Humorous department. Freaks of the Country Girl.?"What do you think I did this morning?"' one summer girl asked another in a cable car, on their way home from a summer shopping jaunt. "Goodness knows!" ejaculated the other. "You are always doing the unexpected." "Well," continued the first girl, "I had two things on my mind that I dared not forget?a book I wanted very much, and the purchase of a silk waist. So what did I do but walk into a bookstore, go up to the first man clerk that I saw, and ask, "Do you IrnAiv munit cillr if. tiil'PQ t.A TimlrA fl IVUV1T UVII 4UUVi? ?J*irv IV IMII.VW VV ? shirt waist ?" "Oh!" gasped the other girl. "What did he say ?" "That's the funny part of it. He surveyed me with utmost seriousness, and answered, promptly,'If you want big sleeves it will take five yards; that is, unless the silk is wide.' "Of course I was completely stunned, for it had dawned on me what I was doing; but I made a great effort and said, gratefully, 'Thank you very much?very much. Now will you please show me Mrs. Blank's last novel?' Then I bought the book, and retired in good order. There would have been no sense in exposing my feeble-mindedness to that clerk ; but I'd give a good deal to know how he keeps so well posted on dry goods." Hp: Got the Pass-Wori>.?There were a number of Alliancemen in town last Monday week, and one who remained over that night, seeing a light in the Knights of Pythias hall in the Masonic Temple, concluded he would attend the meeting of the local sub-Alliance, which he imagined to be in session there. He went up to the door and rapped. The wicket was opened and a gruff voice asked: "Who's there?" "I plow, I spade, I hoe," replied the Alliance brother. "The h?1 you say!" said the voice within, and the wicket was slammed in the Allianceman's face. After waiting a time without being admitted, the Allianceman came down hunted up a brother of the order, and told him that he had been up to the Alliance, given the password and failed to gain admittance. This brother said to him: "Don't you knowathat is the Knights of Pythias hall?" "You have given away the Alliance password !" "I don't care," said the Allianceman, "I got his." "What did he say to you ?" was asked. " 'The h?1 you say!'" said the Allianceman. "And that is their password."?Sumter Watchman and Southron. the ketort t eminine.?"Money is llKe woman in one respect," said Mr. Darley to his wife. "That's so," replied she. "It's u good thing to have about the house." "That wasn't the resemblance I had in mind," Mr. Darley went on. "I suppose not." "No ; money is like woman because money talks." "Well, money has some well known masculine characteristics, loo," retorted Mrs. Darley. "It gets tight. More than that, it requires the same remedy as its human ex-w emplar in that case." "And what is that?" "The gold cure." A Great Secret Out.?Pretty girl?An old woman told me to-day that I ought to get some love powder, and she said she guessed you kept it. Druggist?You can make it yourself by mixing half a teaspoonl'ul of sugar with a minute quantity of powdered starch. "Yes, and how will I give it to him ?" "You must invite him to a supper which you prepare, and slip it into his coffee." "And will it make him want to marry me?" "It will if the coffee is good, and everything else well cooked." Nothing Like Latin.?Andrew Jackson was once making a stump speech out West, in a small village. Just as he was concluding, Amos Kendall, who sat behind him, whispered: "Tip 'em a little Latin, general. They won't be satisfied without it." The man of iron will, instantly thought of a few phrases he knew, and in a voice of thunder wound up his speech by exclaiming: "E pluribus unum !?sine qua non !?ne _i 11 ? i ii . in pius uura;?muiium in parvo : The effect was temendous, and the shouts could be heard for miles. The Special Use of Flies.?"Yes, Bobby," said the minister, who was dining with the family, "everything in this world has its use, although we may not know what it is. Now, there is the fly, for instance. You wouldn't think that flies were good for anything, yet"? "Oh, yes, I would," interrupted Bobby. "I know what flies are good for." "What, Bobby ?" "Pa says that they are the only thing that keeps him awake when you are preaching." ?St. Louis Republic. B&T One evening Patti, having taken a slight cold, found herself hoarse, and request- \ ed Brignoli to apologize. The curtain rose, and Brignoli said that Madame Patti requested him to say that she very much regretted it, but that she was a "little horse." The audience began to laugh, and when the astonished Brignoli repeated the statement that the Madame Patti was a "little horse," the theatre rang with the hand-clapping and 1 laughter. Poor Brignoli stood speechless, 1 until some one in the audience called out: 1 "Well, if she's a 'little horse,' trot her out." i tST The great Welsh preacher, Christmas 1 Evans, was one summer morning walking over a mountain in Pembrokeshire to a distant village, where he was expected to , preach. On the wav he met Mr. Herring, a