of West Point, Miss., rltas to the Southern Live Stock Journal on le subject of turnip culture, and says the ouud should be well prepared, to begin] ith. Good rich bottom land Is best, though | >od cow-penned upland will answer very < ell; or in place ol cow-penning the land; ?}" oe enricueu oj a cuui|>usi uiuuc ui iivui, iru stable manure.

In dropping 10 seed In hills It .is best to mix with flour; at.you mflySefe wherfe the sepd are. If you { tve lafid prepared and drills opened, very k ttle will answer for sowing. Sow from 20th July to 1st of October. When lly up thin o'Ut to three or lour In a hill, you sow early; run a plougH through and :ep the weeds out. ] A turnip crop ,put In and managed on this an will be sure to succeed, giving you a odnct that will treble In value any other r>p you have, supply you with turnips and eons fdr five months In the year, and at a ason of the year when you can have 1 ireely any vegetables. These turnips grow I winter and are never pithy till they begin j run to seed. Will make from three to Ave indred bushels to the acre. Mr. Pruitt docs not tell us what variety of rriip he prefers, heice wo suppose he Is not rtieular ou that score, sowing any ot the indard kinds. For early we have ourself uully sown the flat Dutch, and for late the obc. The latter grows deeper in the ouiid than the former, and hence is Ifcss idle to be injurid by frost. ( Anti-Stock Law Democrats. [Barnwell Sentinel.] n the Sentinel today appears an address to b Anti-Stock Law Democrats of Barnwell unly; it Is sinned by the representatives of e Democratic party whose only difference to it of the regular organization is, that they j working for the repeal of a law which T sy regard as burdensome to them as citizens i d tax payers of South Carolina. The ad-; ;ss also embodies a clause which calls io- . Lber, In Convch'tlon, the Anti-Stock Law I mocrats ot the County ou Wednesday, the ' li day of September. f such a plan Is adopted for conducting the imary contest as will Insure them an equal ance with other candidates of the party,1 J :y, we believe, can be induced to go Into I 'contest, should the regular organization I m an tee them perfect fairness. We ure not J vised as to wliut their action will be if this , Jenlcd them. We think then that a plan < eeable to all members of the Democratic rty should be decided upon, and let the re-1 t ot the Primary contest be the choice of u partv?in other words, the ticket of the rty. We are quite certain, that if the Auli- ? >ck Law men enter the Primary race, they II be fouud arrayed In support >>f the ticket ire elected. Is this not worthy of the con-' erallon of the County Exccutlvo Commitof the Democratic parly? We think so; ol thing can be lost by such a course, but in probability, a great deal may be gained. 5; > say, by all means, let the party stand sol- J} y together in November. g, to Ignorance That Is Not Bliss.
