“Much your doctor can help the dead !’’
And so we took him andbrought him where
The balm was sweet on the summer air ;
And we laid him down on a wholesome bed.

Skeleton boy against skeleton death.

Spoke of the spirit that would not die.
And didn’t! nar. more! in death’* despite
The crippled skeleton learned to wri'e !

Little Uitfe" was up an t away.
A tear—his first—as be bale goal-dye.
Dimmed tne glint of his sied-hlue eye ;
••I’ll write, if spared.” There was news of

Of the princely knights ot the Golden Ring,

And the tender leg nd that trembles here.

The whitest *oul of my chivalry.

Thought* for the Month-
[From the March Cultivator.]
* By th** fliRt of this month every
farmer should have determined
what crop* he will plant and the
respective areas he will devote to
each crop. To tbot>e who sincerely
desire to profit hy these monthly
‘•ThoogbtB*we suggest a re-reading
of the article for Feitraary, particu
larly the first column on page 50
as a reminder ot any good resolves
that may have been inspired by the
first reading. As a wise man, in
building a house, determines be-
foiebaud the si.e and arrangement
of the rooms, the adaptation of all
to the purpose in view, and count*
the cost before he lets out the con
tract ; so a wise farmer will doub -
less determine what be wishes to
Secure by his year’s operations, the
best menus of accomplishment, and
the adaptation of means to ends.
It is not too late, even now, to re
model plans and correct palpable
enorsiu Ibe apportionment of areas.
Bear in mind that the essential ob
ject is to tuake a living, and that
the most direct means to the at
tammeut of an object is generally
the best, Recall the mistakes ot
last year, the embarrassments ot
losses that were thereby caused,
and resolve to avoid tbe one and
be free from tbe other this year.
PLANTING COEN.
Th" corn pianiing season in the
cotton 8tates xtends trmu the first
ot February to the first of May. so
varied is the climate of so large a
territory ; but March is the main
month Hence, we give special at
lection to tbe subjeci in this tium
her. As com am. cotton are th**
two dominating crops, the land on
each farm will becou-ideied mam
iy with reference to adaptation to
these crops. Experience teaehes
that storms, drouths and unlavora-
ci ream stances generally are mne
potent in their influence on the
yield ot cotu ilian on h“ yield ot
cotton. This is esp* 'c ally true on
poor sods. On such sods a sevete
diouth some imes cits oft' the yield
of co n one hal f , three tounhs, or
even almost totally. Drouth is a
great enen y of the eorn crops. The
cnnelu-iou is H at the low ly ing,

