Farmer' Column, ?ST Communications from our Farmers on any matter pertaining to Agriculture, are respectfully solicited for this column. Terracing. I commenced terracing on a small scale a litte'over one year ago, sufficient to de? termine the matter for myself whether it would pay. Last fall and this "spring, I have terraced more extensively and ac? cording to promise, I give you for publi? cation my experience and conclusions. The terraces first made were made on lands that washed worse than any places on my farm, the land being cultivated in cotton and sown in wheat last fall. Those terraces stood through the heavy rains we'have had, it being cultivated with rows running parallel. By fall the ter? races had become settled and held all the water above them. The wheat now, just above the terraces, -looking better than elsewhere, showing that they have caught and held much available plant food Those made in the fall were made in lands cultivated in cotton last year and sowu in wheat in the fall. They did not stand so weU, but broke in several places. I attribute the failure to stand to the following causes: 1st. They were not sufficiently large and strong, being plowed with the common twister and thrown up with shovels on a hard sur? face, the land being immediately plowed above them nearly half filled them up. 2d. Water furrows left pointing towards the terraces, which ought not to be done. In some places the water accumulating ontside the field allowed to enter and rush headlong against them. It should not be required of terraces to hold any water except that falling on a field. Terraces for wheat should be made large and strong, by using a good heavy turning plow, throwing at least six furrows in a bed and tben elevating it by throwing some of the lower side of tho bed on the top and some additional work at those points where the water has been accus? tomed to pass off. All this should be done, because the surface of the field soon becomes hard and tho water finds its way to the terraces very rapidly. Oftentimes they break by oozing through from the bottom, sometimes occasioned by the track of a mole. Those made in the spring and land bedded before the rains with but very few exceptions, have not broken over. In nearly every failure to hold in all the terraces, I. attribute it to myself in deviating from the estab? lished rules and not to the system, viz., too much fall between the terraces and neglect to turn and carry away water coming from woods and unterraced lands above. Where the terraces are broken, it can be clearly perceived that the dam? age has not been as great as it would have been if there had been no terraces. The water being held in a body on a level above when an outlet was formed moved rather sluggishly and expended its force over more surface, distributing the soil that it moved more frequently in other places in the field, rather than in the usual way, down the hill and into the branch. Almost everywhere in the wheat land, even near where the terrace did not hold, can be found the little wash or gully, commencing near a terrace, sometimes not larger thau the track of a wagon, winding its way down until checked by the one below and these de? positing the saud and sediment, that otherwise would have continued its downward course, gathering strength and velocity at every step until perhaps an unsightly gully would have been formed and much of the essential elements of the soil carried away. I am not at all discouraged, far from it. We must re? member that we have had an unusual amount of very heavy rain recently with terraces unsettled and I am rather glad of it because we can now see the mis? takes we have made aud avoid them in the future. My only fear now is that if we have much rain, a few weeks from now, it may tend to drown out young plants. If it does this, perhaps it will be counterbalanced by a retention of moisture after summer showers. I con? clude with a comment on an extract iu your issue of 21st, takeh from proceed? ings of the society in Greenville County. "In a conversation with Captaiu McKen? zie by Mr. McBee, he, Capt. McKenzie, stated his old terraces were all right.' Tho best average report of wheat, oats, corn and cotton that I have seen or heard of from upper or lower Carolina v>as from Capt. McKenzie's farm in Green? ville County, stating that it was so well terraced that scarcely a drop of muddy water could be seen leaving it after a heavy summer rain. Drive a stake down there and resolve to stick to it. If they break, patch them up. A farm cannot be terraced in a day; no, not iu one season, but a little now and then will complete it.?J. W. Woffoud, in Spar tanburg Spartan. Uscfnl Information for the Southern Farmer. Under the caption "Farming and the Farmers," the Industrial South says: Every man's interests are involved in every method and every means for tho encouragement and improvement of agri? culture ; and yet, palpable as this truth is, it is rare to come up with anv man, not an agriculturist, who, in the pursuit of his own immediate ends through the agency of his owu particular calling, is not altogether furgetful of the fact that in the lap of old Mother Earth, at last, is always lying the fortune of the fullow? ers of every vocation in life, whether they be merchants or mechanics, lawyers or doctors, preachers or teachers. It is just there that a most material joint in the harness of tho human industries is allowed to be so overlooked, neglected and impaired in its functions that the