Col. d. Wyatt Aiken, the Gran
ger member of Congress from South
Carolina, has heard of our State
Geologist /; though he isn't quite
sure whether he is commissioner or
otherwise. At any rate he thus
writes to the Charleston News, of
which he is agricultural editor:
Besides the letter to which we
replied some time ago, we have re-
ceived several inquiring about the
varieties, prices and mode of gath
ering the Sumac. To the last in
quiry replied fully. In the North
Carolina FARMER AND MECHANIC
we find the following article, which
satisfactorily answers the remaining
inquiries. This article is from the
pen of an eminent North Carroll
MAN, who has filled the position of
State GeOlogist, and, we believe, is
to-day either that officer or the
Commissioner of Agriculture Of
North Carolina. He says he has
for ten years urged the farmers of
North Carolina to gather and ship
the sumac, because he knows it can
be so economically prepared for
market, that North Carolina might
supply the world, and thereby pro-
duce a handsome revenue to the
State and her people,"
All right, Colonel (; but we guess
su-mac a mistake about Prof. Kerr,

R~etributive Justice.

Apropos of an item of news
which comes all the way from Italy,
;ays an exchange, and is to the ef-
feet that Mrs. John Lorrimer Ora
ham, wife, now widow Of our for
mel Consul to Florence, is about
to marry her first husbands Italian
Secretary, there is a little story.
Mrs. Lorrlmer was before her mar
riage Miss Josephine Garner,
daughter Of the millionaire pro
prletor of numerous great cotton
manufactures. Mr.. Graham be-
longed to a good family, but had
no fortune. and was occupying the
position of confidential clerk in
Mr.. Gamers office when he mar
ried his daughter. At the time of
a business crisis, about 1857, when
no man felt safe, Mr.. Garner, as a
precautionary measure, placed
$4,000 in his son-in-law's keep
ing, not as a gift, but in trust
against possible contingencies.
Those possibilities be came realities.
Mr.. Garner failed, but relied on his
reserve fund to begin life anew.
He applied to his son-in-law for the
money, but Mr.. John Lorrimer
Graham declined to relinquish. He
had it, and he was determined to
keep it.

his word. He did go into business
again, he succeeded so as to leave
when he died, a few years ago, a
fortune of several millions behind
him. One million dollars of this
money was left to his daughter
Josephine after her husbands
death. Before that event she could
not touch it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham lived
abroad, and entertained magnifi-
Gently on the interest of the $780,

a United States Consul. One year
ago Mr.. Graham died, and his
widow came in for her million,
which is now to be shared, by the
handsome and gentlemanly secre-
tary Of the late husband.

I aiming on Shares.

We never did fancy the '.crop-
ping-on-" shares" system of plant
ing, and will never adopt it again.
A copartnership of any sort on the
farm is Objectionable. To make
such a thing fair and equitable
each party should have equal in
vestments in the concern, and we
have yet seen the farmer that
estimated his own time and super
vision as of any value when he con-
tracted with a laborer for a part of
the crop. Two men going into
business together should in the
outset furnish an equal amount of
capital, which upon our farms
means three things, to wit; intelli-
gence, subsistence and labor. In
this instance the first of these three
prerequisites is seldom furnished
by the party to the second part of
the contract, and not much more
frequently do they furnish a liberal
supply OF the second, and it is at
all times a difficult matter to deter
mine just exactly what proportion
of the crop the third element in the
copartnership is worth. We inva-
rlably prefer paying for in money,
and not in a portion of the crop.
We therefore say to our FRIEND or
any other farmer who is now con-
templating sowingasmall grain crop
OF any kind this fall, the land is
yours, the seed should be yours, the
manure if any used, is yours. Then
hire the labor of both man and an
imals, if you have no plough mules
of your own, and superintend the
sowing and harvesting.
We do not know how it is with
other farmers, but we could never
induce a negro to pitch a crop sat
lsfactorlly to us in which he had an
interest. If the grain is covered
they are satisfied, for they know
nothing of any other condition
necessary to secure a good crop.
And unless the farmer is present
and has the work done to suit him
self, the effort of the copartner will
be to satisfy himself and not his
employer. When wages are paid,
the ploughing a be done as re-
CURED, the harvesting can be in the
same way directed, and then at d.
vision time there is no chance for
quibbling or objections. Hence we
say to our friend, plough your land
deep and well with hired labor,
soak your wheat twelve hours in
strong bluestone solution, five
bushels to one pound,) SOW your
own grain, hire your repers, and
put your own threshed grain in
your own bins.-D. Wyatt Aiken,
IN Charleston NeWs.

That there is need of reform in
some of our agricultural societies
there is no doubt. When a few
hundred dollars are offered as pre-
miums for the best cattle, sheep
and swine, and for the best farm
products, while thousands are paid
out in prizes to fast horses, ''there
is something rotten in Denmark
At one famous fair the prizes for
horses were paid in full, and only
so per cent. allowed on the premi-
ums for cattle and other stock.
This was neither just nor gener-
Gus, and should not be tolerated.
With farmers as managers of our
fairs, no such doings may be ex-
pected. The principle that "Amerl-
cans should govern America" may
be thus ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
rists should manage agricultural
fairs. "-Aleaander Hyde.

At the Missouri agricultural col
lege, out of 81 varieties of wheat
sown the experimenter says, in
those varieties yielding twenty II
more bushels per acre, the amount
of straw per bushel varied from
o. pounds in the Clawson to 2O4.6
pounds in the Russian No. 5-a
difference of 1852 in favor of the
Clawson. A bushel of Clawson
wheat requires COR its growth 1,O3
pounds Of soda and potash; a
bushel of the Russian No. 5 re-
quires 1,73 pounds of the same ele-
ments, or, in other words, a crop
of thirty five bushels of Clawson is
no more exhaustive to the soil than
is a crop of twenty bushels of the
Russian wheat.

Jim Murrill an Ex-COnvictc
Stolen Articles Found

A suspicious looking negro pass
ed down the Taylorsyille road on
the 4th inst. His questions and
actions aroused suspicion, and he
was followed by a party of four
men, who overlook him near DR..
Blair's mill. On seeing them he
took to the bushes. The patch of
woods, containing about %fouracres,
was then surrounded by about
twelve men; but he made his escape
after being shot at by one Of the
party. The last seen Of him was
in the woods near Mr.. Thompson
McRary's. He is a mulatto about
tw%enty-four years old, and was
dressed well. He says he was llv-
