If anv body has done anything to the farmer more thau to other peo pl I don't know U. I farmed ror eleven years and nobody done me any harm that I know of. I moved to town for schools or I would have been farming yet. it is the most honest and most upon owns little independent business earth that is if a man his farm and has got a outside iucome for an aspiring family. That in all the trouble I found. It was the aspiring family trying to keep open house like we used to in days "when niggers was, ' and the chickens and ducks aud turkeys meandered in droves all round the premises. I know more farmers who have got better off m the last ten years than any other profession. I see that the Sheriff of Sumter county has been examining the tax books and took 'a list at random of thirty-nine farmers and witriiu eight years their property has increased $180,000, and not oue of them has suffer ed a decrease. Some men will accumulate at anything and some will fail at anything. There is more in the man than in the farm. Some are shifty aud thrifty aud some unshifty and unthrifty. Thiugs are not going to be even all round in this world. It takes two worlds to strike balance-sheet between Dives and Lazarus, and even then Lazarus got the best of it. Some folks have hard luck and a hard time, but if I was going to hunt for a class of people who had a harder time than any other class, 1 wouldn't pick out the farmers. Sometimes away in the dead of a cold winter nitfht I hear the freight train rolling by. and I know; there are men at the brakes' and fire men at the tender, and they are exposed' to the rain and the storm, while I am warm nd comfortable in my pleasant home and it makes me sad and sorrowful. And just so tvheu I ruminate over the thousands of pale-face girls working in vhe cotton factories far a bars living, and thousands of work ing women who are bending over needle and thread making the shirts that I wear for three cents a piece. Oh, tne pity of it, the pity . of it ! What can we do for them ? j But this alliance business is the most harmless upheav al we have ever lad in poli tics; There is no anarchy or commuuisom in it. They just want to run themachine awhile, and I think we ' ought to let them run it. Maybe they will clean up the monopolies and trusts when they get to con gress. Maybe they will stop the corners on meat and bread. We see the book men have just formed a big trust in school bookstand the Harpers are in it. Maybe the Georgia Alliance will take hold of that and own books. Wheu our farmers fill up our j legisla ture, maybe they wont stay there 180 days and spend two hundred thousand dollars. We will all stand off and sew what they Will do and what they wopt do. We have got to stand off, for they have ruled every body out of the ring, except farmers aud country preachers. Town preachers were not con sidered sound on the goose, but I am glad they let the country preachers in, for the cood.book says : "A little leaven leavenetn the whole lump." Bill Arp. She Backed Out- The present flood in the South leads the Nashville American to recall an incident, of the great flopd of 1882. A boat coming up the Mississppi lost her way and bumped up against a f rame house. She hadn't more than touched it before an old darky rammed his head up through a hole in tne roof where a chimney came out and yelled at the captain on the boat : "Whar de debbil is yer giwne wid dat.boat?

