And next, grass is the cheapest food unou which stock can be raised and the cotton States have plenty of the best kind of feed to fatten them—that is cotton seed. What an Old Farmer Says. This is the advice of an old man who lias tilled the soil for forty years: I am an old man, upward of three ! score years, during two scores of ! which I ha*e been a tiller of the soil. The Cotton Seed Question. Planters Journal, Vicksburg, la your paper I see an article on the above subject, in which you say that the planters grumble somewhat, because the oil mills have banded to gether to get seed cheaper than they are really worth. Well, I don’t think they should grumble about this. The oil mill men have a right to meet together and discuss their interests. They have a right to divide up the the territory, and say that each mill i hog, well fed, is more profitable than shall have the privilege of buying I two kept on the same amount ueces- I cannot say that I am now, but I have been rich, and have all I need; do not owe a dollar, have given my children a good education, and when I am called away will leave them enough to keep the wolf from the door. My experience 1ms taught me that: 1. One acre of land, well prepared and well cultivated, produced more than two which received only the same amount of laber used on one. 2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or only from his own district. They frave the right to contrive any means of getting seed as cheap as they cun. A* business is now conducted, this is all fair and legitimate. Life after all ourcussiy’ and abuse is only a game of poker, a game in which greenies are fleeced and sharp ones get rich. But are fho planters compelled to sell at this price the mills have put on them? Well, yes, if that is the best that they can do with then), and It Is the right, as it should be the fluty, of the planter to look around and see if ho cannot do better than to soli the seed at any price the mills can afford to give. Mr. Edward Atkinson of Boston, q:»oo said that ‘*if cotton would grow as well in the North as it does Iq the South, that they could afford to false It for the seed alone.” When I flrst heard this I supposed it all bun- comb, but from the test of the value of cotton seed as feed stufl, both in the Soutli and Canada, I am satisiied he Is correct. Prof. John A- Myers in Ills address in the Cotton Plantcrs’s Association, at Vicksburg, Novem ber, 1883, said; ♦‘When corn was worth $1.11 per hundred pounds, pottou seed meal was worth $2-32, and potton seed $2.03 per hundred pounds.” At this rate a ton of seed Is Worth as feed for stock $41.00, and a ton of cotton seed meal only $40.40. $?ext analysis and actual experi ment have shown that a ton of cot- ion seed is worth as much for ma nure os a ton of commercial manures that is sold at $40 per ton; and many $housan(^^>ns are sold in the cotton ami Jsd ITom stock, could supply the wants of the planter if no commercial manure tyere put on tbe n) arke L An exper iment made at the A. and M. College in feeding cotton seed to cattle showed that flesh could be put on cat tle, even in mid winter, for less than two cents per pound. By this ineuns, If fed to cattle oi\ the planta tion they will pay $33 to $70 per ton. Jn my cogutry not a ton of seed is sold po mills; all are bought bv cattle men, and they have paid this winter and full $9 per ton at the gin and some are bauled fifteen miles to cattle ranches. While I do not know how long the hulled seed, with the oil iu them could be fed hi mules without hurt, f do know of a man who fed a pair pf fancy horses on them for three fnontbs, and they dj<| well and had u nice coat of hair. You quote au article ftom the In dependent in \yhjc4 it is shown bo- yqud doubt that the mills only make B2 cents on each ton of seed. Well, it is really wonderful how anxious people are to start mills in every available place, on such small profits; and one feally wonders where is the charm in bulling cotton seed when he sees the mills paying a nice good talker $2,(XX) fis a salary for six months’ work, “Just to induce the planters to part with the trash;” and it seems won derful when he hears of country merchants receiving $1,000 to buy seed for them, \yell, as old man Duncan nsed to say, when he lost money in a cotton deal, ‘‘By jings, aint this cotton thing a wonderful thing, and I never wijl just understand it.” So,'planter, if you wish to sell your peed for moro money, look around and see if your fields do not need them, your lauds ore wearing out—even the rich bottoms, that were once sup posed to be inexhaustible, are failing rapidly. The small planters can buy beef cattle off of grass in September for two and a half cents per pound gross, pud by feeding them cooked cotton sary to keep one well. 3. One acre of clover or grass is worth more than two of cotton where no grass or clover is raised. 