PLANTING AND FARMING

a gloomy picture of the present con
dition ofthe South and glowing and
truthful one for its future

is not recuperating, as was expected,
but is poorer than ever. This will
be the case as long as this genera

is poor thing. It don't pay, aud

the present generation is gene and
not before. Farmers arc the only
people that can do anything in this
country. 4 planter is a splendid
humbug, and can do more and make
less than any class Of men we can
have. A farmer will make his liv-
ing and have cotton to sell besides,
but planter cannot mako anything
except cotton and has his living to
buy which keeps him poor. But as /
have said, there are no farmers in
this country andno material to make
them. The die is cast and this gen

"A GOOD way to prevent enterprise
in our own community, and thus in
directly ruin ourselves is, to speak
sluringly and disparaginly of the at
tempts of our neighbors to do any
thing new, and to pick all the flaws
we can with their work. There are
some men whose highest ambition
seems to be to cry out against their
neighbors and jump ON to them if
they have enterprise enough to start
an unusual thing. They are as en-
vious of all those who would build
up the plac as Sanballat and To-
biah were of the Jews who rebuilt
the walls of Jerusalem. But 'the
wall was finished in spite Of
those enemies Of the Jews, and 50
will the enterprises of those who are
laboring for the good of the com
munity prosper in spite of the grun-
ber5 and fault-fnders in this re-
sion
These erumbIers win exaggerate
every defect in home industry and
make faults appear to exist where
there are none. Anybody or any
thing that comes from distance is
all right, but a prophet in his own
country has no honor in their estima-
ton. In their view there is no Wis
dom and no good unless they come
from far away, Or, originate in the
narrow minds Of these same growl-
ers.
SO far as the influences of these
SanbaIIats and Tobiahs go it tends
to discourage home manufactures
and home enterprises of all kinds,
and to drive away those already COM
menced, Happily the influence Of
grumblers is not great.
Now, if we would encourage home
enterprise and thus bring prosperi-
ty to the whole community-our-
selves with the rest-we must speak
well of every laudable attempt to do
a good thing. We must encourage
it by our patronage, sustain it by
our aid and be charitable toward its
faults.
We must make it easy and pleas
ant for our neighbor5 to engage in
that which is right and which prom
ises good. Let Us kindlo no back
fires and throw no cold water upon
that which may tend to build up this
new community
It's a shame for rational men to
act SO much Ike growing animals
that they viii snarl and snap at
those who bring them bread and
meat Every thing that tends to
develop our own industry, educate
our own children, bring settlers to
our country and keep those we al
ready have, is beneficial to the en-
tire community Every one is rich
er on account Of the enterprise and
prosperity Of any individual. We
ought to help one another, and moi

MERCURY.

Mercury circles around the sun in
the brief period of eighty-eigh days,
so that if the planet has season.,
these must be sevoraIly about three
weeks long. When he is nearest
the sun, he receives ten and a half
times more light and heat than we
90; and the sun shows a disc five
times larger to that planet than he
presents to us, Pretty YARN eli
mate to say the least of it, and no
need of fire to cook food. His diam
eteris little more than 5000 miles 4,
our earth is about fifteen times as
heavy. aravlty at his surface is
such that pound weight of ours would
weigh rather less than seven ounces.

JUPITER.

Jupiter is the giant os the solar
system, and exceeds our earth some
,23O times in volume, and more
than three hundred times in mass.
He has diameter Of about $1,000
miles, or nearly seven times as large
as the carths's, surface of one hun
bred and fifteen times larger
Gravity at his surface is about two
and half times as great as on our
earth, SO that such creatures as ex-
list around US would find their weight
much more than double if removed
to Jupiter.
He lies more than five times fur
Their from the sun than our earth,
apd the light and heat which he re-
ceives are reduced to about one
twenty-ffth of our supply. He ro-
tates on his axis in less than ten
hours, SO that his day is considerably
less than half of ours. His axis is
nearly perpendicular to his orbit, so
that there is no appreciable ssason-
able changes, His year is 1924

VENUS.

Venus has a year of two hundred
and twenty-four days, sey enteen
hou.s, very nearly, and her distance
from the sun, which varies little
during her year, is somewhat less
than three fourths of thai which sep
arates the sun from US. Her day is
about thirty-fve minutes shorter
than ours. and her globe somewhat
smaller than ours.

MARS.

Mars is about 1000 miles in diam
etcr, so that his linear Dimensions
bear to those of the earth the pro
portion OF about five to eight. The
surface Of the earth is about two and
halftimes as extensive as that Of
Mars.
The substance Of Mars has an
average density Of rather less than
three-foprths Of ouc earth, or very
nearly four times that Of water
Thus gravity at his surface is much
less than ours, insomuch that one of
our pound weights, placed at Mars,
would weigh but six opnoea, three
penpyweightq.
The length of his year is nearly
six hundred and eighty-seven Of our
days, so that each Of his quarters
lasts about five and two-thirds of our
months.

Light travels at the rate Of near
100000 miles per second In q
single second light traverses a space
equal to eight times the circumfer-

light takes little more than a second

the SIM, more than eight minutes; a

these planets; from about thirty

density is specifically lighter thar
than that of any known planet
He occupies about twenty-nint
and half of our years in circiing
once around the sun. His distance
is nearly twice that of Jupiter, and
nearly ten times that of the earth,
making his distance 100000
miles from the sun, and the light he
receives is about 1-91st part of that
Of the earth.
He has eight moons, and If all
were full at the same time they
would only give the one-sixteenth
part of light that We receive from
ours. Saturn also has a belt that
adds to its beauty, if nothing else.
URANUS AND NEPTUNE.
Uranus and Neptune are consid-
cred the arctic planets, for they are
certainly far enough away from the
sun to feel comfortably cool. If
there are any other planets beyond
them, they have not as yet been dis
covered.
Little is known of the physical as
pect Of the twoplancts. Uranus has
diameter OF about 1920 miles,
Neptune is somewhat larger, his
diameter being estimated at $3.50
miles. 1t will be remembered that
the diameter of our earth is about
5000 miles
The volume of Uranus is seventy
four and that ofNoptuno l05 times
that Of the earth. The disc Of the
sur, as seen from Uranus, is less
than that which we see, in the pro-
portion ofnearly 390to one, while
Neptune has sun only about
l-900th Of ours in apparent size. =
So small does the sun appear to those
planets that, to eyes such as ours, it
would appear like an exceedingly
brilliant day-star.
Uranus is eighty-four of cur years
in circling once around the sun, and
Neptune something Overcome hundred
years. His distance from the sun is
estimated at 27,10O,000 miles.
FIXED STARS.
