1t is said that while Rev. James

boys as Jim keenc, was resident OF
the Pacific coast, a rOugh-lookiDg speci-
men of the California farmer burst in
upon him one day with:
''Say, Kurnel, my wife has got a
brand-new baby, and we've named IL

Yes" slowly answered the rever.
end gentleman, as he passed over q
twenty-dollar gold-p:ece. H si
In about an hour another man from
the samsneighborhOod entered with the
salutation:
Say, Keene, what do you think?
We have built church up our way and
named if the Jim Keene chapel. Can't

Thirty minutes had scarcely passed
when in came a third man with:

building a school-house over the creek
to be called the Jim Keene school.
Want to contribute a few?''
yes" was the reply, and FIVE dol

1t wasn't over twenty minutes be-

out:

II i easy TO perceive why bees can
not thrive well on a sheep pasture
Sheep eat everything down very close

lower upon which bees can snbsist.
There Is no other reason for the popu-
lar belief that sheep and bees viii not
thrive together. The bees viii not hurt
the sheep In any way. but the sheep

The New South.

The rehabilitation of the south is
now being accomplished, and moth
ing is more gratifying to the mind
of the genuine friend of this coun-
try than this assurance. The past
season has been most suspicious,
and the southern states are now in
condition of unprecedented pros
perity. Rich in soil, blessed in eli
mate, grand in internal advantages,
nothing has been wanting but mills
and workshops to utilize the vast
internal wealth. But it takes cap
ital to plant and move such manu-
featuring interests, and money only
will continue to put these new in
dustries in full and successful oper-
alton
Within two years, more than a
hundred millions of northern capt
tai has been invested in the south
ern states, and that is now forming
a very lasting chain, specially
adapted to binding together the
hearts of men, by binding in one
their seemingly diversified interests.
A new south-a manufacturing
kingdom-will be the result, and
what is grown here will be
placed upon the ma ket as manu-
featured fabric, and every profit
connected Herewith viii be retained
at home. The next five years viii
show a greater addition to the wealth
of the south than has any previous
twenty, and the best outcome will
be wealth of harmony, which in
eyitably accompanies a union OF in
tereste.

The Man and the Land.

1t has been said that there is
more in the man than in the land,
and the Waycross (Ga. Reporter
proposes to show that this rule can
be applied as well to the negro
farmer. 1t offers this example for
consideration:
"Dick Dye, a colored man, living
on Mr.. McTharin's place, five miles
from Blackshear, has made this year
between twenty-five and thirty bales
Of cotton, of 500 pounds average, on
a two-horse farm, together with $50
bushels of corn, and large crops of
sugar cane and potatoes. To sum
up the years labor, we will state:
Dick rented the place from Mr..
McTharin in January, and pur-
chased from the owner two mares at
800 each, all of the necessary tools
and provisions, he having nothing
whatever, in other words, was not
worth a dollar. The necessary out
lay amounted to 500. He agreed to
pay twelve bales of cotton for the
rent of the place. He has paid his
rent and all advances, and is now
the owner of the stock, farming i'm
plements, corn, potatoes, cotton
seed, and will have enough ready
cash to run him for another year
without going in debt for anything,
proving that though his rents were

Economy On the Farm.

On the farm, and in all details of
rural and domestic life, prudence
and a just economy of time and
means are incumbent in an eminent
degree. The earth itself is COM
posed of atoms, and the most gil
gantic fortunes consist of aggre-
gated items, insignificant in them
selves, individually considered, but
majestic when contemplated in unity
and as q whole. In the manage
ment Of farm, all needless expen-
diture should be systematically
avoided, and the income name to
exceed the outlay as far as possible.
Pecuniary embarrassment should
always be regarded as a contin-
gency of evil boding, and if con-
tended against with energy and
persevering fortitude, it must be
soon overcome. Debt, with but
little hope of cts removal, is a mill
stone dragging US down and crush
ing the life blood out Of us. Be
careful, therefore, in incuring any
pecuniary liability which does not
present a clear deliverance with the
advantages which a wise use of it
ought always to insure.
A farmer who purchases a good
farm and can pay down one third of
the price of it, gives a mortgage on
the other two thirds, and possesses
the heart and resolution to work it
faithfully and well, enters upon the
true path to success. He will labor
with the encouraging knowledge
that each days labor will lessen his
Indebtedness and bring him nearer
to the goal where he shall be Olsen
thralled and become freebooter in
its most cheerful sense. But with
out due economy in every depart
ment, in the dwelling as well as in
the barns and fields; this gratifying
achievement may not be reached
until late in life, or may be in
definitely postponed. A prudent
oversight, therefore, over all the
operations of the farm, in order
that everything may be done that
ought to be done and nothing
wasted, will exert a powerful in
fiuence in placing family on the
high-road to an early independence.

chattel MORTGAGES.

