As a large majority of your patrons :arebrawny handed planters, whose labors grease tbe wheels of commerce and fur? nish bread for the world, I am sure yon will allow one of the humble thousands of our yeomanry who for long years bas studied and experimented with corn, to mate a suggestion. . Numerous corn growers have never stopped long enough to think of one variety of com being better than anoth? er, while variety is not .more palpable .in any .other plant. Just think of the .clamor about the best cabbage, the best -grape, the^best apple, the best strawberry, and - everything else.. There is as much difference in varieties of corn as we find in an orchard or apple trees, where variety has been intended. Lot a fanner look over his heap of corn, fresh from the hands of the buskers, and he will see hundreds of different patterns- of ears; some with, straight rows of grains, some with serpentine or winding, some with deep grains and small cob, some with short grains and large cob, Borne ears with tough and spongy finish to the grains, and.others with a neat, rounded, flinty, finish: the superior ends of ears nearly all finished abruptly, and-.with more or less of . decay. All these varie? ties .of- corn were grown from the same soil. Then whence this conglomeration ? Simply and scientifically speaking there is not a single incomplicated strain or variety in the entire heap of corn. The germ, like all vegetables will do, having intermixed so;variously, by promiscuous .planting,- the neatest ear you can select is about equal (as to stock) to a "Winter John" under the general head of apple. The only remedy is to select the beat samples and grow them remote from any other, and improve them. A quick? er plan to get a start would be to procure a pouud or two of pure stock and plant a small lot* over four hundred feet from any other growing corn,, and.the next season no other variety need be planted. The imperfections and diverse peculiari? ties of a crop of corn are not attributable to the season, soil or irregularity of cul? tivation, but solely to the admixture of the germs with deteriorated varieties. An ordinary grain. farmer by planting trained, unmixed seed can make one-, fourth more,, and his crop will be one third to one-half better. t J. W. Vandiver. -Weaverville, N. 0. Nnts Worth Cracking, If the cotton crop of 1889 is as large as that of 1888, 49,090,000 yards of bagging will bo required to wrap the crop. ' If.the cotton is wrapped in jute $4, 900,000 will pass out of tbe planters' hands.' If tlbe cotton is wrapped : in cotton bagging $4,900,000 will remain inside the lines of the cotton States to be added to the circulating medium. ? The making of 49,000,000 yards of cotton' bagging will consume 100,000 bales of cotton, which- decreases the number of bales for market and enhan? ces-the value of the remainder one fourth per pound, making the gain to the plan? ter $8,565,000. The ' J. E. Adams factory can pot a bale of cotton into its spinning room for $6.77 less than it can be laid down in LpwellJMass. If the cotton was spun in tbe South $47,390,000 would be saved in freight charges, etc. \ . ; . A better day is coming, for in 1887 the product of the Southern cotton mills was ' $48,000,000 against $1,000,000 in 1880. It is a fact worthy of strong emphasis (hat cotton mills are increasing more rap idly in the South than anywhere else. Common sense will, at no distant day, compel the spinning of raw material where it can be done the cheapest. The way. to have oheap goods is to make them at the least expense. Tbe cotton of 1889, if sold as hereto? fore, will give the planters $300,000,000; if wholly, manufactured in the South the great Bum of $1,000,000;000. The difference in the price of the raw material and that of the manufactured ar? ticle is $700,000,000 in favor of the South. No other country in the world could have existed as long as the South has] Jn der such a system of drainage. Let the day be hastened when the farmers of .these United State* will receive just profits* for their prodoctt.?J. R. McLend?n, in Old Homestead. / tfan. Karlj's Negro Joe. "One of the gr latest instances of devo? tion that I ever saw," said an old Virgin? ian, "outside ofthat of a dog for bis mas ter is that shown by 'Early's nigger Joe.' Joe is an old negro, about 70 years of age, was born a slave in Gen. Jubal Early's family, brought up with 'Jube,' became his body servant, served all through, the war with him, as watchful of his master as a mother of her babe. After the war Joe was informed that be was free, 'I'se free V