The Legislature.

This body has Il great many bills
Oh the calendar which, if taken up,
will prevent an adjournment before
the holidays. Most of them, how
ever, are OF local and of minor i'm
Eor,ance, and it is to be hoped, in
view Of the fact that law making
costs the people about $1,000 day,
that many"i hem will be passed over
for the sake Of shnlt session and
economy. There are, however, some
important matters, that must be ar
ranged III consequence Of their public
importance.
Thc ssi;ati1,g question OF the pub
lie debt has Lecn practically settled
by Mr.. Ficken's bill appointing Mr.
James G. Colt, Spccial State Com
missioner TO examine into the STA e
debt, and eliminate all declared in
valid by the Supreme Court.
The Columbia canal bill which we
mentioned in our last issue, has
passed the House and will 60 through
the Senate; and the Charleston canal
bil which provides for the cuttin. Of
a canal through Charleston Neck
uniting the Cooper and Ashley rivers
is now before the House.
A general registration law will
come up. One bill is proposed by
MIR. Ficken of Charleston, an
another Ly MIR. Dargan Of Sumter.
TO the latter is attached Slight edu
cational qualification. There is,
however, evident apathy on this
subject, and it is difficult 10 say what
vii he done.
y caucus on Monday night decided
to repeal the two box law which was
passed for the purpose Of having the
votes foi Federal and State Officers
in separate rooms and boxes.
"A bill to establish Bureau of
Agriculture, similar to that in the
State Of Georgia anl other States,
has passed its second reading Ii is

$500 on phosphate manufacturers.
y bill for the establishment of an
Agricultural College at Columbia on
the grounds Of the State University,
similar to the one alrealy main
taiEed at Oranseburg for the coored
students, has received the sanction of
the Committee on Education, and
will probably pass.
1t is IL shame that $191 800 from,
The sale of land scrip, intended for
educational purposes, have been di
vcrtcd and lost to the State by the
Radical Financial Agent kimpton.-
The bill to allow towns and cities

presses views shared, we are satisfied
by very few outside Of the author.
The folly of such departures; merely
to nppease Northern sentiment, finds
fresh and living illustration in the
Horace Greeley farce of ~, which
has given the Democracy back set
from which il has not even jet i'llIy
recovered. And its criminulity con.
sists in the abandonment of the funda
mcutal principles Of the party.
Democracy means the supremacy Of
the Constitution and of the civil over
the military authority, and Grantism
means exactly the reverse. To nc
cept Grant therefore is simply to
give up the battle, and join the Re
publican party. We know that Col
heitt does not mean anything Of this

SEASONABLE HINTS.

After trying for number of years, al
most in vain, to raise good celery on ordinary
dry garden soil finally borrowed the use OF
little patch of reclaimed swamp land-deep
black muck, we'll drained but moist, and for
the two past seasons have grown on it very
fine celery with but little labor. So shall
never again attempt to grow this vegetable
on common garden soil without some cheap
and easy method of irrigation.
WASH FOR GRAPES. at
1t is the belief of observing ones that the
seeds or spores of mildew exist during the
Winter and Spring on the bark and buds OF
vines, ready to vegetate anew when suitable
weather occurs in Summer As possible
check to this, 1 am about to wash most of my
vines-before the buds open-with carbolic
soap suds. l think this will also tend to
lessen the mischievous work of the steel beetle
on the buds.-M. B. B., in the Ohio Farmer.
SUPPORT FOR RAsPBERRIEs.
am also using grape wire as support tor
raspberry bushes, setting strong stakes in
the row of bushes, say twenty feet apart and
about three feet high, according to the aver
age growth of the bushes Fasten the wire
bv turn around the end stake, and by a
clinch nail bent over it on the top Of each
stake in the row-the stakes being Of uni
form height, and cut squarely at top. Two
persons can put up such support very rapid
| ly. The canes or bushes need but little tying
to the wire, as those which are sloping to the
right or left only need to have their tops
pushed under the wire so that they will press
against it on the side opposite to their natu.
raj inclination. Those which are bending in
the direction of the line Of wire Of course
need to be tied.
REMEDIES FOR THE CABBAGE WORM.
have tried most of these that have been
given in the papers, but have found none Of
them both efficient and easy Of application
I have had the best success with hot water
but it requires some care to have the water
hot enough to kill the, worms and not hurt
the cabbage. I have found one hundred
and sixty degrees of the thermometer efficient
and safe if rightly applied, through sprink'
Hing waterproof, and not continued too long
nor so as to have the hot water lodge in the
heart of the plant. IF it is cooler than one
hundred and sixty many of the older larva
will not mind it-as their skin sheds water
like ducks back. l have tried adding tc
the water little coal oil, also carbonic acid
SALT etc., but none were quite effective owing
to the difficulty of wetting the skins Of the
pests. Occasionally have found them moist
with dew, so that the powdered hellebore OF
black pepper busted over them would stop
their mischief. Who has found satisfactory
| remedy ?