celebrated revivalist. "Good-morning, Mr.', Evans, exclaimed Herring; "but who would ; have thought of seeing Christmas in the middle of summer?" Christmas, was, however, equal to the occasion, and quietly re-1 torted : "Good-morning, sir ; but who would have thought of meeting a Herring on the' top of a mountain." fl?" A candid and well-meaning professor,1 who had witnessed the performance of a lit- j tie play in a private house, in which his host-1 ess had taken the leading part, met the lady \ as she came from behind the curtain. "Mad-1 am," he said, rushing up to her, "you played | excellently; the part fits you to perfection." ! "Oh, no, professor," said the lady, modestly ; I "a young and pretty woman is needed for | that part." "But, madam," persisted the j professor, "you have positively proved the | contrary!" S6T" It was a Chicago lawyer who, in his capacity as justice of the peace, was called | upon to marry a couple in haste. Absent- j mindedly he began with the groom : "You do solemnly sweat that you will faithfully perform all the duties devolving upon you as husband of this woman, during your term of office, and until your successor shall be cho- j sen and qualified in your stead." Then he remembered himself and began again after! the manner appropriate to the occasion. Not so Remarkable.?"How did this happen?" asked the surgeon, as he dressed the wound in the cheek and applied a sooth- j: ing poultice to the damaged eye.

"It's the first time I ever knew i a woman to liit anything she aimed at," j muttered the surgeon. "She was throwing ! at the neighbor's hens," explained the suffer- j < er. "I was behind her."?'Chicago Times, j I?" "Nothing," said an impatient lius-h hand, "reminds me so much of Balaam and his ass as two women stopping in church and ; obstructing the way to indulge in their everlasting talk." "But you forget, my dear," : returned the wife, meekly, "that it was the j; angel who stopped the way, and Balaam and his ass who complained of it." gST" A little school girl asked her teacher what was meant by "Mrs. Grundy." The teacher replied that it meant "the world." ' Some days afterward the teacher asked the i geography class, to which this little hud of 1 promise belonged, "What isazom ?" After < some hesitation, the girl brightened up, and i replied, "I know. It's a belt around Mrs. 1 Grundy's waist." Wayside $atltmni)5. fST*Bad people never enjoy good company.

I (Original.) j SOMKTIHNU Til THINK AIMHT. Seventy millions of acres of corn are grown yearly in the United States, mostly for the grain. Feeding experiments, conducted by the Maryland Experiment station, show what has already been recognized as true by many of our most progressive farmers, that all parts of the corn plant contain valuable food material. The corn stalks and shucks eontain (10 per cent, of the total digestible matter produced by the plant, the blades 11 per cent., and the ears 20 per cent. lly using siloes, or even by cutting or ! crushing the corn stalks, cattle will cat and utilize nearly all of them. Can we afford to leave half of the value of our corn erops in the field to rot, when, if properly handled and fed, it would enable us to keep more stock and make more manure? Cotton seed meal and cut corn stalks make a perfect ration, not only for dry cattle, but for milk i cows and for the production of growth in i young stock. [Original.] ! TIIK CROPS OF TI1K YEAR. The September report of the United States 1 Department of Agriculture, makes the aver- J age condition of cotton on September 1st, as , only 73, on the basis of 100 as a full crop. | This is the lowest condition since 1881, when ] it stood at 70 on September 1st. In 1SS1 the i crop was 6,000,000 bales, on 17,000,000 acres. September condition last year was 77, and the yield stated at 6,700,000 bales, , an 18,362,000 acres. The condition in Sep- ] tember, 1891, was 83, and the crop exceeded i ),000,000 bales; but the acreage was 1,000,- t 300 acres greater than the present season. ' Phis would seem to indicate a crop of about J F,000,000, unless there is an improvement c )f condition, when it may reach 7,500,000 >ales. i The condition, when harvested, of the 1 ivheat crop, taking into account both winter f uul spring varieties, was 74, against 85 last * ]rear. The general average is the lowest since 1885, when it was 72. The crop that t 'ear was 357,000,000 bushels, on an acreage t estimated at about the same as this year. The smallest crop of corn in years is indi- * licated by the September report of the stat- ^ stician of the Department of Agriculture, j lie condition being reported at 7G.7, the \ owest for ten years, except in 1890, 1887 1 ind 1880. The estimate of the total corn :rop of the United States is placed at fifteen { nmdred million bushels. [Original.] C WANT OF CARE ON THE FARM. j In every address and in every article upon I lie subject of how to make farming pay, the f vhole stress is laid upon the necessity of 2 laving knowledge. Knowledge of how 1 dnnts grow, of their composition, the necessary plant food, and the elements in the iroper proportion to each other to produce g lie greatest and most profitable yield, of the r >est modes of cultivation for each particular c riant; in fact, a knowledge of the whole s omprehensive science of agriculture. While this knowledge is absolutely neces- t sary to the highest and best success in farmng, yet with all this there will be failure, r mless the farmer who possesses this knowl;dge has the trait of carefulness in every- s hing he does. If your plans arc ever so ' veil laid, with all the help knowledge may t five you, unless every detail is carried out c villi watchful care, your profits will go and 1 our plans will come to grief. 