Every one seemed to be * more or less impressed with the marvellousness of this record except old Mr. Scaggs, a j retired farmer. *'She's fast, yes," he said. "But I oncet , owned a mare up on the farm as could beat her. That mare was lightnin' on legs. Polly ^ was her name?named her after Mrs. Scaggs's mother, an' a finer woman you never met. She could bake all around any other woman 1 in the county, an' when it came to me bein' sick, she'd nurse me tenderlier than as if I 3 wasn't a son-in-law at all, but her own boy. My, how she could trot!" 1 "Your mother-in-law ?" asked one of the < circle. "No; the hoss," snapped Scaggs, with fire < in his eye. "I'm talking about that hoss. I , bought her when she was eight years old from old Mrs. Tompkins. She wasn't much on , looks, Mrs. Tompkins wasn't, but she was ] hnoinooa all ihronirh. When her husband died she took charge of the grocery, and added a millinery department to it, 'nd by J Joe! inside of a year she was able to close up the grocery, 'nd do nothing but make . hats. Tompkins used to hitch her up to the delivery wagon, you know, but of course?" "You don't mean to say that any man was ever mean enough to hitch his wife up to a 1 grocery wagon, and make her haul the pack- ' ages about town ?" queried the inqusitive " member of the party. 1 "Ain't said nothing o' the kind," retorted i Scaggs, "Don't you get too funny. I'm talkin' about the hoss. I was going on to tell ye j how when old Mrs. Tompkins got to makin' i two-dollar hats for the women folks 'nd sellin' ' 'em to 'em for ten, she gave up the grocery t business, 'nd so didn't have any use for the , hoss old Tompkins used for drivin' his delivery wagon. It happened I wanted a hoss , 'bout that time, 'nd so I called on old Mrs. 1 Tompkins (to talk it over. She was only eight years old at the time, and had'nt much style about her, though she was calculated ' to be faster'n anything else in town. I ast old Mrs Tompkins what she'd take, 'nd she says twenty-four dollars." j "'That's pretty high for an eight-year-old, says I. 'I'll give you a dollar 'nd half a 1 year for the hoss. That's twelve dollars.' " 'Make it two, and she's yours,' says old ; Mrs. Tompkins. ) " 'Throw in a hat for my wife,' says I, "nd j it goes.' "Done.' R?,vs she. i "So I bridled her, paid the money, 'nd ^ led her home. Few days later some o' the , boys, knowin' as I had sportin' blood, came an' ast me to let Polly trot on a mile track for j the record. My wife didn't want me to at j first, because she was a little off her feed, j 'nd didn't approve of racin' anyhow, but. when the boys offered a purse of ten dollars if she could beat 2.10, she let up. So I said all right, 'nd we set the. date." ( "Well what was the result?" asked the ] inquisitive youth. "Two four for the mile," said Scaggs. * "Two four?" cried the whole circle at I once. ] "Yep," said Scaggs. "But it was the track as helped her. There was somethin' in the < track as had ought to be given some o' the ] credit, for the old mare couldn't beat more'n ; four minutes at the county fair grounds.' "What was the special quality of the track, , Scaggs?" asked one of the party. "Wall," said Scaggs, slowly, "as far as I 1 could make out, a mile on our track warn't more'n half a mile on any other." Not Available as an Interpreter.? 