"STIoK TO DAD."-A farmers son
writes us the following: II am tired of
farming and want to come to town to
make living for myself. What do you
think of it ?"
Well, We think you are fool if you
don't stay at home. The city is overrun
with dead beats and tramps, and if you
have dead sure thing of making "bread
and meat" on the farm, you'd better stay
where you are, and dig potatoes, than come
hero and 80 to the Workhouse and peck
rock. Stick to dad. Stay on the farm
You are worth moro to yourself, to ysur
neighbors, 10 your State and the country at
large than all the one-horse mutton head
professional gentlemen that are living from,
hand to mouth in this city or State. You
stick to the plow, tho mower, the reaper,
freeze to that farm like fly blister to ne
groe's lip, raise rye, corn, hay, barley, oats,
potatoes; chop wood, maui rails, burn brush,
curry your mules, feed oxen, raise stock, and
instead of hanging around the street cor
ners dependent upon lunch houses to keep
sand out of your craw, you'll be at home
on your farm, living life Of "independent
happiness" while thousands of "nice young
men," too pretty and proud to work, and
too lazy to steal, will be lighting out cover

and lazy subjects of utter dependence upon
public charity. Young man, if you know

One more remark and sm done. In
this section for several years we have been
able to buy from one and half to two
bushels of corn with cne of oats, in the
mouths of October and November, tho Pc
riod when corn is harvested and oats in de-
mand for seed. Now, as it is a we'll deter
mined fact that the yield of oats is three
times greater than corn, Gin respect to
bushels) on same soil, even when oats arc
broadcasted, here is 45 to so bushels corn
from ordinary soil. To what extent this
is the case in other sections of the State,
and how long it may continue to be the case
here, of course 1 do not know, but it is
reasonbls to expect that for many years yet
bushcl of oats will purchase ono bushel
of corn. This ought to encourage us to
srvw osss,rssssly II isFndesEt.dlS -Ahe
surest crop that We can plant, and it Is to
be hoped that the advice of the Southern
Cultivator" will not go unheeded this fall.

stand is poor, in June, or as soon as the
grain crop is harvested. This could not be
done in our hot, dry olimate-the following
September would be quito as early as the
young plants could venture above ground
with safety. But we cannot commend too
highly the advice, to let the plants seed the
first year and thus correct defects in the
stand and to avoid weakening the plants by
grazing or moving, before they have become
strong and fully established. Pastures are
very frequently ruined by the desire to rea.
lize from them too soon.-ED. So CULTI-
VATOR.

'Is THIS SEAT OCCUPIED ?"-An old
but vigorous-looking gentleman, seemingly
from the rural districts, got into a car and
walked its full length without receiving an
invitation to sit down. Approaching one
gentleman, who had whole bench to him
self, he asked "Is this scat occupied Pr
eyes, sir, it is" impsrtinently replied the
other. "Well," replied the broad shoulder
ed agriculturist, ~ will keep this seat until
the gentleman comes" The original pro-
prietor withdrew himself haughtily to one
end, and looked insulted. After awhile tie
train got in motion, and still nobody came
to claim the seat, whereupon the deep p.ches-
ted agriculturist turned and said "Sir,
when you told me this seat was occupied
you told me lie"-such was his plain Lam
guage-"I never sit near liar if | can
avoid it; would rather stand up" Then
appealing to another party, he said: "Sir,
may l sit next to you ? You don't look
like liar" We need hardly .sy that he
got his scat, and that the original proprie-
tor thought that there was something wrong
about our social system.---BaH. Gazette

tanned yearly, which are consumed

every portion of the United States,

Hamburg. The alligators formerly

and New Orleans was the great cen

swamps and morasses are now the
harvest fields, and jacksonville, in
that state, the great depot. The ALI
gators often attain length of Is to

the belly and sides, the only portions
fit for use, are packed in barrels, in
strong brine and shipped to the
