The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 2oth; rebuilt July 19, 1891. U. M. HARMAX. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 8. 1890. To th9 Farmers. The time has come for preparation and setting the size and proportions of cur different crops, and an interchange of opinions on our varied ex periences will be entirely proper and helpful to us who live by the jield of our fields. Our experiences has fully taught the cottontot that his theory j -of all cotton and with it buy his every need has fallen to the ground, and the experience of us who have heretofore practiced the "all cotton and corn" droctine has about also met its doom and worked its eventful course to the grave. The idea of corn as an all sufficient and best means of feed for our stock and families we now find is an expensive feed and is fraught with many drawbacks. In looking around for substitutes to take the place in part for an all coin and cotton features on our farms many will present themselves, some helpful and wise, others deceptive and alluriDg. Our people are being more fully convinced year by yeftr of the folly of looking to the government for relief in this trying hour. "The paramount issue of the hoar" they are now assured is not "the free and unlimited coinage of silver" and the establish ment of banks of issue, and that an other city of refuge must be sought in all our business relations, and of all the men on earth we, the farmers of this nation, have the least right to complain of hard times and money panics and prostrate conditions. In 1845 we had the free and unlimited coinage of silver and banks of issue and an honored Democratic government, pure and simple, and yet cotton went down in New Orleans and Charleston to (3J) three and three quarter cents per pound, even lower than in 1898, and three million bales in 1845 and about eleven millions in 1898. Cotton at 3f cent and our banks and coffers loaded with money! ^ Like Xicodemus many ask, and very wisely, Sir, how can these things be? The agricultural condition - of the South was such that the State of Alabama borrowed millions of dollars for its farmers to tide them over the swelling current and today about six million dollars of the bonds are unpaid and still hang as a debt over the State and its citizens are yearly paying interest on them. But we see that a change is needed and is required and he is wise who heeds the warning. I see, and I am glad to see it, that many think of going into rice culture and stock raising, and . also some into the tobacco industry. But these also are attended with their allurements and dangers. It is not the obiect of this article 4 ~ ~ " to defend the Republican doctrine of protection over our rice and sheep raising and other farm products. I accept that as it is and assume that wool has risen from 10 and 12 cents per pound to 20 and 25 cents per pound and rice in rough state from 40 to 50 cents per bushel to $1.00 and at easy sale. Thousands of acres of our woru out and gullied old fields can now be made to pay a very haudsome income from mutton and wool and furnish thousands of tons of the finest fertilizers on earth for our farms. The beautiful blades cf grass that we strive hard all summer to kill and mutilate will, if left quietly to grow, raise more money i j beef, pork and mutton and wool by far than we can get for the cotton when made and housed, and we caD have a nice margin besides in our compost pens if we can muster energy and thrift to use them properly. It is better for us and much easier to do to make one hundred and I fifty bushels of corn on three acres J than it can possibly be to raise it on j thirty acres, or even on fifteen acres. It is cheaper to raise a bale or over j per acre than to a raise a bale on j three acres. A faimer who runs a j fifty acre farm and buys bis butter, j Hour and bacon would do a wise ; and provident act if he would give | up twenty-five acres to his cows, sheep and hogs. The remaining half would raise him more cotton and corn at half the lisk and cost and the family would enjoy the great lux ury of ihe change. There is no merchant or banker who could run long doing business in the improvident, silly manner that we do. And that ; we can go on iu this way and succeed n v is only a proof positive of the enor ! normous resources of our farms and , of the inexhaustable treasury at our j homes. "We woik our animals larch j rack cur minds with