Tke State'i Experimental Farm.
While in Raleigh last sreek, among
other places visited was the State's Ex
perimental Farm, yrhvft is being coo
ducted under the auspices of the Agri
cultural Pepartment To start -with,
do not confound experimental with
Wodel farm. They are ray different
things. & model farm seeks to present
everything as typical models of per
fection. This irould include not only
the modes of cultivation and the crops,
jbut houses, stock, farm implements,
and et cetera. Of sucji a farm it would
he expecied that the yield wonM be
prolific and that the crops in all stages
would he beautiful to look upon. To
accomplish this, any amount of man
ure and the constant use of plow, rake
and hoe would be necessary. Then the
stock must be sleekest and best kept in
the land; the houses mopt conveniently
arranged and adapted to the require
ments of farm life; the implements
must be of the most approved patera
bright and new in fact the place
must look like a chromo! A model of
excellence as a cruide to others. Such
a farm would cost a 4eal of money
and it need have no scientific hand to
manage it A man of experience in
practical agriculture wijth refined taste
and foad of the ornamental could run
sach a farm successfully. Am expen-
mentat farm means Something very
different. The name implies a place
for experimenting in agriculture, not
for exhibiting its perfections; a place
for beginning at the i foundation of
, w
things and studying them up, step by
step, discovering not only the causes
which hinder the growth and perfec
tion of given plants, but seeking out
and correcting all the evils incidental
to the health of the plant and discover
ing the most available : food necessary
to its maturity. Often the poorest
land is the best for experimental pur
poses, while it would be utterly unfit
as a bask for a model farm. Poor
land is best for experimental purposes
because it yields readily and unmis
takably to treatment, flhe ground se
lected (in the old Fair! ground lot) is
certainly poor enough for any experi
ment. But the men j entrusted with
the work are earnestly and patiently
laboring to bring out j results. They
complain that they have constantly to
resist appeals from all classes to man
ure heavily and make pretty crops.
The experiments this year are without
manure except in a fewj instances. Ow
ing to the late start given them, they
only hope to accomplish a good start
for the next year, yet they are now en
gaged in the study of three crops, from
which, they hope to gain much valuable
information, as a basis for the next
year's work. Cotton, tobacco and cow
peas are tfye subjects of thiayear 8 ex
periments, Some mention of detail
may pjjoy of interest to the agricul
tural reader. Trhese crops are being
studied in the field, in pots and in jars.
In the latter they control the physical
conditions of moisture, etc., and feed
them on known concentrations of plant
food to ascertain
best This treatment gives an insight
into their needs, and j is known as
"water culture." In i the Dots, the
plants are grown in pute (silica) sand
containing known quantities of plant
food and are under precisely the same
physical conditions as these undergoing
treatment in water culture. This lat
tar is called "sand culture1 These
plants are photographed each week as
permanent record, and iuso each week,
m the field, they carry bn Hroot wash
ing" i. e. they cut out a section of earth
holding the plant, wash the soil from
the roots, note their growth, penetra
tion, arrangement, eke., and have
rhem photographed. This completes
ie record of the three experiments, from
which ttfpmaof value are learned, both
to the uiaate themselves and the soil
in which they grow.
Tbe experimesiai fdrni is supplied
with meteorological instruments for
registeringjuettorological phenomena.
This is important on all experimental
farms. They keep a complete record

