A GOOD YEAR TOR OATS.
A commercial traveler, whose home is in
this city, returned from a trip down the Co- j
lumbia and Greenville Railroad last week i
looking care-woni and disconsolate, friend- {
leas and forsaken?as though he was almost !
ready to give up in despair and quit the business
of drumming. He is usually a most vi-.
vacious and lively man, and can keep up in j
spirits against great odds and in despite of i
what would generally be considered the most 1
trying circumstances. But for once he was !
overcome and lost his equilibrium. It came ;
about in this way :
As before stated, he went down on the 0. & ;
G. R. It. on business, and at the station below i
Hodge's got off of the train and with sample !
case in hand walked into tlie store of one of i
his customers, and extending his hand, said : j
'Good morning. How are you to-day ?"
"Three men in this neighborhood made j
ten IiIIOUSHUU uusueis UL uncn tun vcui : w
claimed the merchant.
"Well that was certainly very fine yields," j
replied the commercial traveler. "Is there ;
not something in iny line that.1 can take your j
order for to-day ?"
"Without a doubt, the oat crop has saved ;
this country from bankruptcy !" responded the i
merchant with considerable emphasis.
"It certainly has been a great relief to the
farmers," the traveler remarked, slightly
amused.
"Oats are good for horses, cows, chickens,
l?eople?good for everything," said the merchant,
excitedly.
"But what's the matter, my friend, did you
never make any oats in this section before V"
inquired the traveler.
"Oats, man, oats! ten thousands of oats!"
exclaimed the merchant, pushing up his
sleeves and advancing towards the traveler,
who nervously picked up his sample case and
made for the door, concluding that it would
not be prudent to remain longer.
As lie entered the store of another customer
he was greeted with, "Come in ; glad to see
you. One man in this neighborhood made
ten thousand bushels of oats, and in old Abbeville
county there has been over five hundred
thousand bushels harvested. The country
is safe for another year," and he came down
with a blow upon the traveler's head with his
hand that almost felled him to the floor, knocked
tlie cat off the counter with the yard stick
and kicked it out of the door, and turning to
the traveler again insisted that they ought to
take a drink together.
"No, I thank you," replied the traveler,
with a puzzled air. "I thought I might be
able to sell to yon some goods to-day."
"Nothing pays better than oats. The crop
in this county this year is worth at least three
hundred thousand dollars, and next year our
crop will be still bigger," remarked the merchant,
earnestly.
"Did you never make any oats here before
asked the traveler, exhibiting some annoy
ance.
"Five hundred thousand bushels of oats
for old Abbeville county!" shouted the merchant,
vehemently, and with a kick he sent
his little dog howling out of the door.
The traveler grabbed his sample case and
started for the hotel, and on the way met an
old colored woman, who carried on her head
a tin bucket, and as she asked, with a smile,
'Say boss, you want some nice, ripe oats?"
he shook as if seized with an ague, and only
when she corrected herself by saying, "oh, 110,
some blackberries ?" did he recover from the
shock.
"Anything, Aunty, but oats," he promptly
responded, and hurried on to the hotel, at the
door of which he met the landlord, to whom
he said : "My friend, I want a room quick ; I
want to rest."
".Say, Tom, here ! give this man someoats I"
shouted the landlord to a 16-year old darkey.
"Oats! oats! What do you reckon I want

W11/11 UrtlO . OtlUiUJLU VIIV vutll^vu V4UIV*V?*
"Oh, no! I meant show him to a room.
Great heavens, the oats! Ten thousand bushels
of oats made on one farm in old Abbeville
this year, stranger. The oats, the oats !"
"Oats! oats! repeated the son of Ilam as
he guided the exhausted man to his room.
"Great heavens, the oats," sighed our traveler
as he stretched himself upon his bed for
repose.
In a few moments Tom returned with a
pitcher of fresh water, and remarked as he
sat it on the stand, "Boss, here's some
fresh oats I fotch yer."
"Oat ? oats ?" What do I want with fresh
oats!" stormed the traveler, springing to his
feet and letting fly a boot jack at head of reretreating
Tom.
