Out
Come now, lot's divido out. There
are IKK) good working days lu tho year.
Suppose wo call ono of thorn orphans'
day. We havo a Labor Day and Wash
ington's birthday and indopondonco
day and other days not upart lor obser
vance, why not havo a day for tho or
EhanB of (Jeorgia v Tho orphanage at
lecatur Is in great need and tho gool
mon in charge havo atked tho people
to give tho 29th day of tills month to
their service, tho labor and earnings
of ono day. What bettor can wo do
with It V Madam DeStaol said that
our bank account in ileavon would bo
mado up of tho money wo gave away
in charity while wo lived upon tho
oartb. Huntington died worth $.">0,
000,000, but ho could not tako It with
him, and It Is feared that ho will havo
a very small bank account up yonder.
Ho could havo ondowed a hundred or
Idiauages aud bad plenty left for his
clndrod. Surely we can all give some
thing ou that day. I am going to give $2.
Mr. Crumley shan't shako his Metho
dist locks at me. " Ho that giveth to
the poor lendeth to tho Lord." " And
now, If you like thosccurity down with
the dust," as the old Scotch preacher
said when he sent around tho hat for
charity. Tho word fatherless moans
an orphan?a child boroft of a protect
ing parent, olthor father or mother,
or both. Tho word motherless is
not In tho Bible, but tho word father
less includes it, and It Is found in the
scriptures thirty-eight times, and is
always coupled with a reward to those
who befriend the orphan, or some cal
amity upon those who oppress them.
Job says, " If I havo lifted my hand
against the f horless, may mine arm
fall from my sbouldor blado," and St.
James says, " l'uro religion is to visit
tho fatherless aud tho widow in their
atlliction." Good friends it will not do
to say you have nover wronged the
orphans. Neglect of thorn is a wrong.
If nobody gave what would becomo of
them. Everybody ought to give?give
according to your purse?give as tho
Lord hath blessed you. it Is a peril
not to give. St. l'otor keeps tho books,
and I want him to find my name on
them with a good bank account at
tached.
I had a funny conference with my
wife about this. She says sho will give
a dollar if I will work It out. "What
do you want mo to do V" said [. " The
window cord is broken," sho said, "and
the Bldoboard lock is out of order, and
the long-handled broom that 1 brush
down tho spider webs with Is worn out
and needs another broom on it." " Is
that all V" said I. " Oh ! no. The hall
papering is pealing oil and needs ro
pastlng, and there is a leak In the roof
over the dining room. " Is that all?"
said I. " Woll, you can finish tho day
sifting tho ashes and putting some
around tho roso bushes. Mr. Merck
man's book says that ashes are a good
fertilizer for tho roses." I pondered
awhile and then ventured to ask where
she was going to get the dollar to pay
me. " Why, from you of course," she
said. " Whero did you expect mo tc
got It ? Didn't 1 glvo you everything
I had, and didn't you promise to give
mo everything you had? Didn't yoi
say, ' With all my worldly goods I thee
endow ?' What's mine is mine ant
what's yours is mine, too, according tc
that." "But my dear," said I, "havcn'l
I supported you and maintained yoi
for all theBO years and responded t<
every want and wish I could r" "Why
yes, of course you havo ; but if a wifi
was to keep accounts with her husbanc
she would bring him in dobt every time
Board and clothing don't pay for nurs
lng and night watchlug and sowing am
darning and housekeeping and raisini
up ten chlldron through Infancy am
childhood, and doctoring measles am
whooping cough and boils and colic
etc. I made a thousand little garment!
for them with my needle before then
was ever a sewing machino invented.'
