A MODEL PLANTATION. i'rom The Cotton Plant. The following article appeared In the Charleston Sunday New? of Ihc 20th inst., and we arc cortatu thai the readers ofTiiK COTTON PLANT will enjoy this description of a model plan tation in South Carollua. The writer enjoyed the privilege not long ago of driving through this Splendid estate and looking upon the extensive fields of corn aud cotton, which stretched away on all sides almost as far us the eye could reach. It was an enchant ing sight, und although ii was merely a passing ride through the plantation, with a brief hall at the hospitable home of the manager, Mr. K. M. Lide, it was the realization of a desire long felt to look upon Douoho, which has been the pel and pride of our venerable friend, Chancellor .Johnson, for so many years. Ho has created a model, comely plantation from an undesirable tract of hind, which was regarded as nearly worthless on account of the lack of drainage, and be has given to the farming element in South Carolina an object lesson in reclaiming lands that will perpetuate his name among the most progressive fanners of the Slate, while a generation ago lie was ranking among the ablest and strongest men on the chancery bench of this Stale. He has lived to an extreme old age, but his eye is not dunned nor his men tal vision beclouded, and his remini scenceslof tho past are intensely charm ing to bis numerous friends, who aro always eager to share in the pleasures of his conversation. The correspon dent writes as follows : After eleven years' absence I find myself once more the guest of Chan cellor Win. I). Johnson, at his planta tion, Donoho, and to all who know him at all it will be no news to be told that the visit is both delightful and in structive, for there lives no liner speci men of the Carolina gentleman of the ancient regime. A many sided man, lawyer, planter, horticulturist, stand ing at ease amongst the first in nil, a man of loftiest integrity and so modest that his real worth appears only to his intimates. The place 1 am visiting is a creation of the Chancellor's genius. When he bought it is 18?7 his friends in Marl boro and Marion did their best to pre vent the purchase, thinking it a bad investment. One old Scotchman, who loved him dearly, and was proud of him as an honor to the, dear auld coun try as well as this, thought the invest ment very bad indeed, und pronounced it rankest folly, and hinted that a cer tain style of mau und Iiis money arc soon parted. However, the Chancellor is a typical Scotchman, and the pur chase was made, and eighteen hundred acres of land, where the water often stood, except on some ridges, knee deep to a horse, became bis property. About* two hundred acres hud al one time been under cultivation, nearly or quite half of which bud been aban doned aud had grown up in broom or old field pines. The crop that year was eight bales of cotton and three hundred bushels of corn. The Chancellor math: bis lirsl crop there iu ISfiS, and brought to bear upon if at once what he knew about farming, and il was vastly more than the knowledge possessed by Horace Greely, or than anyone suspected. The result was at least promising; fourteen bales of cotton ami about four hundred bushels of corn. Meantime the axe, the shovel and the spade were put ill requisition, as well as the plough and the hoe, and the water level was rapid ly lowered and the abandoned clear ings were reclaimed and the native forest began slowly to disappear. This work lias gone, on and is still in pro gress, and now about one thousand acres are in cultivation, mostly in highchl state, and liiere is not a hill side or bottom that does not pay its way, and the profit comes from a vast area that is neither hillside nor marsh. it has taken years to accomplish Ulis, with the miles on miles of canals, ditches and underdrains required for proper drainage, and to bring the pro duct up to over four hundred bales of cotton and thousands of bushels of corn and wheat aud oats an.I peas, be sides other crops, such as sugar cane, potatoes, turnips and vegetables, which it reached in 18!)8, just two years ago, and all has been under the personal supervision of the master, or planned by him, and executed by the various managers, who have been employed since the Chancellor took up his re sidence in the town of Marion in the early seventies. Meantime he lias, at tirst attended to his judicial duties, and s?nce to a large law practice, with that rare fidelity for winch he is noted and with eminent success. ?1 found on the place this year many of my old acquaintances, tenants and farmers, for the plantation has been cultivated for thirty years or more partly by tenant farmers and partly by hired labor, but all under the supervi sion of the manager of the home