DIVERSIFIED FARMING,
Diversified farming is something
more than the growing of a few of
ihe staple crops, and raising the food
supplies necessary for the men and
stock employed upon; the farm. This
is good as far as it goes, and is di
versifying as far as l it goes, but it
does not go far enough, that is if it
be tbe aim of the man who farms to
get tbe most remuneration for his
labor and the most profit out 'of the
land he cultivates. The thrifty, ob
servant farrner' will keep his eyes
open, note qrhat bis brother farmers
art "doing, what they are raising, and
when he fiads the market either ov
erstocked o likefy tofbe overstocked,
prices falling and likely to continue
to fall, and will turn his attention to
something ttat so many are not en
gaged in raising, and for which there
is a fair demand and remunerative
prices. .
The farmers of Georgia who had
sagacity enough some years ago to
drop cotton and turn their cotton
field? into peach orchards made a
master stroke, and are now not only
independent but some of them have
incomes of $25,000 or, more a year.
That was sagacious thnlt which
struck out on a new line, raised some
thing which few were raising, and in
tfhich there was consequently little
or no competition, and for which
there was an eager and increasing
demand. Others have profited by
the example they set, and the success
they have met with, and there are now
thousands of acres planted in peach,
pear and other choice fruit trees in
Georgia, and the number is being
largely added to every year not only
by Georgians but by ,f ruit-growers of
other States who have been attracted
to Georgia by the advantages it pre
sents and the success of those who
have been engaged in fruit-growing.
. North Carolina, too, has made
very considerable progress in fruit
growing, but less, considering -the
advantages she enioys, than she
should have made. Bat it wouldn't
m3o for every farmer to go to raising
fruit for market, for . in that event
the market would " soon be over'
stocked and- they would show as
little judgment as they did in stick
ing to cotton" until it dropped to five
cents a pouid and they couldn't get
money enough out of it to pay the
fertilizer bills, - Even with the com
paratively small acreage devoted to
fruit culture in the South, it is only
the early fruit which, pays well, that
which reaches the market before the
Northern fruit begins to come in,
unless the growers have canneries in
which to can and preserve the fruit
which it does not pay to market
after the rush begins. With can
neries it will be a reasonably safe in
dustry for some years to come, even
- with a considerable increase in pro
duction. - But there is one branch of the in
dustry which is in no danger of being
overdone for many years, for which
there is a large and annually increas
ing demand, and in which there is
promise of more clear money with
less labor and less risk, than in any
other industry dependent upon the
soil. We refer to tree culture and
nut culture, confining attention to
the pecan, the.soft shell hickory, and
the walnut. The man who will give
his attention to the platting of any
or all of these cannot miss it, and
will be as sure, if not -surer of a
handsome income when they come in
bearing, 'if he plants a reasonable
amount of land, than the Georgia
peach-grower, with his big orchard,
or the Florida orange-grower, with
his big grove. " . '
There is one advantage in nuts;
the grower need -not rush them to
market to get ahead of other -grow-y
ers, but can take his time and market
them to suit bis convenience or pleas
are. They 'are not perishable like
r fruit, do not lose in weight like corn
' or wheat, or waste like cotton, out
, will ' keep indefinitely without 1 nursing.-
Once planted there is no more
plowing nor planting, for nature does
alt the rest, except to pick and house
the nuts. She will shake them off if
the man doesn't attend to his busi
ness, but he mast do the housing."
- Leaving nuts out of the question,
the planting of walnut and hickory
trees would . be . a good. thing for a
man's family where he had, say,
thirty 6r forty acres: that be ' didn't
rare to or couldn't cultivate. --y &
Walnut and I hickory timber are
both in great demand now, and the
demand wifl continue to increase be;
cause the ?suppiyi Is banning less
every year. At tne ena ot ten years
some of these trees would be suffi
ciently grown to have a marketable
value, and one acre of them, would
more than pay the" cost ipf planting
oat ! fdrty acres;"But in the mean
time the trees would be producing
crops of nuts that would many times
pay 4 the cost, of planting. But
whether there were a cent made from
the muts or not the walnut or the
hickory grove would be there, grow
ing and becoming annually more
valuable, as a substantial inheritance
for the boys and girls who are now
toddling around.!
