THE RURAL CARoLlNIAN FOR FEB
RUARY.-In few short months, The

appearance aud varied contents of never
failing merit, become a standard Agri.
cultural Magazine, aud is this day as
anxiously looked for aud atteutiyely pc
rused BY its thousand of readers as if it
had been published for century. It's
devotion to the practical aud scientific
development of Southern agriculture,
give it peculiar character, aud value,
not only to the people of the South,
whom it more Immediately affects, but
also to Northcrners and Europeans, to
whom tho South is q sort of China or
japan, but recently opened to their in
vestigatiou. The number now before
us is splendid illustration of what
brains aud enterprise can do when aid>
ed BY the sympathy and interest of our
entire people. With sixty eight pages
Of reading matter (four more than the
usual number) it has not an article in
it that would not please the most prac-
tical farmer, and yet there is much to
entertain and instruct tho general req
der. The illustrations are useful as
we'll as ornamental, |, and the likeness of
DcLesseps is worthy Of being preserved
as life like representation Of great
man, the moving spirit of wonderful
achievement. The typographical exc
cution is superb, aud the publication, as
a whole, is one of which our regcuorated

p@ A great many learned treaties have
been written, explaining the origin Of, and
classifying the worms generated In the hu-
man system. Scarcely any topic Of medi-
cal science has elected more acute obser-
walton and profound research; and yet
physicians are very much divided in oPin-
len ON the subject. II must be admitted,
however, that, after all, mode Of expell-
ing these worms, and purifying the body
from their presence, Is Of more value than
the wisest disquisitions as to the origin.
The s1p.iiing agent has at length been
found-Dr. MLane's vermifuge is the
much sought after specific, and has already
ssperceded all other worm medicines, its
efficacy being universally acknowledgtd
BY medical practitioners.

Crops in-TeNnS.

The December report Of tho Blu
reau of Agriculture, which cnumcr-
ICES the agricultural information of
the year, has the following items in
reference to Texas:
CoRS.-Texas shows an increase.
Tn some counties the largest crop
ever grown is reported. In one,
Corycll, the average yield is report
ed at forty bushels. The only States
reporting an increase of quantity
are Minnesota, Missouri, Florida,
Nebraska, Kansas, Texas and Cali
fornia.
CorToN.-Tho grasshoppor, in
some parts of Texas, injured cotton
that was planted late. The drought
affected it unfavorably in the Red
Itiver region, and worms, heavy
rains and overfows were locally in.
furious. But for these drawbacks
tho yield would have been very
large. Still the aggregate is much
larger than that of 1868. Reports
of five hundred pounds Of lint per
acre, where good culture followed a
careful selection Of seed, are not un-
frequent. Some counties return an
average of three hundred pounds
per acre. The culture in Texas is
extending far beyond its limits in
1860. One county which made no
return at that date returning 4,300
bales, and others producing il for
the first time ut an average of 300
lbs. per acre. Product compared
with that of 1868: North Carolina
95 per cent; South Carolina So;
Georgia 95; Florida 107; Alabama
1OS; Mississippi l15; Louisiana / IL;
Texas 125; Arkansas 10; Tennos-
see SIS. Yield per aero: North
Carolina 145 lbs; South Carolina
1913; Georgia $50; Florida 152; Ala
bama 176; Mississippi 22l; Louisi-
ana FOG; Texas 275; Arkansas 254;
Tennessee 100. The aggregate pro-
duct in accordance with the returns
received to this date is little more
than ten per cent. above the yield
of 1868, or about 100000 CONNER
cial bales, or fully 100000 bales of
400 lbs. each.
PoTAToEs.-Louisiana and Texas,
have reduced their aggregate. The
sweet potato crop is somewhat less
than an average.

SHARP PRAcTIoE.-We were yes
,terday told of bit of sharp prac-
tice perpetrated on a countryman
by a certain Jewish merchant not a
thousand miles away from the En-
.tcrprise Office. lie bought the coun.
tryman's cotton, and sold him bill
of goods at extremely low figures;
but when the goods came to be paid
for the purchaser found they cost
about twice as much as they would
anywhere else. He couldn't see
how the thing was done, nor can we.
All we have TO say is, whom you
como to Calvert sell your cotton 10
some one whom you can trust. IL
YOU can't read or sum mp an account,
get some one else 10 do your trad
ing for you, and 60 10 school awhile