1 The late General Donaldson, a veteran of the Seminole war, the Mexican war, and the late war used to relate the following anecdote of 1 General Zachary Taylor. During hostilities 1 with Mexico, General Taylor was upon a cer- 1 tain occasion, present at an advanced outpost. While there a Texan scout in the em ploy of our government, speaking Spanish only, evidently a bearer of very important , tidings, rode headlong into the outpost, and leaping to the ground, rushed to the general, whose uniform showed him to be an officer ( of high rank, and began in the most excited manner to pour forth a torrent of Spanish. The general, whose linguistic attainments ended with a knowledge of his mothertongue, was completely taken aback, and so T?l?inlv iliri his fae? exnress his feelinesthata kind of pie Bobby?" "It's a new kind. Ma was talking this morning about pa bringing you to dinner so often, and pa said he didn't care what she thought, and ma said she would make him eat humble pie before the day was over, an' I suppose we're goin' to have it for dinner." flST" A man with a painful expression of countenance sat on a dry goods box. "Are " you ill ?" some one asked. "No." "Have you lost anything ?" "Never had anything to lose." "What's the matter, then?" "I'm setting on a wasp." "Why don't you get up ?" "That was my first impulse, but I got to thinking that I was hurting the wasp as badly as he was hurting me, and I concluded to sit here awhile. A visitor to Lancaster asylum a short time since encountered one of the lunatics (who doubtless had been told off for work of some description) pushing a wheftlbarrow j along one of the walks wrong side up. The ( visitor inquired why he reversed the order of i things in that fashion. "Why, you stupid, ( do you think I'm mad ?" was the lunatic's j reply. "If I turned the right side up, they'd i be putting something into it." j sentry on duty near by burst into a fit of laughter. Noticing this, with a frown the general called to the seutry: "Fellow, come here!" Trembling for the | consequences probably attendant upon his want of respect the soldier obeyed. "Fellow," asked the general, "do you know any one around here who speaks Spanish ?" "Yes," replied the abashed soldier designating the Texan; "that man does." I'll Pay foe the Shingles.?The following is literally true, although occuring fifty years ago, in the land of circuit riders and protracted meetings, it may at this day seem quite incredible. A tempestuous meeting was in progress; scene, a great log church on the frontier; grotesque excitement prevailed; singing, exhorting, praying were heard at the same moment, couched in vehement language. In one group were three neighbors engaged in prayer. Anton Pardee, basing his petition on a Scripture incident, and striving to be meek and humble, was saying : "Like the woman of Canaan, we will not presume to ask too much?only the crumbs that fall from the Master's table of which even the dogs are allowed to eat." But Mr. Rhodes?William Rhodes in church, but Bill Rhodes in a horse trade?was less moderate in his demands. In a voice like a stentor he exclaimed : "No? Lord. The crumbs will not do. Send us down a loaf; a whole loaf, a hot loaf, right out of the oven!"

Old Professor Gassaway is generally selected as the target. About 3 o'clock in the morning one night he was disturbed by the ringing of his door bell. Hastily enveloping his figure in a dressing gown he threw open the window, and sticking his head out asked what was the cause of the disturbance. "The burglars are bad and we only wanted to tell you that one of your windows are open." "Which one?" he asked anxiously. "The one you've got your head out." tiST A citizen popped out into his garden at a very early hour, and, turning a corner discovered Patrick in the act of digging up a lot of vegetables. Patrick, seeing the game was up, advanced towards the proprietor and said, "The top of the morning to your honor! And what brought your honor out so early this morning?" "Indeed, Patrick, ' I just strolled out to see if I could find an appetite for my breakfast." Then, eyeing Patrick with some suspicion, he queried, "And now, Patrick, pray tell me what brings you out so early in the morning?" "Indade, your honor, I just strolled out to see if I could find a breakfast for my appetite." fST "We are going to have pie for dinner," said Bobby to the minister.

