TLie capacity of land for the pro duction is a subject which few farm ers think of and no one fully appre ciates. Piactically it is limited chie.y by the amount of money that caa be expended iu working it. The value of laud is, therefore, mainly dependent on the capital available for use on ii. While it is the capital that earns the money, the fact that ii is employed on laud raises land values. II a farmer can make ever all expenses the interest of one, two, three or five hundred dollars an acre his land, if not meauwhile losing its fertility, will within a few years be considered worth that sum. This is often shown when the adaptability of certain lands to very profitable fruit crops has been full proven. Show in any neighborhood that cer tain soils are especially adapted to grape growing, and when in full beating will produce over and above expenses the interest on say $500 or even 81,000 per acre. At once like adjacent laud unplanted with vines assume and increased value. It is argued that what has been done in one case can be done in otheis."Vhen a successful experiment in farming of any kind has been made, it quick ly results in an increased valuation of all farming lands in this vicinity. The practical importance of this fact to farmers cannot easily be overestimated. They can generally increase the value of their property in just the proportion that they in crease its productive capacity. This is a stimulus to good farming, while the opposite and prevailing policy of cropping land solely for the present profit as surely tends to soil exhaust ion. But, mistaken as this policy is, it seems to be necessitated by the conditions under which many farm ers work. They are heavilv in debt, and paying larger interest tlau they can afford. Continuous cropping seems to be, and often is,' the only immediate way fcr meeting these ob ligations. To improve tht farm is a slower way, and iu the long run more successful, but it requires cap ital that comparatively few farmers possess. Hence they crop large acreage with the grains most easily crown, and" ntcessatiir sell such grains at little or no profit. In this way the whole farm is steadily grow ing poorer, because the crops sold will not pay for the exhaustion thoy cause What is needed by farmers in this unfortunate pasition is to concen trate capita', manure and labor on a few acrfey, and make these as produc tive as possible. 13y thus concen trating effort there will probably be fair profit on crops thus gro- n. This uirtV I a used to extend the same svs torn over other parts of the farm. In the meantime, all land not subjected to the highest cultivation should be thoroughly seeded, both with clover and jjia-s. These, especially the clover, will gradually increase the soil's fertility, even without manure, and when they come under the im proved system they will be better prepared to respond. By that time, too, the more heavily manured fields will be all the better for re-seeding. If a farmer begins thus, by at first cultivating only a few acres and seed ing down the rest, he will be sur prised to find how quickly he will be able to give a good dressing of ma nure to all parts of his farm. In the meantime, some steps should be taken towards an entire change in the system of farming that has brought many Eastern farmers to their present plight. It is plainly impossible for Eastern farmers to grow grain of any kind for market. With good stock, grain for home feeding may be grown. The de pendence of Eastern farmers here after must be on breeding and sell ing superior stock, and on growing a considerable part of the feed to keep it. This will furnish the ma nure necessary to growing fruits of various kinds, wich will if carefully attended to, be another source of profitable income. A beginning towards this should also be made, on a small scale at first and increasing as it ii found to to be profitable. This is also in the direction of making the most of the farm. Wherever fruit succeeds it is when properlj cared for, more profi table than anything else the land win produce, liie profit comes however, rather from the amount of care and labor than from the number of acres. Neglected fruit orchards are least profitable and most hope less parts of any farm. Set out at first only a few trees, what you will certainly be able to manure, prune and care for. These will certainly be more profitable than large orchards planted in the enthusiasm of un founded-anticipations, and then left to care for themselves. But the orchard is on every farm the part; that offers the widest possibilities of profit, provided it b6 given the care and lab r that should be expended on it. HE WILL HAYE TO CHANGE THE CLIMATE TO DO ALL THIS. Manchester, X. II., Union. "Uncle Jerry" IJusk, the agricul turalist, who, as secretary of the De partment of Agriculture, has written a great essay on the duty of farmers, to which the Union has alluded, among other things insists that there are upwards of 350,000,000 of agri cultural imports which should be raited in this country. Among these products he includes sugar, molas ses, jute, rice, tobacco, oils and wines, and he points to New Eng. and as a horrid example of what farmors must expect if they do not pull off their coats and at onc3 go to raising these staple products. We do not know the essay writing secre tary, save by reputation, but we are acquainted with the New England climate, and one of the things that would interest our farmers would be a struggle between the two. Uncle Jerry should come here and start at once producing sugar, molasses,table oils, rice and tropical fruits. Spring has come and he can now get an early start. There isn't a farmer in the State who will not give him the right hand of fellowship and encour age his efforts in their behalf, but next fall the secretary of agriculture and the secretary of the weather will have a struggle that will knock the Rusk idea out so completely that he will wish he had confined his labor to writing high tariff essays. It won't do, Mr. Secretary. Our farm ers are not to be cajoled that way Soft talk and prettv theories will not compensate for the increaced cost of living the McKinley bill proposes. Your proposition to tax the neces sities of life cannot be sugared over by any pretended benefit the farmer is to receive. The bill does not help the farmer and the climate cannot be changed to suit your ideas. SHE WAS COMPLETELY CURED.

