FRANKLIN J. MOSES. .
Tho late Chief Justice Mose? and my
i clf were admitted to the Bar in Fquity
at the ?une timo. He had been admit
ted to practice in the Cboxtof Law tw'elvo
inontbs.bcfpj^v waa admitted in bothj
courts ntthoUK O*, time. I met him soon
afterwards in a Union Convention in
Columbia. Ho tfcs thru a (J niau msuji
but one night made a speech which ' dis
pleased bia -Union friends very-inucl?,
dov. Manning*:>thc father of thc pre-cut
cx-Gov. Monning, was a' member^ of this
Union Convention from the same district
of Sumter, had a conversation with
Moses after the convention'. ?dtoi?u?d,
and reproved him far ?bia Speech. Tho
next morning MftJ*H catho into the con
vention, made an explanation, and was
received back, into full -/cUowehip a? a.
Union ?natv. -?- havo frcqucptiy thought
since that this speech cliaroctericed the
mau ir. after life. He was wanting in
? boldness and decision1 vf character,-und
afraid to take any step for fear1 ?f the
' t^hi*F' Justice ^osea rosebery' rftj?i??^
at the.Bar, apd tKU>ii,bad. a.ciim>naiidiug
5>rnctice. _ Ho was (ono of the. most m
lustriouu . and ' indeArt?gabio lu wyora I
ever knew. He had a great tact, too, in
getting business, and had one -?tlc or thc
other of almost f.rcry cr.se at his court.
No ono ever charged him with a want jf
zeal or ability in tho prosecution or do
fenco of his caIle :was well read in
his profession. Whilst I was Provisional
Governor; Moses applied for tho office of
District Judge of thc United States for
South Carolina, and I endorsed his appli
cation in very strong terms, for leard) ngj
ability and industry. But before his np
frication ?aa acted on by the President
io was elected one of thc circuit judges
of the State. He had been an applicant
for tho offierrpf district judge until? the
, Ct??f?(lcr?te government, and "the ap
Sjoiutmont was given to myself, by Preai
lent. Davis, on the recommendation ni
my friends in the legislature.
Whilst quite a young man; Chief Jus
tice Monea was> elected to tho Stat?* Sen
ate, and continued to bo re-clectcii or lil
or 16 yearn in succession. Ile was n
very stropg man in the Senate, and spoke
well and often. He seldom let any que?'
tion nasa without expressing his views or
it. ? served with him four years in tbt
/itate Senate.. I remember consulting
him, once, about some matter which wai
coming .up in the Senate, and'he ex
pressed : himself decidly with mc. Bu
thc next day ho voted against the meas
uro I advocated, and I said to him lu
had deceived me once, but would neve:
have an opportunity of doing so again
He had gloat tact in finding ont the pop
ular breeze, and, would never let it blov
in bis face loijg.' He nr.vJo a great mis
take, however, when ho permitted biaBOI
to have him elected Chief Justice by tin
Radical party. His son was, at tba
time, Speaker of tho House of Represen
tatives, and all powerful with thc mein
hers. Judge Moses was confident, tba
the;.whole State would bo Radical inti
vary short time, that thero would be i
.rouerai -tumble-over off; tho Democracy
and 0-race for office under the new're
gime. ' Ile thought that he was only get
ting ?uca? ox ?in j>emo6T&uo ' as?oct&t?c
When ho'saw/himself deserted by all'ih<
decent people of the State, and some o
his own kindred, ho wept ?ike a child, a
I ha' e been informed. I novor spoko t
him after he wont on tho Radical Bena!

Supremo Court when he first took ld
seat there, s '
Ho called to soe mo at Mr. .fairney'
residence, after his hopeful son ha
joined tho Radien! party, and spoke c
s his course with regret. . Hersait!, hon
over, that his Son had peculiar wcwn c
his own'in reference to tb* njattor.

'his was the cry of every corrupt scoun
drei who deserted his colors and' turnea
traitor to his State and principles. The;
wero all for the g^o?'of their country
Like tho Dutch mistress or George th
First of GreatrBritain.
I have no doubt that Chief Justic
Bf ?eV death ww occasioned by his dia
tra&of mind. He'was'agonizc-dbeUvcei
doing his duty and cruauing the part;
which had honored him. He was natu
rally kind-hc rted, and wanting in firm
ness. He loved office, and yet he wishet
to have tho respect of gentlemen,
have no doubt ho cordially detested, ii
his heart, tho corrupt and vulgar seem)

