MANURING WHEAT.


Wheat should be sown on dry soil. Like
every other thing that grows out of the
ground, it will not do well in poor soil. If
the land is not naturally rich, it must be
made so, by manures, before good crop can
be reasonably expected. The way that farm
ers, in this country, usually manure their
wheat is by scattering stable manure or cotton
seed over the ground before they pillow it.
The cotton seed does very we'll, so far as it in
goes; but stable manure is a poor manure
for wheat. Every farmer knows that stable
manure has tendency to increase the amount
of straw without increasing the amount of the
grain. Cotton seed manure is easily exhaust
ed. The winter and spring rains wash the
substance of it out of the ground. Hence it
fails at the time that manure is most needed.
Wheat should be sown on good lively land,
and in the spring it should be manured with
some good manure, such as is made by CON-
posting cotton seed. Commercial fertilizers
pay better when sown over wheat in the
spring than when used in almost any other
way, or on any other crop. The nitrate Of
soda is the cheapest, as we'll as the best thing
that can be used for this purpose. Nitrate Of
soda costs about three cents per ponnd, and
sixty pounds sown over an acre of wheat, in
the spring, will double the yield. No one
need fear that the process of applying the ma
nure will injure the wheat more than the ma
nure will advantage it. The manure should
be applied when the ground is dry. If this
precaution is taken, tramping over the wheat
will be real advantage to it.

CURE FOR FROSTED FEET.-A writer in
the Journal of Commerce says the following is
a simple but effectual remedy for curing tros-
ted feet, and that it will afford immediate re-
lief:
"Heat brick very hot, and hold the foot
over it as closely as it can be held without
burning. Cut an onion in two, and dipping
it repeatedly in salt, rub it all over the foot
The Juice of the onion will be dried into the
foot, and effect cure in very short time If
this is done for few times, it is almost GER
tain to cure your feet entirely"

MOTHERS WAY.

Oft within our little cottage,
AS the shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall,
DO we gather close together,
And in hushed and tender tone,
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.
Should you wonder why this custom,
At the ending of the day,
Eye and voice would quickly answer,
at was once our mothers way!'
If our home be bright and CHEEKY,
Ifit hold a welcome true,
Opening wide it's door of greeting
TO the many, not the few;
II we share our Fathers bounty
With the needy, day by day,
'Tis because our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes, when our hands grow weary,
Or our tasks seem very long;
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right all wrong,
Then we gain new, fresh courage,
AS we rise, to proudly say:
"IIet us do our duty bravely,
This was our dear mothers way
Thus we keep her memory precious.
While we never cease to pray
That, at last, when lengthening shadows
Mark the evening Of our day,
They may find us waiting calmly,
TO go home our mothers way!

THE BIBLE.

Last week we attempted to show that man,
in his fallen condition, needs revelation, or
in other words, that revelation is necessary
We now propose to show, briefly, that reve'
lation is possible. This has been called in
question but surely no one who will admit
that God made the world, will deny that he
can, if he sees fit, reveal his will in some other
way than in creation and providence. To
suppose that God cannot make revelation
of himself, and of his will, and of mans res
possibilities and duties, besides what are re.
vealed in creation and providence, is to strip
God of the attribute of omnipotence, and thus
virtually to bring him down on level with
mere creatures in this respect. God can do
anything that is not inconsistent with his own
perfectons and the good of his creatures. A
revelation, such as we speak of, is calculated
to bring in revenue of glory to God, and un-
told blessings to man hence God can give us
such revelation. The possibility of a reve-
lation depends simply upon the omnipotence
of God.
1t has been said that, although God is able
to give US such a revelation as the Bible
claims to be, still it is impossible for the hu-
man family to know that such revelation is
from heaven, even should they receive it.
This conclusion involves two glaring absurdi-
ties. 1t is founded upon the supposition that
all the human family are intellectually infe-
rior to the beasts of the field. The OK and the
ass, the most stupid of the brute creation, are
able to discover favor. They know their
owner and their masters crib. To suppose
that man could not be made to know that a
revelation was from heaven, is to suppose him
not only ignorant, but also incapable of being
taught. The other absurdty is that this
theory takes it for granted that God can do a
great thing, but cannot do Comparatively
small thing. 1t would be about the same as
if any one would say that God could make a
world, but be could not convince any creature
that he had made world. Really, to sup
pose that God can make revelation, but
cannot convince any one that he has made it,
is to suppose God inferior to any and all of
his creatures. One man has no difficulty in
convincing another man that he has told him
something when such is the casa. This is a
power which all of the lower animals possess.
To say, then, that God can make revelation,
but cannot convince ;.s that he has done 80, is
absurd in the highest degree
We think we have established two points.
First, that revelation is necessary, and Sec
ond, that it is possible for God to make rev.
elation.

SLEEPING CHR1sT1ANs.-Some somnambu-
lists have been able to walk on places where,
had they been awake, they never would have
been able to endure the dizzy height; and 1
see some Christians, if indeed they be Chris
tians, running awful risks, which | think
they would never venture upon unless they
had fallen into the deep sleep of carnal secu-
rity. Speak of man slumbering at the mast
head; it is nothing to professor of religion
at ease, while covetousness is his master, or
worldly company his delight If professors
were awake, they would see their danger and
avoid sinful amusements and ungodly assocl-
ations as men fly from fierce tigers or deadly
cobras-SpWqe0n.

