Stable Manure the Stand By.

The constantly increasing use of com
mcrcial or chemical manure in this country
is an indication of progress in agriculture;
but it is we'll to do things with moderation,
and to hold fast the old that is proved while
accepting and utilizing to our best adyan-
tago the good things that arc new. Prom
inent among tho old that should not be neg.
lected, is stable manure, not only it's use,
but also its careful manufacture; wo should
not merely utilize what wo cannot holp
making, but we should mako as much of it
as wo can profitably. 1t will, of course,
not pay to keep animals solo)y as machines
for working hay, straw and roots over into
manure, and then to sell them at loss, but
wbilo vicisstudes of tho local markots may
occasionally reduce tho price of stock to so
low point as to produce this result, wo do
not think that any far-mindcd farmer will
contend that as q general thing he cannot
sell we'll fatted beeve, or good heifor; or
sturdy brace of steers that he has raised
for moro than !hoir cost. If he has fed
them poorly and they arc lean an scrawny,
he may not find buyers; If l,o has fod thom
we'll, sombody will take thou at paying
price; and tho moro libcrully they aro fed,
tho better their manure. And whom the
farmer has this manure ho knows just what
it is good for, and what hc can do with it,
if he has had an ordinary amount of expo,
ricnco to guide him in his business; and it
is of all manurcs tho least likely to give
him tho go-by, with plea that tho season
vas unfavorablc for its work.
Used properly, as every good farmer
knows how to use it, it can never do any
harm, Notwithstanding some Of the foolsh
noss that is occasionally acon in tho papers
about tho matter. in an article which has
lately como under our notice VIC arc treated
to 6oyoral assertio' tho bad effect of

stable manure on tho quality of certain
crops for which VIC believe there is very
slight foundation, if any at all; aud whom
there are not assertions as to harm that has
been done, there are suggestions, supplied
by tho writer's fertile imagination, Of
creator harm that may DO done. 1t is
asserted that vegetables arc moro watory,
and otherwise of poorer quality, whom
manurcd with stable manure than when
chemical mantres are used--tbat pigs
dubg imparts flavor of its own to roots
and to tobacco; aud it is suggested Chat the
deoaying animal matter of this manure may
cause disease in animals that feed of grass
produced with its aid. Farmers should
learn by practice how to make profitable use
Of chemical fertilizers; but they should not
bo led by any such wild statements and
hints Of these to give up stable manure; it
is, aftor all, tho staple feeder of tho crops
as any long settled country, and in tho
present condition of things the human pop.
ulation Of the world cannot be fed and
clothed without its assistance

Advantages Of Fancy Farming,

The Scientific Farmer has a very sensi.
bio article on the advantages to rural
neighborhood, of having merchants ond
other we'll to do city people purchase homes
in their midst. These people, says the
writer, buy suburban o. more remote
farm, bring to it Of their wealth, remodel
the old house or build anew, tear :down or
improve tho old barns, and build from de-
signs Of city architect, who understands
more of harmonies than uses, stock with
improved breeds Of cattle, tho latest style
of Implements in endless variety, and the
most expensive novelties from the seed
stores, and spend, perhaps without hope,
certainly without prospect, of adequate
returns. Wherever fancy farms abound,
there may be abserved continuous improve.
mcnt in their vicinity. They s,rvc to
change the habits of life of the farmer and
his family. The old iuconvonont methods
OF farming give place to more convenient
system. Tho water from the well is
brought to the house, instead of being
fetched in pail from the distant well or
spring; tho wood plo is placed undor shed
or in compact pile instead of being heapcd
in tho dooryard; the surroundings to tho
buildings are ''slickcd up" flowers appear,
perhaps, in tho dooryard; tho oattIo are
better fed, the fences better repaired, new
crops and new drops and new markets aro
sought, and expenditures are increased as
tho income grows larger and is derived
from moro varied sources All this comes
from the influence of tho example of the
finely but expensively maintained farm,
whereon mother expense nor income is
much considered, and which, judged from
business stand point, must be consid.
cred failure; judged from inau-
cnces on others, is to be looked upon as
public bcncfaction.
There is too prevalent feeling of joal
ously towards the fancy farmer on the part
OF the actual farmer, aud too little appreoi-
ation of the benefits which may be and aro
derived from his presence. 1t is to this
leisure class of farmers that agriculture
must look for that progress which results
from unrest, abundance of means, and o
strong enthusiasm towards pursuit. This
man can experiment, when tho poorer mau
cannot afford to depart from tho beaten rut
until better results from departure be-
come demonstrated. This class encourage
inventors and dealers by furnishing oppor.
tunities for tho trial of new things which
promise woll, and whom through costly
failure an improvement is secured, tho
working farmer can secure tho perfect
article. This class import foreign cattle
and test their adaptation to our needs.
They introduce now fruits add improved
vegetables, which, if found deserving, soon
find distribution throughout the neighbor :

benefits, contribute largely, through taxa

this way tho burdens on others.

