SAVING SEEDS.

May we call attention of our far
mers, especially in our own and adj
joining counties, to the Importance Of
saving their own seeds, such as clover
and other grass seeds. Now is the
time to begin to save clover seed This
is matter of dollars and cents, and of
so much Importance our farmers should
become interested. Tennessee has
spent annually large sums of money for
seeds simply because her farmers would
not make or take care of them at home.
Tennessee is noted for its fine quality
and large yield of clover seed per acre,
and thousands of bushels might be
saved annually, both for home use and
export. But instead of making a
surplus we fail to make enough for our
own use, and send away annually
thousands OF dollars which might be
kept at home. How much longer are
we to continue this way of doing?
Have we not been "hewers Of wood and
drawers of water long enough for our
good brethren of the West? Is it not
time we were becoming more indepen-
dent and self.sustainipg at home I?
For the want of seed or the money to
purchase seed, many of our farmers
have neglected to sow grass and are
poor in consequence thereof. We
must sow more grass if we expect to
improve our lands and make farming
profitable. Show us farmer who has
three>fourths or two-thirds of his farm
in clover and other grasses and we will
show you a prosperous farmer every
time. He can not long remain other
wise than prosperous if he has plenty
of grass, When we get to making our
seed at home, then and not until then
will many of our small farmers begin
to have plenty of grass and become
really prosperous.

TEMPERANCE.

The Sparta Expositor says, DeKalb
county has not drinking saloon within
its limits. Neither has White. We
would rejoice to see the day come
when every county in the State could
not only say as much, but 60 a little
further and say of a truth that intoxi-
eating spirits are neither made nor
drank within its bounds. What a
glorious day of prosperity and happi-
ness in this country when public sem
timent and private interests may
change the minds of manufacturers
and vendors and induce them to turn
their attention to other more profitable
business. What a blessing it would
be to have removed, forever, from this
beautiful land of ours all the tempta-
tons which lead our sons, our brothers
aud our fathers into dissipation and
ruin. We long to see that day come
when our clever distillers and whisky
sellers (many of whom are our very
best and most substantial citizens) can
find other business more profitable and
will, of their own choice, turn their
attention to other pursuits and in place
of distilleries and saloons, erect
churches and schools in which to edu.
cate the morals and intellects of the
present and future generations. The
evils of intemperance are being more
and more sensibly felt in the country,
and public sentiment sgrowing stronger
against it--so much so that we believe
the whisky men, as they are called,
will eventually give up their business

THE SURPLUS REVENUE.

The New Era says, and correctly,
"The surplus revenue in the United
States is now taxing the newspaper
press; and just what to do with it is the
problem" So it is. We are not sure
about how to manage surplus in the
public treasury, but if it was an indi-
vidual matter we would know just
what to do with it. If we owed $780,
100000, now due and subject to call,
and had a surplus revenue annually of
S150,000, 900, for which we had no
other use, we would not hesitate to
apply every dollar to the payment of
the debt and stop interest as fast as
possible. This would be a common
sense view of the matter. We fail to
see any good reason why the govern
ment should be an exception. We are
of that old fogy class who do not be-
lieve that an individual Or public debt
is a blessing. Our policy would be to
pay off the bonds as fast as they mature
and stop interest, preparatory to per-
manent reduction of taxes. If the
national banks should happen to hold
these matured Understanding bonds
we would issue non-interest bearing
bonds and:give them in exchange, or
which to base their banking business.
If an individual should owe a debt
drawing interest and had the money tt
pay it he would be very poor finan
cier to let his money remain idle in hi'
treasury and his debt accommodating in
terest. We may say the same of the
government officials. If they fail t.
apply the surplus funds to the pay
ment of the public debt they are poo
financiers.

Early Maturity.

