ENCOURAGE Your CIILDRES.-Encourage-
ment works wonders with almost anybody, no
matter what his occupation in life may be-.
boy likes to be encouraged so does girl; a
man likes it; and so does 4 woman; and even
the older grandfather and grandmother have a
relish for it.
Some parents often make mistake in not
giving their children credit when they DO
thing we'll, and some unintentioaally let les
son that has been studied hard or a piece of
work that has been well done by a bog or girl,
to pass without the least notice. This dis
courages child and has very bad effect
otherwise.
Encouragement puts new life in child,
especially if bestowed by parent. Yet there
are people who, though anxious to have their
children do we'll, continually and in dispiri-
ted way, tell them that they shouldn't do so
and so, that it is wrong, etc, without ever
having little friendly talk with them and
giving them good advice and encouraging them
when they do right.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS FOR THE SOUTHERN
FARMER.-Dr. Daniel Lee whose pen is not
blunted by his ripe age, but who writes with
the same force and directness as he did forty
wears ago, thus puts the question of meat
production before the people of the South i'll
the columns of the Plantation:
Twice the corn for forage will grow on an
acre in the climate of Georgia that can be
raised in England or Holland in one year. In
the hands of IL wise farmer, if corn forage and
grain don't mean meat, what do they mean?
We want our young friends who read the
Plantation to compare the productive forces
of the cotton zone with an average fall OF rain
of some forty-fve inches, with those of central
Europe, with an average rain fall OF twenty
two and onc-half inches, and temperature
that will do about half of the growing part of q
crop of cotton. The organizing power of land,
and the people who introduced root culture
into England some centuries past, is small
compared with ours. The force that makes a
bale of cotton on an acre can perform the exact
equivalent in the growth of wool, mutton,
horse flesh, cheese or beef. Agricultural force
is as enduring as time and as reliable as the
multiplication table. Why not put more of
this force into grass, meat and other provisions
for foreign consumption? Why perpetuate q
wilderness in the South and call it peace?
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1874-05-28
Late Planted Cotton.

The heavy rains and cold weather in April
have pretty effectually killed the early planted
cotton What the water did not drown the
cold has chilled, so that flesh planted seed will
catch up and 60 ahead of the stands already
up. Cotton Is emphatically a hot weather
plant, and 1 am inclined to Think as general
rule, that we plant it too early. Dickson says
the 7th of May is early enough to plant. do
not think that dates should have anything to
do with planting cotton. 1t should not be
planted until the ground is warm enough to
germinate the seed in eight days from planting,
for every hour that the seed remains in the
ground over eight days, is diminution of its
productiveness.
1 know that the plea for early planting is to
get it ahead of the caterpillar; but we may not
always have the caterpillar. planted a few
acres in cotton few years since, the 4th of
June and with the same culture and treat
ment, it was the best piece of cotton that had
that season. If the stands of cotton are very
bad, plow up the whole field and replant. A
good and even stand will pay better than the
uneven patchwork of some good plants, with
many yellow, sickly looking ones.
1t requires some nerve to do it, but in doing
it the field is got into shape again. gulies filled,
the rows even, and all will come on and grow
together. Some complain Of the scarcity of
seed Economise the seed by dropping by
hand, and make one bushel plant what if took
five to plant when seed was plenty. Seed
planted carefully by hand will pay in the
saving of labor in chopping out. The way
cotton is generally chopped out, is an outrage
on culture and common sense. The choppers
90 along the rows, where the plants stand thick
together, and with the hoe chop spaces between
the plants, nine times out of ten knocking
down the plants that are to remain, with
back handed lick of the hoe. The plants are
set straight again, with their roots mutated,
and the tender bark bruised and broken:-
Now, because the plant does not actually die
under the operation, some farmers seem to
think it is not hurt; but bad chopped heid !,1
of cotton is retarded in its growth, and will
not Weld like plants that have not been mutt
lated. Therefore, if you have to economize
seed, econonlize labor, too. Plant by hand, and
save the chopping and consequent mutilation
of the plants Columbus Enquirer.

ThOughtless Words.

The frequency with which some words are
used, that are worse than useless is truly alarm
ing. We have reference to that class of words
termed by-words. Some people are so consti-
tuted that they seem to require several of these
words as safety-valves to repress that which
would be far worse. In fact, some persons are
so extravaganza that they affirm they couldn't
live.were they deprived Of the use of them
they would certainly die if they couldn't use
them. Such extravagant expressions show a
decided weakness. Charity, however, would
lead one to infer that they are the result of
thoughtlessness, which, through want of self
control, has become habit so firmly fixed as
to defy all efforts to rid ones self of it. And
so, like the confirmed inebriate who must have
his usual amount of grog each day. to enable
him to get through with his accustomed work,
must they use these by-words Oh every possible
occasion to enable them to pursue the even
tenor of their way with equanimity. "My
goodness !' says the mother to her child,
7what are you up to 2" This expression is in
tended for one OF great surprise, for surely, by
no stretch of the Imagination could one sup
pose it was intended as title of endearment.
AMY gracious p and ooh mercy' are abused
yery much in their use and are so often en-
ployed as EXPLANATIONS of surprise and fear,
that it is becoming question whether an
elegant young lady would consider her educa-
ton complete or her conversation emphatic
without using some of these words, at least q
dozen times in conversation of as many
minutes. And the saddest phase of the matter
is, that these expressions are used by those
whose influence should be decidedly against
them. Even among church members and Sum
day school teachers we hear them.
There is no reason in the argument that
these words lend emphasis, for that is nonsens-
ical neither can the plea be made that they
are of no injury. All useless expressions are
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to those who use them,
and pernicious in their influence on others.
Children are creatures of imitation. If a boys
ideal man smokes, how the boy longs to be able
to puff cigar If a girls ideal woman says,
"Oh, mercy p' how quickly her example is i'm
itated. And these are only stepping stones to
that which is worse. Those who thus use these
words are often introduced to them through
their kin, "Perfectly" and lawful" A thing
is perfectly splendid, perfectly exquisite, and
perfectly magnificent, or it is awful nice, awfnl
good, awful bad, awful cold, or awful hot.
Just as though the word very isn't good Eng
lish, and doesn't express enough where these
words are so commonly employed. Christian
men and women should set watch on their
mouths, and let nothing escape them unbe-
coming MISUNDERSTANDING
