.', % . A TonDg farmer's Work. Weekly News and Courier. You have been receiving reports from - different parts of the State concerning the crops made in 1887. I had a five acre patch planted in what is known as the Bancroft cotton, from which I gath? ered 7,848 pounds of seed; or six bales of lint, averaging 459| pounds, including bagging and ties. ? I also planted three ]^- acres of the Peterkln vaiiety, from which I gathered nearly three bales. My farm is only a small one, only run . ning two ploughs. The five acres that I mentioned above was . manured with twenty bushels of stable manure-and. cotton seed and one hundred pounds of Atlantic acid to the acre, and used three twb hoise loads oh the piece. I believe -id deep ploughing 4h our day Bubsoils until the cotton commences fruiting. Then I believe in shallow ploughing and scraping the land, and with only twoj farrows to the row, leaving a ridge in . : the middle. I made last year from my two horse farm 20 bales of cotton and 250 or 800 '. bushels of corn and a plenty of oats. I ' have pats in the sheaf and thrashed, and made 100 bushels of sweet potatoes on :c one acre of land.' The twenty bales of cotton I made from twenty-eight acres. : Some of our farmers complain of bard I .times, bat if they would only make their j own hog and hominy at home, times " wooldnotba so hard. Instead of buy? ing it from the merchant and depending jv on the. West and Northwest for it, why can't wo raise our own pork as cheap as V they can, and have pur own iugar-cured hams at home without buying them ? I am only a young farmer of about ten - yeftrs' experience, and I have sold more hama and bacon than I have ever bought. Some men say the farm does not pay, ; ;-\bat I say that the farm does pay. It is I not the.farm that does not pay. It is the " rheV that are on them that don't pay. - They loose too much time and waste too much money is the reason the farm does not pay. Farm implements have got r too cheap. We can't afford to make oi have them made, consequently there is a great deal of valuable time lost, and time '.? is money. ? The plough stocks, swingietrees, dev? ices and all are bought, because they are ; so cheap-; Yes, and they are very poor, too. The wood is brittle and easily broken, consequently a new one must ^ofteh be bought. The farmer, that is a farmer, should :, have him a shed and shop, and do all that ?s*k himself on rainy days, and have extra swingletrees and plough . stocks of bis own make and save all that! ^expense. One word to young men. Don't leave ' the farms to find a more honorable posi-! tion, bat take hold of the plough-handle yourselves, for I consider farming one of' . ... the most honorable positions that a young j man can follow. There is where the ? bread of all other professions comes from. If I were to tell your readers what I . made clear on my farm last year they! would say that it paid me. On the five acres that I made six bales on last year | f lam going to try to make ten this year, and I want to make my crop average a yhalo to the acre this year, for I iave con? cluded it is as easy to make a bale to the -: acre as it is a half bale. J. Simpson Domujick. Prosperity, February 4,1888. very Farmer .his own Chemist. It is impracticable for an editor, or : agricultural chemist, or the head of an agricultural department, to tell the far? mer just what fertilizing dements and what "proportions will give the best results- on the fanner's land. A well - informed scientific agriculturist can give . some general suggestions. He will tell /. you that all soils are benefit ted by application of phosphoric add and most of them by potash and ammonia. He : can also tell you that certain crops are especially- grateful for particular ele . meets. It was once generally taught that & a chemical analysis of the soil of a partic? ular field would reveal all its defects and deficiencies, and that the chemist could thereupon base a formula, as a physician ; prescribes for his patient after making a j careful diagnosis. This theory is no longer advocated and may be said to be exploded. It is not necessary to give the reasons why practice fails to sustain theory. Chemical analysis does indeed : frequently throw some light on the sub? ject, and sometimes furnishes a reliable suggestion or indication. But even ifj always reliable and servicable to the : farmer, chemical analysis can only determine the compostion of the particular, sample of soil ,* and that particular sam? ple may not correctly represent a single square foot of a farm except the spot ? from which it was taken. But, practical? ly, every farmer may be his own chemist, . to the determining what elements his soil, or a particular field, requires and what proportions, of these elements will give the best results. He has only to consider bis field as the laboratory of nature, the fertilizers./.be applies the re agents and the . details of "preparation, planting, culture, etc., the manipulations of the : chemist. If the farmer wants to know of < cotton seed meal or whole cotton seed, or the unexpressed kernel which is the best and most profitable form for use as a j fertilizer, alone or in combination; or if he wishes to know whether potash ig needed by his soil, and if needed, what form of potash is most effective and profitable; or if he- wants to know the best proportions, and the best paying quantities, or any other of a thousand . questions tbat might be propounded, let him put his laboratory in order, lay in a stock of re-agents, and do the work of analyzing himself. Let him ask Nature, and she will answer in an unmistakable way. In other words, let every farmer become an experimenter, to the extent at least of solving for himself the questions which come within the range of ordinary intelligence and skill, and which most concern him and his own farm. Such experiments, or practical analysis, cost very little more than the necessary care and attention requisite to secure accuracy in the details and reliability in the indications furnished by the comparative and direct result. The manipulations are such as the farmer has been accus? tomed to; they are a part of his daily business. Farmers do not experiment enough, or with sufficient care and painstaking as to secure reliable results. Too much is taken on trust or hearsay. "Try all things," and hold fast to the good, should be the watchword.?Allan (a, Gai, Southern Cultivator. ? Many lose the opportunity of saying a kind'thing by waiting to weigh the matter too long. What Women Can Do. .Twenty years ago, two maiden ladies, daughters of an English clergyman, were left orphans and poor. One was forty, the other a little older. They were ladies, with the training of ladies of their time? which, after all, was not so like ours. They could play the piano and paint on plush; but they were too old, too old fash ? ioned to teach. They could perhaps havo found shelter in a home for decayed gen? tlewomen, or been a burden on their friends. But they did something better. With the very little money they had, they left their village home and settled them? selves in the outskirts of London. It was but a few hundred dollars, but it sufficed for their project and their support till that project was a. success. They set up a laundry. They had women for the rough work; but the. clear starching and fine ironing went through their own deli? cate hands through the first years. They kept'the accounts, collected bills, in brief furnished the brains needed for a business enterprise. At the end of ten years they had a neat home/a huge business and a certainty of provision for old age. Another woman, after years of t each i og, found herself utterly broken down as to nerves, with the prospect of invalidism and dependence the rest of her life. She had saved a little money, and as soon as her health/rallied a little, she began to study medicine. She risked her last pen? ny on it, her friends en courageing her by the assurance that if she failed in her "fool's venture" she might go to the poor house for all their help. But she came of a race of doctors, and she did not fail. Despite age and delicate health, she built up a large practice and made for herself a -competence. Mental strength and disci? pline counted for much here. It is not like the other, an example every one might follow.?Emily F. Wheeler in Wo? man, Decaying Homesteads lo the South. . A great many of the plantations ih different parts of the South, which were once well known for^their size, the magnificence of the residences upon them, the hospitally of their owners, or on account of the prominence of the families which possess them, are now falling into ruinB. The reason for this is, perhaps, that the land has been worked so long without being fertilized that it has become poor, or it may be that those into whose possession it has passed lacked the energy, and skill which are required to make it pay under the present system of labor. One of these famous old places, in Liberty County.in this State, was lately sold to a colored man for $2,500, only part of the purchase price being required at once. It is. known as Laurel View, and is within two miles of the history town of Sunbnry. It was once the homo of the gifted John Elliott, and a very beautiful home it was. John Elliott once represented Georgia in the United States Senate, in 1820 to 1326. The plantation contains 2,800 acres. It was purchased during the war of secession by Linton Stephens, and was sold to the present owner by bis heirs. The district in which tbe plantation is situated was noted, from the first settlement of the State until the eman? cipation of the slaves, for the intelligent and wealth of -its citizens. It is now, however, almost wholly abandoned to the colored people. Its great plantations have been divided into small farms, and -the superb mansions, once the homes of men noted for wealth and culture, and of women famous for beauty and refine? ment, are falling into decay. and are being replaced -by cabins and nuts whose chimneys of slicks and mud tell more plainly than words the marvellous change for worse which has taken place in the once rich and prosperous district.?