This old and valued citizen of Coiumbis
died suddenly At his residence in that place
about 2 O'Clock on Monday last from dis
ease Of the heart. Until within the last
FIVE or six years, Mr.. Morgan was regarded
as possessing q vigorous constitution.
Sometime in 1885 or 1867 an anenrism of
the leg developed itself, from causes IN
known, which resulted in amputation. His
general health became SO far restored, how
ever, - Y. tn5Gce the hope that the relief
was pT aauant. In this, however, bis
friends were ds1 eiyed, and for sometime
past he las lahore under an organic disease
Of the htart, witch finally terminated his
life suddsgly ana clmost without struggle
Though gradually declining, he dressed him
self as usual the morning Of bis death, was
with bis family ct the breakfast and dinner
table, and at the moment of his death was
sitting in bis chair conyersiDg with bis son.
The intelligence of the sad event not only
shocked the community Of which he had
been for many years an esteemed citizen,
but will sadden the hearts Of large circle
Of relSives and friends in different parts Of
this and other States.
Mr.. Morgan was born In Knoxville, Tenn,
Aug. Is, 1914. Calvin Morgan, his father,
was distinguished as one of the most intelli
gent. and enterprising merchants, as well as
one Of the most upright and useful citizens,
of his day. The subject of this notice had
three brothers-Rufus (who died some
years since), Alexander, now residing in
East Tennessee, and Calvin Morgan, Of
Maury county. He had, also, three sisters,
Mrs. Parks and Mrs. Christy, Of st. Louis,
and Mrs, McClung, Of Knoxville. He was
also a cousin of Samuel NJ. Morgan, of
Nashville.
MIR. Morgan was educated to the business
of a merchant. After attaining his
majority he resided about year
each in the cities of Nashville, St. Louis
aud Philadelphia, and in 1888 moved to
Columbia, and has since followed the BUSH
ness of merchant, without change, until
the interruption of the war. In 1910 he
was fortunately married to Miss Louisa
Porter, danghier of Mr.. William Porter,
highly esteemed citizen Off IA county. He
left but two children, Mr.. VIM. 2. Morgan
and Mrs. Lucius FFierson, both Of Column
bia.
Without stopping to indulge in words of
praise, which cannot reach The duh, cold
ear OF dea,h, it is well to say for the benefit
Of the living, that few men have passed
through the perplexing cares Of long busi-
ness life and left more unquestioned rep
utation for strict integrity in all his deal
iDgs than John F. Morgan. 1t has bean
the good fortune of the writer Of this brief
notice to have known him in the intimate
relations, also, OF neighbor and friend, aud
to have found him liberal, cordial and kind.
La his domestic life few were SO affection
and indulgent, and few had, In return,
more to cheer and make happy the Preside
Of homs. 4.

DISEASED MLLK FROM IMPURE
WATER,

Prof. Law, Of Cornell University, pub
fishes in the Lens some interesting micros-
copicaI observations on the living organ
isms in milk, produced from cows drinking
stagnant water. He describes the appear
ance Of the milk rs exhibiting ian abnor-
NAL adhesiveness CT oil glooules, which had
accumulated in dense masses instead of re-
naming apart, a. 10 healthy milk. Inter
mixed with the globules were dark-colo red
spherical bodies Of @ much larger sixe,
spores and filsments. On examination of
the water drank by the COWS, it was found
to contain numerous spores Of low forms Of
vegetable life. The cows yielding the NOR
bid milk appeared In health so far as appe-
tite, ruminstion, pulse, breathing, and
state ofskin were concerned, but tie temp
erature was higher than usual, and, on mi
croscopicAl examination Of the blood, it was
found to contain certain ovoid bodies of at
least double the size Of the ordinary blood
globules. Upon Withholding the water, the
impurity of the milk at once disappeared.
The chain of evidence now appeared COM
plete. The water contained vegetable
spores which developed into 3 luxuriant
growth of mycelium when the milk was al
lowed TO stand"