"Yes," Bald I, " I remoinbor ; and yoi
made your own clothes and my shirtf
?my plaited bosom shirts, with pear
buttons?yes, 1 remembor. I can't lim
any as good now." Then sho romarkod
" You coulden't got u good housekoep
er for leas than *100 por year, couul
you? And that would mako over 8."j,000
and the Interest compounded would
make tive ilraos as much more that you
owe me, and you ask mo where I an:
going to get tho dollar." " But, hole
on, my dear," Baid I, "you forget that
I had to support and cducato your ten
children?you always call them yourc
?and that old Abo Lincoln sot all your
1 niggers ' free and that the war broki
me all up and I've had to aculll j for n
living ever Biuco, and I give you money
whenever you ask for it and keep you
In cologne and camphor and livor mod
lclne and missionary money and little
presents for tho chlldron and grand
children on their birthdays. Didn't I
give you two dollars last week to buy
amber beads for Mary Lou. When the
cook quite or gets Bick, don't 1 got up
and make the fire and cook the break
fast and movo around on tiptoe to keep
from waking you?and?and? and
haven't I made you a marblo chip walk
to the street for your numbor 2 shoes
to walk on ?" " Is that all," said my
wife, and she laughed at mo and said.
" Oh, you know I was just joking. I
know that you havo done tho best you
could. I wouldn't swap you off for any
body. Now go and sco If you can't
climb that now laddor you mado ye?
turuuy and got some squabs for supper
tonight. There must bo a dozen or
more up there, and tho girls havo in
vited company to tea." Laddors and
squabs ! Well, I trlod the new ladder.
It Is fourteen foot long and and reaches
up to the gable end of tho smokehouse,
where the pigeons live, and by tho time
I got nearly within reach I didn't know
whether my head * as swimming or tho
ladder careening, and I just my eyes
and slid down with alacrity, like a (ire
s man, and liked to havo had a fit of ner
" vous prostration, and my wife juat
laughed at me when l told her. I am
the boy, and sho hasn't yet realized
that I am growing old. I go to tho
butcher's and tho bakor's and tho post
office and dig tho potatoes and hunt up
chlokens and oggs and bring her frc9h
roseB every morning and look after tho
little grandchildren while sho takes
her evening nap. I havo a lot of lottors
to answer every day, and boforo I can
finish one somebody wants something
done, and when night comes I am as
tired as an old dray horse. We used
to be rich, but now wo aro as poor as
Lazarus. But still wo put on airs and
keep open house just liko we did bo
fore tho war, and our daily visitors
have to be entertained and I must holp
do it. A stranger came the other day
while I was working tho rosebuds and
had ohargo of two ilttlo grandchildren
and my wife was napping. Ho took a
?eat on a bench and said ho came to
see me about lying?tho sin of lying.
This alarmed me for a momont, Then
he said that I was tho wrltor for the
press and had Influence, and ho wanted
me to help him reform tho world about
lying. And he told mo how tho politi
cians lied and tho nowspapors Hod and
the newspapers lied and tho merchantj
lied and made their clorks to lie and
dooeive their customers and how tho
lawyors Hod in the courthouso to de
ceive the jury, and somo of tho preach
ers had got to lying and making up
sensational stories in tho pulpit. Ho
was well posted and quoted seripturo
and talked in a stream until I got tired
of his abstractions. Then ho asked mo
If alle oradeoeption was justifiable
under any olroumsUnces. I roplled
that there were some white Hob or de
ceptions that I thought wore adralBBlblo
under certain clrouinstance. Ho looked
surprised and asked me to give him an
instance or example. Well, said I, a
L woman called on my wife yesterday
Lwhtle she was In the kltohen putting
mko peaoh pickles. This old woman was
a long selling hon and my wlfo got ' '
\ory tired of her, and lit lam when tho '
roso to leuvo, my wife tuid : " Can't
yuvi sit longer V Why are you In BUCh
a hurry ? Well, do call again noon?
I'm BOrry you can't yIt longor." The
stranger spoko abruptly and said :
" Your wife deceived her und did
wrong?she ought to have told her that
sho wan busy and must bo excused.
Oon't you think so?" Well, now, said
1, lot mo put another case. You coino
horo and found me hard at work with
my coat oil and I had two littlj child
ren to watch, for my wifo told mo not
to lot them got out of my dight, und
now tiioy have gone, I must hunt them
up, and I've listened to your abstrac
tions for half an hour und all to no
practical purpose, suppose 1 should suy
to you, my friend, yon will havu to ex
OUBO me: I mubt look after the children
and work my garden, and I reckon you
had bettor go. What would you think
of mo and my rudeness ? Ho looked
BUrpritfOd ami grieved and said, " Do
you mean It'.'" No, auld [, and if 1 did,
It would be very Impolite for me to tell
you so. 1 had rather tell a little white
llo?hadn't you V Ho was silent for a
minute, and then said : "Well, I reck
on I had hotter go," und ho hado mo an
affectionate good by.
