[From thp ^orfcyJllft inquirer.] A reporter for the JEnquirer has boen up to seo Dr. T. W. Campbell, for tho purpose of gcttjng some of that gentleman's, ideas as to tho most proiit ?Vie nod economical methods of farming. Dr. Campbell lives near ?tho Northwestern ' corner of Bethel township, about two miles from Ca tawba rivor, and boars the reputation of being not only ono. of tho most successful physicians, but also ono of tho most successful farmers in York county. These high distinctions havo boon won by. oareful, painstaking I labor, extending over a lifetime. His | knowledge and experience as a phy sician, of course, aro not available for the pnrposo of this article, but what ho has learned and advises as a far mer, are well worthy of tho considera tion of those who aro striving for [ tho best results in that pursuU. In order to insure to his opinions that weight their importance desorves, it will not bo out of plaoe to sketch, I in a few words, an outline of what] the doctor has accomplished. Though now enjoying handsome incomes, both from his profession and planta tion of some six or soven hundred aorps? at the OIQSO of tho war Dr. Campbell did not own so much as ono acre of land. Not only this, but. ho was under tho necessity of bor rowing ton dollars from a friend with whiqh to buy a license to practice his I profession, and for nearly a year actually did not succeed jjn collecting enough to pay it baok. Noarly two years lpter ho bought his first tract of land, on which ho now lives, on 'credit. This was in 1867, and apply ing ovory dollar that ho could scrape together tc tho debt, it was not until 1877 that tho final paymont was made Whon Dr. Campbell bougfit his plantation it was notoriously the poorest in Bothol township. To-d?y it is ono of tho most fertilo and pro ductivo in York county. Tho origi nal purchase money was paid with funds derived from the doctor's pro fession, but since that time tho plan tation itself has boon made to bear j all thc oxponses of its improvem?ut, stocking, etc., as well as yield handsome net income beside. It js worth a trip of a good many miles to soo it, and tho farmer who cannot learn ii great deal by walking over tho place, and asking questions of its proprietor, is well up in agricul ture. Having built up his land and wrought out his success on a lino basod on tho following, it is given for all that can bo made out of it. Although a largo and successful cotton raiser, it is tho doctor's expe rience that tho profits of agriculture in this county at this timo aro in grain and grass. Speaking of whoat, he says tho country is making a great | mistake in not paying moro atten tion to its culture It is truo that great many farmers havo found that | it docs not pay; but with few excep tions it is neither tho fatilt of tho soas?os nor tho land. Tho trouble, as a rule, arises from a lack of pro per cultivation. "I have been sow ing whoat," ho says, "overy soason for tho past twonty-fivo years, and during that time I have made but two failures. Last year, from not quito fivo bushels of Ripley whoat, sowed on ton aores of land, I har vested, 180 bushels. "But tho host whoat for our South ern olimato is thc Nioarauga. It is | tho surest of making a crop of any I have ever had any experience with, and I havo no hesitation in saying | that if each farmer in this country would sow just ono bushol of this wheat for oach mombor of bis family, on fairly good land, properly pre pared, ho would never bo under tho necessity of buying a pound of his bread. This whoat, lt is true, has some disadvantages. It is a bearded variety, and thon it is so hard and flinty that our ordinary mills cannot grind it into fino flour without itp being run through twice. It is the \wv th ino* fo?* the patent roller mil's, however, This wheat contains very little starch,and so much gluten that . plain broad mado from it tasts ns I though it had boon sweetenod with sugar. "The Nicarauga ie absolutely rust proof, and in order to get rid of the board, I hove for several years.been mixing it with tho , ordinary rust proof wheat. The result is, t now' haye a, hybrid nearly smooth, and a great deal softer than tho original, while at tho same time the beet qualities of the Nioorauga sqoin to bav? been but slightly impaired,. This whoat is also hoavior than tl^c other varieties, weighing about sixly (ive pounds'to tho bushol, and has another.important a^vontagO : so\?n any time from September to Mardi, I havo novor soon ti. fail, Though, ott oourse, it doos mttoh hotter wheo sown in tho fall." ?What about tho beat manure for whoat, Dootor?" "Peas or clover. Wo cali got all tho ammonia and nitrates that tho land noods out of vegetable matter eheapor than from any other source. I have raised the finest whoat I. o vor Baw on tho poorest kind of land by ?.rst.sowing in olovor, plowing under uoxt fall, and then sowing'in whoat. The ton acres I