RAISING WHEAT : sELECEsrs

RAISING WHEAT : sELECTsNs
SEED.
a manufacturer of -four, and buyar
and grower Of wheat for many years at In,
dependence, Mo, contributes bis experiences
TO the Rural World. He says:
Some of my customers invariably raised
good crops, and others, on as good land, as
often raised poor ones. This led me to in
quire Of the successful growers the cause of
their success and from them and expert
ence l have gathered the following facts,
which mag prove beneficial to others. The
best wheat crops on old land are thus rails
ed:
AS early in July as possible, turn under
oat stubble or fsliow land, and let it remain
till the middle Of August or first of Septem-
Der; then plow in with one horse plows,
across the breaking; then thoroughly har-
row or brush twice, and if the ground is
loose, roll with a heavy roller; and in the
spring, when the frost is just out Of the
ground, roll again. This mode of cul ure
is sometimes followed " hout success; but
the failure, if good seed is used, is attribut-
ed to the season, and not the culture. In
selecting seed, bad Judgment Is exercised if
any but the best grain is taken. Some
think if wheat will terminate at all, it is as
good as any.
Wheat to be perfect, must be stacked
shortly after harvest. 1t then goes through
the sweating process in the stack, and the
grain absorbs from the straw large amount
Of volatile matter that would otherwise
pass off, which adds to its weight about
three pounds per bushel, aud to its Touring
abont two pounds per bushel. Good wheat
thus prepared has its full vigor; it will
terminate quickly and grow strong, having
q large pulp to decompose, which furnishes
the young plant with vitality, until its roots
are sufficiently large to draw its sustensnce
from the soil. Hence good stand of wheat
is obtained, and without accident, Q good
crop.
Now take small, shriveled berry, weigh
ing from fifty to ffty-six pounds per bushel
lin such bushel you have almost double
as many grains, each small and defective;
SOW it, ana it barely sprouts before its
strength is exhausted, and the young plant,
having no root, and the grain being de-
cayed, 1t must perish, or remain 8 long time
before it begins TO grow.
For the above reason, sprouted wheat
should not be sowD, nor wheat that is chaff-
burnt. Chaf-burnt wheat is that which
has Teen threshed out before the sweating
process has been performed, and put up In
bulk, and in that condition the sweating
commences, and generates heat that
burns and blackens the berry, and il not
stopped when begun, viii completely ruin
1.-THE heat getting toa degree that will
cook an egg In five minutes. II
Wheat should then be stacked for the fol-
lowing reasons: LIST. To insure it against
damage by wet weather. ID. To improve
the quantity and quality for the seller. I'd.
MAKE better -four and seed for the buyer.
4th. TO consult time and interest In thresh.
ing and selling.

PLASTER or PARIs as A MANURE
FOss VINES.

have a large quantity Of grape vines
planted in the open ground, and trained on
poles and wires along the gravel walks. In
planting thase l had he holes dug about
% inches deep; then threw into each hole
five or six lumps Of old plaster, about the
size of my list. threw little earth over
these Jumps, and then planted the vines in
the usual way. The result has been won
derful: the vines, which were not half an
inch thick when planted three years ago,
are now two inches and more in diameter,
and bear finely. The grapes are also freer
from disease. Other vines, not so tre4ted,
are much smaller and produce less, the
fruit being slso more liable to disease. To
try the effect of this plaster, in planting two
American black walnuts we put the plaster
to one and not TO the other. The former
grew twice as fast as the other. Last year
we dug about the roots of the one ID which
no plaster was put, and We threw in seven
or eight Jumps Of plaster among the roots;
the trees are now both of the same size,
and, though only four years Old, are sixteen
tossventsen feet high.--7As Grdsn.

