nATTEMPrING roo MUCH {,

d. z. Il vans in the Prdcticol EtuMier says:
!" The most com mon fault with far mers, as
a rule, is attempting too much. We have
been there ourselves, and we well know
how true 1T is. ior scarcely a year passes
over our head but what we could truthful
ly say, in the fall, that we had during The
year laid out too many things, and that
other and necessary ones suffered more or
less from doing so. In the spring a lot OF
work is mapped out, in most cases much
more than can be properly carried through
during the growing season, for the farmer,
having had a comparative rest during the
winter, comes forth IN spring with renew
ed energies and over-rates his powers.
Planting the various crops is but small
part of the work, com paratively speak
Ing. A large lot OF corn is put in, several
acres of potatoes are planted, a field of
sweet corn is planted; then come be ans
peas and other "trucK." especially large
plantations of ca bbage, sweet potatoes aud
tomatoes Before the last things are plant
ed, those first set out require cultivation,
and the area requiring imm ediate cultiva-
tion rapidly increases. A wet spell OF sew
eral days or a week may set In, and then,
as soon as the soil is in condition, The cul-
tivators must be set going lively to keep
the weeds and grass down and the soil
mellowed up. Then there is the hoeing TO
be done, which takes hands to do IL as
well as considerable time. During this
time, too, the fruit trees and vines must
have attention-must be plowed and culti-
waited, while haylng soon follows to make
the farmer still more busy.
Three or four men can plant many more
things than the same number can properly
attend TO during the season; O. pecia1ly Is
this so with garden vegetab es raised for
market, for not only have they to be culti-
vailed, but they have To be gathered when
fit for market, making it an unceasing
round of labor. There are but few culti-
vators of the soil who do not attem pJ All y
more than they can successfully complete,
though there are some who invariably car
ry the Thing greatly to excess. and put
about thrice the amount of crops in the
ground that they can or do properly culti-
vate, the result being weedy, neglected
place, doing no credit to It's possessor and
returning but meagre prt tfits; If any, for
the labor bestowed One acre well taken
care of will retur much more profit than
Two or three acres but poorly cultivated
for the latter, IN many cases returns no
profit at ALL besides being an eyt soIe To all
VINO see 1t, and very naturally conveying
the impression that the owner rs a shift
less, lazy person, and not fit to be styled a
farmer"

THE election for State Senator in Beau
fort county, South Carolina, took place
on Monday, and though the Democratic
candidate made vigorous canvass, the
Republican competitor was easily elect
ed, his majority being 1900. How the
'bloody shirt" organs will reconcile this
result with their professions it is hard to
say, for according to their reckoning Re-
publicans in the South must have from
10000 to 100000 more votes than theiI
opponents, before they can secure even a
nominal majority. The Beaufort county
Republicans evidently know more about
voting than their less fortunate brethren.

THE SILVER BILL.
SPEECH OF MR.. WALLACE.


Mr.. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, said:-
We had double standard from 1892 to
1873. Gold and silver were both used
and recognized from 1853 to 1873. Gold
drove out silver because silver was un-
dervalued. 1t stood at more than 100
cents for 81 in gold, both here and IN
England. When our bonds were issued,
from 1861 to 1873, coin meant both gold
and SILVER. and the option to pay in
either was ours. When the founding act
of 1870 was passed we made the whole
81 500, 100000 payable in coin of the then
standard value. That value was 4l2%
grains of silver and Is $40 grains of T. Id
TO the dollar. This was ordered to be in
dorsea upon the bonds and it was SO in--
dorsed. All of the bonds contained this
express provision. One of the bonds
which ne held IN his hands had upon it
these word:-"rhe United States of
America are indebted to the bearer in
the sum of $50" This bond is issued in
accordance with the provisions of an act
OF Congress OF July Ia, 1870, and is re-
deemable at the pleasure of the United
States after the first day Of July.

value of the United States on
said July II. 1870, with interest in
such coin from the dag of the date here
# at the rate of four per centum, paya-
A0AkOAAJ1 49,

said the law made the contract, the
bond expressed it and gave notice OF
it. Every bond sold since 1870 was, and
is payable by the very terms OF the con-
tract, in gold dollars of 25 $40 grains, Oh
silver dollars of 4l2X grains. Are we

The Benefit ofPastures

Sooner or later the American far
mel Will come to know the full val
lie OF pasture and the necessities Of
Its preservation. The common prac-
Tee OF turning every animal upon
the pasture during the first warm
days, III April is not only iniurous
To the animals but destructive To
h grasses. The tender blade Of
grass is plucked in It's first effort 70
utilize the sunlight. The root
growth is influenced BY the top
growth, and becomes a mass Of
aprangles with no great power,
ms close cropping tends to make
Il thlck, strong sod, but the top
growth Is more like lawn Grass
some grasses seem to thrive under
ms treatment. Blue grass is pc
cullarly adapted to close grazing.
and should be used only for early
ana late pasture. Even upon this.
1t Is better not to turn the stock
until there is some firmness in the
soil; the yield of grass will also be
much greater.
Early and late pasturing of clio
yer Is absolutely destructive. The
heavy tread of the cattle breaks the
crown of the clover in the early
spring and kills it; in the fall. close
cropping leaves 1t too exposed.