Scarcely had his nerves become quiet when
the dinner bell Ring. With misgivings as to
the propriety of the venture, he slowly made
his way down to the dining room and took a
seat near the door. As one afteranother came
into the room he could see plainly depicted in
every countenance the evidence of a happy
heart within. Men looked at each other and
smiled, and just iis our traveler began to congratulate
himself upon at last finding pleasant
company, in rushed Tom and enquired, "Boss,
have your oats fried or scrambled ?"
"Have my oats fried or scrambled ? Great
spoons."
"Five hundred thousand bushels of oats
mailo in nl/1 A Mw^villp Pmintv tllis Veai"." eX
claimed the landlord, as he walked in and took
his seat at the head of the table, while Tom
explained, "Oh, Boss, I mean eggs."
"Give me my oats bard boiled and my eggs
raw, you skunk, if I must eat oats,'- was the
confused answer of the confused traveler.
And then the company, with an air of selfsatisfaction,
proceeded to devour the contents
of the board, not neglecting to thoroughly
post the stranger in their gates as to the particulars
concerning the fine oat crop ; and the
traveler, in turn, becoming more and more
nervous as one after another would thrust the
information upon him.
But all eyes are turned toward the door as
the big fat cook makes her appearance, and
when she remarks, with a broad smile, ",Jist
heard dat Mr. Jones made four thousand bushels
uv oats on ten acre uv ground," the landlord
conies down with a terrible blow upon
the table with his fist, sends the dishes rattling
to the lloor, our traveler grabs up the
carving knife, backs up into one corner of the
room, while all the house liecomes a scene of
tumult. Our little man defies the town while
1 he excited Abbevillians shout, "Hurrah for
old Abbeville county. Oats, millions of oats !
and the country is safe for one more year."
And one by one they file out of the room,
when in* comes the good lady of the house,
charges the traveler with having broken her
dishes and threatens hinrwith the police.
But he escapes to his room, gathers up his
duster and sample case, and as he walks out to
meet the up-train the last sound that breaks
upon his ear is the sweet voice of a sweet
maiden as she sweetly sings, "Coming Through
the?Oats."?Anderson Intellvjenrer.

the other day, the prosecution introduced a
blind man, who had to be led to the witness
box. "Is this a legal trial or a farce ?" demanded
the lawyer for the defence, as he sprang
up. "This is a legal trial," replied the other
lawyer. "And you want a blind man sworn
to tell what he saw, do you ?" "I don't claim
tliat I saw the fight," replied the witness, as
he turned around. "Then what do you know
about it ?" "Well, sir, I'm going on thestand

PREPARING FOR TURNIPS, ETC.
The practice so common all over the country,
of sowing turnips on Land from which another
crop has just been cleared, leaving the soil
full of roots and stems of grass and weeds,
and very soft and open, is annually demonstrated
to be wrong by results on some properly
prepared patch, and yet few profit by the
lesson. No crop, except perhaps wheat delights
in soil which has been subjected to
clean culture, as does the turnip family. The
old-fashioned cow-pen, in which the cattle of
the farm are kepi during summer nights, if
repeatedly plowed during the spring and early
summer, makes an admirable turnip patch,
but the cow-pens are not always available.
In the absence of these, therefore the next best
thing to be done is to select a plat of ground
from which beans or potatoes have been gathered
for early market and which was heavily
manured for these croj>s. Plow and manure
and manure and plow every week until
time to sow the turnip seed; then distribute
200 pounds of good suj>erphospliate per acre,
in small furrows opened for the purpose: bed
on this and harrow and rake over the beds.
If the land is free from stumps, loots and
rocks, the small seed sower which opens the
furrow, sows the seed and covers them at a
single operation, will give a more uniform
stand than can be secured by band-sowing,
besides economising seed. The drill is pushed
by hand like a lawn-mower. It saves the
labor of two hands and a horse in sowing the
seed. All who plant as much as half an acre
in turnips, should have one.
