PIEDMONT FAlUIlNa.
Mr. J. JI. Harrison's Farni The IIoMe
of tli; Jersej Coir and tlic jTIiorongIj
' bred MorKc Twentj-twbBnsIicis -of
Wheat as na ATerae fjr
Twrlvo Years.
A short time ago 31 r. J. M. Harrison,
of 3Iill Bridge, wrote us an interesting
letter, about a number of successful
farmers in that vicinity. This was in
teresting to our readers, but perhaps
they would liko to know whether 31r.
Harrison knows a good farm when bo
sees it or not. So tho Watchman scut a
man to see his farm and report. But we
want to say in the outset that 3Irs. Har
rison is as good a farmer as her husband.
3Ir. Harrison wa3 born in 3Iecklcn-
burg county in 1833. While quite young
he beiran clerking in Charlotte. Uiter
he spent eighteen months ia tho
southern States bordering on the
Gulf of Mexico; lie came back
and engaged in the mercantile business
at Cleveland in this county, but was not
successful. In 1 8G3 he married Miss Fan
nie Owen, of this county. Tho farm that
they began life on was badly run down.
This farm contaiued about live hundred
acres. Ho has bought somo land and
sold some since, and now has about eight
hundred acres.
This season 3Ir. Harrison has in culti
vation 80 rcrcs in com, 75 in oats, G2 in
wheat, 50 in peas, 40 in clover lor mow
ing and 40 for pasture, and 100 acres in
natural pasture. . He has between three
and four acres in orchards.
Mr. Harrison nas never raised any
hot-bed crops. All his cultivated land
gets about the same attention. His corn
and wheat prospect is fine this season
His oats will average not less than 75
bushels per acre. His wheat will average
about 25 bushels per acre. His wheat
crop during the past twelve years has
averaged 22 bushels per acre. Last
year w'teat was a failure, but ho
made 1- buslicis per acre. His best crop
averaged 31 bushels or 317 bushels on
ten acres. Mr. Harrisoji plants his corn
two rows 3 feet apart and then a row of
peas. In this way he raises several hun
dred bushels every year, besides a large
amount for ensilage and plow ing under.
One secret of hugood farming is turning
under green crops and deep plowing
followed with a subsoil.
FINE HORSES. ' -
3Ir. Harrison has become famous as a
raiser ol lino horses and cattle. Six
years ago he bought "Jim," a line grey
Pereheron Norman stallion at a cost of
iT-GOO, at Horiusville, N. Y. "Jim was
sired by "ilomcro' 1251. A year later
ho bought ''Victor Hugo," a half brother
to "Jim," at cost of $G3). lie still owns
'Victor Hugor" but has sold "Jim."
Two years ago ho bought "Bustiqiie,"
a fine black Pereheron Norman two-year-old
at a cost of i?Si)0. "ll.istioi'iu"
now weighs aluut 1,50) pn;i Is and ii a
magnificent animal. Ho was foaled
April l.st, 1SS7; bred by 31. Augward,
commune of 3IorveiIer, Canton of 3Ian
ner, France, got by Picador 11 (50CG)
dame Biche 11G15 by 3Ionton, (G50G.)
Last February he bought : "Scipio," a
fine French Coach stallion two years old
at a cost of $500. Scipio is dark brown
in color and weighs about one thousand
pounds now. His sire was "Charmant,"
bred by 31. Simon, of La Gencvcragc,
France. The French history of Scipio
runs back to "Turk," a very fine French
horse, whoso record dates back to 1GS0,
two . hundred ' and eleven years age.
Scipo'wiil be in service next spring.
Since 3Ir. Harrison purchased these
fine horses the result has been that stock
raising has been given a new impetus in
all this section. 3Iany fine animals arc
being raised in this part of the State.
FINE COWS.
3Ir. Harrison has been buying and
raising blooded cattle for a number tf
years very successfully. In 1S79 he
bought the first registered Jersey cattle
ever brought to thi3 section. These wero
bought from the American Jersey Cattle
Club, of Newport, K. I. llo has raised
many cowsjvith records for milk and
butter. Some of his two-year-old cows
have averaged 10$ pounds of butter per
week. Somo of the matured cows have
records of 18 and 20 pounds per week.
3Ir and 3Irs. Harrison have done a dairy
business for moro than twenty years.
They are now milking over twenty cows.
They have sold butter ever since they
were married, which is more than a good
many other farmers can say. They make
about 150 pounds of butter per week at
present. They have eighty head of cat
tic, mostly Jerseys.
3Ir. Harrison kccp3 Berkshire hog?".
He sells a good deal of meat every jcar.
His sheep arc of tho Castworld breed.
Ho doesn't think sheep aro profitable in
this country.
3Ir. Harrison keeps good stock and
farming tools throughout. Ho has rais
ed his family to work and they all" do
Work. A trip to this farm is worth the
time to any person. Wc hope this im
perfect description may bo the' means of
attracting visitors who will be profited,
no doubt.
An Apology.
For some weeks the columns of this
paper have been crowded with adver
tising. Our prices aro low and wo only
tako first-class advertising. Wo hope
bur readers will bear with us iu this, for
wo cannot afford to refusoj advertising
matter of tho right kind. Vo arc glad
to see the business men of this city so
liberal in the use of printer's ink. It
ahows healthy business and' In decree of
public spirit aud enterprise ;t,bat is com

