Major Nance, like Joseph's king, has dreamed
a dream. The other night as he lay upon
his bed, he dreamed he could fly. He wished
however to prove the thing before credible
witnesses. Getting Dr. Grier, Dr. W. L. Pressly
and one other?he caunot now remember
who?he went up to Erskine College and flew
up, in their presence on top of ihe College,
with great ease. The thing spread over the
State and he was telegraphed to to comedown
to Columbia. In company with Mr. J. D.
Brownlee, he went down. They were standing
on the streets of Columbia and the crowd
wanted to bet 85,0)0 against S500 that the Major
couldn't fly across the street. A lriend of
his took the proposition ud. The Major lilted
himself, flopped bis wings and gently lighted
on the other side. The So,000 was paid over.
The friend sltpped 8500 Into his pocket and
hauded over S1.500 to Major Nance. This was
doing pretty well, but high honors were still
awaiting him. The telegraph flashed the
news over the United States. A telegram
came from Washington, D. C., "Come on to
this city." The Major and his parly arrived
there during the inauguration of Harrison
and was given a prominent seat on the platform.
At the close of the exercises this now
famous personage was called on for a speech.
He responded, saylDg that he was well pleased
with the inauguration, passed a compliment
on Harrison and concluded by saving
that as he (Harrison) was of good Virginia
stock originally, he doubted not but that the
President would solve the "negro problem" to
the satisfaction of all. (Tremendous applause.)
And now In the presenceof the great
multitude he flew from point to point and as
the sole of his foot rested upon the dome of
the capitol he woke and lo! it was a dream.
Prophets are now In demand to interpret the
dream. Two solutions have been presented.
The first is that Major Nance will finally
reach the position 01 congressman ana win
go on to Washington. In support of this
view it is culled to m'nd that Major Nance's
father was once Congressman. Tho second
solution is that it means a break in the Solid
South, and that new ideas from this section
is to reach Washington sooner or laler. This
is substantially the dream as related to us by
Major Nance in the presence of Col. J. W.

HOW TO GROW LUCERNE.
IT IS THE MOST NUTRITIOUS OF ALL
CULTIVATED FORAGE CROPS.
...+
It Requires Careful Treatment, but
Pays Hotter Than any Oilier I*lant
?Every Owner of Stock .Should
Have It.
Cotlon Plant.
I wish to plant an aero of Lucerne, and
would be glad if you would publish In next
Issue of The Cotton Plant a piece about the
planting, cultivating and fertilizing ol Lucerne.?J.
K. H.
Lucerne is the most nutritious of all cultivated
forage crops, and its product per acre is
greater than that of any of the grasses. In
view of these two facts it is a singular thing
that it is not generally grown by the farmers
of the South, accounted for only by a general
want of knowledge of Its value. As a nutritious
plant for all kinds ol slock, Including
poultry. It stands at the head of the list, containing
all the elements of food in almost perfect
proportions. It Is a splendid milk and
butter producer, is an excellent food for horses
and mules, during the feeding of which
only a half or third ration of grain is necessary
; and for hogs it is superior to clover or
other green feed, containing as it does a plenteous
proportion of fat producing elements.
It contains also a large per centage of albuinenoid
principles, which support and develop
the muscles of animals and promote rapid
and healthy growth.
From four to five tons of most excellent Lucerne
Hay can be grown on an acre In a season,
the crop reaching its heaviest yields after
the second and third years. Its greatest val
ue, however, is as green food, and should he
allowed to wilt one day before use. It should
be cut immediately before the blossoms open,
as it becomes fibrous and woody soon after
that stage, and consequently less digestible.
