A WORD FOR DOCTOR ADGER. ,< * The Question of Dust, and the Article Into Which that Commodity; wan Manufactured I<ou? Ago. JCriUor Prexx ami Runner : | Dr. Adger, in a recent contribution of his to j the Newt a?irt Courier, "freely criticises audi Si condemns our General Assembly" for what,! on close inspection, we think will l>c seen to be n simple dlU'ering with him. His whole a.--1 tide, we think, needs "free criticism." Wedoj not propose to dose Dr. Adger with nnv fill-: some flattery. We will not tell litni that we , think he is by far the best minister we have ?*ver had in South Carolina, but for him we' have tne highest respect, and believe that of j'll Presbyterians, he is tiie most tenacious of his own opinions. In the laic Synod, "the accidental majority' would not suffer debate," A-c. We suppose! from the manner In which the Doctor mentions this fact that he thought it wrong. We I wonld like to know if the same parlinmenta-' ry tactics are not equally objectionable In the South Carolina Presbytery. We have heard that it was tried when the report of a com in it-' tee wns under discussion. The committee wns | composed entirely of members of "our side," I and embodied Dr. .Vigor's views. If proper to shut off debate then, it was proper to shut' off debate in the Synod. "In fiict," Dr. Adgerj says, "it is very apt to be the ease that the ml-1. j? nority Is in the right." Dr. Adirer was one of' ?& ' the majority in the Presbytery. We would; ask him to apply his remark there. "As to! that word dnst. our side, with Dr. Woodrow in ji the lead, affirms nothing." ""nr side" docs!, not construe that passage. Oh.no! but cither |: they believe it was dust, or that it was not ! dust. If they claim the right not. to form an j opinion, let them remember that others have 11 iin equal right to know their own minds and ? not to stand silent. The question of time isj out of place. The creator knows not time, (j Ho alone fs the measure of eternity. How i long Adam's body was In formation we nei-1 < ther know nor care. The Bible says, "the Ix>rd God formed man out of the dust of the j i ground." Ilaveothers not the right to believe j this dust was inorganic dust? "Our side" i claims the right to disbelieve it?<Io they not therefore, believe it was organic? "Consist- j 'ncy is a Jewel." And let it be understood 11 Sthat neither libelous dreams, nor modernized | plavs. bringing into ridicule the opinions' < which a majority (accidental though it be) of i < our church hold, though these dreams and ' < pluys be printed and distributed with great!' glee in a paper claim int.- to be achnrcb paper,; i published by a man said by his friends to be J ] above reproach, can ever bring any credit, on j i t-hc cn?sB tn which Dr. Ad^er has proven soli able a warrior. ~ X. ; WHAT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE DONE. ^ | !: Jglpllegence is 110 Security Ajyainst r ^rlmc?The Moral and Religious ! J tV Training in Wherein Lies our I: | .Safety. j; CntJioJic Mirror. l "How groundless the popular notion Ik, that j' lie Increase of intwHIgviioe lessens crime, has | E"> - "been frequently shown in these columns. ' Kxamples crop up every day. Take Massa- I cbusctts as an instance, since it is the only p .State which gives accurate statistics. In that |r K State the public school system has advanced :1 4o what Its admirers think the point of per- | i_; . > fcctlon. Never was there a better educated 1 1 population. Yet in lS5i>, when the population 1 of the State was 994.514, there was J,216 persons I In prison, or one to every 804 of the popula- 1 lion; whilv in 1^0. when the population had ! * ' Increased to 1,783,085, the prisonersfnunibered '[ orotic In 187. In other words, the pro-;* portion of criminals lncrcael, in thirty " year% nensly double. Nor can this enormous I Jncrcasoof crimc be referred'to the influx of 18 foreigners, nssome writers flippantly assert |J In their gliUwing generalities. In 1850 the I1 C native population wjis 827,430. and the native 8 prisoners U53, or one to every l,267v In I8f0 the i 8 native population was 1,338*594, and the native, J erlminals2,175, or one in G15. Thus, the na-]* lives have more than held their own in the; ' race for the penitentiary, and are several ' points ahead of the foreign element. ' It Is no extravagance to chaise this flight- 1 I /ul criminality aaainst the public-school sys- ' 1cm. It has cultivated the Intflicct, ami nei- } 1 tl?o honH nnd tho honrt- With PV- i ' i <>ry step it has taken nearer to the ideal set !c liefore it, It has been alile to t uni out a larger;5! and a larger crop of criminals.