| HOW MUCH NEAT fEH ACHf1
The eminent English farmer, Mr.. NJ achj,
| says thai, according to The reply f.rmer
makes to the following question, his posi-.
sition may be determined even withora VS.
iting his farm. The question is: aHow
much meat do you make per acre over the
whole Of your farm?' This matter, says
the irish Farmers Gazette, which very few
men think of, and yet, as Mr.. Mech says,
Is really q testing point of merit:
"kr. Campbell las ascertaiued that the
number of pounds Of meat produced and
sold off bis farm annually amounts to
Of, 452 lbs, or 221 lbs. per acre. Now, Mr..
Aclsnd stated in The Journal of the Royal
Agricuttatrdt Society Of EnglGnd, That the
largest corn-growing farmer in Norfolk-a
most successful m2D-produces 80 lbs. of
meat on every acre of bis land;' and MIR.
Mechi asserts that the general average of
the farms Of this kingdom generally do not
produce 20 lbs. of meat per acre. Refer
ring 70 his own case, Mr.. Mech says that
'he seaom makes less than 200 to 260 lbs.
of meat per acre over the whole FARM and
he adds, it is the key to good crops.' The
production of meat on good fattening pas
tsres in some of the best grazing districts
in Ireland is estimated at 100 lbs. per acre.
The production on Mr.. Campben's farm is
ever 220 lbs. per acre"
Southern farmers have yet TO learn the
money value Of 'good fAttening pastures"
and it shall not be the fault Of the UNION
AND AMERICAN if they do not fatten their
corn and cotton fields while producing the
flesh Of farm stock at the lowest cost per
pound, and the highest quantity per acre.
The central idea in fertilidng q soil Ia to
cover it with the droppings OF stock, 90 far
as practicable, and supplement this home
made stable and yard manure by the rather
free use Of land plaster, superphosphate Of
lime, wood ashes, lime End clover. This
practice will give In return rich grass, and
large yield per acre, and paying crop Of
fine mules, horses, TAT cattle, sheep or wool
as the farmer may select as bis leading pro-
duct. So far as ones system Of farming is
concerned, 1t matters little whether he sells
meat in beef, mutton and bacon, or horse
flesh and oxen fsf labor, or dairy COWS for
mix and cattle raising purposes. Nothing
makes farm look 50 well as nns green pas
lures and meadows, with fair proportion
of choice stock, in frstrate condition. Such
animals always sell at profit TO the produ-
Ger, and operate indirectly to enrich the
sol as well as its owner. Hence the ouan-
tity of meat produced per acre lie test of

HOW A POOH MAN SHOULD FARM.
In a late address.Ibefore the MARYLAND

In late addresslbefore the Maryland
Fair, Mr.. Greeley said:
81 protest, at the threshold, against the
current notion that poor men must grow
poor crops, unless they have taken some
monkish VOW to remain poor forever. Here
is one who has inherited or somehow &C
ouired a cot and few sterile acres, but has
no money, no team, no fertilizers: what
shall be do? / ans wer, whatever he NAV
do, let him not cultivate one acre more
than be can so feed and till as to give reas-
enable assurance Of good crop. Far bet
ter work out by the day or month than to
waste your time and strength on cultiva-
ton TO no purpose. Let him have one acre
plowed and SUBSIDIZED thoroughly, fertilize
Il amply, set few fruit trees along its
North side, and make each square rod do
lite best in the production Of roots, vegeta-
bles, and Indian corn, while working out
by the Gay four or five days in each week
and six days during the hurry and high
wsges Of the summer harvest, and he will
gel ahead much faster than by half tilling
ten or fifteen hAli-plowed, nigg2rd, unms-
nured acres, and thus growing what will
range, according to the season, from scanty
half crops to no crops at all. And, if you
tell me that he can find no one to hire him,
] say, then let him pull up stakes, 'go
West and keep moving till he finds some
region where honest work may be readily
exchanged for honest bread"
We Go not see how Eany poor man can
object to Mr.. Greeley's advice. To cult
vate few acres Of thin land In q way to
make it poorer than nature formed it, is
not TO enrich the cultivator for bis defective
tillage, but to deteriorAte the earth for his
support. His error and poverty, by di-
minishing the natural resources Of our old
field, do serious damage TO mankind.
To rob fellow man Of his money, or steal
his grain is an obvious crime. But is il
much better in principle 10 rob the soil of
those things that make grain and money
for the honest farmer? All alike need their
daily food, and all succeeding generations
as much as the present. As God did not
create fertility for any one generation of
mankind, what moral right has man 10
diminish the frnitfulness of any field in the
lace vi IAt1SdSnS huO0sAS ~ NC tCSJ
and backs to be clothed? Increasing num-
bers call for increasing fertility, more grain,
more meat, and more wool per acre. An
impoverished farm which can never emf
CRATE from q county, or State, embodies
the curse Of neglected mental culture in
the community. The growth of children
demands the equal growth of the earth's
natural power. Of production, based on an
equal advance in human knowledge and
virtue. The word growth applies alike to
mind in is highest moral and intellectual
capabilities, to all snimsls, all plants, all
soils, al gases, ard all minerals. The poor
farmer sh5uld grow in knowledge, in skill,
and in We2 tn on any common land, wbeth-
er be owns it, or works on ahares, or labors
by the month.