said Joe, with a look of cfemtempt. Tse not free. I belongs to Mas' Jube till I dies.'" Early is very fond of his servant, and has told every shopkeeper in Lyncbburg to let Joe have anything he wants and send the bill to him. Joe follows his master around on certain occasions like a dog. When Early lets the mountain dew of old Virginny get the better of him, Joe will say: "Mass* Jube, you mu?' come home." "Why, you-nigger, who are you talking to ? Who is boss, anyway ?" "Well, Mass' Jube, when you's sober you's boss, but when you's drunk I'se boss." "Well, Joe, you're right. When I'm drunk you're boss." And Early will resign himself to the faithful old darkey's care.?St. Louis Re? publican. A Sleeping Preacher, There is a negro on Mr. Hilry Bouk night's place, in Norrie Township, who after going to bed at night enters into a Bleep, or trance, and preaches a sermon. And this is on every night occurrence. He is quite illiterate, but with his eyes closed takes a text which, by reference to tbe Bible, is found to be correct in chapter, verse and wording. When in this state he is entirely oblivious of any and everything that may be going on around him, and a physician who has examined him says his arm could be taken off when these spells are on him and he would not know it. . The story an told to us is certainly a remarkable one, and if tho negro is not a very sharp fraud the case is worthy of scientific in? vestigation.

I Legislature has just passed an act of a very novel description. The act, which has now the force of Jaw, provides that a bounty of 100 acres of land shall hereaf? ter be granted to every bead of a family of twelve living legitimate children. Col. Rhodes, the Minister of Agriculture, who is one of the few Englishmen in the Legislature, in proposing the measure said the Quebec government was only continuing an idea inaugurated by Louis XIVs great Minister, Calbert, who. granted 300 lives annually to the father of every family of ten children, and 400 lives to every father of twelve children, besides 20 lives to each youth marrying at 20 and the same to every girl married at 16. The intention of the bill was to attach the people to their native country, and this the Commissioner of Agriculture claimed could best be attained by increas? ing the family circle and creating a fam? ily patrimony. Premier Mercier, the head of tbe gov? ernment, who supported the measure, at? tributed the marvelous growth of tbe French race in America to their religious observance of marriage as a sacred rite, and declares that the proposed law was intended as a modest tribute to their virtues. The act was passed unanimous? ly by the Legislature. Curious,io relate, the first one to avail himself of it* pro? visions was the Speaker pro tern of the Legislature, F. X. Lemieux, who is the father of twelve hearty children. I Families of twelve children are a very common event in Quebec, and eighteen to twenty children is not a surprising number in a.French Canadian family. ? A Gold-Lined Pike. Eldora, Iowa, January 28?What will always be regarded at a remarkable and seemingly impossible thing has de? veloped at this place. John Webster and a number of companions went down tbe Iowa River for a few daya' fishing. They cut holes in the ice, and with long spears impaled the fish na tbey came up to breathe. One magnificent pike, of the wall eyed variety, was speared by Web? ster, and it ?ras decided to broil id for dinner. . Upon cutting it open tbe sur prise of the fishermen was intense when a good sized pocket nook was found with*, in .the fish. Do the book was found $65 in gold, $15 in silver, $25 in greenbacks, $10,000 in bonds, and a certificate of deposit for $25 on a bank at Johnstown, Penn., lately devastated by flood. A piece of paper was also found, on which was written a statement that the owner of the book and contents was John J. Jones, of Johnstown, Pa. There is no doubt that the fish was in the Cooemaugh on the fatal night of the flood and swallowed the book as it fell from the pocket of Mr. Jones, who, it is supposed, perished. Tbe fish then wind? ed its way down tbe Conemaugh into the Alleghany, and ' thence into the Ohio River, down tbe Ohio into the Mississippi, and thence up-tba Father of Waters into the Iowa Rivor, where it was unally caught The fact3 are vouched for by reputable parties. The Root of all Evil. In tbe rush and whirl of life in the cities, it seema as if tbe old, Blow way of building up a comfortable fortune would be forgotten. But, though everything else changes, human nature remains about the