It Cleveland Is Not Noininat,ed the Canil date Will Come 1froma the Wet-All Denocrats Agreoe on Tariir Iteform and it Must Come. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, is one of the Democrats In Congress who believes his party is going to win the next Presi dential contest without regard to who the Republicans may nominate. Ile dis. putes the prediction of Congrebsman .Boutelle, of Maine, that "the DefiocratE will defeat themselves." Senator Kenna is one of the ablest a) the young members of' the Senate. it has Lein in both houses of Congress for the pa. fourteen years, having served tour terms in the house iand is now i: the imidst of his second term in the Sen ate. In the House le was one of' tl leaders or his party, and lie at once wen to the ront when he entered the Sdnate Recently he has been in poor health an< undcr the circuistances obhuged to ab stain from taking a too active part it the proceTediings. His judgement I sound and his advice is highly regarde by his Senatorial associates. Whil conversing with him a few days ag,o asked him how he regarded the politica situation from a Dlnocratic standpoint "Well," said lie, "I would rather sc agitation and a diecussion of men ani measures betore the Convention that afteiward.11 "Will not the present condition c atf'airs in New York seriously complicat matters in the Democratic party?" "The whole country is asking tha same question," said hc, "and that i itscif will induce the conflicting faction to come together on a friendly basis and as it becomes more and more appar cut will influence their followers Lo set tLie down rather than sacrifice our pros Iects of success. "It is not the discussions and con troversies which occur prior to the meet iug A a convention which are mo3 (laimaing. The greatest trouble arise. from a wranile in convention, the ionm inlation of an unpopular candidate, fol lowed by an irreconcilable dispute be. tween the victorious and the defeatet factions. There is an element in every party which like to fel that its wisihe: and desires predominate in the imatnige inent of great political struggles, but when brought flce io face withi a propo sition to yiuld or subject the party tc (lefeat an amicable adijustment can eaisly be reached. 1)emocrats of the deffer sonian bran'id do not sulk in their tents,. Tiey"'regard party success first, per 4onlail aibitions last."' "4low about the P'residency. Who will be tile Delmocratic n1om11ince?" " 'Cleveland or some other man outside 01 New York." "Vlat are Iill' chances' "I don't believe lie stands the slight est chance. lie is unquestionable very strong in New York, but lie has no fot. lowig oitside of ls State. 10 the New Yorkers refused to accept Cleveland we wilt have to pass them and go ito Some other State for our leader. In view ol the. present condition of aflairs thee, I consider te chances of Senator Gor mian, Governor Boies, Gen Stevenson 0f Illinois, who wIs first aq1sistalnt Post master genleral under Clteveland, 01 someI other WesCternm man11 exceedinlgl' good.

Even it we could pass several speeific bills changing the iduty on cert,ain ar'ticles circumlstances mis:ht change wit,hin the next six mont,hs to necessitate a reversal of the action we p)rop)ose to take now.

Of' course we ennnot expect to agree on every minor dletail, but by th,at means we could p)rob. ably.lafce on record a n'easure repre senting the general wishies of all our people." "'What is tile matter with the Mills bill; does it not represent the combined views of the entire Democratic party?" "No, it does not. It was one of the most arbitrary concoction s ever framed. It simply represented tile views, of eight men who prep)ared1 it. They ref'used to take counsel or accept suggestions from thleir party associates, and whlen t.hev had finished their work the party was directed to commit itself to it or else be charged with antagonizing the policy of the party. There should be no troubile in bringing about an amicable under. standing on tis question by tile repre, sentatives of the pe'ople.

