To Make Boys Good Fanners. The Indiana Farmer has this talk to farmer3 about their boys: From the first, boys on the farm should be induced to take an interest in the farm, in the stock, in the implement", and in all that pertains to the business. Tell them all your plans, your successes and failure; give them a history of your life and what you did and how you lived when a boy; but do not harp too much on the degenerate character of the young men of the present age. Praise them when you can and encourage them to do better. Let them dress up in the evening, in? stead of sitting around in their dirty clothes, as is too o.^n the case. Set an example before them of attending church on Sunday, and such other times as are convenient, and take them out enough in the world so thtj ivill not be bashful, awkward or ignorant of the ways of gen? teel society. But do not eucourage strolling over the country in company with other boys on Sunday, or allow them to go where they please of nights. They may think you a litth trict, but in ma? ture life will thank you. In order to in? terest them on the farm, and make their live3 agreeable and pleasant, give them a piece of ground to cultivate as their own, and allow them to have the money for their productions. A boy who is in? dustrious because he is afraid of being punished can't amount to much as a farmer. Such a boy won't stay at home any longer than he can help it. When they secure money from any source which is tlft; fruit of their industry, help the boys to invest a good share of it in a pig, cow or colt, and allow it to grow up on the farm as theirs. Show them the folly of spending their money foolishly for everything they see, but encourage them to invest a good share of their earnings in useful books, for their in? struction and amusement. Teach them industry, economy, morality and Christi? anity, and steady, temperate habits. -. Hot Bed for Potato Slips. Ninety Six, S. C, March 18,1SSG. W. .1. BARKSDALU.Laurcns, S. C. Dear Cousin James: By request of your father I write to tell you how I make a Jiotbed for propagating potato slips:' For 4 or 5 bushels of potatoes, take two planks G feet long and 12 inches wide, and two other 3 feet long and same width, set on edge and drive strong stakes behind them forming a box, on unspa ded ground. Fill this box with dry stable manure, (avoiding moisture as much as possible,) get on and pack firmly, reducing it to within 4 inches of the top of the box. On this, spread rich soil or woods earth U inches, smooth with rake and put down your potatoes and cover with three or four inches of soil, with a little sand on the ton. This completes the planting. Now raise ono side four inches, to give fall to shed the rain, cover with wide plank, (common boards will not do,) four feet long and break the joints. The object is to retain heat and keep out moisture. About five days alter bedding, run thohand down through the potatoes and into manure, continuing this daily, and as soon as found uncom? fortably hot, throw off the cover for twenty four hours; then recover, but continue to examine daily, and as often as found too hot again remove the cover as above. Twice or thrice removing the cover will be found sufficient. I uncov? ered mine only ouce. In about fen or fiTleen days your potatoes will begin to sprout, and as soon as sprouted, lemove the cover entirely and begin to water, moderately at first, increasing the quan? tity daily as your judgment may dictate. Remember that until the potatoes are sprouted, no rain must be allowed to fall on the bed. The least shower would scald and cause them to rot; also, do not neglect the daily examination as di? rected above. By this process every eye on the potato produces a sprout simultaneously, in? creasing enormously the number of draws for first transplanting. Then if the directions are strictly adhered to, no loss from rotting need be feared, as when exposed to cold rains. After the slips are well up, they can be protected from frost by replacing the cover. Do not be in too great haste to transplant, but wait uutil the root? become woody and are three or four inches long. They will live and grow off more rapidly than if set out when young and tender^ Very truly yours, R. A. Griffin. Cotton Picking by Machinery. The problem of picking cotton in the field has at last been solved, and during the coming season a number of machiues which are now being manufactured under the patents of Mr. G. T. Bugg and owned by the Uuited States Cotton Har? vester Company whose office is in the Cotton Exchange, will be in active oper? ation. The. exhibition which was recent? ly given on the floor of the Exchange under very great disadvantages demon? strated that the machine would do the work it is intended for. _ Sinco that timo work has been begun on the new and improved machines, and it is safe to say when they are completed they will pick fully 80 per cent, of the cotton in the field, ouce going over. There arc also in course of manufacture small machines for planters who have only a limited number of acres under cultivation. Under the most favorable circumstan? ces the United States Cotton Harvester Company do.es not expect to sell outright many machines this season, hut it is de? termined that the people of every section of the South shall have a chance to wit? ness the working of the harvester on the plantations. Ocular demonstration is what the planters want, and they arc to have it. At the office of the United Sjates Cot ; ion Harvester Comp:<?y .Mr. Hugg, the | ! President, said thai the people of the I South will not be di>;i:>poiu!rd this sea? son. The machine wi'l be pu! inactive j operation in the lali. Mr. Bugg has ! j organized his company under the laws of the Sta'r nf New Y<tIc ai d has set aside a miiii [ori'nui of I he Mock for sale. Thi' proceeds an- inlendid to increase the manufacturing faciliti*.