$z vannah News. Three Et asons for Not Going to Church. 1. I can worship God without going to church.? But do you worship God at home ? Do you ever try ? Did you ever set apart an hour on-the Sabb&th for the worship cf God by your own fireside? Have not many Sundays come and gone when you have not once opened the Bible? Have there not.been many Sab? baths wherein you have never bent your knees in prayer ? And do you call this worshiping God at home? As a rule, those who do not worship God in the sanctuary do not -worship him ul all. 2.1 work hard all the week, and I must have Sunday for rest. You must have it, you say; but vbo has given you leave to nse such language? Sunday is the Lord's day?tot yours. Tbe tact tbat you work hard for six days does not give I you any right to sin away the seventh. God intends that you should rest od Sun? day ; and the bodily refreshment which you need wil: be far better secured by going to church, morning and evening, than by loitering away at home all the ? hours of the holy Sabbath. 3. My clothes are so shabby I am not fit to appear at church. If you are so poor, you have tbo greater need of the gospel to comfort your heart. But many are very poor because tbey have lived in the neglect of public worship ; and if you would get rid of the deep poverty, you must first give up the practice which has brought you to rags. Come to church, receive the salvation which Christ offers, and better habits will bring better clothing. The poor man wbo gets a new heart will not be long before he gets a new coat.

Effects of Imagination on the Health o! tho Digestive Apparatus?Foods "fo? tho Serres"?Eot What Tour Appctita Craves?Moderation. It is entertaining to fieo how bo many people cat in Boston. Here, and for that matter all over the east, a dish of oatmeal is deemed tho necessary preparative and foundation for a breakfast. Half the peo? ple don't really like tho oatmeal. They swallow it perfunctorily, nud as a sort of medicine. It is supposed to give a great deal of strength. After they have eaten the oatmetd and forced it down their pro? testing stomaclis for sake of strength, they turn to and eat warm biscuit, sausages, ham and other foods for tho ploasure that thereby may be given the palate. This part of the world reeks with vari? ous kinds of "health foods1' and people who are trying to live on health foods. A man starts a "health bread" and a health bakery. He starts a little paper or circular with it to prove how unhealthy ' are all other kinds of bread; how, in fact, j the race is dying out from eating all other kinds of bread; bow be bos arisen, a sort of bread savior, just in time to rescue all mankind from dying of dyspepsia through eating other breads; how other breads are all but poisonous, because the mill that ground the grain into flour knocked off of each kernel of wheat a bit of substance about half the size of an atom, which is the only part of the wheat which can give the real stingo, the very essence of life, j vigor, morality, refinement, animation and "git up and git" to the mortal body, and show that's what's the matter with I everybody, because all other mills but bis 1 grind this off and out of the wheat, a fact j which he discovered only after years of | dyspepsia and meditation on tbo subject. This paper does the whole business. All other bread after that looks like loaves of poison, disease and death to you. You travel three miles out of your way to buy a loaf of this life and health giving arti? cle, and go homo hugging it under your arm and clinging to it as your only straw and hope in life. You can't make a meal without this bread. If you do eat other bread you are so sure It win give you dys pebsfa or any other complaint you hanker after that it does give it to you, for you know that you can think yourself into any complaint you put your thought on, just as yon can think yourself into any condition In life or move in any order of society that you fix your mind perse [ veringlyupon. j GREAT FOR TUE NERVES. * i But this is indeed a wonderful age. Na- j ? ture has given out'and failed to provide healthy food for man. Man has come to the rescue. We have now "liquid food9" ?great things for the nerves; full'of nerve force, whatever that is. Lots of us here ; in Boston don't get any strength from our meals at homo. We are obliged to go to the druggist's about 10 a. ra. and tone up on some of these improved liquids: "Box ine," "Toxiania," "JDaodime;" "Eplgas j trine," "Thoraxine," "Kidneyine," "Ex ' tract of Youth," "Pngiliana" (John L 1 always drinks a bottle of it before