How much cotton or corn can be raised on an acre of land? That is a question that gives the average farmer but little concern. As a rule, he fig ures that land is cheap, and the quan tity of produce that can be raised on an aore is a small matter. Rather than increase the productiveness of an acre, he prefers to increase the num ber of acres. That this, however, is a losing game, all of the more advanced farmers are now fully satisfied, and probably no man in this county or even in the State, has made more Lcadway in this direction than Major A. H. White, of Rock Hill. A representative of The Enquirer went to see Major White recently for the express purpose of getting some reliable information on this interesting subject. The major was at home. It developed that this very matter is the hobby of his life, and during a pleas ant drive over a well arranged farm, that was at the time being carefully prepared for various crops, the news paper man was treated to some pearls of experience that are well worth the careful study of all farmers who may not have given the subjects dis cussed the same amount of study on their own responsibility. "What was the most profitable crop you ever raised, major?" was one of the questions asked. "An oat crop, in 1884," was the unhesitating reply. "It was on afield of sixteen acres. I followed an oat crop in 1882 with peas. In 1883 I planted cotton, and at the last plow ing of the cotton, during the second week in August, I sowed oats. On the sixteen acres I made 1,012 bushels of oats, for which I received 75 cents a bushel, and it was all profit. I sold one-half of the straw for enough to pay all expenses. Exclusive of the other half of the straw, which was clear, my profits amounted to $47.23 an acre. That was about the most profitable crop I ever made." "Now, I would like you to tell me about your big cotton crop of 1894." "That is rather an old story. It has already been printed once or twice. The crop was twenty-two bales on twelve acres. The land was in good fix to start with. In fact it is my rule to see to it that my land is in better fix when a crop comes off than when the crop went on. That year, the only fertilizer I used was three two-horse loads of stable manure to the acre. The bales averaged 460 pounds, and I sold the cotton some at 61 and some at 9 cents. A careful calculation of all expenses, exclusive of interest on land, stock, tools, etc., developed that the cost of the crop will not exceed 2\ cents a pound. I made no estimate, of course, as to the value of the fertilizers in the soil when I commenced, but as is my in variable rule, I estimated the value of the seed planted at 50 cents a bushel." "Isn't 50 cents a bushel rather high for cotton seed?" "That is what mine are worth, and if I can't get it I don't sell them." "You must have a fine variety of seed. What is it?" "I call my seed 'White's Improved,' and I think they are as fine as any other variety known. I have been working on them for more than a dozen years. I make it a rule to go out into the cotton field every fall, when the crop is at its very best, select with the greatest care and pick enough cot ton to yield two bushels of seed. These I always plant on a separate acre, and the next year select from it. I started originally with what was known as Thomas seed, but they are now very muoh improved." In answer to another question on the same line, Major White said that he did the same thing with corn. He has two varieties, one white and the other yellow. The white variety is from an ear that was sent to him by a friend in 1877. He has been improv ing it every year. It is his custom to select the top ear from stalks hav ing two good, healthy ears, plant the select corn on a -separate acre, and then'plant the main crop from seed off that acre. It has been improved to such a point that 100 pounds on the cob will net 90 pounds of shelled corn and the grain averages 63 pounds to the bushel, struck measure. The standard weight of a bushel, it will be remembered, is 56 pounds. The next inquiry of Major White was intended to bring out his views with regard to fertilizers. "I believe in commercial fertilizers," said Major White, unhesitatingly, "and I believe that the high est priced O'0ods are the cheapest; but my ex perience in this direction is not worth a great deal. I fertilize mostly with stable manure and cotton seed. Cot ton seed is always a good investment. No matter how much you use, you will find it profitable; but you can't tell exactly how much they are worth. It takes something like three years before you can get all there is in them, though they will pay even the first year. However, with me, stable ma nure ranks ahead of anything else. I buy all I can get at $2 a load, about a ton to the load. It will do for any kind of a crop and invariably makes the land better. In my opinion it is the very best fertilizer known, as well as the cheapest. Like cotton seed, it is complete in itself, and when you mix the two, you have a very near approach to perfection." 