THE FARMER8' INSTITUTE.
fm Interesting Mooting Hold Last Friday at
Bounty Land School House
Last Friday morning at IO o'clock thc
Farmers' instituto waa oouveuod ut
Bounty Laud school house. The moot
ing was oallod to order by Chairman A.
H. Ellison. A large number of ropre
soutativo farmers from over the county
woro present, and tho ladies had prepared
an excellent pionto dinner, which was
heartily enjoyed by all presont
Mr. J. B. Pickett oponed tho meeting
with au address, calling attention to the
groat necessity for tho farmers to organ
ize and stand together, both SS a m nt tor
of Keif-protection and for the purposo of
bettering tho farming intorosts in tho
wny of intelligent and practical farming.
Ho is ono of tho prominent Allianoomon
of thc Slate, has been au onrucst workor
on thoHO linos and bis advico was sound
and business-like, and it would bo woll
for tho farmers to follow tho liuos laid
out by Mr. Pickott. Ho spoke of the
groat f?rtil i/.or trusta and other combi
nations of capital, against which tho I
farmers must stand as a man to protect |
their interests. After his address ho
made a few remarks welcoming tho visi
tors, and tho instituto was formally
oponed.
Prof. M. B. Ilardiu, professor of ohom
istry at Clemson College, spoke next.
I lis address was on "Commercial fertili
zers, their mixture and application,"
and was woll rccoived. Ho advocated tho |
use of high-grade fertilizers, and showed
tho absolute folly of tho uso of an infe
rior ai tide. For instance, tho farmer
who buys a ton of tho host fertilizer bas
to pay tho freight on lt. mid also for tho
fertilizer, but ho gets something of
valuo for his money, whero tho man who
buys an inferior article gots it but little
cheaper than tho best, and what he puts
on bis laud amounts to about tho follow
ing:
Phosphoric acid.1,200 pounds.
Ammouiatod blood... 200 pounds.
Ktiinit. 200 pounds.
1,000 pounds.
This leaves -100 pounds lacking for tho
ton, which is Ulled in with some worth
less material, and tho farmer bas to pay
freight on 400 pounds of useless "Alling"
in every ton of his cheap fertilisers.
This is a wasto of monoy, a wast c of
time and does not henel ii tho land on
which lt is used.
Mr. O. M. Watson, who has ohargo of
tho poultry depart ment at (il eui son Col
logo, spoke next, his subject being
"Poultry on tho farm." Ho spoke of
tho great advantages to bo gained by tho
raising of good breeds of chickens, and
of the necessity for proper caro and
feeding. His remarks woro practical,
and the ladies woro especially interested
in his talk. Ho recommended as tho
best liokons to raise a cross between
tho Indian gamo and tho Leghorn or
Plymouth Hock. Thoso bo considered
tho best as egg producers and brooders,
and when this strain is carried out tho
poultry raiser has ono of tho most hardy
chickens that can be rained.
Col. J. 8. Newman, professor of agri
culture at Clemson, was tho next
speakor. His subject was, "(tot out of |
tho old ruts." Ho laid special stress on
the preparation of land for planting.
This, he said, was claimed by some to1
ho half tho work for a crop; ho claimed
it. was three-fourths. Another groat
thing is the selection of seed. Tho vory
best should always bo used, as tho best
results cannot bo obtained from inferior
seed. Terracing was nlso advooalod,
and tho speaker said it is a duty tho
farmer owes to himself to protect his
rolling land from washing and thus los
ing in valuo. This is a grass country,
and giass will pay tho farmor who raises
it. Bermuda, orelia -d grass, vetch, and
even blue grass, grow well in this sec
tion, and it ought to bo a regular pro
duct of every farm. Clovor, bo said,
was a goori thing, but peas aro far supe
rior, enrich (he land and are far moro
valuable as a commercial article. Ho is
a native of Virginia, whero tho clovor
Holds yield rich returns to tho planters,
yet ho is satlsllcd tho practical cultiva
tion of tho cow pea would bo far bettor
oven in a clover Stato. His talk was of |
practical valuo to farmers, and it it
matter for regret that ovory farmor in
Oconeo could not hear him and profit by
it.
At tho close of tho instituto a bounti
ful dinner was served by tho ladies, who
made tho guests at homo and contributed
much to the social feature of tho occa
sion. Tho young people enjoyed them
selves greatly after tho meeting, and
altogether thc gathering was ono to bo
long remembered, both for its pleasures
and its practical hench ts.
White Man Turned Yellow.
Croat consternation was folt by tho
friends of M. A. Ilogarty, of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw ho was turning yel
low. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and ho suffered torribly.
His malady was yellow jaundice. Hoi
was treated by tho host doctors, but
without benefit. Then ho was advised
to try Elect ric Hitters,. tho wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, and ho writes:
"After taking two bottles 1 was wholly
cured." A trial proves its matchless
merit for all stomach, livor and kidney
troubles. Only ?Oc. Sold by all drug

Bluishness and jealousy gone to soed !
Somebody should givo king Ahasuorus,