Hut let us not forget tho orphans
nor tho day. Thoro la no lio about
that. Sometimes 1 fool like an orphan
myself and wish my father und mother
woro hero to comfort mo. I reckon
that is a sign of second childhood.
Now I have a labor of love before uk ,
I shall compile that book of poems and
I want help. Kind friends have sent

clinical ail vantages, lie resigned his
position and relinquished a growing
practice to return to Philadelphia?
The following year he not only attend

tablished a quiz class, which was large
ly patronized by medical students, lu
1850, inconsequence of.lohn Brown's
raid Into Virginia, Dr. McGulre was
tho leader of a movement among tho
students to return to Richmond.
Governor Henry A. Wise welcomed
them in a stirring speech. Tho Med
ical College of Virginia matriculated
tliom without ohargo, aod too city
council made an appropriation to reim
burse them for the (.?Xpousesof the trip.
Dr. McGuiro coraploted the session in

Dr. McGuiro inaugurated the; plan of
releasing captured medical llllcore.
After tho light at Winchester with
Banks, eight Federal oillcors wer" BO*,
free upon tho simple condition that
they would t ndcavor to procure the re
loasoof the same number of i !on federate
surgeons, and a few weeks aftOi this ail
the medical oftlcors who had been con
lined by both the Con federn ?? and Pot'
eral armies as prisoners of war wero
released and returned to their respec

Interrupted by sumo disagreement
between the commissioners for tho
exchange of prisoners, Di\ McGuiro
continued to release surgeons when
ever it was in his power. Dr. M?(. lire
was albo tho lirnt to e?rgani/. : tho re
sorvo corps hospital in the Con federate
sorvico, and was tho originator of the
ambulance corps, a systi m now univor

Charles Moil (?bten. This posilion ho
held until 1S78, when the demands of
an extenslvo practice compelled him
to resign it; the college conferring
upon him in 1K80 the title of omeritUS
professor. In 188!) Dr. MoGuire estab

Why Coarse Goods Cannot Now ito
Mad< lho I'rloo Below Cost of Pro
ilnctton.
Tho Groonvlllo correspondent of the
Columbia State, say.-:
"Nothing that, l.a-i occurred in tho
.Southern industrial world for u long
lime ban excited .is much interost as
the announced intention of the South
Carolina cotton mills on coerce goods
to run short time. The most Imporlant
of these mills aro the following! The
three at Piedmont, tho threoat Pol? r,
the three at Clifton, tho two mills of the
Andereon company, tho Ballon mill,
? the Abbeville, New berry, It iedy It in r,
Whitney, i'acolet and Glendale mills
and the Orr mill at Anderson. These
I mills manufacture what is known as
standard drills and !l yard sheetings,
that Is three yards of (roods to the
pound. The*' also make ?''>! yard and 4
' yard shei tings. The abovo lint io
clinics, no far as 1 can learn, every ? tj .It
in the. State manufacturing coarse
i goods. Tiu. " in lino goods soil to the
; domestic market and are not a Hooted
? i>y the war in China. Tiio line Roods
, mills have orders ahead sufficient to
, pay them to run on full time oven wl'di
11 cants cotton. But w'th ?'! yard goods
1 at 61 cents tho coarse goods m'lh ran
not afford to manufacture cotton at n
cents.