farm, as directed by the Chancellor, who every year goes and lays out the work for the year, aud the present manager, Mr. E. M. Lide, a man of largo ex perience in his line, told me he could easily lay out more work than he him self could thoroughly execute in two years. There are four white and three colored tenants, and all of them but one white have been on the place since my first visit twenty-one years ago, and all aro Qrst-class men and farmers. Mr. A. YV. Curry is at work on his thirtieth or Unity-first crop, he be gan with a one-horse farm, this year >? has a three and one-half horse farm, has raised a large family on the place and educated his children. His daugh ters aro graduates and teachers. Mr. F. I). Sellers began twenty seven years ago with a one-horse crop, now works three, and is well off. The Ushers have been on the place a few years less than Sellers. Mr. Usher died since they came, and tho widow and her sons kept the farm, und have, increased it to two horses. Mr. John Waters has been on the place about nine years, has n one-horse crop, is a line farmer, and will soon, no doubt increaso Iiis forco. The colored tenants ore Hob McCall, who was a slave on the plantation and never left it. Ho has for many years worked a two-horse farm and has be come a capitalist. Peter Ilarllc.o came on soon after freedom and from an o* farmer has grown to a two-horse farm er. Little Andy, son of that grand old former slave aad 4< pattern of old fidelity," Daddy Andy Johnson, has his father's farm and such privileges as no one else enjoys, for his father's sake, who sleeps the sleep of the just on the plantation that ho loved. Two years ago Mr. Lide planted with hired Inhor, on tho home farm, one hundred and fifty acres in cotton, and gathered one hundred and scvonty five bales, and tells roc ho lost that year by tho storm at least twonty-llvc bales. This year he planted one hundred and ninety acres in cotton, ono hun dred and fifteen iu corn, and seventy two in oats and peas aftor oats. Three weeks ago he hail the prospect ol Iho finest crop ever made Oll tllO plaCO. 11 has boon damaged by the drought ami exceedingly h<>i suns, hot will certain, j ly produce u very abundant crop not-1 withstanding. There an- lour acres devote.I lo fruit trees alone. I'ccatlS, apples, peaches and grapes; two mulberry plantations ami two UXCOlieut pastures, when- the t attle, sheep und hogs keep in oxcolleul coudiliou from the late . spring lo the early tall, and there are | about thirty head of horses, mules and ? COltS', twenty-seven bead of cattle, sixty sheep and eighty swine, besides what aie owned by the tuilUUlS, who raise the ineal lor their family use ami have enough of inilk and butler to do theut. They raise besides their own eane syrup, potatoes ami vegotablui , and every house bus some fruit trees ami grape vines appropriated to it. Cotton four or live feet high has been made to lake the plat e of COttoU flora nine inches lo one tool, aud a i v. .wer sobbed forest has beou changed | to fruitful Holds, A plantation eon sidured comparatively worthless has become the most valuable of its area in the counties of Marlboro and Marion, both famous for noble plantations. I This is my opinion, aud it is the judg ment Of Mr. K. M. I.ide, who has managed for three of the most success ful planters iu Marlboro County, whore he was horn, aud he knows every foot , ufthis county, ami a man whoso judg ment cnuuot !>?? doubted. Besides iis record as kotchcd above is sulllcieut ' evidence. TllO lon<^ tenures of llic tenants, their prospects, and their love for their homes and the Chancellor, speak in no uncertain tones of their own worth, the value of lliolr farms ami the nobility of the proprietor. To the many questions I asked as to how all tuis was done the Chancellor emphasized the necessity of rolniniug on the land all that grew on it except tin; grain ami lint, liberal use of ferti lizers and all the manure that can he made on the place. Thoro is much more I would like to say, for this is hardly a hall told tale, but time allows no more. Tins plantation lies half tu Marlboro and half ill Mai ion, is four miles from Clio'three from Duubnr, seven from Little Kock, twelve from Dillon and about tho same from I.alla. J. IS. 1>. mm ? NO TRUSTS IN ENGLAND. Cyrus C. Adams says ill Ahislcc's Magazine for September: "There are no trusts in tho United Kingdom, partly because Great Britain and Ireland an; a lice trade nation. and, for reasons which will be men tioned, trusts do not lind congenial soil in free trade countries. Franco and Contra) lOuropo, where population is dense, industrial activities arc highly organized, and competition is fierce, are regions where trusts existed before America knew Ihciil, and where they are glowing in