DIVERSIFIED AGRICULTURE, SOUTH.
We are glad to notice that Southern
planters are turning their attention year
by year, more and more to the culture OF
breadstufs, especially corn. They should
also pay attention to cattle and particular.
" corn. Theywih find diversified agrical-
ture in the end to pay better than ali
cotton, all rice or all sugar. If tha Eq7
ropean war lasts, it will not only appre-
ciate the, price of breadstuHs and meat;
but it will IN avery considerable degree
tend to depress the price of cotton. Ger!
tainly cotton will not appreciate il price,
Turkey and Russia are both large buyers
of cotton goods. These markets for cot
tons must, in great measure, be closed
during the war, and to such an extent
undoubtedly, as to act on the raw mate
rial. In any event, the South ought to
be able. with improved machinery TO
raise corn far cheaper than they can.im-
port it. There are also large areas there
adapted TO the growing Of wheat. We
hope to see her. farmers alive toithe i'm
portance of these crops. It's only
through diversified agriculture that 9
country can grow permanently rich.
The South must, for many years yet, to
come, be the great cotton producing
country of the world. The South, should
produce not only what sugar the whole
country needs, but much for export. So
she should also produce largely of rice.
With these, she should also produce
enough of other farm crops, at least, to
feed the working population of her
farms.-,Somhern Farmer.

The greatest men in. the world have

many have owed their greatness mainly
to their popular manners, which induced

them an opportunity to show their power.

NEW STEAM BRAKE.-Some interest
ing experiments were made yesterday in
the yard of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road with a new steam brake constructed
BY the company at its Mount Glare
works. The brakes were attached to q
regular passenger engine, and distance
of one.tenth Of a mile run on down
grade of twenty feet to the mile. At the
first trial, at speed of twenty.six miles
per hour, stop was made in the distance
of two hundred and ninety-four feet, the
brakes being applied to the drivers of
the engine. In the second experiment,
alta speed of sixteen miles per hour, it
stopped in two hundred and thirty feet.
At twenty.seven miles per hour stop
was madein FIVE hundred and eighty-two
feet. A final trial at thirty-three miles
per hour, using steam on the "driver"
brakes, and air, .on.the tender, the stop
was made in FIVE hundred and eighty
three feet. This is regarded as the best
result ever obtained with q brake. This
invention will be applied toafl passeu-
ger engines running on the heavy grades,
and it is estimated that a train will be
stopped by them lin Its own length

Two TERRIBLE FRIENDs.-They tell
a good story on one of the boys who lives
at Mineral Mill, and who happened to
arrive in town during the progress of the
late Inauguration ball. His social in
stincts prompted him to attend, but his
attire was not quite up to the mark, and
he applied to friend for the necessary
articles of apparel. The friend consen.
ted with some. reluctance, and, arrayed-
in borrowed splumes, our hero engaged in.
the festivities. The owner of the. gar.
ments watched, him as he treaded the
may dance, ,sand after itSSwas oyer, and
he had esconced himself in seat by the
side of fair charmer, approached him
and broke loose with the following re-
mark:
"See here, D., them pants is new,
and wish you wouldn't set down and
make knees in them"
D. came very near fainting from
modification, and abruptly left the hall,
followed by sympathizing friend who
had overheard the remark, and felt sorry
for his embarrassment. D. stripped
off those pants, and after much solicita-
ton accepted the loan of another pair
from his uew-found friend, and, after
some hesitation, returned to the ball
room and soon forgot his troubles in the
smiles of the company of the fair dane
ers. A polka was called on. He was on
the floor with the belle of the evening,