i ''A leading mill prosideut told mo
that for these mills to continue ucdor
, existing condition? would moan a loss
I of 30 cents per hum ovory day. This
, would soo?i oat up dividends and oapl
tub There, are two causes for the
trouble. If cither cau?o wore absent
the mills could continue. Pi ret, cotton
Is II cents, -I cents higher than one
year ago; second, tho Chlneso troubles
nave closed tiio principal market f jr
ooarso good i and tho exporters aro n >t
buying at ut profitable prices. There is
no other market for these goods m/o
China, and already one third of the
lOngllsh mills has shut down com
pletely, whilo anothor one third Is
running half time. Tho two largest
coarse goods mills la Njw P.ogland,
tho Peperlll and l.aconla, have also
shutdown. Thcso latter mills wanted
the Southern mills to shut down, but
for tho sake of thu employees they re
fused and vvill stop running only a por
tion of tho time. I am told the two
Augusta mills aro closed also. As con
sequence of this condition, these mills
have withdrawn from tho market for
cotton, though few of them aro well
stuckod, but tho tine gouds mills be
sides having remunerative orders
ahead are also woll stocked with raw
cotton. It la posslblo tho exporters aro
holding down prices believing Southern
mills won't shut down, but tho mills
have called this blulT and their action
may soon settlo tho trouble, especially
If cotton falls olT. Refusal to shutdown
is really a kindness not only to opera
tives but to tho country generally.
Some of theso mills are also changing
to line goods as rapidly as possible.
? In nin j.ddross to tho farmers at
Qreoowoo?, Mr. VV. S. Hill, of tie
United States agricultural department,
mado ono slatomont which should bo
posted on ovory burn in tho Stato for
frequent referonco. "South Carolina,"
ho said, " in respect of wheat produc
tion, is far behind all other sections of
tho (Jolty d States, and even of tho
Southern States. Tho avorago ylild
in this Stato, according to the statistics
of tha agricultural department, is only
eight husiiols per acre. It produces
about ono million bushols per annum,
an? consumes abouteix million bushels.
Tho monoy to pay for tho Other flvo
million bushols, betweon live, and six
million dollars, goes out of tho Stato.
If this monoy could bo kept at uorao it
would be a groat help to tho farming

HEAD EXPERIMENT STATION
BULLETINS.
It is 0 great pity that so many tarm?
er? tiro so conservative and averse to
making any elVorl to change their
methods, that they do not ever take
the tlOUblO lo get acquainted with new
Ideas thai might benefit them. As a I
result of this very common fooling the
facts gathered Iron, tho experiments
undo at the State experiment stations
iml published every week or two are to
a largo extent ignored by the very peo
ple tor whose benefit those institutions
were established. Kverv tanner in
Cltcll Stale ought to . ?IVO his name put
upon the list at the slat ion in his Stete
of those to whom the bulletins are re
gularly sent. And more than that, he |
OUght to read und study them, and if
there seems to be something that will
benolil him, he ought to make i practic
al test ol it and see if it is worth any
thing to him.
In bulletin *i8 of the Arkansas station
there is published an UCCOUUt of some
CXpcriwOUts to determine the effect of
plowing under cow peas, Boju beans and
Velvet hCMlS, on the next COttOU erop,
i and ibe dilYorcuCO 111 results when the
? whole crop is turned under and just
the stubble after cutting Oil the vines.
! In each ease n half of the phil was
I mowed and the vinos taken oil, and
the other half left standing lo ho plow
ed under.
It whs found thai Lho velvet bonus I
mudo lho Inrgcst increase in crops,
both rroui the vines and the Blubblo. I
lint in every ease the plowing under of
lho whole vines made n greater increase
than lho stubble. In the C08C of corn
planted alter BOju beans and COW peas,
the turning under of the whole SOjn
beau vim s produced tho best results,
In comparing the results of plowing
under the whole vine- and the Hubble,
ii was found that while then', was con
siderable gain from plowing under the
whole vines over the stubble, the
money value of the increase of the
crop was not equal to tho feuding value
of the hay thai was taken oil. Hut in
View of lho fact that the one crop that
followed the plowing under of the vines
did not take out of the soil all of the
fertility put there by the vines, it is
probable that the gain lo the soil was
fully equal to lho foediug value.
However, since it is possible to get
the improvement of the land as well as
the feeding value, that plan ought by
all means lo be adopted. Of course if
the bay is fed to stock and the manure
made returned to the same land, it will
gel tho gain. Hut why not turn the
BtOCk m and lot llieiU gather the feed,
and distribute the manure themselves ?
