How to Make Money by Farming.

Much labor is done on farms
that is not farming in it's true
sense. By such labor no money
is ever made. A man may sup
port himself and family, keep out
of debt. and have o few dollars in
his pocket, by practicing the most
stringent economy. If he is
otherwise than industrious and
sober, he is on the down grade
with loose brakes, and the end
issoon reached. a.
But tarraing in it's true sense is
a profession equal in dignity to
the law or medicine, and needs
equal study, mental capacity, and
intelligently directed labor to
command success in it. The prin.
ciples which underlie the practice
of tie true farmer must be we'll
understood, and a steady consis
tent course Of operation must be
followed. Having thoroughly

en- the rotation most suitable, and
the stock to be most profitably
kept on it, he does not swerye
from bis course, but in good mar
ke's and bad raises his regular
crops, and keeps his land in regn-
larlyo increasing fertility. No
special cry 1tempts or affrights
him. He does not talk dairy this
season and crops the next, but
doubtless, if any particular pro.
appt be in demand and bring q
good price, he has some to sell
and reaps his share of the sdvaa-
tage. He saves as much money,
as come men make, by care and
economy in purchasing aud pre-.
serving tools, seeds, manures, and
machines, and his business habits
and constant readiness for all oc.

The sources of fertility to the
farm are the refuse of the crop

farm stock, and preserved and

Killing Black berry Bushes.

y .
One of tue editors of the Rural
New Yorker. in answering the
question, how to kill blackberry
vines, says: "ea .y.s7a .,.s q 90 :
-" have not only planted but
killed out several acres of black,
berry bushes during the last ten
years, and have not found either
a very troublesome task. Last
summer l destroyed a plantation
BY simply moving off the plants
and thoroughly ploughipg up the
roots. Not plant lived, nor has
a sucker appeared this season, and
l attribute my success more to the
time of doing the work than to
the manner or thoroughness. The
time selected was Immediately af.
ter gathering the fruit, that is the
first Of August. The plants were
then growing vigorously, and the
stems and roots immature, conse-
quently the cutting and ploughing
was too much even for black.
berry. This simple method is al
most equal as certain in destroy
ing noxious plants of other species,
but the time must be varied, cor.
respond with the growth of the
plants, as some mature early and,
others late. Always select a time
when the plants are making or
just finishing their most vigorous
growth" ...-. ...v,..

FARM AND HOME.
Fruits and Berries as Promoters of
~. ..-.,r- Health,

Fruits and berries at this
season of the year are not only
precious luxuries, bnt great pro.
meters of health. They act upon
the liver, promoting that secretion
naturally which many are in the
habit Of obtaining only by the
means of artificial medicines
They TINS avert many disease
resulting from a torpid condition
of the liver. Another way in
which they act beneficially, is in
the mechanical effect their little
seeds produce in passing through
the bowels, very much the same
as the watering of an irritated
eye.ball when any hard substance
touches that delicate organ, and
this water, by dissolving the hard.
ened contents of constipated bow-
els, keeps them in healthier state
than any pill or purgative invent,
ed by the apothecary. There can
be no doubt in the summer and
tall seasons people who live mains
ly on fruits and berries and on
coarse bread, can almost ensure
exemption from sickness, while
those who eat heartily of solid
meat and vegetables two or three
times day are liable to all the
diseases that flesh is heir to. ,.
With us the use of the apple as
an article of foou is far underrat-
ed. Besides containing large
amount of sugar, mucilage and
other nutritive matter, apples con.
tain vegetable acids, aromatic
qualities, etc, which act power
fully in the capacity of refriger-
ants, tonics and antiseptics, and
when freely used at the season of
mellow ripeness they prevent de.
bility, indigestion, and aver:, with.
out doubt, many of the ellis

ators Of Cornwall, England, con.
slider ripe apples nearly as nour-
ishing as bread, and far more so,
than potatoes. In the year 1901
which was year of much scar.
city-apples, instead of being con-
verted into cider, were sold to the.
poor and the laborers asserted
that they could stand their
work" on baked apples without
meat; whereas potato diet re
quired either meat or some other
u bstantial nutriment. The
French and Germans use apples
extensively ; so do the inhabitants
of all European nations. The Ia
borers depend upon them as an
article Of food, and frequently
make dinner of sliced apples
and bread. There is no fruit
cooked in as many different ways
in our country as apples, nor
is there any fruit whose value as
an article OF nutriment is as great
and 80 little appreciated. - ...H