** of the company : and for that only, fo knowing that he has ;i gmul thing in the machine, Mr. j Bugg intend j to h ?!?! u U> h:- ii terest. j Said a gentleman who lia* large inter- I ests in Mississippi and Louisiana and who has taken a great interests in the development of the machine: "No ono kuows better than a planter that the perfection of a machine for picking cot? ton in the South will be the salvation of that part of the country. Nothing is Deeded so much. I have seen many in? ventions tested for the first lime, but I have yet to see one placed before the people for an initial test as far advanced as was the cotton-picking machine ex? hibited on the floor of the Exchange. It picked cotton and delivered it, and what more can-be asked for on the first test. Of course there are some minor defects which are yet to be overcome, but that is always the case. Was there ever a thing made perfect at first."?New York World, March 21. -? ? '..i Preservation of 1he Soil, The reckless and exhaustive system of cultivation practiced upon our large farms, before the war, has left us a legacy of poverty in the soil. The natural in? crease of the labor, under the system of slavery, made correspondinp demands for open lands, and forests were merci? lessly slaughtered, and fields, failing iu maximum yields, were left to be washed away by the rains and scarred into gap? ing gullies. In many places the pros? pect now is unsightly and the outlook for intensive farming is not full of hope, at least upon the face of appearances. It is a great satisfaction to know, how? ever, that nature has done much for our soil, not only in its original fertility, but also in its power lo recover itself under proper methods and judicious manuring. The statements already presented to our readers as to the possibilities of our sec? tion, and the actual results upon the farms of the State, arc a sufficient guar? antee, that farming will pay handsomely in Georgia. To rhis* good crops upon our rolling lands proper attention must be given to the preservation of the soil. If year after year the land is to receive, a deposit of expensive plant food in the shape of commercial fertilisers, farmers must not be content to take the single crop it may furnish and leave the residue of manure to be washed into the branches and creeks before another crop can be grown. If the soil docs its best service, its re? sources must be husbanded. Cultivated fields must be preserved from the tramp? ing and grazing of stock, protected against the washes of the rains; they must he made to absorb and hold all the plant food put into them. The matter of s"il exhaustion has gone far enough with us, and it is time now we had called a halt. The farther we go into evils of any kind the more difficult we fiud it to retrace our steps. More and more is this matter pressing itself upon us, and we are. gratified to find a corresponding re? sponse on the part of farmers at the South. Our people'are awakened to the necessity for a change in the care aud improvement of the soil; the results are satisfactory and profitable. The first evil to be guarded against is the washing of the heavy rains. Terraces and ditches are objected to, because of the amount of land they occupy and the attention ^accessary to keep them in order. This question involves simply a balancing of expense as between keeping up the fortifications against waste and allowing tlip land gradually to pass away. 'A little expense distributed through each season will, in the course of a few years, make a soil of magnificent capabilities, whereas neglect in thi.s way will bring about a barren waste of sterile, unpro? ductive fields. Terrace your lands to save, the soil, and then see that all the ploughing is done in such manner as to preserve rather than draiu off the plant food. Soils are exhausted just as animals, by overwork and insufficient food supply. A continual taking cut and never put? ting back would eventually exhaust the sea. Changing crops from one field to another rests certain elements of the soil aud puts others to work; regular rota? tion, followed by abundant manure sup? plies, will not only preserve but improve our lands. Begiu this system at once; build up, strengthen and preserve the soil, increase its capabilities, enlarge its productive? ness, intensify all its powers, reduce the area of work to such a limit as can be easily compassed, and let the soil of the farm show its possibilities under judi? cious, intelligent care, and abundant yields will be annually secured.?South? ern Cultivator. Very Romantic Indeed, "I had a strange experience once in huinau hair," said a member of a firm of human hair importers to a reporter for the Philadelphia Times. "A French la? dy of noble blood, who had been my friend for years, wrote me a few months ago, inclosing a lock of hair which was a peculiar shade of drab and of silky fine? ness. She wanted me to match it, and I set about doing so. I dispatched my agents all over Europe, but nowhere could they fiud a thread of hair that would match the sample. "I then inserted an advertisement iu the principal Philadelphia, New York and Boston papers, offering a liberal re? ward fora switch of the desired quality and color. One day a woman about twenty years of age, shabbily dressed, but with a form and face that Venus might have envied, entered my office. " 'I came in answer to your advertise? ment,' she said, and removing her hat, unbound a luxuriant coil of hair that called from me an involuntary cry of admiration. 