Prof. Sanborn, dean of the Agricultu-
RAJ College at Columbia, Mo-, said in a
recent address -
Early maturity for meat product is
essential to fullest success. / have,
from personal experience, abundant
data, showing that the law is that the
older and larger the animal, the more
food it requires to make pound of
growth. This law is as immutable as
those that hold the spheres in their
course. 1t has been said to me that it
is cheaper to make pound of growth
on an eighteen-month~old pig than in
younger one. The man that keeps
pig beyond eight months makes pork
at a greater cost than necessary, and if
kept until eleven months, at say twenty
per cent or more beyond what is nee
essary. Of this there is no question.
Feeding is a science. Not as teach>
err, but as a practical farmer, l owe
my conviction that no practical dis
cussion could be made without using
the discoveries and terms brought out
by the experiment stations of Europe
and some efforts in America. The
subject is too full to now enter into. 1
have for seven successive years devoted
special feeding trials to this matter,
asking the honest steer for his answer,
and not theorists. The steer will not
lie.
I wish to say one thing in this con-
nection of food combinations. The
State produces 100000 tons of corn
fodder, and between 1000, 900 and
10000 tons of wheat straw. | will,
under bond, at present prices of beef,
agree to realize from 81 to So per ton
for these folders, when rightly fed. AS
Col. Sellers expressed it regarding his
eye.water, "there is millions in it." for
at least two.thirds of the fodder is
wasted. 1t can be utilized. 1t is not
enough for US to say that our farming
pays, or that we are doing better than
our neighbors. 1t is our privilege land
duty to press our business to the ex'
tent of our ability and for all that the
farm will give. Hence, in this matter
Of fodder, | ask, can you utilize more
Of these feeds?

PLANT PLENTY OF SECOND CROP
SEED.

While we have failed to realize our
expectations in marketing our spring
crop of Irish potatoes we should not be
discouraged and fail to plant a second
crop for seed. Providence has blessed
our labors with an abundant yield of
fine potatoes, and although we have
had crowded market and very low
prices-far below our expectations
we should feel thankful that we have
them in abundance for home consump-
ton and to plant for second crops.
The very fact that we can grow our
own seed at home for spring planting
and save an immense amount of money
sent North every year for seed, is
worth great deal to the people of the
South. We do regret our disappoint-
ment, but this is a world of disap-
ment and always will be. We shall
take advantage of our abundance of
potatoes and plant freely, at least
plant all the ground back to second
crop. Now is leisure time, and the
work required to prepare the land and
cultivate them after planted is compar-
atively small and the chances are in
our favor that the North and South
will want all our surplus for seed. II
they do not we will have them for
home use and to feed to our stock. Let
us make them and have them on hand
so as to make what we failed to realize
on the spring crop. The South will
likely want for seed and for eating.
The long, hot seasons prevent their po
tatoes keeping. The potatoes soften
and do not keep well, either for seed
or eating purposes. 1t costs but little
to plant the second crop, and it will
in all probability, pay well. Let every
farmer plant at least enough for his
own seed and for table use and some
to sell if there is a demand for them
as there will be most likely in the
spring.

country is on the increase. We be-
lieve it covers larger area to-day in
Middle Tennessee than it did ten years
ago. If this is true it will eventually
drive us out unless we resolve to make
continual war on it until it shall have
been exterminated from the country.
Some of us may not be able to destroy
all the sedge grass, or fill up all the
gullies on our farms in one or two
years, but if we make faithful,
earnest effort to restore to fertility a
few acres each year, in the course Of a
few years we will succeed beyond even
our most sanguine expectations. We
speak from experience. We are
anxious to see our farmers who have
sedge grass, or poor, washed lands on
their farms, form themselves into an
army of soldiers pledged never to cease
their warfare until the last acre on
their farms shall have been restored to
fertility and made to produce food fol-
man or beast. We may not be able
to restore but a few acres at time,
but if we will continue to restore few
acres each year we will be astonished
at the result. How to do these thing;
at the least trouble and expense
be discussed at our farmers meetings

if their rights and privileges are
properly respected. They are not in
sensible of the evils of intemperance.
They see its effects daily, and many of
them have turned their attention to
other pursuits, and many others are
preparing to do so, and as public
opinion continues to grow stronger and
stronger, as it will, against intemper-
ance, the whisky influences will de-
crease until the day will come when it
will not be made, sold or drank in the
State.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

One of the most important questions
to our mind just now is, how are the
farmers of Tennessee going to dispose
of their old sedge fields and other
poor washed places on their farms. 1t
seems to us that no practical, pro-
gressive young farmer can long be con-
tented to see sedge grass grow on his
farm without making an effort to des-
troy it, and grow in its place some
kind of good, sweet, juicy grass for his
stock. 1t is true some of our farmers
have no poor sedge or washed lands
They are more fortunate than many Of
us. From what We have seen we are
of opinion that sedge grass in this