brief notes. The polite managers
tftanted every facility for giving the
information, but laughed as they ex
plained the difference between a model
and an experimental farm. They even
said that they expected people in the
back woods, who do not read any of
the State papers, to suppose that they
were conducting a model farm, but for
their guest they saw no excuse. It
was during the humiliating silence
which followed this remark that the
resolution was made to enlighten any
of the many readers of this paper who
might have a vague and uncertain idea
of what the experimental farm was.
People visiting the farm unscientific
people must of course see many
things which they cannot understand,
and perhaps cannot appreciate, yet if
they will but accept these things on
their faith in the knowledge and effi
ciency of those in charge, they may
rely upon being ultimately afforded
some valuable, practical lessons from
its workings.
Knights of Labor Lose a Eay.
From the reports now going
the
rounds of the State press, John R.
Ray, of Raleigh, the State organizer of
the Knights of Labor, has not cleared
his skirts of the charge of being some
thing of an anarchist This, if true, is
a shameful imposition on the good
working people of this State. It is
not believed that they will tolerate any
such nonsense, and Mr. Ray had bet
ter keep his doctrine. While writing
on this subject, the following from the
Shelby New Era, is to the poin t and
is worth the serious attention of the
Knights:
There can be little doubt tnat many
who join tbe Knights of Labor are actua
tea by no special concern tor workingmen,
but rather by a desire for personal gain
Some wish the trade of the Knights of
Labor and others seek their votes. eith
er of these motives can help the order,
while the second may ruin it. The present
leaders of the Knights properly propose
to keep the order out of politics; but a
large and lndnscrimmate membership
may put it out of the power of these men
to keep the order true to its fundamental
principles. If it once becomes a political
machine, its power of helping its mem
bers will he gone and it will soon itself
soon pass away. For the special purpose
of elevating the condition of labor the or
der is admirably adapted. To further
purpose its membership should be con
lined to those specially interested. For
the general protection and amelioration
of society, we have already the church
and the State. We cannot see how any
. il . A I " j ' . . W
outer instrumentality is needed.
Taxes for Education.
The New York Star says:
The Nashville Unton draws a most un
pleasant picture of the ignorance and
illiteracy of Tennessee, and, referring to
the opposition of its contemporaries to
the Blair bill, it declares it "must be fer
increasing home taxes or perpetual igno
ranee." There is no reason why home
taxes should not be sufficiently increased
in Tennessee to raise a sum adequate for
the education of the children of the State.
If t he people there have not enough State
pride and self respect to do this, the
opening of charity schools among them
by the federal government will only make
them still more abject.
True enough! A slight increase in
any of the Southern States will swell
the school fjund into proper propor
tions. The South is doing a noble work
. j. , . j tuBc uj. euueuwon ana mere is
which they thnvebut Qne for takingihe
fits of the infamous Blair scheme, and
that is simply "let the South get what
she can from the Government Treas
ury." This is neither argument nor
reason! The South is both able and
willing to meet the demands of her
people, so far as education is concerned,
she has done it in the past and will do
it in the future. - Let the mess of pot
tage go!
Enforce the Law.
The people of Maine take a sincrular
satisfaction in pretending that liquor is
not sold in that State. Every now and
then, however, they forget themselves
and inadvertently admit the truth. The
clergymen of Portland recently began a
movement to secure the more strict ob
servance of Sunday in that city. They
nave petition the City Council to close
numerous places of business on that day,
and among the places enumerated thev
mi iiuuu iiquur saioons. jnow, the pre
tense is that no liquor is sold in Maine on
any day of the week; but here is a con-
iession tnat it is sold every day, includ
ing Sunday. And this the result of a
prohibitory law in the State from which
such legislation takes its name! rwn
such a law not rather to ho enti
tled lin act to promote lying and false
pretence and encourage hypocrisy?" JV.
This a rather sad picture to come
fwwn If..'-. T A il

Stopping Trains.

