Importance of Personal attention.

1t was one of the wise sayings of that
great philosopher, DR.. Franklin, "If you
want any thing done we'll, go-if not,
send" There is in this, as in most Of his
sayings, great practical truth, and in its
observance much vexation and disappoint-
ment would be avoided, and much real
gain be realized. In no business is it more
applicable than that of planting and in
none are its consequences more disastrous.
Ours is a business which has its times and
Its seasons, in which we must act promptly;
for the opportunity once sighted never
returns. How important that it be well
improved The man of ease says to his
negro, "go plant the CROP" trusting too
often tc his discretion or fidelity. The sea-
son for planting passes-the wheat or the
oats, come up too thin or too thick--or
either, by turns--here too much have been
sowed, there too little. The corn, some
how, doesn't come-badly dropped-ten
grains in one hill, none in the next-one
hand covering too deep, another scarcely
hiding it from the sight of the first bird
that passes that way in search of break
fast. The Cotton seed dropped in punches
here handful, there skip. The hap
py negro cares motifs all the same to
him whether it is good stand or bad
one. He, perhaps, is looking out for the
approach Of the overseer, or is watching
the fight of birds, or perhaps still more
happy in the opportunity of making up
for loss ofsleep the night before-nodding
when his attentions are all needed in
the execution Of his work. Tis badly done,
bnt this fatal discovery is never reyeled
until the sad story of failurei 10 the coming
up is manifested. 1t is then too late--all
the abuse and bluster common to such
occasions cannot repair the injury, Days

are needed about other woTk---still the evil
exists, and the fate Of the crop Il fixed, and
the loss Of the year is the consequence

Fruit Trees.

There are sixty species of the Pepper
tree.
The great Palm or Date tree grows in
Africa to the height of sixty, eighty and
hundred feet.
The Cinnamon tree is species of Lau-
rel, and is native Of Ceylon. 1t grows
to the height of twenty or thirty feet, and
its trunk and branches produce the bark.
The Mshoggany tree is native of Gu
ba and Jnmaica, and grows from sixty to
one hundred feet high, with deep green
foliage, orange colored flowers, and fruit
the size of large egg.
The Panama of Plaintain is the most
useful of trees. Its fruit twelve inches
long and two thick, serves for bread, while
the leaves serve for cloth and covering:
the root is perennial, but the stalk is an
nual, and grows to fifteen or twenty feet
high.
A Chestnut tree grew at TEAMWORK which
was fifty two feet round. 1t was planted
in the year 800, and in the reign of Ste
phen in ll45, was made a boundary, and
called the Great Chesnut Tree. In 1859,
when at the age Of nine hundred and fifty
nine years, it bore nuts which produced
young trees. ... r... f .|"
Among the earliest trees which put
forth their foliage in America, are the
Willow, Poplar and Alder; next are the
Eastwood, Horse-Chestnut, OAK, Beech,
Ash, Walnut and Mulberry, which are not
all usually in full leaf before the middle Of
June.
Trees are often found in Lapland and
Siberia, converted into iron orc and car
Donate of copper. Lignites are petrified
trees, in a state between peat and Goals.

Irish Potato Slips

In your April number, page 24o, I
noticed directions for keeping the Irish
potato sound after digging. Your direc-
tions are good. My plan is somewhat
different and has proved very successful.
Mix two bushels of charcoal with one
bushels Of aire Stacked lime for every 80
bushels of potatoes, and sprinkle the
mixture through the potatoes imme-
diately after moving them from the field
In this way you may keep them perfectly
sound until the spring.
Inasmuch as seed potatoes are with
difficulty obtained at any price, 1 have
been planting the Irish potato for the last
three years by drawing the slips, and find
that they produce in this way quite as
well as well as the Yam potato. One
bushel of Irish potatoes planted in this
way, will prodoce more than two bushels
planted from the seed. Bed them as you
do the Yam, draw the slip, open wide
furrow with the plow, and plant them in
it on the horizontal plan, as you do grape
cuttings, leaving from two to four inches
ofthe top out Of the ground.
Mr.. Goblet, in an essay on the Irish
potato crop, written in 1915, predicts that
it will eventually fail. To this opinion we
dissent. The Irish potato is a native of
America, where it grows wild, and was
transplanted in Europe, where it became
an indispensable article of food, and where
it has been cultivated with great success
under forced culture. Neither is the Irish
potato native of the Northern States.
And yet we have been hewers of wood
and drawers of water to the Yankees un-
til we have forgotten when to dig out our
own potatoes or save them. Necessity
now forc,s us to change our system of
agriculture. The original stock ofpotato-
es has become exhausted. We must re-
new it. Draw from your present crop
slips or vines, when from to 10 inches
long plant as before described, in good
loose fresh soil; gather your potato apples
or balls, and you will get fresh start.
BY drawing the slips, you get clear of
the parent potato which is diseased. The
potato apple will probably produce sew
eral kinds Of potatoes, and premium of
800 by the Southern Central Agricultural
Society, would probably bring the energy
of our farmers to bear on this subject, and
bring to notice new and improved varieties.