same, says tbe Country Gentle? man: Radical differences of disposition and habit will never be wiped out. How? ever severely we may be shaken up together, we shall never be all alike. Forethought and care and responsibility will.still govern some natures, be their capacity more or less developed; in others, self-assertion, sctlf-indulgencoj immediate enjoyment will be the chief objects, eveu when many admirable ac? quirements are at their command. No one who has any experience can doubt that money is one of the great practical forces of all organized society. The jpoor' boy who resolves to "make money" is not necessarily mercenary in his spirits or low in his aims. To gain a fool hold by the ownership of property is simply one step on the road to success. That gained, he has gained a great lever. Every energetic, aspiring American boy may rightly and naturally look forward to tbe accumulation of property. But to wish for money, to ?eck it, or to use it in a selfish, base spirit, to make it in itself the first and most important object of life, is contemptible and degraded man? hood. Think about making money then; think about it earnestly and with a fixed determination to do it; but think quite as seriously of other and higher things to be done.?Boston Herald, What Dreams Mean. Science, no doubt, may have dispelled such old wives' fables as that to dream of a marriage signified death, or to dream of a cat meant to meet a foe, but it has also added mysteries and terrors of its own to the subject. One learned man has actually tried to systematize the sub- j tie premonitions of dreams, with the view of making them more available for use and guidance, though he simply adds to the maze of mystification which seems destined to forever surround them.. However, here are some of his oracular explanations, which may be taken for what they are worth, which ra?y be much or little according to individual estimate. They appear to be quite sensible, however, in some respects. "Lively dreams are in general a sign of tbe excitement of nervous action. "Soft dreams are n sign of Blight irri? tation of the head, often in nervous fevers announcing the approach of a favorable crisis. "Frightful dreams are a sign of deter? mination of blood to the head. "Dreams about blood and red objects are signs of inflammatory conditions. "Dreams of disordered forms are fre? quently a sign of obstructions and disease of tbe liver. "Dreams in which the patient imag? ines torture or injury of any limb indi? cates disease of that limb. "Dreams about death often precede apoplexy, which is connected with de? termination of blood to the head."?Bos? ton Herald. ? A Maine contemporary tells of a merchant in Augusta who examines every package left in his store, whether be has any business to or not. Awhile ago an acquaintance, knowing this fail? ing, left a paper bag of hornets in the merchant's store, to be, "kept safely until called for." The merchant explored as usual, with results that may b?s easily A Grand Work for the Alliance* One of the best aims of the Alliance, the noblest aim, is to get men to pay their debts, to teach them to be honest. No Alliance nan is true to his obligations who fails in this'respect. Let this one purpose be accomplished; let the fctand ard of society be bo raised that any man who defrauds his neighbor will be ostra? cised, and prices will go down. We be* lieve the Alliance the greatest boon yet for the farmer and laborer, and if this present year's work will show that no Alliance man will swindle 1m neighbor or creditor?or, if he does so, that the Alliance will at once purge themselves of him?credit, honest credit without liens, trusting to a man's word of honor, will be the order of tbe day, and love, harmo? ny and prosperity will prevail. This is the end we desire to s?e accomplished, and we believe this i?ml will be accom? plished.?Manning Time*. Garden Enemies. Iu speaking of the forces of plant life, Tick's Magazine for May says the cabbage is one of the most important vegetables, and its insect enemies are numerous and destructive. Tbe fol? lowing are probably the most preva? lent and mischievous of them. Cut? worms, or larv? of Beveral species of insects, are often very troublesome when cabbage plants aro set out. They work at night, and eat through the stem of the plants at the surface of the ground. Prof. Riley has lured these creatures to their death, and it can be done every time. Tho method is to bait with poisoned leaves, laying them over the surface of the soil about ten or fifteen feet apart, covering the whole