We have never known any otic to prac
tice continuously ror any length of
lime, sowing peas alter oats Ol wheat,
to be grazed down, and then the same
land sown again in the same crop; or
nltcrnnliug wheat With oats; but it is
! our belief that with tho addition ol n
j little phosphate and potash, that prac
tice might be kept up indefinitely and
I not only increase tin; amount of the
, crop gathered nach year, but add to tho
I permanent fertility oi the.sod.
In all Ihc olih r Slate-, except 111 those
small sections where there h a rich
limestone soil, the uplands are now
pi'Ctly well run down through continu
ous cropping and washing away ol ihc
soil. It is therefore the most import
I ant. Ics?011 that can he learned 10 re
i store the fcililiiy of Iho soil and .d Ihc
I sann: time make prolllahlc crops, II
I this can he done nl all, it will have to
he dime, so far us our proSCIll knowl
edge goes, by the use of leguminous
crops. In the South cow peas, or pos
sibly velvet beans, seem to be the hcsl
adapted. The important thing to lind
! out on each I'nrm is the kind of crop
I rotation that will enable the farmer to

l ak.mi.m; kok YOUNG MEN.
While n young man may have so i
ilroug an inclination to somo ?uo trade
H business tiiat he really would he uii
VV180 -lot to make that the occupation
of his life, there are many who have
UO SUCh strong tendencies to guide
them in their choice, says American
Cultivator. They take up with that
which ?ftere itself to them, feeling
that they can leave it for something
else very readily if it does not suit
them. The days of long apprentice
ships are over in this country, and it is
not unusual now to Und a youug man
of -,") who has tried a half dozen differ
ent kinds of business, and has not
been successful in any of them, simply
because they did not especially interest
him, and he was ready to change
whenever there, seemed to be n slack
ca sou lor the article ho was hoping to
produce, and better demand for labor
in some other direction.
Our present system of factory work
13 partially to be blamed for Ibis. No
man 1- givOU a chance to learn how to
produce the finished goods he helps to
make, be it a boot or a steam engine.
He has not learned how to do more
than a small part, winch by some
change in style or in the machinery
used may cease to be in demand when
he most needs steady employment.
This must lead to change, even though
he has no llckloncss to cause him to
desire new work and new surround
inga.
A half century ago there was littlo
in tho farmer's life that was attractive
to a young man. Those who remained
on tin' farm wore apt to do so either
lire;,use of family tl08 Which seemed
to hind thoni at home, or were those
who lacked ambition, energy or ability
I to lilld ? niployinonl elsewhere. Few
! cared to come to the farm who were, not
I born and brought up there, while cities
an manufacturing towns were Tilled
? with humor's sons and daughters who
wen- seeking for easier ami more rc
! munerativo employment than they
J found at home
It was not necessary to seek far to
I lii:?l the cause of this. The hours ol"
j fai in labor woi 0 longer during the great
I cr part of the year. Neatly every task
I indoors or out called for strength rath
; or than skill, and persevercuce more
j than judgment. A living might Do
i obtained, and some managed to accu
, mulato properly, but there was little
money to bo handled, and il really
seemed as if it was a life of hard toil
and littlo compensation. The change
of seasons brought some change of
work, and yet it was monotonous. No
machinery lightened labor, and there
were but few aiuuseinei.ts CXCCp'ing
i during the long winter evenings. The
fanners and their wives who worked
during all the hours of daylight had
littlo chance for sociability, and little
to interest them outside of their own
I affairs.
To-day farming is far different from
what it was as wc romcmbor it. Ma
chinery lias been introduced so ihat
horses or steam power are doing those
things which wen; then done by human
strength. Skill to direct and guide arc
ill demand, and the muscular power is
not severely taxed in the day's labor.
Kven the few tools which BUtvivo from
that day, the scythes and forks, hoes
and shovels are now made so light and
perfect that they seem more like toys
than the implements of hard labor that
our lathe>\s used.