ic, of Washington. D. C. and more than
fulfilled tho expectations of her friends
which had been cutertaincd regarding
ner. one reaa witn excellent intonation
ana cxprcssion.jand well deserved the
enthusiastic encore sho received. The
vocal solo, "On 3Iighty Pens," was
sung by 31is3 Katherine Evans, of New

genuine mistress of vocal art. Sho is in
every sense an artist with a complete
control oi ner magniliccnt voice, aud t
perception clear, iciictrating and sympa
thctie; and while her voiee hascreat full
iiess and power, every note was rounded
witn that melodious soilness so sweet to
the ear. Immediately after, ltcv. J. H
Clcwell in a few happy and appropriate
remarks, introduced Kcv. J. H. Biee, ot
New York City, who delivered the an
uual address to the graduating class. I
was a splendid ellort, elegant ami beau
tiful. The beloved and reverend Bisho
Kendthaler, in a congratulatory and e!e
gant address presented the modest young
graduates, 3S in number, with their will
earned diplomas. 31isa Slannierite Du
Four, of Switzerland, was tho only post
graduate.
The course of study covers mathematical
linguistic and natural science branches. Tli
present graduating courso in this celebrated
school has been placed at a3 high a standar.
as the educational condition of the South wil
admit. . As the lower schools improve, thi
standard will from time to time be raised. I
me special ueparuncnis industrial ami musi
eal there were twentv-four who reeeived di
plomas. Principal Clewell, iu his easy, grace
ful and lluent way, returned grateful expres
sions ot acknowledgement to the numerous
patrons and friends of the school for their pa
tient attention, strong support and enthusiastic
appreciation of the great work accomplished by
this famous institution ot learning. A hand
some gold thimble was presented to Miss Al
meida Mcdrcger, Waco, Texas, in the special
class, for the most skillful and acceptable
work in the industrial department; and Miss
Mary Clark, South Carolina, modestly mid
triumphantly bore off the Alexander llopkins
memorial medal for the best written cs?a3', out
of 130 handed in for examination. It was a
solid gold horseshoe, set around with beauti
ful earls, and in the centre the monogram
"A. II. M.'' This medal was j resented by Mrs.
llopkins, South Carolina, a ft rmer pupil of the
academy, in memory cf her late husband.
Hereafter it will be presented annually to the
best essayist. The young. ladies received the
ipost generous congratulations from their
schoolmates as they returned to their seats,
and the nudienco was by no means chary in its
applause. Miss Laura Whitncr, Florida, the
valedictorian, read her pretty farewell inspira
tion with great cleverness and sweetness, llcr
paper was intelligent, ornate, tcuderly sympa
thetic and carefully prepared. The wannest
applause greeted her successful effort. ' Fare
well," the class song, was very beautiful and
touching, and was sung delightfully. Then
followed the Hridal Chorus, from Sohcngrin,
Warner, by the Salem orchestra. It was a
grand piece, grandly given, and one should
have heard it to enjoy and appreciate it.
The Alumna? Association met at the Mora
vian chapel at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
was one of the most enjoyable occasions dur
ing commencement week.- It was largely at
tended by graduates from every section of the
South and North, and several very interesting
letters were read from absent members far
away letters abounding in pleasant remin
escensea of ther dear old alma mater and the
kindest wishes for its present and future suc
cess. The association is making an effort to
raise a $5,000 endowment fund to establish a
scholarship in the academy. Quite a snug
little sum was raised during the meeting and
added to the several hundred dollars already in
hand for this purpose. This deservedly jiop
ular and renowned school, established in 1802,
has proved a grand success from the first, and
the attendance the past session, numbering
over 350 pupils, are from every section of the
West, North and Sooth, and the prospects for a
still larger number of pupils the ensuing ses
sion arc most encouraging.
Uut I must hasten on and give a brief notice
of the grand closing concert Wednesday even
ing, which was of great musical merit and., of
which it would be difficult to exaggerate. It
is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the
brilliant audience which occupied not only
every seat in the large Moravian church but
every inch of standing room. The concert was
a decided success from beginning te end, and I
regret that I have not space to report it in full
"The Feast of Adorris," for soli and chorus, by
Adolph Jensen, given by the Salem orchestra,
assisted by Prof. Partis, from Davis Military
School, and the choral class, was selected for
the concluding iiieee or the occasion, was
perfect gem, superbly rcndereil, and every
artist who participated covered himself awl
herself with fresh glory. The commencement
of 1890-'9l will ever be a memorable event to
tliosa who had the gooJ fortune to attend it
and enjoy the rich treat it so generously af
forded. The closing days ot the Salem Female
Acodemv arc distinguished all over the coun-
try as a series ot exercises rare ana superla
tively fine.

Another Endorsement.
Editoh Watchman: As there is soon
to be an election held :br County Super
intendent of Public Iustructiou, I havo
concluded to say a word in regard
to what has been written to mo as well
as expressed in plain face to face words,
saying Prof. Kizer, of Salisbury,, by all
means should be elected to till the place,
having been engaged in educational
work for a number of years giving uni
versal satisfaction in this State as well as
iu the west. Tie is not a member of the
Alliance but this matters not. All should
uuite on irood competent men and soon
we will see a different state of things
in
every department of public work.
