THE SEW WAY OF FARMING. A Thoughtful - and Practical Address De ^f^ ?Veied Before the Meeting Street Alli? ance oy Mr. W. T. Walton. ./ From the Edgefield Advertiser. v While,we are striving, to exterminate line evils that grind tbaifanner into the *M$fa dust of poverty wesho?ld apt forget ?^t?-c?rrect- and "improve our- methods of r^v^irming as a strong means to better our ^finances. Among the evils to which the ^farmer has submitted in the past few years hone have been worse than his system of Our soil has' been robbed oi ?f&its.'Virgin fertility.- Skeletons -of hills, ^^roken^nd checkered with gnllies, star ^>vation ground.for.all plants, now remain v in many instances .as the* only utock in %,: trade thefarmer owns to to gain his liv ?v:Vug.from'. I would appeal to our people :>^as we movejbn not to- forget to remove ^T.-thia mote from their own eyes/ I. would like to see our own people become generally" "and thoroughly aroused to the advantages, the gains, de? prived from intensive farming. I would like to have them think of it, talk about is^ifc and. practice it. As I view, the subject "v?ifc is'a -broad one,' covering a reform of Q: our entire farming operations. That it is i ^ithe.only profitable system of farming at t , the'present is proved by the fiact that tV/.those .farmers who have adopted the ' - -intensive system of; farming are making a good living, and I think I can say that ?;:^'ey ar> about the only farmers who are ^making: a good living. "The intensive system is a business eys :?i^j?m. To succeed at it the farmer must ?;v"Bpt:adopt a few reforms and retain most %;?fold methods followed under old g^ffo^Bystem" .plan. It is not the man who. has'his farm spread over a vast area , of gully-washed hills who makes money by farming. It is not the man who fills ^id^k lot every Bpring with new mules fought 'from the- West, destined to be : r'staivedj.oufc, ridden and abused by care-' pi^leas tenants. It is not the man who has ? - his ferm dotted with tenant houses filled i^with; worthless tenants, spending one ||ipj'alf. of their lame inj idleness, pilfering ; .V .the country, breaking the laws and die ^pturbiug what good labor there may be in S^heV, country. It is not the man who ' gives up his farm to careless and ||||hbughtle33 tenants to manage. This iB l^apt intensive 'farming; it is nob business ^Stoning.. We will never prosper with [ v;';:such methods. great many get the idea that intensive P : farming consists only in manuring lands j^^eavUy, with -bought manure. This may be a necessity which is only one part of iv';:the system. Intensive farming means :..' pushing everything for all it is worth on |:-' the- form. The farmer must study his field as the lawyer studies his case. He fjmiat iwatch his crops and business as the Hc 'physiciau watches his patient. He mus t work and vstick to his business as the .'ymerchant sticks to his counter. If this l^plaii were adopted'by. oar farmers in ?; their, business, farming would yield large ^returas ? two blades of grass would grow p^hewn?ne grows now. ^^Chea farmers I appeal to you to stop >?^ld wr.ys and remodel your whole busi? ness system; think more, work harder, and stick closer to farming. But some ^saya "we are doing as our forefathers did , "and they lived." They forget that cir x ,cumsten(?S^a'Ye?changed, their lauds ?have changed.; Others say "we are doing \ 'as "well as"- any one else, we make as ? much as our neighbor. We have not got I -the money to do any fancy farming. We are not able to change now. We will .- drag On as we are." This is a mistake - and is about equal to the merchant's say I ing he has noHime to brush his counter, - ?and arrange his goods tastefully. "We . .don't believe these big tales about inten : sive farming. We don't believe the land . will make it." I fear you do not believe that Mr. Drake made 255 bushels of corn ?eh one acre^last year. Think of this. ' The work to .make; this number of bush .".-els on one acre was little more than the work, many of you expend to make five bushels per acre. Many of you do not ;-;believe that four bales of cotton have ^been made on one acre with a small per M cent, more labor than you expend on one %: acre to- make 500 pounds of seed cotton. |>;V .This has.been done on laud that was I'- once as poor as yours. It was done by ^men;-ffho:-U8ed every thought, manner, jfland labor?by men who have no better lances than you have. The majority of us can maker one acre produce what four ^acreia now produce. Until we do this we . will not prosper. When we look around p U3 we see the Bame grade of land making *.% wide difference in yielding crops. It ;;is because the farmer whose lands make ?-. the superior yield spends more time in ?