of stopping railroad trains by massing
women and chilren in front of the loco-
uwuve is Jiew ana original. The engin

the
police don't want to club thom .i

On the Sea Shore.
ere is pleasure in the pathless woods,
Thvre is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intruaes, .
fey the deep Sea, and music in its roar :
Quite true, and it does not require a
Byron's poetic inspiration to feel it,
but to express it, is quite another thing.
The Carolina coast has many trac
tions in both natural scenery and in
affording opportunity for pleasure and
sport It was the good fortune of the
writer to spend a few days last week
at Morehead City. City is a term ap
plied in North Carolina to any place
with one house, or to any place with a
prospect of soon having a house. More
bead City may have 500 inhabitants
but it would take close counting to
find that many, unless the enumerator
had a wonderful aptitude in remember
ing the past and buried dead. But the
lover of nature in going to tbe coast is
not in search of a town, but rather the
long stretch of sandy beach; the fresh,
exhilerating, salty, breee; the boating
fishing, and the bathing. These are
enjoyable and restful. These and many
other pleasures are in store for those
who turn their faces toward the sea
during the coming hot months. The
village of Morehead City overlooks
almost without raising the eye the
waters of Bpgue sound, Bogue sound
is some 25 miles in length and from
one to two or three miles wide, and is
separated from the ocean by "sand
hanks" or "sand dunes" as they are
called. The sound has two communi
cating inlets with the ocean, the first,
opposite Morehead, is Fort Macon inlet,
and the second is Bogue inlet 25 miles
down the coast from the first. At this
inlet, which is also the mouth of White
a
Oak river, there is noticed a rather
curious phenomena inthe conch-shell
Going seaward, the conchs on the
right hand sidebf the inlet are right
handed, and those mi the opposite bank
are left handed, . e. the curve turns in
the opposite direction on these shores.
In using the conch as a dipper, the
first named must be held in the right
hand, while the second must be held in
the left, in order to bring- the thin edge
to the lips. Twelve miles further south,
is the mouth of New River, famous as
growing the finest oysters on the
coast. But few visitors will stray so
far from the delights of Morehead
City. Here the fishing is excellent.
At this season the catch consists of
Spanish mackerel, an occasional pom
pano, sheeps head, spots and hog fish
in abundance. The latter is easily
caught. The fishermen use a trawl
with three hooks attached, and they
pften bring three fish, grunting like so
many pigs, to the surface. From the
latter part of June to October trawling
for blue fish is the chief amusement,
and is all absorbing. In September
the Spanish mackerel, (the best fish
that grows, except the pompano) is at
his best and takes the hook freely.
The boating is always fine in the
sound; protected by the sand dunes
from the violence of gales that may be
blowing at sea, it is seldom rough
enough to prevent a pleasure ride.
There are but few days during the
season when one dares not venture be
yond the inlet into the ocean

"Dark-heaving boundless, endless, and sublime."
The light house, Fort Macon, the
signal service station, Beaufort and
Bogue Island should be visited. While
on the island there is a specimen, genus
homo, which might be visited with
profit if not pleasure. He is entitled
"Lige Lewis, the hermit." The sight
of him is worth a trip to Morehead.
Don't expect to see a dude, no! no! To
see a genuine dude and the hermit
meet face to face, in some unfrequen
ted spot, would be a rare treat indeed.
The dude on beholding the hermit,
could not think, he could only flee.
The hermit on seeing the dude would
exclaim: "Wal, I'm struck by a squall
thar hamt a 'Bogue sound lawyer1
in pants! If it were not for the bar
nacles adhering to the brawny limbs of
the hermit and the periwinkles dangled
in his matted beard, one would never
suppose that he had so much as even
fallen overboard into the water. Evi
dently it is not meet for man to be
alone. Judging from the hermit, man
alone is not fit to meet.
Beaufort lies just across the harbor.
It seems to rise from the harbor, and
looks cool and inviting. Beaufort has
more than two thousand inhabitants.
It should be seen because it is a finish
ed town. It has been done for some
time. There were three chairs tilted
back, balanced by three pairs of heels,
which hune dn the railing of th
broad pia?za at tneNAtlantic Hotel.
They were owned by Judge F., Mai. H
and the writer. We three gaed across
tje macid waters and our eyes rested
on Beaufort. The Maior is a e.vnic.

