WHEAT GROWING
IN THE EARLY GAYS,
Interesting Sketch of a Crop
Grov/n in 1856.
NEAR CHEROKEE FORD.
An Krperiixjent I’roved What I.tlierul Ma
nuring und Thorough Cultivation Will I>o
In UaUing Wheat Instead of Cotton
W ith Half the latbor.
Blacksburg, Nov. 5.—I have seen
a good deal of advice in the papers
about the sowing of wheat and, hav
ing had some experience in that line,
1 vtnture to give some of it and will
tell about the crop of wheat grown
by A. M. Latham at Cherokee ford in
1850. He hal a seven acre lot with
a garden in the north-east corner,
something near a half acre. He be
gan by nutting on the lot something
over 2U0 Scotch cart loads of stable
and cowpert manure; the cart held
more than the two horse wagon that
is in use in this country and was
drawn by two of the best horses in
the country. So you will see that
the land had a liberal amount of
home-made manure to begin with.
He had sent to Scotland, his old
home, and bought a Scotch plow
that weighed 275 pounds and a Scotch
plowman—they do not have any
plow-boys in that country. To that
it was ready for the scythe by the
9th of May. He had it harvested
very carefully. Fred sent to Piqua,
Ohio, and had a s» parator brought
on, the lirst one ever in this country.
It had to come at that time around
by Baltimore; and having to be
shipped and unshipped so often it
was w-dl broken up by the time it
reached here. They had it well re
paired and made stronger than at
first, and Woo. Little threshed the
pet lot of wheat with it. The wheat
was measured from the thresher
spout by Win Green Paris and mode
3(17i bushels. Mr. Latham had
twenty-two bushels sown and reaped
GGL bushels.
That proves what liberal manuring
and tiiorough cultivation will do in
; raising wheat instead of cotton, the
wheat taking about half the labor.
I will say a few words about the
wheat and cotton farming in the
country that the Latham’s and my
self came from. I came from the
south, from Dunfriesshire on the En
glish border. Latham, I think,
came from Inverness.
I have often heard my father and
uncles say that in Annandale they
never sowed wheat on land that
would bring fifty bushels to the
acre. Their bread grain there is oats;
the wheat goes for rent, which is
high there. I used to hear my peo
ple tell that they had to pay four
pounds sterling per acre per year.
You know that the pound there is
.fd 81 in our money. So you will see
that they had to have big crops to
the acre to meet the rent.
I think 1 have said enough for the
present. If this meets with favor I
will trouble you with another essay
on wheat culture.

plow he hitched the two horses that
had worked to bis big cart and com
menced plowing the old lot that had
been cleared and worked before the
British and Tories crossed at Chero
kee ford in the Revolutionary.
A Mr. Lurk lived at the ford at the
time- of that cro sing and the lot was
the width of tne road from ins h 'Uie,
so it cuii he nt-r-ii that the land wa-
oM when Mr Latham commenced
tn- UkpeiuneiH on it but b -ing v> ry
in-ur 1 he stables and th>- iron work-
running between twenty and thirl)
teams, there was a large am uut of
home-made manur-. hand} there, for
the lot had been a pet lot from the
time the iron works started.
We will begin with the preparing
of the land with ids big plow and
brag bor«cs, and some oi e that knew
how to manage them; then after
sca'teriug the manure us evenly as
possible, the land was sliced up about
from eight to nine inches deep. It
was soon noised over tho country
that Latham was ruining that pet lot
at Cherokee ford by plowing it so
deep, that the plow was going four or
five inches into the clay or subsoil.
This brought two of the most succtss-
fui Lmnera in the country to exam
ine the {Scotchman's mode of farming
und for the more ckuntable purpose
of advising und setting im.; in the
right way of reaping a recompense
for ids labor and expense. Those
two men were Mr. Jack fcjarratt and
Mr. Elias Morgan, the leading far
mers in the country.
Latham, after treating them to
some of his first-class whiskey, in
vited them to walk out and look at
his method of farming and his prepa
ration for ii. {So when they had
looked over the work f-ornttime he
asked th f if opinion of it. Mi. Syr*
rait’s version of it was that Latham's
plowing would nut do for the land in
this country. Then the inquiry was,
why not'/ Mr. Morgan answered
that the plowing was too deep; the
subsoil up to the sun, stoj thereby
killing the land. Mr. Latham than
asked Mr. Morgan if he did not
think there hud been one i»ide of the
land exposed from the creation up
to that time, which was admitted,
and Latham advanced the idea that
in Iliac time it had got well worn and
tired and lie was turning the tired
side down and bringing a fresh side
up to rest the tired one. YVe will
now give the preparation for the crop
in full.
Notwithstanding the ideas of the
two practical farmers, he went ahead
wilii ins (Scotch plow and plowman
and plowed the land the depth he
tirol started. He ttien harruwtti it
well and haduiothr made that did
not weigh hss Ilian a ton und run
that over the land, crushing back