There is a species of improvidence and ihiftlessness among many of our farmers ,vhich enable them to regard their failure ,o succeed as a visitation of Divine Proviience, and it is not rare to find also that 'eeling which actuated the man who, on >eing asked by the traveler why he did not ;over up the leaks in his roof, answered that vhen it rained he couldn't go out and cover t, and when it wasn't raining it didn't need o be covered. There is no excuse for this way of doing. [t is well enough to say that nature knows ??~ "K/Mif +V10 wnv t.hinors should he done liUlV ?WVUW v.iv ?? v?~0 han man, but it is given to man to furnish he motive power, and without it nature's vork will be abortive. In the various parts of the South there is and suitable for all kinds of crops. In nany places it is virgin soil, in others well jultivated and rich land, and in still others and which has been exhausted. All of his can be worked over and brought into >earing condition by proper management, md particularly the exhausted land, which s cheap and only needs the addition of fertilzer and then a rotation of crops to make it satisfactory. The climate, soil and other :onditions are with the farmer, and it is only equired that he shall display an equivalent imount of energy. That the farmer knows low a thing should be done is not enough? le must doit. No business enterprise could ie run successfully with the lax and careless nethods prevailing on most farms. Success n an enterprise, be it mining, manufacturng, commercial or farming, is largely due to ;he prime factor of personal energy on the iart of the man in charge. It might be said hat this is the only element required to nsure success. Certainly without it failure s almost certain. The average farmer has no idea of what iny of the details of his work are costing, [f he plants three different kind of crops, ind at the end of the year makes more than lis expenditures, he cannot tell which crop yielded the most or which fell behind. A ough approximation can of course be made, iut that counts for little as a method of doing lusiness. Not one farmer in a hundred ever (tops to figure the amount it costs to keep dock. The total cost of feed, attention and lepreciation, as compared with the amount eceived from them in work, milk or manire, would show many leakages where the lollars are going out faster than the pennies some in. With this knowledge as a foundaiou for costs, it could be ascertained how nuch each little item of work cost, and consequently what was most remunerative and jest suited to the location. It is the little details of cost which make lusiness a success or a failure. There are 1 ~ A"!? ^in n marnatifiln 11 ways cerilllll I1ACU ULiaigra ill a uiwvuuuiv >r manufacturing business which cannot be reduced, aud the item of profit rests solely lpon the care displayed in reducing and ceeping down the cost of labor and the many ittle details of work. This is much more -he case with the farmer, as the greater part )f his work is in the details, and it is just these items that he most disregards. There are some farmers?and it goes with>ut saying that they are successful?who lave an account which shows tho itemized :ost of each head of stock and of every :rop which has ever been raised on their place. These men have viewed farming as ;hey would a mercantile business, and by jiving it the same attention have reduced the chances of failure to a minimum and wrought those of success to a maximum. They are men who are looked upon with tvonder by their neighbors and thought to possess some occult gift or to have means of irranging with the elements to do their way. The reason for their success is purely in the jlose attention given to their work and in utilizing every spare moment in bettering some part of their property aud increasing ts value. Farmers have one element of uncertainty to contend with in the weather, and while this cannot be avoided, the injury resulting from it can, at least be reduced to a minimum by careful attention. The haphazard system in farm work is Jegrading to both the worker and the calling. This should not be so, for there is no kind of work upon which the world depends so much as that of the farmer. He stands between nature and mankind. As Emerson "TKo rrlnrv nf t.ViA fiirmpr is that, in the , livision of labors, it is his part to create." The life of a farmer is unceasing work, but this is as true in every business, and in no line of work can a man be so sure of his iaily food as is a farmer, and no other kind of work is run in such a careless and improvident manner.?Manufacturer's Record. RENOVATING OLD TREES. It is often the case that trees are neglected so much that they become unthrifty and unprofitable, if they do not cease entirely to bear fruit. With a very old tree very little in the way of renovating can be done with inything like permanent benefit. But with young