L. Reevee, In American Agrtcultur mu Calm* *r Unwtmla*. Many year* ago 1 owned a small fruit form near Ibo city of Cleveland.! uokx In tbe midst of an extensive fruit-growing district, and had re markable suecria one year with bill culture of straw berries. After enrich log Ibe land with a coat of stab's manure drawn from tbe city, I plant ed a small plot, little more than ono elgbth of an acre, with Joe undo a. which were then famous because of the unique success of James Knox In raising them on the bin-tops above Birmingham at Pittsburg. I had vis ited Ills extensive plantation, and pur chared at a high price tills famous variety from ouo of my neighbors, be lieving from ilr. Knox's • success that they would be profitable. Tbo' soil was a dark, gravelly loom In nu old orchard- Tbe planting was In th</ spring All runners were cut. oil during the imnmer. and the pLrrt was well cultivated with the boo, the plants being eighteen inches apart each way. Tbo growth was very strung. Dnrlng the following winter they wore protected by a tight cov ering oi straw. The next summer I had them care fully gathered by pickers from tl:c city, la baskets holding foar quarts I with handles. These taikets were rounded np. and all the stems were tnrned down on tbo top of tbe basket, so that no green leaf or stem was visi ble. 1 had tbe first picking taken to a fruit dealer on tbe “Square.” near tbo wealthy residence portion of the city, whose lint offer was *1 a basket. When tbo second picking was taken the dealer said they were all sold in advscce at *1-23 a basket, and If I could bare had three or four times as many, tbo firm would bare been glad to obtain them at *1 a basket. They were declared to be tbe finest lot of Strawberries over seen In Cleveland market. 1 sold from that small plot *325 worth of strawberries during that first year's marketing. Tbe second year they prod need well, bat sat at flue berries as I might have raised from Wilson plants, cared for as my Jocuudas were tbe preceding year. The person from whom I pur chased tbe plants had a largo plat of Joeunda* — probably two or mo-o acres—planted on clay soil, well on derdrainod: bat they wars very unsat isfactory. aa tha berries did not ripen, but matured la aloe wbtlo green la color, end they were usually wedge shaped.

Take the amount we aow pay by reason of bad roads and apply It to tbe bunding at good ones, and wo will have on Invest ment that trill yield greater returns to the mauy than any other that eon be made. This Improvement of otu roads ought to be done by tbe States, by tbe counties, by the districts, by individuals, by tbe General Govern ment or by tbe united action of sev eral or all of tbesc agcncleo. If tbit work la to be done by appropriations of tbe Legislature, these appropria tions must be made an a liberal scale. Mississippi appropriates nothin: directly for this purpose, because pro ll, bited by tbe Constitution, but an tborise* tbe conn ties to do so. Some counties levy a few cents on the $100, about enough to pay the salaries of tbe officers Intrusted with tbe man agement of the fond. A certain mmi b-r of days' work la alto levied, run. nlng from five to eighr. sad those upon whom this tax of labor Is levied usually have tbe least Interest In the betterment of tbe roads, and work In a perfunctory manner so as to dis charge as easily ns possible tho obli gation. Districts mny not levy a tax under tut Constitution of tits State of Tennessee, however much they may desire to do to. Under the operation of our road laws there Is cnougb waste of time and money to baud a sect loo of good roads every year. If It Was all levied In money and Its ex penditure properly directed by compe tent road builders.