soon as it was dry enongt), he started
his bull-tongue ploe. *, enough of
them to go over the lot in on*- day ;
and with another harrowing he bad

had eV'-r been seen in 8 -ulii or North !

lie then had a Scoich turnip drill

sprouted and came up well. Before
they got into ihe rough leaf tiie hies
m.tscked them and destroyed them.
JJ» then started five or six bull-
tongue plows and plowed it across
the row o' and sent to (>ai,t.';ii county
for nine bushels of Mogul wheat, the
first of that kind ever seen in upp.-r
South Carolina.
The wheat was North Carolina

in Winciii*t< r measure, which is the
measure in use ben*, it would have
been over eleven bushels. f|o bad It

After the services at the Second
Methodist church Sunday night it
was decided by a number present to
hold a series of weekly prayer-meet
ings iu the church.
The first of tlie?e meetings was
he'd in the church YY’ednesday night
and a spirited one it was. Fully two
hundred souls wore present, of all
'f_ r ‘ - and i-tX's and Mr. Creech says
that it was the largest arid most en-
tbuidastic ga;h> rir g that he has ev» r
seen at a meeting of the kind. Every
one saemed to bj imbued with tl e
spir t of worship and inspired by the
high and holy purpose for which they
h id come together, and the service
was an exceedingly stirring ono.
The good of such meetings and the
influence they have, upon the young
men especially, is too apparent to
everybody to need any comment,
and it is to be hoped that these
meetings will grow in number and in
spirit as they continue.

"It Is lntcr< ting to note,’' says the
Springfield Republican, "that the late
John J. Ingalls came close to parallel
ing the experience of James Russell
Lowell, who was rusticated before his
class exit, and was not present at their
graduation. As Mr. Ingalls himself
stated the case:
“ ‘I delivered a scathing review of
the faculty of our college, taking as my
subject “Mummy Life,” and 1 treated
It in such a uinuuer as to horrify my
own mother, who had come to see me
graduate, as well as the entire faculty.
I he college professors thought to bead
me off by revising my oratory and cut
ting the heart out of It. But when I
came to speak I added all they had
omitted, and paid my respects to the
faculty iu some trenchant words of
criticism. They debated for some time
whether they should hold my diploma,
but they said that my oration had so
much wit and pith In It that, while it
cut deeply, they admitted a great part
of It was true.’
“The fact that this was forgiven
shows that Williams college really had
no ‘Mummy Life,’ and indeed, Mr. In
galls never failed to express his rever
ence for Mark Hopkins.”

“Were you born in Tennessee?”
"No, sab. I was hnwn In Salem,”
“YY’licre was your father born?”

Stcinitz, the celebrated chess player,
says The Jewish Chronicle, was de
scended from a rabbinical family, his
grandfather having been a pelpbrated
Talmudist. Ills grandfather's brother,
Shoietn Stcinitz, was rabbi of Altona,
ami many of bis descendants are to i*e
found today scattered over various
parts of Germany. The name of Stein-
itz’s uncle, Lnznrsteiu, is to lie seen on
many of the Chumoshim published in

corrector of the Jewish press.. Stcinitz
himself was originally educated feir the

your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