2 The science of farming?for when rightly mrsued it is a science?requires great care n directing and utilizing me great and snent ^ orces of nature, which arc working silently j nul unceasingly for him every (lay in the i ear, either in the growing plants or in the ;rowing animals 011 his farm. It is true, that r 0 guide and procure profitable results from v liese forces of nature requires knowledge, j et it also requires constant and watchful 1 arc to see that both plants and animals get,! 1 it all times, the necessary material and in u iroper quantities, and in suitable condition, 1 0 produce the best results. Any want of * are, for a single day, perhaps, at a certain j imo, may destroy your profits and render U inprofitable a whole season's work. ! c No business is so exacting upon our care | v .nd attention as is farming, yet when intelli- [ [ontly pursued and with that thoughtful | are so vital to success, there is 110 calling so ? afe, so free from cares, heartaches and disippointments, and so favorable to the (level- 1 ipment of the best traits of manhood and 1 comnnhood. v TKKKAC1NU AT THE SMITH. 1 The violence of Southern rain storms and lie great damage done to hilly land from i rushing, has, from the beginning, rendered inperative, precautions to prevent, or, at ^ east, lessen the evil. Hillside ditching has * [cnerally been the only preventive, but this ins many drawbacks. This occupies much : and and becomes a refuge for briers, bushes c .nd all sorts of weeds, which hinder the plow \ aid draw moisture and nourishment from r he crops. Then, unless the ditches were t losely looked after, they are liable to be- h loiius sand-tilled, and the water, after col- v acting in large volumes, breaks over and ! n onvcrts the land below into gullies. fi To prevent washing, a system of terracing las, with all our best farmers, taken the t dace of ditching. The plan is simple, and v vhen done with a little judgment, is highly a H'ective. The only implement necessary is iti A-shaped frame to lay off the terraces, a iight threc-lburths by two-inch strips are icst, but poles will do. The rule is to give s t fourteen feet stride. When completed, s tand the frame on a level lloor or a plank <? eveled with a spirit-level. Drive a small nail n the apex. To this nail, suspend by means ? if a cord, any fragment of iron convctient to tie to, and say one pound in weight, d iVhen the oscillation ceases and the cord a lecomes stationary, raise one end of the rame post one and one-half inches, and f( nark on the cross piece exactly where the ii levation throws the string. That will give | ii l fall to the terrace of one and one-half; s aches in fourteen feet, which experience has liown to be right. Lay off with this frame a series of terraces lirough the field. (Jo wherever the one and t ine-balf fall carries you, until a ditch is ji cached, or something to carry the water oil' f; recly, putting up small stakes to mark the p oursc, three feet below or above the level of bis terrace. One may have to go ten yards a ir a hundred in distance, according to the ulliness of land. Lay off others, still fol- n owing the one and one-half inch fall, until he field is terraced. To throw up the tcraees, use a two-horse plow, and beginning it the line of stakes, plow as heavy a bed to h hem as practicable, by throwing the soil to v hem on each side, ami extending half way i h o the line of stakes on each side. In a n 1-01-1I flu. lino of ulnlrotf will lio rin t lio orn?l I tl if 11 bed whose wutcr-furrows will be half! cay to tlio line of slakes above anil below.! Phis bed is the terrace. Along each line of e takes, this plan must be followed. If no j n wo-horse plow is to be had, a one-horse plow (| nay be made to answer by throwing up the ; tl icd twice. Mvery spring, when the land is i.si iroken, it should he done by a re-throwing j ip of the beds or terraces. In making the h rop rows, go right on over the terraces just ] j\ s if they did not exist. Of course, do not si un rows up and down hill. Rather let them b pproach the water furrow of terraces as f early level as possible. The water passes ft If slowly along these depressions, or water arrows between the terraces, by flowing " vor the crop rows. The result is that the \\ rater runs oil' so gradually that no harm is h one, while not a foot of land is lost from ultivation.?American Agriculturist.