As we see it, in all the branches of
industry connected with the farm,
there is none so inviting or promis-

can be done with little outlay of
money and without interfering much
With other work on the farm.

It has often been remarked that
the South has many resources of
wealth which people, pass by every
day and give them scarcely a
thought, while many look upon them
as nuisances. Year after year, until af
ter the war when cotton seed were
utilized in making oil, thousands of
tons were dumped into the rivers to
get rid of them, and cotton gins were
moved to get them out of the way of
the piles of seed that had accumu
lated around them. Now the cotton
seed re worth over $40,000,000, and
vet much eoes to waste. The
plebeian blackberry which persists in
growing in spite of the efiorts of men
to kill it and of hogs to root it up,
has been known to yield berries that
paid more money in one season than
the assessed value of the land on
which they were grown. 1 Some time
ago we called attention to an article
in the Charleston News and Courier,
enumerating some of the valuable
uses which it was discovered that the
scrub palmetto of that State could be
put , to, and now we find in the Jack
sonville, Fla., Citizen; a communica
tion from 'Mr. W. F. Rotzien, of St.
Andrew's Bay, a man of practical ex
perience, on the varied and valuable
uses to which the saw palmetto of
that State can be put. He -writes to
Commissioner Cnipley of the Cotton
States Exposition, thus:
"I have spent a great deal of time dur
ing the last three' years in experiment
ing with the various nses of the pal
metto. I can say that it is worth to the
State more than all the pine and oranges
together. . I make a fiber from tbe leaf
for mattresses. It has no equal I have
made over a hundred and fitly mattresses
in two years. 1 use tbe root for brushes.
and they are the best flesh and batb
brushes made. ' The root contains more
tanuin ihan oak bark for tanning leather,
The berries are valuable for medicine.
Florida is almcs: the only State that
ships tbem by tons. Two years ago I
shipped 760 000 pounds at 5 to 9J cents
a pound What I desire to call your at
tention to is the mattresses. As I am a
poor man, I should ike some one to help
me. I cannot see why tbe exposition
would not be a good place to show Ihe
fiber, which is far better in every respect
than Florida moss. What assistance can
you give me for an exhibit JL We should
have a paper mill in the State also, to
make paper from the palmetto. One acre
will produce from 450 to $500 a year. I
sold palmetto berries that I gathered on
less than one-sixteenth of an acre for
$26.70. and I have mde $9 00 worth of
brushes from one root. Any palmetto
land will make fiber twice a year at three
cents a pound.
Allowing a good deal for exaggera
tion if this saw palmetto is worth
anything like the estimate this prac
tical man puts upon it Florida can
stand an orange freeze-out once in a
while without being ruined or very
seriously hurt, that is if she turns the
saw palmetto to account.

The Populist leaders In the last
campaign played economy and re
trenchment as one of their big cards.
Their platform condemned'the last'
General Assembly of the State for
its lavish and reckless waste of the
people's money." In " the general
scramble for loot they forgot all
about this when they and their Re
publican allies met at Raleigh to
parcel out the spoils, and to make
more spoils when there were no more
to be divided. . They increased the
expenses of the General Assembly in
the payment of clerks and other
employes over $6,000 and have spent
a fotat of $125,000 more than the
preceding Legislature and then failed
to do a good many things they prom
ised to do. To meet these increased
expenditures it was necessary to in
crease taxation when every one was
told by the stumpers arid organs of
the combine that expenses would be
reduced and taxation lowered rather
raised. What blue-ribbon frauds
they were. --I

THE PROCLAMATION.
WORKING UP SENTIMENTS APPRO
PRIATE TO THANKSGIVING. ...
