The "Journal" emphatically asserts that It will pay, and does so on the in fallible evidence of experience, for besides having been a cotton plan ter ourselves in a small way and knowing that bur best paying crop always was cotton, we have seen such results with others as to satis fy the most skeptical on the point.

And to find something that would destroy them has been almost a"n entire failure as far as I have seen. Three years ago I procured some turkey eggs togetjier with a lieu, and when the eggs were hatched the turkeys were all put in the garden lor protection, and after they were of some size we noticed they were searching the collards and eating the worms, and thev kept them pretty well clean of the worms. We got to letting them pas in and out. I suppose guinea fowl u onld In? sus uei td as the turkey if they could be kept 'in the garden as well, and unless they are kept in, neither one areof much use. Some would think, the turkeys would eat the collards. but if they are kepi in the garden and fed well and sheltered from the heavy rains while young, (which are the main points in raising good turkeys) they will not eat them to hurt. Their feed should consist mainly of com bread without salt three times a day, until ol sufficient size to eat crn. The more they are fed in reason the less thev will reat the ollails or ca ohage.

The editor of the Boston "Clole" writes of women : ''They are the laughing sex. Notice them' iu con versation, either with their own or the other sex. . Their laces are in variably wreathed with smiles, aud they laugh incessantly. Is it habit or is it the result of a more highly organized nervous system what the superior scientist contemptu ously calls a "hysterical organiza Hon" or is it the woman's inborn desi:e to please, finding expression by seeming interested and amused, or is it that a woman really is more easily amused than a man? Per haps it is a combination of all four. At any rate it forms as distinctive a line between the sexes, as any of the common jeculiarities which are supposed to characterize one sex or the other." ii i ii in About midnight be How She Caused a Disturbance.