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
In speaking Of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults, and who has not?
The old as well as the young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
Pn tell you of better plan,
And find IL works full well;
To try my own defects to cure
Before ofothers tell
And though hope sometimes to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults Of others 60.
Then let us all when we commence
To slander friend or foe;
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember curses, som metimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at homer
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

STABLE MANURE THE STANDBY.

The constantly increasing use Of CONNER.
cial or chemical manure in this country is an
indication of progress in agriculture; but ii
is well to do things with moderation, and to
hold fast the old that is proved, while accept.
Jog and utilizing to our best advantage the
good things that are new. Prominent among
the old that should not be neglected, is stable
manure, not only its use, but also its careful
manufacture; we should not merely utilize
what we cannot help making, but we should
make as much of it as we can pro6tably. 1t
will, Of course, not pay to keep animals sole.
ly as machines for working hay, straw and
roots over into manure, and then to sell them
at loss; but while the vicissitudes of the
local markets may occasionally reduce the
price of stock to so low point as to produce
this result, we do not think that any fair
minded farmer will contend that as general
thing he cannot sell well.fatted beeve, or a
good heifer, or sturdy brace of steers that
he has raised for more than their cost fhe
has fed them poorly and they are lean and
scrawny, he may not find buyers; if he has
fed them we'll, somebody will take them at a
paying price; and the more literally they
are fed, the better their manure. And when
the farmer has this manure he knows just
what it is good for, and what he can do with
it, if he has had any ordinary amount Of ex-
perience to guide him in his business and it
is of all manures the least likely to give him
the go.by, with the plea that the season was
unfavorable for its work. 49, :..-..
Used properly, as every good farmer knows
how to use it, it can never do any harm, not
withstanding some of the foolishness that is
occasionally seen in the papers; about the
natter In an article which has lately come
under our notice we are treated to several as
sertions as to the bad effect of stable manure
on the quality of certain crops for which we
believe there is very slight foundation, if any
at all and when there are not assertions as
to harm that has been done, there are sug;
gestions, supplied by the writer's fertile imag-
ination, of greater harm that may be done
1t is asserted that vegetables are more watery,
and otherwise of poorer quality, when ma.
nured with stable manure than when chemi-
cal manures are used-that pigs dung i'm.
parts flavor of its own to roots and to to-
bacco; and it is suggested that the decaying
animal matter of this manure may cause dis.
ease in animals that feed of grass produced
with its aid. Farmers should learn by prac-
tice how to make profitable use of chemical
fertilizers; but they should not be led by any
such wild statements and hints of these to
give up stable manure; it is, after all, the
staple feeder of the crops as any long.settled
country, and in the present condition of
things the human population of the world
cannot be fed and clothed without its assist

How SHORT SHALL We Cur GRASS p
There was true economy in the advice Of the
farmer who recommended that the lower Joint
of grass be left in the field for the old brindle
COW, rather than be cut and cured for her.
He was one of the numerous army of mowers
who had learned that there was nothing gained
by cutting too close.
The testimony with respect to the height
from the ground at which it is best to cut
grass is conflicting and tends to confuse and
oftentimes mislead novice in the bayfield,
Cultivators vary in practice from one-hali
inch or as close as possible, to four inches.
The general tendency is, however, to cut close,
and many fine meadows have been seriously
injured thereby.
Close observation has taught that timothy
cannot be cut low, in dry weather especially,
without inficting injury. All attempts at
close shaving the sward should be avoided.
Many of our most successful farmers cut tim.
othv nearly or quite four inches from the
ground Others in gauging moving machines
for this grass take care to run them so high
that it will not be cut below the second joint
above the tuber.
Close moving of upland meadows ought to
be avoided, as the action of the hot sun and
dry weather following the harvest affects the
roots of the grass unfavorably when left with.
out some protection: On the other hand low,
wet moving grounds will bear cutting as close
as possible; these are benefited by the infu-
ences which would dry and burn up an up.
land meadow. Where the practice is followed
of top-dressing Immediately after taking off
the grass, the moving may be done low and
a smooth surface left to cut over the next
time.
Generally speaking, grasses cut two inches
high will start quicker and thrive better than
when shaved close to the ground. The finer
grasses, when the season is not very dry one,
can be cut lower with safety than the coarser
sorts.