Hotter animals and poultry have
( omo into fashion, and the care of them
becomes tin inloros?ng task because
we can see how they can be improved
or made productive by heller methods
of feed and care. The young man who
once begins breeding and mowing line
slock is likely to learn to love them
while he is watching their development
and improvement, even almost as well
as he loves the children whom he has
watched from infancy.
Heiter Iii it ami better vegetables
have been introduced on the farm,and
not only is it a pleasure to watch their
growth and to taste them w hen mature,
but they can be convened into cash as
quickly us gathered, and the farmer or
farmer's son need not go for weeks or
perhaps months at a time without a
coiu lo chink against, another, as t'ai ni
CIS Used to do who had hill little to.sell
until alter (he harvest of the late fall.
Now il he manages rightly the tanner
will have crop- to harvest almost every
week from the thawing of the ground
in the spring until snow covers il again.
The farmer's lifo is less solitary as
ho grows nunc interested in his busi
ness. Hi; desires lo keep up with Hie
modern improvements, ami lo do this
he visits other fanners losee what they
arc doing ami how they do it. lie
niusl meet with thcin at the Grange or
the Farmers' club or the Institutes to
talk it over with them, and exchange
experiences in such works as they have
been doing. Nor is bo contented with
being limited lo the wisdom of his own
county Of Stale. A good newspaper
brings him hints and suggestions and
new ideas from other Stales, ami per
haps from foreign COOtltrics. lie knows
that in every Stale there are men
.studying, investigating and experi
menting to gain knowledge thai may
be useful to him or to other fanners.
With all this, the farmer's home has
become more attractive. Ho lias uot
checked tho march of Improvement at
its threshold. Here are devices to
lighten labor as well as in the lieb!. In
the house and around i( arc things i hat
arc ornamental as well as useful. The
bleak, bare house, without shade around
itorallower excepting the wild dow
ers of the field, is not often seen now,
and many little changes have taken
place to render it a home instead of a
more habitation and dwelling place.
We have spoken of the farmer of
to-day as he should be, and ns many of
them are. The young tnau who visits
such a farm, and sees how pleasant the
place may be, and how much there is
to interest one in I Ik; work of every
season, can scarcely contrast the shop,
the factory or the counting room with
it without feeling that the farm is a
place for liberty am. enjoyment, which
makes the others seem like prisons,
from which are barred out '.ho bright
sunshine and the breezes laden with the
fragrance of fruit and Mowers and the
song of birds.
Nor i? ii pleasant home and pleasant
surroundings all dial farm lifo can
Offer to tho young man to-day. The
work of progress has begun, and who
shall fay thai it is to be checked. To
ouo wlto strives to excel in any
branch ol agriculture, there seems to
bo as much "r?Ora at the top" as in any
of the professions. To originate or in
troduce a new and better breed of
animals or fowls or variety of fruit or
vegetables, or some, new method of in
creasing production or lessening labor
may give both fame and wealth to the
farmer, as it already has done for
some.
We know not why one with ambition,
energy and perseverance should not
now have an much to hope for and ex
pect as those in other walks of life.
The farmer to-day is not a peasant,
crushed by toil; nor an ignorant man,
fit companion only for tho bonsts of
burden. Ho may boast himself tho
??jual of any other man, not only it.
vhat ho does for I ho world, but what
10 is in the world.

COTTON GUOWEHS PllODLKM.
Manufacturera' Record.
Mr. N. U. Hutchinson, of ^Grange,
secretary of the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers' Protective Association, explains
iho object of the organization as fol-1
lows.
"There is a movement now at work
in tliis Stale, und heilig organized in
other Stales of the South, the object
of Which is to secure to the planters of
cotton a profit on their expenditure and
investment. We are impressed that
under no circumstances ought the pro
ducers of cotton be forced to take less
for their product than its cost. After
the cotton leaves the planters' hand.-,
a profit is made by every other class of
business interested in its handling.