just spoko of wore BO poor that at first I couldn't, even get oloyor to grow on it. In that oaso I had to bring tho land up with ()ichilla guano. This ie principally phosphate of limo. It comes from somo of the Pacific, islands, ar.d all tho ammonia baying bcou leached out, it is about equal to bono dust, You don't get tho full benefit of it tho first year, but it is certainly a great manure for clovor and whoat." From tho wheat subject tho doctoi branched off on dover. "This ie ono of the moBt profitable Crops that oan bo grown in this county, and with a dose enough market tho best money crop. An aoro of fairly good land, and if tho land is not fertile enough, tho olovor, with the holp*oi a little manure, will soon make it so ought to yield two tons at two out tings. Well cured: dover hay ii worth $20 a ton, and all thc cost o Heeding, cutting and curing shook not oxceed $5. Of course, if evory body would go to raising olovor thoro would bo no such profit in it but tho farmer who bas six or oigh mules, and is without a clover patel and a good mowing maohino witl which to out tho clover, is not on tin most economical basis. Clovor i the cheapest feed for stook that ha ev^r been raised in this country, am its comparative value ranks away u] with oats and corn." "Hut you couldn't koop workinj stock on olover alono, could you dootor?" "I boliovo you could. A few year ago I happened to got out of a rid ing horse temporarily, and for th occasion bought a plug from a neigh bor. The animal was -not in ver; good condition when I bought il and to tell tho truth I did not thin very much of it anyway. Woll, rode that horse hard all summor an fed it on nothing but olover. I stood up under thc unusually han work as well as any horse I eve saw, and aotually got fat. Bil oxcopt in this instanco I havo neve fod my working stock oxolusivoly o olovor. I believe, however, that i can bo done and with tho most satii factory results." "I had about sixty-five acros i clovor this year and pastured it a but about fifteen acros, which I cu QfF those fifteen acres I have gotte enough hay to keep niuo head < horses all year, and as many cow through tho winter. Now for a con pavilion : Suppose wo tako fiftec acros of corn and say that it wi make fifteen bushels to tho aero. Tin ia tw;o hundred and twenty-five busl ols. Well, it takes Bovonty-fivo basho of corn and 1,000 bundles of fodd< to feed a horso through tho yea Tho fifteen acres of corn would fcc nine horses about four months, ar allow nothing for tho cows. 1 clover, the product of fifteen acre stowed in the barn, would cost, nc about $160. Its equivalent, 8( bushels of corn, would not cost lei than $200, and it is hardly to t gotten off of less than forty aorcs < sitoh land aa would bo required I produce tho clover." Speaking of cotton, Dr. Campbi is of opinion that tho profits on tin orop aro short at best, and unlo considerably more than tho prcsoi average yield is scoured, extromc doubtful. Last year he raised thirt four bales of tho Allen variety, < which ho realized thirtcon cents pound. Tliis, he saya, did not pa Tho yioid of the Allon is so lig and tho trouble and expenses co nectcd with it so much greater tin is necessary for tho ordinary kim of cotton, that it cannot bo mado pay a roasonablo profit at less tnt twonty conts a pound. This year . . . ,*< , , _ .,...-\> \ planted the "Premium," "Truit" and ! "Orange" varieties. All of these j varieties aro large bolled and very | prolific, but tho doctor considers tho "Premium" tho best of the three. It oarrios tho sr?ajlest seed and yields j tho largest quantity, of lint. How ever, they are ail. oXceptirmal-y Ano, and tho probability is t|iat seventy five aoros on his farm aro going to yield at least seventy-five halos. As to tho best manure for cotton, j Dr. ?ampboll,. says that, of course, ! depends entirely on tho land. By, analysis, or experiment, ono should; first timi out,. what tho land needs, and then supply thoso elements. "As is well known, the most com-, ploto fertiliser for any crop is cotton seed, and the best way to apply them is in tho furrow. When applied, in this way thoro is no loss, as. is often tho case in composting. But the full | bc noil t from tho soed is not dorivod tho first year. Tho hull, containing, I I as it dooB, a very large proportion of potash, will not usually d?compose until it bas bcon in tho ground moro than ono season. "A great many peoplo aro in tho j habit of mixing their cotton soed with stablo manure. I used to do this also, but it is wrong, or at least unnecessary. Both aro completo fertilizers, and thoir reBpeotive val ues c about tho same. In viow of I this fact I putydown ono as far as it will go, and from there out continuo with tho other just as if there was uo difference between them, Rust in cotton oan always bo pre vented by the application of potash. You never seo any rust in cotton on soil that contains