This cmeB- tion bag;' been discussed for more than a generation by scientific men and by practical farmers, and many direct experiments have been made to determine whether or not removing the blades at the usual time injures the yield of 'grain more than the re sulting npt value of the fodder. .The results of these experiments' fiave been aa Various and conflicting as the conditions under which they were conducted. We still hold that fodder pulling does not materially injure the grain if not done before the latter has become glazed and too hard lo be easily cut, with the thumb-nail. There are many! fields in which this condi tion oi the grain will not have been reached untU after many of the blades have fired 1 or 4ied.

Tne truth s e should not rely 6a this resource int. fodder, but special hay or forage crops should be protided There is nothing better than bright, well-cured corn-blades, and uardiy anything that costs more labor; per ton to ; Save.

It will usually suffice fodf the plow animals and" give an I occasional Dundle to cattle; but the crop' is pf ten insufficient tor the former, i Any farmer who wilL' make it a point to save all the bay that can be madei even from the ordinary un cultivated : grasses, will realise tne difference in cost and results between strtppinir corn-blades singly and by band, and cutting grass with a mower, or even an ordinary craes-biad. A very economical way to saVe corn fodder, and not so likely to injure the corn, if to strip off all tne blades be low the ear ana cure in the ustlal way: and then, after the ears are -entirely safe, cut off the top stalks inst above the ear;and save stalks and blades all together.

A political discussion took place at Waughtown, three miles from here, Saturday night, between Charlie Rey nolds and O. B Watson. Mr. Rey nolds is a very intelligent man, is a graduate of Yale College, and is pop ular in this section. Everybody knows Cy. Watson. Mr. Reynolds led the discussion, and while he is a good talker, he showed a lack of in formation in regard to the great ques tions of the day, and even acknowl edged that he bad not read i Judge Bu9sell's letter. Mr .1 Watson replied to the speeoh and simply riddled Rey nolds. He poured hot shot and solid facts into the discussion in rapid suc cession, and demolished the Republi can speaker. Our tobacco men have been inves tigating recently the condition of our tobacco trade in all its branches, and are very much elated over the result. The investigation shows that our manufacturers will manufacture more plug and twist this year than in any previous year; and as the goods from which the tobacoo is manufactured are very superior, the quality of the work this year will be first-class. An other gratifying result of the investi gation is that the Winston market will have sold up to the close bf the present tobacco year more pounds of tobaooO than ever before, except in 1885, when such a large crop was made. This is gratifying, be cause ;it is .done in the; face of an acknowledged short crop, and flMWJ JtAxJXMMissA inagnrtuae: Two large factories have just been completed, and two more are in course of erection.

The building is divided into several compartments, the largest of which is d aa the church or chapel- There was a room not so large that was used for a school room, ana one i with an immense old fire-blaoe that must have been occupied by the pastor or school master. There is an upstairs and a basement to the building.

Wbile the burning structure was surrounded by a crowd of spectators the battery of boilers exDloded and the roof and walls wera thrown out ward, sending a shower of bricks and timbers among the spectators. Eigh teen persona were killed, seven fatally injured and a number seriously hurt. several of whom will die. The mill was a three-story struoture built four years ago, cost $100,000 and was op erated day and night. When the flames broke out about fifty men were in the building. 1 xne fire alarm brought several hun dred people to the spot, who crowded as close to the building as the intense neat would permit. About 1 30 o clock, while the building ' was a mass of flames, the explosion occurred with out warning. The roof of the build ing was thrown upward and outward, the walls of brick crumbled and crashed into the street and in an in stant Scores of men were buried by the heavy debris. There was a mo ment of silence and then a ory of horror went up from the multitude. The first strong impulse to fly from possible further danger was soon overcome and hundreds began . the work of recovering the bodieq of the dead and rescuing the wounded. Body after body was found, crushed and mangled by great timbers almost beyond recognition, and removed to the Oity Hall. : The injured were car ried to neighboring residences or their homes as soon as identity was established.

About 8 o'clock on the morning of the 15th inst. there was terrinc fOlcanic eruption on Mottnt Bandai, in the province of Inasrashiro, one of the northern and hilly' provinces. Over fire hundred people were buried alive and over one thousand wounded On Sunday morning, the 15th inst.. about 8 o'clock, there were three suc cessive earthquakes in the neighbor- nooa oi .'fount isandat, the first of which was slight, the second rather severer and the third was quite heavy. While this third earthquake was going on there came tremendous naimam three times in rapid succession, aa if hundreds of thunderbolts were strik ing overhead. In that" instant the Small Bandai for there is the so- called Big Bandai as well lost its upper portions, and at the same time a mass of black cloud ourled np to the eky. Ia another see ond the cloud waa broken up into fragments and began to fall, making for a short while the broad day as dark aa midnight. Minnie lava and ashes then began to fall, soon covering the ground six inches deep. At the same moment two streams of boiling mud. Dresumablv burned stones and rocks, were thrown up from the fiery peak, which filled up valleys in the vioinitv and newlv formed many a hill over them. The area of ground thus covered with the boiling mud is now roughly estimated at fifteen miles square, burying every thing underneath, including nearly every living thing. Many villatrea. with all their inhabitants, were en tirely crushed under the liquid lava, and several others were partly de stroyed. Near by the volcanic peak there used to stand three small hot spring hamlets, and there were here : about one hundred and fifty visitors ; for health or pleasure. Their exact number will probably never be known, as all were destroyed and buried. According to the statements of the survivors with whom I talked and the concurring testimony of the people wno live in the district for miles around the mountain, on the morn ing of Sunday, the 15th of this month, rumblings were heard and earth trem blings were felt in the neighborhood of the mountain. The first disturb ance noticed occurred about 7 o'clock and was followed by three earthquake shocks at intervals of ten minutes, when there occurred aloud explosion, which the people compare to the re port of thousands of cannon dis charged simultaneously, accompanied by another terrible earthquake shock, which so frightened the oeode that they attempted to fly.

The earth was shaking and trembling and undulating like the waves of the sea, so that even standing was impossible, and the miserable creatures fell down, or, thrown down, endeavored to crawl on their hands and knees in an ago nizing effort to save themselves. As soon as the darkness gave way to light and the unhappy people, now crazed with fear, were able to walk upright, the earth tremors having ceased sufficiently, they fled down the valley in a shower of dust and ashes, some of them being awed or wound ed by falling rocks from the volcano as they fled.