Feiton, tobacco agent at Qunicy, Fla., writes as follows to Ilie Augusta Chronicle: Dear Sir: I beg to ofler the follow iug suggestions upon the cultivation of tobacco in this section, and fully believe thal, an observance of them will produce the most satisfactory result: 1. Selection of seed. a. Seed from the Vuelta le Abajo District of Cuba is beyond doubt the best for this section, since it produces both a good filler and wrapper. 2. Time to plant seed. a. The proper time to lant seed is in Jauuary, February aud March, the two former months producmg the best re stilts, while the sowing in March is nec essary for resetting and late plant,ing. 3. Location and preparation of seed beds. a. It is Well to select two locations for seed beds if possible, one in a low damp place, and the other in rich up landq. By this, disastrous result, of a .vet or dry scason may be ayoided. 1b. Upon the spots selected burn -,ai abundaucu of' wood and brush for the purpose of' killing insects and the ashe's to serve as lertilizer. C, If aiy roots remain reillove themli, it pot3sible, aid work the groild tiroughlv with t plouIghi or hoe. 1puil verizint vell, sloping tihe bu1 face slight ly to prevent, water standing on the beds. d. Sow the seed and rake it in. One Iables)oonful of seed should be Vsown to each square rod of hatid, whicli will produce sullicient plants for sett,ing one acre. In order to sow the seed evenly it is well to mix it with meal or I wood slies. Should the weather coil 3 tiiic dry the beds mu-it be watered as may be necessary. .4. Transplantiig. ia. Plants are ready to be put, out ,vhen from three to six inches high, anid tile wolk is done similarly to tlle ma11n - ner ill which cabbage plaits are hlaud led. - The roots should stick or lork. and care ied not to bruise the plant iii any way. 5. Soil for fields. a. Cow pen manuire and cottoi sed compost, ilake gso I fer-tilizers, of the latter lifty to ole hun111dred bushels to the acre should be used, according to the t hlan1d. 7. l'repiarig fields. it. 'T'lle fields should be well worked. aid mllade as mellow a1s possible alid Ier tilizers well worked in. b. The field shouhll be iade into small rows, (two smnall furrows thrown ,)gehe %vr,) ow.s to be from three to four L feet apart, and plant, set from fifteen to "ighiteei inches apart, depeidiwng on v tile richilets of tile la d. S. Culture of planit. a. Fields must be kept well cultivated and free from weeds. The soil niust be kept mnellow, and if it for any sea4oni be comies hard or crusty it must at ol(ce be worked Wilh1 a team or hoe. b. As s()oon ats tle bloom shows the bud shoul be brokei oil, leaviii oil the top of* tile plant a good healtihy-lookiit le, f. Some bifference ofopiion exists as to the best time for topping, but the best results have been obtained as above. C. A lier the plant is topped a sucker will grow to each leaf', which should he picked ollwhen two or three inches long, andll nelver allowed to) remam1111 on theC stalk and be gathered. I, Iilrvesting,~ a. Tlohacco should lbe hiarvestedl by TcuIttinIg the enltire phm3lt whieni it is tilorouILe lly r'ije, and not iby str'ippinzg its leatves from time to time, as8 is some1 timelts done. b,.

Tihe r'ipeness of theC planit dIll nxot always be deI'terined by~ it.s color. I10. Tob;acco sheds. a. Thlese should lbe so built, as to gi ve a good circullation of air frzom buti tomi to top), and1( arran3Iged toi he closed wihen neCce'ssary. b. A shed 60o by 312 fe-et, w ithi 12-fl i4 11osts, 1s fI sulflicienit sizeC to clure Iiv'e aIcres of t.obacc>. I1. I langing ml sheds. a. After a plant is cut, it, shoul, if possib!c, not he laid up~on the ground10 as sand may adhere to it, causing tr'outbe whlen the tobacco reaches the factory. b. Plant,s should be hung seven oir eight inches alpart biotih ways. c. TIhey may either be tied to ai lath 0or pole or the stalk split alnd a plointedl lath r'un through It,, put,ting six or eight Ilanlits oin a lath. Pole laths should1( be hunitg in a1 manner that, they will best econoize slpace. dI. Th'le shedi shlould be well venltilated until the tobacco is well wilt.ed dIown and1( the lantts hanmg clear of' each other. 12. P'rennemng for ma.rket,. a. W lhen t,he main steim of tile lcaf'can be pinched near the seed and show no sap1 tIle leaves are ready to be strip)pedl. b. Th'ie leaves siloLull be carefully sortedl, rauggedl, p)oor and( green leaves being p)lacedl together, anld respective (If sizes, allso some coarse leaves from tile 10op. The goodl ie'ives should be dividedi as to size, long together and1( short to get he r, c. They arec then to be tr-ied( into Pack ages, or hanuds, of' ab out, thirty leaves each. In placing them in packages each lenf' should( retainl its natural shape as5 stripphedl f'rom the stalk, and not, mi anyV case lie smo~othed out flat. d. In bulking away or boxing keep a the diffecrent grad(es or kinds oIf palckalges . by th1emlselves, and1( Pack by lapping tihe 1 tIps of tile packages. When bexifng use e only clean dIry boxes, leaviing small space between the ends of pakages and1( box to prevent, nmoulding. D)o not, letI the b)oxes remain on tile izrouind, 13. Insects. a1. Insects may threaten plantts at 3111y i time. Th'ie cut wornm usually a ppears e immediateiy after transplanting, Thle most, e flectual re medy is onie tablespIoon-l fiul of' Paris green to f'our quarters of' a meal or flour-, mfix well and11 spi inkle the plants11. A perf'orated can or pepper box can be uisedl for this purpose. b. The born amt1( budworms appearJ while the plant, iS inl its gr'owth, and I must, bo quhickly plickedl off', or' the plant "1 is ruinied. Tile hornworm fly can be a destroyed by use of' Jamestown (gymp son) weed blossoms, poisoned with coi balt. Place the blossoms In the field at v night on a stick, and the fly is killed by ~ sucking the poisoned honey. - It will afl'ord ime plealsure to give youl( any further information desired.