Rutabagas and flat Dutch should be sown
early in July; we have.seen excellent crops
made by sowing In June. The white Globe,
I the handsomest turnip grown, should be sown
early in August, and the Aberdeen by the
middle, in this latitude. These dates* will
vary as latitude increasesordiminishes. Further
North, tliey will be sowu earlier and latei
South. What is known as the seven top variety,
is the most reliable for winter and
spring salad, but make very small roots. They
grow however deep in the ground and stand
the winter well.
The turnip crop is a profitable crop in the
vicinity of large cities, where a daily market
is afforded, and on the farm it serves a good
purpose for feeding stock ; not on account ol
their nutritive value, which is very small in
comparison with other roots, but on account
of their appetizing effect; they supplement
the dry food on which stock usually subsist in
winter and contribute to their health. Turnips
have a lower seed value than sweet potatoes
and are not so well adapted to our climate,
but are more cheaply produced and should
have a place not only in every Southern garden,
but on every farm or plantation. Most
growers make the mistake of leaving Hit
plants too thick in the drill, and even if they
are reduced to a projier stand, this is often
deferred until the plants become spindling
from being crowded, and as a result, nevei
make so good plants as those which had ample
room during their early growth. They
should stand from six to ten inches apart in
the drill.?Southern World.
Thk Summek Fallow.?The Summer. 01
bare fallow, was formerly considered the best
method for preparing land for the wheat crop.
The exposure of the soil to atmospheric and
other influences, for a whole season, has an excellent
effect, but it is not necessary. A croj;
may be grown, and if rightly attended to, the
succeeding grain crop may lie as good as when
preceded by a season of fallow. The good results
of a fallow are the most evident upon a
clay land. The mechanical texture of the soil
is improved by the frequent plowing and stirring,
thus opening the soil for the free entrance
of the air, and the better circulation of the
soil water. These mechanical improvements
facilitate the decomposition of some of the
constituents of the soil, liberating potash and
other essential elements of plant food from the
locked-up and insoluble chemical compounds
of the soil. The ammonia of the atmosphere,
which enters the soil with the rain, is more
readily absorbed, and, last but not least, tne
vegetable matter in the soil is more quickly
and thoroughly decouqiosed and thereby made
available for sustaining the growing plants.
All these points are gained by a Summer fallow
upon a heavy clay soil, but with a light soil
there is no such demand for mechanical improvement,
and no corresponding advantage
gained in a chemical point of view. Nearly
all that can be gained by a year of clean culture
is obtained by a hoed or root crop. With
it the weeds can be killed as effectually as in
the fallow; the soil will receive enough culture
to make it sufficiently open for the circulation
of air. There will be a large gain iti
the amount of the nitrates and other valuable
nitrogen compounds. In the fallow these are
formed during the hot months of the year,
and, being very soluble, are washed out of the
soil by heavy rains, while, if there is a crop,
the nitrates, etc., are taken up as food, and
stored away, to be used for some succeeding
crop. Besides, the root crop will furnish a
large amount of excellent food for the farm
stock, and finally yield a quantity of valuable
manure, to be returned to the soil. With a
root crop introduced into the rotation, there
is seldom a demand for a summer fallow.?

How to Can- Fruit.?As the season Tor
canning fruit is near at hand, we present the
following :
First prepare the fruit by picking it over,
l>eeling, or whatever else is required. Place
it neatly in the jars in layers, putting sugar
between the layers. Use none but the best
refined or white sugar, as the yellow is apt to
impart a disagreeable taste and color. It is
hardly necessary to add any water, though
that may be done if yo deem it best, according
to the kind of fruit. Place a few straws or
small sticks across the bottom of your boiler,
put in water, and set it on the stove to boil.
Bring the wafer to a boiling point, and let it
continue there as long as may be required for
that kind of fruit. Set the jars on a table to
cool, and when the fruit is nearly cold apply
the tops and screw them down tightly. For
cherries, blackberries, strawberries, whortleberries,
grapes, plums, currants, gooseberries
orwl Will inn f/* fu'nlvrn ininiitnc
and put a half pound of sugar to the quart of
berries. For peaches and quinces boil twenty
minutes and use the same quantity of sugar
as for the small fruits. Pears and tomatoes
will require a half hour or more to boil, and
less sugar is required for then), especially the
tomatoes. Examine the jars in a few days,
and if any of the fruit shows signs of working
set it on the stove and boil again, taking care
to remove the cover of the jars before doing
so, or the steam will break tliern asunder.