number and Iullucuce every year. "All lands in which trusts aie thriv ing are high tariff countries. The effect of the tariff is, in one way, to favor trusts; the success of trade com bination depends upon its ability to suppressorgroatly restrain competition in its particular hue. If il cannot do this it is a Hat failure. It is obviously much easier to suppress or diminish competition in a single district or country than in (lie whole world. It is much easier to make a trade COIU bluation between producers in one country than in all countries; and if high tariff keeps out the competition of other lauds BO that the trust is not exposed to assaults from all over the world, the tariff favors Hie trust to that extent. "This is an advantage that the United Stales, Germany and Franco have over the United Kingdom in the matter of trusts. If Knglnud holds her home market and her foreign trade in cotton goods, for example, il is ir>t because formal combinations have becu made to make her cottons the best and cheapest the WOI Id can buy, hut because her supremacy in these manufactures is as yet unshaken in spite of all her rivals have done to deepen and widen the channels between their own mills and every market. Though there are no liusts in tlie United Kingdom, as the word is understood among us, it does not follow that then: are not sometimes informal agreements and understandings among business in terests which increase, their power to meet competition; and sometimes there aro complete amalgamations of very large enterpriser, like that of the Coats company in thread manufacture, or of the Armstrong and Whilworth engin eering business, and the results may bo somewhat the same as those of a great combination in the United States or Germany. Hut the trust idea has really made no headway in the United Kingdom. It was tried when tho Salt Union was formed to control all the salt interests of Great Britain, but the experiment was a failure, Busi ness habits and ideas do not favor trusts, and the well known conservatism of the people tends to bar out so pro nounced an innovation. There is no legislation against trusts. The law merely makes provision, as in oilier countries, against, restraint of trade or traffic, but modern Britain has never yet found it necessary on this account to declare contracts null and void.'' --^mm- ? ? The Goldvihe Manufacturing Com pany, of Goldvillo, S. C, lias been or ganized aud will build a cotton mill of 5,001) spindles for the manufacture of yarns. The required machinery has been ordered, and as soon as the build ings are ready will he. received and in stalled. The company will manufacture its own brick and saw ils own lumber and the main mill building will ho a 7"> X280*foot structure. The plant is ex pected to be completed by Dec. 1, and will then be put in operation in con junction with a cotton seed oil mill winch the organizers are now running. Messrs. J, S. Blalock, L. W. C. Blulock and Mrs. M. 10. Browning organized the Goldvillo Manufacturing Company. If phosphorescence is due to vibra tion of material particles, it would seem that magnetism might affect it.

Tin- late aouuul session i?f Iho Geor gia state Agriculluia) Society was a remarkable meeting iu several respects. Tho porsonol of the convention was quite remarkable The altondaiico was largo, an<l composed ol many of 11??* brainiest men in Iho Stale They were men capable of handling great questions. This session was notable from the fact lhal the entire Bession was devoted to the diSCUSSIon Of the single ou0s lion, "The metis of Iho Southern farmer." Not of the Georgia farmer, but of the Southern fanner. Hence we think this subject will interest all t?i our readers. The Southern farniei I is just now a very important character. Upon bis prosperity depends very much the prosperity of the entire couutry. Alld Upon Iiis SUCC088 largely depends the continuance ami full development 1 of the wonderful title of wealth now I attracting Iho eyes of all economists. Never was tho cotton crop of such j commercial importance .i* now. Add it) this tho enormous possibilities of our j cattle, cane, rice, turpentine, lumber, iron and manufucluiing industries and you have a vista that is truly over- j whelming and dazzling. Of all these ami a hundred more lines of wealth- j producing employments, the Southern farmer is the foundation .V PKiTi.tAi: SITUATION. Every speaker for the two full days' discussions was assigned the self-same .subject. Hut when we examine the program, w< Und only one actual "bona title" farmer's name, ami be was to speak upon "Tho Cotton Growers' Protective Association." As a inaller of fact one fanner did speak on the. leading subject, hut his namo was omitted from tin; printed program. Many fanners look a part in the dis cussions, limited to live minute speeches. So we had lengthy ami ably w litten papers from all sorts of sources. . The farmers were muchly advised as to their needs. They were, enumer ated in full catalogue and reiterated with ropealed emphasis. 