Cfo SStafcfcman w? Sombre* WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26. Farm Work for the Month. From the Southern Cultivator. The fanners generally are so nearly supplied with home-raised bread aod meat, and are generally in so much better condition than usual, that it may appear inappropriate to dwell upon the importance of making the most liberal arrangements for an ample supply of everything that can be profitably grown at home. But experience and obser? vation 'v.ve taught us that at just such a juncture as the present, when corn and forage, bacon, etc., are comparatively abundant and cheap, and espaoially when the market price of cotton has been better than usual, and promises to main? tain tts tone, many farmers forget past experience and commence to enlarge cotton areas and reduce the size of corn and oat fields. Planting less corn, they commence stinting their hogs-"hedg? ing*' against a possible bad year for corn. To use a Methodist word, they "backslide" ; to use a still stronger biblical phrase they return to the "wal? low." lt i s the big corn and oat bar vests, the plenty of sleek, well fed horses, the smoke-houses Siled with ba? con and lard-these give the feeling of comfort and satisfaction, of independence ?od prosperity, which does Dot g-eoerally follow a big cotton crop-and a short supply of everything else. We therefore urge every farmer to bold fast aod persevere in the purpose tc be independent. Let us hold on to the advance already made, and redouble cur efforts on the same lines chat have heretofore brought profit, satisfaction and comfort. Don't pitch the corn and j other provision crops on the assumption that it will be a "good year for corn it may not. On the other hand don't count on any advance over the present price of cotton ; it may be lower. What? ever others may do, every farmer should pursue the course that experi? ence-often a severe teacher-has shown to be the best in the long run. Provide for plenty of grain and forage for horses, cattle, hogs and fowls. De? termine to make a plenty of those things that you can produce and must either produce or buy, or live in discomfort. Compost heaps should have been made last month, but if neglected or postponed, the work may yet be done in good time. The longer the heap stauds, when composed of coarse, j rough materials, and kept moist, the better, up to two months, or even long? er. But a mere mixture of cotton seed meal, fine, well rotted stable manure and mineral elements, may be prepared only a few weeks or days before dis? tributing Remember to make the heap of fermenting materials out of doors, fully exposed to rains, but not under the eaves of a building. The mass should be kept decidedly moist until all heat has subsided. It is a matter of no importance that such ma? terials as stable manure, scrapings and other refuse about the yards and lots, be mixed in any particular proportions Get all these together and then mix with the chemicals according to relative quality of each. Most farmers limit their investments in the ingredients that must be purchased according to circumstances. But it is important that the concentrated ingredients, the acid phosphate, potash salts, cotton seed meal, etc., be adjusted in relative quan? tities according to some rule. For gen? eral purposes, t. e., for use on corn, cotton and other summer crops, the fol? lowing is a good formula: No. 1. Acid phosphate 1.300 pounds Cotton seed meal 500 pounds Kainit 200 pounds Total 2.000 pounds If cotton seed be used instead of the meal, then the following: No, 2. Acid phosphate 865 pounds Cotton seed bushels) 1,000 pounds Kainit 135 pounds Total 2,000 pounds The foregoing formulas comprise the commercial ingredients most generally used in composting cr mixing at home. As already indicated, these ingredients wheo provided in the proportions given, may be mixed with stable manure and other crude or bulky home materials in any convenient proportions of the latter The larger the proportions of stable manure, etc., the greater the dilution, or weaker the resulting mixture, and a correspondingly larger quantity ?bould be applied per acre. Where not sown last fall, or in Jan? uary, this is the next best month in which to sow oats. Indeed we think February oafs are much less liable to be killed by cold than those sowc in Jan? uary. Remember to sow ao early va? riety, sow pleuty of seed, fertilize liber- j ally, and. prepare the ground weil. A spring sown oat crop must mature so quickly that the plant roots have nor time to hunt out-so to speak-the meagre supplies of plant food that are ?A und in poor or badly prepared soil. Ancient Egyptian Flora. The National Museum of Egyptian Antiquities at Bulak contains a very i:? teresting collection of plants which hav< been found iii the catacombs and sepal chral monuments of the country. l)r Schweinfurth was tho lirst to study tin. ancient flora, which contains noexampie j