EDITORIAL Presents.


The editor Of the Charlottesville, S. G.
Chronicle has been receiving some pres
fents, rare things In these Adegenerate
days" We give copy of his acknowl-
edgments !:
Messrs. Butler & Co. have sent Us some
excellent advice and beautiful pen knife;
we shall use both. At the same time We
would caution our mercantile friends in
sending US presents that very little ad-
vice goes great way with US, and, fit
is the same to them, other things would
be preferred as general rule. In the
present case we needed it.
Mr. Nathan Gazan will accept oit
thanks for fashionable hat, much needa
ed. We hope our friends, thus prepared,
will recognize US. We suppose every
body now will get their hats from Ga
zan.
We wish to say to our friends in the
country that, if any of them sent US d
turkey this Christmas, owing no doubt'to
the bad roads, we never got it,. is'Tsss1
Mr.. T. NJ. Wills will except our
thanks for bottle of Holland gin, and
a bottle of old Cognac. The public must
not think that we drink all Of the spirits
that is sent u.s. We set it in our wiai
dows and let the light play through it,
We enjoy it just.as much this way, and
are just as grateful, as if we shocked our
friend Mr.-, by making it into
toddy.

Culture Of Oats.

1t is almost useless to SOW oats in this
country unless they are sown early-and
the earlier the better. The best oats We
ever saw were sown Ia February. Farm
ers should have their ground plowed and
prepared for seeding oats the first good
weather after the middle Of February.-S
They may not have time to plough the
ground then, and also put in the seed
but might have time to SOW the seed and
harrow it in. IF the ground is not yet
ploSed and the open weather continues,
by all means keep the teams going, not
only for oats, but for corn aud other crops.
Fall and winter blowing are highly ben
efcial. Turning up FRESH ground to the
frost is almost equal to giving a coat
ing of manure. The teams are now
fresh and feeling we'll. Give them more
work now and less in the spring. Every
day improved now is one gained for
spring-Rmal World.

No Use to Try to Please Everybody.
A STORY WITH A MORAL.

"If you try to please, said the Wealth
ercoek to the Wind, "turn me to the
South; for there is such cry out against
the cold, that I'm afraid they'll pull me
down if / stop much longer in this North
quarter"
So the Wind few from the South, and
the Sun was the master of the day and
the rain fell abundantly.
"Oh please turn me from the South, y
said the Weathercock to the Wind again.
"The potatoes will be spoilt, and the
corn wants dry weather, and while / am
here rain it will, and what with the heat
and the wet the farmers are just mad
against me"
So the Wind shifted into the West, and
there came soft dying breezes, day after
I day.
a0hI dear, dear y said the Weather
cock, "there's pretty to do !! such evil
looks as get from eyes all around me
the first thing every morning the grass
is getting parched up, and there is nc
water for the stock, and what is to done?
As to the gardeners they say there won
be pea to be seen, and the vegetables
will wither away. Do turn me some
where else."
"What do they say to you now?' he
asked.
aWhat |" cried the eathercock, 'swhy,
everybody has caught cod, and most
everything is blighted-that's what they
say; and there isn't misfortune that hap
pens, but somehow or other they lay it
on the East Wind"
"Well," said the Wind, "let chem find
fault, it is impossible for you and me to
please everybody, SO in future I shall
blow where I like, and you go where you
Hike, without asking any questions. ]
| don't know but that we shall satisfy more
than we can do now by all our considera-
ton

ssy ELY. the game son Of Kippsto

sS ELY, the game son Of Kingston,
and famous English race horse whose
career upon the turf has been so brilliant,
has been placed in the stud, and he will
make his first season at the Hampton Pad :
docks. He is one of the stoutest and best
horses in the kingdom His remarkable
carriage and symmetry are his character
istics Of beauty. He has been leased to
the Royal stud for three years, and his
colts should achieve as much reputation
upon the race course as any that shall rise
from out the dim vista of the future. The
wealthiest breeders of England have made
efforts to obtain possession of Ely, but his
owner, Mr.. Cartright refused to part with
him at any price. 1t is stated that Mr..
Blenkiron offered ten thousand, and Baron
Rothschild twelve thousand pounds (near-
ly sixty thousand dollars J for this mag
nifcent horse. This is fabulous amount
to offer for single animal, and it should
encourage the breeders Of the thorough
bred in this country.

THE LARGEST FARM IN THE WoRLf.
IN. L. Sullivant, Esq, of Champaign
County, ILL.,, owns seventy thousand acres
Of as good land as is to be found on the
face of the globe, twenty three thousand
acres of which is under fence and active
cultivation, while the remainder is used
for herding purposes. This is undoubt-
edly the most extensive farm in the world,
and it is said to be conducted on the most
plans. Nearly all the labor is
performed by machinery, SO that one man
can perform, or rather superintend the
labor of Eve. He drives his posts By
horse power, cultivates his corn by ma.
chinery, bitches, sows aud plants BY ma.
SO that all his laborers can ride
and perform their duties. Mr. Sullisant
gives employment to two hundred farm
hands, two hundred horses, and large
number of oxen. $3.50
