Cascade one afternoon in June, that cost

CHLORAL.

DIR. Richardson, of England who first intro
duced hydrate Of chloral into the medical prac-
tice of that country utters words of warning
in the Contemporary Reuiew against its common
use. He says, what will be the news to many
readers, that ancient physicians had q similar
narcotic to produce sleep and painlessness in
surgical operations. 1t was prepared from the:
roots and leaves Of mandragora and called the
wines of "inorion." 1t caused sleep lasting
for hours, and was soon perverted from its bene-
ficent use to purposes of intoXication like alco-
hol and opium.
DR.. Richardson warns the pnblic against o
similar use of choral. He fears that its evils
as toxcant will far outweigh its benefits as o
medicine. 1t is rapidly making victims in all
parts Of the kingdom. He thinks that opium is
falling into disuse, and the number of those
subject to its influence is much smaller than is
commonly supposed. But choral is taking its
place, and working untold harm. Under it

has never known q case in his professional prac-

DISTRIBUTION OF FIsH.-Col. Butler, the COM
missioner Of agriculture, has just had twelve
thousand California salmon placed in the streams
along the Air Line Railroad as follows:
Enoree River. .........-....... 1000
Little River and Messy Creek. 600
Martins Creek three miles from Sineca
CITY.
In few days another shipment will be made
to othes streams in the State. The above fish
were obtained from spawn ordered by the COM
| missioner in October last. The spawn were
| shipped from McCloud River, California, and
were hatched at Magnolia North, Carolina. In
the transfer and distribution not more than fifty
deaths occurred out Of the $4,000. These fish
will return in three years to these same streams
| to spawn, In This connection we would impress
on the public the importance Of observing the
laws made for the protection of fish. Fish sluices
should be made and kept open IN every dam
| across any stream in the Stale. To this end Col.
Butler is daily making his appointments of fish
| wardens, of whom there are to be two in each
county in the Stnte. The commissioner has also
ordered a shipment ofthe spawn Of the handbook
ed salmon, to DO Matched at Morgauton by Mr.
Is. G. Worth, and they will be ready for distri
button at an early day, provided the weather
turns colder. This warm weather is very un

VALUE AND CULTIVATION OF THE OAT
CRop.-My experience in oats raising is
quite limited and my success confined
mainly to my 5 acre patch in Schley county,
aad that was due in a great measure, to a
thorough breaking of a very fertile soil,
highly manured, and favorable seasons.
"Deepness Of earth," We are taught in
the parable of the farmer who went forth
to SOW, is essential in raising good crop;
this we get by breaking up deeply, thus
enabling the land to absorb and retain
moisture, and at the same time releasing
the plant food locked up in the substrata
for use Of the growing crop. would then
say, break up deeply and thoroughly and
manure as highly as practicable, with cot
ton seed, using from 20 to so bushels per
about the last of Oct. to Dec. /. Sow good
seed of a rust proof variety at the rate of
from one to four bus. per acre On land
that will make 100 bushels per acre,
should say bushels would be best don't
know what else | could say about oat rails
ing; and will therefore consume a little
space about them as forage for stock.
My experience is that mules do better
on oats during the summer months than on
corn and fodder. 1t is not necessary they
should have any corn at all they will look
better and work equally as well on an ex-
elusive diet Of oats as on corn and fodder.
And oats are much cheaper, costing less to
produce them, exhausting land less and are
equally as "certain" a crop as corn. Be-
sides, the land can, after the oats are har.
vested, be planted in cotton, or what is
much better in peas and turned under
with lime in the winter. BY all means re.
sort to oats, and then peas and lime. After
harvesting my oat, last year on my 5 acre
patch, planted it in peas, and in Decem.
Der last turned the wires under and some
800fbs, lime to the acre. | couldn't turn
the vines under until they died and were
partially decayed. This year my son used
/ 900 lbs dissolved bono and 80 bushels
cotton seed broadcast per acre, and planted
the patch in cotton; but the dry weather
materially injured the crop so that il is a
failure and he will not get over bale oi
cotton per acre. 1t lacked "decpness oil
earth," think, and should have been brok
en- up, not less than eighteen inches. The
cotton grew very rapidly and, of course, ex
hausted the moisture in the same ratio, Sc
that it obtained all the growth il got during
the dry weather, and it has grown non,
since and at this writing the stalks ART
bent down with bolls, the bolls fully grow
to the top Of the stalk. think it as ncces
sary that farmers should tell their failure
: as their successes. j. Il. RESPASS.
