What Can be Done.


A great many persons in this
country out of employment are in
the habit of asking what they can
do to make living-how they can
go to farming without a farm to go
on-and if they are offered land for
only the cost of entering it how they
are to get to it and work it without
horses, wagons, implements, and a
years stock of provisions. Proba-
bly, the best way to answer these
questions IS TO cite facts showing
what can be done by what has been
done. The Southern States have
produced some fine examples of in
dividual effort in the way of making
a living under very adverse circum-
stances, and it will not be unprofit-
able to mention few of them. The
Newberry Is. c. Herald says there
are four widows in that vicinity
who have each accomplished what
many a man would hardly dream
of doing. One while raising four
children without assistance has
managed to make a crop every year,
keep out of debt and pay cash down
for all she buys. Another has the
proceeds of one cotton crop ahead
and 5000 pounds of flour besides
all the product of her own farm.
Another has labored heroically on
her farm ever since the war, and
with the assistance of her children,
six in number, made a living and
bought additional land for which
she paid Ss1,40O. Another has
managed her own little farm since
the war and managed it so well as
to have reared several children, kept
out of debt and saved some money
which she loans out at interest.
Hundreds of similar cases are to be
found in the Southern States-and
in the Northern States, too. When
an American woman has living
to make she generally goes at it and
succeeds. There are no female
tramps, they all belong to the other

Bee Notes for September.

One of the principal interests OF
the present month is the care of the
surplus honey. 1t should be kept
in a cool dry place. Box honey
should be examined occasionally,
and if moth worms are found they
should be picked off and destoyed.
Extracted honey may be stored in
tin or wooden watts, or casks; If
wood is used, it should be first
coated with wax. Hives that have
cast swarms should be examined to
ascertain if they have laying queens.
as the young queen will at times
be lost when the hives contain no
broods from which the bees may
rear another. If hive should be
found without queen, one should
be supplied, or brood given them
from which they may rear a queen.
A hive that has been queenless will
often contain so much honey that
the queen will find but little empty
comb for brood rearing. In this
case the honey should he removed
with the extractor. Hives that are
not queenless may often be benefit
ted by removing the honey from
the center combs, which will allow
a much larger number of young
bees to be reared.

Deep Flowing.

After discussing the advantages
of deep blowing at some length the
journal of Progress adds the fol
lowing reasons in favor of deeply
working in soil;
L. 1t gives full scope to the roots
Of vegetables, causing them to be
come more fibrous than they would
become in packed soil, and hence to
afford growth far better opportuni-
ties of feeding.
2. 1t admits the air directly to
the spongioles of the roots, without
which no plant can have a healthy
growth.
8. 1t raises the temperature OF
the soil in the spring by admitting
the warm air and rain.
4. 1t acts as a drain in excessive
wet weather, causing the water to
settle down and escape through the
subsoil, or Immediately along the
surface.
5. 1t leads to more rapid decom-
position of dead vegetable matter
in the soil by bringing directly in
contact with decomposing grass,
thus speedily converting it into
plant food.

An English paper gives the fol-
lowing clue to the Interpretation
of dreams: To dream of mill
stone round your neck is sign of
what you may reasonably expect if
you get an extravagant wife. To
see apples in a dream, betokens a
wedding, because where you find
apple you may reasonably expect
to find pears. To dream that you
are lame, is a token that you will
get in a hobble. When a young
lady dreams of coffin, it betokens
that she should instantly discon-
tinue lacing her stays tightly and
always go warmly and thickly shod
in wet weather. If you dream OF
a clock, it is a token that you will
gain credit-that Is, tick. To dream
of fire, is a sign that if you are
wise you will see that the lights in
your house are out before you go
to bed. To dream that your nose
is red at the tip, is an intimatlon
that you had better leave off brandy
and water. To dream of walking
barefooted, denotes a journey that
you will make hootless.

Fall Following.

AS a means of preparing lands for
spring crops, there is none better
than what is known as fall fallow
ing. Our drier season makes this
as effective in cleaning the soil as
the English farmers summer tallow.
Two plowings may be given, if nee
essary, before the winter, and a
final deep blowing for the last will
leave the soil in fine condition in
spring, for root crops or corn. If
any following is to be done, it
should be begun at once.
A mellow soil, well rolled and
packed, is what the seed requires to
terminate in. If the soil is cloddy,
the young roots are exposed to the
action of air in the open spaces,
and dried and killed. This is the
secret of many failures of what were
at first promised seedlings. Re-
peated narrowing and rollings are
needed to produce the proper con
ditlon of the soil. No matter if the
surface is somewhat rough, if the
soil beneath is mellow and fine.
Indeed, we would rather have the
top a little rough.

The Lottery of Life.

