The impression that ''anybody ! can run a farm'' would be a matter fpr astonishment were it not so commonly met with. The writer of this at one time had some connec tion with a State institution be longing to which was a farm of some hundreds of acres carrying a large quantity of stock. In case cf a proposed or expected change of farmers some of the applications 'or the position were as astounding as amusing. Men who had never been able to make a living for themselves ; men. who had mime low positions fn towns : filled men who could not read or write ; men whose only claim to kuowledge of farming was that they had lived on alarm when boys; idle, drunken -pr.,IIIl.J , nil cut JUCllCi O 111 VI Ut . i All these counted themselves abun dantly qualified to take charge of 50,0h0 worth of property and suc cessfully manage it. It hasusually becn easy to make a living on American farms, but we fully be lieve there is 110 legitimate business which requires more ability and sound . judgment than does farm ing, if the highest success is to be secured. Mr. Gladstone, not long since, said 111 effect that it required more skill and good judgment to manage a farm employing a .given amount of capital than to manage a lnanniactnring or mercantile bus iness with equal capital. ' lie was referring to England, but the state ment is not far from correct 111 America. We need hardly say that no line of.farming more decid edly calls for intelligence, sound judgmentbusiness knowledge and I capacity, than does the eariiur for and management of improved stock.

While it is not a part of my bus iness fo grow cotton at this time, yet iu past years I have grown enongh of it to know that the plan of checking is by far the most eco nomical. The crop can not only be cultivated' with less lalior but the product is also greatly increased generally, I suggested an imple ment for manuring and plowing out the crop simultaneously. This implement 1 hope yet to see inanu facf tiled and adopted on those cot ton farms where intensive princi ples are appreciated. Nearly all the large yields of cotton, from Warthen's f bides down, have been made by the checking plan, and the only complaint I have heard from farmers who have acted on my suggestions was the difficulty ! of securing a perfect stand when the seed were dropped in checks, but in nearly every case where a poor stand was complaiued of it was admitted that the product was as much or more than the usual drilling would have given. There need be no difficulty m securing a perfect sfsuid if enough seed are dropped in the check. Failure to get a good si and resulted generally from one trying fo get it by using onlv four or live seed, to the check. I Unless the laud is very linely pre j pared and quite free from cut I worms this small number of seed to the check will not insure a perfect stand. It is safer to use fifteen or i twenty seed, scattering them as i much as possible in the check. If II of the seed come up a good plowman can cut out a good many of them at the first working, with the harrow. The first cultivating should Aie doue with a harrow a one horse 10-tooth harrow; and the j right kind of tooth may lie made to cut an one tnree or iour oi ine young plants. The hoes following a week or so al ter ca uncomplete the thiiiiiing. and generally there need be no luiiher resort to the hoe when the cotton is checked, it is ' not well fo thin down too closely ; (to one or two plants) while the i plants are tender and-susceptible ;to the rut-worm. Three or four i plants ought to be allowed to re 1 main until they get too tough for the worm; then they should lie , thinned to one or two. At a dis tance of :"x" feet, if the laud is j rich and manured, one is all that . ought to be allowed to remain. All the liest yields have been 'made with one. On medium laud some j times two may be. better than one. i If the land has been well prepared j at plaiiting time the harrow is just i the very implement to start the ' young cotton off to growing har I row one way and then the other. If : the soil is inclined to run together when the cotton is about 18 inches j high, the middles may be broken i oui adCautageously with a double- shovel two turrows 10 tncmiuuic, first one way and then the other; then return to the harrow or 28 inch sweep for further cultivating one time coins to the njiddle. ting a stand of checked cotton if any care is used, and farmers ! should not be deterred from adopt j ing the plan on that score. Sa- j vannah ''News." " , ! A flew Way to get Rid of an Ob jectionable Tenant. A darkey landholder of this city rented a farm not loug siuee to an other negro, of whom after a time he heard bad reports. Concluding that he would get rid of the tenant, he endeavored to get hini to leave and to secure the return ot the written agreement. This failing, he hit upon the idea of "conjuring" the bad tenant. So- one day t he tenant was surprised to see the owner walk up to the house door, take forty steps in front, then twen ty steps to one side, and at the last stopping place begin digging a hole in the ground. At thi stage of the game auother negro, an accom plice of the property owner, ap. peared. He looked with well leign ed horror at the mysterious move ment of the owner. In a moment lie said to the tenant, "Look at him; don't y on seo-what heisdoing; you are gone up; he is 'conjuring' you." rTho tenant turned pale with fright. Now he understood the mysterious movement, the digging ot the hole into 'which the. owner was at that moment placing a bot tle, muttering strange words and acting more strangely than ever. The owner's "friend" here ' suggest ed that it was high time for action. The badly frightened tenant thought so too and started towards the owner, saying "I'll leave, I'll leave." Getting nearer the owner, the now abject and thoroughly frightened tenant, who had come down from his high horse, said if he ouly had fifty cents he would move in half an hour. When ask ed why he wanted fifty cents, he said it was to hire a wagon to move his "plunder." The tenant got the half dollar, rushed back in to the house, produced the contract of lease and with trembling eager ness gave it to the owner, who at once destroyed it. In ten minutes.' the late tenant was moving out and long ere the half hour lnul expired the house was vacant. The con juring plan of removing an unsatis factory tenant was an entire sue cess, beating a law suit many points so far as time, trouble and money are concerned.

They met by npioiutnieiit, jumped into a buggy and' started for the minister's residence. Miss Carter's fither got w;ndofthe affair, quickly harnessed another horse and drove after them. A race resulted for over an hour, aud as the horso driven bv the irate parent was superior to that driven by young Smith, the latter found it nec essary, to force his horse into a gallop; After ten miles hail been traversed in this manner the trace of Carter's harness broke, and this accident enabled Smith to reach the minister's house in time to permit , of- the ceremony being preformed : before Mr. Carter's arrival.

In the course of an hour he returned that way aud was utterly amazed again to see it all together again except the tail piece. After waiting a few minutes he saw the tail coming up to join the body, taking sharp, quick little jerks. It came nearer and nearer until, within a few inches of ti e three-quarleV Miake, when it gave :i sudden jump and "hitched on in its proper place with a fuss resemb ling the (topping of a cap. The darkey knocked it to pieces several times, and each time it came to gether again. He lyuried his amusement too far, however, in throw ing the tail part of the snake across the creek, just to .see, -he said, -how long it would take it to catch' up,'. hut. .it never caught 'up. 1 he snake, with its three joints, was' curried to the house, where a new tail is beginning to grow to re place the lost one.

Tlie defendant dof not deny that he aen ded to tne , request and inspected ihe. mice, but (tossibly liecause t heir iuqmr tauce was exaggerated he did not... buy them. The plaintiff, on learn ing these facts, instant tv refusodtn live any longer with her husband, and began a suit for divorce, bused wholly upon the incident just re lated. It will of course lie .maintained by the husband that Ihe casual in spection of certiiin 'alleged" inqnir taut white luk'e vvas in no way a breach of his marriage vows, and he will show Without difficulty that habitual intimacy wit n animals much larger than mice uieli us dogs, horses, and cattle has' (lever Wen held to be sufticient ratise lot , divorce. There is lit tie doubt, how . ever, that the plaintiff' h is very strong case, and no jury w ill lor u moment think. of putting mice on a level with less dangerous, if larger, animals.