whole panoply of productive power is filled with rifts, for agriculture to be assailed on every side, and for all the in? cidental arts really dependent upon it to be betrayed iuto antagonisms ultimately a3 hurtful to them as to the farming art which is the victim of their finesse. When the seasons have been favorable and the crops are good, there is cheerful? ness in all trade circles. Why is this sc?? For the simple reason that crops mean money, and money means business, and business mcan3 profit and prosperity for the men of business, whether they be bankers, or manufacturers, or transpor? ters, money leaders, or money-spenders. On the other hand, when the seasons have been bad and the crops arc short there is a general depression of spirits among men of reflection in all the do j partmcuts of trade. And why is this so 1 j For the simple reason that it requires no I reasoning to reach the conclusion that when the fields have been meagre in pro? duction the markets must necessarily be meagre in affording opportunities for that extent and activity in trade from which the artificers, in contradistinction to the producers, in the great hive of human energy, derive the big results of their operations. Thus we see that, without qualification, it is universally conceded that agriculture is the basis of all busi? ness, the bottom of all commerce among men, the supreme agency in tho regula? tion of all movements in that immeasu? rable machinery by which the perpetual motion of man's energy is uniformly maintained. This being so, it is matter of amazement, when we como to think of it, that men of intelligence and sagacity in all the other callings of life should be so bliu'l to their own interests as not only to do nothing for the furtherance of agriculture, but actually to combine and conspire against the farmers' interests and tho farmers' rights; for it is a fact that the tiller of the soil, somehow under the workings of trade, as a general thing, derives from the profits of his capital and his labor but a grievously dispropor? tionate share of the values that are evolved from them. This should not be so, and the time is not far in the future when a more advanced civilization will say it shall not be so. Ensilage, Ensilage is no humbug, but has come to stay. It has been faithfully tried now for several years, and all practical farm? ers who have tried it join in the same verdict, that it is good, and we can't afford to do without it. There are yet some doubtful ones that think it is too expensive; that it will do for men of large means, but small farmers can't afford such things. It is all a mistake. A silo to hold ensilage is cheaper built thau a baru to hold the same quantity of hay cured dry; they can be built of stone, brick, concrete, timber or dirt. Where the clay is clear of stone, a pit dug in it and properly drained and shel? tered will keep it uicely, and for weight, there is plenty convenient. Cover your eusilagc with boards and throw on one foot of earth, and you have all the weigbt you want; it is better than stone, or barrels of earth or gravel, as it more effectually excludes the air. Ensilage of corn should be planted in May, so as to be ripe the latter part of August or early in L ^tember; then you have more leisure to cut, -haul and put away than you do later. I call it ripe when fully silked and tasseled, then the sugar is in the stalk; before that it is tasteless, h should be cut down and allowed to wait four or five days before you haul to the pit,'and it should be always cut up as it is put in; it is a great saving of time to do it then, and it keeps much easier, as it can be spread in the pit more evenly than when left whole, and paeiV. b?tter. From one inch to one and one-half inches is better than shorter, and if allowed to dry a few days before cutting up" it loses its watery sap and makes sweeter ensilage. I have tried cutting it up as fast as I cut it in the field, but I found that having so much watery sap iu it then, it invariably be? came very acid, but the other way it made sweet ensilage. I have tried put? ting it up whole twice, and will never do it again, if I can possibly help it, as it is difficult to get it packed evenly, and then the air will travel down the sides and damage it very much on the sides of the pit. There are other materials be? sides corn. Rye, cut in the bloom and cut up, makes good ensilage. Clover, pea vines or most any kind of green grass will make good ensilage.?Southern Planter. Ploughing the Orchard. Many of our readers will soon have to meet the not too easily settled question of how best to plough an orchard ? That an orchard is the better for being ploughed once in two or three years has been demonstrated times without number, but that the harm done in performing the labor often counteracts the good is painfully evident. When the sap flows ! as it does at this season of the year the i bark flies almost at a touch, and the I roots are about as easily injured. One consolation is afforded the ploughman when the roots are injured, the damage is hid from sight. To avoid injury to the limbs and body I of the tree requires the utmost care, but tue certainty of success may be greatly increased by a little preparation in the way of suitable teams, harness and hitchings. Unless the trees have ex? ceedingly high tops a team of small an? imals is much the easier handled. Hames should not extend above the collar for if they do the danger is equal? ly great to them and the tree. Single? trees