Give time to cool before screwing the tops
down. The jars must be air-tight, or the fruit
will not keep well.?ltural Mrssenyer.
Youxg pakukus. ?The hope of improvement
in agricultural development in this country,
depends 011 the young farmers, who have
taken hold of the business as a means of making
a livelihood. With the intelligence and
activity that are inherent qualities of the
progeny of the successful planters of the olden
time, these energetic young men are exhibiting
remarkably fine traits and qualities that
assure success. To those who propose engaging
in the business, there is a world of wisdom
in the following remarks of a eotemporary,
the writer of which has evidently been a close
observer. He says, young man, if you are going
to be a farmer, be a good one. lie the
chief worker yourself. It is the first that wins
esteem and respect. Study, observe and listen,
and gather information pertainingto your
business from every source, and you can soon
know as much as any one. Let no day pass
without some increase of knowledge. Whatever
you cultivate, do it well. Whatever
stock you have, let it lie good, and take good
care of it, and improve it as fast as your means
will admit. Whatever fruit you have, let it
be choice, and study how to improve ii, how
to market it so as to get the highest price. If
you have a garden, let it be the first in the
neighborhood. Pent the head of the class,
not third or fourth, or at the foot.

THE INCARNATION A NECESSITY. | 1
It is to be always reraemt>ered that ministers j(
j do not make the objects of faith. These exist. 1j
j They stand out in tl>e universe. Tliey are j'
j facts. They do not dejiend upon being be- j *
lieved by men. . No man may believe in their ]
existence, but that has not the least effect upon j
their existence. Whatever controversies may
rage among men on the question as to wheth-. '
'! er there be any sun, there is the sun in the j!
'' heavens all the same. The distant fixed stars ; <
were as j>onderous and bright before the in- i1
! struments of astronomy brought the knowl- j j
| edge of their existence to men as they were
after. Our knowledge, as our ignorance, did 1
j not touch these facts. Hut it did touch the 1
; facts of our existence. ]
! It does make a difference with us whether 1
; we know a fact or uot. The existence oT God '
'does not depend ui>on our knowing it, but we ]'
are greatly affected by our knowledge or igno- j ]
ranee ot' that largest fact in all the universe, j ]
The work oi a rnnstian minister is not to i.
make a truth, a saving truth, but it is to (lis-'!
cover what are, saving truths, and to make I:
1 those saving truths known to his fellowmen. :
To attempt to make men believe as a saving 11
! truth some proposition which does not embody !1
: a truth, but does contain an idea which, if re-:'
; ceived, will give the teacher thereof power M
) j over his fellow-man, is a species of priestcraft, 1
' ' and all priestcraft is despicable. But to strive j j
' to make a man know what really does exist is !1
; to give the highest proof of disinterested pliil- j ]
i; anthropy. j;
> j It is not very difficult to make men under- j j
, ; stand the statement, "There is a God." In- 1
i ! deed, when once heard, all nature pours in on j1
! j the most obtuse intellect and the most careless j1
I j mind, such abounding proofs of its truth that j
j it is kept before the eyes of men. But, grand- ;
I est and most fundamental fact as that is, it is '
! a most barren fact in its abstract statement. j
I The truth is, that abstractions have little j
' J power on the human imagination, on the '
I | heart, and on the life. Men must have some- !
I thing to concrete. They must have a notion j
i of a being or thing, not as in the intellect of
; the thinker, but as is in nature, with its '
1 qualities; or they must have the quality or
: the attribute as it consists with some sub- j
i stance, some thing, some being. It is so in
: earliest childhood, and so down to the latest !
; old age. Many learned and accotnplshed peoi
j pie would to-day be more interested in a fable, I
i a tale, a picture, a simile, that carries the
I truth concretely than the most perfect pre,
jsentation of ideas of truth. It was knowl- 1
1 j edge of this which crowded the preaching of 1
| Jesus with parables or fables, and which makes '
; | the sparkle or splendor of any human lan-j
! j guage.