Rye

The latter.part tot thismonth or during
the first half of next, SOW rye for winter
and spring pasturage. The RarG World
says of it, the farmer that does not raise
crop of. rye forlhis stock makes great
mistake. To this ne would add that il
is cheap, and all kinds of stock like it.
AS pasturage for miIch COWS there is
nothing better. Green food mixed with
the dry provender Of winter serves to
keep stock in, healthy scondition, and
their bowels open; and for weakly calves
and colts no pasturage is quite 80 good as
rye in the early spring,
In many ways rye is 8 superior stock
crop, and one that no farmer ought to
omit in the process of rotation. The
practice of resting land with briers and
weeds isnot aproftable one. Land does
mot require rest, as was once suEpapSsed,
but only needs a change of crops Joined
with recuperative tillage and manuring
to increase constantly ID fertility. :. As a
rotative crop for this purpose, rye serves
an excellent use. 1t draws but lightly
on the soil, and leaves. more Of the ,ele-
ments of fertility in the, field than it. ea-
tracts from it. Land is always benefited
by plowing, and as rye requires first a
plowing of the soil and afterwards leaves
a porous, sod full of roots to make manure
for succeeding crop, it is easy to see
how this crop is beneficial. This is if
We regard it as spasturage crop alone.
But this is not all, or perhaps the best,
of its uses. As bread crop it is con-
sidered almost fnot quite equal to wheat.
The reader will recall q brief paragraph
in allusion to this fact in eur last, weeks
issue. We are obliged at present to take
the statement of the savans on trust, and
assume tits correct. Trial, however, is
good test of merit. During the past
spring we partook of rye bread almost
exclusively forseserA day, ,and although
we prefer wheat -four for general family
purposes ne found the rye to makes q
good and. swe belieges sgery nutriti ions
bread. AS substitute for buckwheat
-four in the manufacture of that yinc0m7
parable breakfast dish, it can. hardly. be
detected. So that, if not the equal of
-four, it supplies an excellent bread ma
terial which every farmer would do well
to- raise some Of We like q change in
our food frequently, and in view Of the
capabilities Of our soil and climate, what
excuse have We; for not catering to this
want? IF It were hut an acre, planted in
rye for, this purpose. it would,serye agood
plfpose by increasing, the iuxuries of.the
farmers tablet BY all means plant a
little rye during the next twenty Or thir::
tysdays.-Rural ( Ya:)) Messenger. ! .9g. M

= A very picturesque story is told by
a White Sulphur Springs correspondent
of the Courier Journal, regarding the
widow of Gov. Pickens, of South Caro-
lima. "She was very much grieved," says
thus Correspondent, calmly, sat ia news
papers article concerning herself, which
spoke of her accepting Coy. Pickens on
condition. that lhel obtained a. Foreign
Mission. She said that it, seemed. so
mercenary and calculating in girl of
eighteen. The truth was that she was
au only child, and the Mission to Russia
was the mothers objection to the mar.
riage. Gov. Pickens was rejected, and
had taken his passage. for Europe. He
wrote farewell letter to his lady-love,
but before concluding, said it was not too
late for her to change her mind, for if
she would telegraph him: after receiving
the letter, and accept his proposals, he
would meet her in New Orleans and let
the, steamer sail without him. She did
accept, and few weeks afterward they
sailed together as man and wife. The
marriage proved happy, nothing but the
war interrupting the course of true love.
Governor and Mrs. Pickens returned to
South Carolina about the time thatState
seeded; During their. residence il Eu.
rope, they had made many purchases of
pictures, statuary, furniture, rare laces
and Jewels. These arrived at the port of
New York in sailing vessel, month
after their arrival. Everything was con-.
fscated. Among the articles were busts
of the Governor and his wife by Powers.
A New York gentleman purchased these
at the sale, and after the war was over
sent them to the owners in South Caro-

SAYING SEED CoRN.-The. suggestion
that there was 's,tsex", in. the ear foflcorn
is simply moonshine. The tassel or ra.
ceme is one sex and the silk is another.
The best ear is uniform in size through
out entire length the rows are straight,
With uniformly shaped grains stheentire
length, and! !inclinesto extend over each
end, and indeed to cover the silk end.
To have seed that will certainly grow,
no matter what the weather or how long
it may be in the ground, it must be gath
cred before there is any freezing weather,
and Immediately be thoroughly dried, 80
that the,cob is as dry as it can belnaade; (;
if so dried, after-treatment is of seconda-
ry importance. Seed corn treated in this
manner, picked any time after it has
passed the milky state, will grow, and
the produce will not deteriorate.
No season in the northern belt of
States sufficiently dries or cures the cob
of the larger varieties of corn enough to
warrant reliance on, its termination, if
not subject TO artificial drying il addition
to the. natural. forces. The inevitable
tendency in all varieties of maize in cold
seasons or in latitudes higher than the
belt where peaches can be successfully
grown, away from large bodies off water,
IS to rapidly shorten the ear; and 70
keep up prodnct nctiyeness, long ears should
be first sought for that are otherwise the
nearest perfect as previously stated
No doubt it is wise to reslse,the grains
at each end, if they are zdiminutivec and
Irregular in shape; but if the ear is per-
feet little or no rejection is needed. =
We are willing to stake our credibility
on the single statement that il. seed corn
is thoroughly dried, cob. included, as set
forth above, it is as certain to sprout as
that it comes. in contact with sufficient
moisture and warmth.
For ten years have had.no degree of
failure with seed corn, treated as,herein
directed. Sweet corn thus managed is
Just as sure to growias theS haldier varies
