I“Iiieliland” in Augusta Chronicle.] •South Carolina was the first South ern State to adopt the “no fence” law, - and the result of her experiment has i been regarded with a great deal of in- _ terest, and now all of the other States . | are asking for her exj>erience. Most of these inquiries come from Georgia, and all of the parties writing for in formation intimate that efforts will soon be made in their section to secure the adoption of the law there. It is astonishing that any argument should be necessary to convince people of the (Those interested in fanning and the subject* genualu to it. are cordially invited to send in contributions to our agricultural department.

The Pea is a Renovator. i Rural Recorder.] Mr. W. K. Gibbs, of Davie, Georgia, reports some experiments with peas and wheat extending over several years, which illustrates this: The soil was a hard, gravelly one, with yellow clay subsoil, and was much worn. In 1S70, 71, and ’72, the land had been cultivated in tobacco, corn and oats, successively. In October 1S73, Mr. Gibbs sowed the land in * r * * , * , . , per cent, of the total amount used is wheat.

Twenty bushels of peas per acre were gathered this year which sold for one dollar per bushel the next summer. In June, 1870, seventeen and one-half bushels of wheat per acre were har vested, the season being an average one. Peas sown and turned under as usual. In 1877, twenty-three bushels of wheat per acre were harvested. The season an average one. In the spring of 1877 clover seed were sown on the wheat and harrowed with a light liar- row. In 1878 the land was pastured until late summer. In the fall the stand of clover not being sufficient to leave over, it was turned under and the land put in wheat. No manure was used all this time, except once a little stable manure on a plat that was much poorer than the rest. The in crease seemed to be in the weight and length of fhe heads and not in the straw. Mr. Gibbs prefers the whippo- will pea, because it is earlier and ma tures more peas and vines before the per eent. In the northern counties 39 | health of a place is a legitimate mat ter of newspaper discussion. It seems to me there can be no libel where the editor of a newspaper publishes the and 7 per cent, chemicals; in the mid-j truth, whether it was injurious in financial results or not. It does not ! seem to the Court that evidence has ! been produced to show that these al- | leged statements were untrue. [The Court here read from the indictments kainit and 4 per j the alleged libels which appearad in It is estimated that ( the Reg inter of the date of August 23d, the fertilizers pur- j 1882, and said,] These are the state- I ments on which the State has elected j to stand. As I look over the evidence II fail to see that the State has proved ! these statements false so far as they I profess to make a statement of their j untruth, which, they must do. The statement of the editor of a newspaper must be q^true to make him liable. It seems to me that it is the duty of the Court to instruct the jury to ac quit the defendant.” The law on the subject of libel is peculiar and complicated, but two of the main points to be taken into con sideration are truth and motive. If an honest, truthful statement is made and the motive for making it be a pure one, the aggrieved plaintiff gen- sa id | erally goes out of Court a “madder,” wiser, but poorer man. We congrat ulate Mr. Cook on his victory. If all editors were outspoken, fearless and truthful there would be more libel , , i suits, no doubt, but the moral atmos- durc dry \veather better if water isap- , p^ere would be purified by the thun- plied freely to the toliage, than they j ders of forensic eloquence. It is said that “tomatoes will do | much better if they are now provided ! with some kind of a frame to keep the ! weight of the fruit from splitting the main stem or breaking the branches. 1 Such an arrangement allows the sun ! to enter and ripen the fruit much bet ter, and keeps both limbs and toma- I toes out of the dirt. A light rail, or two light rails each side of the row, I with laths nailed across between the \ plants, makes a very good trellis for i tomatoes. Even an old hoop skirt I suspended between two stakes, with j the larger end at the top, will answer i a good purpose.” A noted horticulturist once ! that if he could have but one way of| I applying water to plants he should ! j prefer to apply it to the leaves. It is j i frequently observed that plants en- j time for plowing, and because than do if watered entirely through the ground. The explanation of this fact the j is obvious. Transpiration, or evapo ration, takes place through the leaves. This evaporation is cheeked by the application of water to the leaves, causing the plant to make greater use of the moisture it obtains from the soil. President J. M. Smith, of the Wis- consip Horticultural Society, is re ported as saying that he is satisfied it i has pays to pick off all strawberry bios- ’ Continent, in spite soms from new plantations the first 1 f° rts to suppress it. season, thus keeping the entire i strength and growth of the plant within itself, and preparing it to yield the largest possible crop the following j vear. j To protect tomato and cabbage plants from being cut off by the cut | worm, wrap a bit of paper about the j stem extending up an inch or so and ; low enough to be held in its place by | the soil. The first paper to hand, vines grow' in a way to be more easily turned under. If sown in rows and cultivated, the peas are just so much better. A Herald’s Y'oice. It is the opinion of the New York Herald that for fifty years or more it was considered that no Southern plan ter could be a gentleman unless his crop consisted either of cotton, tobac co, sugar or rice. Since the war the limits have been enlarged a little, so as to take in corn and wheat; but the general idea still seems to be that the proper thing in farming is to raise a large crop of a single article, sell the entire yield for cash, and with the money buy whatever the plantation and its tenants require. A few weeks ago some North Carolina farmers gathered to protest against this sort of tiling and to encourage one another to raise hay, grain and fodder for their live stock, vegetables and fruits for their own tables, and pay enough at tention to cattle, sheep, swine and poultry to be able to have a home sup ply of meat. After the necessary time, labor and money were bestowed upon | than in the soil they till. Place a these things the remainder might be | good wide-awake farmer in one of the devoted to making some single crop j most unpromising agricultural neigli- for market. The plan is a good one j borhoods and he will not only make but the South is not the only section | his own farm better, but also increase that needs to put it into practice. At! the value of all the land in the the West thousands of farmers devote ! einity. themselves as exclusively to corn or I ~ — wheat as the Southerner does to his j favorite crop. At the same time they ; pay more for hams and bacon than j these articles cost in New York, and j they scarcely ever taste fresh beef; as for poultry and fresh vegetables, they | are as scarce as in mid-ocean. The farmers of this class, no matter what they plant or how well their crops do, are generally in debt and largely de pendent upon whiskey. Subdivision of farming, like subdivision of labor, is profitable in thickly settled coun tries, where any surplus may rapidly he exchanged into almost anything else that is desired; but it is a great blunder in sections where farms are large, neighbors few, and a special trip to store or market consumes at least half a day of time. —The young Queen of Spain passed through" Paris on Wednesday, with her two daughters, on her way to meet her mother at Franzensbad. Madrid is rife with rumors of a great court scandal, which is to the effect that, having ascertained the relations of the King with a lady of the royal circle, and being unwilling to take the view of such matters usually indulged by royal personages, she has fled with her children from Spain, and will never return thither.