The chattel mortgage system
does not work well among the
North Carolinians, and one OF, them
thus pours. forth his lament through
the columns of the Goldsboro N.
CO. Messenger: "The system of
chattel mortgage as it now pre-
walls and is practieed, ia beginning
to be one of uncomfortable hardship
on the farmer. The idea seems to
prevail that it is benefit to the
poor man; this is a great mistake,
and if he viii reflect one moment
he will see, if he has not already re-
allied, that tits curse bringing ruin
and desolatiod in the end TO him
who follows it up for any length of
time. In this section, L do not
think 1 would exagerate if 1 were
to estimate that at least three -fifths
of the farmers depend upon advan
ces under chattel mortgages to run
their farms. These, in the first
place, have to pay an advance price
on their supplies, in consideration
of the time extended. This is usu-
ally from ten to twenty per cent.
Then they pay int. est on the note
from date ii maturity. Ifnot paid
at maturity the mortgage seizes.
the property, thus entailtng heavy
expenses and cost, to be added to
the mortgage debt, taken all to-
gether, the difference between cash
and time price for his supplies
would aggregate from twenty-five
to thirty per cent. additional. What
business can stand it? The chattel
mortgage system is the shortest
road to financial ruin ever invented
by the ingenuity of man. Let it
be repealed. And with the chattel
mortgages let tue only remaining
obstacle TO the poor mans credit be
also renoved-the homestead.
What good does the homestead do
"a rich man? He can get credit be-
cause he has an excess. The poor
man cannot because he rarely owns
more than the amount exempted,
and must needs mortgage his home,
or go without credit. Remove the

open to the poor as well as the
rich.
In Texas the same evil being
discussed by the press. "Many
farmers, says the Austin Argus,
sail over this, and especially of the
southern states, are compelled to
borrow money year after year, or
rather mortgage their crops in adj
vance for supplies. In many in
stances they viii get no supplies
until they not only mortgage their
property, but pledge themselves to
plant certain quantity of cotton so
that-cotton being considered cash
at all times-the creditor may be
secure in his loan. OF course the
most exorbitant per centage is
charged on such supplies-enough !
to keep the poor unfortunate plan
ter in chronic poverty.
The same laws prevail in Tenn
assee. Would it not be well to
consider their repeal?

anything about it. Her aim is to

him a good wife and she generally

Starting Cat in Poultry.


1t is sometimes not easy to- decide
just how to start. But the first
thing is for the beginner to deter
mine what breed he likes best, as
what q man likes best he is apt to
do best with. No matter what
others may like, select what suits
your tastes and purposes or you
will never be satisfied.
The next thing to consider is of
whom you will purchase. 1t is not
best to start on a cheap plan. AS
general rule it is with poultry as
with other things, the cheapest is
the dearest in the end. Do not
canvass the country to order from
the man who sells at the lowest
price, but rather for the man who
sells the best stock-the best breeds
and mated so as to praduee good
specimens. It is useless to think
of going into fine poultry breeding
without expense. A man must have
his buildings and yards if he wants
to breed them pure, and if his trade
is large this is no small matter.
One thing, which many novices
lose sight of, is absolutely essential
to success-that the time and care
full attention of the person be de-
voted to the minute and seemingly
trifing details of the business. To
breed any kind of stock, person
cannot know too much about it, and
he who thinks he understands the
thing perfectly is assuredly not the
one who will meet with grand sue
cess; for, until improvement ceases,
there will always be something more
to learn.
Many ask which is the best breed
to begin with. There are many es-
tablished breeds that are prominent,
with characteristics and qualities
suited to the various requirements,
so that one need only select what he
wants, with the understanding that |
all the good qualities are not found |
in one breed, as is the case also with
other domestic live stock.-Ex.

The Evils Of the crop-tein Law

The Evils Of the Crop-Lsin Law
Confidence has tumbled to zero
the ordinary laws of buying and
selling, borrowing and lending, are
turned topsy turvy, and shackly
way of doing business has sprung
up among the farming classes that
is only exceeded in its evil eject by
the enormous rate of interest that it
has made the rule. The people
were poor to begin with. An in
terest rate Of from 20 to so per cent.
has made them poorer, and men
have not been wanting with less con-
science than money, and more de
votion to gains than anything else,
to take advantage of the necessities
of the people to make their burdens
perpetual. Perhaps the merchants
are not to blame for charging all
they can get. Surely the people are
not to blame for paying an interest
they cannot lessen. But the law
which has built up our present
credit system and made the interest
rate what it is, is to blame and
should be abolished. Its repeal
should not go into effect at once,
but should be put off till the first of
January, 1884. We are not blind
to the fact that many of our farmers
depend on the ability to mortgage
their crops for means wherewith to
live. These are entitled to con-
slderation, and should have time to
prepare for other avenues to credit.
The crops of the present year have
been abundant. No better time
than this for beginning to get ready
for the abolition of a credit system
that has made the laborer a mere
toiler for interest paYments.-S. c..
