Cleveland Herald: "Mauy of our farmers
are blowing up their cotton and planting
corn. The cotton crop in Bradley is a failure
beyond doubt"
Bristol Courier: Contrary TO the predic-
tioHs of croakers the wheat crop is good
one. Oats are holding out finely. Corn con-
tinuest grow, in spite of cold weather"
Gallatin Examiner: "And now the voice
of the reaper is in the land, making glad the
heart of the farmer. The modern binder
leaves no employment for cleaning Ruths.
BosZ gets all"
Chattanooga Times: ''Some farmers are
running burrows six feet apart crosswise the
cotton rows and planting corn or peas. This
leaves the cotton for a last chance, and is
said to make fine corn"
Henderson Herald: sThe wheat crop in
these parts is the best we have had for years,
and oats are more than good. Corn is be-
ginning to wake up and act like it meant
business. Cotton, what little there is left,
looks like the smallest pig OF the litter, with
a very bad case OF the mango"
Columbia Herald: "Our Third district
correspondent writes: The wheat crop in
our section bids fair for an abundant yield
The oat crop will also be splendid Corn
looks well, considering the cool weather and
abundant rain, which we have had during
the past month. The cotton crop Will be
complete failure. Corn and bacon are
scarce articles IN our section. Farmers lost
the most of their hogs during last spring.
.........T The Sawdust Valley correspondent
says the farmers are in fiue spirits. Wheat is
sne; some harvested. Corn looks we'll. Cot
ton is not doing SO we'll, and but small
crop is planted. Meadows splendid. Stock
looks better than could be expected"
Ripley Netes: "The Knob Creek CORE
spondent writes: There are but four bales of
cotton in our neighborhood unsold. The
acreage of cotton wall be less this year than
last. That of corn will be increased to small
extent. The stand OF cotton is bad. Labor
has increased to come extent. Oar wheat
crop is large and the yield will be fne.' 49,.
The Brush Branch correspondent says: we
have no cotton on hand. There is twenty
per cent. more cotton planted this year than
last. There is thirty per cent. more corn
planted. The acreage in wheat is ninety per
cent. greater this year than it was last year.
The stands of corn and cotton are both good;
the latter is looking much better after being
worked. The average yield in wheat will be
about fifteen bushels per acre; some fields
will reach twenty-five bushels. The oat crop
is large and will make good turnout. The
fruit crop is abundant, never better. Labor
il plentiful and under control. The loss of
our hog crop is general"

had come to reverse this policy? In 1890
we will be nation of over 60,000,000 peo-

among the nations of the earth. Were we
to discuss foreign politics more, it would
elevate the tone of our domestic discus.

which America could have its say about
We might help bring about universal

cable companies might be purchased and
their management committed to an inter-
national commission. Indeed, there are a
thousand ways in which our influence
might be felt beneiclally without taking
up arms or being mixed up in the quarrels
of rival nations. Some day we will have

understand his epoch, and then will the

Weeds.-How shall we kill weeds and
rid the soil OF the species A very simple
matter, indeed, il we should use the same
common sense shown in other things
Will field of corn, oats or wheat, or hill
of squashes or melons, produce good seed
il cut close to the ground just MS the flow
ers are forming? Every annual plant or
weed we know of will surely die il cut at
the surface just before it blooms. Cut n
little higher, above the portion of the
leaves, and life may be continued till new
sprouts come out, which, in time may pro-
duce seeds. In ordinary cultivation we are
quite apt to keep root and top together
and 10 let portion of the root remain in
contact with moist earth. Weeds treated
III this way do not make 70 handsome
growth, but they will continne the species
quite well enough. A young plant, buried
root and branch in the soil to II good
depth, will surely die. 1t must have air,
warmth and sunlight. Ordinary culliva-
ton early in the season kills the lnrger
part OF the weeds in field, and if cnlliva-
ton were frequent enough and thorough,
1t will kill everything that grows from the
ground. In n season moist enough tu
sprout seeds it takes but very few weeks
to rid field almost absolutely of boll,
weeds and weed seeds. plough, harrow
and roller are all the tools needed. Plough
to bring up the seeds from the under soil
and harrow just as often as n crop OF seeds
starts, rolling the gronnd each time to
compact the soil, that other seed may
germinale. A dry season is not half SC
good as wet one for illing weeds by this
method, Almost all our door yards and
barn yards are nurseries Of weeds, from
which continual streams are flowing unob
served to other parts Of the farm.

The Wool Trade .

The last number of Bradstreet's says OF
the wool trade: Eastern wool markets
have exhibited no decided activity during
the past week. There is fuir buisness
doing, however, and the outlook is, If any
thing more encouraging than last week.
Prices are necessarily firm, as supplies can
not be laid down from any point in the
interior TO sell below current quotations.
Receipts are increasing, but are generally
backward, as compared with last year.
Buying has commenced in Ohio and other
fine wool sections, but is not active, owing
to the extreme views of growers. Dealers
as general thing had fixed upon Soc
as fair opening rate for average good
wool, and it is probable that 2Sc. would
have been paid with little reluctance, but
latest advices show the farmers are in no
hurry to accept business on this basis,
and are generally holding firm at 40c.
which, with costs and commissions added,
could not be realized day in eastern
markets. A moderate business is being
done NJ this rate, but unless prices i'm
prove on the seaboard the majority of
operators will be inclined TO hold off,"

The Survival Of the Fittest.

In speaking of the death of Charles
Darwin, Demorest's Monthly says: He
was confessedly in the very front rank Of
the notable men of the nineteenth century.
His contributions to the.scienlific thought
of his day profoundly influenced the fore
most minds of the age. 1t was he who
formulated ina popular as well as scien
tiic way, the theory that man descended
from some inferior animal, whose ancestry
again could be traced TO a still lower form
of life, Haeckel, Darwin's most noted
German disciple, goes so far as TO trace all
life back to some "protist" generated by
electrical or chemical agency acting upon
the slime at the bottom of the ocean.
Taking the fact of the struggle for life
throughout animated creation, Darwin
found that only the fit survive, that is TO
say, of the myriads Of individuals Of each
race born, very few survive when adapt
ell TO Their surroundings. These give birth
to other individuals like themselves, and 30
race characteristics are developed. Dar-
win gives thousand Of instances Of the won
derful changes wrought by outside condi-
tions upon the animal creation His views
have been very generally accepted by the
scientific world, and they are profoundly
modifying nj the institutions and beliefs
of mankind. But all his conclusions have
not been verified by any means. There
are many missing links in his theory OF
the chain which connects man with the
lower animals, and these again with the
first forms Of life on the globe. Darwin
was born in 1909, and both his father and
gra ndfather were scientists. Indeed the
family have contributed great deal II
the study OF nature, and were remarkable
for their longevity and their intelligence