'Will thi.s do?'she asked. "I examined her hair and compared it with the sample sent me by the countess. The two were so similar that when I mixed them together I could not distin? guish one from the other. " 'This Jjair is exactly what I want," I said, "and I will giveycu $200 an ounce for it." " 'Take it off,' said .she, with a nervous trembling of her voice that at once at? tracted my attention. 'I am starving, 1 and my baby, and what you arc willing lo pay is a fortune to me.' "I became interested and quest!' ned her. Aller a litlle hesitation she told me her story. Her husband had been a sea captain, and shortly after they were ! married, had sailed for the west coast of Africa. His vessel was never heard of after leaving port, and it was presumed ' she had foundered at sea and all hands had been lost. The presumed widow had struggled to maintain herself and infant chilli, but with indifferent success. Fi? nally, when suffering from the pangs of hunger, she bad read my advertisement and hastened to my place of business, praying inwardly that her hair, which had been her husband's pride, might be the n.M'iired eba<1.e. "Well, .to make a long story abort, I bought her hair, which weighed four ounces, and paid her $300 for it. I sent the switch to my customer, thecouutcss, and wrote .ier the history of the hair. She is a woman of great wealth and goodness 01 heart. The return mail : brought me a letter authorizing me to pay to the poor little sailor's widow $1,000 extra. I did so and wrote an account of the affair to our official journal, which is published in Xew York. The story was so romantic that the daily papers copied it and I received several letters from charitable people offering pecuniary as? sistance to the sailor's widow. She was' proud and refused to receive any help. "One day, about three weeks after the publication of the story, a man who was bronzed and bearded came into my office very much excited. He held in his hand a copy of a New York paper and uphold? ing it pointed to my story. "Can you give me the address of this woman ?" he asked, eagerly. "She is my wife; I thought her dead." "While 1 wrote down the address he told me his story. His vessel had been wrecked on the African coast, and he and two others of tho crew alone reached the shore. It was several months before they managed to reach a civilized port. He immediately sent word of the disaster to the owners of the foundered vessel and wrote to his young wife. From the for? mer he received a reply, but he heard no word from his wife, and when he reached Philadelphia discovered thatshc had mys? teriously disappeared. One day in look? ing over ?. paper he came across my story and hurried to my office to learn fuller particulars. I sent him to his wife in my carriage, and you can imagine what occurred at the meeting, for each be? lieved the other- dead. I wrote to the countess, giving the sequel to the story, and the result was that the shipwrecked captain now commands her yacht, and the wife who sacrificed her hair to buy bread sails with him on every voyage." How Uill Lit the Fire. "Mebbc you've seen my boy P>ill hang? ing around here?'' queried a farmer of a policeman at the central market. "He's a commoulooking chap, a little bow? backed, and has red mittens, a blue comforter and a scared look." "I saw such a chnp about au hour ago but he's a man grown." "So's Bill. He's as big as anybody, but he. don'' know nulhin.' The other morning he got up to start the fire, and come to look around he couldu't find a match in the house. It's a half a mile to the nearest naybur's, and what did that smart son of mine do? He put kindling into the cook stove, tucked some paper under it, and then got down the shot-gun to try a brilliant experiment. He thought the flame of the powder would set the kindling* going aud save him a tramp." "And didn't it?" "Why, the long-legged iguoramus never stopped to sec if the gun wasn't already loaded, when, H3 a matter of fact, she had a big charge of powder and a handful of buckshot already down. When the gun went off the report riz everybody out of bed in a twinkling, and away went all the glass in the kitchin windows. We haven't got the house ful? ly clear of smoke and ashes yet, while the charge of shot blew the whole back of the stove out." "What did the boy do?" "He was lying on his back on the floor when I got down. I got some water and put out the conflagration in his hair aud eyebrows and goatee, and then I led him to the back door and gave him a lilt which lit him over a snow-drift six feel high. I guess I was a little too hasty. I heard he came to town, and I thought I'd hunt him up aud sort o' apologize." At that moment Bill came around a corner of the butcher market, aud the father held out his hand and said : "Bill, you are the biggest fool in the Slate of Michigan, but you can come back home all the same !" "Do you want me to ?" "Sartin. You don't know 'miff to chaw gum, aud it's wonder you hain't bin bit by cats since you left home. Git in thar' aud miud the team, while I go and price a new cook-stove."