WHAT a TODAY DEMOCRAT Is

HORACE GREELEY saysa Democrat Is one
who denies the authority of the majority Of
the people Of a State to make the laws which
shall govern it, and who extenuates an at
tempted revolution of government by the
minority.
The Kansas Advertiser responds that a
Democrat to-day is one who denies the right
of Massachusetts, to govern South Carolina
through Congress, or in any other mode. 4
Democrat believes that each family should
regulate its own family affairs; each city
its own city affairs and each state It's own
State affairs and each nation its own ma
tIonal affairs a Democrat holds that when
two, hundred, a thousand, or more fami-
lies, agree to act together for common OBJ
jccts, majority may determine what means
shall be used to advance those common OBJ
jccts. So a Democrat believes that ma
jority Of the States, or a majority Of their
people, may control in all matters preyi-
ously decided to bccommon. But he claims
that each State in its State Affairs, rcla:irc
to which the people Of that State are best
informed, and deepest interested, shall be
perfectly sovereign and independent. lie

South Carolina, don't consult the interest.

setts, for the benefit Of South Carolina
Therefore, Democrat denies to either TIE
right to legislaic for the other.

ing spring, then put it through the same
course again with oats and clover, and ai-
ter this crop Of clover is piowed in you may
seed it with wheat, or wait until next
spring and plant it with corn.
"Be careful not TO SOW the oats too thick
so as to smother the clover The object Of
sowing oats with the clover is merely to
protect it from the scorching rays Of the
sun, but it will nevertheless help to pay
expenses. When the land is worn out or
naturally poor, the farmer must grow a few
crops FIRST for the good Of the land, before
he begins TO grow any for profit to him
sell, and he will find no system 50 cheap
and effective for the purpose, in my opin-
ion, as the one here recommended"

The Augusta ConstimtioRalist makes
the following suggestions in regard to the
culture Of Irish potatoes, which will APP
ply equally as we'll to Tennessee rs
Georgia
If proper attention is givento the cultiva-
tion Of the Irish potato il will be found one
Of the most useful and profitable Of our
Southern productions. One acre will ordi-
narily produce from fifty to one hundred
bushels and even more than that They
are ready for use and market in MAY and
early in June, and will always insure a good
price at home and abroad.
We have planted them for many years,
in different kinds Of soil, both poor and
rich, and have never failed to make good
crop. Our mode of cultivation is this
Break up the soil deep with turn pillow,
then cross, harrow level, and break the
clods well; run of the rows three feet
apart with a turn pillow, run back in the
same furroW, thus throwing the dirt ont
each way, run in the same furrow with a
sub-soil pillow if al hand, if not, with bull
tongue, this makes trench from ten to
fifteen inches deep, and loosens the soil
even below that; this retains the moisture
and makes a mellow, loose bed for the po'
tato to grow in. Cut the potato, each eye
separate, and drop them carefully in the
trench, six inches apart, eyes upward.
Compost from the barn yard makes good
manure, and may be used to advantage
Last years wheat straw fed TO and tramped
by stock during the winter produces well
We prefer, however, TO fill the trenche:
with fresh stable manure, for the reason
that il is heating during the cold weather il
early spring, and forces the potatoet to sprout
and come up early. Being light it prevents
the ground from becoming hard from
heavy rains II begins to decay Just at the
time the potato needs nOurishment, and
being a spring crop, matured and gathered
previous to the hot weather it seldom fires
As soon as the vine is high enough and
strong enough, throw the dirt to it with q
small pillow, which may be repeated twice
at the proper intervals, which will make
ridge sufficient TO complete the crop.
We have tried several varieties Of seed
and find the pink-eye one Of the most de
licious for table use, and in this climate Is
quite a favorite The Jackson white and
large red are the most productive and bes
adapted for market. They are more hardy
and certain, and we recommend them t.
our readers.

worth. No matter how humble the cabin,

The season for planting corn Will be
upon us in a few weeks, and some sugges-
tons in regard to the selection Of seed
will not come amiss now This is an I'M
porlant crop in the State, every farmer
growing more or less of it, and he should
not only know how and when to plant
and cultivate, but also what to plant
IL OCCURS to us that there Is not enough
attention given to the kind and variety Of
seed used in planting. As a general
rule, the farmer should use the largest
kind Of corn that will mature well in the
latitude where he plants; and then,
having secured a variety that suits his
location, he should eRdeavor to keep and
still improve it if possible, and not let it
get mixed with other varieties If he
raises yellow corn, letitbe the pure stuff
if white let it be white There should
be no mixture Of colors, nor Of the larger
and smaller varieties The farmer should
by all means get the best variety he can
hear Of And lastly, but not least he
should gather his seed at the proper time,
and that is, after it has matured, and be
fore it has become chilled by frost and
freezing weather. This is all.important
The farmer should go through his field
after the corn is fully ripe and ready to
be gathered into the granary, and select
his seed making it point to get the
largest ears and from the stalks which
bear the greatest number Of such large
ears. lr this be done year by year, the
grain may soon be brought to its highest
perfection, aud made to yield much
greater harvest than is customary. Some
farmers seem to think ii corn will come
up, that IS all that is necessary, So tar
as the seed is concerned This Is great
martake: it should come mp full of
life and yigor, and to secure this, the seed
must be selected for the purpose Those
who have to buy seed this spring should
endeayor to get it in the ear, SO as tomake
a selection of the largest ears and sound
est, best looking grain II may involve
some trouble 10 do this, bat it would be
much better to send to Indiana or Ohio,
or some other Western State to secure
the best quality Of seed