anxious cares: i we work cur little barefooted children hard all the year and deny tLcm ; many advantages and blessings that | are easily within our reach, and that j God and duty to those little ones I demand at our hands. We aie re ; sponsible for the fact that our bo>s are sec king positions in the world aLd j lea\iLg our farms from weariness of J life. These things should not be. Our homes should be the happiest and most contented place of earth. Parsnip Complexion. j It does not require an expert to detect j the softener from kidney trouble The ho'- j low cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, potty j circle under the eyes, the sallow parsnipcomplexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you hand rheu- j mitisju, a dull pain or ache in the back or j over the hips, stomach troubles, desire to I annate often, or a burning or scalding in j passing it: if after passing there is an on sati?-tied feeling as if it must be at once re- j peated. or if the uriDe has a briek dust tie- ! posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are presen* no time J should be lost in lemoving the cause. Delay mav lead to gravel, catarrah of the j bladder, iuft immatiou, causing stoppage. ! and sometimes requiring the drawing ol j the nrine with instiuments, or may run into ! i Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage j of kidney trouble Dr. Kiimrr's Swamp-Koot, the great d.'s ! cove*y of th9 eminent kidney and bladder J specialist, is a positive remedy h r such [ diseases Its reputation is woild wide aud it is so (a y to get at any drug store tl a no one need suffer any length ol time lor want of it. However, if you prefer to fiV>t test its ! wonderful merits, mention the Lexingtcn Dispatch and write to Dr. Kilmc-v & Co . Binghamton, N. Y.t for a s.itu pie bottle and book telling all about it, both scut abso lutely Irce by mail. j Of all women our wives and daugb ters should be the freest and mosi exempted from the cares of that eventful and dietded "tomorrow."j But in stiiving ftr these ends foroui own comfort and joy, united to tba? laudable ambition should be one ol an equally high and lofty character: viz: one to elevate, benefit and bless 1 the rest of the poor needy sons of j I toil. It seems to me that today the 11 farmers of South Carolina owes to that great eternal Providence a debt I of gratitude which is light now, if, | possible, hardly due from any other { class of our business worlds We are 1 striving and cutting with the differ- -1 ent fertilizer agents of the country (s for guanos with which to make our 1 crops, and that is just and proper, j 1 But today are we conscious that the t last snow storm brought down on < our fields and forests as much fer- j i tilizers as will be furnished by all j i the guano agencies of our State. The ; i snov\flake has robbed the elements, Jj has drawn on that inexhaustible store j < house and the winds and clouds have j ] brought them and have scattered 1 them broadcast over hill and dale. I God closed up the very store houses : of nature against the animal creation i aud left them exposed for days to the ] severities of both coll and hunger < that our wants might be supplied, i Thousands of them died from want, 11 and yet 111 tneir very uying ujuuiuuib ? the last carols were in tones of j ">y 1 and gladness. I have read of periods j < in history were at times the condi- 1 tions of people were such that they < would be driven to eat each other i and that mothers would eat their lit- ? tie children, but never until lately 1 have I seen the innocent dove feed on 1 the dead body of its companion, 1 which had given up life without mur- < mur or complaint against its sad con- ( dition, ;1 Nature is wise and provident and 1 not changeable and vascilatiDg in her 1 laws, and it behooves us to reflect ' and learn from the lessons which ] she teaches, and in turning to the ' rice culture will this also be found of 1 very practical benefit to us. ' "SVe have noticed that in planting 1 wheat and small grain that pieces j' manured have not turned out to our j' expectation when compared with a , ^ piece adjoining them which was not s manured. I have often heard men { say it did not pay them to put cotton 1 seed under wheat, and I have heard i others say that fertilizing rice did t net pay them for they made more on 1 the rows that were not manured at j ? all than was made on the portion fer- j { m ?t .? ? i,.