We want to "realise" everything. It is a j
i i greater and loftier thing to idealise; but life j
' is too short to do much of that. We are not
yet in the swaddling bands of our bodily (
senses. He seems to us most good who makes .
us "see" anything or "feel" anything.
i It is so of God, our Father. It would never !
j have been any use to us to tell us that God i
I is father, if the relation between human fath
j er and child had not been made. Men whose ;
minds are the most thoroughly disciplined i
have an extreme difficulty in conceiving the i
abstract idea of so simple a relation as "fath.
er;" but every child knows enough of its
i meaning to make God dear to him, because
concretely, that is, in nature, in a real man, j
he has seen exhibited the characteristics of <
nuuemoou.
The whole nature of man demands a con- :
crete God.
We cannot live on thin abstractions. We
must know and seeand hear and feel our God.
When the best human intellect has done its
: mightiest to comprehend the abstract ideas
of power, wisdom, truth, and love, and the ;
abstract idea of God; and, going further,
joined, as best it may, those attributes with
i that Being, it has what does not come down
to its home, its heart, its business. God must j
manifest himself, or he can be of little help
and comfort to us.?F. Deems.
THE HOX. MK. LOT, OF SODOM. '
Now if wet let the Lord choose for us he 1
will choose for us better than we can ourselves.
But Lot wanted to choose for himself. I will 1
venture to say, when he left Abraham, if you i
had talked to him about going to Sodom he I
would have said: "0, no! Go down to So- i
domV Do you think I would take my wife I
into Sodom V Do you think I would take my i
children down into Sodom?into that great
city with all its temptations? Not 1!" But '
he pitched his tent toward Sodom?he look- '<

his business took him there. lie went down I
there perhaps to sell his cattle, and found a l
good market. Some of the leading men wanted
him to go down there, lie could make a <
great deal of money?could make it faster. I
When a man pitches his tent before Sodom I

that came to their ears, offered to provide a !
Iiearse at their own expense for all interments,
to take away the excuse for no such indul-'
?ence : but the proposed innovation was resist- i
sd for many years. ()n one occasion a party j
returning after the. funeral and subsequent re- j
freshment, some kind friend had lent them j
i cart to ride home in. A discussion on some i
point, whether political or religious T cannot |
say, arose, the result being that those who i
adopted the one side of the question refused I
to ride in the sameYJaffc with their opponents,!
and the weaker side was consequently "disrupted"
into the road and had to walk the remainder
of the journey. The custom of not
supplying drink to the mouniers till the burial
was completed was one which might have been I
imitated with advantage elsewhere. On the !
south bank of the Clyde it did not prevail, j
Some of the inhabitants of the district through
which the Greenock branch of the Caledonian I
Railway now runs had their family "lair"' or ;
burying-plaee in the graveyard of a village j
river the hills nearer Ayrshire. Whether it \
was usual to give a dram liefore starting or no, !
a supply was invariably furnished to help the I
party on the road. At a funeral which took
place quite within living memory the rests had
been frenuent on the road, as had also been
the applications to the pocket-pistols, and at j
last the party deployed into the churchyard j
without the cotlin. Of course, there was great i
consternation, followed by a general retracing
of steps, and at last they discovered the object
of their search lying by the roadside at one of
the points where they had halted to rest and
refresh.? Mavmillnnh Moynzinr.
COTTON SEE!) OIL.
A writer in the Columbia ifer/jVrter communicates
the following, which is worthy the attention
of those who think cotton seed oil can be
successfully used, for culinary pur]K>ses, as a |
substitute for lard :
The recent introduction of cotton seed oil
as a substitute for lard in the preparation of
food, renders the correct answer to the query
is cotton seed oil fit for food a matter of great
importance to the public.