4. No farmer who buys oats, corn or wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule, for ten years, can keep the sheritl away from the door in the end. 5. The farmer who never reads the papers, sneers at book-farming and improvements, always has a leaky roof, poor stock, broken-down fences, and complains of “bad seasons.” 6. The funner who is above his business, and entrusts it to another to manage, soon has no busiues to at tend to. 7. The farmer whose habitual bev erage is cold water is healthier, wealthier, and wiser tlian he who does not refuse to drink. Democrats, and nowhere, scarcely, are there evidences of the hostility and distress that were so plainly visi ble only a few months ago. There is every reason to suppose that the masses of the negroes will vote in the future acccoding to their interest, and that they will soon ap preciate the fact that they can hope for no help or advancement from the Republican party. There is little doubt that by the time four years shall elapse the Democrats may safely count on a very large portion, if not au actual majority, of the negio votes. It may be assumed that the South will be as solid as ever in the next Presidential campaign, and it is probable that two or three States now Republican will then be in the doubt ful list, placed there in the main by the negroes transferring their votes to the Domocratic party. The Re- publieans cannot lose the negro vote in Illinois, Wisconsin, or Michigan, and have any assurance of being able to carry those States. The Democratic administration has made a good beginning in commend ing itself to intelligent and fair negroes all over the country. The leading minds of the race, especially in the Northern States, have for some time been almost ready to break off from the Republican party. Let them now come boldly over to the Democracy and they will never have cause to re gret the step, for the Republican party has not only outlived its usefulness but its power to do them good. Redding Sweet Potatoes Slips. Fayetteville Observer. My plan has been for many years, to bed my slips about the middle of April. I first lay off my bed and dig out one spade deep, and fill the place up with manure, such as shucks, pine straw and corn stalks, trample them down by walking on them, then put water on until wet, then cover with some rich earth, lay the slips down, placing them so as not to lie on each other, put some rjch earthy or well rotten manure on, so as to fill all va cancies or cracks, don’t cover the potatoes yet with earth, but cover them with rice, wheat, or pine straw, % to inch, then put up flat rails edgewise, as you want to stem of the sprout long, stake the rails so they will ^ ^ lilCkh,* 0 If”* 1 of rail with rich earjtfi, such as the weeding of the of the fence or some fine manure, raising it a little above the rails so you can rake off with a rake before the sprouts come, and when you begin to pull up your sprouts you will not be troubled with the potatoes coming up with them, the straw holds them to their places and will more readily sprout again as it is not removed. Water your drawer bed witli soapsud water in dry weather, if not soapy water enough, water with water that has stood in the sun for several hours. The best time to plant sprouts is du- ing the mouth of June, those planted before June will not do so well. Having Mavure. Around many farms there are piles of leaves blown into fence corners, into the ditches, and every other place about the premises. These should he hauled into the hog, cow or horse lot to be trampled and rotted, or dumped ntio a pit, wet and limed, for thesame purpose. All the rich surface soil washed by the rains into the same fence corners, sweepings from the backyard, the waste about the hen roost, pig sty, kitchen sink and other places, should he gathered up and piled for use in the garden, orchard or vineyard. Where cultivation is close around the premises this is an easy job, and will make an astonishing im provement in the soil, How Wilkes Booth Passed the Pickets. Philadelphia Times. “Did you ever know how Booth passed the pickets on the bridge of the eastern branch of the Potomac that fatal night?” said my friend. I will tell you as it was told to me by the old sentiuul who was that night on duty there. A half hour before the time agreed upon by Booth to meet Harold the latter, who had lived in the neigh borhood of the bridge all his life, and who was across the river in the little village of Uniontown then crossed the bridge to come over on the Wash ington side. ‘Who goes there?’ said the sentinel on the bridge. ‘A friend, going for a doctor,’ replied Harold. ‘Pass,’ said the sentinel. He quietly rode up Eleventh street to Pennsyl vania avenue and Eighth street, and there iu the darkness waited until the thundering hoofs of Booth’s horse were heard coming down the Pennsyl vania avenue. The two horsemen then started down Eighth street to ward the bridge on that ride for their lives, which ende^ iu Garrett’s burn ing burn in Virginia, a hundred miles ^TTuerg/ 1 rang tmti pawayr "gof? vv no on the air from the startled sentry The Great Savings Institution!

