PRACTICAL FARMING HINTS. Western Farmer Finds Ocohee Land as Hood UH Any. Editor Keowee Courier* I do not claim to know ail about farming, for farming ls a business in which one never gets through learning, and we farmers, when wo learn something new, should be glad to tell our bro ther farmers what we have learned. A good way to learn is to take a good farm paper, such as the Practical Fanner or The Ru rails t. I have traveled over several States, both North and South, and in the old ', country, and I am sorry to sa." that j some of the poorest farmers I have ever seen are right here In South Carolina, lt ls not the fault of the land, either, that they do not raise good crops, but the fault Hes with the tanners" themselves, ns 1 have proved to a good many here this 'summer. I came here through the instrumentality of Dr. T. G. C. Fahnestock, who wrote to me through the Practical Fanner, and 1 am not sorry I came, for I believe this is the healthiest country 1 ever visited. My wife and 1 have had the b.^st of health since we moved here, and we have come to stay. 1 did not like the looks o' the country when I first came, because tho cotton stalks were small and the corn the same way, and I could see no horse feed excel)t fodder. Hut as 1 had come 1 thought i could stand it ohe year and would give the land a trial; and. indeed, 1 was surprised, after planting some corn, to see how strong lt came up, for I looked for lt lo come up spindling. 1 did not expect to make over 10 or 1 ."> bushels per acre, but in place of that 1 have about s\r>, and if 1 had tnken pains like wc do in Hie North, and had bad the right kind of implements to work with, I believe lt would have made at least 100 bushels. Another thing I see done wrong is the sowing of oats or wheat with the same drill used to plant cot ton. In place of having two or three drills In one row, there ought to be five, and sowed with a wheat drill and fertilized with the right kind of fertilizer, made especially for wheat. This fertilizer will make the Straw stiff and the grain plump and will save your stable manure for the corn Held, where lt ought to go. Corn should be the main crop here, for all Southerners like corn bread, and 1 don't see why they raise cot ton In this setclon, for corn can be raised here as good as In the North and West, and it can be raised for 30 or '15 cents a bushel. Yet when we buy corn 1 lind it costs from $1 to $1.10 a bushel. I think every far mer should raise lils own feed and his own bread and meat and every thing else he can; then If he has a nice piece of land he can spare, plant that in cotton and try to make a big crop of it on as few acres as possible. Then lt will be a pleasure to pick the cotton, for you will not have to break your back to pick it, and you can hold your cotton for a good price, for you have your living ahead. In place of running In debt for every thing to eat and feed your horses and mules, paying about 10 per cent, as well as three prices when you pay cash, you can go where you please to buy, and when you give a mortgage you must buy of the man who holds it, and if he sees or hears that you are going to have a poor crop he looks out to not let you get In his debt too much, and when you come to sell your cotton you have got to take Just what they will pay you. The more cotton you raise the poorer your land will get, and you get as poor as the land. My advice ls. raise plenty to eat and plenty to feed; save lots of manure and apply lt to the land with plenty of elbow grease. If any farmer will follow this advice for a year or two he will be glad that he did lt, and he will see where lt ls poor policy to raise so much cotton. Don't raise cotton, but raise corn and hay, Plow your land deep, so lt won't wash away; Be careful about seed, and get the best ; You will save lots of time, and then you can rest. There's no rest for the larmer, you hear people say, For when they're not plowing they're out In the hay; Hut the fanner who farms right rests all the time, For the sweetest of rest ls rest of the mind. - W.