The cotton plant is well known to possess
important medical proiierties ; the flowers and
leaves are soothing and demulcient; the root is
an active parturient, more so than ergot or
rye, and a strong decoction of the seeds, it is
said, will arrest intermittent fever. Besides
these reputed properties, farmers all agree that
cotton seed will kill pigs and even grown hogs;
first causing them to fatten rapidly, followed
by an almost sudden death. It is said also to
act as an abortive in the case of breeding sows
and cattle. Observation shows that bogs do
not consume the seed entirely, but chew it until
t hey have extracted all the oil, and then reject
the pulp. It thus appears to be a slow
poison, with the first impressions of a salutary
nature?fattening and then killing. Is an oil
possessed of such properties safe as a food ?
Who can answer this query satisfactorily V
Can any one show conclusively that it is not
the oil which ultiiqately kills the hogs V
Cotton seed meal, after the oil has been expressed,
is much used as food for stock and
appears to be perfectly safe. As this meal contains
everything of the seed except the oil, it
must follow that the oil must possess some
medical property inconsistent with health and
may be positively dangerous.
The position that cotton seed oil must be
safer for food than lard because it is purely
a vegetable oil is most untenable. Castor oil,
jroton oil and many other active oils are pure-1
ly vegetable, but no one would willingly use i
them in the preparation of their bread.
Can it be shown that the popular belief that
jotton seed will kill hogs is not founded on
fact V That the deaths are fairly attributable
to some other cause ? Until these questions
ire fully discussed and answered it would be
well for the public to pause and consider the
piestion of the safety of cotton seed oil as a
food. ' Mkdicus.
Sensations of the Blind.?An interesting
account has been lately furnished by M.
Plateau, the eminent Belgian physicist (who
ias been blind nearly forty years), of the sensation
he experiences in his eyes. He has no
sense of objective light, even when directing i
lis eyes toward the sun. But his visual field j
s always divided into spaces, some of which
ire pretty bright and others sombre or nearly
lark, and which merge into each other. The
general tint alternates, in time, between gray
mri rn/iriish The relative arrangement of
;hese different shades is always the same,
lut the intensity of their tints varies. The
jentral space seems now right bright, now
r'ery dark; above, below and on the left, to
lie limits of the field, there is sometimes
tightness, sometimes darkness, but on the >
ight there is generally a vertical band, nearly
ilack, and beyond this a space which is nearly I
il ways bright and reddish. These appearances
ollow all the movements of the eyes, which
irobably do not participate in the same way I
n the tints, but M. Plateau cannot distinguish j
vhat belongs to one from what belongs to the I
>ther. M o connection of the general tint with |
he work of digestion is observed. The an-!
;hor states that he became blind through look- j
ng fixedly at the sun for some time, with a j
dew to observe his after sensation. It was
lot till about fourteen years after this that
nllammation of the chorid set in, destroying
'ision, but during the interval he often saw j
:olored and persistent lialos, round flames, j
:tc., and he advises those who have such
dsions to consult an experienced oculist.
German Humor.?A curious form of Gernan
humor appears in a book recently pub-j
ished at Berlin. Here is a passage: "At a
[uarter to six we went to the great post office. I
Hie squeeze was tremendous round the news>aj>er
box, where the newspapers are thrust
11 bales; and it is, indeed, on a grand scale, the i
rimes alone having 10,000,000 subscribers. I 1
varned Schultze not to go near the crush, but 1
le did not hear me. As he was standing <
here, there came a great shock of newspaper
>oya running with bales of newspapers, and
browing them in at the window. A bale of
iewspai>ers hit Schultze on the head ; he loses
lis balance, and tips head forward into the
tureau. Half a dozen officials immediately
eize him, stamp him in the stomach, and the .
inhappy Schultze is despatched in an unpaid
lewspacket to the provinces. At this moment
he box is closed with a snap. I rush against
t, and cry, ''Schultze! Schultze!" Hut it
s too late1, your unhappy son-in-law was al-i
eady packed in the post cart. I ran into the j
iiireau of the jiostinaster, and demanded back ;
our son-in-law. "Is your friend addressed V"
ie asks. "No," I answered. "Very well,"
ays the Englishman; "M. Schultze will reiiain
for six months in the bureau ; and, if no ,
ne applies for him, he will be burned as a
ead letter." t