should be so ironed that the tug will bitch on the end and leave no pos? sible chance for the end of the wood to catch hold of the bark. Leather tugs are of course preferable to chains. The ground should not be ploughed deep and as the tree is approached the plough must be borne more and more out of the ground. The roots of a tree gen? erally extend out about as far as the tops, and the small roots, which are most numerous at the extremities, are the ones that take up the food from the soil and sustain the tree. When these are torn off the growth of the treo is for the time more or less retarded. Other small roots will soon form, but all this cripples the growth a little. To sum up then, we want, first, a careful man, then a small team, short hamc3, leather tugs hitched to the end of the singletree, and again, a careful man to handle them. An orchard cannot be made in a day nor a year, nor can any amount of money hasten its growth. Time and labor and eternal vigilance are the price, and when once made a good orchard should be carefully nurtured.?Journal of Agricul? ture. Clover as a Fevlilizcr. The question as to the value of clover as a fertilizer, when aud how it is most valuable, &e., has had limited discussiou in these columns, and is entitled to all tho consideration it is likely to receive. Clover is a biennial plant, and to do the land the most go: d should bo allowed full possession of the ground until into the second year. Probably tho best re? sults will follow ploughing in the first crop of the second year when in full bloom, but the crop i* so valuable for feed when cut and cured that most fann? ers will prefer to do that and plough under tho second crop, which is almost as good, a::d with the additional growth of roots is, in mmv. cases, just as good. The value of the ruols of clover h joinc times overlooked and scarcely ever ap? preciated. Prof. Roberts, of Cornell University, N. Y., bad a portion of a clover crop analyzed, roots and all, and after drying it until the roots contained only 10 per cent, of water and the stalks 11} per cent., the stops of stalks on an acre of ground wore found to weigh 3, 295 pounds, while the roots of an acre weighed 4,893 pounds. Thus it will be seen that it is important to have the crop remain on the ground for the second year's growth since they continuo to grow from the start, while the tops are cut off or die down each year. Another object in letting the crop re? main so long without ploughing up is, that as the roots grow long they pene? trate to a greater depth into a subsoil and . carry into it elements of nature which release and utilize plant food in that stratum which would otherwise lie dormant. Still another.ndvant.ige is the smothering of the weeds. A good heavy growth of clover will do this pretty effectually. It will also rot out old Btumps by keeping them almost constant? ly wet. Clover can hardly be dispensed with on clay lands, and the man who undertakes to farm without it makes a great mistake, and he will be fortutiate if he discovers it early.?Journal of Ag? riculture. GREAT MEN'S WIVES. ?The Story ot JLiifayctte and Iiis Krldc?Two Kachclor Presidents. If you ever read the life of Lafayette you will learn that he married when he was .sixteen years old. His wife was the daughter of the Duke de Noalies, and she was, as she ought to have been, the younger of the two. When Lafayette resolved to come to America and give his services to our forefathers in their strug? gle for liberty he was laughed at by his father-in-law, who was at the time the French Ambassador at the English Court, ?.nd all his blood relatives who belonged to the French nobility. Mia young wife alone of all his faufily sym? pathized with him iu his noble and un? selfish resolve. She urged him to go and bade him God speed when be sailed from Bordeaux in April, 1777, to join his for? tunes with what every nation in Europe considered to be a lost cause. Through all the months and years of uncertainty aud danger she wrote him the most affectionate and encouraging letters, and when in after years he was thrown into an Austrian prison, she voluntarily joined him as soon as she was permitted to do so and suffered all the privations and tortures that were inflicted on him, and was so broken in health when they were finally liberated that she never en? tirely recovered. This story might be lengthened out and given in beautiful and touching.detail. I only refer to it because when reading it I happened to bo struck with the idea that nearly all the men who have done really great and heroic deeds in the world have been married men. Who ever lived through more tempestuous times than Lafayette, and what man in 'history has left behind him a fairer name? He lived to be sixty-five, and more than forty-five years of that time were passed in tumult and revolution. No man was ever more de? voted to his wife and family. The same may be said of Washington, who was married before the Revolution began and whose wife was his steadfast friend and counsellor through all the dark and discouraging times that befell the American army. Lafayette's wife hastened to join her busband in au Aus? train dungeon, where he lay for five long, weary years. Washington's wife hasten? ed to join him at Valley Forge when the fate of the country huug in balance and almost every heart failed. Napoleon won his greatest viotorics and reached the apex of his fame while Josephine was his wife, aud while he loved her. When his overweening ambition tore