A writer in the Homestead, of Pat- tonville, Iowa, says: “The prevailing custom of raising cabbage plants in a hotbed or frame and afterward trans planting them is a mistake. We have experienced for seveal years, using both pa odes, and invariably get the best results from planting the seed iu the hills where we wish them to grow; planting three or four seed in each hill and thinning them out after they show the fourth leaf, taking the poorest plants out and leaving only the strongest. Last year of my cab bage planted in this way several weighed over twenty-five pounds, while those from plants carefully set out in the usual way and with the same cultivation would weigh scarce ly ten pounds. Transplanting cheeks the growth at the most critical time, and the retarded plant shows the ef fects during the whole season and less likely to head.” Englishmen own some large farms in the Unsted States. Sir George Reed has2,000,000 acres; Earl of Dui * more, 100,000; Earl of Dunraven, 600,- 000; Duke of Sutherland, 400,000. We believe the Earl of Airlie’s estate owns 30,000 acres In Colorado, while a rich English corporation has invested $2,- 000,000 in ditching and irrigating a large tract of land in that State. Mormonisin Growing Stronger. The Mormon power is growing rap idly in other Territories as well as in Utah, and national legislation seems to have no perceptible effects iq.on the vigor of the Mormon Church, or | the industry and enthusiasm of its | colonizers and emissaries. Mormon- i ism is generally supposed to be con-j j fined to the Territory which contains j the central citadel of the Mormon ' I faith, but the truth is that the Latter ‘ Day Saints encamped long ago in \ | other Territories, where their power to- | 1 day is great. In the last Legislature 1 j of Idaho half of the members of the i j House and half of the members of the | | Senate were Mormons. In one or 1 j two other Territories Mormons are j said to hold the balance of power, and i j the church has a large and thriving! ! colony in the State of Colorado, where j j the socalled Apostles of Salt Lake | , City are now buying more laud for the use of converts now on their way | to the West. In Europe and in the Southern States the emissaries of the | church are laboring with great suc cess, and Brigham Young asserts that 20,000 converts will join the faithful in Utah and elsewhere this year. The Mormon problem has not been solved, and its .scluUon wiii become more dif ficult as the years go by. -GO TO- flORMAHY’S^ARf^GALLERY, [Wade’s Old Stand,] 703 Broad St. - - AUGUSTA, GA. \\rY have the same portrait artist, t T Mr. Branson, and can give you fine city work in every branch of art.