1 "Now, major, just one more ques-' tion. In your opinion, how much cotton is it. possible to grow on an acre?" Major White grew still more inter ested in. the conversation. The sub ject was one to which he had evident ly given a great deal of careful thought, and the facts and figures were ready on the tip of his tongue. "That is a matter about which we can only speculate," he began. "No man can tell the possibilities of an acre. Take York county over, for in stance, and the average is about a third of a bale to the acre. My crop of 1894 was six times that. If it is possible to go six times over the aver age, why is it not possible to go twelve times? But take it this way: As much a? two pounds have teen made on a stalk. With the stalks three feet apart, you have room on an acre for ,900 6talks. A stalk two feet high is capable of carrying two pounds, and suppose each of the 4,900 stalks could be made to yield that much? Or take another way. It is generally as umed that a boll to the stalk means lOu pounds to the acre; two bolls, 200 pounds, and so on. I have raised talks that contained 160 bolls. How much will that be? No, I cannot tell ou as to the possibilities of an acre; but I can tell you this, I don't think that any of us have ever approached , and between what has been and hat can be done there ib room for some powerful big crops." Major White went o:i to say that the question presents a number of problems that he has as yet been un able to solve. While he has seen 160 bolls to the stalk, he has never seen such an average on any considerable number of stalks together, and whether one stalk necessarily ta^gsfrom others or all can bo made tq yield in tho same proportion, is a question that he cannot answer. The fact that there are also good and bad cotton years is also a matter that cannot be disputed, and no matter what the fertilization and cultivation, it is out of the ques tion to expect as good results in a "miss" as in a "hit" year. Although Major White is a man of large means and an enthusiastic farmer, let no one take up the idea that he farms for fun. He is thoroughly practical, and he recognizes that above all things else, the most important feature of any crop is the margin of clear profit. He works on the wage system alone, requiring his employees to obey his orders with strict precision, and in proportion to the amount of actual money invested in his opera tions realizes as much profitas is real ized by any other business man in the county. This fact is especially men tioned because so many farmers will be disposed to ignore the lesson that the major is teaching on account of the inequalities occasioned by the means at his disposal. It is true that this is an advantage; but in this case it seems that it is not an unmixed one. As he has been situated for years, Major v'hite is able to give only about one-third of his timo to farming, other business interests take up the balance of hi'' time. Having accomplished this under the circum stances, what could he do if he could give his entire attention to his farm? Farming in China. A Mongolian farmer has a small field of five or ten acres. Upon thi? he must support himself, his wives and chrildren and put something by for a rainy day. His estate is a sandy plain which slopes from one end to the other. His first step is to divide it into counterparts by raising low walls or partitions of clay. They are usual ly 1? feet thick and 2 feet high. Where it is difficult to get clay he constructs the wall of the stones he finds in the soil or of broken bricks tiles and stops up the crevices with clay or even mud. Any form of soil excepting sand is used in this manner. So far do they go that I have seen them gathering the ooze, bared by the low tide, to build the walls with. In each little compartment he builds a ditch in front of the lower wall, and at the corner of the compartment he lowers the wall somewhat for the water to flow from one compartment into the next adjoining. When it rains, the compartments fill, and the entire field looks like a lot of panes of glass ; the water soaks slowly into the soil and keeps the ground moist enough for agricultural and horticultural purposes for several months. Where the rain fall is but slight he digs a well at a point selected by an astrologer. This individual is a bankrupt or dissipated scholar or priest, who ha3 lost caste by reason of his infirmities and makes a living more or less precarious by astrology, fortune telling, selecting graves, finding subterranean water and similar superstitional occupations. He bears a striking resemblance to the soothsayers and witches of our own history. Like them, he employs a dividing rod and some arrangement in crystal which is supposed to be come cloudy when water is near. His charge for indicating the place where a well will be successful varies from 10 cents to 50cents, and if his client se cures an extra large supply he demands and receives a bonus of the same amount. These contrivances nine times out of ten do their business well. Some go to great depths. It was from these deep pits that France and ourselves first derived the idea of the artesian well. Water once reached, the farm labor starts to keep on forever. Some one of the family is always at the well, raising the precious fluid to the sur face. It runs by a little canal to the top compartment and thence trickles through the e:atire field. When men and women work at it, they use a large measure, which brings up about five gallons every time. When little children do the labor, a smaller measure, one that seldom exceeds a gallon, is utied instead. Oxen are sometimes employed, but