We propose to make the paper of aa much practical value to the tillers of the soil as it is in oar power, To do so we expect onr farmer friends to help us. We hope to have at leant one original article from the pen of some practical farmer ever,' week and we here and now earnestly request them to assist us in this way and there- THE NTJMBEB INCREASING. In the twenty years ending In 1880 the number of farms in America increased from 2, 044,077 to 4,088,907. During the same period the product of the farms more than doubled in value, rising from ?1,G00,000, in 1 1859,to ?3,C00,000 in 1879. That teems to be a good, healthy growth and demonstrates the fact that our people know bet ter how to farm than onr old forefathers.

What weeping and wailing, what grief and sorrow if we could hear and see it all. Verily the increase of the human family is mixed with great tribulations.

Twelve years .to f five. How carefully these insurance com panies have studied the regu larity of irregular things. It is one of the exact sciences. They know precisely how many men will live to be seventy-five and how manv women, and they fix democrats the premiums to fit' the lon gevity, and leave a good mar-, gin for profit.; They will charge man the trifling sum or tiity cents to insure his life from here to New York, and if he is killed on the journey they will m a n .1 IT " AAA J9 pay nis iamny $i,uuu, ana make money by it. l'hey know exactly how many in a hundred thousand will be killed, it is like the rainfall in a year. It is like throwing the dice no man can tell whether lhe ace or the deuce or a'six spot will turn up, but -in a thousand throws each of the six sides have shown -uppermost the same number of times. Insurance companies know the life of a K dwelling or a gin house, or a planing mill, with as much cer tainty as the astronomer knews the coming of the moon's eclipse. But I know full well that there is no certainty of twelve years for me, and so I must be ready, ready at all times for tne summons. Let us all be ready.

All schools in the county shall be in session at the same time and but one continuous term in a year. (This prevents waste of money in a short and nseless term of two or three weeks at a time.) 6. All contracts with teachers shall be in writing. 7.

All teachers holding flr.-t Truer works have seldom been spoken than these : "Kill ing grass at home to buy hay from abroad may be wise, but it is costly." The Advance hopes to see our people raise all the hay needed at home next year. THE TRULY SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

North Carolina Teacher, Here's the way to raise yo ir meat, according to Lr. JN. J. Stuard. of Cleveland county. Sow first, for fattening hoes, i clover, then a patsure of oats which when in head can be eaten by the hogs, then a third crop of peas, then turn hogs on the peas. Afterwards feed hogs six weeks on ground corn in a mush fcrm and you will have fat hogs. And the beauty about the process is that it brings the smokehouse from f :hicatco and plants it Hquarely on your own farm where it ought to be. A valuable animal. A lady writes the Country Gentleman that ?! ' a grade Jersey cow.wek'hing 700 pounds from which she sold 9j.50 worth of butter from March 1st, 1888 to February 1st, 1889. She writes that she made 38 1 pounds of butter, of which 308 pounds was sold at thirty and thirty two cents per pound and had plenty of milk for family use. Cow's food was grass and rain water in the summer ; in win ter, timothy and oat hay, two quarts of shorts and two of middlings as a slop morning .nd night, with the chill taken off the drinking water. There was quite r. little stir yesterday -when ; it became known that Dr. Ho lge, of this county, had trough', suit against forty railway companies for taiiure to mase the annual re ports of their business, etc., re quired by law.

Railway people said to-day that the doctor was a EgurA-head and that sharp lawyers Tad worked up the matter and were seeing what could .fee done. It will be in the autumn before the mat ter comes before the Superior Court here. The" railway peo ple have no defense to make, as far as can be seen now.

Perhapsuof all abused animals in the newspaper and on the farm the common, every-day, live-as-you-can cow takes the lead. She is abused on the farm, where she ouht to be cared for, more than anywhere else. The Advance does not desire to be understood as championing the cause of the scrub" cow against those of high grade. Far from it. But it does believe that if the "scrub" cow received only a iittle of the attention bestowed ipon her more favored sister, he would yield better returns. .Ve believe that if the "scrub" ow were fed, cared for, and nlleJ as those cattle are which uch writers delight to call fancy," in something less than half a century she would cease to be a "scrub."

She is generally allowed to go as she pleases and this seems to be the correct way. The American Dairyman sums it up in this way : "If he is a summer dairyman, he will probably favor three or four months, as that takes up all the time between fall and spring butter making. If he is a winter butter maker he will shorten the time a little, as he does not consider it so impera tively necessary for drying off cows in summer when ieea is comparatively cheap. If he is an all-round dairyman.who sells milk to the city winter and sum mer, then he sees no necessity for drying off the cows at all,and he is probably right. Feed the cow correctly, and then let her go dry or not, just as she pleases.

Here's a model track farm for you, as described by M Quad in Detroit Free Press, it belongs to Dunn & Millett, Newberne, N. C, and comprises 800 acres. Last year they cleared enough from the truck to pay for the whole farm and this year the yield will be.taking last year as a basis, as follows : Forty acres of asparagus, cutting 2,000 doz en bunches; forty acres of peas, yielding 2,500 boxes; twenty five acres of beans, yielding o.OOOJjoxes; two hundred acres f potatoes,yielding 12,000 bar rels; fifty acres of cabbages, yielding 6,000 barrels) two hun dred acres of oats.yielding twen ty-one bushels to the acre; one But now for her material re sources, the manuiaclunng era has set in, and in every section natives and settler. are starting new enterprises wMch, while a source of varied profit to the communities and neighbor hoods wherein they are located, must in the aggregate largely diminish Southern dependence on the North for manufactured articles, which dependence has hitherto been, and will con tinue to be in proi ortion as it exists at all, the bane of the South's indastrial life and of the prosperity and happiness of her people. Goldsboro Argus. A 17ew Ecncdy. A railroad company is a touirh thing to run against, but the Canadian Par ill o was badly worsted in the swai.ips of Maine last Sunday. Eleven miles of catterpillars took .a fancy to crawling on the rails and defied every effort of the train to ad vance until another locomotive was sent to the rescue. New Berne Journal. As it is impossible to secure a Railroad Commission in North Carolina woald it not be well to import the catterpillars as special guardians nr. me railroads in the State. SAMPSON BLUES.
