February; the Goth of March sown
to clover; then when clover has six
leaves sow fifty pounds of plaster
to the acre, and you will be aston
ished with the growth. This can
be pastured or cut for hay. 1 have
made (year before last) on young
clover two to three tons of fine hay
to the acre, cut say last August. The
next spring, in April, SOW fifty
pounds more plaster and you will
get an immense growth; in July
turn this under with big plows;
about Sept. 20 SOW to wheat, and
my word for it, you will double any
yield of wheat ever sown in corn
land-say twenty to twenty-five
bushels to the acre, where six to
ten was considered a good yield.
Continue to sow clover, and do not
forget to SOW plaster when the lit
tie clover has six leaves, you there

for moving and cut it and put it in

capped with little wheat straw.
may safely say that the hay off
twenty acres of clover will keep fif-
ty head of beef cattle and fifty
head of mules fat during the
entire feeding season. Save all this
immense quantity of manure and
in few years your farm will excel
in fertility its virgin productive
ness. Do not say this is visionary,
at all; have seen it verified, and
if necessary, can give facts, figures,
names, dates and locations. Good
barns are desirable if one raises
clover and stock, but that need not
be extensive or expensive to com
mence with. Sow all the clover you
can buy, and raise good, young
stock to pasture and feed it to, and
we need go to no new country for
good land or to take store, we can
find money right where we lost it.

Giles County Letter.

Spirit OF the Farm,
Were 1 to choose a subject froEI
which to write an article every
week / would unhesit&tingly take
clover. 1t is a subject that pos
sesses an interest second to none in
this land of ours. Ithink it is the
key to the situatlon-the way out
of the woods. a
The little clover seed, SO minute,
has wrapped up in it our redemption
from the ruin that seems to threat
en- US as farming people. 1t is
only a question of time when the
farmer who raises cotton in the end
will be bankrupt, and worse, will
bankrupt the soil, the only heritage
he can leave to his children. Few
men raise bale of cotton for less
than $50, they sell it for $40, and
leave the land So poorer per acre.
1t takes no mathematician to see
how this will all end. In fact, /
and all your readers have seen it
verified in many Instances where
the man lost his farm and had to
sever the ties as dear as life and go
to Texas, or become a tenant where
he had once been q proud land
lord, all brought about by trying to
control and raise cotton with the
unreliable labor and changed order
of things.
Now, 1 do not condemn cotton
by no means-but cotton, with a
yield of less than bale to the acre,
/ do condemn; it a is non-yaying
crop. l may sometime tell your
readers how to make a bale of cot
ton to the acre and leave the land
better. but it is no easy task with
the labor now at our command; on
the other hand, l know each syear
farms that were once fine, produc-
tive farms, making only a bale to
six or ten acres, their owners 90
ing from bad to worse every year.
Now you will say what has clover
got to do with this? Simply this:

How to Save Bows.

Women who have sons to rear,
and dread the demoralizing intlu-
ences of bad associations, ought to
understand the nature of young
manhood. 1t is excessively rest
less. 1t is disturbed by vague am
bitions, by thirst for action, by
longings for excitement, by IRE
pressible desires to touch life in
manifold ways. If you, mothers,
rear your sons so that their homes
are associated with the repression
of natural instincts, you will be
sure to throw them in the society
that in some measure can supply
the need of their hearts. They will
not go to the public houses at first
for love of liquor-very few persons
like the taste of liquor; they go for
the animated and hilarious com
panionship they find there, which
they discover does so much to re-
press the disturbing restlessness in
their breast. See to it that their
homes compete with public places in
attractiveness. Open your blind by
day and light bright fires by night.
illuminate your rooms. Hang pic
lures upon the wall. Put books
and newspapers upon your tables.
Have music and entertaining.
Danish the demons of dullness and
apathy that have so long ruled in
your household, and bring in mirth
and good cheer. Invent occupa-
tions for your sons. Stimulate
their ambitions in worthy direc-
tions.. While you make home their
delight, fill them with higher pur-
poses than mere pleasures. Wheth
er they shall pass boyhood and en-
ter upon manhood with refined
tastes and noble ambitions depends
on you. Believe it possible that
with exertion and right means, a
mother may have more control
over the destiny of her boys than
any other influence whatever

The New Orleans Exhibition.