I EVERY DAY AFFAIRS TALKED ABOUT IN AN ENTERTAINING WAY. ? ? ? The Way to Success and to Torlutie lilazcil Out. so Tlutt the Simile it ns I'tain as tlie RoskI to Market. In I he southern portions of the cotton belt, oats at:d wheat may still he sown; in some section* it. is the best, time to stjirt these crops.! Hut in the northern portions of the belt, it is . too late to sow anything but wheat, rye and ; barley?too late for clover iiihI the winter Brasses. Cotton planters delay the sowing of wheat, until the cotton is picked out, both he-1 cause, while that work Is progressing it at>-; sorbs all the available, labor, and because wheat- usually follows cotton, ami the ploughing in cannot tic done till the cotton is out of the way. This makes the sowing of wheat j come on a little inter than is desirable. Fear' of the fly,Justifies delay til' alter frost, but the sooner after Irost wheat is sown the better. The plant needs time while the weather is, still mild to develop roots and push them \ve!l Into the soil and set a good strong foothold, .some think that deep covering of urainsj makes them stand cold better; our oh?erva-t tions do not accord with this belief. Wheat, oats, etc., have little stem beneath Iho surface. ?if covered deep they soon throw out a circle , of roots near the surface and the p:irt below j dies. Hut while the stem docs not extend; downwards much, the roots may, and often i do, ficnetrate the soil to considerable depths, j This not only establishes the plant firmly, hut | puts the ends of the roots (which are their, main food-absorbing part) beyond the reach j of the severest cold. In our climate the Krouna is nui oiicn irokcn jiiok' ?m.ui ,... , tlnee iiiclics; only in very extreme crises does the freezing extend to a depth of five or six I inches. Hoot growth, therefore, ean go on | most of the time during winter; and this it! does, thongh the part above ground makes I little progress. The roots are gathering mate-1 rial* and laying the foundation during winter j for a vigorous growth of the plant in early | spring; and this is just what is needed, in our. climate, to hasten maturity and cseapn the rust. The greater yield of fall, as compared ] with (spring oats, illustrates the advantages of j this root growth during the latter pari, of au*| tumn and through the winter. The part nbove around may he sharply cut down by the cold, but that which is beneath and at the | surface goes on accumulating, and storing' material out ot which the stalk, blades and! far rapidly develop in the spring; just as t lie j flowering stalk of a turnip shoots up in a few j flays from its enlarged underground root, in ' ivhich material lor growth had been stored the preeedinz autumn. i it is gratifying to uote an Increasing desire ; ind disposition among our farmers to raise,' needed supplies at home, l&rc.ul and im ut iie.-Jd the list of these, and as we are a wheatfating people, it is extremely desirable that.; varieties adapted to our climate should be dis-1. covered or developed. Every plant we culti-j] uite does, or may, acquire special adaptation 1 to any locality In whie'i it can grow at all. 1 N'ote the varieties of corn North and South, j' the rust-proof oat of the South and the sever- j il kinds at the North. Rye from the Northwest fails utterly in the South, ?ven though ?ne cannot detect any ditlVrcnce in appear- j nice of seed or other parts of the plant. The J | ame holds in case of fruits and vegetables.! rt'ith these facts before us, is it unreasonable ' o suppose that a variety or varieties of wheat. | night he developed at the South, thoroughly idapted to its soils and climates? Why . should wheat form an exception? It has- been j 1 ocalized in other portions of the world: the!' tfedlterrantnn wheats grown for crnturies in ' iouthern Europe and in Egypt, are ir.arkei arieties compared with those of northern egions. Why may not the cotton States lave corresponding varieties adapted to;, hem ? If farmers would examine their wheat i, lelds carelully before harvest, and when rust j. Prevails, gather the heads of those stalJcs rhlcli arc entirely* or mo^t nearly free from I ust. sow the seed from these by themselves he uext season, and again select as before, I ind continue doing thus for a few years, we ] i iavelittle doubt a rust-proof variety could be! t stahlishcd. Further selection of the most 1 M'olifie stalks wit li best developed seed, would , t sarry the improvement still farther. Time, voutd be saved and chances of suecoss in-| Teased by starting with varieties?like theileditorranean?which have already become1;; iceustomed to warm climates. j In the meantime, those varieties may hcj own which the concnrivnt testimony or a!, leiuhborhood shows to have succeeded best. 11 it.. As stated before, the seeding down [ ilionld be done as early in November as pos-:l ilble. Wheat follows cotton admirably, and tie highest, dry est land should be selected for I t. The surface soil, to a depth of three orji bur Inches, should be brought into the finest i, iHli by plowing, rolling and harrowing.: | iVhatever manure is used should he thorn ugh- , y incorporated with tills surface soil. If cot- > on seed Is applied, it should be plowed in j villi the wheat. Commercial fertilizers may,, )C plowed in shallow or harrowed in. In old- i ;n times, fifty bushels of cotton seed to the: tcrc was regarded as a safe guarantee of ? i [ood crop, even on poor land. Thirty bushels !, >f cotton seed and one hundred and fifty i j >ounds of aeid phosphate per acre is prefcra- j le to lifty bushels of seed alone. Three hun-i Ired pounds of coSton seed meal Is about < quivalent to thirty bushels of seed, and may '' tesubstituted in place of theni. The above} lUantitlis of manure may be applied at tln?