GREETIa TO SoUTH CARoE1NA.--The
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel re-
views our ticket for State officers in
some very encouraging, words. It
considers South Carolina happy to
have such sons willing to serve her.
1t says: .., ...@5
With Hampton in the Executive
office, new and bright era will
dawn upon the Stat5; with Conner
as Attorney General, the Office will
again become synonomous with the
leadership of the bar Of the State:
with Leaphart as Treasurer and Ha-
good as Comptroller General, there
will be retreuchment and reform;
with Hugh S. Thompson--one of the
.able9t, purest, most successful and
most practical teachers in this couns
try--as State superintendent of Edu,
cation, the educational interests of
the State will be caretully fostered.
and the schools elevated TO higher
standard and greatly augmented in
number. In a word, with, such Of
ficials, South Carolina will no longer
be demoninated the PROSTATE State.
Men of South Carolina, thank God
and take courage! The past is gone,
the present ie yours; the future Shall
be yours, if you arc true to your
selves. .... .

TIE STATE TIoKEr.--The ticket pns
before the people by the Democratic
convention is the strongest ever Of
forsd for popular support in South
Carolina. With Hampton, Conner,
Hagood, Wageuer, McGowan and
Sims representing the distinguished
citizen soldiers of the State, and
Simpson, Noise, Thompson and Leap
cart the civil element, a ticket is
presented which commands the en-
thusiastic support of sll Caroliniana.
Here are offered lofty manhood, de-,
voted patriotism, pure integrity and
sterling ability.
The ticket is a platform of reform
principles, in their living reality and
active potency for good. We call
upon OarolMians, white and black,
to rally TO the rescue Of the State,
for law and order--peace and return
ing prosperity. .-Journal Of Com-+

cal views. For several years hewas
presidents Of the State Agricultural
Society. While Gen. Hagood enjoys
general popularity, his local strength
is peculiarly great. The extraodin-'
airy executive ability shown in the
management Of his planting interests
proves him to be singularly we'll
qualified to discharge satisfactorily
the duties of the Office for which he
is nominated.
Capt. S, L. Leaphart, of Richland, =,
was Comptroller General in 1865,
and was succeeded BY. Neagle in
1868. He has many friends, and
his fitness for the responsible position
to which he has been nominated is
unquestioned. Under his manage
ment all !eakes will be stopped in
the treasury.
Major Hugh S. Thompson, for
many ) ears, both as Professor in the
State Military Academy and as Prin-
cipal of the Columbia Male Acade-
my, hGs been connected with the ed
ucatiouM interests of the State. His
past and present success in his pros
iession indicate him as the right man
in the right place. Under him the
chaos existing in the free school
system would soon be reduced to
order. 1885,.
The State ticket closes with Major
E. W. Noise, OF Sumter, the nomi-

Thelateat report OF the Government
Department Of Agriculture shows an
increase in the entire corn area of
the country OF five per cent. over last
year. The crop is in general in a
thrifty growing state. Insect iniu-
ries have been limited to depreda.
tions by worms, and are not serious.
The entire crop averages ninety
seven. Winter wheat improved Id
condition from eighty seven per cent.
of an average in June to ninety seven
per cent. in July. West Virginia
shows the highest average, 115.-
Spring wheat shows about eighty five
per cent. of an average condition. In
New York it is full average. The
reports concerning Winter rye, are
favorable, and Spring rye is about
on average on The whole. The oat
crop has improved in most of the
States In the Middle States it has
risen above the average, except in
Delaware. Public opinion in the
South is growing decidedly in favor
of Winter crops of oats. The crop
Of the whole country is about an
average. Spring barley is above
the average in New York and other
States; in still other States it is be-
low. The hay crop is ample, being
above average in most of the States.
The acreage planted in potatoes in
1876 is aboutg eight per cent. lees
than in 1876; New York shows a.
reduction in acreage Of fifteen per
cent; in New England and the Mids
die States the crop in condition is

FARM AND GARDEN.
Keep the Stock Clean.

II is a fact that no domestic animal is un-
clean from choice. Naturally they have an
aversion to uncleanlness, and If their move
ments are noted 1t will be found that they in
variably chose clean, dry places to lie upon.
II stock are uncean, ii is owing to no fault
ot theirs, but entirely to the neglect and care
lessness OF their owners, or the persons hav-
ing charge of them. In this country too lit
tie attention is paid by farmers in general to
The cleanliness of their stock, the general eX'
cuse being that to attempt to keep animals
clean is of very little USE besides taking up
too much time. In England the case Is dli1er-
ent; their particular attention psid to the clean
Iiness of stock and their surroundings; and
j! Is really pleasure to visit the stables and
barnyards in that country, ana note the care.
tul attention paid to their cleanliness and
healthfulness How often il is the case in
this country that, on visiting farmers BAN
ward, his cows will be seen standing about
with their tlanks, bags and tails all covered
with fresh dung. Is it any wonder, then, that
the boys on farm, who generally have most
of the barn work to do, or a large share of 1t,
get slch and tired of being obliged to rouse
up at an early aour in the morning to milk a
lot of COWS in such a condition? The day
has gone by for a farmer to follow IN the
footsteps OF his foretathers, in many respects.
II they saw tit, or did not know any better,
than TO erect low, damp and unhealthy sta.
bles, there is no necessity of his following
their example. This Is an age of improve.
ment, and improved and well-cons,ructed
stables are as much Of necessity as our i'm
proved dwellings are over the old-fashiOned
iarm.houses erected over fifty years ago.
Cattle should be prevented from lying down
in their ordure thar is the main secret in
keeping them clean. In order to do this, they
should have platform just lCng enough for
them to stand upon; behind this there should
be a. trench about SIX inches deep and two
feet wide; behind this trench there should be
walk wide enough for two COWS to pass and
few inches higher than the platform upon
which the cows stand With a stable SO ar
ranged, a moderate supply OF bedding and
cleaning ii twice a day, you Will find that
there is not much trouble in keeping cattle
clean, and that you will not need rar OF
stick boots to get between the cows.
The pg.pen should also receive share OF
ones attention. The pen should be built
good and strong with the sleeping apart
mcnt dry, warm and sheltered; the trough
we'll secured and placed where it will be con-
venient for feeding; care should be taken to
have it above the furtace of the yard, for if
it is placed on the ground it will generally
