The SATELLITES OF MARs.-Writing To The
London Times, Mr. Richard 4. Proctor points out that
Kcper the first person 10 suggest the probability OF
moons accompanying Mars. In IA letter 10 his friend
Wachenfcls in 1910 Kepler says :" I am so far from
dsbeeving OF the four circumovia plan
cts that long for telescope to anticipate you, II poss
BILE, in discovering two round Mars, the proportion
seems require sir eight round Saturn and perhaps
one each round Mercury and Venus" IL from this
suggestion doubt says Mr. Proctor that YOare and
Swift borrowed their guesscs which, however they pre-
sent In such a that supposed they had really
the satellites, IDEA utterly inconsistent win
possibilities, even If kcpler's original suggestion be
overlooked.

Tic Horses Rack.

The first thing, says the
Michigan Farmer, to notice in
Judging a horse, SO far as his
back is concerned, is the length
of it. A long back is weak
back, the world over, and in
every instance. By superior
excellence of structure in other
respects, the weakness of the
back may, in some measure, be
made up, but the horse can new
er be the horse he. would have
been, had his back been short
er one. A horses back if short,
has strength, and is a sure
evice that he can carry or drag
a heavy weight asgreat distance
and not tire; neither will two or
three seasons of turf experience
break him down if he is a speedy
animal, as is the case with SO
many long-backed horses.
The Farmer observes, in re-
gard to the length of stride in
horse: at is not, in any way,
the result of the back, but the
position of the pasterns, the
slope of the shoulders and the
position of the great bones of
the hind legs. There must be
length somewhere, or else the
horse cannot stride far, but it
should be put in below and not
above. The length should be
between the shoulder joint and
he hams of the horse"

Farmers Boys.

For farmers, the country
wants the most energetic, thor
ough-going and wide-awake
boys that can be found. Hence,
if boy is blessed with that
browning concomitant which
moves the world-brains-let
him become a farmer. Brains
constitute the greatdesideratum
in agricultural science at the
present day. Fifty years ago.
muscle was the essential requi-
site. Fifty years ago farmer
was expected to perform every
manual labor of the farm by the
exercise of muscular force, while
at the present day he needs
brains more than muscle to en-
able him to manage laborsaving
tools and implements with skill
and efficiency. When the 1abors
of the farm were nearly all per-
formed by the laborious and
and fatiguing application of hui
man force, farming was irk-
some drudgery. But now, when
teams and steam power respond
to the bidding of the .tiller of
the soil, agriculture is the most
agreeable pursuit one can de-
sire. True, at some seasons of
the year farmers are required
to labor early and late for sew
eral days. Then, again, per-
haps for weeks. they will have
easy times.-DDigo Rnyuk.

no community or country ever
Rrospered if agriculture was
neglected or Suffered to decline,
The science which underlie the
arts, of agriculture and feeF
ture, ought to be taught in our
common schools; and we have
butlittle doubt that, in the not
fraoff time, thi snceded improve
ment will be made in the sys-
tenn of common school educa-
ton, in this our beloved land.
Among all the industries of
life, none require more thought
or patient investigation and
persistent toll, than agriculture.
The care and study of grains,
grass and domestic economy;
the managementof animals, their
breeds, uses and advantages;
the preparing and marketing of
crops; the disposal of surplus
herds and flocks; the. education
of families and the identifying
of homes-all demand attention
and employ most earnest and
serious thought. By diligence
industry and perseverance the
coy goddess, Nature, is won
fields whiten to harvest, orch
ards bend under rich burdens
andvines yield their purple clus-
ters."

euestion for Farmers.

No farmer is in a position to
act intelligently in the pursuit of
his business, unleess he can
answer such questions as these:
How do l stand with the world?
What am | WORTH. What are
my liabilities? When and how
must these liabilities be. met?
What part of my property is
productive? What kinds of
potatoes and other produce
have been most profitable, and
how much per acre, in dollars
and cents, will Fife or Russian
wheat bring me more than some
other kinde VIII it pay me
best to raise Berkshires, or Stuff
ok, or Poland China, or some
common breed of hogs? How
much has the making of butter
and cheese cost me, how much
have they brought me inP
Many farmers can make
shrewd guesses in answer to
such questions, but cannot give
the figures to support their as
sertion-and such guesses are
frequently very far from accur-
ate. As result, serious losses
occur from a continuance in a
course which the farmer thinks
to be profitable.
Now, for the remedy. Let
every farmer keep a set of ac-
count books. What we mean
is this: that every farmer may,
recording all his business tran
saction one or two inexpensive
books would answer the purpose
make it posi- Die for him to ans
wer such question rs those sug-
gested above, and thus place
himself in position to carry
on his business intelligently and
profitably.

foster On Potat5

iSSlSt lAlS polsilO
giving low tariffs, it is ~
that they will derive nearly
much revenue from potatoes as
from cotton, and that a season
ofthe year when they could-not
utilize their rolling stock for
any other purpose. The larger
portion of the cotton shipped
from here goes to Clinton and
Galveston, comparatively a
short distance. The. potatoes
have, of course, to be shipped
northward, giving the railroad
much more to do. If however,
they insist upon a prohibitory
tariff it will resultin the destruc-
ton of an important industry,
which would be mutually bene-
fetal to both the people of this
county and the railroad COM
panies.
Should the railroads give liv-
ing rates of freight, and the
present crop of potatoes prove
a paying one, the business will
be doubled, perhaps tripled,
next year.

North Carolina. is the marked interest
being awakened with respect To tie
Normal schools, or practical teaching Of
me teachers. Reports from both Trini-

II is thought there will be nearly 40
pupils in attendance upon the State
school. The programme Of instruction
is excellent. Professors Ladd, Owens,
McIser, Tomlinson, Hotchkiss, w Wilson,
Winston. Noble, Page, and others, will
conduct their several specialties in
learning. Pref. Kerr viii lecture on
Geology. Heads Of families, wishing to
