Successful Farming.
The successful farmer produces
everything - consumed on the farm.
Tbbf can be proved by tne past- recw-u
of our State and county. Forty years
ago our farmers raised all tne ducoo
used in our State and meat for the
market; also all the floor, corn, oats
and everything consumed at home and
some to sell. So w heu they sold their
cotton it was a surplus and the money
loaned to the merchants.- But our
country 4ias gone through a revolu
tion: Our fanners have tried to keep
their meat houses and flouring mills in
the Northwest, and thair fertilizer is
all brought from the phosphate beds
of the coast, at a big cost, in place .-of
making manure at home costing
comparatively nothing, and worth
twice or Z times as much. Thee are all
facts worthy of note and all of our
farmers admit it.
This is the time'of year for our
farmers to supply themselves with
pigs' to make eat for another year as
it will pay any farmer to raise in own
meat at any price, aud especially at the
present pnee. Bacon 'is worth 12J
to 15. wbo can stand that price ? It
is best to raise our own meat. This is
a grass-growing couatry. Seed time
wilLsoon be ou hnud, and now is the
time to supply yourselves with , seeds.
Red clover will pay a better-'dividend
than cctton, yet you find numbers of
our farmers who navt not got an acre
In f.lmrer. when thev should have five
acres to the horse. Any farmer can
prepare and sow from two to five
acres eaclv season, both fall and spring.
I think cotton land the best for clover,
as the weed and grass seeds aj not so
apt toTOTpede the young clover. Pre
pare your land well and manurt lib
erally, and sow in rust proof oats in
March, and sow your clover 15 pounds
to the acre last and brush in lightly.
Success in clover culture is to prepare
the land well before sowing, and with
a good season after the spring freezes
are over you may expect a good stand.
CloVer hay is always in demand on our
market at 75c. per hundred. And a
good crop en good land would wmount
to three tons per acre, and will cost
less in harvesting than any other known
crop and is always in demand. So I
think our farmers had better give a
thought to these facts, and change
our tactics and see if we can't change
the outlook somewhat. Wt can't lose
anything by experimenting on this
line. 1 have tried it and know it to
be correct. Let us hear from our
brother farmers on farming and stock
raising. A Farmer.
Selecting Cstton Seed.
CastODla Gaze te
It has been to us a hard thing to un
derstand why farmers should be so
particular to -get good garden seeds
every year and so careful to .select on
ly the best corn lot seed, and yet in
planting cotton, their main money
crop, they should be willing to take the
run of seed from year to year, lu
plantiug gardens, they want every
yaar the freshest seeds of the best va
rieties of vegetables best in quality,
earliest and most productive in beunug.
When it comes to planting corn, the
largest, soundest, and fullest ears are
fit st carefully selected.' All the small
aud defective grains are shelled off
fropi both-ends of these ears and ouly
the best grains of all are used for seed.
Rarely, if ever, is such care exercised
in selecting cotton seedi for pUuting.
The rup of the farm and sometimes of
the gin house is shoveled up and planted
year after year. The only possible re
sult of this lack'of method is deteriora
tion in the quality, and productiveness
of the cotton.

A special to the Wilmington Star
from Raleigh, umder date of Feb. 18th,
save: ''There was an exciting scene
in the Senate Chamber this morning
just before that body was called to or
der. The cause of theflurry was a
personal altercation between Senator
VV. H. Day, of Halifax, and Mr. Jose
phus Da iiels, editor of the North Caro
linian. The facts anper to be tbat
Mr. Day seeing Mr. Daniels in the isle
of the Senab? talking, called him up
and told him that he had been misrep
resenting him and his motives, He
said thatDaniels bad been saying that
he (Day) had tought hira for public
printer because he was the attorney of
the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road. Mr. Day told Mr. Daniels that
this was a lie and that he would so de
nounce it on the floor of the Senate.
Mr. Daniels retorted that Mr. Day was
representing the interests of the Wil
mington and Weldon railroad in the
Senate, whereupon Mr. Day struck him
a staggering blow with clenched fist
in fhe faee. Mr. Daniels retreated
backward and did not return the blow.
Several bystanders , ran in and taking
hold of Mr. Day bodily carried him
off to another part of 'the chamber.
It is understood that Messrs Day and
Daniels met afterwards and adjusted
the difference amicably."
The Legislative Railroad Committee
and officials of the Wilmington' &
Weldon Railroad Company Saturday
arrived at a final settlement of the sur
render of exemption and back tax
question, and the Fast proposition
made by the Committee to the Rail
road Company has ben agreed upon.
The Committee modified the terms so
as to make them acceptable to the Rail
road Company, and they signified their
acceptance Saturday. Representative
F. S. Spruill, Chairman of the House
branch of the Railroad Committee, au
thorizes the the following statemont
of the . settlement with the railroads:
The-Wilmington & Weldon Railroad
Company is to pay to the State three
years back taxes on branch lines, and
a sum equal to three years taxes on
the main line and all other property
the years designated being 1890, 1891
and 1892 and is'to. pay to counties
on branch lines, three years brick tax
es, and pay to counties and cities along
the main line two years back taxes for
1891 aud 1892. All immunities are
to be surrendered, and all rate-fixing
rights. The Railrosd has accepted the
proposition and the matter has now
only to be ratified by the General As
sembly, which will undoubtedly be
done. Wilmhifjtcn Star.