A SNAKE SToRY.-.One of the
most singular and curious sights
met our view last Saturday, that
has ever been noticed in these
parts. 1t was two large snakes, a
viper and blacksnake, complete
ly telescoped so far as the heads
were concerned. We are not
much on snakeology, but we are
inclined to the opinion that their
snakeships were evidently trying
to settle between them as to which
should rule in this particular ter
ritory. The fight must have been
of long duration, large wounds
were visible on the bodies of both
snakes. 1t finally resulted, how
ever, in the viper opening his
jaws and attempting to take in his
opponent. In this lie partially
succeeded, as when discovered
by MIR. Elias Leavenworth, living
short distance from town, the
blacksnake was about six or eight
inches down the throat of the
viver. They were pulled apart
and it was discovered that the
blacksnake was several inches
longer than the viper.

Bees and the Grapss.

George w. Campbell, of Dele
ware, O., in recent letter in the
Ohio Farmer says: "The point
which wished to establish was
whether the honey.bees were Just.
ly classed among the grape des
troying insects, or whether they
simply utilized the juices of the
grape by appropriating what
would otherwise he lost after the
skins of the berries had been
broken by some other agency. D. 1
have up to this time been wholly
unable to ascertain that they ever
attack a sound, unbroken grape,
and believe they have acquired
this reputation only by reason of
being sometimes found in bad
company. .-
The wasp is furnished with a
powerful and efficient saw-toothed
cutting apparatus, with which the
grape skin could be easily abrad-
ed but this is entirely wanting
in the honey bee, whose organs
seem only suited to the suction of
liquid substances. Grapes are of.
ten burst by overcrowding on the
stems, especially if rainy weather
succeeding drought occurs about
the time of ripening, and wasps
and other insects will then be
found abundant among the vines"

PUBLIC MEN.
BY EX GOVERNOR b. f. PERRY.
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.
WIIIIAM DIR AY,rnN
by Ex GOVERNOR b. f. PERRY.
WILLIAM DRAYToN.

There was something in the
character of Col. William Drayton
that always reminded me of Wash.
ington. tie had all of Washing.
toms purity of character, his firms
ness, dignity, patriotism and high
sense of honor. For ability, lie
was not inferior to Washington,
had he had the great field of op-
ration or theatre, on which the
father of his country acted, to
show his talents and wisdom. I
know this is sort of laese anaqis-
tdtses tocomp are any one to the H.
lustrious founder Of our Republic.
1t is thought not only in America,
but in Europe, that Washington of
all public men stands pre- eminent.
This l admit most cordially but,
at the same time, l believe there
have been many others, unknown
to fame, who would and could
have acted as Washington did, un-
der precisely the same circum-
stances. -s .. ,...g =.
Colonel Drayton stands high,
very high, in the estimation of ali
who knew him, as statesman and
patriot. Immediately after the
war of 1912, General Jackson re-
commended him to President Mon
roe as Secretary Of War. South
Carolina has just cause to, pride
herself as the Roman matron did
.en her sons. No State in the Uni
'on, except perhaps Virginia, can
boast of a bl'ighter galaxy of pub,
Vic men than South Carolina, in
proportion 10 her population and
territory. This was the case from
her earliest history, up to the re-
cent destruction of all that is wise,
patriotic or decent in public af.
fairs. .a..ps..
Col. Drayton was. born in South
Carohna. His father moved from
South Carolina, bis native State,
TO Florida preyioas to the Ameri-
can Revolution. and whilst that
Territory belonged to Great Bri-
tain. He was appointed Chief
Justice of Florida, under the Bri-
tish Crown, and remained there
till Florida was receded to Spain.
He then returneG to South Caro-.
ftna,, and was Immediately APP
pointed u District Judge, and af.
forwards elected to the Law Bench.
He had been educated in England.
His distinguished son, the subject
of this "reminiscences, was also edu.
Gated in England, and read law
there. Q He was adminedato the
Bar in South Carolina, established
himself as q lawyer in Charleston,
and succeeded to most extensive
and lucrative practice. He and
Judge Cheves were at the head of
the Charleston Bar, and always on
opposite sides. He was elected a
mem ber oflthe Legislature, and af.
terwards City Judge, with sala.
ry OF thirty-five' hundred dollars.
La the Legislature he did not make
neutrality-suspicious. as a ppblie
speaker. ~, j remember bearing
Judge Hugcr say that Col. Dray.
ton made only one speech whilst
he was in the Legislature, and
that was on the sub; ;ect of selling
chickens in Charlestop. a.As City
Judge. he discharged all the dates
OF hrs Office with great ability and
learning, till lie was elected a
member OF Congress from Charles
ton. He served Ia Congress a nun