?Detroit Free Press. ? To he becomingly attired one must avoid extreme fashions and must modi? fy eccentricities of style. A small fig? ure never looks well in an extravagant costume. Simplicity should goveru where natural beauty and grace of form prevent, or should prevent, over-dressing. Loud dressing is abominable in either men or women, and carries the im? pression of an upstart. Nothing detracts so much from the appearance as affecta? tion, which carries with it the idea of bad breeding, and induces remark. A lady should never dress so to excite uncompli? mentary comment, and a gentleman is to be recognized by the modesty of his at? tire, as well as by his refined deportment. ? "Papa, you will have to buy me a new silk dress very soon." "Why, it's 'not long ago that I bought you a new silk dress. What's the matter with that one, my dear?" "It is badly worn about the waist. It doesn't look fit to be seen." "ll'ni. Isn't this the second silk dress that young Mr. Featherly lias worn out for you?about the waist?"' "I?I am j afraid it is, papa," replied the blushing girl, "but we have one consolation, you and I. It must, cost him a great deal for coat sleeves." ? A mischievous youngster who lives at the West End was mildly reproved by a maiden aunt for sliding down the bal? usters. "I do not think mother likes Lo have you do so, Johnny," she said. The future statesman, engrossed in his sport, paid no attention to her. "Come, John? ny dear," she persisted, "I wouldn't do that."

She is hardly past the prime of life, and is cow in good health, having recently recovered from an attack of scarlet fever. When the writer was in practice in Northern Vermont he often had occasion to prescribe for the different members of a family in which the mother had given birth to 25 children, having three pairs of twins in the crib at one time. The same woman had two sisters who had borne, respectively, 22 aud 18 children, making a total of G? from the three sisters. It is needless to say that all th.e families are poor in the financial sense." ?

What Two Prominent Physicians Say of a Noted Remedy. Crawfordville, Ga., Democrat. B. B. B. is without doubt one of the most valuable and popular medicines known to the medical science, and has relieved more suffering humanity than any other medicine since it came into use. It has never failed in a single instance to pro? duce the most favorable results where it has been properly used. Physicians everywhere recommend it as doing all it is claimed to do. The following certifi? cates are from two prominent physicians, who have done a large and successful practice for many years, and upon whose judgment che public can safely rely : Crawfordville, Ga., July 15,1SS5. Editor Democrat:?For the past teu years I have been suffering with rheuma? tism in the muscles of my right shoulder and neck. During this time I have tried various remedies, both patent mediciues and those prescribed by physicians. Last summer I commenced using B. B. B., and could sfJe an improvement by the time I hod taken one bottle. I have been taking it at intervals since last summer, and can say it is the best medicine for rheu? matism I have ever tried. I take pleas? ure in recommending it to the public. J. W. RHODES, A. M., M. D. Crawfordville, Ga., July 15, 18S5. Editor Democrat:?About November of last year I had what I supposed to be a cauliflower excrescence on right side of neck. I used local applications, which effected no perceptible good. 1 com? menced the use of B. B. B. and took it regularly twelve bottles, and in due time the sore healed over, and I now consider it well. I cheerfully recommend it as a fine tonic and alterative medicine. S. J. FARMER, M. D. ?'Meal Bag on a Beau Pole." Elbertox, Ga., June 1, 1S85. .My brother has a son trrht was aillicted with rheumatism in one of his legs until the knee was so badly contracted that he could not touch the ground with his heel, and had scrofula. He took ouly two bottles of B. B. B., and scrofula and rheumatism are both gone. Mrs. M. A. Elrod came to my bouse the past ?Limmer almost covered with carbuncles and boils. I got two bottles of B. B. B, and before she had got through with the second bottle she was entirely well. She was also troubled with swollei feet and ankles, and had been for twenty years. All gone?no trouble with swollen feet now, I was troubled with bleeding piles since 1S?S. I used one bottle, and have felt nothing of the kind since taking the medicine. The clothing that I was wearing when I left Atlanta fitted me about the s?;me as a meal sack would a bean pole. I baye on the same clothing now, rind they arc a tight fit. You can do as you like with this; as for me and my household, we think three B's is fully orthodox, and will do to swear bv. Respectfully yours, J. M. BARFIELD. FOR SALE BY HILL BROS., Anderson, S.