11 is life was made to look blue ami bis hopes bluer, lie was tohl that he was poor ami growing poorer, Ilia*, he was menu and growing meaner, thai lie was idle and getting idler. That he was a victim and often victimize 1. He was told that he was ignorant, and needed ; sense. That niosl of his woes were due to the fact thai he didn't keep hooks. 'That he was in debt, mort gaged, anil did not treat his wife right. That he lacked independence, and needed every man to stand for him sell. That he needed, above all things, [ organization, every man to loan on every other man, ami thus combine i against, all the combines ami form a trust to light against all the trusts, lie was tohl that he was very needy ami j getting to i>e rather seedy. He was I wurnnd against (he negro, lie was , told thai he could not got al nig with i out the negro, thai the negro was a I better laborer than Hit: while man, bll< ; that th? negro was a blood-sucker ami { bound to live upon him, honestly or dishonestly. In short, ho was in a I hole ami ami could not see. out, hut ! would he shut in if he did not crawl I Olli. He was ail vised and ail vised until he i really needed some gootl advice. I lie was told of his "needs'1 from tho ! immigration agent's standpoint, from I the editorial standpoint, from the ox I pcrlmontnl standpoint, from the ollico ' holder's standpoint, from the chemical 1 standpoint and from the agricultural I standpoint. Ho was muchly viewed. a SIXGULAIt omission. After enjoying to the full the an swer to Hum's prayer : "Oli, wad some power the gil'tit: gie us I'osee ourselves as otliurB see Ii-, He was left with his mouth wide open ami his appetite lull whetted lo learn what he must do. Vory Utile was Bald along this lint:. He was left largely to lilld out for himself how he could sup ply his many needs. Perhaps this was well. Perhaps , e will IIlid a better solution for himself. He is rapidly do ing this already, ami this discus ion will help him. WHAT or IT a 1.1.. Very much every way. Thai an eii tire|ineeliug should have been given to this subject means a good deal. It will do us gootl to know how the out sider looks at us. We can now lhink for ourselves. Wc can lind out why the Southern furnier is so different from nil other farmers. Wc can awake to the true situation ami seeing our op portunities go vigorously lo work to make the most of them. We can convince the world that we, the fanners, know more about our '?iicciIm'' than anybody else. The best way lo tin this is to press along to pros perity by studying our profession, learning our business, taking pride in our calling antl rearing our children to be proud thai thoy are tho sons ami daughters of fanners and successful farmers thcnise'ves. Diversify, Culti vate, Educate. In these three lie un told possibilities. When the farm boys and girls are as well educated and drossed as the city boys antl girls thoy will rank alongside of them in society ami politics, and lie. happy ami contented at home, on the farm. Pres. .1. Pope Brown deserves the thanks of Southern farmers for the itlea that be planned this convention. For the Ingo antl outcome of this occa sion, il will tlo gootl. The meeting was harm minus, de lightful, profitable. Till". REAL STATE OF THE cask. The "Needs of the Southern Farm or" are numerous. But we think thai chief among these should he named : A more thorough technical knowledge, of his business. He should know the. soil and II plants anil the markets. II is easier to grow a fair crop than it is to sell it well. Next he needs less advice from in competent sources. About one-thud just about pays ex penses. Then he needs to cut down his acre age. About one-third of the land in Cultivation does not pay expenses. The other third has to run the whole. Bet ter, then, cultivate and improve that last third and lei nature bill Id up the other two thirds. By this method the cost of produc tion will be groatly decreased, tho quality of crops greatly improved ami Overproduction Will be impossible. Hence, gootl prices will prevail. lie needs to free himself from tho burden of the improvident negro. In telligence and machinery will tlo this. M ? ?mm? Every indication is propitious for fall oats. It is timo now to prepare the ground, if this has not boon done before. Early in September is the tune for sowing. What a pasture for pigs WOUld be secured by planting now, and h >w pigs would delight in it and grow in length, breadth, thickness and abili ty to digest corn early in winter when a coating of fat is dosired.