trees that have simply beeu neglected i very decided benefit can be secured. Of course, if this is done it is necessary to do thorough work. Generally the longer a tree has been neglected the longer time will be required to restore it. One of the first things to do is to prune thoroughly, cutting out all diseased or dead wood at least, and as much of the other growth as may seem necessary. No set rules can be given, as to the extent of pruning that 3hould be given, as the soil in which the tree is growing, as well as the growth or thrift cf the tree, must be considered. The pruning should be done reasonably early in the winter, at least before the wood freezes hard. The wood should all be gathered up and burned, as in this way disease germs and injurious insects may be destroyed. The ground should be thoroughly plowed, taking care to plow shallow near the trees so as not to injure the roots. It is often the case that one of the principal reasons, if not the sole cause, of the trees failing to make a thrifty growth and bear good crops of fruit is a lack of available plant food. The trees are starving and, of course, cannot grow or yield fruit. The best plan of manuring is to apply broadcast after plowing and then work it into the soil with a harrow or cultivator. Almost any kind of manure can be used with benefit, but the advantage in using well-rotted manure is that the effect will be realized sooner, as it is in a more available condition, or at least a good portion of it. With trees, as other plants, the fertilizer, to be available, must be soluble, and a larger proportion of well-rotted manure is in this condition better than if applied fresh. The principal advantage in using salt is that it helps to make plant food that is in the soil available. It contains little fertilizing value in itself. Wood ashes can nearly always be applied with benefit when it can be had. With a little care in this way an orchard that has been neglected or starved down may be renovated and made profitable if the trees arc not too old. With an old orchard in which the trunks of the trees arc more or less decayed the better plan is to cut it down and make a new start. How to Make Cows Give Milk.?A writer in one of our agricultural exchanges, says that his one cow gives all the milk that is wanted in a family of eight, and that from it, after taking all required for other purposes, 2(50 pounds of butter was made this year. This is, in part, his treatment of the cow: "If you desire to get a large yield of rich milk, give your cow every day, water slightly warm and slightly salted, in which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find, if you have not tried this daily practice that your cow will give twenty-five per cent, more milk immediately, under the effects of it, and she will become so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless very thirstv: but this mess she will drink almost any time and ask for more. The amount of this drink necessary is an ordinary water pail full at a time, morning, noon and night.

It was a gentleman like Mr. Jim of whom I heard this facinating story, and which for grim humor cannot be surpassed, says the St. Louis Republic. Nor can Mr. Jim, for so I shall have to call him, be blamed for avenging himself for the trick that was played on his taste and gastronomic judgment. j One of the bright spots on the Colorado ? desert is Los Pal mas. It is a few miles to F the north of Salton and on the old Arizona t stage road. It is truly an enchanting place, r for here a spring bubbles up and its waters ? spreading have caused rich dank grass to 8 grow, and palm trees of gigantic height v spread out their beautiful fan-shaped leaves, f Close to the marsh was a stage house, where rest and food were sold for both man and beast. The remains of the adobe could have 0 been seen a year ago, but I am told the c rains of last winter entirely swept away the i: vestiges of this memento of prc-railroad C rlflvs. ' J Mine host of the time I write was a wag. n though his humor was not of the quality Jj which endeared him to men. The fare he h furnished was even ruder than his wit, but i what he lacked in richness of mentality he t< made up in his charges, which compared fav- [ orably with the terrific demands of the mod- r, em railway eating house. It was a much ? traveled road and custom was brisk, for only t by this route was Arizona accessible, and, as J many mines were being worked in the ter- li ritory, the wag was never idle. One day, so the story goes, Jim stopped at the stagehouse for dinner, and his eyes were gladdened and so was his appetite by the sight and and taste of fresh meat. Jim l ate heartily and praised the flesh with the | air of a connoisseur. He asked for several r relays of tender cut, and with many an oath 1 declared that never had he tasted such deli- t cate beef. The host, too, was pleased, aud J charged