Though some of the infoimation . , cent allied In ihia article comes too late for the farmers to profit by it in planting oats this year, most of It can be utilized by tuem ; lor other V ' crops hereafter we will endeavor to give results of experiments as scou as they are concluded. We will begin ear review of ex periments with those made with oats; that beiug the first crop plasted and harvested. For which experiments, fourteen plats of land lying together, and as nearly equal astosoil'Hnd condition as it Wss possible to get them, were selected; twelve of the plats contained one ha f acre, and two ouu fourth of an tch, the experiment i»C duplicated—thaV^s two plats nut contiguous were in aim ml in exact ly the same wav, to two of the plats no manure was applied, to the oth er twelve different kind> and quan tities of manure were applied. The result was determined by weighing the oata ft om each pis', iu the straw and sbtal, then threshing and weighing the grain. Plat No. 12. Half acre, seeded January 31, 1888, uo manure, made smalbst yield, vie: 158 1 2 lbs iu the •traw, 72 11m of seed, at rate o( Only 4 12 bushels per acre. Plat No. 7.

The above will give a good id«-a of what maunres made the largest - yield of oats, and we will now take ■p the experiments with com. For experiments with coru 140 plats of one-twentie'b of an sere •ach were selected, and as iu the oata the experiments were dupli : cated, the rysult was determined by dotting down the stalk iu the fall with the fodder aud corn on it ■ad weighing it, aud then shuck ing the corn und weighing that, it was found by actual test that sev- '■nty pounds of shucked corn made •boat oue bushel shelled corn. A* of the com waa planted titute proper comparisons ss every one will .readily ssa. Plat No. 36. 1.20t.i of an sore, planted April 19tb, chocked 6x3, no missing bills.

Why the Williamsburg Representa tives Voted tow the New Countv- Some ot the good people ot Wils liamsburg County are taking their Bepn sentatives to task for voting in favor ol the New County Bill at the last moment, alter having (mmmi instructed by their cousiitueuts to oppose it.

The brief outline given above will afford some idea of tbe opera tions conducted at the Station dar ing the past year. An account of the cotton experiments, which are, if iKMsible, even more interesting, will be given in the next issue. 1 will now proceed to give the reasons which influenced me in the matter, aud when they have been read aud understood, 1 think the people of Wjiijamaburg will not feel like ^rising in their might and condemning her Representatives," bnt instead have just cause for con gratulating us. aud rejoicing with us, iu lo>-iug to little of her territory. Aud jnst here let me say, that no man is the couuty regrets having to lose any portion of our territoiy moie than 1 do The territory em braced in the new coumy of Flor ence, a* it passed the Legislature, is taken ircni tbe following man- lies iu about tiiis proportion, (tbe figures for Darlington and Marion are only approimate, as I do not remember correctly the exact fig ures) Marion 300 square miles, Darlington 262, Williamsburg 28, and Clareudou 38 aqua! .....1, iu sh u-'» square miles, 3 miles more than enough, under tbe constitution, lor forming a uew county. All three of tbe last nam ed counties, through their Repre- sentaiives, opposed that new conn- ;y of course. While the whole of ;be Marion delegation lavored it Late in the stasiou, after the Sen ate bad passed the bill, and car delegation still holding < ut against ts passage, we became possessed of information of a plsn that was reing developed by the Darlington delegation, which had for its ob ect tbe resarvey ot the new conn ty of Florence, by which survey Darlington whs to give up less of her tejritory, by 150 miles, aud supply the deficiency from William lurg. It being argued by at least oue of tbe Darlington- ni'-rn'icr.-, taat as Darliugtou had only been 1S00 and 1,000 square miles, and Williamsburg between 1,100 ami 1,200 square miles, Williamsburg pouid better aflmd to supply the territory, and besides in the new survey Darlington would regain a large portion of her railroad prop erty that was tbeu included u the present survey. There was not a w of the me mtiers ot tbe House, who would not have accepted that view of tbe question. Of course had this plan developed sufficiently to have caused the bill a defeat in tbe House tbis session, all objectious to (he uew couuty wou d lave been withdrawn, except from Williams burg, wbo would have had tbe abide battle to fight, with no pros pect w hatever of success. Under toiler thereat'ei, thn OoubdiTate suivivorssiiHll meet iu convention at the coart h<>nse und elect by ballot five of thiir number who shall constitute a board of pension commissioners, “who slisll meet with them examine the pension roll of such Coiillt\ .uid elect therefrom such number* ut the most neeu\ applicsnte as will i>e sufficient to consume'the appropriation lor such county, allowing to each applicant the r-nm of'63 per month from such appropriatiou”—having regard to the “physi».iL condition aud the finanoia|.|m^|ts ol such applicant."

The statistics ot the Baptist Denomination in South Oaroliua for the year 1888 make a showing tor the Welsh Neck Associa'ion which should be a source of grati ficatiou to every member of it and to every citizen of South Uarolina.

(Mario* Sur.) The law in regard to pensions lor disabled Gonfederate veterans ia changed apmowlist from what it was last year. It whs found that the law op ned the way for loo large an expenditure—tbe amount required rescuing a hundred thon> •and, instead of fifty thousand. Under the new law the expendi tures ere limited to 650,000, end the monthly pension i* reduced from 65 to 63. Under the new law a county ex amining board is provided for, to be composed, as tbe Act says, of ' “two reputable citizous thereat and The Wit ot Dialert.

Changing night into day and day hito \ night is one of the results of modern high j civilization. No one can give any good reason for tbe absurd change. The more wealthy and cultivated most people be come, the larger is the portion of the night that is devoted to intellectual labor and amusements, and tbe smaller the i part given to sleep. The larger the pop ulation of a place, the later Is die time ! for rising and retiring. Farmers rise while it is still dark, have breakfast at day dawn, and are out in tbe fields at sunrise; village people are an hour or two later in all these things, and those ' who live tn cities are several hours later. , The first English parliament, like a coun try prayer meeting, convened at “early candle lighting." Year by year the time i of meeting was postponed till midnight ! was tbe hour for assembling. A reform was then thought necessary, and It now meets at a somewhat seasonable hour in tho evening.

The men who acquired great distinc tion in England in a picvi< >us age were early risers.

A green land, with pollards on its leas; long beds of river grass waving tall plumed heads by the canals for miles or mowed down and stacked for thatching; bright little cottages, and small children in tight night caps and sabots. Peasants stopping their plows to look at the train, and wearing flat caps, blue shirts and black corduroys. We are now in a land of blouses and caps. Along raised grassy dykes long green carts are being briskly pulled by pairs of long tailed horses. I always like these certs, with their carved rail tilting np picturesquely behind, and tho short green prow tn front which the driver guides this aide or that, while the harness replaces shafts. About Middle- burg little white bouses nestle cosily under such enormous rfed peaked roofs that the green landscape fairly glows. And now, twice, tbe sea seems to close in upon our narrow causeway, while flat green meadows so merge with low, gray waters that ia tne distarce one ran hardly distinguish between there.

Holes bored in tho outer sides, formed by the vessel’s bull, admit the sea water, and os the smack moves along the water circulates through the “well. ’ The fish are thrown into this “well” as they are hauled In and remain in their native element until the smack rune into the Fulton Market slip.