It is making no growth, nor is it fruiting. Whoro the bliowcrs were followed by bright sun shine, cotton was scalded. Ticking is general, but is retarded by the hot ] weather.

Cotton continues to open rapidly, aud there is considerable com I plaint of rust and shedding, in many I liclds the leaves have become brown I and withered from the effects of loo much hot sun and dry weather; picking ! is now general, aud some bales have i been marketed. In Florida the absence of rain with I cloud loss skies hastened cotton loopeu I and, as a result, picking is geuuiul.

The fact that it is possible lo procure plant, food ready for immediate use should be no excuse for WilSlclul and careless methods of handling and de veloping (he resources of the farm, ll is possible, lo maintain the farm in a high slate of fertility without using a pound of commercial plant food." T. M. Allen, a good farmer of Hock Hill, who resigned from the Stale board of control because the duties conflicted with his religious convictions, recently visited the State farms to ascertain Whether, in his opinion, they shall he. kept or abolished. After investigation lie bclieveB it best to hold on lo them. On the Heid farm he ascertained that :i()0 acres yielded 10,00(1 bushels of oats; 00 acres, 1,100 bushels of wheat. There are .'100 ncros of line corn fully made and 100 acres of late corn very promising. The '2.'i0 acres of collon was the best ho had seen this year. There were ocres of rice and cane. hast year tho hay crop of the State of Now York was worth $37.000,000 in round numbers, about eight times as much as in any Southern State. Sil HE DDK!)

It appears thai tho ( wood is reduced lo thin shavings. Which are placed in a washing appa ratus, exposed to the influence of sloani for ten hours. They uro then sub jected to a strong preparation of sodium lye, and are heated under great pres sure for 30 hours. Tho wood is now changed to pure cellulose, some castor oil, caffeine and gelatine are added. The substance is then put into an apparatus mid made into threads, which are then reeled. The German plan of protecting lingo shafts by a covering of vulcanized rubber is Unding favor in England, where it is expected to extend rapidly. It is estimated that the farms of Kansas will this year yield over $100 for overy man, woman and child in the State. A ORK AT OO-OPE R AT IV E SUC !

Ii is pleasant in know,however,thai . where tue efforts have beeil made mi strictly business plans, they have beeil j very successful and Very UUIlCilctu). j I'robably (lie most notable example of this is the dr?nge spue at Olulhu, Kansas. Twenty-three yours ugo this enter prise was started with only $800 capi tal. Today that company has paid up capital ol >1 I .S,ii()0, a ( ash fcUtplUS of $27,000, anil owns a handsome brick budding three stories high that is I18x 120 root in dimensions. There are ulso cedit brunch sinn -, in the same conn- . ly, each carrying u stock worth $8,000, and eacli owning Its own building. The history ol this enterprise is very interest in;; and it is a powerful lost! mound to the he no 111 and success of the principle <d co-operation, as well as to the lad that all thai is needed iii enterprises of this Kind is I hat the in terested parties Will slick to their pur pose and he true to themselves and to each ol her in wol kite', it out. When the Olulhu store was started it was til once made the target of all other stores in the town. They deter mined to kill the enterprise and iuii the tanners out ol business. So they adopted a plan of selling certain arti cles at 01' below cost, each one taking a sp' ei dly. * bio would udvottiso sugar mi cost or below; another canned goods, another shoes, another lloiir and soon. The manager of the (irange store round Olli their scheme and whenever one of his customers wanted any article the Other stores sold at cost, he would send them there to buy it. Indeed he found il 0 good plan to got some of the fanners to go OUt and buy at cost from these stores goods that he would then sidl 111 his own store. This scheme lo seduce Hie fanners by hails fill led lo bo a success. They saw through I be scheme which of course, only had for its purpose the breaking up of the ('range store, when of course the old prices would at once bo resumed. So after about a year the merchants (mil lighting the Grangers, and the business went oil. The method of business was lo pay a rebate Oil till purchases, alter all ex penses wore paid, and interest on lin stock at lo per cent, 'the stock was ?."> a share and no one person could own mere than 200 shares, world 81, ooo. Stockholders were lo gel twice as much robate as other buyers. This is what is known as the Rochdale plan, which has built up such an euoinious business in England. In twenty-throe years Ihe store has Hold very nearly $5,000,000 worth ofg.Is, has paid u stockholders .-117,110?. and lo olllCI customers in lobules $21.'1,111 A, W< do not doubt Ibal every one of tin m farmers is a successful, prosperous fanner. ?'J'ri'Mut* fr'aynit r.