him exorbitantly for the feast. n On the way to the river Jim repeatedly < referred to the gorgeous meal, and wound i up his remark with many an encomium on 1 the liberality of the stagehouse proprietor. << There was, however, one in the outfit who did not share Jim's admiring views, and ? finally remarked: 1 "D'ye know what you eat back thar?" t throwing his thumb over his shoulder aud indicating the position of Los Palmas. "Beef," was the laconic rejoinder. * " 'Ta'nt nuthin' of the kind. That was C an old mule what dropped dead, an' he scd ' yer could eat it and think it was beef." | A laugh went up at Jim's expense. "Are ye tellin' straight goods?" inquired Jim, anxiously. He was assured on that point. Jim left the eampfire, resaddlcd his burro J and rode straight for Los l'nlmas. The proprietor was at the (loor. , "Did yer give me mule meat this after- j noon to eat? Tell the truth now." c The host faltered out that he was short 1 of provisions and had been compelled to j, dress up the defunct mule, hut he was very | sorry, etc. He fell dead in the doorway with two J bullets in his body. Jim rejoined the company and incidentally l remarked that he guessed there would be \ no more mule meat sold for beef at Los < Pal mas. About the Word "Roorback."?You J have often heard and used the word "roor- t back," especially at just about the eve of a { political election, when any and all kinds of r "roorbacks" may be looked for, but it is ten ? chances to one if you "stopped in your mad 1 rush," etc., as Nye would say, to figure on { the origin of the term. My political dictionaries, each of which have a preface informing s the lucky or luckless owner that "the origin 1 of every known political phase" may be \ "found upon the inside," are sadly lacking at the place where "roor" should come in. J However, in a little unpretentious scrap- ^ book I find the following: J "The word 'roorback' originated away t j back in 1814, when a lot of soulless political {, schemers in Baltimore published a fictitious t story, said to be an extract from the works \ of one Baron Roorback. The object, of t course, was to gain some political point, the 1 extract from the Baron's book giving many good reasons why just that particular point ( should be gained at any cost. The proba- , bilities are that there never was such a per- i son as 'Baron Roorback,' but the incident J related has made his name a synonym for 'J any gigantic electioneering lie." 1 War When Abraham Lincoln wsis elected president of the United States in 18(50 he re- ( ceived 1,8(5.1,918 votes in the thirty-two 1 States which then constituted the Union.

All that has been said of the wonderful cures effected by the use of AVER'S Sarsaparilla during the past 50 years, truthfully applies to-day. It is, in every sense, "The Superior Medicine. Its curative properties, strength, effect, and flavor are always the same; and for whatever blood diseases AVER'S Sarsaparilla is taken, they yield to this treatment. When you ask for AyER'S Sarsaparilla don't be induced to purchase any of the worthless substitutes, which are mostly mixtures of the cheapest ingredients, contain no sarsaparilla, have no uniform standard of appearance, flavor, or effect, are bloodpurifiers in name only, and are offered to you because there is more profit in selling them.

A GREAT deal has been said about the Corbin ljl Disk Harrow during the past three years in he columns of The Enquirer. If it was anyhing else than what is claimed for it, the peoile would long ago have branded it as a fraud, >ut instead of being denounced it is endorsed and ecommended as the greatest money saver and rop increascr ever introduced in this section by very farmer who has tested it, and there are cores of them. The following testimonials from veil known farmers should, we think, be suficient to convince even those who do not want o be convinced. Read and then act: chester, s. c, March 27,1890. Sam M. Grist, Yorkvllle, 8. c.: Dear Sir: I have wned a Corbin Disk Harrow for several years,and onsider It the most useful and economical farming mplcment of which I have any knowledge. Mr. torbln has done more for the farmer than all the olitlcians, reformers, etc., combined. He has done omethlng practical. No farmer can fall to be beneItted by the use of the Harrow, and the more it Is ised the greater the benefit or profit. It Is almost the mly so-called improved farming implement that I lave ever seen that would do all its manufacturers laimed for it, and the only one that would do more. Svery farmer should have one and a man who Is able o buy fertilizers for his land is more able to buy a Sorbin Disk Harrow. The time will come when the 'orbln Disk Harrow will bo considered as much of a lecessitv on the farm as the wagon, sewing machine, ooklngstove, and I might say. the plow; and the ooner it comes the better for the farmer. It only akes a farmer, who