SOWING AND CULTIVATION,
Lucerne being a perennial plant it will pay
to take the greatest and most expensive pains
with it at the start. In fact it will not respond
to anything short of the best preparation
and fertilization. The soil should be already
rich. No amount of manure applied to
Soor land will suffice, as the Lucerne must
avean abundance oi very soluble and immediately
available plant food when young. I
It is best, therefore, to make the soil thoroughly
rich first, and then sow the seed. A
matter of very great importance, too. is to
have the land free of the seeds oi weeds and :
grass, as these will easily stride ahead of the
young and delicate Lucerne plants, and kill
them out before they can acquire much i
growth of root. It is better, therefore, to pre- 1
cede Lucerne with clean cultivation and high j
manuring with stable manure that is thor- '
ougbly rotted and with fertilizers that con- I
taiuagreat deal of phosphoric acid, potash
and lime. Lucerne does not require an am- 1
moniated fertilizer, since it is known to absorb
more ammonia from the atmosphere '
than any other plant. Following clean culti- 1
vatlan and lavish manuring, Lucerne, if Rown 1
broadcast, should be sown early in Septem- <
ber after the most thorough pulverization of J
the soli. The land most suitable for it, how- 1
ever, as above suggested?that already rich 1
and mellow?will not require expensive prep- <
aratlon. The best soil for it is a rich, deep, (
loam?a loam being a soil containing about '
? per cent. orsana. surrciay9, ana especially
such as have a very compact waxy subsoil
are Dot best for Lucerne, considering the
longevity of the plant and the great depth to
which Its roots extend, sometimes 8 to 10 feet
or more in n porous soil, and rarely less than
two feet. Whatever the class of the soil may
be, it should be broken deeply and subsoiled,
but the subsoil should only be stirred and not
turned up. If sown in spring it is generally
better to sow in drills 15 Inches apart, so as to
admit of cultivation with the hoe, or even
with the plow, in order to keep dowu weeds
and grass. If the land Is clean and free of the
seeds of these, however, it may be sown
broadcast in spring as well as fall, the only
reason for drilling being cultivation, as above '
mentioned. Mr. Alexander McBee, Jr., of
Greenville, has a remarkably flne patch of
Lucerne, with a.perfect stand, producing luxuriant
cuttings three times a year, which was }
sown broadcast In February. The time for
the spring sowing of Lucerne is in February
or March. During the first year the main
oonsidoratlon should be the preservation of
the crop?securing a permanent aud regular r
stand. To do this it may be necessary to mow
the crop before it is ripe enough for ordinary a
cutting, in order to prevent the seeding of t
weeds and grass, should such pests get a start I
to the injury of the Lucerne. When mown t
the Lucerne will soon start again, while many t
of Its enemies will not. The exact course to
pursue in questions like this must be decided a
upon by the grower, who is on the spot and fc
can judge for himself. Our judgment Is in fa- r
vor of drilling the seed in spring planting, t
ar.d working the crop until it gets a good F
start, pulling out weeds and grass from among s
the plants early. With a good stand in rows e
w ui in Iijuuun oprtiv uuwiut nui w?vi iuv u
entire soil the second year and the rows will r
disappear. s
From 15 to 20 pounds of seed is required to o
sow an acre, the greater quantity for broad- t
casting. In drilling by band there is great I
danger or putting In more seed than is neces- li
sary. In all cases the seed should bo lightly \
covered with the tooth harrow, brush or rake, s
not more than a half Inch deep. The plants v
are very delicate and tender at germination. C
and If covered deeper than a half Inch many u
of them will never push through. I
Under good conditions and with favorable I
seasons Lucerne may furnish a pood cutting li
the first year, even sown In the spring, but. we 1
Iterate what is said above, that the chief con- 1
corn of the farmer during tit Is first year,
should be the protection of the crop from its t
natural enemies and lis permanent establish- \
ment in the soil. Once this accomplished Lu- t
cerne will hold its own against the attacks of s
weeds and grass, and will produce about three
eood cuttings a year for twenty years or longer.
The longevity of Lucerne is not fully set- 1
tied. The late Mr. Howard, of Georgia, gives
It a life of ten or fifteen years, while Dr. Q
Phares. of the Mississippi Agricultural College,
tells of plats of it known to havo been '1
growing for over thirty-five years, without I
any marks of decline.
Considering the great value of Lucerne and J
its permanency when once well established, ?
tbere can be no question about lis profitableness.
Every farmer ought to lmve a patch of
It, If only the fourth of an acre. As it Is a f
crop that demands the utmost care nt the V
start It would be far better to begin with only
a small plat and increase yearly than to un- i
dertake a field of It without the conditions
essential to Its successful culture. If the soil ^
Is at all disposed to remain wet and sobby after
rains It should be well drained, as Lucerne /
will not stand continued moisture. 1
Lucerne Is an aristocrat among plants and
will not tolerate a common abode, common
fare or careless treatment. But it pays well
for Its living. . j
The Worl<l-nu<lKet Company.
Perhaps no enterprise of any Southern ^
newspaper has ever met with the favor that khas
been accorded the latest plan of The
World-Budget Company, of Charleston, 8. ,
C., for further extending the circulation of
their three publications, The Daily World, l
The Weekly World, and The Sunday
Budget. The subscription prices are, respectively,
seven dollars, two dollars and a hall, c
and one dollar, per annum.
The Weekly World and The Sunday j
Budget are twelve-page (72 columns) papers,
while The Daily Would consists of eight
pages (18 columns) each day.
All of the publications of The World-Budget
Company are beautifully printed on good T
paper from brand new typp, and are, conso- 1
quently, particularly legible.