A Boucrh Draft Goes tbe Rounds and
Pick Up Additions In Inks ot All Col
or Finally Engrossed on Cream Col
ored. GUt Edged Paper and Signed.
The concoction of that time honored
document, the Thanksgiving proclama
tion, which sails forth annually as the
impromptu expression of the national
Executive's religions gratitude, is the
terror of the state department. Every
year it is called upon to produce some
thing new in that line, and its efforts to
say the same thing in a different way,
to avoid if possible verbatim copying
of last year's letter, is one of the vener
able jokes of the diplomatic greenroom.
About the first ox second week of No
vember, everybody knowing that the
day falls on the last Thursday of that
month, the chief clerk or some assist
ant secretary suggests that it is time to
think about the "proclamation. "
Tne cniel cleric accordingly runs
down the list of drafting clerks, ascer
tains which of Uncle Sam's servants is
at the time basking in innocuous desue
tude and dispatches to the delinquent
by messenger an order to get up a draft
for the proclamation.
This rouses the clerk from his lethar
gy, tie nses to tne situation wltn alac
rity. His first inspiration is to turn out
a paper different from its predecessors.
The second arrests the divine afflatus.
What on earth can he say that has not
been said?
He writes the word "whereas" and
pauses. In despair, at length, ne turns
for help to the classics that is, he con
sults what van JBuren, Tyler and Fill
more have said in past years and makes
that a groundwork for a draft This
embryo proclamation is then sent,
through the chief clerk, to the assistant
secretaries.
The first touch up the document re
ceives is the insertion of a lot of capital
H's for deification, which the clerk has
forgotten in the throes of composition.
Then an assistant secretary, finding it
remiss in pious fervor, proceeds to in
sert piety with red ink marginal notes.
Thus the word prayer is followed by
songs of praise," and "tribute of grat
itude" is bracketed after worship. o
long, so faithfully has this servant of
the people discharged this self appoint
ed task that he is known in office par
lance as the "dmne lnvocator.
Thus revised the draft proceeds to
tome other grand mogul of tbe diplo
matic greenroom, who finds that now
that the Deity has been duly attended
to something complimentary is due the
nation at large. So carets, in blue pen
cil, insert "our prosperity and great
ness," the "labors of our people" or
"our marts of trade and traffic. "
This tricolor draft is now handed
around again and encounters an official
in a new vein. His lunch did not agree
with him. He is in a penitent mood.
Seizing a pencil, he adds "that we have
not been visited with swift punishment
for our shortcomings."
Another handles the document ana
finds that it is too general, fails to iden
tify the year, so he brings in a few
masterstrokes in purple indelible pot
hooks alluding to the "deadly march of
and "fury of the elements."
The document now seems to meet the
requirements. It is sent to an engross
ing clerk, who proceeds to "fecit secun
dum artem, " like a drug clerk making
up a prescription. There are rules to be
observed, rules as inviolable as those
governing the Bank of England. A cer
tain cream colored gilt edged paper is
used. An elaborately ornamental title
is' flourished half way down the page in
old German capital script announcing
A Toolamation by the President of the
United States. " The original whereas
has met with many vicissitudes during
tne travels of tne draft.
Restored to its proper dignity, the
chief difficulty now is to disentangle the
many colored insertions which crawl
like caterpillars all over the sheet. By
standing on his head, squinting on the
bias or thumping his guessing bump to
its utmost the engrossing clerk at last
turns out a highly respectable and dec
orous looking document.
I He submits it to the chief clerk.

person seldom, if ever, stops to tbinK
that men work day after day deep down
in the water or the mud, with none but
artificial light to guide their move
ments and only the air that is pumped:
to breathe. -
People who work in the open air
would have only to work for a short
time in a diver's suit, a caisson or an
air lock, getting, a taste of , what it is
like and hotf it feels, to be cured forev
er of grumbling at their lot and to thank"
their lucky stars that it has Deen or
dained that they work, on top of -the
earth. The work of adiver," his sensa
tions while under water and his experi
ences have often been written about,
but those of the air lock and caisson
worker have not While be does not;
face the danger of fouling pipes and.
lines, as does the diver, he 6tays down
longer, gets warmer, and his great dan
ger lies in the stagnation of .blood and '
paralysis, resulting from the Change of
atmosphere. .