Now, why should the planler, who has
the first chum in the matter, often be
placed in a position that Iiis principal
money crop brings him in not a cent of
prolit, but, on the contrary, is often a
source of actual loss to the man who
raises the stuff ? This is all wrong,
and a proper system, which can be es
tablished only by organization, will lift
the planter out of these diOlcullicSand
give to him a share of the profit aris
ing from this great staple. The average
Condition of the men who nr 'l engaged
in making COtlOU is lamentable. In a
great many sections of the South I he
better element of lb1' people have loft
the country on account of the poor re
turns of tannin'; as a business, but
handle the staple as wisely as other
lines of business are handled, and many
who are now squeezing a poor living
from a small salary will go into the
country and help lo build up the farm
lands, make money, improve the char*
acter of the people who reside in the
! rural districts, and I'nis strengthen the
j foundation of all business affairs in the
South. We claim thai nothing that 0011?
fronts the South at this time possCSCS
so rauch iinporlauco as this movement.
As a people we arc strong only as ev
ery olemont of our business structure
is strong; being an agricultural people
mainly, we are weak in proportion as
this elass of our population is weak.
"We will thank you to gl VO tho effort
a lift; show the immense amount of
capital engaged In iliis line of work,
and the gain to the planters especially
and to the business of all other classes
in our section at the same time, if well
directed energies are enlisted in the
cause of the raw cotton ol' the South.
"A prolit OO the cost of producing
cotton is what wc arc working lor in
Hits movement, and wc believe that ev
I cry man and journal in this section can
I do nothing that will pay so handsome
I Iv as to work, and work hard, for ibis
organ izatlon.
Willi many olhora who have at heart
tho welfare of lltu coilon growois as
representing a basic elcniont of South
ern wealth, and who have carefully and
hopefully studied the many movements
In recent years intended for the bettor
meni of raisers of the staple, the Man
ufacturers' itccord is Inclined to doubt
the practicability of organi/.ttlions cx
pccled to induce co-operation of the
farmers in ihc handling of such an im
mense crop as cotton. The experiment
has been made so many limes ami with
such a lack of success that naturally it
is looked upon as rather a hopeless Ull
dertakiug. This objection might not
be insurmountable did it not have be
hind it certain plain explanations. The
crop is raised under varying circum
stances and by widely dilVerenl classos
of nu n by no means allied in sym
pathies, in ten or eleven States and two
Territories. That situation makes it
extremely dillleult, if not impossible,
to organize for any purpose cotton
growers who are an important member
ship of the class, the faimeis ol the
country , least susceptible of all to the
organization idea. Tins is the great
block in Ihi' w;u . and il cannot be re
moved b\ conventions which, loo
frequently for the welfare of the agri
culturists, have rapidly degenerated in
lo mere arenas for the display of (he
peculiar talents of wily politicians or
other self seekers, and which have led
practical men to become exceedingly
chary of the convention idea. The
path of Southern history ol the past
generation is strewn with the
resolutions of such convention resolu
tions which have had no weight
whatever with the greal mass
of cotton growers. The contentions,
however, may have had some influence
in arousing interest from lime to tune
in measures and methods which must
i.e. adopted, not by convention resolu
tions, bill by individual resolves stuck
to persistently, if the condition of the
growers is lo be improved pel niaiiciilly.
At the head ol these suggestions
stands the policy id' living at home lo
the utmost ability. Farmers have been
urged, und to some effect, to raise their
home supplies first, and to devote, onlv
their surplus time, labor and expense
to cotton. The accumulation of ills of
many years, due to devotion to the
one-crop idea, almost a necessity al the
close 0? the war, may for a lime prevent
many cotton growers from sparing en
ergies for raising food foi'tllOil families
and Iced for their stock. Hut it is
possible lor many otllOlS to do so.
These must not be guided by what
their lops fortunate neighbors may do
01' l>y the plans of growers in regions
where more, virgin soil diminishes
temporarily the cost of raising iho
staple, and may to a small degree ap
pear tO justify adherence to the old
policy. In the end Iho greater numbor
of farmers must be brought into the
ranks of independence. Such a con
dition will be Induced not by organiza
tion, but by individual effort alone.