engines, windmills and other labor saving con trivances are never seen. The most patient animal in the world, the human being, does nearly all the work. In Tong-anJ once ran- across a queer machine - for sending water over the terraces from these wells. This was a large wooden X, which was whirled around by a combiaation of wire and string, something after the fashion of a Chinese top. This was kept run ning all day long by being tied to the great toes of several Chinese women, who sat upon the grass knitting and nursing their babies at the same time. Chinese are large employers of stor age reservoirs. These are not made according to the rules of engineering, but of brute necessity. They are usually hollows which are walled up with earth excavated from their bot tom, or else marses or the the dry beds of marshes which are similarly en larged and confined, and in some cases small valleys in which a retaining wall has been thrown up across its mouth. The imperial law favors to the utmost the use of water for irrigation by the farmer and discountenances any inter ference b> middlemen or private capi tal. The streams, no matter whether navigable, the ponds and lakes are all government property and cannot be alienated. At the furthest, the pri vate individual can only lease the land beneath the water,*with the condition that the government can at any time enter in and take possession of the property upon paying him for any im provement he may have made. ? A lawyer in Ireland sent a letter to a Chicago mechanic, informing the latter that he was heir to an estate worth fifteen million dollars. In a postscript the lawyer asked for a fee of two hundred and fifty dollars, to investigate further. The mechanic directed the lawyer to sell the estate, and keep a million for his fee. ? French women often collect all the fruit stones that come in their way during the summer?cherry, plum, I peach and apricot stones. They are washed and boiled in clean water, dried in the sun, and put into chintz or printed linen bags. When hot ap plications are required for tooth or earache or rheumatic pains, one of these bags is made thoroughly hot in the oven and laid on the affected part. A bag of fruit stones, thus heated, is good for cold feet. The stones give a pleasant, spicy scent, and retain the caloric for a long time. ? The Gaylord Herald wound up a compliment to a young school ma'am with a good word about "the reputa tion for teaching she bears." The next day the school ma'am met the editor and chased him down the street with a blue umbrella, and every jump in the road she screamed that she had never taught a she bear in all her life. ?

Few American women have had th'?ir lives bo crowded with dramatic incidents as Mrs. Alexander Forsythe, of Chicago, sister of Gen. John Morgan, whose daring raid made him conspicu ous on tHO continents. For four years Mrs. Forsythe lived under the smoke of the cannon, being a soldier's wife who went through the entire war with her husband. Thrice wedded and thrice widow ,d, twice the mother of a posthumous child and again on the last day of the war left desolate with a tiny babe in her arms, her expedience as wife and mother, says the Chicago News, is almost un precedented. After the death of her first husbaud, Calvin MoClung, she married Gen. A. P. Hill, one of the most distinguished generals in the Confederate army, a man whose name was on the dying lips of Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. As a bride she went to the front with her hnsband and was actively interested in his company, the Invin cibles, l;!th Virginia, Among other things sho presented the company with a handsome silk flag, but during an engagement the color-bearer's arm was shot off, and the flag, gripped in the bloody hand, was captured by a Union soldier. Mrs. hill promptly made an other and it is now hanging in the White House at Richmond. Gen. Hill was killed the last day of the war at the fall of Petersburg. Gen. Lee made a charge and recovered his body, and a few moments after the general had parted from his wife he was brought back to her, shot through the heart, his wedding ring still on his finger and his cape covering his dead face. That night the army retreated in haste and Mrs. Hill was the last woman to pass the pontoon at Petersburg. It was an awful journey, for the roads were choked with the disorganized troops ; sometimes they were in the enemy's lines and again in their own, but all through that dreadful night Mrs. Hill sat in the ambulance by her dead husband's body, holding her baby and little daughter in her arms. She buried Gen. Hill at Gouchland, Va., laying him away in the uniform he wore when he fell. Afterward the body was lemoved to Hollywood, but a few years ago Mayor Ginter donated the spot in Richmond where Gen. Hill organized his first company, and his body was taken there and a splendid monument erected to his memory. His youngest daughter, Miss Lucy Lee Hill, the babe of the retreating army is now a beautiful woman and was one of the board of lady managers at the World's Fair from Kentucky. She is Gen. Lee's god-daughter, and his tears, fell on her baby face as he held her in his arms at the baptismal font. Some years after Gen. Hill's death Mrs. Hill married Dr. Alexander For sythe. Since his death she came to Chicago and now resides