^winter, making manure,, bringing up )r spots in his field, working topre JSvent his lands from washing, filling in I, places where washes haye been made, [' and selecting lands most suitable to grow [..certain crops. It is because he uses his I best skill in preparing these lands, and uses /his- undivided energy, push, and ?labor.- in working the crops planted ; thereon, having invested beforehand in the best farming tools that he can use to ^economize labor. gjs|If will mention Borne indispensable requisites to profitable farming, which -theintensive plan includes. First, you vjnest manure and build up your lauds in |evezy way possible. g Second, you must have good stock suit liable to pull plough deep and fast. .. Third, you must provide your farms I/with the best tools to do good and rapid .wort. -' Fourth, you must secure good bands to correspond with land, stock and tools. Fifth, you must watch and attend to your farm, giving it all your thought and time. Some of. our farmers say our labor is too poor to embark in intensive farming, and it cannot be improved. You can do lonly so much with it, and no more. La or is like land?it is pretty much what ou make it. To manage it successfully |<you should not allow any to remain on your farm which you cannot control. You should pay your labor well, and see -that it earntf" what you pay, or dispense [ with it. See to it that your laborers are ^law-abiding subjects, and also that they Brieceive the protection of the law. By so Rdoing labor can be improved to the t?ndard .of intensive farming. Such bor must be the salvation of ourfar . era. ? f. lam not theorizing on intensive farm XwMSBi speak from experience, having ed under the old "no system" plan S, the intensive plan both. You all iow the farm I cultivate. You knew it and its reputation for producing crops afore I began in a moderate degree to :m it under the intensive plan. By plan I have increased the yield of oats per acre from six to forty and fifty bushels, corn from five bushels per acre up to thirty-five. The samo land which was yielding one bale of cotton to ten acres when I began working it I brought up to one bale per acre in one year. I was thoroughly satisfied that I must adopt the intensive plan after a test with two acres planted in cotton under the "following management: On the two acres I broadcasted sixty bushels of cotton seed in the winter, turning* them under and subsoiling the land twelve inches deep. In the spring, after ploughing and pulverizing the land, I applied one ton of a compound guano. The itemized cost of cultivation, manure and gathering the cotton was eighty dol? lars. I gathered from the two acres six? teen hundred pounds of lint, which I sold for one hundred and sixty dollars. Each acre netted me forty dollars. This was the proof that convinced me and should convince any one. My advice to you is work less poor land, manure and improve your lands, hire less unprofitable labor, give more thought to your farms, and you will be in a good way towards a prosperous refor? mation. This must accompany the other reforms we are trying to work if the Al? liance would be triumphant. TO BLOW UP THE NORTH POLE. It Would Make the Arctic Region Habltn table. Did nature intend the Arctic Sea to bo open and the climate moderate ? And is it possible to do by means of dynamite what nature has unaccountably omitted to do ? These points are discussed in a pamphlet by Mr. H. A. JET. Dunsford, C. E., which has just been published. We need not suppose for a moment, writes Mr. Dunsford, how matters would stand if the ice cap were removed from the north pole. The two warm streams would in that case flow in exactly the same course that they now take, but instead of becoming chilled, as is the case at present, would flow past the pole and southward as warm streams still. They would effectually keep the ice from reforming, and do away with the exces? sive cold of the Arctic regions altogether. Natureis, in fact, working toward that end, for the climate of the northern part of the northern hemisphere has been steadily ameliorating ever since the commencement of the historic period. In the time of the Roman Republic the rivers in Gaul used to freeze over in winter, and Eoman writers represent Germany as a land of frozen morasses. Compare the climate at present enjoyed by those countries with this description, and it will be at once apparent how great a change in climate must have gradually taken place. The records of the Hud? son's Bay Company also show that the winter on the shores of Hudson's Bay has grown shorter at the rate of one day in ten years, the season during which the sea is open for navigation being now twenty days longer than it was 200 years ago. About the years 1815-1818 the ice barrier on the east coast of Greenland began to break up, as was noted at the time by Sir John Barrow, who regarded it as one of the most important, though least