Ever farmer knows that peas are good to improve the pil. Many have used them on ground prepared for wheat. Who can tell how muchibeneflt they were to the crop ?! From au experiment made at the North Carolina Experiment Station at Raleigh, it was found hat the increased yield of gram from the use of peas plowed' under whether alone or in conjunction with various common fertilizers was almost xactly 10 bushels per acre. This is the fertilizer to use. Who is goimr -to use it ? J. It. Chamerlain, Agriculturist. - THE VALUE OF JAPAN CLOVER. Japan Clover is a plant that is not fully appreciated by the farmers of North Carolina. There are probably In waste land and old field in North Carolina j more than 700,000 acres which are being gullied and leached by washing rains. If 'this land was sown in Japan Clover, as it might be with little trouble and at small ex pense, the laud would be rapid ly improved and at some time furnish excellent pasturage for cattle, sheep or hogs. Japan Clovarwill grow on soil too poor to j produce a crop of broom-sedge if only the land contains some clay. It will in a few years run out all the weeds and grass in a field, not excepting Bermuda grass and nut grass. The plant, though an annual, reseeds itself from year to year aud stays with the farmer. jThe seed should al ways be sown in spring. The. seed costs but twenty-five cents per pound, and five or six lbs. will sow an acre. Bulletin No. 70 contains a full dfescrip tion of Japan Clover. Sent free to those who request it. Gerald. McCarthy, Experiment Station. ECONOMY IN GOOD ROADS. The English horse, employed in the streets of a city or on the roads of the country, does twice as; much work as the American ; horse similarly placed. How? Why? Is the English horse better than the American ? Not at all. Is he overworked ? I have seen no evidence; that he is. . I have seen but one lame norse in London, j The simple explana tion is, the English has invest ed in perfect and permanent roads what the Americans ex pends in perishable horses that require to be fed. . We are sup porting hundreds of horses to drag loads through holes that ought lo be filled, over sand that should be hardened, through mud that ought not to bo permitted to exist. We have the misery of bad roads, and are actually or practically called upon to pay a premium for them.. It would be demon strably cheaper to haye good roads than poor ones. It is so here, t A road well built is easily kept in repair A mile of good maca damized road is more easily supported than a poor fcorse. Bat, after all, the broad tires of the English ve hicles have much to do with saving the roads, while our nar row ones cut them up badly. Springfield Republican. j Me. Editor : It strikes me that there is quite a change in the feelings of the drones and money manipulators in regard to farming, at -present. The fact seems to have dawned upon everybody- that farmipg id the foundation stone of all pecuniary success of this country, and it is really so. Argiculture is being talked about and its , advantages and disadvantages discussed, as the manufacturing interest was years ago, and as it has never been before: This is trood and as it should be, for upon the success of farming depends the success of all other professions in this qonntiy, with, perhaps, one exception, and that is the speculator, in money. This interest taken in farming will be of great benefit to the farm ers in several ways. By dis cussion they will get at belter methods. The farmers will be more interested in their work. encouraged to adopt new aud better plans. The discussion of the cattle. show, and stock associations will be of no little benet to all our farmers. J tt ink this is the grand through trunk line upon which we all should take passage and leave the old hard trodden dirt road, of all cotton, that we have been traveliug so long.. If the progressive men of this county can get up an interest with the farmers in stock-raising, which will bring about grass culture, they will give farming the biggest boom that this section has ever known or ever dream ed of. Instead of heaiing the farmers, complaining just a, this season of the year of the bugs killing their corn and its dying and the very bad stand they have in their bottom lands, you will hear them talking of their fine grass they have ou these lands and how much they are getting per acre, and others speaking of . their fine pastures and fine cattle and fine milk and butter. Now, "Mr. Editor, I have about four or five acres in grass aud clover that stirs up my enthusiasm more than every thing t Ise on the farm, and I have some nice tobacco at that. It is just a treat to see the horses, colts, cows, calves, hogs and chickens eat this the first of feeds. A plenty oh a very few acrea aud at such a small cost. It is one of the luxuries that you cannot appreciate until you have tried it. This grass patch holds the same relation on the farm that the farmers hold to the country, it feeds ajl. Now when every thing is well fed at a small cost the biggest expense has been met. Why your corn and fodder gives out at this time of the year and you have a few acres of clover just ready- to cut it is very encouraging and you can make your 1 crop . on this clover and save the very heavy expense of buying corn and northern hay-at very high prices, such as your . cotton patch cannot stand. I know one man with two horses who makes his crop on one-fialf acre of clover, his corn and fodder giving out about the middle of May. Will the farmers of this section get their tickets ; for this grand thro'ugh trunk liue aud make the journey to suc cess at once ? Now, Mr. Editor, I please let the farmers of this and adjoin ing counties know that this train will start about the last of August or the first of Septem ber of this rear. All who do not get tickets in time will be left until aoother year. Farmers.'get good seed, pre pare your land, and be ready. For red clay l?nds and gravelly lands with clay sub-soil get red clover and orchard grass, also the same for low made lauds. For sandy loams get orchard grass and rye. Orchard grass 1J to 2. bushels and 2 bushels rye per acre." This it; a fine mixture. Farmers of Wilson county with grasses and pastures you . can have stock and without them you can' not. This stock busiuess is going to be a big thiug in this county, so . commence your pastures this summer. To-do these things you must know how. It is the man who studies and learns how to do a thing that makes a success out of it. The means of success are here if we will learn how to apply them. I ask every sub-Allis ance in the county to have its lecturer to deliver a lecture on grass and stock at every meet ing from now until the last of August. Let each member have something to say cm this subject and if he don't know anything, let him' learn some thing. Now let all be ready to switch off from the long, drea ry road, all cotton, to the new throngh line to success. Occasionally. - To Mothers.

In a letter written by him to his Galveston relative a short time ago he gives some excellent advice to any man, but e'special!y to young men, as follows : "The grand secret of my life and my success is that I made. myself so useful that my employer could not do without me and made me a partner in a successful business, and I never spent my income, hence my wealth.

Tho New York Sun is ap proaching "praying ground." It tells itsreaders that "one hoe in the hands of a muscular farmer would do more for agriculture than all the acts of Congress' that could be passed from now until the week after never." A person with less perspicacity than the Sun thinks v?re are many other industrie ; which similar things may be -truthfully said. Mr." Clarkson, Wanamaker's assistant, complains that "in the South no Republican pa pers are printed." Well, what of that? Who forbids it ? The essential .element of success is a constituency who can read. The llepubli'cau voters iu the South have cot this accomplish ment at present and the Norths erh .Republicans .refuse to help hem by passing thj Blair bill. Mr. Clarkson's utterances recall the remark of ex-Governor IIol den when asked to. subscribe money to help run a llepubli- can .paper in Kaleigh, just alter the war.

The Puritan in general. is the same yesterday, today and forever, a fraud and a humbug. The negro" is here because he brought him here. He is in the South - because the Puritan could not hold him conscien tiously inslavery as long as the negro could bo prolitatlysold to the Southerners. I believe it was' Usher who said," 'vVheu : the Indian wouldn't go to the 1 Puritan, the Puritan went to the Indiau and then went for i him,' Bishop William describ ed him better in sayiug, 'The -i lirst thing he did after reaching ; the shores of America was to I fall upon his knees ; the next was to fall upon the aborigines.' j Puritanism, not the raue ques. S tion, is disturbing this country. 'al chronic complaint.'' Puritan ism is simply Yaukeeism. Ai ! vance readers will remember that Mr. W. J. Peele advanced this idea some time ago- And we may incidentally remark that he "hit the nail squarely on the head."