Mr. R. C. Bapier of East Cambridge
is an air lock worker and talks most in
terestingly. His work was mainly in the
air locks used in building the great Hud
son river tunnel. To a reporter he talk-,
ed of some of the sensations, dangers and
experiences. He said that, while a man
working on the surface of the earth
bears up an atmospheric pressure of 15
pounds to the inch, men in the locks
bear a pressure of from 15 to 50 pounds
of compressed air, according to the
depth. The heaviest pressure ever work
ed nnder was borne by five divers on.
the Swedish coast 65 pounds. Four of
these died five minutes after coming out
While as a general thing the diver
stands not nearly that amount of pres
sure and seldom stays down more than
two hours, the men in the Hudson river
tunnel stood a pressure of from 45 to
46) pounds and worked in four hour
ahifta. Some men staid down 20 hours
at a stretch, but did not work all the
time, and Superintendent Haskins once
staid down 24 hours. The sensations
experienced are peculiar. . When a man
first steps in, there is a tingling in the
ears and a pain in the head, and when
he talks it is apparently through tbe
nose. This is caused by the pressure,
and the remedy is to hold the nose,
close the mouth and blow against the
ears. This relieves the pain and stops
the sensation. When the pressure is all
on, tbe worker feels all right and expe
riences no discomfort Then there is a
sort of exhilaration, and a man does
more work in the lock than he could do
outside.
Another peculiar thing about the ao
tion of tne pressure is that a man may
nave liquor enough aboard when out
side to just make him feel jolly, but
when he steps intothe lock he is as
drunk as a loan. The danger lies in
coming out of the pressure into the open
air. It is then that a man is apt to suf
f er from stagnation of the blood and
paralysis, caused by the change of at
mosphere. Besides this a man may be
attacked in the head or stomach with
severe pains. Three out of five cases
where the head and stomach are attack
ed result fatally.
Another severe malady resulting from
the change is what is called the bends.
This is the air getting in between the
flesh and the bone. It is extremely pain
ful and so severe that a quart of whisky
administered in half an hour would not
intoxicate the patient. The stagnation
and paralysis are the worst dangers
and do the work quickly. Many men
have been keeled over by these causes,
and not a few die. Old timers at the
business sometimes get caught Mr.
Rapier himself was twice attacked.
The remedy for this paralysis is a quick
return to the air lock. The effect of the
pressure varies on animals, as is shown
by the mules used m the Hudson river
tunnel. Some of these beasts are kept
at work down below for a year, and on
being brought up are worth more than
when they were taken down. Others
that had only been in the works four
months had to be killed.
Tbe men as a general thing do not
remain a great many years at the busi
ness, and a man should never work at
It after he is 40 years of age. Cutting a
hole and building a tunnel through wa
ter is an extremely difficult thing and
by many was thonght to be impossible.
Still it was done in the case of the Hud
son river tunnel, and the method, as
told by Mr. Bapier, is very interesting.
The work on the tunnel had progressed
until a body of water was struck. How
to tunnel through this hole of water
was a puzzling question. It was done in
this way. A so called balloon was con
structed by making a netting of wire
rope and covering this netting with can
Vas. ihe interior ot the balloon was
then filled with blue clay and salt hay.
When filled, the balloon, 80 feet in
diameter, weighed 140 tons. The hole
of water was then located, and with the
aid of a huge steam derrick the balloon
was dropped into the hole. Then several
scowlpads of dirt were dumped down '
on to the balloon, and the whole thing
Was left to settle.
At the end of ten days the work of
cutting through the balloon was begun.
This was a very difficult job.. An idea
of what hard cutting it was may be
gained from the fact that, it took two
months to dig through the SO feet The
plates and brick were going in as the
Work progressed. Boston Herald.