at 101 Pine street. She was a noted beauty in her youth aud her cordiality endears her to friends new and old. The home life of the Morgan family was singu larly happy, for there were six sons and six daughters to fill the hospitable home with merrymaking. Gen. Mor gan was the eldest child. He was passionately fond of children and Mrs. Forsythe says that on Sunday morn ings he used to take a quantity of bread and an immense bright tin pan full of molasses and gather all the plantation picaninnies on the lawn and let them "sop" the sweet stuff to their heart's content. In the winter the poor, both black and white, had the freedom of his great wood yard back of his factory. The betrayal and death of Gen. Morgan are never mentioned in the family circles, and the harrowing de tails were carefully withheld from the grief-stricken mother. The general was on his way to visit his wife, to whom he had not long been married. Worn with travel, he stopped for the night at a lonely farm house. The people were ardent Southern sympa thizers ana personal friends, but the daughter had a sweetheart in the Union army. After the family retired she stole out, saddled a horse and rode to the nearest camp with the startling news that Gen. Morgan was asleep at her mother's home. As the night was wild and stormy and his retreat obscure, Gen. Morgan felt perfectly secure and slept soundly until ? movement in the yard aroused him. He sprang out of bed and rushed out of the house in his night clothes. He was immediately surrounded and shot. Before his heart ceased beating his unclothed body was flung across a horse and taken to camp. On the way the country was aroused by the sol diers' exultant cries : "We have killed Morgan, the great Confederate rebel'!" It is a matter of history that from the girl who betrayed him to the men who shot him every one has suffered a violent death. Mrs. Forsythe's young est brother, Francis Key Morgan, named after his cousin, author of "The Star-Spargled Banner," inherited the fearless spirit. When 14 he climbed into the cupola of the old academy at Lexington and unfurled the Confeder ate flag. The city swarmed with Union soldiers and it would have gone hard for the lad had he not been spirited away in a closed carriage. About this time Gen. Morgan sent a trusty Irish boy with letters to his mother. His mmm mum -AND A LIFE SAVED By the Persistent Use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla "I was troubled for years with a sore on my knee, which several physicians, who treated me, called a cancer, assuring me that nothing could be done to save my life. As a last resort, I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after tak ing a number of bottles, the sore bpgan to disappear and my general health improve. I persisted in this treatment, until the sore was en tirely healed. Since then, I use Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in deed, it se?ms as though I could not keep house without it."?Mrs. S. A. Fields, Bloomfield, Ta.

How the States Have Grown,, The treasury department has just brought out its statistical abstract of the United States for 1895, a valuable book that is full of tables upo:i all sorts of subjects. Among the tables is oce that savors of ancient history, but a glance at it reveals some curious facts respecting the growth of the States that are worth a moment's attention. The first five States in population, according to the census of 1790, wore the following in the order named : Virginia, Pennsyl vania, North Carolina, Massachusetts and New York. In 1800 New York went to third place, North Carolina to fourth and Massachusetts to fifth. In 1810 New York went to second place, and Pennsylvania to thirci, the others remaining unchanged. In 1820 New York displaced Virginia at the head of the list, and Massachu setts dropped out to give way to Ohio. Virginia stood second, Pennsylvania third and North Carolina fourth. In 1830 Pennsylvania moved up to second place, Virginia was thirci, Ohio fourth and North Carolina fifth. In 1840 New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio ranked one, two and three, and they held the same relative positions until 1890, when Ohio was sent to the fourth place by Illinois. The fourth and fifth States in 1840 and 1850 were Virginia and Tennessee in the order named. In I860 Illinois made its appearance in fourth place, and Vir ginia went to fifth. In 1870 Virginia dropped out and Missouri took its place. The only change since then is the shifting of Illinois and Ohio in 1890. North Carolina, whicb persisted in holding a good position for i'our de cades, has now dropped to the six teenth place, and Virginia, which held out until I860, has gone to the fifteenth. Massachusetts is just out side the pale. It has ranked as seventh and eighth, but is now back to sixth place again. Tennessee, which made a good showing in 1840 and 1850, is now No. 13. The table gives s, very clear idea of the gradual decline of the Southern States in relative strength. By 1890 Tennessee had dropped to tenth and North Carolina to twelfth. Indiana was sixth, Massachusetts seventh, Missouri eight, and Iowa eleventh. In 1890 the first dozen States were : New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri. Massachu setts, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Kentucky and Georgia.