the price of. chickens and butter would
increase, and they looked grave as they
declared -that the higher prices of tbe

those commodities from their doors.
The women wore terror in their eyes,
and some wept, wringing their hands aa

Morehead City. The remedy was worse
than the disease. Since then they

This week the North Carolina Press
Association is holding its annual ses
sion in the Atlantic. Hotel, which is
the place of places at Morehead. Messrs
Cocke & Foster .Bros., the young pro
prietors, have employed a chef de
cuisine that would grace Delmonico's.
Those editors are feeding on the best
the sea affords. Broiled Spanish mack
erel, delicate soft shell crabs, &c More-
head voted "wet," and those editors
who decline to run for the Legislature
since the election in Raleigh, have gone
to Morehead with impunity. They
probably rely upon the native yeopon,
an excellent tonic in malarial districts,
though this reliance may have to be sup
plemented with well, that they must
tell on themselves,
"Head that Mole!"
The voice rang through all the sur
rounding buildings with an echo, and
penetrated the ears of the man to
whom addressed a hundred yards off.
It was an energetic common-place sort
of a speech, but somehow it seemed
there was a great deal in it. A mule
is a heady beast and keeps his own
counsels about as effectually as the
next fellow. The fact is, you are not
quite certain at an v time what he is
thinking about or what lie is going to
do. Many times he surprises you by
feats as remarkable as they were unex-
ped; as, when he takes a notion to do a
a thing he rarely gives notice until it is
done. The mule in question had broke
his fastenings at the hitching rack, and
it had entered into his head to go to
his country home, not caring to spend
his time iu a town where every body
was pushing around like mad, with
nothing in the shape of hay or fodder
lying around loose to engage the atten
tion of visitors like himself.
"HEAD THAT MULE?1
no doubt rang in his ears as clear as a
bell, and he knew exactly what it
meant; but with the most stoical indif
ference he went right on ; for he had
long since learned that it was the part
of wisdom in dealing with capricious
human nature, not to hear all words
that are spoken. He no doubt, men
tally took them up, however, and dwelt
on them- as a moralist, perhaps repeat
ed them to himself with such reflec
tions as would befit the speaker, time
and place.
"HEAD THAT MULE"
we will suppose him to say: "You
had better say head that man, for he
needs a head worse than I. He has
come to town for supplies that he
ight to raise on his farm, and will
have to pay the tallest prices for them
of any other trader who buvs. He
needs a head that would take in a fact
ike that, but not having it he will
probably take in whisky, or some other
deception not less hurtful.
'HEAD THAT MCLE,'
indeed ! and coming from such a source,
it is just 'too funny for anything1 as I
heard a young Miss remark a while
ago, as she eyed, a spindle-leg dude tip
ping along the street as if he had a
sore some place, or were a sight too
fine to set his foot down with a good
honest tread. The remark arrested my
attention, and I greeted it with a soul
ful cheer, but on looking around, Miss's
eyes looked as if they would pop out of
their sockets, and I observed that she
had on her back or behind her, a
bundle of -hay? or fodder? or some
other provender? I gave her another
cheer, and the pretty thing ran away
as if she thought 1 meant to rob her of
her load. Gracious me!
'HEAD THAT MULE1
is a request that will apply fittingly to
many subjects in this old world,
and not the least are the girls who are
ambitious of fashionable bumps, and the
men who labor with beer distended ab
dominal dimensions; and the mechanic
whose work drives him; and the mer
chant who robs the poor and favors
the rich; the wood-hauler who draws
in his standards; the farmer who puts
the big potatoes on the top; the doctor
who always knows; the lawyer who
loves fees better than justice; the mag
istrate yho don't hold the balances
fair; the shoemaker whose soles are
rotten; thp editor who dreams of rich
es; the lass who longs to be a wpman,
and the boy who can foresee no danger
betwixt him and pleasure.
'HEAD THAT MULE'
Yes, do! and take care that yqu do
not yourself need to be hfaded.
