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:

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

"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

(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

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.

Practical Hints on the Cultivation ofI
Tobacco.
Mr. H1eury J. 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,. A IlanLt is .sutliuientlyv r'ipe whenCI
the lealves near11 thle to)p will snapIf wheni
iinchled oin the unider' side betwveeni fthe
stems. 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.
Address all communications to Quin. a

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER

'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