Turner & Co., manufacturers of cotton yarns, atTurnersburg, about 12 miles north east of Statesville, wa3 burned yes terday morning. The fire was dis covered about 1 o'clock a. m. and had made such headway that the building fell in by the time the alarm was given. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have been caused by the heating of the machinery, as a fire was started in he factory some time ago in this manner but was discovered and put out before any damage was done. Whether this or possibly a match nited by rats caused the con flagration, we suppose will never be positively known. There is no suspicion of incendiarism and there had been no fire about the building for several days. The loss is esti mated at about $20,000 with no in surance. The discovery of fire was made just in time to save the cotton house, located very near the factory, and in which several thousand dollars worth of cotton was stored. A mill bouse and cotton gin near by also escaped. StatesvilleLandmark.

Being interested in the produc tion of milk for a large number of city customers, and obtaining my supply from several neighboring farmers, I am often called on for ad vice as to what ihey shall feed to produce the quality of milk that will reach my standard of 1C per cent, cream. Some few weeks since one of my largest shippers called on me to know what he could do to bring up the quality of his milk. He was feeding good hay, corn-chops and 26 lbs, of middlings. I suggested that he substitute ground oats for the middlings, and in less than a week the percentage of cream had run up from 8 to 16 par cent I had another shipper whose milk ran down to 8 per cent, cream, and I refused to receive it. After harvest he sommenced feeding his oats in -stead of hay, and now his milk tests 20 per cent, cream. I mention these facts to show that farmers who sell butler or cream cannot afford to sell oats at 2 oc. per bushel and buy poor bran to feed dairy cows at $16 per ton. I heartily agree with several cor respondents as to the loss of time in cutting and mixing feed for cows. The additional exertion necessary for masticating the uncut hay is no doubt an advantage too cow that spends most of the winter day in her stall. I have practiced cutting and mixing feed for a herd of 50 to 75 dairy cows for five years, and am now convinced that much of the work was labor lost. I have found attention to bedding a very important factor ; the differ ence between floor and a good dry bed of leaves amount to as much as five gallons of milk in twenty-four hours. Another very important thing is regularity in time of watering. One hour will show perceptibly when you come to measure the milk. I ahvavs find my cows give the best yield when they are perfectly con tented and undisturbed. Keep jour stable quiet and well vestilated with out cold drafts. VALUE OF SALT FOR MILKING COWS. An experiment made the past sum mer with our cows proved that when a handful of salt, or about two oun ces of itwas given everyday.the yield of butter was increased one-fifth,aud when salt was withheld the j ild fell off iu the same proportion. The reasoD, beyond question, is that a salt is required for full digestion of the food, more of the food was changed into milk. Keep salt within reach of the cows. THE NEW DISCOVERY. You have heard your friends and neighbors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from personal experience ust how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunch friends, because the wonder ful thing about it is, that when once given a trial, Dr. King's New Dis coyery ever after holds a place in the house. If you have never used it and should be afflicted with a cough, cold or any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and give it a fair trial.