plat or field a few days before planting. The leaves to be employed are those of cabbage, turnip, lettuce or clover; a tablespoonful of Paris green is mixed with a pail of water and kept well stirred. In these the leaves are dipped and then distributed over the ground; or the leaves can be moistened aud then dusted with Paris green mixed with flour, in the propor? tion of one part of the poison to twenty of flour. Two such applica? tions, three or four days apart, will clear the field of cut-wormB. The common green worm that feeds on the leaves of the growing cabbage plants can' be easily destroyed, and at little cost," by the use of bubah, or Persian insect powder, or a particular preparation of it which is sold in the trade under the name of insect exter? minator. This is applied in the dry form, blown on with a bellows adapted to the purpose. The cabbage fly, which deposits its egg on the stems of the young cab? bage plants, is often very troublesome. The maggots, when hatched out, work into and downward through the stem or groove along the bark, until they reach the root, upon -which they feed, when the plant dies. 'One of the best remedies proposed is to scatter slacked lime, ashes or coal dust around the stem of each plant, leaving a few plants here and there through the field unprotected, in order that the flies may visit them and lay their eggs. These plants the flies will seek out and leave the others untouched. The plants that have been visited will soon show the effects of the insects, and can then be pulled up and burned. The squash-bug and the striped bug that injure the leaves of cucumber and melon vines can both he kept from doing injury by tbe application of insect poison, or insect extermina? tor, to the leaves of the plants; it can be dusted on or be sprinkled on, mixed in water. The squash root borer is destroyed with saltpetre, an ounce to a gallon of water. Pour the solution on the soil about the plants soon after the young plants have come up, and re? peat the operation two or three times after intervals of four or five days. This is a sure preventive. Some make the application only when the plant shows signs by wilting- of beiDg attacked; the remedy is usually ef? fective when thus employed, but it is better to use it in advance. Turning now to the orchard and fruit garden, we -may mention the fact, probably known to most of our readers, but which needs to be re? peated and re-repeated until there is something like general practical at? tention given it?that the codling moth, the pest of the apple orchard? can be successfully destroyed by syr? inging the trees with Paris green and water soon after the blossoms have fallen and when the little apples, newly formed, are held erect by their fruit stems, calyx end up. The moth lays its eggs in the calyx cavity, be-' ginning even before the flower petals have fallen; the larvae soon hatch out and begin to cut their way in the apple. One application of the poison? ous mixture is usually sufficient if given very soon after tHfe blossoms fall. One pound of Paris green to fifty gallons of water is the proper proportion. The powder will mix better with the water if first wet up and stirred into a smooth paste. The liquid can be applied by means of a force pump made for this purpose. Public opinion should shape itself to regard as a misdemeanor the neglect to destroy codling moth in this man? ner by any orchardist, or by any one having apple trees in his garden. The apple aphis can be destroyed by kerosene oil made into an emulsion and mixed with water, the liquid thrown on in a fine spray with a force pump. The material and implements should be ready beforehand, for this insect comes like a thief in the night, only not singly, but in myriads. ?A young lady sent in a poem entitled, "I Cannot Make Him Smile," to a news? paper.

Fort Valley, Ga., January 30.?The fruit men of this section Are gloomy over the fruit crop prospects. It is generally conceded by most of the beat posted fruit growers that the unusually warm winter has caused the buds on the trees to swell to such an extent that the trees are sure to bloom before March, and even if they have no m?re frost, the cold winds of that month will blight the fruit to such an rxtpnfc that the crop will be a failure. Yet there are some large growers who look on the bright Bide of things and say the crop is going to be enormous, or equally as large as it was last year. Many pear trees and a few peach trees are blooming, which/nearly every one say, is a sure sign that tbe fruit crop frill be a failure. ?