| ime of seeding. In the spring it m ty some- 1 itnes be desirable and profitable lo give a 11 iuht top-dressing of phosphate, nitrate of so- ;, la and kainit or sail. During winter It is J t reil- to roll wheat with a heavy roller, sifter u very unusually hard freeze. as soon as their round is entirely thawed. The freezing, even i \ rhen it docs not lift the p'ant out o' the round, destroys the necessary contact of the I j oots Willi the soil,.and interferes with their ! bsorption ol water and food. I If, by use of proper sieves, the small, impcr-! L*cleraius are removed from the seed wheat, 4 i ie UUShci ot see?l is cuou;;u mr an acr>-., Veil trained hands can m>\v seed very tin!- I ormly, but as a rule it would pay a fanner to i ave a seed-sower. Some of these are cheapL uough to be within the reach of all, and the ! J, aphiity nnd uniformity of their.sowing soon j' iays for them, irregular sowing tuul irregu?rcovering, so that a part of the young limits die out from overcrowding, ami a pari f tlie seed never comes up from b-ing cover-' j d with clods or something else, have caused \ treat waste of seed. Il is probable that rom small, defective seed, irregular sowing I , nd improper covering, one-fourth or more of]' he seed sown Is practically lost. After duel reparation,sow the seed, plow in lightly? tc iot more than two inches, if necessary liarow?and finish up by rolling the land. 11 The frequent dcstMiction of HiII oalsbyeold,! I as discouraged the fall sowing of oats and a j ai tial substitute is very desirable, especially I ? 11 the nor'hern portions of the col ton hcli.!r hirley appears to be the best within reach ! i is very hardy; seldom injured by cold and i Upplles a very excellent feed for hoises. The; inscttled question is, hi what shape and how j s i> feed it? We have seen it stated that, in !< 'aiitornia, horses are turned loose on a stack j f barley as cows are upon a stack of hay or: . traw. Alter barley is tliri shed and IhobVard < iroUeii e?tt* ibe grains, the latter could ccrtain-l y be fed like any other grain. Cannot some eader throw the light of experience on ihis'i ioiul? If barley is sown on ordinary laml j tit bout fertilization, not more than one andj_ half or two bu>hcl< should he sown 011 an ' , cic: and November is a good mouth to sow! I when the object is not grazing or soiling,! iut the production of grain nnd straw. lt!s hould always, however, be sown on the best j and that is available, ami more or less ma-j.i Hiring will pay. as il does on almost, every | , rop. As there is great certainty of not being :. rimer killed and the crop is a< 'r.-e from ens-1 laities as any giowti, one can very trustingly ! pply manure to it. Since writing the above. I v udge lletts, the (.'otnmissioner of Ag.ieullurei f Alaliiimu, has informed us that for twenty ! |j cars I:e has raided barley for horse-lVcd in lortliern Alabama, with great success, mul |(i reds it just as lie Iceds sheaf oats. With harpy as with rye. it i< important to sow hoiuc-j row n seed. Most ol the seed obtained iroin,? he North is spring-raised, and will not do c rell in our climate. The May birds are the! reatcst enemy to this crop. They usually !q siss through our section when the barley i'sl II milk,ami prove quite destructive. lloys!?i lid shotguns tire the best remedies. " !. As cold weather approaches, suitable pro-jSl Ision should be made for the care of stock. \ lose barns and cellars are rarely needed in* ur warm climate; out shelter from cold j itins and ban icrs a'.'aii.st winds are impcra- j * ivcly called f>>r.

J t is also very desirable to supply animals (l rith water, not tooeold during cold weather. ^ V?ws drink a large quantity of water, and ," lien the latter is nearly at (lie freezing point, t has to be warmed up in the stomach by ani- " al heat?raised, say tv>rty to one hundred derces, Now, animal heat is generated from s< )od, and it an animal drinks much cold \*a;r, it must eat more loud wherewith lo warm n , If practicable, water should be conducted ^ i a pipe, some distance underground, Irom a pring to the lot. Jt would I bits get within inch of animals at a temperatuie of about ... xty decrees. Such an arrangement would .. Iso insure animals against the neglect of scr- * ants in supplying wat.*r or of supplying it igularly.

Under some cirenmstances il might he more economical to warm the food of cows in extremely cold weather by cooking or steaming, than to have the animal warm by consuming more food. As a rule wood and coal are cheaper than forage and grain. Ir is sometimes the case that cooking or steaming is decidedly advantageous by Inipartinir the flavor of the more palatable to that wliicli is less so. in a mixed ration. Wheat straw, fur instance, abounds in hydrocarbons, hut is deficient in nitrogen: eoltoti seed meal abounds in nitrogen; the two supplement each other and make a good feed. Hut if fed separately, an animal would not eat the straw well, because it is not a pnlatahle food ; it is defective in flavor. The quantity of cotton seed meal proper for an animal is too small to be mixed well with the necessary amount of straw, even when the latter is cut tip. Hut steaming will impart, the flavor of the meal to as much stm w as is desirable. The compounding of dill'crcnl kinds of feed in proper proportions, is not only desirable for the health and thrift of animals, hut extremely important in tin economical point, of view. Kxcessot any one ingredient of food above its duo proportion is not appropriated by the animal, and is practically iost.