The Treatment Of NEURALGIA.

Aconite is an old remedy u neuralgia,
which has, however, not altogether realized
tho expectations which were form cd of it's
value. The power which it often lacks has
been lately claimed for its alkaloid by Prof
Gubler, who ennounced that aconitia is
almost infallible in trigeminal neuralgia.
Tho substance was long banished from the
materia medioa for internal use, but it has
been employed occasionally since tho dis
oovery Of q crystallzed form by Grehaul
and Duquesnel in 1871. It's value 10 ncu.
ralgia has lately been investigated BY the
New York Committee on Neurotics, of
which DR.. Il. q. Seguiu is tho chairman.
Tho dose of all forms of aoonita is about
the same, tho initial dose being about half
milligrammc (l-l30 grain) twice or thrice
q day. Gublcr states that tho dose of am or. /.
phous aconitia may bo gradually raised to
half eentigramme, but Duqucsnel's prepa.
ration has to be given with greater caution.
There are, however, differences in suscepti.
bility, and somo persons cannot boar o
larger dose than 1900 Of q grain; while
| one case was met with in which S4 of o
grain every three hours was tolerated.
From trial of tho treatmeut in. series
of cases, the committee conclude that on
the average, distinct physiological and the.
rapeutionl effects may bc obtained by giving
l.l00 of grain threo times day. OF
six cases of severe trigominal neuralgia,
one, probably reflex of neuralgia from a
decaycd tooth, was not at all benefited
Three cases of cpilcptiform neuralgia were
| slightly or only temporarily relieved Two
cases were cured. One of these had OK :.
istcd for soven years, with an interruption
OF sovon months, procured by rcseotion of
the affected norve. The results thus afford
partial support to M. Gubler's assertion
The value of ammoniacal sulphatc of
copper in tho treatment of the same uffec
ton has been asserted by NJ. Fereol in a
| recent communication to tho Academic dc
Mcdeoino. He states that in cases in
which every treatment has failed, evon tho
administration of gelseminum and Of aooni.

obtained to tho most severe symptoms by
this drug. Among the examples ho gayc
of its use was tho following: Trifacial ncu.

extraction of tooth, quinine, bromide,

From the first day of the administration of
amonia sulphatc of copper there was q
notable remission in the symptoms and
cessation of insomnia. In ono case the
dose was pushed to eight grains without
! any other accident than musca. 1t has tho

The University Of South Caro
lima.

At tho lato meeting of the Trustees of
this Institution an invitation was extended
TO tho Presidents of the other colleges in tho
State to meet with tho University Board
in September next, in order tirat they
might havo an interchange of opinion before
tho Trustees mako their recommendations
to the Legislature This is rathor difficult
probicu; for our people to solve. We hopo
such solution may be reached as shall
rebound to tho highest interests Of all the
people. If there were no University build
ings already built, and large and valuable
library already collected and paid for, no
one would at this time, offer bill in the
next Legislature to appropriate money
enough to establish q University. But the
buildings arc here, and in possession of the
State. Now whether it is wise or unwiso,
to demand from tho people large annual
appropriation to keep up this Institution
just because tho buildings arc there, tho
future alono will reveal. Good men and
true are found on both sides Of this ques.
ton.
Ifa college is established with tho ordi-
nary curriculum about six professors will
be required at tho cost of $4,000 year.
If University proper is established, 30
that only graduates from other colleges, or
young mon Of considerable attainments, are
admitted, then the local patronage would
be out of to considerable extent. If u
mongrel affair is contemplated, 80 that tho
fifteen year old boy from tho village academy
and the graduate from college may moct

which this State cannot givo. There arc

EXTENDING TIE WHEAT CULTURE
SoUTl.--Thc Macon Telegraph announces
that for tho first timo in tho history of
Georgia tho local mills find wheat in suffii
cient abundance to run thom without draw.
ing supplies Of wheat from tho North.
Thorc arc undoubtedly parts of Central
Georgia whore wheat can bc grown to per-
fcction, for there the soil is q stiff clay oam
and is rich in tho clomonts that wheat
requires. But cvon upon the sandy soils Of
that State is appears that good wheat crops
can be raised by the application Of fertili-
zcrs, and if care be taken ih tho tillago.
1t seems to bo remarkable thing that in
such soils wheat should DO grown, as tho
1etcyraph states, rs for South in Georgia
as tho Florida limo. This success has been
achieved by the use of tho drill. Nor is,
it only in Georgia that tho cultivation of
wheat is extending. In Northwestern SOUTH
Carolina tho Germans buve demonstrated
that exoolent crops of both wheat and rye
can bo raised by deep drilling and manuriug:
with tho waste of the barnyard, compostcd'
with muck and pine skaters. The seed is'
drilled in bunolics, tho drills being suffis
oiently wide apart to admit Of running o.
narrow oultiyator between. After whilo
tho wheat tillirs and covers the wnolo
ground. Three crops Of rye for forage are
cut there by tho Germans in ono season.