THE BOOK SPRINGS MEETING. Mrs. llorliert and Miss Gary Were Greatly Appreciated. Richland. Oct. 1.-Special: At 3 o'clock Sunday, the 20th, Mrs. E. S. Herbert and Miss Gary lectured to a tull house at Rock Springs church. lt would have been a benediction to have heard Mrs. Herbert and seen lier sweet face If 'die had not said a word. But when she took the chair ind began talking to the children we dd people felt lt was "good to be lhere." She showed a tiny rib bon representing $1,000,000 spent in the Interest of temperance In the L ulled States, then $10,000,000 for missions. We felt very proud, but as she went on and on and showed what ivas spent for useless things, then the barnful, on to whiskey, it amounted to so many millions that no one of ns could live long enough to count lt. lt was an object lesson that the hlldren who so gracefully unrolled the ribbons will never forget. When Miss Emma Gary arrived from Cen ter (where she had spoken to a .rowded house) Mrs. Herbert In troduced her to the congregation and die gave a fine lecture on teinper Ittce. She had a full house, and held t until sundown. We were only torry she did not have time to tell is something on "China, Old and S'ew," "Japan and Her Hidden Pires" and "Around Our Little World." We knew, from press accounts of Her, that she was a (lue speaker. She ?/as one of the speakers at the great ecumenical Conference In New York 3Ity In 1000, and In London in 1001. iVe were expecting a good deal, still die gave us a little more than we vere expecting "just from a woman." ?>he showed how whiskey would iring men down from the highest ype to the lowest outcast; how lt ivas so easy, after being under the nil nonce of whiskey, to add every >t her sin in ci nick succession. Miss Emma Gary, teacher, mission ary, traveler and lecturer, ls of a ?louth Carolina family. This family lias given able ministers, physicians, ludges, statesmen, Governors nnd United States Senators to our coun try, as well as a brave general of the 31vll War. On her mother's side are the Crooks and Rldgoways, of Vir ginia and Georgia, and the Tlllmans >f South Carolina. After her lecture she sang a Chl ?ese song, which the grown people mjoyed as much as the children nrhom she sang lt for. While she ?/as singing our pastor passed some 'ards to the walting congregation to utbscrlbe to tho temperance cause Vf tor laking up a collection we vere dismissed hy Rev. J. L. Single on, to whom much of tho success of he meeting is due. After the benediction Mrs. Herbert md Miss Gary received the congrega lon. The hand-shaking must have leen something like a White House .eceptlon. After the speaking was iver several of the gentlemen begged dlss Gary tor her lecture that they night have it printed. She said "it vas from the heart; she spoke as the liord directed her." She did not even lave notes. S.

Patten is published in the New York .lou nial of Coin meroe: .lame? A. Patten, of Chicago, the manipulator of the wheat market, who gained much notoriety last spring. Bat lu the customers' room of a William street brokerage house and talked freely to all coiners about crop and market conditions, dealing particularly with tho cotton market "I didn't sell a bale of cotton to day: I bought cotton," declared Mr. Patten in nu Interview with a Jour nal of Commerce representative. "How much? I decline to answer." 'Many people appear to be won dering why I am Interested In cot ton," lie continued, "lt came about In this way. My linn has a private wire system extending all over the country. Into the cotton ns 'veil as the wheat and corn producing can ters. Our customers asked our id vice about cotton and I began to in vestigate crop conditions. All the established reports pointed to a uniall production, and my own inform?t km was of tlie same character. There fore, I am in the cotton markot. "I am firmly convinced that the present cotton crop will sell above 17 cents-that the record pr?tes of the Sully year will be better. This conclusion ls based solely on crop conditions and the Increased con sumption of the staple. I know the outlook to be poor In all producing States, especially in Texas, which is the most important of all." Mr. Patten had much to say about supply and demand and his methods of operating the market. Ho had just been told, he said, that 350.000 l aies of cotton will be used thia year in the manufacture of automobile tires. The tariff on woolens, he be lieved, would cause a larger con sumption of cotton cloths in this country. "I am In the cotton market to i.tay," he said. "I don't buy to-day to sell to-morrow. Neither do I ope rate on any $2 a bale margin. Of course I shall sell some time, but when that time conies I shall have goon reasons." Mr. Patten said he was still in the wheat market to a considerable ex tent, his firm at this time carrying 1,600,000 bushels in cash wheat lil elevators and bought to arrive. The "Wheat King" said he had all the money he wanted, made In wheat market manipulation this year. Ho sporte of the amount of money he had given away, saying that Ms char, liable expenditures this year would amount to more than the total In come from all lils Investments. "That doesn't mean that I give away all I make," he added.