Mr. 1uinston of' Kansas said he would not oppose the investigation, if it was lair and iipartial, but it would bei con diucted upon a partisan batis. There were ten men against, live, and the testi moiiy would be biased. The inference to be drawn was that the farmers were opposed to the l>resent. McKinley tarif.

'Vit II i mhroi ele Imlakes ai ii; crtsting utatvjuicnt about Col. ,Jis. Al. Smith, of Ozlethorpe County, Ga. His extensive arm of 15,00 acres, teeming each year with such products of the soil as are needed for home con suniption, together with the surplus crop of cotton, shows him to be one ot the larg(st as well as one of the most :mccessful farniers in the South Atlan t.ic States. IlI e is a practical business man and st.nds ais a living domonstration of Ihe success of larming in the South when properly conducte-f. Ilia plans are wise in coiception and satisfactory in operation. Ilis barti and smoke house are at home, and whatever may he the fituctuatioms of prices in Chicago, lie is safe and independent. I Iall of his f arim is planted iin cotton. The other half is planted in lleld crops for homnt, consitoption. That is all. TI:is plai, says Mr. Siith,-and lie spe.iks from experience as well as from inforimatioit- - if followed out year by year, is houmd to be successful in the long run. I hs cotton is converted into ready cas,;h, :IIud with an abundance of Corn, whuat., oats, hay, as well as pota toes, peas, cabb:age, onions, etc., lie feeds his wage hands arid tenant ,sells a con siderable Iuantity, and still has a sulli cient aimoit, to feed to his horses and inu les and to the hogs and cattle which further afford a handsome income. L,ast year he raised 5,000 bushels of rust proof oats, which he sold for seed at 31.per bushel, after saving enough for his own and his tenants' use. The average yitld was thirty bushels per acre. From 700 acres lie raised 6,000 bushels of wheat. A portion of this lie sold for $1.25 per bushel. The bal ance lie ground into flour, with which his hands and tenants were supplied. The bran was fed to his livestock. Ile raised 175 hogs which average 165 pounds net. lie keeps a herd of (00 Lattle, among them being a number of registerca lolsteins. lie is now fat tening 60 steers, which he will sell the latter part of March, and which he thinks will average 1,500 pounds gross. le nmilks 75 cows, and after amply sup plying bis plantation, sells quantities )f imilk and butter and feeds ouantities more to the hogs. .ir. Sniith, tnerefore, naturally con ,iders oats and wheat a profitable crop. Aside fromn the grain itself, the straw Ind bran are valuable for the stock. 'otton seed hulls and meal in proper )roportion, he thinks the best food for ,at tie. .le allows that the average farmer 11 the Soith is not very successfOl, but his is, in many cases, the farmer's own ault. What Mr. Smith has done can Iot he di;puted. Starting at the close f the war without a dollar, he now wns his line plantation, well stocked, in which a private railroad lifteen miles mn length is operated, and otherwise is upplied with every advantaue. What e has done others can do. lie advises hem to live within their inconme and Lvoid the credit system. Cotton has leclined 30 per cent., but by reducing xpenses 30 per cent., they will keep on i level. If they raise their supplies at 1one, they may not handle so much noney, buit they will still be better oil. nt two years this plan would show 'ratitying r(stilts. .Now are these the hardest times vhich the South has ever seen. Mr. ~mit h lemnembers that in 1841;, when he .ame to Augusta, cotton sold at 4%~ enits, and good shirtin.g was considered igh at 3% cents. Times were then tard, indleed. The animuns of Is argumient is COn ainedl in the advice that farmers "raise verythming for man and beast at home." ['hereby hangs all the law and the iospel. lie believes it and has (lemon ;trate'd it. There is much in the above whiich (ve~ry farmier in GeCorgia anid larolina should take home with him. liihe facts shouldl( be burnedl into Iris Weait unt11il he realizes that he can and nust live at hiomie, and when careful >ianms (diligenitly executed on this line seomsie general throughout the South ta ny of the cii erical oppressionsa A hichi (listress tihe farmner will be ex >loded, the real ones be remedied, and, cli suistaining arid independent, ihe vi I ride in con the lloodi-tide of pros )enilty.