A young man goes into room
of an evening, with heart as free
as an minated swallow, and comes
out of it a captive for life; and the
maiden knows what the youth
thinks, and in her heart says amen
to the revelation, though il may
take sometime to say it with her
lips.
The young gentleman comes in
his Sunday best, and takes young
young to a concert; walks home with
her from church and stays to tea;
that is really all they know of each
other. God forgive them! 1t is
like game of cards, in which it is
of the first importance to both not
to reveal their hands! but the revc
lation is made at last and they find
that both intended to cheat, and
did what they intended.

Progressive Farming.


Agriculture, says a writer in the
New Jersey Agriculturist, is the
greatest civilizer of the world, and
farming, to be successful, must pro
gress with the march of time and
keep pace with the nations pro-
gress.
Farming in the olden time was
done by main strength and awk-
wardness, but now intelligence n ust
be brought to bear, system must be
adopted Laborssaving machinery
has wrought great changes in farm
ing its judicious use and manage
ment is economy, and is practically
necessary to tie production of our
immense crops of grain. Agrcul-
tural papers are another great aid
to progressive farming in gathering
the valuable experience of the best
farmers, with all the latest improve
ments in implements, culture of
crops, stock breeding, etc. Pro
gressive farmers read these papers
and profit thereby. They keep
farm accounts and know just what
they are doing, what their profits
and expenses are. Their surplus
money invested on the farm, in inn
proved stock and machinery, and
the mprovements of the farm and
home comforts, or assists in the es-
Establishment of manufactures in the
community, instead of loanlng it
out for the inevitable ten per cent.
His house is pleasant and attractive,
and the boys are all at home, for
they have all learned that there is
both pleasure and profit in intelli
gent and progressive farming.
With diversity of crops and a
variety of stock of improved breeds,
the dull drudgery of farm life is
changed to pleasant and profita
BILE employment, and the centennial
year just closed marks an era of the
more general introduction of the
principles of progressing farming.

work and less physical labor, if you

Letter from East Tennessee.

GREENvLLE, Tenn, Sept. IL, ~.
EDITOR CITIZEN Feeling great
interest in your valuable paper and
knowing you want items from diff
ferent sections of the State, I take
pleasure in noting few more from
East Tennessee.
There is a range of mountains
extending through from north east
to northwest, and iron of a supe
rior quality is found in different
counties. The E. T. & V. railroad
runs parallel with the mountains
belt in many places from 10 to %
miles west, consequently without
branch roads and with the low
prices of the metal it can not be
made profitable. There are two
furnaces in Green county standing
idle within II or IA miles of tn
railroad, and the managers say it
will not pay to haul by wagons.
There was narrow gauge railroad
commenced at Greenville to run by
the way of those furnaces to Ash
vile, N. c., but it turned out like
the Memphis and Knoxville at Pu-
iaski. They had. no legal charter
and the subscribers bolted after the
road was partly graded.
The productions of East Tenn.
are corn, wheat and oats, and stock
OF all kinds are raised, but grass is
not abundant outside of meadows.
The bottom lands grow grass and
clover well, but the ridges are gen
orally thin soil and covered with an
underground of bushes. Fruits
grow well but there is no market
for green fruit, and the people are
brought under the necessity of dry
ing, but that and blackberries
amount to a considerable sum of
money in East Tenn. and Virginia.
Tobacco is also raised to some ex-
tent in a few counties. Stock and
grain are low and but little demand,
consequently money is scarce and
farmers holding, believing the East
ern war will raise prices. The trade
is generally bartering on a small
scale. The lands have been greatly
neglected. But few improvements
are being made, and the people are
restless. Many speak of moving
West. Some might better their
condition, but if a man is well stu
ated in Tennessee he had better re-
main. GreenSille is at a stand, and
/ consider business dull with the
merchants. The first store house
built in the place is standing, and
the shop in which Andrew johnson
worked as tailor. His residence
is unoccupied. The weather is de
lightful and health excellent. Doc
tors having but little to do. The

There is not q country in the
world where the people are becom-
ing so extravagant in the mode OF
dressing and living as in the United
States. 1t is one of the worst signs
of the times. The habits of the
mushroom aristocracy are really
disgusting. How ludicrous it looks
to see boys sporting diamonds by
the thousand dollars worth at a
time, whose father were accustomed
to wheel barrows, and whose child
rem are pretty certain to be in a
work house. And girls-silly. sim
pering things, weighed down with
Jewels and bracelets-whose moth
ers broke their backs at the wash
ing-tub, or securing floors and pick
ing oakum. The real substantial
aristocracy never indulge in such
fopperies and fooleries.

The setting of shade trees along
both sides of the roads in the farm
ing districts is often advocated by
the rural press, as a means Of in.
creasing the value of farms, in con.
sequence of the pleasantness OF
such street when the trees become
large. There Is no mistake in this
opinion; and farmers would do well
to club together and set naples,
elms, ETC., along their farms, and
then see that no cattle are allowed
to run in the highway.