preciate the value and Importance of seed

The last was the question Of Abby Rolden,
a handsome but pert-looking girl, nearly
head taller than those of her age around
her. A sort Of sarcastic smile played
over her lips, and in her fine black eyes,
marking her as one Of the genius school
girl species, "a great tease" Nr

GooD sESsE.--Fsmevs ought to hus-
band their land as well as their time. and
If any thing the first is the most important
Of the two. We Of the South have been
too prodigal in this respect, and the conse-
quenee is, that year after year acre upon
acre Is worn out and thrown aside, until
we begin TO see through our woodlands
and find them running short. The only
suggestion we can make Is to clover half
your cleard land, and manure and live off
the other till the cleared lands are bro't
back TO fitness for culture again. If We
do not begin pertty soon to renovate our
old dry fields, we will have little else but
dry fields TO raise our cotton and grain
upon. We want good deal more OF the
Northern system Of working lands infiscd
among our farming communities. 70

growing, and the work is pressing, some
unmannerly bull, or long nosed old sow,
takes fancy that better fare would be
found inside than outside the inclosure,
and accordingly enters, bidding all their
friends welcome. Then comes fuss
negroes and dogs are paraded, the intrud-
ers are elected, but not until they have
got taste not soon to be forgotten. This
storm works off in curses upon the negro,
for his unfaithfulness, but never brings
back the damage done to the crop. The
cotton is now up, and needs thinning to
stand. The negroes are sent but the
overseer stays. We need hardly sketch
the picture; you have seen it. The poor
cut worms and the lice have many sins
laid at their door, for which they will new
er have to account. The stand is spoiled,
and the crop is lost, all for the want OF go
ing, instead of sending, to have so delcate
task performed. This sort of manage
ment is fun to the grass, also-only hav-
ing to lower its head little, and submit
to little dusting,and as soon as your back
is turned, to come up with greater bold
ness than ever again. The difference be-
tween the labor of good work, and that
which is sighted, is very little, but the re-
suits are vastly different-all for the want
of the masters eye. The mules have
plowd hard all day, when they are return
ed to their stable for rest and food. The
overseer goes to his supper, and soon to
bed, while he sends the plowman to do the
business of feeding and watering. Corn is
thrown in profusion tonight, and the poor
animal, perhaps upon short allowance the
nigh before, eats perfect gorge, and in
his fullness and heat from the double
portion of corn in his stomash, ,"thirsts for
the the cooling water brook" where he
completes the work ofdeath. Collie comes
on, and the mule is lost and the master
and all wonder what could have produced
it. All for sending and not going. The
cattle go astray, the hogs are lost, the
meat-house is empty, the provisins wasted,
and thousand nameless ills ensue, Just

""Tis said that absence conquers love,
But, oh believe It not;
I've tried in vain its power to prove,
But thou art not forgot"
Why so long thy silence keep,
Whilst my poor heart is breaking?
Wilt thou not stir up the fountain deep,
That surelys in the sleeping?
Or will you let my heart-strings break,
And see me die with grief?
Or must some corroding poison take,
To give my heart relief!
Oh, no ! know that nature did,
Thy bosom fill with worth
1t only lies concealed and hid,
Like precious gems of earth.
And why not then search out the gold
That in thee lies concealed;
And pay back debt to her so bold,
That has her love revealed?
Or will you let your silence provo
A refusal of your hand,
And blast forever my pure love,
And drive me from the land?
You cannot thus my heart-strings scar,
And fill me with remorse;