noticed, events in the history of the world! All this is evidence that the ice barrier is being steadily driven further north and will eventually leave a channel by which the Japan current can flow unchecked through the Polar Sea :7rom Behring's Straits to the Atlantic, in ' which case the existence of the remainder of the ice cap will be but of short dura? tion, for if the warm currents can actually reach the ice they will soon solve the question without human assistance. At present they do not reach it; for the ice cap blocking the way no outlet for them (the warm currents being, of course, surface water,) and their course is arrested long before they come near it by a wide belt of cold water, for which there is no outlet except that the coldest part of iE escapes by flowing under the ice to form the cold streams. As for the proposition that we can open the sea, we must remember that the ice is not of great thickness, that we have now powerful explosives that are perfect? ly effective when frozen, and that every mass of ice detached on the course of a stream flowing southward will float away of itself. I do not, of course, mean to imply that it will be easy, but that it is within our power to make a channel wide I enough for a part of a warm stream to pass without losing all its heat on the way. We may notice also that explor? ers have reported open sea to the north of Greenland, and that the accounts that they have given us are circumstantial and cannot well be doubted. The main barrier with which we shall have to deal will be the belt of ice north and north? west of Greenland. Of course, until it is completed, the channel will freeze over the removal of the ice thus formed will be so serious a difficulty as might be expect? ed. The ice being caused merely by the freezing of the channel will be smooth, not hummocky, and after the first snow? fall can be traversed easily by Bledges or > dog trains, so that surface or submerged mines can be laid, enabling the ice over any desired length of section to be broken up instantaneously so soon as the winter is over. The advantages to be gained by the opening of the sea and the amelioration of the climate can scarcely be overesti? mated.

Not How to Run the Water off, But How to Keep It on the Land. Dr. Wm. M. Walker, of Yorkville, iBa good farmer. He works hard, observes closely, and being of a very inquiring turn of mind, continues to progress as he grows older. For the paBt two years the doctor has been developing a pet origi? nal theory as to a practical and econom? ical method of - terracing, and having perfected his plans to that point where they may safely be called a success, a few days ago he invited a reporter of the Enquire}' to go out and Bee what he is doing. His farm is just witbin the in? corporate limits of the town, not more than fifteen minutes' walk from' tbe En? quirer office, and in company with the doctor, the reporter has taken occasion to accept the invitation. Dr. Walker's farm, like the larger por? tion of tbe lands in this section is decid? edly rolling, and of a character requiring tbe most judicious drainage for its con? tinued preservation. And it is this problem of drainage, which has so long puzzled tbe more advanced agricultur ists, that the doctor thinks be has solved. On the road to tbe farm, Dr. Walker remarked: "When I was boy, nearly all the creeks in the country were full of deep holes. Take Allison creek, up here. It used to be full of fish?good big fish? and every few hundred yards was a great hole that would swim a horse. But now you might hunt from source to mouth without finding more than one or two placeB you can't wado. Now, of course, there is a reason for this, and if you will just think about it for a moment you will see it. It is just this: The timber has been cut away; the lands have been put under cultivation, and whenever a rain comes, large quantities of loose dirt are washed right into tbe creek. There is too much to be carried off with tbe current, and consequently it just settles to the bottom of the stream all along, filling up the holes, clogging tbe channel with sand and utterly defeating the pur? pose for which nature intended the creek. "It is an alarming fact that our bottom lands are rapidly becoming worthless. Scarcely any of them will average a crop every other year, and the present outlook is that before a great while longer they will be fit only for pasturage. "Now this.was not the case before the timber and undergrowth were cut away. Then, when a big rain fell, the leaves and undergrowth absorbed a large quan? tity of the water, and, acting as a filter, collected most of the dirt and sand. In this way the creeks were kept clean. "But the lands have to be cultivated, and before they are cultivated they have to be cleared?that's plain. So the