SCANDAL MONGERS,


1t is related that Lysimachas once asked
Philippides what part of his possession he
would bestow upon him. "Whatever you
please" said Philippines, Except my Sc
crets." No doubt a great many persons
would have gladly received the kings secrets.
The truth is a large amount of the human
race never seem to be in their proper element,
except when they are prying into the private
affairs of their neighbors. This class of indi-
viduals know all the sins and faults of every
man and woman in the community. Publici-
ty is given to their knowledge in way en-
tirely peculiar. They premise what they
have to tell with these remarkable words, 81
will tell you something if you will not tell
any one." The conclusion of their converse
is always in these or similar words, Nov you
must not tell any one told you this" Thus
scandal mongers keep a community in fry.
They fill the air with loathsome stencil.
Many a fair name have they covered with
suspicion. These creatures should be Stunned
as we shun the deadly viper. Their breath
is poison, their touch is ruin. They 6ll the
family, neighborhood and church with dis
cord. The devil has no tools that he values
so much, and uses so frequently as these
scandal mongers. Retailing out scandal by
the dribs, is surely business too little, too
low, and too mean, for being, whose heaven
erected face indicates his divine origin, much
less for being bought with the blood of Je-
sus Christ. Surely no Christian will deal in
so filthy a trade. One of the characteristics
of the man who shall enter heaven, is that he
stakes not up an evil report against his neigh,
bor," even if it be true.

BESETTING SINS,


BESETTING SINS.
Every man has some sin or sins which are
peculiar to himself. They are the sins which
he is more liable to commit than any other.
They are the sins which he is liable to perpe-
trate at any time, and under any crcum-
stances. They are the sins which he is sure
to commit almost without being tempted.
Whatever sins he may be guilty of, these sins
are prepared for him at all times, and under
all circumstances. Unless the Christian strive
against these, he will 60 down to the bottom,
like lead. These besetting sins will frustrate
all his efforts, blast all his hopes, and destroy
all his spiritual enjoyment, unless they are
laid aside 1t is no use to try to get to hea-
ven unless these besetting sins are watched as
a thief is watched. If they are given loose
rens, they will dash the soul into hopeless
ruin. TO strive against these besetting sins
is anything else but pleasant. II is rowing
against the tide, sailing against the wind; but
we must struggle and toll or we will 60 down
to the bottom never to rise. To neglect these
besetting sins is to trife away the soul.

CLOVER.

Those who have never had clover patch
do not know the value of such thing. In
the spring, long forage is always scarce in
South Carolina. A few farmers generally
have enough of fodder to last them the year
round still larger number have only enough
to last until oats come in; but by far, the
greater number are without blade of fodder
or spear of grass by the first of April. Now,
it is a fact, not generally known, that what is
ususually called "roughness," " is more essential
to the health of horses and mules than corn.
That man who feeds his stock on nothing but
corn, cannot have fat and healthy stock.
Long forage, such as fodder, hay or shucks, is
required as a stimulus of distension. But
horses and mules need green food. Green
grass is the proper food for horses. The easi-
est way to supply work animals with green
food, is to SOW clover patch and cut the clo-
yer and give it green to the stock at their
regular feed hours.
The proper kind of soil for clover is red, stiff
land. The only difficulty in securing good
clover patch in this country is neglect. Clover
will grow we'll in any part of upper South
Carolina on the kind of soil we have mention
ed. Select piece of red land, put a good
fence around it, and then cover it with good
coat of some manure. You must be liberal
with the manure 1t is no use to try to make
clover on poor land. 1t will not pay. You
will only lose your seed. Having put
on the manure, plow it under with two.
horse plow, if you have such thing if not,
plow the land up as deep and as close as you
can. If this can not be done with one plow-
ing, then plow it over and over again until it
is thoroughly pulverized. This done, run
some kind of harrow over the land that will
break all the clods. In one word, prepare
the land in the same way, and as we'll, as if
you were going to sow turnips. When the
ground is properly prepared, and not before
it, SOW your seed at the rate Of three quarts to
the acre, and cover as you would turnip
seed. You can SOW any time during the
month of March and first of April. 1t per-
haps would be better to SOW it during the
month of February; but it will do very well
up to the first of April. Keep all stock off it
until it gets good start, and if your clover
patch does not pay you, then you may pull
down your fence and plant the patch in
what you please next spring. Be sure that
you give the thing fair trial. Do not be-
come disheartened if the clover does not come
up as large as cabbage head, and grow as
high as your head in month. You wait a
long time on cotton, and some oft never gets
very high.

RENOVATION OF WORN SoIL.-We all have
lands not worn out, but tired down by contin-
ual cropping, and we always have lands that
may be said to be worn out, since they are no
longer productive. We now want the best
and cheapest plan of renovating these lands,
80 as to grow remunerative crops 10 do
this we must have our lands charged with a
good supply of vegetable matter to make the
land lively and productive. This can only
be obtained by the turning under of green
crops and afterward judicious rotation of
crops; in doing this, we can only cultivate
what lands we can manure we'll, or such as
have not been exhausted. Let US take the
lands in the fall, break thoroughly and sub
soil: in the spring, plow and sow peas about
the first of June, and harrow them in.
Turn under the peas in September and sow
to rye, and pasture through the winter with
sheep; the second spring turn under rye at
proper time and again SOW to peas; these in
turn to be plowed in September then in Oc-
tober, by sowing one bushel of wheat or oats
and thirty bushels of cotton seed per acre,
and narrowing in we'll with clover seed light
ly narrowed in the spring, you are ready for
a iudicious system of rotation of crops-say
cotton, corn, wheat and clover. If lime can
be procured at reasonable prices it should be
used where green crops are turned under