A great railroad depot may not be the best j school for a boy, yet poor little Joe Hryan had scarcely known any other. He could ! i not remember when the long waiting-rooms, |1 with their tiled lloors and dreary rows of;, stationary settees and crowds of hurrying I' people, were not quite as familiar to him and |1 more homelike than his mother's small, hare j' house, which lie knew as little more than a \1 place for eating and sleeping. At an age when any ordinary baby might ( have been frightened into convulsions by the shriek of a locomotive, Joe, securely fastened ' in his cab, would stare for hours through the great window undisturbed by the incessant 1 roar of arriving and departing trains. He had been only six months old when J the dreadful accident happened which at one fell stroke made him fatherless and trans- 1 formed him from a strong, well developed 1 infant to a pitiful creature, which even ' death refused to take. f The old yardmen tell the story even yet? ' how young Michael Bryan, as straight and ^ manly a fellow as ever left his green, old, ( native island for the better chances of the ' new world this side of the sea, came whist- ' ling out of the roundhouse that morning and 1 stepped hastily from before an incoming locomotive, neither seeing nor hearing an- 1 other rushing up tire parallel track. His 1 mates cried out to him?too late ! Nobody I who saw it would ever forget the look of agony which distorted his handsome face in that one horrible instant, when he recognized liis doom, or the perpendicular leap into the iir, from which he fell beneath the crunchwheels. In the excitement and consternation of the time no messenger had been sent in advance to prepare the poor young wife for tier trouble, and she stood in the doorway with her baby crowing in her arms, when the stout bearers paused at her gate with their mangled burden. She uttered a ter" 1 * " 1 ? iLv i 1 ooie cry aim leu iainting?me uiiuu s lenucr jack striking the sharp edge of the door stone. "What a pity that it was not killed outfight," said everybody hut the mother. She lerself always insisted that only her constant watching over the little dickering life cept her from going mad in the first dreadful nonths of her bereavement. When Joe was seven years old his mother sent him to school. He went patiently day ifter day, making no complaint, but she iwoke suddenly one night to find him sob)ing on the pillow beside her. Only by dint >f long coaxing was she able to find out the :ausc of his grief. Some of the rougher ( joys?more thoughtless than cruel, let us < lope?had called him Humpy, and asked if le carried a bag of meal on his back. Mary flamed with the fierce anger of moth:rhood. -i "You shan't go another day !" she dedared. "The ruffians! I won't have my larlin' put upon by the likes of them !" f So Joe's schooling had come to an untimcy end. Yet, meager as was his stock of . jook learning, the development of his mind 1 ar outstripped the growth of his stunted t tnd deformed body. Everybody liked the t laticnt little fellow, tugging manfully at his ^ nother's heavy water buckets and running villingly to every call of the station men. v \.t twelve years old lie had picked up no I mall amount of information, especially on a ailroad topics. He knew every locomotive j. m the road, understood the intricacies of the ide-tracks and switches, and could tell the n jreeise moment when any particular train s night be expected with the accuracy of a ime-table. I Yet the very quickness and ardor of his j mture deepened his sense of his infirmity, rhc glances cast upon him by stranger eyes, ome pitiful, some curious, others, alas! ex- l jressive only of annoyance and disgust, j ankled like so many arrows in his heart; ^ lot one missed its mark. How wistfully his tyes followed boys of his own age ? straight, landsome, happy?who sprang lightly up C tnd down the steps of the coaches, or f hreaded their way along the crowded plat- v orms. For one day of such a perfect, unrammeled life lie would have bartered all lie possible years before him. Yet he never 1 jut his yearnings into words, even to his c nother. c "Crooked Joe's a rum 'un," said one of his 1; otigli acquaintances. "He senses his trouble veil enough, but he don't let on to nobody." 