On- of themoMt thought ful expressions regarding itnmi graiiouf. r this t-ectiou in ron (aincJ in the following, which is an excerpt f.om an editorial in The Journal and Tribune, of Nashville, Tenn.: 'Criticism ol theSuuth is r-ome-times heard for not Bonding ag ent to Furop to solicit immig ration from that country to the Southern States In all probab ility if the Sout hern Stat"8 would make provision for that sort of work, men would be found to un dertake it. and do it well. Hut it isaques'ion if the South is anx ious to increa :e the population of the section 10 spend money to secure it in that way. Foreign ers have conn to the South and have been welcomed, lney nre the equals ol our best citizens We are glad that thpy are here and il we could have others I like them we would hail their coining with pleasure and reeeiye them an valnable acquisitions to our population. Many of those who are here have taught the native population valuable lessors by their example and haye done their full share towards develop ing our nft'nral resources. "It need not b said that many are coming from other countries now that are not of that sort wnnted in the South. And tin general Kentimpnt is that we can wait for an increase ol our popu lation and take the chances of getting a better class ol citiz ens rathar than send agents ic ross the waters and spend money to get such immigrants as ar now landing daily at the port of New York and congesting that city with men who are ignorant of our institutions and who are not caring to know them. "As that class may spread out oyer the section of country that is bending its energies to increase population in that way we look for many of the native farmers and manufacturers of the north to look to the souther tuture and more desirable homes.. It is already looking that way. There has not been a time in the past when so many Northern' farmers have looked in the direction ol Southern farms. It is only begin ning to be known that there is us productive lands in the South as there is in the world and it is brginiiningto be known that we have a soil adapted to the grow ing of a variety of crops. 'It will all come out right in th.) end and even desirable immi grants from toreign countries will Had It without the States spending money to send person al agents to visit their homes and tell the in about it." The States of Texas and Okla homa aud others of tbe new stateB have been settled almost entirely by immigrants from oth er States, and the result is thatl their citizenship is more typical ly American than the citizenship of most of the Northwestern States and the (Vntral North western States, The same thing is now beginning to take placein this section. More people from oilier sections of this country than foreigners arecominginand making their homes. These peo ple are already Americans a n d thy make it all the easier to as similate and Americanize that nlatively small proportion of .foreigners who come. THE DOG LAW. i .... . . ,. 1 hen the I'-gislator once nulize -. ,; r.i 1 the possibility of t he sheep-rais- I . , . 1 'r ........ ........... ........ .j situnttHlStat', they will ciase to pit against it the usele-s and in excusable Hheep-killcrs an I egg Kiirker of t he dog family. Th average dog is not an as tet but a liahilitv. He is both a consumer and n non-producer. He is a loafer and a vagrant, but he is a diplomat all right. He can kill a valu ible hheep and by the wag of his tail pull the wool over the eyes of the eyes of tin ayer n.r,. legislator. Hecun'break up the nest of the ''set'ing hen" and limit t he possibilities of fried chicken, but by being Irisky and friendly In can make it up with a North Carolina law maker. The sheep-kil er and tin egg sucker can slink around all over the country and make it well nigh impossible to indulge in mutton. They can prowl ubout and glut themselves onlresheggs and cut a whole family out of having ham and eggs for break fast, but by an unassuming dem onstration of aff -ction and tra ditional faithfulness he gits a pat on the head and b'jjislative sanction. He doesu'thavetogive any song and dance, he doesn't have to hang around the lobbyi and he has no vote and no graft to influence legislation, but he ul ways and strangely has the ma jority on his side. He can et the average legislator to do more for him than he will for a farmer, and as between ncorporation ca pable of big developments and a dog which nets up a bar nirninst the wool and mutton industry, the legislator; lines up with the dog. North Carolina has two or thre.) wooten mills making blan kets and linsi'vs, and competing with the world in their products. Time was when the Rock Island Mills, of Charlotte, manufactur ed flue cassimers and woolen clothing material, but years ago the wool supply in theStatedwin did, the fires of that factory were banked, the spFfTdles and looms hushed, and the smokeless stacks constitute a silent monu ment, over an industry dead as Hector. The sheep industry in North Carolina would give new impetus to the lew woolen mills of t h e State, others would be built and another great, industry would take its placein the manufactu ring development ol North Caro lina. The sheep industry would mean two industries at one clip, and it would add millions of dol lars to the wealth of the State. Nevertheless the yelping cur buys the moon and a North Car olina Legislature stun. Is by him when he does it!

Tnen, there was that Corsican boy, one of a goodly brood, who weighed only fifty pounds when ten years old: who was thin and nale and perverse, and had tan trums and had to be sent to bed, or locked in adark closet because he wouldn't mind. Who would have thought he would h ive mas tered eyery phase ol warfare at twenty-six; and, when told that the exchequer of France was in dire confusion would say, "The f nances, I will inanugo them." Very distinctly and vividly I remember a slim, fnckle-faced boy, who was born in t!to Tntch' and used to pick up coal along the railroad tracks in Buffalo. A few months ago I had a motion to make be lore the Supreme Ci.uif, and that boy from the "I'utch" was the judge whowrot" the opinion granting my peti tion. Yesterday 1 rode horseback past a field where a boy was plowing. The lad's hair stuck out through the top of his hat, his form was bony and avkwark; one suspen der held his trousers in place; his bar: legs and arms were brown andsun-burtiedand briar-scratch ed. Ae swung his horse around just as 1 passed by, an 1 fnm un der the flapping brim of his hat he cast a quick glance out of dark, haif bushful eyes aud mod estly returned mv salute. When his back was turned, I tooK off my hat and sent a God bless you down the furrow after him. Who knows? I may go to that boy to borrow money yet, or to hear him preach or to beghim to defend me in a law suit, or he may stand with pulse unfastened bar of arm, in a white apron, ready to do his duty while the cone is placed over my face, and night and death come creeping into my veins.

Whac is needed more , than IcrU'Iijrer formulas is a good j lotntion ol crops and the grow ing and feeding of lagume lorage iand the making of more manure, jaid. d by the more liberal use of phosphoric acid and potash, while in many sections the farm er who farms riant will never need to buy anything in the way of fertilizers except plain phos phoric acid. This is the controll ing factor in my fertilizer formu la. But when a man asks me for a formula for corn I am apt to tell him that the best I know is a crimson clover crop on which the farm manure ht.s been spread in wiuter as fast as made. That will make cheaper corn than any fer tilizer formula I can give. This is especially true if the manure has about 100 pounds of acid phosphate or floats mixed in ev ery ton. And the man who has a crimson clover so I to turn for his cotton will s ldom n.-ed any thing but a liberal dose of acid phosphate or Thomas phosphate which, in sueh a case, will have a good influence in sweetening the nciils far the clover. Our South ern far. i;ers are clean "fertelizer crazy," as one writer has said. I'raeticea good rotution and grov plenty of peas and crimson clover and use phosphoric acid and potash three or four time as heavily as you have been using a complete low grade 822 and yon will get better results and cheaper. Then remember that phosporic acid is one and the same thing, whether it comes from rock or bone or Thomas phosphates or fl ats. The only thing is to consider its availabil ity. It is more readily available in acid phosphate than in any other form, but if you have the clover to turn or manure to ap ply you can profiiablv use the Thomas pbosphate tin he floats. But if you are himply trying to grow crops with the acid or ferti zers, then you should use the highest grade; and you will make less money in the long run than if you farmed and improved your laud.