has been accustomed to the old ray of doing tilings, nuout one nour 10 reuuzc nuw nuch time and labor he lias literally wasted before ie used the Corbln Harrow. In conclusion, let me ay that I would not pretend to farm without it. Respectfully, \V. Holmes Hardin. Hickory Grove, 8. C., March 23, 1801. Mr. Sam M. Grist, Yorkvllle, 8. C. : Dear Sir?I (ought a No. 7 Corbln Disk Harrow from you In Ocober, 1889. I was delighted with It the tlrst time I rled It. I now consider It an Indispensable lmplenent on the farm. No farmer who looks after his own nterest can afford to be without It. To give an idea if its value at this time, when every farmer Is so far tehlnd with his work, I will say thnt I can take my Inrrow, with one hand and four mules, and nut 300 o 400 pounds weight on tho Harrow, and break eight icresof corn-stalk, cotton-stalk or stubble land In one lay, and prepare it deeper and better In every way han can be done with eight mules and eight hands n the ordinary way. (I have a weight box on my inrrow. It is the length of the beam, and is 9 Inches vide at the bottom, 11 at the top, and about 10 inches leep. It is fastened on to the beam with bolts.] Last spring I plowed up my cotton stalks, and with he Disk Harrow and two mules, cut up the stalks ind pulverized my land to the depth of five Inches at he same operation, and at the rate ofan acre an hour. Wheat and oats can be put in with it much better han in the ordinary way. One hand and two mules s all that is necessary to put in eight to ten acres a lay. The best prepared land I have ever had was a niece if weed stubble turned in the fall and cut up with the 'orbln Harrow in the spring. In conclusion, let me say thnt the Harrow thoroughy breaks and pulverizes 1 lie land ami leaves It in a xirous condition. Ijind that has been pulverized vith a Corbln Harrow will not bake. Respectfully, W. S. Wii.ker.son. iiOWKYSViLi.E, S. February 1J, iw?. Mr. Ham M. Ukist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Hir?You equest me to give my opinion of the worth of the ,'orbin Disk Harrow as a farm implement, after a ong experience In using one on my farm. In reply, I vould say that I place a very high estimate on the larrow. It docs its work so thoroughly, and so rapdly, thatl think it Justly entitled to he classed as one if the greatest labor saving Implements used in form lusbondry. I use iuy C'orbln Disk Harrow to put In my small train crop very successfully. The Harrow pulverizes he soil so thoroughly (leaving no clods behind it) hatl invariably secure a good stand of small grain, ind leaves the land smooth and in a condition to inrvest the crop with machinery, without further ahor or trouble. The Harrow is a grand Implement to use with a mirof mules, but it is a far more efficient one with bur mules attached. Iliad used my Corbin Harrow rat a short time with a pair of mules until I wasthoringhly satisfied that I was not utilizing its full capacty, or In other words that it was capable of doing a treat deal more work in a day if I would weight it lown, add horse power and give it speed. Since then have used four good, strong mules to my Corbin larrow. and have more than realized my expectaions. The draught was so much lighter for the four nules, notwithstanding the Increased weight, that hey could travel at greater speed and the harrow iccomplish greater results. The area of land I can tarrow In a day with four mules depends on its cliaricter. On my level, sandy lands, when I can secure ong, straight furrows, I can, with an experienced irlver, harrow an acre of land every hour, or usually en acres a day. I find my Corbin Harrow very useful in breaking tubble land thoroughly and speedily. It is invaluable to pulverize cloddy bottom lands. The disks cut the clods and pulverize and smooths the and more effectually than any implement I have ivcr used for that purpose. In a dry fall I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow inllspensiblc in putting in my crop of winter outsat the iroper time. [I think the last of August or the first veck in September the proper time to sow). If It Is Iry weather and the land hard, I can, by weighting lown my harrow, and going over the land two or hree times, secure a well pulverized seed bed for my >ats?when I could not jsisslbly plough up clods nough to cover the seed?and when the rains come, he oats spring up, grow and take good root before lie cold weather, and are prepared to withstand the vinter freezes when later sown oats, not so well rootd. are often spewed up by the frost, the stand badly njurcd, and the winter crop of oafs a failure. Yours Truly, It. S. Hope. The time for sowing fall oats is at hand, mil it will soon lie time to prepare the land for .vheat. If you want to have your crops put in md as they should lie, and thereby insure larger rops than would otherwise lie produced, you ihould have a Corbin Disk Harrow.
