Is it not an toellent rule to be always prepar- I for the worst, though hoping for >e beet! Don’t yon think now, view of your extended eotton >ld, with tbek clean, bare surfaces ady to be washed away, and their ils leached by the winter rains, at yon planted rather too mneh ittou ! Would it net have been dtej to have rested some of the nd yon cultivated! It is quite markable that ia n country iu biefa population ia ao sparse, and nd so sopernbandant, we are anx ns to utilize every foot of It every mr as in countries where popula mi is very dense and the lend can urdly suppert it Onr Judgment tKM- if half the open land in the inntry was rested every year (ab- date rest, not sown in grain) as inch would be made on the half iltivated as is now made on the bole. Have the arrangements yon *dop- id last winter and spring to pro- ent the washingoi your laud prov- dsuccesstnl! Didn’t yon make in the early sprite, 1 the usual big rainfalls sor, and did not theae rains striks them before they had time to get compacted or' get a growth of any kind upon them to bind and bold them, and did not they get badly washed away ! Would it not be better to make terraces on land when it is resting or in stable, snd da the work in the fall or early win ter, so that the terraces may get settled and firm before the heavy spring rains; and would it not be well to sow the t lerrsces in rye or wheat, as soon as they are piade, and get a growth upon them at once! If terraces freshly made in snbbls land should give way under heavy rain, the* land would not wash, because it Is oompaor and held by roots. Bat when terraces are made in spring, and the land between ploughed, as is generally the case, the washing becomes ex cessive and disastrons if heavy rains prevail. Ws have found that on old land, in which washes have aleeady started, it is extremely difH cult to get terraces well established withoht the* aid of some hillside ditches. Onr practice in each cases is to run ditches jnst as one would do if be did not have terracing in view, and then lay off terraces jnst as if there were no ditches present —of course jumping over and not filling the ditches where the terra ces cross them. After the terraces become well established snd both incipient snd old gnllies are entire ly filled np, the ditches may be fill ed up if one thinks he can control the water without them, % On very rolling land, where the disposition to wash is very great, we find it beat sometimes to ran short second ary ditches between tbe regular ditches. A secondary ditch will run across from one ditch to tbe next below, starting jnst below the dam of tbe first and emptying into tbe oue below. Placed just above an incipient wash a small second ary ditch will assist materially in stopping it We cannot join the ardent advocates of terracing in wholesale dennuciationa of hillside ditches. We find tbe latter, at times, very naefnl—nay almost in- dispensible. If one starts with fresh laud, and there is no uncultivated slope above from which water may flow down udon it, terraces alone may answer, bat on old lands where washes have already started these may be arrested and permanently stopped by a judicious combination of ditches and terraces with more ease snd more qnickly than by ter races alone. Terraces are some times made too narrow; a strip, at least two feet wide, in tbe mid dle of them should not bedistnrbed by the plow, but left firm and com pact to reaist tbe washing action of water. After tbe terrace is well established it may be reduced iu width it deemed advisable. Can a good part of tbe leisure time be tween this and spring be better spent than in devising ways and putting into execution means to prevent tbe washing away of onr soils! All admit this is tbe very foundation of successful farming, and yet we go on from year to year pursuing methods which facilitate the washing away of the soil aud hardly ever stopping and taking time to arrest. What is done iu this direction is moat frequently done in a hurried snd imperfect manner in tbe spring when heavy rainfalls startle us from onr lethar gy by their destructiveness. In sections where grains aud grassos soustitute the prevailing crops these difficulties do not con front farmers. We scarcely ever see an allnsiou to the washing away of soils in Northern or Western ag ricultural journals. At tbe Sooth, the trouble Ilea at tbe door of eot ton and tobacco—laud-destroying, labor-demanding crops—bow they have cursed and bow they still corse our apricnltnrel Strange paradoxes; where tbe labor prob lem is most difficult and embarrass ing, we raise crops which call for most labor; wberesnmmer droughts are most disastrous, we rely chiefly on summer crops; where winter rains are most copious and destroe- tive, we keep onr lauds bare through the winter that they may be wash ed away and their fertilitity de- stioyed by leaehing; is a climate admitting tbe greateat variety of production, onr crops are few in number and we are baying almost everything, when we ought to pur- chase almost nothing. Beoently we have taken advan tage of the comparative leisure on tbe farm to do something towards stopping washes. In man? places