poor lands to cotton.
But we presiim m< st f riitets
have uiiidi- then a Intmcu'sot field
to lie p anted in com. anti are only
awaiting the anival ot the time to
plant. When is the time to plantf
Some wait for Certain bods to
“swell,” certain trees to blossom,
or for a warm, dry sp'll alter a
certain day. It is claimed that tbe
early planted makes the heaviest
corn, and the most certain cr p.
The early planted fields will come
into silk and tassel earlier than the
late planted, but not much earlier,
especially if the early planted en
counters bad weather. On tbe
whole, we think tbe best rule is to
plant when the i-round is dry
enough to plow well, and at the
date which past experience shows
to have generally given best re
sults. Temperature of tbe air or
ground need uot be cousideied
Corn that is planted on a day when
tbe ground is irozeu in the morn
ing will be as apt to do well as if
the day were as balmy as May, It
is the character of the weather that
prevails during tbe second and
third week after planting tbe seed,
which determines the stand and
the vigor of the young plants Corn
requires from ten day s to two weeks
to come op when planted iu the
spring; and it is a matter of little
moment wbe'hej the gronud is
warm or not on the very day of
planting. It the period of the year
has arrived when we may resaooa-
bly expect a suitable temperature
for germination within next f uror
five days, ora week, and the gronud
is not too wet to plow, let the seed
be planted. It is probable that tbe
weather will be better in the next
two weeks when it is bad at any
given date, and the second week is
the more important of the two.
How to plant. We do »ot be
believe iu water-furrows planting
early in the spring, however advis-
ab'e la'er on The planting often
cannot b** done so early on ajcounr
of tbe soggy condition of the sub
soil (water furrows), ami the heavy
spring rains are nore d unagi-ig to
a voting crop in tbe wa'er farrow,
besides other reasons. We prefer
break ng the laud into fiat beds
with a deep, open water furrow be
tween, planting in a deep furrow
Opened along the middle of the be 1
and covering shadow. This gives
better drainage, a ticher surround
ing soil, and greater immunity from
damage by tbe frequent heavy
rains of spring.
It is surprising that farmers so
often overcrowd the laid wH.
plants in the face of experience.
On Ian I that will make ten to tweu
ty bushels |>er acte with averag-
st-asons. an allowance ot eijiteeit
to twenty one square feet to etch
stalk is not too much. This will
permit ot a greater concentration
of manure to the hill, and const*
queiit bet'er deve opmeut of indi
vidual stalks and ears. Allowing
one hundred stalks for each bU'hel
of coru the land is expected to yield,
we have the following calculations :
Planted 4x4 feet, there would b •
2,722 plants t er acre; yield 27 uush
els. Planted 4ix4i. or 4x5. would
give 2,178pl-tuts; ynld. 21 78 bush
els. Planted 4xti, 1,812 plants.
18.12 bushels. The ce ebrated Da
vid Dick on gave 7x3i feet ou up
lands capable of producing 25
bushels. Not su acre should be
planted in coru that will not of
itself, or with the manure available
yield at least ten or twelve oiisoels
of corn—twenty would be a better
rule. The most glaring of all our
mistakes is tbe contiaued annual
cultivation of acres, the yield ot
which with rhe most favorable sea
sons will not pay expenses. Multiply
the number ot such acres until half
the whole ateaiu cultivation is em
braced, until half of a State is iu
eluded, and is it any wonder that
such farmers are in a depressed
condition f
SWEET POTATOES.
This is one of our peculiar South
ern products tb it is not properly
appreciated. We are prone to fol
low alter Northern or foreign prac
tices and adept their special crops
tor special purposes, when we hav
better at home. English and North
eru farmers grow ttun'ps for stock
because tneir c ini tie is sui ed to
turnips and not suited to aueet po
Latoes. They ai o grow Irish pn-
atoes hecauf-e they can grow ihem
more sneo ssfully th u the sweet
potatoes. The sweet potato as
known in the South, is a b ou th «t

but only an eu atg 0, < ndeigiotlml

lines not take nourishment ftotu
the soil directly, bu’ tbr> ugh the
stem attachment. A small potato
will make nearly as m.tm draws as
a targe one, and m tn\ more ot them
may be placed iu a bed.
For (tedding select a sunny ex-
posure. Mark out a lied tour feet
wide, and length sufficient. Uover
the space marked out with any
go >d, well-rotted manure, if the
soil be not already rich, and dig it
in with a spading loik. Rake
smooth and then deposit tbe sound,
small potatoes regularly over the
surface, no nearer than the width
of the finger. Press them uniform
ly into the soil by placing a thick
board over them and the necessary
avrudupois. Cover with light sur
face soil to the uniform depth of
the second joint of tbe forefinger.
If covered shadow the plants will
not promptly throw out fibrous
roots, and many of them when slip-
i ted from the parent potatoes wilt
lave no roots at all.

(G«n. Kennedy, in Chnrletton Sun.)

John D. Kennedy, United States
consul general to China, has just
received a letter from that gentle-

It contains a lively deooription of
DARLINGTON, .8 C.* THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1888.
(iu the sens.* of the most populous)
Empire iu the world, and a running
comment ou political matters, both
iu rhia city anti national, that, para
doxical as it may seem, are timely,
notwiths anding the length •>{ time
elapsed since it was written and
which was necessary for it to have
accomplished the great distance
between thia and the Celestial Em
pire. We give some extracts which
will prove ofes teoial interest to our
leaders at this time.
“I bad a tup up the Yang tse-
kiang iu December, just before
Christmas, and enjoyed it very
much. I went as far as Han-Kow,
600 miles, where 1 stayed three
days, and then t wo days at Cbin-
Kiaog.
They are both large cities and
we have consulates at them. It is
a mighty river, the third orfou th
in the world, anti for the volume of
water that pouts down it for so
mitiy huu reds of miles probably
the first. Then, too, it hi tbe main
artery that drains a country in
which 100.000,000 of people live.

read theaccouiitsof histonr through
eighteen States, and was struck
with the absence of ill-timed speech
es aud toolisb actions ou the part
of bn h ot them. If the Democratic
party commits uo acts of lolly at
this session of Congress, I don’t see
bow they are to he put out of power.
I am not a civil service reformer to
the extent, possibly, that tbe Presi
dent is, but hs he is charged with
tbe tesponsibiiitiex of the office he
probably kuows better than out