The weather is usually hoi ami dry, ami Ihc longer Ihc stubble is unplowcd the harder ihc work will he on Ihc men ami the teams, ll will save lime to have two good shares at least with each plow, ami to keep them sharp, otherwise the work will he much harder on the men ami ti nms. While deep, thorough plowing is al ways the lust, iL is hardly advisable to di epen the plowing loo much at once. It the ground has always been plowed shaliow heretofore, two or three im lies deeper is as much as should be done at one lime. Next year two or Ihrec inches more of subsoil can be turned up; but if too much ol the subsoil is brought to the siii lace at any one lime, especially lor wheat, the results will not be satisfactory. While there may be plenty of plain food in the newly tinn ed subsoil, yet it. will nearly always be in an unavailable condition and will need the aetioii of sun, rain ami frost to make it avni'ahle. One fairly deep, (borough plowing, in good season, will glVO heller results than two skimmings., In many cases it will be more economical lo use a lib inch plow with three horses, as more ami heiler work can be done in Ibis way al a less cost than with a smaller plow and two horses. Care should be taken in plowing to turn everything on the surface com pletely under. Stubble, weeds, stalks and trash of all kinds should he turned under. While there may not he a very large quantity of fertilizing value in stubble stalks, yel the mechanical effect is so bciiclicial that it will al ways pay lo tiiin everything of this kind into tin; soil. If the condition of the soil will ad mil, the harrowing should he kepi up I close with the plowing; but this can not always be done, ami the next plan is lo harrow as soon as possible aller a good rain. What is desired for wheal is n rea sonably linn seed bed underneath ami thii e oi four inches of pulverized soil on the surface, and it will pay lo har row, roll, drag or cultivate until this condition is secured. There are two advantages in plowing early; one is there is a belter oppprlllllily of prepar ing the soil in a good condition, and the ol her is that the material turned under will have a heller opportunity to decay. ll pays to lake all reasonable, pains to prepare the soil in a good con dition for wheat, and the safest plan is lo commence 111 good season. cj -iv "dp o set. x ^k.. Boara tho 1 he Kind Vou Have Always Bauxit "TT ^Z^Mi^ Tests of liquid nir for blasting,begun at a tJorniOU colliery about three yi ars ago are being systematically continued at one of the largest factories for ex plosives in Europe. The explosive compound is formed by adding some carbonaceous SllbSlailCO, 011(1 many dlf fercnl mixtures have been studied, some of tbem proving very dangerous on account of high inilainniabilily ami too sudden detonation, flood results have been lately obtained with equal parts ot para 111 U and charcoal, the tilled cartridge being soaked in liquid air or having the liquid poured into the wrap per. In practical mining, a probable, method would he to lake a tank of liquid air to the working place, and Iben deposit in it a wire basket of car tridges, allowing these lo remain until the moment, of using. Complete soak ing requires about ten minutes. A cartridge h inches long by j .'?- I inches in diameter weighs II 3-4 ounces when tilled with a mixture of kloselguhr, tar ami tar oil, ami it absorbs :M ,\.\ ounces of liquid air. So rapid is the deteriora tion that it would be necessary to use a earn Idge of this size within fifteen min utes ufter removal from the vital fluid. With carbon materials of the petroleum variety and highly oxygenated liquid air, it is possible to obtain an explosive compound of greater strength than blasting gelatine, hut safer mixtures are less strong. - mm ? mm OABTOniA.
