BIG TREES.


1t is popularity supposed that California has
the biggest trees in the world, but Professor Swal
low, of the Missouri Geological Survey, claims
the distinction for his own State. He gives the
following actual measurement ofbigtreesinS South
east Missouri: "The largest is a sycamore in
Mississippi County, sixty-five feet high, which,
two feet above the ground, measures forty-three
feet in circumference. Another sycamore in
Howard County is thirty-eightaEd a halffeet in
diameter. cypress in Cape Girardeau County,
al a distance of one foot above the ground, meas
ures twenty-nine feet in circumference. A cot
ton wood in Mississippi County measures thirty
feet around at distance of six feet above the
ground. 4 pecan in the same county iseighteen
feet in circumference. A black walnat in BEN
ton county measures twenty-five feet in circum-
ference. A white oak in Howard County is twen-
ty-six feet in circumference. A tulip tree (pop-
lar) in Cape Girardean county 10 thirty feet in
circumference. There is tupelo in Sto6dard
county thirty feet in circumference. There is q
blackberry in Howard county eleven feet in cir
cumference. A Spanish oak in New Madrid
county twenty-sx feet in circumference. A white
ash in Mississippi county is sixteen feet in cir
cumference. A honey locust in Howard county
is thirteen feet round. There is willow in
Pemiscot county that has grown to the size OF
twenty-four feet in circumference and one hum
dred feet in height. Mississippi county boasts Of
a sassafras that must be king of that tribe; it
nine feet in circumference. There is
persmmon in this same county nine feet in cir

SIXTEENTH VoLUME---NUMBER 1888.

some hope that by judicious management a
healthy reaction may take place after time
and the patient may be saved. From the polit-
ical symptoms of the day We are d isposed TO
infer that some of our professed loyalists are SO
fearful that there may De fatal exudation of
| the vital current of Federal patronage and Fed
eral funds from their lovely persons and friends
that they have taken a most alarming political
coDgestive chill They and their attendants
have for some months past been dancing about
before the darkies with their styptics and as
tringents to ensure no fatal hemorrhage while in
the recommendation of registers Care has been
given to notice the pulse of the congestive pa
tients. aud upon the slightest indication that
any artery was pusating in the wrong direction,
which would indicate danger to the congestive
patients, that artery has been taken up and
secured by a lgature, hoping that if they can
only keep the vital current futtering around tho
heart until the next elections, by the judicious
application of mustard and any amount of good
brandy, healthy reaction may take place and
the patients may come forth new men without
the slightest apprehension of danger afterwards.
But without judicious change of treatment we
fear that before the light shall eminate from the
election ballot those patients will be politically
as dead as was the little case to which we have
referred as an illustrative before the dawn of
morn.
3. But the last consideration to which I will
refer, which may have conduced to the sent-
ment that very few of the loyalists are fit to hold
Office is the difidence of the loyal class in pre-
senting themselves to the military officials
That we have been represented by the Con-
feds as green and mean we know. What in
fuencc those representations may have had upon
the military authorities we know not. That we
have been denounced by some of the copper
head Journals as the men of the South
we know, but we know not what influence those
dennnciations may have had upon those officials
now in command in the South and we know
not but similar representations may have been
made by some of the professed loyalists who
have the confidence Of the military authorities.
In consideration Of these facts we know not but
when present ourselves before those military
officials and announce that We are of the loyal
class they may regard one Of the mean men
of the South. Considerations of this character
are superlatively depressing to any one of intel
ligence and refinement.
The result of the call for registers trust may
satisfy the public that whenever there is a call
for persons to fill Offices with good pay there
will be cheerful response upon the part of the
people, and that by judicious selection from
among the applicants, all the Offices necessary
to the administration of the Government may
be creditaby filed by those who can take the
required oath. SEXTUs.

From the Wilmington Journal.
ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS,

The use Of this kind of manure has grown so
rapidly within short time as to threaten the
more material interest Of the farmer with injury.
[ do not disapprove Of the use of them as aux
llaries and under proper conditions, but l do
believe that the practice of dosing lard repeat
edly with these powerful stimulants, has a ton
dcncy to jure it permanently. Some writer
in your paper few weeks back, was regreting
the impossibility Of farmers analyzing their own
soils, and being thereby able to select just what
his soil needed, with even more accuracy than
doctor would tell his patient what medicines
and what diet would give him strength. This
would simplify matters wonderfully; but the
fact is that all this knowledge is unnecessary;
and for the best interest of the farmer the fer
tilizcrs are equally SO.
Practically all the soil of this region of North
Carolina is Of the same chemca! composition
1t is all deficient in one element which is essen
tial to productiveness, and that element is lime.
Il We supply this the soil is permanently i'm
proved with proper culture. Geologist5 have
long noticed the difference in the two sections
which they have named respectively the noun
tain and tidewater districts, and they ind their
dividing line at the rocky falls in the rivers.
The region above presents throughout features
of uniformity but differing from the region be-
low. There VIC fud a broken country, hills In
creasing in height till we reach the mount tains.
The growth is of such trees as yield the great
est amount of potash, oak, hickory, dogwood,
&c. The soil is greatly mixed with rock.
This land is generally more fertile than ours,
for the reason that from the gradual disintegra-
tion of the rocks, all containing certain per
cent of lime, through the agency of frost this
essential clement is supplied to the soil. The
soil Of the lower region is altogether different
Here there is no rock ofany consequence. The
son is sandy, the face of the country level, and
the growth almost entirely Of pine. This soii
as acid. Whoever will taste the pine leaf y i'll
readily test its acid quality. A thousand cords
of pine wood will not yield as many grains Of
potash. This is true of the gum, bay, laurel
| and sasafras See the great fertility of locali
ties where there is an outcropping of mari as al
Rocky Point in this county. Lime as NO
manure. All that can be hoped from its use il
to correct the acid Of the soil and allow the ma
tural strength to be applied to the production
Of valuable crops. And if this can be done
| where under the sun is there fncr soiR Ger
tainly, if We can control the pine producing
power and direct it to the production of prof
table crops, we have the very best Of land.
| have much that | would like to communicate
, on this subject, but have already extended
this paper too long. If this meets your ap
! proVal, more anon.