In the meantime another opportunity
is being presented to the growers in
Iho establishment of bonded ware
houses, Us owners may secure at rea
sonable rates, with their win ( house
receipts as where cotton may be. safely
stored, while security, the money need
ed for immediate uses. The help given
to Georgia fanners by their bankers
during the season just closing sharply
indicates the immense advantages to
be derived from a closer union of the
local financiers and the growers of cot
ton in the development ol the Ware
house system,
Finally, the farmers will ho ?liroctly

ICLEMKNTS or PLANT FOOD.
All Tai nu r.s .should know Hint there
are but fourteen elements necessary to
make the plant, and that plants arc
necessary to make all animal Hie, un
less it he the very lowest. The four*
teen elements thus referred to are car
bon, hydrogen, oxygon, nitrogen, phos
phorus, manga nose (?), sulphur, cal
cium, ehlonne inagcsiuin, silicon, so
dium, iron, potassium. It is asked.
"Do food-plan(8 and poisonous plants
owe their formation to the same ele
ments ?'' Here is the interesting an
swer made. "This is, indeed, the
most OXncI (ruth: fourteen elements,
always fourteen, produce poisonous
plaids, food plants, dyes -in a word,
the totality ol vegetation."
"How is such a result possible ? The
work of a printing ollicc will give Ihc
explanation. A language is composed
of many thousands of words. In what
manner can these words lie formed V
For us with twenty-six letters com
bined in various manners. Very well,
the vegetable kingdom is like a lan
guage ol which each plant is n different
word, of whic h the fourteen dements
ate the alphabet. The properties of
plants do not depend on the nature of
the elements, hut on the different
order hi which Ihcy arc combined.''
Tin fourteen elements jti-t named
are. divided into two classes, mineral
ami organic The organic elements art!
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
A key can be made by combining the
following with the foregoing that will
open (o many farmers, lor the li-st
tune, some ol the most important truths
of agricultural science truths that can
be irado of great practical value:
"Among the mineral elements, of
the ten found in the plant, there are
seven which the fanner docs not need
to supply to the soil; it contains tllCIU
just as the sea contains -all; there is
therefore no need to offer it what it al
ready possesses in superabundance.
From elimination lo elimination this
Conclusion i- arrived at, thai all plants
are formed of fourteen elements in?
variably united, ami that if we restore
to the soil the nitrogen, the phosphoric
acid, the potassia, and the time which
the plant has taken away, it will never
become exhausted. The caith contin
ues to return fourteen if it is given
four. It realizes tie- mystery ol the
multiplication of the loaves, and agri
culture remains the only creative
I industry."
Those people who do not regard the
value ol'the poultry products of this
country as anything of importance
should pay ultciuii :i lo tin fact recent
ly published as in what has boon ac
complished by tlie homely hen out in
Kansas. A few weeks ago a man from
Manchester, New Hampshire, who
seems to have both nervi- and money,
went OUt to Hutchinson, where he
heard there was a large i|Utu;tily of eggs
collected, and bought in one lot, one
hundred ami IIfly carloads, act Ording to
the Statement ol tl Kansas paper. How
manyido7.cn there woro, no otn has told;
hid il seems they ate almost beyond
computation in number. The amount
paid for the lot was over $200,000. At
10 cents ado/en the number would have
been two million do/en. The eggs ate
now in cold storage and will he hi Id
till next winter before being marketed.
A poach grower near OoorgOtOWIl,
Del., plolCClcd his trees from the dep
redations of fruit thieves this summer
by conspicuously displaying ibis legend
011 signs nailed to the fence surround
ing his orchard: "Caution! This
Fence is SlK'inOUIllcd by a Five Flcc
tric Wire!" The wire could be seen on
lop of lh(! fence, strung on glass in
sulators, ami no one attempted to med
dle with it; but now that be has market
ed his crop tlie owner admits that it
was a "dummy."
Tho p roll la of a farm arc usually more
than tin actual cash received for pro
duce. The fanner takes Iiis living ex
penses as well as the cost of production
before In; decides upon the amount of
(he profit. The inert haul lakes only the
difference bei ween the buying and
sidling price, less the cost of the Irans
saction, and then lives on the profit.
Tho question id' "does the farm pay?"
depends largely upon what is taken
from i oilier than the cash received.