him away from her, hi3 star began to decline and his desertion of her for the Austriau Princess did more to create distrust and dislike of him in the; minds of his own countrymen than any other act of his life. Nearly all the great soldiers have been married men whose wives were de? voted to them through all the uncertain? ties and horrors of war. One would think the man who least needs a wife 13 a soldier, and yet the best soldiers, whether in the ranks or in command, are married meu. All the great commanders of tho late war were married men. The pathetic story of Gen. Grant's de? votion to his wife and the quiet influence she exerted over him is too well known to need recital. Gen. Leo was a married man, and the historian has not yet arisen to describe the beautiful devoliou of his wife through the fearful conflict that ended in the surrender at Appomatlox. Gen. McClellan was a married man, aud the happiest moments of his life were spent at his own fireside. The domestic lives of the three most celebrated Gener? als of tbe late war make their memories precious to the friends of each and teach a lesson for all mankind. All the Presi? dents of the United States have been married men except two?Buchanan and Cleveland?and, as everybody knows, a wife would have been a good thiug for each of tho notable exceptions. Mr. Buchanan was a courtly and elegaut gen? tleman, and Mr. Clevelaud makes a good, practical, business-like President; but Mr. Buchauan will always be regarded j with a cold reserve, and Mr. Cleveland cannot be called a social favorite. The world at large wants to hear of the do? mestic quality of its heroes. If it is a young mau who dies on the battle field, it likes to know that he.loves his mother or his sister, or that ho had a sweetheart who would have been his wife in time. The dearest traditions, the tendercst sentiments, the most touching romances, tho greatest pictures and the noblest sculptures have their origin in some scene or incident that leads up to the family altar. The poets are the only reputable people who defy marriage. Shakespeare would not let Romeo remain the happy husband of Juliet, but kills both of them. Aud this is the funda? mental love play of tbe world, yet if it could be reconstructed according to the wishes and sympathies of nine-tenths of mankind, Juliet would recover from the sleeping potion before Romeo takes the Verona apothecary's poison. Goethe does not allow Faust to marry and have a chance to attain the full development of the perfect man. He shows clearly enough that knowledge will not make a man happy. Faust sits iu his laboratory and knows everything, but is yet unsatis? fied. He hears the voices of happy chil? dren and goes out into the world to sec what there i.s for him. lie finds poor Marguerite, but it were better for both him and her if be had no', and his von ture is a failure. He returns more mis? erable than ever, ami so dues every man wim tries this experiment. ? Pay for yn< paper. They Shouted iu one Breath. Bishop Selwyn, who interested himself greatly in the poor, one day coming on a company of miners, heard them talking in a very animated way so loudly that he said to them : "My friends, something seems to interest you all very much ; I heard your voices quite in the distance ; may I inquire what it is?" To which they replied: "You see that copper tea? kettle there? We found it and we were just saying that the one who could tell the biggest lie should have it." "Oh !" said the bishop, "I am sorry for that; I hope you will never again tell lies. 'Tis a fearful bad habit, and so unmanly. Why, I never told a lie in my life." Whereupon the four miners shouted in one breath: "Give the governor the kettle."?Exchange. ? The Democrats have Governors in twenty-one States. They have Govern? ors in all the sixteen Southern States, and in New York, Pennsylvania, Cali? fornia, New Jersey and Nevada. ? The reunion of company B, Gth South Carolina.cavalry, which will take place at Edgefield Court House on the fourth Saturday in July, promises to be a very pleasant one. Lieut. Gen. Sher? idan, United States army, was invited to attend, but ho writes to express his sin? cere regrets at being unable to accept tho invitation on account of already having made engagements to be elsewhere iu the latter part of July. The invitation was sent Gen. Sheridan because of the state? ment made in his report of the battle of Trevyllian station, fought June 11 and 12,18G4? and which is now to be found in the "Rebellion War Record," that the 4th, 5th and Gth South Carolina regi? ments of cavalry, commanded by a Col. Butler, gave him more trouble than all the re3t of the cavalry engaged in that battle. In the invitation sent the gen? eral ho was promised a warm and hearty reception, but of a more agreeable nature than the one extended him at the last meeting twenty-two years ago. Hawthorne's Richmond Speech. The Richmond Whig reports Dr. Haw? thorne as follows : But twelve Counties in the State of Georgia now sell liquor, and when the Georgia Legislature meets next Novem? ber they will pass a prohibition law, and then liquor will no longer stain her proud escutcheon. Atlanta is happy and prosperous. Printed statements in the papers of thi3 city to tho contrary are false. "I repeat it?false." The literal truth is that two thirds of the business men of Atlanta are doing larger business now than one year ago, and not one business man is able to say that he does less business. ****** Dr. Hawthorne, continuing, said -that Senator Brown, who had talked about increased taxation, owned a large amount of property on a certain street made up mostly of grog shops. He then referred to liquor. I am one of the fanatics about whom the whisky ring organs have spoken. I am fool enough to believe that the poorer classes have wrongs to be redressed, and as sure as God reigns they will be redressed. There are thousands of men whoso children are crying for bread. He had found this where there was no idleness, where husband and wife toiled to keep the wolf from the door. What was the cause of this destitution ? One was the "Jay Goulds" of business. That was a cause, but not the main cause. The cause was that every year $000,000, 000 of corn and other articles were con? verted into intoxicating liquors, which only brings misery, disgrace and damna? tion. Stop this and never again will it be said that America's chiidrcu cried for bread. * * * * * The charge is made that all this is puritanical. I would not give one person brought over by the Mayflower for a whole regiment of wine bibbers, beer suckers and whiskey blowers. Close these dens of vice, and if the people of this city dou't prosper the Bible is false and God is a myth. Continuing, he said that if the wine which Christ made and Timothy drank for his stomach's sake was tbo only liquor sold to-day thero would be no need of a prohibition party. If the Legislature had passed a law allowing you to vote for a law licensing gambling you would have beeu horrified at such a base idea, yet compared with the liquor-seller the gambler is angelic. 1 would far rather take the gambler into the church than lake the liquor dealer "How astonishing is it to see the piety of the liquor man, how"holy is he when he holds up his hands, and in holy horror says that we men must not preach tem? perance cu God's day." Said thespeaker : "Thereare uicn in this city who will never speak to me again, but their silence will be a grander trib? ute to my mouth than the sound of many brazen trumpets. The truth is, he said, 'the liquor ring have told about one hundred thousand lies about me. One i3 that my church has gone down to nothing. In the last eighteen months 354 new members have been added." A voice?Any liquor dealers among them ? Dr. Hawthorne (loudly,)?No, sir." He then eulogized the purity, worth and work of women. Closing he said, "Heroes of the grandest chivalry, stand your ground and uover fear." Bucklon's Aniftct Salve.

Heretofore the treatment of nearly all these diseases has been very unsatisfac? tory and unsuccessful, aud the people have been very much deceived by pre teuded remedies. A majority are caused by an impure, vitiated condition of the blood, and as most of the blood remedies of the day require 50 to 100 bottles be? fore you discover that they will not effect a cure, we offer B. B. B., which makes positive cures by the use of only a few bottles. The most; commou of the skin diseases which are cured by the use of B. B. B., the only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows: Eczema, Old Ulcers, Impetigo, Abscesses, Erysipelas, Dry Tetter, Ringworm, Carbuncles, Scaldh'jad, Itching Humors, Pruritus, Blotches, Old Sores, Herpes, Pimples, Boils, Itch, Splotches. Ucautitul Complexion is sought by the use of cosmetics and all sorts of exterual applications, some of them being poisonous. All females love to look pretty (which gentlemen do not object to) and a smooth, soft, clear complexion adds greatly to female charms. The use of B. B. B. will purify your blood, will remove blotches, splotches and bumna that appear upon the face and neck, and will tinge the pale cheek with the roseate hues of nature. One or two bottles will convince any one of its value. No family .should fail to keep B. B. B. in the house, r.s there is no family medicine its equal. RhcnmuUsm. One author says: "Rhumatism is due to the presence in the blood of a vegeta? ble organism of definite characters." Another ?ays: "It is due to the pres? ence of a poison in the blood which is of the nature of a miasm." The disease having its origin in the blood, it is reasonable to c- uppose that it must be cured by remed es directed to the blood. A succession remedy must produce certain changes in the composi? tion of the blood, and whet, this has been accomplished, all pain, swelling and stiff? ness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why ex? ternal applications fail to produce perma? nent relief. ' But we now have the reme? dy which acts like magic in giving relief to all forms of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles and heart. It also cures syphilitic and mercurial pains and rheumatism in an incredibly short time. The fact cannot be denied that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has proven itself to be the most speedy and wonderful remedy for all forms of rheumatism ever before known. Men with two crutches, and hobbling along with stiffened and painful joints, withered flesh, loss of sleep and appetite, are cured by the use of B. B. B. Cast aside all other remedies, use B. B. B. and you will soon have no use for crutches. Many who read this will refuse to be cured by the use of B. B. B., but wo ad? vise all such to drop us a postal card for our Book of Wonders, free, which is filled with startling proof of cures made here at home. It also contains full informa? tion about blood and skin diseases, which everybody should read. Address Blood Balm Company, Atlan? ta, Ga., and you may be made happy.
