Ofall persons the farmer should study
hi- profession. By study J do not mean
simply such things as ARE learned in
books but he should study at the plow-
handle and in the field, among his llocks,
in his orchard, and particularly in his
barn-yard,
In one sense the farmer is also man
uiacturcr He changes his grass and
corn into beef pork, wool, butter, cheese
and a variety Of products, In another
sense he is chemist; he SO compounds
manure with his soil as to make both
available plant food. lie should be an
artist OF artists so as to be able TO pro-
ducc the beautiful groves, orchards and
lawns. for the inferior artists to paint,
sketch and cngraye And above all, he
should be 4 brain worker, And yet how
many there are who think any eimpIcton
can be a farmer! What is the trouble
with nine.tcnths OF the farms in the
land? | viii venture an answer: Want
OF brain power, properly managed.
Ask the average western farmer what
is his system Of rotation Of crops, and, il
he be honest, he will tell YOU he has
none. You need not ask what are his
plans for making and saving manure
glance at his farm will show you that
he has none. Such man may he sue
ccsstul in raising . Few crops Of corn and
wheat on new land, but what will he do
when his land will not produce paying
crops? Probably he will take Greeley 5

like sIave--in fact, never like g slave,

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Vance and Settle have opened the gu-
bernatOrial campaign.
1t is suggested that State band be or.
ganized in North Carolina.
Governor Brogden has appointed ex-
Senator Pool, Radical, Superintendent of
public instruction.
All the North Carolina State officials
are off electiouee1ing, and the State is
without visible head.
Mr.. Thomas Symonds, OF Charlotte,
expresses his Indignation at seeing him
self placed on the Radical executive
committee Of Mecklenburg.
The relatives Of the young English
man who was found shot dead in q Will
mington hotel, have telegraphed back to
have his remains inferred at Whining
ton for the present.
The wife Of Df. Penix (Who shot him.
self some time ago at Lexington, North
Carolins) was, few nights ago, fired at
through the wi dow by some miscreaut
outside and wounded in the arm.
Mr.. Benjamin s. Lassiter, Of Oxford,
who led class Of one hundred at Prince
ton, four years ago, and has since
studied in Germany, has been ordained
deacon in the Episcopal church.
1t is said that Chief-Justice Pearson
will not sit on the bench with Judge
Henry, if the governor should appoint
him. In case Brogden cannot bargain
for the support of Craven and Jones with
Judge Seymour and George Green, aud
should on that account fail to get the
congressional nomination, it will then
be to his future political interests to
make terms with w. T. Fairclotb, ESQ.,,
and he will in all probability be ap-
pointed.