found little wishes started on tbe upper side of ditches. Onr prac tice for some years has been to leave an anplowed strip three ot four feet wide along the apper margin of ditches to stop washes and filter oat the dirt coming down from above. It- works admirably, bat sometimes, notwithstanding this preeantien, little washes have start ed. Wa bad a hand with a wagon load of leaves follow sash ditch on stubble land aad throw loaves ia each wash, aad where roeke were convenient, pat some of them at lower end of wash to hold the leaves in plaoeu In tbe abaenae of rooks a few stobs may be driven neross the month. Leaves not only catch and bold dirt, bat enrich the spot, and next year grass and weeds will spring up in tbe wash and filter oat the dirt passing through them. A very little work of this kind every summer will keep a farm in • excel lent condition. It should be done in summer or autumn so as to be ready for the winter rains; not iu spring after those rains have done their destructive work. We have also been constructing some barricades across s branch bottom, having considerable fall, to prevent the scouring effects of hea vy freshets. The narrowest imiuts between converging bills were se lected for their sites. At one point where a wagon road was desired a broad dam of rocks was built across from two points of equal altitude on each side of tbe branch and a high bridge built across the latter. Ac other points two rows ot stakes, some three feet apart, were firmly driven in the ground, and the space between them filled with brush aud logs. Ourpurptse is next spring, to drive willow stobs alongs tbe line ot these barracades, and let them grow np to trees, and thus form living and permanent barra cades to oatoh and hold trash and dirt Work of this kind mast be done; tbe power of water is very great, and unless tbe stakes are strong snd driven deeply in tbe ground, tbe whole is liable to be swept sway. It is well to have a small crow bar aud prepare deep holes to receive the stakes, which is easily done by jobbing the bar down, shaking it backwards and forwards, aud repeating this a few rimes. In oonnoction with this matter of preserving tbe soil, we venture to repeat a suggestion made in the Cultivator several years ago: That fields be laid off iu strips (horizontal) from twenty to fifty yards iu width, aud these al- terately sown down aud cultivated. Washes started iu a cultivated strip would be promptly arrested by the uncultivated strip below it. A vast deal could be accomplished by this simple arrangement toward tbe preservation of the soil, and now that the pasturing of grain fields is being largely abandoned, there is no objection to adopting it. We cannot too often or too emphatical ly stress tbe point, that clean cul ture is tbe main cause of the red, gullied hills sonth of tbe Potomac. Will our readers pardon us for again urging the great imitortance of seeding down our bare fields! if they have no faith in their abili ty to raise grass, or have no s;>ecial nse foi that crop, they can sow rye. and it is not yet too late to do that. On average laud aud tor tbe pur- pose now in view, a half bushel of seed lo tbe acre will suffice, and tbe small outlay will be returod mani fold iu tbe improvement of the laud. With peas as a summer renovating crop, and rye as a winter one, we have the best of facilities for bring ing up our worn aud wasted soils. Towards tbe last of the month wheat sowing will be in order ij tbe northern sections of tbe cotton belt. It is well to realize the fact that onr climate is not the best for wheat, and that it should not therefore be made a leading crop But while this is trne, by judicious selection of variety, and of suitab'e soils, with proper preparation and mau- nring, enough wbea' for home sup ply can be raised. First as to va rieties We must discard tbe hand some but tender white wheats, aud take those of tbe Mediterranean type—red, bearded kinds, which seem at home iu warm climates, I be good bouaewife will have to yield a little on tbe score of white floor; it will be none tbe less nutri tions or palatable. In tbe next place, tbe highest and dryest knobs aud knolls should be selected. No matter if poor; make np for that by manure. There is very little laud rich enough to bring wheat without manure anyway If it has been sown in peas, so mnob tbe better; there ia no better crop to precede wheat than peas, unless it be elo- ver. Tarn toe peavines under not very deep, and then barrow tbe land several times. Get tbe finest tilth yon can. If cotton seed is used, and there is nothing better, they can be spread on the land be fere it is tamed, bat it will not do to turn them under deeply. If oom mercial fertilizers or eotton seed meal are used, they can be qarrow, ed instead of being plowed in. Af ter the seed is sown, roll the land; this will cause the seed to come np better and more uniformly. Wheat may be sown Irom the 20th of Octo ber to tbe let of December, accord ing to latitude. Tbe tendeney of late years has been to sow too late. About tbe 25tb of tbe month a killing frost usually occurs, and it is well te have everything ready for it, pearinea, forage, hay, etc,, gath- aad