mica (colloquially called isinglass), and tho presence of | mica is an indication that tho soil contains sufficient potash." "About cotton seed, doctor; how much aro thoy worth a bushel as a fertilizer?" "I should say not less than 26 couts, though it is hard to ostimato how much they rosily are worth. I never sell any. On the contrary, I buy as many as I can got overy year, and I can afford to pay as much for them ns tho mill mon will." "What about cotton seed moah Is it as good as the green seed?" "How could it bo ? It is true that thc mill mon say that the oil is of no value as a fertilizer, and so far as tho manufactured product is concerned they arc correct; but tako it this way : Tho green seed is a completo fertilizer. Carbon enters largoly into oil and is also an important element of plant food. Tho carbon, originally in a moat easily assimulablo form, having been oxtraotcd from tho meal, how do you expect to supply that olement by tho application of a fertilizer that no longer contains it?" "Now, ono moro point, doctor. You claim that there is moro money in grain and grass than in cotton. Supposo a man was in debt, would you not say that ho could got out tho soonest by planting cotton ?" "Woll, this matter of getting out of debt is rather an uphill business anyway you tako it; but I will say this : All things hoing equal, lot two hands each take ten acres, and one plant cotton while. the other sows grain and clovor, putting in-his Bparo time collecting manure, and at the end of ten years, considering tho valuo of tho land, you will find \hat tho man who sowed grain will havo mado a great deal tho most monoy." A thorough going farmer, Dr. campbell raises cattle, sheep and hogs, both ns a source of pleasure and profit. Ile has a Hock of about fifty sheep and a groat many cattle, among which arc about a dozon half and full blooded Jerseys. His livo stock, he says, arc practically no expense to him, and besides what ho soils, moro than pay for themselves with their manure alone.

" " Tinder date of St. Louis, Mo., October 17, tho Rev. Irl R. Hioks completes Iiis meteorological fore casts for November, for his monthly paper, World and Works, and by special arrangement the Atlanta Journal gives its report of tho same. Tho presont. month has attraotcd much attention to Rev. Mr. Hioks and Iiis forecasts, especially during tho reoont severe, storms. On Sep tember 24th tho Columbia XUgistar published tho following forecast from him in regard to tho weather fron^ Ootobor 20th to tho 31st, which scorns to have been litorally fulfilled : As we approach tho 20th, eyes trained to meteorological change;; v/ill note the gathering clements of ap proaching storms. Higher tempera ture, falling barometer, Easterly to Southerly winds-storms 1 Tho 20 th, 21st and 22d are the days in the poriod against which we would espe cially warn our readers, Thoro is noticeable tendency to storminess in tho region of tho Northern lakeB about this time, and tho approaching perturbation of Venus, togothcr with other casoB, will likely aggravate this tondenoy at this time into violent movements. Tho days following up to reactionary movements about tho 20th and 27th ought to bo crisp and cold, with, freezing generally to Northward. Now, for Novombor, wo havo a "lap over" of tho above conditions. Tho storm movements, says Rov. Mr. Hicks, central on Ootobor 81st, will be in active progress tho 1st and 2d of November. Ordinarily these storms would clear tho continent on and next to tho 2d, but in tho pro sont instance, continued storms may be oxpooted. Equinox of Mercury on tho 4th, and of Venus on tho 5th, which combination, with moon's last quarter added, assures aotivc and prolonged disturbances to and beyond tho reactionary storms, duo about tho 6th and 6th. Phenominal flights of tho moroury will characterize tho disturbances of this poriod. Very warm days will suddenly end in freezing weather. Heavy snow and sloot to the North, with hard rain and tropical storms Southward will bo natural results. Between the Otb and 10th a big boreal wave will swoop Southward and Eastward to the Atlantic About the 10th, mensural reading will chango in tho West, moving Eastward and growing warmer in their progross, culminating botweon tho 11th and 15th in storms of marked energy. Hain and snow may be countod on, storm days being especially on and next to the 12th, 18th and 14th. Exposed Northwest ern regions will not miBonlculato if thoy prepare for a very cold wave to follow these Btorms, tho Wostorly to Northwesterly tangents of which arc apt to bring touches of tho bliz zard. Cold, bright weather will fol low up into tho natural renotion about tho 18th and 19th. Moon's first quarter on tho morning of tho 19th will aid tho natural tendency, to storminess on that and dates touch ing it. Cold will follow promptly. Tho elements of returning storms will show themselves to tho West a day