Indeed, the sweep id little else than the
old,old-fashioned buzzard wing, or shovel
and heel sweep. When we sow our grnin,
wo toss it from the hand. When wo plant
corn, wo drop it from the finger?. When
wc harvest, we use the cradle. When wo
break up lund or cultivate tho crop, we
use the single-horse plough, going across
the field back and forth, throe ti mea a?
pflen ns we should. And seldom, if evcr,,|
do we use implements that are decidedly
labor-saving.
Why is this? Aro we anti-progressive?
I* iann too cheap to warrant such invest
ments? Is our labor incapable of being
skilled to the ute of midi impleirretits?
Or are we too poor to make' trie invest
ments necessary ?,. Not one, but we ?ra
l'agi ne all of these combined reasoua have
their influence lipon us. We are sccus
tomod lo travel the road our ancestors
did, and any divergence from it ia a risk.

have to deal'With thc negro, and upon
him depends our' supply nf labor. And
ho is nversc Ur progress. Improved i ni'
pl?menla have to be bought, and this re
quires the cash, which we seldom have.
And so it goes, that, we cling to. our old
implements, mid are yearly fatting be
hind those who aro more, progressive.
There aro many things to bo' done,
however, beside buying the implements
upon bur farms before wc can successfully
usc them. The land must'be prepared
for them. All root?, stumps, jog?, rod;--,

In 18?7 wo purchased a Stafford culti
vator, (an awk>v7ird^- aud.not, ecqn?mtcal
implement, but tlicn tho beatlh uta,) and
duri tig-tjio bril day'n uno wo needed an |
extra hand along to caution us when wo
.were ploughing up tho crop. The imple
ment was known as n buggy plough, was
drawn by two horses, and ran four good J
shovel furrows, but tho work it did was 1
behind tho door.
Instead, pf-boingoucouroged in.tho-ugo.,
ni such an Implement, it was tlie Uugh'-. i
ing stock pf thc neighborhood. One
thought'wesnoold'ii?w nava au umbrel-'1
ht f another-suggested a jog between our
'feat ?lied' either with whiskey or water,
or both. The negroes had objections to
it, and could not bc induced to me it.
Ono thought he'd go to sleep in it ; an
nnothe.r knew he'd break it, and it would
oust bim;hi? year's wages, &c. But wo
persevered, rind alone did the ploughing
with it that year of thirty-five acres of
sorghum tr$t?fi?e acres pf-cottou, and'
seldom ploughed over half of any ono
day.
M We:subsequently purchased a "Chal
lenge" cultivator,'which was either ar
riding or walking cultivator, and found
it a great improvement upon 'the other.
Unable to induce negroes to use it, we
sold ?Wto-en energetic, young farmer,.who
cultivates! d Ail) colton and dorn crop
with* ft for several years, doing easily all
the ploughing for a crop thnt required
three good boo bandi.

crop, th'pn can br? done by the ?arno two

Our next investment in improved im

Deep lMoughhg.
However much thc opiiiioii of formen)
may differ in regard tb the cultivation of
crops, whether tho deep and high ridge
culture of tho Old school, or the Burface
skimming, flat cultuvc of tho "I'.-vi.do-.
narlure, ali agree upon one point, vfz:
that deep ploughing III the sptiug , ia.ab
solutely necessary to secure the Lest re?
suits., SQ. uni vocally . is this admitted
an.'! tho leif:on so obvious that it would
bo ?dio to qdvino it were it not that one
half of tho arabio laud in tho State iii
"broken-up ' with ono-horse plows, iopd
at the average depth. ot 'Jj to 4 iuch?s.
Lands thus pr?par?e' cannot fail lo dis
appoint tho. hopi of the farmer, and
I where thc heat or a July sun wilta the
leaves and thr crops come to a stand still,
he is really to murmur ana say i' is a bad
"crop year," when the f?uj{ to a great cx
tent lies at his own door.
La rid broke at rXonblojihLi depth, !s?v
7 to 8 inches, may not double the yield,
but it will increase it. Hy deep bread
ing tho area is virtually enlarged by
causing it to yield a large produce by ch
nbliag the roots of the plant to penetrate'
, downwards in search of food, whici. .is
taken up only when it is dissolved in wa
ter,,and thc deeper iba ploughing .the
more* mowara ls reUiuoa, abd-4 greater
i supply of food slowed up for the future
us?.
' - The subsoil , being broken, is mixed
with the soiJL, greatly improving Borne
3andttyahd'tho air freely admitted to th?
depth broken. Now the subsoil bei.ig
choler than the air, it acts m a condeu
|S?r,,and,ns thc air Ctiiae? in contact with
it,' water is formed. This water actirlg
upon thc meanie matter in the soil pro
duces Water, carbonic matter acid add
ammonia, threo essential constituents of
planta. This is nbtHhe least of the ad
vantages, .for thcae arebold for the bee-'
cfit of the plant, and will sustain it? vig
or of growth io shallow ploughed laud.
Indeed there is p"?nty of water held in
solution by the air in tlredryesf. Weather,
and if tho soil could bo .completely -pul
verized to a considerable depth; crops
might bojsised. with v?ry little rain, j
.^Dcpp breafeihg pr^v?ntajt^Ta great ex
tent the washing away of soil by rain ; A
rainfall that would wash '.'.wi ploughed
4 inches deep, would be entirely absorbed
and ruined by that ploughed S inches
deep. Anothor advantage of deep break
ing is, that all or mo3t of the "nilli"'on
the laud may be turned I uuder. This
keeps the soil loose audi light, prevents
baking, aird is really, a dressing of man
ure turned under to give up its fertilizing
prop..tics throughout tho season.
tr Th irv "filtli" on bottom land ?B som? -

fore ploughing. This, however, should
mi'i bo burned where tho ploughing can
bc done without it, sooner than burn (if
I the Jarid does not wash by overflow) -it