11 Mr. Crump, the telegraph operator, was V foe's constant friend. It was he who, at odd c nomcnts, had taught the boy to read and p lad initiated him into some of the mysteries if the clicking instrument, which, to Joe's maginative mind, seemed some strange crea- 11 lire with a hidden life of its own. a It was growing toward dark one Xovem- p icr afternoon. Joe?never an unwelcome | 'isitor?sat curled in a corner of Mr. Crump's j iffice waiting for his mother to finish her vork. He was laboriously spelling out by he faded light the words upon a page of an i a Illustrated newspaper, quite oblivious of the j r icking, like that of a very jerky and rhcu- p untie clock, which sounded in the room. Mr. Crump, too, had a paper before him, mt his cars were alive. Suddenly he sprang o his feet, repeating aloud the message j f< vhich that moment flashed along the wire, y "'Engine Xo. 110 running wild. Clear c rack.' " He rushed to the door, shouting the news. "Xot a second to spare ! She'll be down " n seven minutes." b The words passed like lightning. In a mo- a nent the yard was in a wild commotion, den flew hither and thither, yard engines . teamed wildly away, the switches closing * ichind them. The main track was barely clear when 110 a ume in sight, swaying from side to side, her ? vheels threatening to leave the track at each evolution. She passed the depot like a mecor, her bell clanging with every leap of icr piston, the steam escaping from her t! thistle with the continuous shriek of a de- a non, and the occupants of the cab wrapped rom view in a cloud of smoke. Some hundred yards beyond the depot the c rack took a sharp upward grade, from vhich it descended again to strike the bridge ]< cross a narrow but deep and rocky gorge, j ^ Men looked after the flying locomotivej'. .ml then at each other with blanched faces. The crowd began to run along the track, j oine with a vain instinct of helpfulness, i 1 ome moved by that morbid curiosity which ? eeks to be "in at the death." Hut look! Midway the long rise the speed f the runaway engine suddenly slackens. tl "What does it mean ? She never could a' li ied out in that time!" shouted an old yard- < nan. Excitement winged their feet. When the jremost runners reached the place the smok- 1] ug engine stood still on her track, quivering | S 11 every steel-clad nerve, her great wheels e till whizzing round and round, amid a llight j f sparks from beneath. i "What did it ?

The engineer, staggering from the cab with ; lie pallid face of the fireman behind him, lointed, without speaking, to where a pale- j S( iced, crooked-backed boy had sunk down,! ? anting with exertion, beside the track. si At his feet a huge oil can lay overturned j nd empty.

They caught the exhausted child, Hinging iin from shoulder to shoulder, striving ith each other for the honor of bearing, im: and so, in irregular, tumultuous, tri-'s mplial procession they brought him back to lie depot and set him down among them. ; j| "l'ass the hat, pards!" cried one. j .. It had been pay day, and the saved engin-! ij or and liroman each dropped in their loutli's wages. Not a hand in all the throng liat did not delve into a pocket.

DURING the past four years, the readers of Tiik KNqrutKH have been told not less ban one hundred and lilty times, that the IORBIN DISK HARROW is the best fanning inpleinent ever introduced in the South, and the easons for making this hroml and sweeping laint have been stated over and over again, and lot only have the claims been made, but their orrectness HAS BEEN PROVEN into and again by the statements, or testimoniisofas good and as reliable men as can be found u York county or anywhere else?men whose cord is their bond. Notwithstanding all this, here are scores of good and intelligent farmers vho do not seem to bo convinced of the trutliulncss of the statements, because it seems to us hat if any man, in any business, was convinced hat any machine "or implement would be as , jreat a benefit to him as these reliable and , UNIMPEACHABLE WITNESSES ay the Corbiu Disk Harrow is in the farming insiness, he would not hesitate a minute about mving it, even though it cost twice as much as t does. We say it looks that way to us. How loos it look to von, reader? I0W, HERE ARE THE REASONS t hy the C'orbin Disk Harrow is the best farming mplemcnt ever oH'erod the farmers of the South : 1. Because it will put any kind of land in iropcrshapc for easy and profitable cultivation t less cost than by any other known method. 2. Because wheat and oats can lie put in in one- j iftli the time consumed by the ordinary "plow- | ng in" process; at one-A it h the expense, and | he work will be done twice as well, and the ' ield, all things being equal, will be at least 25 | icr cent, greater. Wheat and oats can be put in with a C'orbin i [arrow when the ground is too hard to plow. 4. It will pay for itself in one year as a timeaver. , 5. It will pay for itself in one year as a labor , aver. (!. It will pay for itself in one year as a crop- , ncreaser. \ 7. It is so simple in construction that it can be ' uccessfiilly operated by a 12-year old boy or an I j iiorant negro. 8. It is practically indestructible and will last rom 15 to 20 years. Does it not seem that any one of the above easons is suilicient to commend the implenent ? Then What About the Combination ? j We can prove all the claims made, and in addiion to proving them by responsible witnesses, , ( back every harrow sold with those claims | ] ml will gladiy refund every cent paid for a | ' arrow if it falls slioit of claims made. The ' 'orbin Harrow has been on the market since ( HOT, and not a single solitary one out of the 1 liousands that have been sold, has failed'to give ' ntire satisfaction.