Harold was ahead and cried out, ‘A friend with the doctor.’ The two men passed over the bridge, and it was perhaps several years after the reverberations of the horses’ hoofs had died away before the sentry knew who the men in such a hurry really were, and when he found it out he was nearly scared to death for fear he had failed to do his duty. ” pro- agri- The March crop report just niulgated by the department of culture says of .Soutli Carolina: “It is believed by some of the most observant farmers in the State that the grain crops of 1884 were the largest and best for many years, and the opinion is held by many thntthe corn crop was the largest ever produced. There is only a very small proportion of unsound corn raised iu the State, and there is none that can be classed a-< unmerchantable. In consequence o' the large production the price has been considerably lower than in aver- peed and hay for two months he can I a £ e y ears i a,K l 0,1 the 1st of March is put on about 250 pounds of flesh ami pell them for 5 to H'.j cents gross, or a profit of about $30 on each steer. This can be done more easily on large plantations in the river bottom, but js rather too small a business for them, In the same issue I see an article by Prof. F. A. Gulley, in which he tolls your readers, that cotton seed pieal is worth double corn meal for food for stook. He tells you also that the oil in the seed is good food; he /odso says that the hogs get fat when picking up the cooked cotton seed where cattle were fed. Now, does pot this tell yoq what to do with your cotton seed?—where you can sell therpfor a good price? A'ld then the seed crushers can meet together to contrive and plan how to induce you to sell for $8 per ton. Then they can sand around their agents as they have a right to do. But you can tell ’em you have no seed to sell at that price. In a few years there will be a race of people occupying the cotton States who will know how to dispose of their cotton seed. They are coming from the North and \yest, and from Eu rope—a people sharp, quick to take advantage of such openings as the raising and feeding of stock in the cotton States offer to men of capital and energy. For it is just as certain as fate that the Southern States touch better than the North to quoted at sixty-five cents per bushel Borne of the wheat was damaged in the shock by rains, but the loss was not heavy. Much of the wheat grown in the .State is shipped to other States and ground into flour, but the con sumption of wheat exceeds the pro duction. There is about 29 per cent, of the crop remaining on hand, all of which will be used during the year. The quality, owing to the causes mentioned, was not better than an average, but altogether, was nearly as good. The average weight being per bushel, fifty-seven pounds. Malione. Senator Mahone dines at Chamber lain’s, saj*s a Washihgton letter, at about 4:30 every day. His favorite seat is at the Fifteenth street end of the bay window on First street. There was a time when any Repuplican Sen ator would have been glad to dine with “Little Billy,” as he is familiarly known. Now he is lucky to get a stray Virginia carpet-bagger. A lit tle, wiry, nervous man always swing ing his foot under the table, with a pallid face and a reddish beard of a tone as though sprinkled with white dust, he is always waited on with sur prising obsequiousness. This is not because he is liberal with loose change, but in part because his round, burning eyes startle the black waiters into frightened servility, and in part because he used to bring with him big money-spenders, who were liberal with fees. Mahone is very despon dent these days. The civil service rules will not hinder the displace ment of the henchmen in Virginia to any great extent. The President knows these fellows to be offensive partisians of the worst stripe and the Democratic Senators will stand no unnecessary delay in getting rid of them, and the same is true of Southern oflleerholders. They have all got to go, and to stand not on the order of their going. The Colored Vote. Savannah News. The negroes have heretofore been Republicans—that is, the large ma jority of them—not so much on ac count of gratitude for their freedom, which the Republican party claims to have given them, as from motives of interest. Affer the Immense influ ences that have been brought to hear on them, and the fears of re-enslave ment, excised by unprincipled poli ticians, it is wonderful how rapidly the prejudices of the negroes against the Democratic party are giving way to a feeling of confidence and respect. In many parts of the country lead ing negroes who have heretofore been strong Republicans are waking up to are}the fact that the progresa and inter ests of their race are now In the keep- What Jay Gould W'ants. Washington dispatch to the New York Times. A Western Democrat who is entire ly friendly to President Cleveland, but who fears that he may overlook some of the dangers that beset him, said to-day that lie was convinced that no important Federal appointments for the State of Kansas would be made that were not acceptable to the Gould- Huntington railroad interests in that State. He said that these monopolists ba l employed their attorneys, strong and influential Democrats, to keep watch and bring other influence to bear to defeat any applicant for office who might be suspected of hostility to the railroads. The gentleman who made this statement has felt the op position of the Gould men and knows how powerful it is. Gould is deter mined to have ids way under a Demo cratic administration even if it costs a great deal money to get it. According to the Medical Record j 5 per cent, of .all cancers are situated upon the tongue. The average dura tion of life iu cancer of the tongue is, without operation, stated to be ten and a half months; with operation, sixteen months. In some eases—after operations—patients have lived from two to five, and even ten years. Speer’s Port G FOUR YEA This CELEBRATED juice of the dead ripe O m Speer’s vineyards.