The wonderful success of S. S. 1 in curing obstinate, deep-seat* blood diseases, which were consider* incurable, induced a few despairii sufferers to try it for Cancer, aft< exhausting the skill of the physician without a cure. Much to their d light S. S.

Evidence has a< cumulated which is incontrovertibl and every citizen of South Carolin can easily verify the following stat mentof a resident of their own State Mr. J. B. Arnold, of Green woo* writes: ''Several years ago a tin ulcer appeared just under my left rapidly, spreading and destroying t of pain?those sharp, darting pain took many so-called blood medicii aud sought the hMp of the best phy one told me, however, that I was in< arrangements accordingly.

Nature is one power that can wisely adjust if left to herself. In small grain and lice the natural will be followed and the giaiu will adapt itself and not starve and send out more heads thau the situation of the land at the time will mature. But in putting large quantities of fertilizers under wheat early ia the fall will "fool" the poor plant and it will send out more heads than the laud will mature when the force of the guano has been expended unless the land has a backing behind it to carry on and mature. But if this same fertilizer be placed later on in / . _ _ ? i L _ ii_; ? me winter or spimg me multiplying of beads will not be so strong till tbe warm nights are on and there is then usually left enough to go on until maturity. In such case if an additional amount is applied as a spring manuring the fruiting will be assisted in proportion to the help jiven to the land to do its part. A few jears ago I made a splendid failure on two and a half acres of rice, and that sat rne to thinking about the causes. I had a beautiful pros >ect and expected a large yield, but i negro had one quarter of an acre oear without manure that beat my rice very badly. Iu my field were at least two heads or more to his one in bis and very much larger also than bis, but the negro's rice heads, though >mall, filled out well and matured iheir grain and the heads in my patch failed to fill and mature. I gathered a very fine harvest of straw aut the heads were very sparsely ailed and I noticed on the poorer *pots where the stand of rice was j rery bad that the heads filltd much setter. If left alone nature will idopt a wise course and he is prulent man who tries to meet squarely :he demands which she lays down md from which she will not depart, aot once. Old field sedge land is a *ood place for high landjrice. There ike decaying vegetation keep9 the plant on when it is urged to briDg forth its fruit. Any land with vege:able mould in it is best for almost iny crop as it furnishes food for the roots and keep3 the land open and porous which greatly assists in dry weather. But any good, moderately j fair upland will make a lice crop and cvill produce all the way from 15 to 50 bushels per acre. Such land will jsually about double the yield of iorn on the same grade of land. Daud too low and wet for anything jlse will make rice and when once up veil, will make well on land nearly ill the time under water. We some;imes sow m:U ponds when at a high aead by paddling a boat back and forth aross the pond sowing broad;ast like wheat or oats and in three )rfour d!lys draw off the head of vater and leave the rice severely alone till ready to cut and stack it. When ike sower misses portions in thesowng from the boat a person can stand n the thick places and pull it out 'severely" and throw it iLto vacant places fifteen or twenty feet around iim, and if the ground is wet the ? ? 1 T a Ml ice will tafce root ana grow. 11 win !all down very generally when thrown jut will soon take root and raise its lead and meet the opposition with such a determination a9 to take hold md grow aod mature.

She can sec that the outside application of a liniment which softens and relaxes must certainly be the thing for her to use.

Mother's Friend is sold in drug stores tor a bottle, or from THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., Atlanta, * places are, but on upland tbere is hardly any cause to replant if a proper amount of seed has been used. Rice on upland can be planted about the time of cotton planting and people used to cultivating cotton can easily make ar crop of rice. I>? can be planted and hoed very much in the same way as cotton, but the culture is hardly so expensive for the crop and very much easier to gather. This is already longer than I intended, and to my fellow farmeis I can offer no stronger apology than my great interest in the matter. I will write next week of the hog and cow and sheep and the great superi ority of amber cane, pindars and chufas for raising and fattening hogs over the corn idea. I will give my own experience on a small scale aud the experience of others on a much larger manner on this important fea ture in farming. A revolution i9 all that seems to have power to develop our advantages agriculturally, and that revolution is here and we will be wise to see it and meet it accordiunlv. The farmer of all men should be progressive and he is a thriftless one who is not so. The columns of our county papers are all open to us and a great good can be done each other by taking advantage of these papers for our mutual benefit. The Southerner buys his pork and bacon from the great N jrth West where for months in the year the conditions are as bad and even worse than we had it very lately, and where the hog is to be fed and watered on what has been made and housed in warm weather, and here the hog can get his own living for eleven months in the year, and here we have lands by the thousands of acres that with amber cane, cbufas and pindars can fatten and raise as much pork as any acre in Illinois or Iowa and much cheaper.
