AS VIEWED BY A LEGISLATOR. General Assembly Has Done Very Little As Yet Tbe Lien Law Devitalized. Editor County Record:? As there are a good many people in our county who don't take any other paper than The Record, will give you a few dois as to what we are doing up here. The General Assembly has now been in session two weeks and has done very little of general importance up to the present time. A3 a member expressed it, we are going to spend a good deal of our time "galloDinc over the State.'' r?o We have already visited llock Hill and 011 the 2Gth will go to Charleston and on the 2sth inst to Clemson College, all of which is very nice and cannot be objected to on account of expense to the State, as the members are now paid a salary instead of a per dieni. But we farmers would like to get away from here, as our presence at home is very much needed at this time. The session will probably last at least forty days. The fact is, Mr Editor, we have toe much law,anyway, and I see no reason why we should not have gotten through in thirty days. The House has killed the bill tc prohibit the taking of mortgages on crops until after they are up and growing,and the simple repeal of th( lien law is not worth a row of pins. The Senate and the House will meet to-morrow for the purpose oi electing Judges of the circuit court and directors of the penitentiary. The State-wide prohibition jbil has been introduced and all the olc straw has got to be threshed ove: again. We were in hopes the matte: would not be brought up again a this session and let our successors who will come here next year, fresl from the people, do what they thinl best for the State.

Farmers are preparing their lands for planting. Grey Eyes. Twelve Things to do In January. [ (I) Start the year like a busi-j ness mail. Take Jan inventory of j your property, and begin an ac-; I curate account of receipts and expenses. > (2) See that all 19<>9 debts are promptly cleared off. There was i never a better time to get even with j the world and then stay so. ? (:3) No land should be bare in i winter, but if any is without cover I crops, plow in readiness for spring ; planting. (4) See that all stock and I poultry are properly sheltered. t Shelter is cheaper thau feed, t (5) Send for catalogues of dealers in improved seeds, implements and 1 machinery. Plan to grovr more pro 1 ductive varieties of all crops and r cultivate with all possible cheap r horse power instead of expensive t hand labor. , (6) Set about getting an improved 1 breed of poultry, hogs and cattle [ this year. (7) Clean up the sprouts and brush and fill up the gullies that separate your patches and unite them in great broad, evenly culti, vated fields. I (8) Don't go crazy about the old s line "money crops." There is money in corn and bay and cattle as well as cotton and tobacco. (9) Drain that wet place on vour farm. It will probably be the most 1 fertile spot you have. (10) Map out a scheme for yourj e whole farm, indicating the crops to go in each field, all arranged with due regard to the value of rotation.; e (11) Keep in health by using warm a clothiDg, fresh air in sleeping 2 rooms, moderation in eating, and prompt attention to colds. Let patent medicine3 alone. (12) See your county school j superintendent and co-operate with him in organizing boys1 corn clubs in your county.?Raleigh (JV. C.) Progressive Farmer and (iazette.

' E Hardly! I j: Well, did it ever occur to you that when you use lumpy, bndiv mixed fertilizers you are putting* this same proposition up to your crops?offering ther.j plant food in such >, shane that thev can't tret to it ? ti Fertilizers, to do your crops any good, must dissolve in the soil waters. These are constantly in motion, rising to the surface during the day and sinking at night?passing and repassing the roots of the plant, which absorb the food contained in the water?and this is the only way in which the plant can feed. Therefore, whfn you buy fertilizer, you should do so with the idea of furnishing food for your crop and on the same principle that you should purchase food for your stock. It should not only contain the necessary Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid and Potash, but above all else these should be in soluble form?the mechanical condition of the fertilizer should be such as to permit the plant to absorb every particle of it, and the goods should be manufactured from materials that will not give up their plant at r>np tim#> hut furnish a steadv suddIv throughout the entire growing season. This is the fertilizer 3'ou should have and can ffet? in only one way. It is impossible to produce a goods like this by the dry-mixing of raw materials, whether you do this at home with a shovel and a screen or buy it from someone who has made it the same way?the only difference being in the quantity. These materials must be ground to a powder, and it requires machinery costing thousands of dollars to do it properly. They must then be so manipulated that when complete, you have a compound, each ounce of which is exactly like every other ounce, and not a mixture, one part of which would contain too much Ammonia and too little Potash, while another part would be exactly the opposite?and all of it contain plant food locked up and not available. * Remember that the chemical analysis of fertilizer is no test of its crop growing qualities. The chemist can pulverize lumps and by the use of various means search out the plant food ; your crop can't. You can take an axe, break open the box and get the corn; your mule can't.