AND Mr. McMillan (Dem.,Tenn.,)moved to recommit the resolution, with in structions to theCommittee on Rulea to report backed resolution fixing a day for the consideration, of the Anti-trust bill alone. The motion was lost yeas, 97; nays, 125. The reso lution was then adopted, and the House in accordance with its terms proceeded to consider the Senate bill to protect trade against unlawful restraints and monopolies. Mr. Culbertson (Dem., Texas) ad vocated the bill. It confined itself, he said, to subjects over which there was confessedly noquestion about the power of Congress to legislate, and did not inyade any doubtful ground. He did not know, nor could any man know until the- rvistioa had been determined by the courts, what contracts would be covered by the terms of the bill. Mr. Morse (Rep., Mass.) inquired what effect the bill would have upon the manufacturers of proprietory ar ticles, who fixed their own price. Mr. Culbertson replied that, in his opiuion, if the gentleman from Mas sachusetts sold his Rising Sun ritove polish to the retailer under contract, that th retailer should sell at a fix- eu price ana receive a commission, this contract would be in restraint of trade. iut it was dimcuit to tell just what contracts were embraced in the provisions of bill, could tell just how broad was cut. No one a swatn Mr. Butterworth (Rep., Ohio) in- quired whether the bill would oper ate against a Chicago firm which fur nished meat to a butcher under con tract to sell at fixed price, and sub sequently set up another butcher with authority to sell at a lower price, in cider to freeze cut the first. Mi. Culbertson thought" that it would, but that was a question to be decided by the courts. If Congress would legislate within its sphere,ae.d if the State Legislature would do their duty and supplement that legis latioc, the combinations which were devouring the people of the country would be crushed out. The States were powerless unless Congress would tike charge of the trade be tween the States. Mr. Henderson (.Rep., Iowa) said that it hud oeen stated before a Con gressional coiain'ttee that a combina- tiou iu Ilhnoise had reduced the price of cattle Irom oue-third to one half, and at the same time had bsen ableto keep up the prica of every beef steak eaten at the table of the con sumcr. Would the bill hit that com bination ? Mr. Culbertson thought that would. Mr. Henderson does that go far as the constitutional power it as of Congress can go ? Mr. Culbertson That is my opin ion. Mr. Wilson (Eem., W. Va.) criti- ciseJ the majority for its method of conducting business, ltie ru;es were so administered mat no memoer could tell what measure would be brought up for the day's delibera tion. TheCommittee on Rules came in morning after morning with reso"? lutions for the immediate considera- tion of some great public question, This performance was fast becoming a travesty upon free government,and the House was legislating, not under the committee system, but under the caucassystem.Uere wasa bill bristling with pains snd penalties, making criminal acts which to-day were not criminal, deranging the course of I trade among the State3, introducing doubt and distrust into business; yet the Hou?o was called upon to put it on the statue books without a delib" j eration or intelligent discussion,when ! the gentleman in charge of it (Mr. Culbertson),as learned and able a lawyer as there was in the House, j said time and again that it could only be interpreted by the courts. He did not believe that the bill would accomplish its object. The first and most deadly blow at trusts must come, from the States, TALKING ABOUT MEAT OTHER TRUSTS. The States gave the charters. The or Treasurer, a '-Certificate of Mem courts of New York had held that bership'Vill be furnished, which will when a corporation, chartered by the entitle the holder to all special rail law of a State for public purposes, way and hotel rates at every one of entered into a combination by the the various privileges of the assembly surrender of its stock, it vacated its charter. If anybody supposed that this bill, no matter how it bristled with pains and penalties, would pre vent combinations in the nature of trusthe did not understand the ma- chinery and method of operation of trusts. What was the cause of trusts in tihs country? There were trusts when the supply was greater than the remunerative demand. It was only when the power of production outstripped the power of consump- tion that trusts arose. For a con- crusted market and overproduction there were but two remedies. One remedy was commerce; and the other was trusts. The ports must be thrown open and the agricultural and manufactured products sold to other buyers, or the hand must be placed on the throttle and the supply brought down to the demand. Mr. Fuuston (Rep , Kan.) inquired what the law wa? which prevented American farmers fforn exporting their products low. Mr. Wilson replied that when the first tariff bill was introduced ir the House the propsition was made to impose a duty of eight cents a gallon on molasses. The members, from Massachusetts opposed the proposi tion on three grounds. Some were opposed to placing a burden on poor people who consumed molasses; oth. ers wanted molasses free as a raw material, and a third class said: ''Why, we trade fish for molasses; if ycu keep out molasses you keep in fish." Laughter. Here was a tax of one cent a pound on tin plate. ' and the Ways and Means Committee increased the duty, and thus shut in agricultural products. The United States had been keeping out wool under the tariff. In this rich coun try, with its great corporations and its great wealth, the Government gathered one-tenth of its revenue from the people who wore woolen goods, thus imposing a merciless tax upon the consumer. A prosper ous country should invigorate every channel of indnstrv and make it flow hvith greater copiousness, but by warring against commerce Congress would compel home productions to farm omninations and trusts in or der to do away with the surplus products and bring down the producs tion to the needs of the people. OFFICIAL TO N. C. TEACHERS. TnE Seventh session of the Assem bly The Features of the Meet ing Fers, Expenses, &a An event of special importance to the teachers of North Carolina will be the seventh annual session of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly at Morehead City, June 27 30, 1S90.