boosed. Groaudpeas Groo shoald also be gathered by that time, that tbe tops may be cored as forage, and the gathering of the nuts facilitated. After killing frost the oats qaiskly lose their hold on tbe vines, and are left in the ground when tbe latter are palled ap. Sorghum eat and stowed awsy aa der shelter will-keep green and sweet for a long time, prolonging tbe period of green feed well up to Christmas. Stalks, leaves and heads cat np together we find to be a most excellent feed for cattle. Our people, generally, have not learned yet to appreciate its value as stock feed. We think it superi or to Millo Maize or any other of that class. The amber cane is tbe best variety for this purpose. The sweet potato vine is another good feed, liable now to be rained by frost. As it is almost impossible to cure them, they may be either grazed or polled off and fed. Little damage to thejmtaU) will accrue if this is done after tbe middle of Oct. Everything shoald be in readiness also for digging tbe potatoes. Alter the weather gets cool and vegeta tion ceases active growth, the dig ging may take place at any time when tbe soil is dry. When the vinos aie not led off to stock, the usual practice is to pall them oat of tbe way with a plow This gath ers the vines in heaps at the end of the rows and deprives the land of their fertilizing properties. It would be better to have a tarn plough with sharp, revolving coulter, aud run it on each side of a row so as to out off tbe vines aud bury them in tbe middles. Then with a plow, called a “potato digger,” such as is used by Northern farmers for dig ging Irish potatoes, tbe tubers might be lifted out of the ground with great rapidity and without be ing cut and bruised. Dig iu dry weather after the plant has oeased growing rapidly, put in bills of thirty to ' forty bushels, keep dry, wrap with pine straw and cornstalks six to eight inches thick, aud cover with dirt, increasing the thickness of the latter as the weather gets colder, until it is oue foot thick. At first leave an air hole at top ot hill, say for four or five weeks, then stop it op with diit and cat off all communication with outside air. A shelter over the hill is preferable, though not indispensable, if enough dirt is pnt on the bill, and it is well sloped so as to shed water rapid iy- ^ Bill Nye’s Description of the First Bail Road Train’s Trial Trip. Tbe first train ever operated must have been a grand sight. First came the locomotive, a larae Bab cock tire extinguisher oil trucks, with a smokestack like a toll blown speaking tube with a frill around the top; tbe engineer at his ;>ost in a plug hat, with an umbrella over his bead and bis hand on the throt tle, borrowing a chew of tobacco now and then of the farmers who passed him on their way to town. Near him stood tbe fireman, now aud then bringing in an arintnl ot wood from the fields through which be passed, acd taming tbe damper iu tbe smokestack every little while ao that it would draw. Now aud then he would go forward aud put a pork rind on a hot box or ponud on the cylinder head to warn peo ple off the track. Next oomea the tender loaded with nice, white birch wood, an economical atyle of fuel because its bark may be easily burned off while tbe wood itself will remain uninjur ed. Beside the firewood we find on the tender a barrel of rainwater aud a tall, blonde jar with wick work around it, which contains a small sprig of tansy immersed iu tour gal lons of New England Bum. This tbe engineer has bionght with him for use in case of accident. He is now engaged ia preparing for tbe accident in advance. TgK FRONT BRAKE*AN, Next comes tbe tronk brakemau iu a ping bat about two sizes too large tor him. He also wears a long waisted frock coat with a bus tle to it and a tali shirt collar with a table-spread tic, tbe and* of which flutter gayly in the morning breeze. As the train pauses at tbe first station be takes a hammer out of tbe tool box and nails on tbe tiro of tbe foie wheel of bis coach. The engineer gets down with a long oil can and puts a little sewing machine oil on tbe pitman. He then wipes it off with bis sleeve. Ills now discovered that tbe rear each, containing a number of directors and tbe division superin tendent, ia missing. Tbe conduc tor goes to the rear of tbe laet coach, and finds that the string b> which tbe directors’ car was attach ed is broken, and that, tbe grade being pretty steep, tbe directors and brakeman have no donbt gone back to tbe starting place. Bat tbe conductor is cool. He removes his bell crowned ping bat, and, taking oat bis orders sod time card, be finds that tbe track is elesr and, iookiogat a large, valuable Waterbary wateb, presented to him by a widow whoea husband was run over and killed bv tbe train, he sees be can still make tbe nextetation in tiour for dinner. He biree a livery team to go back alter the directors’ coach, and calling “AH aboard,” be swings lightly upon the moving trsin. MtNETEKT WE AST MILES. It is now 10 o’clock, and nineteen weary miles still stretchout between him and tbe dinner station. Te add to the horrors of tbe eitnarioa, the front brakeman disco vers that a ver/ thirst/ bo/ in (bp emigrant oar ~ ■» . .MM has been drinking from the water- supply tank on the tender, and there’s not enough water left to car ry the train through. Much time is consumed in filling tbe barrel again at a apring near tbe track, but the oooduutor finds a “spotter” on tbe train and geta him to do it. He also indnees him to cut some more wood aud dean out the ashes. Tbe engineer then pulls ont a draw head and begins to make np time. In twenty minutes be has make up an hoar’s time, though two miles of hoop iron are torn from the track behind him. He sails into the eating station on time, and while the master mechanic lakes several of tbe coach wheels over to tbe machine shop to soak, be eats a hurried lunch. Tbe brakeman here gets bis tin lanterns ready for the night run aud fills two of them with red oil to be used on the rear coach. Tbe fire man puts a fresh bacon rind < u tbe eccentric, stalls Home more cotton batting around the ax'es, puts a new lynch pin iu tne bind wheels, sweeps the apple |>eelingg out of tbe smoking car, aud he is ready. Then comes tbe coudnctor, with his plui: hat full of excursion tick ets, orders, passes, and time checks; he looks at his Waterbary wateb, waves bis hand, and calls “All aboard'’ again, it ia ap-grade, bow ever, and for two miles the “spot ter” has to pqsb behind with all bis might before tbs oonduc or will al. low h m to get on aud ride* This began the history of a gigan tic enterprise, which has grown till it is a comfort, and convenience, a luxury, and yet a necessity.—C*»- oago Ncm. He Got His Place. Washington, September 25—* A funny seen was witnessed on Pennsylvania avenue last night. A seedy looking individual, tall fiery- eyed, keen and interesting, was talking in a most demonstrative manner to a friend. “To-day, sir,” said tbe tall man, “I sold all my law hoobsi 1100 worth of law books for $16 By——, sir, sold them to a nigger sir. Sold $100 worth of law books to a nigger. Isn’t that humiliation for a South Carolina Democrat! I have zpt-nt a year aud four months here. I came here soon after Cleveland's inauguration under promise of all tbe leading men of tbe South that 1 should be taken care of. You know my fath er was one ot the highest and best known men in tbe State. His fotb- er was equally highly honored. Onr family is oue of the oldest in the South, and here I am to day, sir, with Slfi iu my pocket aud venge ance iu my heart. I came here a year aud lour months ago with tbe promise of a good place. I was told to wait Again aud again 1 was told to wait only a few days or a week I have been waiting all these weeks aud months A mouth ago Mr. Lamar sent me a note say ing that be had a position tor me iu the Interior Department. I presented uiyseit and learned that 1 was temproi ily to be put on the labor roll, with the prospect of a two thousand dollar place iu the course of a few mouths. Well, that was not particularly inviting to me, a professional man and n man from a family which had never stooped to menial labor, but I took tbe place. What do yon supirose they set me to doing! ^'aibiug spit toons, sir, iu the basemeut—-just like a nigger. By—sir, 1 work ed tor a mouth like a nigger glean ing spittoous, aud that tor $50 a mouth. Yesterday my soul revolt ed against the nauseating task lor once aud for all, aud I determined that I would not submit to such an outrage. To day 1 resigned and to morrow 1 go home. May God strike me dead if 1 ever set foot in this town again ” This incident, drama tic and fanciful as it may appear, is oue that actually occurred. A aotksr Earthquake Fissure, A letter from Pelzer to tbe Green vide Hem says that signs of a dis tnrbaoce by tbe recant earthquake have been discovered in this viciui ty. On tbe faro of Jenkina Majors, font mile# from Pelzer, near T. Z Bicbardson’s, appears a fissure in tbe earth running East aud West Tbe fissure is said to be two inches wide in some places, and can be distinctly traced through a cotton field for some distance, and through a piece of wooded land. Where a tree ia on tbs line of tbe fissnre it will expose tbe roots of the tree, shaking oft tbs dirt from tbe roots. Two ercss fissures of less magnitude appear running in a Southeast direc tion. Mr- Biebaniaou says (bat he ran bis walking cane into tbe fissure in several places and oonld "touch no bottom,” Tbe neighbors first thought it was simply what is knows ss s “dry weather crack” in tbe ground, bat Mr, Bichard sou says it most have been caused by tbe earthquake, as be never saw such a rent In tbe earth before.

This produced a gen eral laugh at Mr. Granger’s expense in the midst oi which be juse and in the most good-natured, pleasant manner said ; “Mr, Syeaker, the gentleman from South Carolina has compared my notes to tbe music ot the bagpipe. True, sir. they are not of so war-iike a character as those of the gentleman, but 1 im agine be will find the difference between the sound of our pijies to arise from the fact that my bag is not quite as full of wind as bis.” Tbe retort had been provoked, the bit was palpable, the effect irresis tible, aud the House enjoyed a hearty laugh, iu which Mr, Pickens had the grace to join.