LOVE IS TEE GIFT OF THE LORD Evils of Marrying Cousins— Prof*** tor Connor, of Um Institution For lb* Deaf, Oivea Figure*. When a young mu (alia In lore and resolves to get married I reckon It la a good thing that he la reckless of the consequences. 1 via. I know.for I never thought of uythlng except tha pretty girl soil how happy 1 would be lo get bar. 1 had so thaught ot trouble or poverty or grief or war or death. The time wu far. far away when tha sil ver cord would be loosed and the gol den bos'! be broken. As for the girl, she Is more reckless then her lover, even though her peril Is far greater, tor hers ts to be the pain and suffering, the care and anxiety—the night watch ing and sometimes the broken heart. It ts s mystery to me how the mother en dures It all and holds up her head and keeps her strength. But love for her cftsprlng. maternal love, sustains her. It Is the gift of Ood. There wu a mar riage In our town the other day. and as the crowds gathered at the church our neighbor. Mrs. Felton, slopped In the Teranda to real and are the battle from afar. She was. ts usual, merry and say by turns—sometime* the tears ‘ were glistening In her eyes and soon tha UnfhP'1 niArrilv nnrt ■h.'wpA h»r pearly teeth. When the bridal carriage arrived she gave a material sigh and whispered. "Poor things, they little know what Is ahesd of them." Sudden ly ehe branched off Into a itcry about her litlle pel mule eolt that la now her cully comfort. "It watches me at the window," aha said, "and when I go out U ruca to roe sod lays Its head on my arm and almost nematics In my bosom. Mary's lamb waa not more loving. It bttea and kicks at everybody else, but | run* to me tawns upon me with perfect I adoration." She laughed again, but rll , at once the comers of her tnoutS drooped to an sngle of 45 degrees and her voice trembled is she slid: "Bit, major, I have at last come down re herd pgs f misery In my old ags. No took, no help of any sort, and though yesterday was my silly-fourth birth | day I had to pull the buggy down ta . the branch and wash it. Oh. my coun j try!" She cried a little, and then laughed a good deal more. Pearly tcirm I and pearly teeth are attractive features In a woman. Noverlhieas, between prt i ling mule celts and washing buggies ! aha still finds time to plead for the ed ucation of the ptor country girls of North Georgia. But whit kind of a gfrl should a young man marry? Of course, she must ; t? born of reapectible parents, shs should bs virtuous, ah#.should have a gcvdelovtng dWjKvltion and a fair edu cation. She should he h-klthy and hav* no taint of trr lover's ancestral blood In her veins. All of these qualities, tirna hare been diseased and trestaf over and ever again, except Ihe last. 1 art Inspired to say tom'shiue alinut that because its Importance baa long ! bten overlooked—neither poets nor philosophers nor scientists have writ ten upon it nor given any warning A j letter recently received from a younr; roan In Mlsstesippl asks If there is any thin* wrong in a min marrying bit conrtn. Yes; very, very wrong. The an swer is found In the records of the asy lums tor the deaf and dumb and blind. Their chief patronage comes front the Intermarriage of cousins. These Insti tutions cost our atatc about 175,000 a year, and half of the ex pense ecu Id he avoided If the Intermarriage of cousin* waa prohibited, 1 have net the reports of the blind asylum before me. but I know of three blind children of one family who were eent there, and they were the offspring of parents who were cousins. I know of five children of one family who were aent to our deaf and dumb Institute at Care Springs. Their parents were double cousins. They had bnt one chltd who could bear and apeak. Ehe was a good-looking coun try girl. She married a clever young man who hurled wood for me. Soon af ter hie marriage he moved to Texas and hired to a cattle man. and was to faithful In his service that In • few yewrs he bought an Interest In the ranch and prospered. I met him at Waco sixteen reran eg ter he left Geor gia. and ha waa said to be worth 1100. 000. and his two alder daughters were at a boardin a school at Waco. 12 mile* from Ms home. He had elx children, and. alas! one of them was a mute. The taint bad cropped oaf In the sec ond generation. Professor Connor, th* falthfnl and long tried principal of oar daaf and dumb Institution, ha* tabulated th* parentage of hie pupils for many yean, and reports that la IS families produc ing 41 motan th* parents were Brat cousin* In II famllle* producing II mate* the parents war* second cous in*.

Fortu nataly moat of such marriages result In no progany. "Oh. wall." some any. "the LerUlcal lie did not prohibit It." No. It did set and I reckon that Cain married hta ala. ter. We know that Abraham married his half at star, and no doubt that 1* why no children wars born to them except ase by grace In their old age. But It le said that the Roman laws and the laws of England permit each marriages- Yea. the Roman law did until Pope Alexander II stopped It and prohibited drat, second and third cous ins from Intermarrying. the laws of England parmltad such marriages be cause the kings and the nobility wnnted to keep the crows and the ti tles and their estate* In thalr families And so our American people, who kart patterned after English law and pre cedent for more than a hundred years have been reluctant to make any change In thla regard. But the question la now coming' to the front and the time la coming tor a change. It aeema now to be an estab lished and universal rnle that these marriages entail upon the offspring evil consequences, bodily or mentally, or both. The evil effect of what la call ed "breeding In" among animals leads to the conclusion that It is an universal law. deed (lock, blooded stock, la not permitted In that way.