It will be a time i to make most pleasant and acquain tances, renew and strengthen old friendships, exchange professional experiences with those who are work icg in lines like jour own, and to get broader, deeper and more practi cal conceptions of popular educa tion. There will be full and free presen tation 8nd discussiouof such methods of teaching as are adapted to the pe cuiiar conditions of our educational systems. Teachers cannot be too strongly urged to be present who desire to become more efficient in their work, to know why the most successful members of the profession succeed to secure a good school position or a change of location for the fall term; to gain aa educational inspiration, or to recover from the fatigue of a school term by the unfailing influ- ences of the refreshiag " sea breeze and the exhilaration of an ocean I bath. The expenses of your trip will be I exceedingly light a two weeks' vis- it to the Assembly, including roun- tiip railroad fare from the most dis tant portion of the State and first class board at the famousAtlanticHo- tel, need not cost over $25. The to. tal average expense of attendance for the entire session, including rail- road fare and board, will not exceed $1S. The professional and social value of the meeting to a teacher will be many times greater than the slight expense of attendance. The annual lees for membership in the Teachers' Assembly 8re S2 for males and $1 for females. Upon payment of the fee, to the Secretary sesssion. Friends of education.upon recommendation ot county superin- tendents, are permitted to attend the Assembly on same terms as teachers. a The various railroads of the State nave maae especially ior tue ossein bly a very liberal rate of aoout one and a half cents a mile eacn way.

ECGESE G.' 1 1 ARE 1XL, Secretary. SAM JONES- Srat Clironkle. That man of God, the Reverend Samuel P. Jones, is in Charlotte at this time, justifying the ways of God to men. Up to last evening he had called the people of that devoted city hounds, lousy calves, dirty dogs, fools and contemptible puppies, and had said of the best people of the city (who are as good people as dwell on earth) that they would net be allowed to sweep out the kitchens of the bon-ton of Baltimore. If he talked that way on the street instead of in a "tabernacle" he would get both eyes blacked and be sent to the rock-pile. Statesyille Landmark. The Landmark does well to con demn the excess to which Sam Jones goes. There is no man in Charlotte or the State who will endorse or de fend the assaults he made upon the good citizens of that town. But while this is true, the rule that we apply in making an estimate of all men ought to be applied to Sam Jones. We ought not to judge him by bis harsh and unjust expressions alone ; nor by Lis witticisms alone ; nor by his genius alone ; nor by his eloquence, and earnestness, and ack nowledged ability alone. All these ought to be considered in making an I estimate of Sam Jones' influence. ILe men and women who have been - , , , ,- , , -. induced bv him to lead a new strumental in makinrr : the drunken ! men tie Las inspired witti new rc- . . . . , 1, j- - ii i i- i solves to reiorm ; ine orptians liis labor and his appeals keep in com fort: the hearts he has helped to warm and cheer all these thin ougnt to be weigned m ttie scales and set over against his buffoonery, his extravagant language, his abuse and his broad jokes. Ii we consider him all around, as we ought to do every man before passing judgment upon him, we will find that the Rev. Sam P. Jones is a creat deal better and more useful man than the Land mark appears to believe that he is. and a great deal worse than many of his admirers regard him. Averaged up, we would say that he is a genius' full of the inconsistencies and weak ness of genius, and also full of the power and earnestness and ability of genius. At least, such is our esti mate. We are willing to confess that we had a certain lodged preju dice against the Rev. Sam defore we ever heard him. Aftef htarinsr him our estimate changed, and is about as above sketched. We believe his broad jokes and his coarse lansuaere ouerut not to nnd a place in the pulpit. We know that it greatly retards his usefulness, and drives away from him thousauds who might be won by his pathos and his earnest presei.tation of the gospel He evidently believes these objectiots to be valuable in attracting and win ning the people, whereas they have the opposite effect. Even the preachers and pious meu and women who co-operate with him, deplore his ... ., . . , coarseness, wnue tuey aamire ins boldness and are won bv his earnest ness. Sam dones ought to reform.
