Corn.
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.

farmers of .these United State* will receive

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?

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. We believe be hails from
Fairfield or Sumter.?Johnston Monitor.

Encouraging Matrimony,
. <?
Montreal, Jan. 26.?The Quebec. 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

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.

Sad Ending of a Romantic Marriage.
Charlotte, N. C, Feb. 3 ?Tbero haB
been a ead ending of the romantic mar?
riage at Henderson some weeks ago of
O.E. Day, a yonng man from Philadel?
phia, who advertised for a wife. A
young lady of Mississippi answered the
advertisement and by agreement they
met at Henderson and were married.
One week after his marriage he forged
the name of a prominent Henderson
merchant to an order. He wan arrested,
tried, convicted and sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary last Saturday.
He is a brazen fellow and has lots of
cheek. His bride has gone back to her
Mississippi home with a broken heart,
and no doubt a wiser girl.
Tho Frnit Prospects.
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.
? The firet apple tree planted in Ohio,
they say, can be seen alive and' vigorous
on Jerome Vincent's farm at Marietta.
It was planted in 1789.

late millionaire, Marshall O. Roberts.
He is tbe youngest millionaire in town.
? The hardest blow received by the
Jute Trust was delivered by tbe farmers
of Georgia. According to the report of
the State agricultural department, over
one-half of the last cotton crop in that
State was wrapped in cotton bagging.
The Mobile Register says: "Action like
this will do farmers more good than can
be derived from any amount of conven?
tions and platforms."
? In the western part of North Caro?
lina is what has long been known as tbe
haunted spring. While tbe singular
phenomenon may possibly at some time
be explained, it has up to this time baffled
tbe most skeptical. The spring comes
from underneath a huge rock and fre?
quently tempts the thirsty traveller to
dismount. Nothing peculiar is noticed
until a stooping posture is taken over the
spring for the purpose of drinking. Then
a most frightful face appear* in tbe bottom,
and as the person's face approaches the
surface of tbe water this spectre face, with
moat horrid grimaces, rises to meet it.

? It is reported on what seems to be
good authority that tbe Prince of Wales
contemplates a visit to this country in the
spri?g. He will be accompanied by the
Princess and probably bis second son.
The royal physicians have for some time
past been advising the Princess to
take a sea voyage for the benefit of her
general health, and now that she has suf?
fered so severely from tbe influenza, the
recommendation has been urgently re
newed. The^ Prince has been considering
the Atlantic remedy for some time in
connection with his own recent ailments.
Thejourney will be confined to New York
State and Canada, as the time is limited.
The royal party will travel incognito.
