Jut here,is tlio Professor's letter: Clemson College. ?. Charles Petly, Spartanburg, S. C. [gar Sir: In response to your in ne? of the 11th Inst, I have been *Jng for thirty years for tho pro jtton of l>etter methods In our South agriculturo and thrififogh this the incase of intelllgence^nd prosperity lour farmers. Your first question as the necessity of deepening and more iroughly pulverizing the ?oil before Inting strikes at the root, of the Jtter. The most?important thing for farmer to do is to secure good tex ts through tho agency of thorough jage. Without this much labor in the nting, fertilizing -and cultivating j> crop is done in vain. TMere is an saying, which is especially appllc to farming, viz: "One bud job kes another." If good texture i>s Secured before planning we are apt We poor stands of weakly plants, cultivallorf and small crops. ihe soil is broken only a few inrb ) depth, and even this much not srlzed, thero can be no storage of tur? against a summer drought, risk of. surface washing ing lands, since the compact hardpan resists the down tration of the summer show small amount of broken soil mes saturated, and the water ould sink into the subsoil ..on the surface. This i* the r deep- ploughing and sub hil<* Jack Frost, the best pul U? rendering efficient aid. ?r the fields now and observe w condition of tho surfafce, that the clods which wero ugh poor Ullage last spring under the foot. The surface Iverlzod by the frost presents lstanre to tho plough-, and e same tfam can pull the or tw<yvlncbes deeper than able to do after the baking drying winds Oif March, two inches of the subsoil may I up . now with advantage, frost will pulverize it and , with the soil. If this is ?pr1ng the portion of thc_sub?r ?d up will Imke into clods .and :o during the summer. tiller of the soil should loam rat and most important lesson e of a deep' soil, thoroughly :ed, to admit a free penetra he air and circulation of mo.'s-. ndering the penetration and catktp of the absorbing root possible. This simplifies and s all subsequent operation In % the crop. There is another nig which is applicable here, horough preparation is half on." jgh preparation and shallow >n should he our motto.

Cycle Pat^s In N?w Zealand, CyellHts In New Zealand are strenu ously agitating to have cycling paths laid down along the principal thor oughfares In the colony, especially In the vicinity of cities. Many of the roads of tho colony are roughly made and In some Instances only partially formed and the majority of them are Indifferent roads for cycling. The scheme of the cyclists is that all cy cles iwpt cycle owners should be taxed, the proceeds to be utilized In laying dowji cinder tracks. A bill legalizing this proposal and creating cycle boards to collect the tax and form nnd main tain \hc cycle paths has been drafted and wnt b6 presented to parliament whenover It has received tbo full *anc?

Chief OlerH (innit is doln;? *omo excellent work along this linq ax the state-mem in regard l*? the cotton mill industry shown. It is tho tlr?t time that any such statement haa liwn go:ten up in thr? ottuo and such work rc<yiircK time and tVouhle. St cretary Copper propoae* also to make some timely suggestions as to I>t.hllc officer*, their bonds and com missions. He points out defects in the pKv.oiu law as follows: "1 submit herewith to jour honora li!o hotly a record of tlucMectlou, ap )H?inim-fit and commission of all ?>lu cers of I ho State oct'J->ioni'd hy Huj ?wvr, -not only ror the Information of your hoJy, but that a permanent ac cessible record may b? preserved th ;<of. It will ho noted that, in splto o ftljc constltutlonal niatula o that "all officers of the State shall b" commis sioned by the governor," there do<M not appear iu the record, nor havo there applied to this oflloe for commis sions, various officers elected by your honorable body, and appoln'el through other channels. Parties havo assumed and been allowed to exercise official functions. without projier authority to do so. In other 'casus county officers who have been re-tiectfd havo neglect ed to give new bonds and receive new commissions for the socond term, hold ing their offices under tho terms of their former commissions, providing for occupancy of the ofllce until their successor qualifies I -.have attempted to orrect these pernicious practices an far as possible, reporting to bis efccelloncy the governor various of his appointees to county offices who neg lected or refused to qualif> within a reasonable time. However, the law should be made more stringent. "An examination cf this record will recommend to you. as I most earnestly do. the ensetent of a measure fixing some definite time upon which officers of the various claasts shall assume their duties when olected or appointed. In t he past it, has boon left to the con venience of the..officials, to tho detri ment of efficient public service. "I would call to the attention of your body tho fact that tho bonds of State officers are not required to bo recorded "but are .simply filed in the treasurer's office. By a ridiculous anomaly. th?? State treasurer is required to g'.ve a bond of $90.000?but this bond Is not required to be recorded, nor is it done, and Is deposited In the keeping of the State treasurer! ? I would further recommcrfeT the abolition of nil fees for commissions of public officers. The requirement that *3.21 be paid is an inheritance from our colonial ancestors?before the adoption of decimal currency into which it was translated?and of coursy has long since outgrown Its original purpose, "which was the provision of salary for the office of Secretary of State. Certain offices'have been ex empted from its payment, until it is no longer uniform; even here It Is so. there is no rea-son why the State .should give an officer a fixed salary frr his service, and then require him to give back a portion of It for the evi dence, of his election or appointment. Of course this does not refer to fees for appointments as notaries publl" and comniUsloners of deeds, whicli could well bo Inereasod." The Cotton Supply. New Orleans.