Tilt- Henson Tor Pruning.
'"The following "seasonable- ?rra!? rs'
from our valuable contemporary, the
'Cbuntry G'entlfpun :
' . It IH now admitted by all wb?^nare'
K' 'ven ?ilentiou fu the subject, and ii ?rn
i accordance wuh both theory and prac
tice, that to fit vor a free growth of the
shoots and leave*, pruning mould be pf it:
formed while treen are dormant or leaf
liit*. Ou the other hand, to check
'growth, and to promote fruit fulness, the
t>runing should be done on the trees in
caf abd growing. We'know of no culti
vators who dissent from these truths, ly
is commonly admitted, also, that summer
probing. favors a moro speedy healing of
the wounds
Each u'.:\j;n i, lburch .re, has its peculiar
advantages. # Unless the trcej haye super
abundant vigo/, tho pruning should not;
bc done after the buds be^ir: to awoll..'
Winter may be bx-Uct. than crrly spring
for hardy trees', by allowing the freshly
cnt faces to dry, and close the sap pores
before the commencement of growth ;
but. as cutting away branches :\\-.;:.y,\
makes trees irore susceptible to the eflVctS
of cold, thc work should not be per'
formed much bci'ore spring on hulf-teuder
' tree*. . Pruned at this season of tho year,
i they are not checked in growth, a;, when
the work is 'hmo in sunimerj when*.he
I tree must lose ? portion of its leaves,
rand become thus suddenly checked in
the pcrformai;.e of it* functions.
Pruning in summer, or while the trees
are in leaf and growing, may bc practiced
if they ure in vigorous condition, and
but a small portion is cut away at atiuie.
There can bo no harm at any Hcasou in
removing a single misplaced sho.-t. A
better way is to rub off needless shoots as
they are starting, or to pinch off the ends
to prevent extending, as this is not at
tended with a irge loss of leaves. If
trees grow too fast to bear, a general
pinching over thc head, ur a summer
thinning of the alioota of the whole tree,
wi), tend to induce fruitfulness the sec
ord year.
AB we have already stated^ summer
..?runing usually favors the more speedy j
bealing of the wounds where limb.) of
much size are cut off. Hut experiments
flo not prove that pruning at this season
is always best for tho irce. James Red
path, of Iowa, cut off a branch from an
apple tree'in .every month of the year,
and at the end of five yours, when all bad
healed o vor, thc wood was found least de
cayed,, on cutting iuto the tree, in those
pruned in February and March, and
most in those cut in June and July-the
latter having healed entirely over ono
year the soonest. Ih another similar ex
periment, all were healed o vor in four
years, ?nth a similar result. The decay
from the summer pruniug was about
three times as great as in winter.
In this connection wo offer a practical
hint for the mechanical removal of limbs
which require the use of thu saw. To
prevent splitting the bark on the lower
side as tho limb fulls, first make a small
cut beneath and opposite to the maia cut
made by the saw above; or if they do
uot quite coincide, let the lower one be
i slightly nearest the tree. This modo will,
not only leave a smoother face, but will
save time and trouble to the operator,
who m hst otherwise hold tho branch with
ono of his hands or by au assistant. The
sawing off of the stumps above mentioned
is rapidly and easily done without any
such care.
''SfeX OF E?GB.-A correspondent of tho
SoH(h*m Farmer tells how an old poultry
raiser distinguisher sex in eggs. It is
related as follows : " 'Eggs with the air
bladder ou thc sides will produce pullets.'
Tho old niau was so certain of tho truth
of his dogma, and the poul try yard-uo far
confirmed it, that I determined to makov
experiments upon it this year. I have,
done so, carefully registering every 'blad
der verticle' or bladder on one Bide, re
jecting every one in which it was not
decidedly one way or tho other, ns in
some it was only slightly out of the
centre. The following is tho result; 58
chickens hatched ; 3 are dead ; ll too
young: yet to decide upon their sex; of
the remaining 44 eveiy ono has turned
put true to the old man's theory. I tried
it myself and found it tp be correct, and
I think it lo be of great practical advan
tage, I am pleased to give it my full
endorsement. '