going : into the ring), "Squilgeeine" (Bamnm, ! king of beasts, has lived upon it for years), "Spreadeagleino" (Washington would have been aHve today could he have got hold of a bottle. My suffering friend, you who think and study over every bit yon put into your mouth as to the reception It will meet as it enters whatever of stomach you have left, it doesn't matter a continental or otherwise what you eat that lies in the or? dinary catalogue of foods. It's this eter? nal thinking about its effect on you and wondering or fearing that it will work the wrong way and make you feel disagree? able that makes you feel disagreeable. If you fear that bread won't agree with you > it w?l be pretty certain not to do so. Of I course, in your present immature and un ? developed state you have not yet arisen to that degree of power whereby you can do- j tout tenpenny nails, arsenic, oak chips or wooden clocks with impunity. But you j j don't want to devour them. Your palate doesn't hanker after them. Therefore let them alone. Don't order such things at the restaurant or from your grocer. THEN* DON'T EAT IT. If you gag at the sight of your regular plate of oatmeal for breakfast don'teat it It does you no good when you do not relish it. No food nourishes that the palate doesn't relish and take hold of vig pronely; Nature put appetite and tasle and relish for foods as a sentinel, a j warder, a keeper to tell man what was good for him and when It was good for , him. Eat as a cow, a horse, a bird, a squirrel, a rat eats?that is, when you're hungry. Eat what you enjoy and enjoy what you eat and stop worrying over it and it will do you good. If you like oysters and fried oysters at 11 o'clock at j night?and that's tho time of all times that you most relish them?cat them at that time and defy dyspepsia and kick out of your mind all and every approach of anxiety and foreboding over the matter. You put anxiety into your stomach when you think anxiety. If you like ale with your oysters at the eleventh hour drink ! it. You needn't drink a barrel. You needn't necessarily go home or elsewhere to your wife and family, or somebody else ' and family, "blind, staving drunk." However, I don't wonder that people are sick nowadays. The various "health foods'' and patent medicines as advertised are quite enough as a fellow reads them on barns, walls and fences to make him think something's the matter with him whether there is or not, and if he peruses a mile or two of them attentively as ho walks b me* he w?l be qualified on get? ting to the bosom of his family (if there is a bosom there) to magnify and interpret a flea bite into embryo erysipelas, and if there's any doubt on tho subject he lias only to call a doctor in (especially a young ? doctor who is raising a beard along with a practice) to satisfy all doubt on the sub ject. Yes, imagination rules the world, as the First Napoleon reninrked to a lady, and it rules health or sickness according as you work it.?Prentice Mulford in San Francisco Chronicle. Mean Trick on a Shark. A Maine sailor played a mean trick on a shark one day not long ago. The tiger of the sea had been following the boat for several days and existing on the garbage thrown overboard, and tiie sailor decided to have some fun with him.

How foolish this Hounds, j Yet it is fearfully true. We are ter-1 rifieii ftt the approach of the cholera j and yellow fover, yet there is a dis- j ease constantly at our doors and in ; our houson far more dangerous and i destructive: Most people have in 1 their own Elomachs a poison, moro slow, but quite ae falnl as the germs of thoso maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without: warning in the times of great epi? demics. But it is a mercy that, if - we are watchful, we can tell when we 01*0 threatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling ; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change? able, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at ail; dullness and slug fifmlmc?s of the mind ? no ambition to study or work; moro or less head? ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat-1 j ed tongue; a sense of a load cn the j Btomach that no tiling removes; hot and dry akin at times: yellow tinge intho eyes; scanty and high-colored urixte: sour taste in the mouth, fre? quently attended by palpitation of the heart; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto? ration j poor nights'rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This diseaso has puzzled the physicians and still puz? zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet the most compli? cated find mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some? times as liver complaint, cud then again as malaria and even heart dis? ease. But its real nature is that of constipationanddysp6psia. It arises in the digestive organs and soon affects all the others throimh the corrupted and poisoned olood.