of a plant that docs not grow today in the Nile valley. Nor does tue most min ute examination ?liow tho least differ enoe between the vegetation whichfiour ished fifty centuries ago and that of the present time. In some cases tho color of the flowers can be clearly distinguished, as, for instance, the purple larkspur, tho red poppy, the reddish br* ?v a saffron and the blue lotu3. The leaves of the watermelon contain grains of Chlorophyll perfectly visible in the microscope. All those were fon nd in great numbers in the burial placesof the fifteenth dynasty, 8.000 years B. C.. and in one tomb of the same time s<>in< ears of barley. Ia later monuments were discovered mustard, flax, cucumbers, lentils, pine cones, juniper berries, dates. ! hollyhocks, chrysanthemums, figs,olives, j onions and grapes. Around the nooks | and upon the breasts of the mummies of 1.100 B. C. wore garlands of celery leaves an?! blue lotus flowers. In regard j to the various specimens of grain dis- j covered, it may be added that no ax- j tempt to make them grow has ever sue ceeded, the plants hav lng been subjected j to grt-at heat at the time of the embalm- ' ing and burial, which, while it preserved them, destr? >yed their germinating power. The cases ia which mummy wheat is ? said to have been raised are due simply to the fraudulent mixture of modern with the ancient graius.-Chicago Her- j aid. On the Hill. Miss Alice (waiting for the "bob" tc start)-Do you know, I always think of the poor sailors at sea on Christinas eve. It must be so awfully dreary. They haven't any of our pleasures-like this, for instance. Witticus-Oh, indeed, you are mis? taken. I know a sailor who spends al? his time coasting. Miss Alice <incredulous)-Oa the wa? ter? Witticus-Certainly. Yo?Ve heard of the bobstay, have you not? Miss Alice-Why, how stupid of me! of course. But, do yoa know, I never supposed they used the bobstay for that, -Harper's Baz&r. From the Enterprise. The vast amount of timber in the Santee, which has been looked unon for so many generations as so much wealth wrapped in its first form of nature, but totally valueless on account of its inaccessibility, ?3 rapidly be? coming the very best capital and soon to be converted into money. Already a large num? ber of hands have been employed by a com? pany of capitalists from the state of Michi? gan and put to trork deadening cypress tim? ber in the Santee near York Till?, in the west? ern part of the county. This is done so that tlie timber will be dry and can float when it is cut next fall. And now comes the news of the formation of another company of northern capitalists, for the manufacture of cypress shingles. The company is to be composed of Messrs, Ferguson, Rath bon and Bed 1er of Chicago and Mr. Dolson of Michigan. They have already purchased 16.000 acres of, laud in the Santee near the places of the, Manuings and the Richardsons, aud we learn : one of them intends rooking Clarendon county his home. They are to erect a v*ry Iar>resj?w rail! in th? swamp just *cross the river, in Orangeburg county. There seems to be ? better dav coming for Clarendon. Seed Corn. A few weeks ago an article appeared in these columns refering to a superior seed of corn which is new to most persons in this part of the world. Dr. Isaac A. McKagen has obtained a lim? ited supply of the seed, which he offers for sale. Samples of it, with testimonials, can be seen on the bulletin in front of his store under Music Hall. The recommendations of such men as the Rev. J. S Beasley and Mr. R. 0. Purdy can leave no doubt th*t it is a very desirable corn. It is said that on rich land it stools out like oats, and if the corn is taken off green will continue bearing in succession. Secure a supply for the garden, while it is going and raise seed for next year.

It is now reported that a purely agricul? tural paper is to be published at Columbi*. That some of the wealthiest Alliance farmers will soon meet in that city to organize a joint Stock company and publish the paper for the benefit of the farmers of the State, and that the very best talent obtainable in the South will be employed to edit and manage it, men who can instrui t the farmers not only in the science of agriculture, but in all matters necessary to make farming success. It is said, with some reason, that "some of the papers have become politico-agricultural and have failed solar as instructing the farm? ers as to their needs and wants." The capital will be $25,000, placed at $100 per share. We hope the scheme may materialize. Such a paper as is contemplated is gieatly Deeded in South Carolina. Three papers under one general head, "The-New Nationalism," will appear in the March issue of telford's Magazine as the leading article. The great and constantly increasing body who are interested in the important social acd governmental questions of the hour will find the newest phase of these questions intelligently described by J.
