Tho writer of this paragraph for Lhe last fifteen years has been urg ing tho farmers of the Piedmont country to raise ni abundance of corn, small grain, sorghuim, meat and potaLes for the supply of tho farm awnd then to make cotton the surpluf; crop, whether it is bringing thr Cor thirty cents at planiting time Maniy of our friends have followed ihis plan. Long ago they .-ut diown thiir cotton acreage. They di.A iot illnr4onso it last year vhen .t v, 'Ii vaq 12 to 15 cents in thi sing months. Such farmers havo bi-on, malking four to ight balos to t.e liehIrs . but they are generav abi" to sel a little corn, .W11a*ine ba4 ly, sed a lwat nl oats. Uleni they can y' -a e CC few 1111ImlA in, thle soum mIler 11 ld thIll .ponlerallv liivot a milk vow or tw l for sale. They are oating inmo ll.uir of best Cualit y inadto t Of home raited wheat att i. itr own mills. This is not a cotton belt, such as t0h fiimoj rs havI Iml thei' middle of the State, and we again Urgo farmers to adopt a set tied p.lan anld always pith thei r crops in ACCOIrlance with that plan. On(, farnr said today: '-I sowed ugh wheat last fall to do me a year- with somv- to spare, and 1 would have (one the same thing if vIt ton hid been 20 ccnts aad flour f2 a barrel." That was the right kind of pluck. One year with another, a good plan vigorously purs.Aued, will pay better than changimg to suit the prices of farm prodnct. ROTATION OF CROPS.

It may be defined in a word as a school for imparting more general and advanced iatruction than an be obtained In the various acade lutes and private chools. The univor aity, however, more particularly comn prises a iumber of technical schools, Imparting instruction in all depart ments of knowledge, Inchding classxic a4 literature, the arts and science.t, as biology, mediclue. murgery, law, theol ogy, raechanics and so on. The issue as to which is the most desirable, the ne0 nedvu be bees diewsed at ed tcational congremsas, in the public pres and notably in the leading re views. There has been evident In these dicussions a tendency to look ipon the college as a kind of inferior school which must be given Its place )nly when there is not enough money to establish tho more expensive uni versity. On the other hand, the collego has not wanted its stout champions, in whose view the American college, wIth its concentratod curriculum, the close ness of touch between pupil and pro fessor, is not only an institution that is to be conserved, but is one that of ten, if not always, offers a better kind of education than Is availablo in the university.-Leslie's Weekly. Wow to Read. Rteading is not a lost art to the sae degree that conversation is, but It has in most eses an arrested developmnent through so much reading that umakes no demand upon aesthetic sensibility, so that one is apt to brIng to a fine story full of delicate shades of thought and feeling the same mind which he yields to a newspaper, putting a blunt interrogation as to its meaning as con veyed ini the terms of a rational propo sition, and the writer', charm Ia wholly lost upon him. While the reader's sur' render to the author must be complete, his attitude should not be passive, but that of active responsiveness and part norship.-4U. M. Alden in H~arper's Mag nraine. Dirt Lowe. It is a popular fallacy that the first ilove is the true one, unique In its ex cellenco, says an exchange. As well say that the first pictur'e of a painter is the bast of all he will paint Iu the course of his lifo; that the first speech, the first book, the dirst statue, the first comlpositIOn,1 will be the beet of the statesman, novelist, sculptor or musi cian, as the Ecas may be. i'rst works have all ii0 oImperfections of uncer talnty, of Inlexperience and ignoranco. And it is rather by chance than by anything inherant in the nature of Cu pid's ways that the first love turn, out to be the great one. Giwle In Quatexnala. None of the mialdens in Guatemala are allowed to go abroad from their home. without the company of a champ eron, and a lover Ise only allowed to come and court his sweetheart through the heamvily barred windows of her fa ther's horne. After they are married they pas aiongi the streets in Indian file, the women marching ahead, so that thme husband can be in a position to provent any flirtations. Perfectly Oevveet.