The plan referred to is this. On the first day 1
of July, of this year, The World-Budget
Company will distribute the sura of two hun- '
dred and fifty dollars in cash to the seven 1
persons who sball have sent in. between Feb- *
ruary 20,1889, and July 1, 1889, the largest j
sums of money for subscriptions to either 1
nu AT.r. of their DiiblleiLtlons. thiiK nuttintr f
persons In the country and city on precisely 1
the name footing In tnls novel competition. 1
At tirst sight it would oppear difficult to im- '
aglue how these enterprising Charleston pub- 1
Ushers can oxpect to "got their money bactc," 1
but the solution is not difficult to find.
The premiums (which are divided into the 1
following amounts. S100, 850, 835, 823, $20, 815
and 85) will all be won by persons who probably
will not have sent in, up to July 1, more \
than twenty or thirty dollars altogether.
Therefore, people living in smaller villages,
and hamlets will stand Just as good a chance i
of wiunlng the premiums as will those who 1
live in the city. It Is even possible that the
first prize of one hundred dollars may be won
by someone, the total amount of whose subscrlptions

THE OLDEST AND THE BEST.
?
"The Orange" nnd it# AdvanlnjrfN iin
n Farmer'* Organization.
Editor Press and Banner:
While so many "Wheels," "Alliances" and
oilier associations arc being formed, all ostensioly
for the advancement of the interests of
the farmer, I desire to sny a few words in behalf
of the "Grange," at one time a flourishing
organization in Abbeville county and but
for the indifference and non-attendance at
meetings ol' its membership, would still be a
power and benefit to all connected.
The Grange is not dead, it only sleeps, its
precepts and teachings are not forgotten, nor
discarded by ltaold members. You will never
hear a man who has once affiliated with it
speak In any manner, derogatory of Us work,
Its declaration of principles, or of the benefits
derived from association therewith, but the
universal comment is, "The Orange l? a good
thing. It Is the best organization the farmers
have ever had."
Though thoGrange Is dormant In this county.
It Is active and working In other portions
ol South Carolina, and its members derive all
the benefits promised, intellectually, morally
and financially. Local schools arc controlled
through the Grange. In some sections a
building known as the "Granga Hall" has
been built, the first floor used an the school
house, and the second floor for G range meetings.
A Grange, in good standing, can effect
betterarrangements In finance (when needed;
than any community can do, not organized.
Allrtw fndlvprf liiot. hArp fn mi II
lustration of u Grange's credit In business circles.
I am, and have been a member of the
Grange at Greenwood for seventeen years,
and while living there I was au agent for sale
of fertilizers. I used to huy fertilizers for my
own use, through :ny Grange, as I could do
so cheaper than the company would allow an
agent to sell it. even to himself. The Grange
clubbed Its orders and its cash, or a Grange
note ut 7 per cent., and ordered by ear loads at
reduced rates, while my stock was to retail,
and sell "on liens," to outsiders.
But to return. In 1871! when there were fifteen
active Granges in Abbeville county,
there was less complaint among ttie farming
community than there is to-day, find we had
heavier burdens then to bear than we have
now. Then, there was a solid farmer's organization
existing, well disciplined and working
underGrange rules. They met In council and
talked over matters. Thought* were exchanged
on various topics of interest to the
Grange, whether It be the sowing of small
grain, the cost of making a pound of cotton,
the labor problem, or how to keep a horse fat
on bought corn. (?) The fitness of candidates
for office, and the management of county affairs,
was not unfrequently discussed.
Farmers now are too segregated. They need
more to be brought in contact on business
principles. Nothing like a "touch of the elbow,"
to drive away depression. They should
meet together, talk together, work together,
buy together, sell together and act together
for mutual protection and advancement, and
where better can these ends be attained than
In their local Granges?
A Grange in any commur ity properly conducted
Is elevating, Instructive and beneficial
l,o all connected, for within its doors are
Laught honesty, fair dealing, morality and
jharlty, and to add to its uoclal features, women
are admitted as members. Financially,
It advocates: "Pay as you. go." "Buy less
ind sell more." "Buy where you can buy
iheapest, and sell to the best ad vantage." It
Antagonizes no other Interest whatever, but
;ndeavors to bring the farmer and the manu'acturer
into mo?t direct and friendly relations
by dispensing with a surplus of middlemen,
to roduce expenses, and make Its memjers
more self-sustaining.
l Deueve, air. j^aiior, mai; a revival 01 ine
jranges throughout the county, and the fornatlon
of new ones, would liven up the spirts
of our dpjected farmers and result in great
food to all communities. As Deputy, authorzed
by the Slate Grange of South Carolina
it Its late session, I will, if so desired, attend
,o any requests where a dormant Grange exsts,
or there is a disposition manifested to
orm ft new ono.
Dr. W. B. Mill wee, of Greenwood, is also a
leputy for tills county, and will join ine In .
.bis direction. Respectfully.