ques? tion arises, 'What are you going to do about it?' The only practical answer given by most people is ditch; but that won't do. I've been watching the matter all my life, and I have never Been that remedy prove entirely successful yet. Some people understand ditching better than others, and can use this knowledge to corresponding greater advantage in holding lands; but whenever it rains, just notice those muddy red steams rush? ing toward the creek, through :nd across ditches, like a mill sluice. Thay hold in solution your guauo, your stable manure, and in fact, a large proportion of the best elements of your soil. Every rain leach out more or less of your fertility, and that matter which goes to color the water is usually the very cream." "From that, it would seem, Doctor, that you don't want the water to run off all all?" "That's it. That's it. That's the whole secret. You don't want one drop more water to run off your hill-sides than you can help. You want to keep it standing right where it falls until it is absorbed in the ground, and that is just what I am going to Bhow you how to do?" By this time we had arrived at a long, sloping hill, falling about three feet in twenty-five yards. "Now, see here. I have just com? menced on this field this year. You see how the land lies and the way I am going about terracing it. The idea is to build dams, so to speak, one to every three feet of fall. If the land falls three feet in fifty yards, then you want them about every fifty yards apart. They should be thrown up as near on a level as possible, so the water can't find low places to break over. And you will observe this doesn't cost any more, or require any more labor than to cut ditches. AU I have had to do here, was to run three or four furrows and throw the dirt on the upper side. "Now, what water falls on this side of yonder terrace runs down to this one and is held here. They are close enough together, and each terrace having to hold only such water as falls within a limited space, there is no possibility of breaking over. "That is the theory of the thing,"con tinued the doctor. "Now, come over here further and let me show you the practice." In another part of the farm we came to another series of embankments. They were from two to three feet high and be? coming covered with a species of blue grass. Explained the doctor: "I have been working on these for over two years now, and you see what has been done. The idea is to keep on building the embankment up a little every year until you get it as high as desired. But just observe the practical results. You notice the surface of the earth on the upper side of this embank? ment has already been raised fully twelve incher higher than the lower side. And this accumulated soil is of the very richest. Why, just look at those cotton stalks. They tell the whole story, get* ing smaller as they get further away from this bank. But where would that extra foot of soil be if it hadn't been for that terrace ? It makes me regretful to think about it. I feel as if I had been standing idly by, year after year, and letting hundreds of dollars slip through my fingers and not able to help myself, when if I had just thought of this simple plan ten years ago, my whole farm would now be a garden. Ye3, sir; when you have your land fixed in that shape, you can rest content that all the manure that is not used in the nourishment of this year's crop, will be here when you want it next year. "Were you ever in the lower part of the State, down below Columbia, and see those rich lands on the Congaree ? The soil is of almost indefinite depth, and just as fertile aa an asparagus bed. Do you know how it came so ? We poor fellows up here furnish the manure. We put it on our lands. It is leached out by 'the rains, and deposited down there as sedi? ment from the overflows But if all the lands between here and Columbia were fixed like mine are now, the biggest rain that comes along would scarcely besuffi? cient to raise the river out of its banks. And instead of our lands getting poorer and poorer, each succeeding year would find them richer and leveler. "Yes, sir ,* I am satisfied that here is the solution of the whole drainage prob? lem. .

The number of letters sent through the mails that fail to reach their destina? tion on account of imperfect address is enormous, and reveals an amazing amount of ignorance and carelessness on the part of the senders. According to a report of the postmaster general, during the year 1887 there were 377,997 misdirected let? ters received; 128,732 were held for want of postage; 19,110 which had been mail? ed without any address at all; 21,868 letters containing drafts, checks, notes} were received, with the enormouB aggre? gate value of their iuclo3ures of over $7,000,000 which were restored to their owners.