or two prior to tho 28d, whioh dato is tho central dato of tho last regular poriod for tho month. Thc 28d, 24th and 26th, and days next before and aftor, will bring marked storm movemonts of a decided win try cast. Mako all such preparations as you would wish to have for cold, unpleasant weather at this time, and seo how you will congratulate your self when the timo arrives. Do not wait until tho storm days. Then you will bo housed, and yourself and stook will bo exposed lator to tho crest of cold following tho storm, The month will ond with a moderate temperature and reactionary disturb ances woll on their way to tho At lantic. The ' result of tho recount of the Sopulation of Now York goos far to estroy what little confidence the country had loft in the census of 1890.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Octobor H?-r Woftlcy Kellar, "tao. maa who w*v? skinned alive," has returned to vorl-. His oaso is curious. As an illustra-. ; tion of tho nice p?wers of modern surgery it will bo talked about front one end of tho country, to tho othor. On Wednesday, July 80, Kellar foll into a steam vat at tho Indiana polis Veneer Works. Ho was taken out as quickly, as possible, but ho had been soaldod from the Bolos of his feet to the middle of, his client. Ono ; arm was all right, but the other .arm was. lilistored to tho shoulder, lingo blisters puffed, up all Over tho. mott's body, and the fluid which had been exuded from tho flesh to fill them bad been cooked to a jeiiy. In removing his clothes groat strips, of the outside or.:soart-skin ootne .off, leaving oxposod-tho true skin under neath, cooked until it looked Uko a parboiled lobster. His toes and ankles woro BO lustered and swplen os to lose nearly all resemblance to human mombcrs. As soon as his follow-workmen got Kollar out of tho vat thoy telephoned for tho company's Burgeon, Dr? H?lph Perry. "Thoro is, perhaps, ono chance in a thousand of saving this man," said the surgeon, when ho had looked at tho burns. He set to work, howovor, and greased Kel lar from top to too with a mixturo ot linseed oil mid limo water. Then ho swathed tho body in cotton wadding from which nil possible impurities and disoaso gen UM hud boen removed by chemicals. For two days and nights tho oaso hung without loss or gain. A toa-, spoonful of brandy was given o^er^v. fow bom's. Then a chango cunio. Kollar Boomed to bo choking. ThO: throat became swollen, but this swolling was cheeked. Tho man's.;, temperature roso a little Foyer sot, in. This gave hope. Tho noxt morn ing Kellar asked for something to oat, and actually ate a piece of pie an4 drank some coffee Tho nows of this shocked tho surgeon ot first, but he said : "I guess we'll win this fight, for a man who oan cat pie with no skin on him has lifo enough loft to grow a now ono." When suppuration began, great caro was t aken to lot out tho pus at1 overy point. The first dressing took tinco hours; tho. second still longer. Five days wore consumed in taking off tho bits of old skin, four hours each day being spent with tho f?? cops, scissors and scalpel, removing skin layer by layer. Not a pioco as big as a dimo was forced. Kollar's pluck was marvellous. The raw sur faces wore dressed with' an iodoform mixture and bandaged with soft stuffs. Meanwhile tho swamps of South Bend were being scourod for two pound frogs. A bushel basket "of those woro cleaned with a germioido mixturo and fed on puro food. Tho I raw surfaces of Koller's body wore tenderly washed with clean warm wator, then with peroxyde of hydro gen, which dostroys pus. The utmost cleanliness and wholesomeness was insisted upon. Just boforo applying tho frogskin tho raw surface was washed with a woak solution of cor rosivo sublimate. Everything ready, tho first frog was brought out. With,, a quiok snip pf tho scissors, its spi nal cord was scvorod at the baok of tho neck. Thon tho looso, pearly white skin from ovor tho abdomen was quickly taken out and thrust into dish of water which bad boon boiled, but which was now merely, wann. In tho water had been dropped a little of the corrosive sublimate solu tion. Being oloansed, tho skin was cut up i vo bits about tho tonth of an inch squaro and. applied to Kel lows body-inside in, outside out. Powdered iodoform was dtiBted ovor tho graft, which was sealed tightly from impurities. Dr. Perry mado grafts on forty two occasions. Thirty-two opera tions wore unsatisfactory; ton woro satisfactory, From oaoh of tho ton oontrcs healthy skiu radiated, and now Kollar is "as good as pew." So Kellar has geno to work-tho only man in tho world who has boort boiled and skinnod alive, and who has frog skin whero ho onoo woro his . i. , . . .????? . .i It has boon oaloulatcd that tho Amorican people cat moro moat in tho course of twonty-four hours than all tho inhabitants of Great Britain, Franco, Germany, Austria, Belgium, A Holland and Switzerland put to I gothcr.