That the New Orleans Exhibi

take rank alongside of the centen

prises of this century. To those
who have not watched the course
of its managers thus far, and who
have not kept themselves conver
SAINT with what has already been
done, this language may seem lit
tie strong, but we feel assured that
they would soon admit its truth il
they would examine the results al
ready accomplished. 1t is really
wonderful to note with what enthu-
siasm this grand project is meeting,
not only in America, but through
out the civilized world. And it is
especially gratifying to see that it
has aroused no petty local jealousy
among other southern cities but has
rather stimulated them to earnest
efforts to outrival each other in
their displays at New Orleans.
Atlanta, for instance, has wisely
determined to concentrate her ex-
hibits, and for that purpose has Sc
cured 10000 square feet or nearly
one acre of space in which will be
gathered all of the displays of At
lanta manufacturers. By thus con
centrating all her individual exhib-
its within this space, Atlanta and
Atlanta manufacturers will attract
far more attention than in any 9th
er way. The example of that city
may, with profit, be followed by
other cities of the south, and then
there will be generous rivalry for
pre-eminence that will not only add
to the attractiveness and value of
the exhibition by bringing out the
best efforts of southern cities but
will enable visitors to see just what
each city is doing in the way of
manufactures. While none of the
southern states can affsrd to ignore
this exhibition by failing to make
state display, yet it is also impor-
tant that every southern city should
be represented.
There is now most excellent
promise the exhibition will be about
the most magnificent display of a
country's vast resources, developed
and undeveloped, that the world has
ever seen. We believe that the dis
plays of the various southern states
will surpass even the states exhib-
its at the Centennial, and that in
the aggregate they will so present
the marvellous resources of the
south as to attract the attention and
of the world. Mighty
results for the south will be accom-
plished by this enterprise, and it
behooves the people of this section
to put forth their grandest efforts
In so worthy cause.-Baltimore

Cold Winters.

Hartford Times: Probably the
winter of l741 was marked by the
deepest snow of any winter in this
ort the last centuary, in New
England at least. What little
is known of it is known from tradi-
ton but if this can be relied upon,
there has been nothing to equal it
since. And it was savage winter,
too. The humble old farm houses
of those days were said to have
been buried to the roof in snow that
lasted with arctic weather all win
ter, killing much of the stock. An
other memorable one was the win
ter of 1870, which froze Long Is
land Sound so completely all
over that artillery was drawn from
Connecticut to Long Island. The
winter of 1912, Napoleon's fatal
winter, was notably severe one on
both sides of the Atlantic, but
more especially in Europe. All
very cold winters seem to be mark
ed by deep SHOWS. The winters of
1921 and 1881, and Especially of
of 1885 and 1886, were memorably
severe, the snow lying deep and
long. The winter of 1856 was
hard one, with deep snow, lasting
late in the spring. A snow storm
that came not long after, or about
the time of the glittering and
splendid ice exhibition on the trees,
the morning after Christmas of that
winter, made much trouble by its
depth, extent, and stopping rail
road trains, and other vehicles in
all parts of the middle, northern
and eastern states. In January.
1867, a great snow occurred that
buried. New England completely and
greatly interfered with all kinds of
travel, and another at Christmas
time was very heavy one. The |
present winter of 1884 is not to be |
at. Perhaps it may be due |
to the increase of thermometers and
belegraphs, from Nova Scotia to |
straits, but we are hear
ing of such cold as was never heard |
Of before, say As ands69 degrees be-
low zero.

The Spirit of the Farm says that
ii mber for posts should not be cut
in May, because the timber is full
of sap, which sours In the wood and
causes it to rot. Posts cut in the
winter are durable, the wood is ma
ture and contains little, sap which
has not then begun to rise in the
tree. If the trees are cut in August
and left untrimmed the leaves soon
carry off the moisture from the
wood, which season quickly, and
are as durable as winter cut tim

Courier-J ournal: The south, Wig
orous and prosperous, stands on
the threshold of the new year with
hands out of pocket and feet off the
fender. Courage and frugality
have brought about the regenera-
tion. The underbrush has been
cleared away; the swamps have be-
come fertile fields, and the man
hood OF the south walks erect in the
sunlight. The idlers have climbed
down from their seats on the fences.
There is q general taking off OF
coats and lengthening of suspen-
ders. NOn every side can be seen
the effect of this new spirit that has
come among US. Our homes are
finer and happier, sure indication
that our hearts and purses are big
ger and better. The process of ev-
olution is most gratifying. A few
days ago half hundred northern
capitalists visited Chattanooga and
vicinity for the sole purpose of max
ing investments in farms and min
ing lands and sites for manufacto-
ries. The drift of capital indicates
the presence of "pay dirt" And
so it is over the new south. For
every furnace that blows it's life out
in the north we will eventually
show two in the south. The iron
and the coal and the timber and
the gold as well as the cotton are all
there; the fields are well titled and
fruitful; the people are working
out, with honor to themselve s, the
problem of success; and lastly the
war is hardly memory.

San Francisco Chronicle: A wo-
man always wants to De a man.
The absolute STRAIN of having to
keep pure and respecta BILE is so great
on a man that he never dreams of
wanting to be Il woman. There
would be a nice row in the world
if man had to stand the same
judgment as woman and suffer the
same penalties for offences against
social rules. And yet believe that
if women had all the privileges of
men they would decline to make
use of one-half of them. If their
curiosity were satisfied once their
taste would rise against indulgence.

Tax the Pistol.

From away down south, SAYS the
New York Herald, comes the origi-
nal suggestion that while congress
is discussing taxation it should i'm
pose heavy tag on the pistol and
crush the deadly thing out of exist
ence. The Lancaster, Is. c.. Ledg-
er calls the pistol ''a curse to the
human race" and ga boon to the
highwaymeh," and ga companion to
the assassin, the murderer, the
thief and the coward" and contin-
ues: "There is not a good word to
be said about it. Out of every
thousand acts committed with the
pistol there is not more than one
good one" All this is tEpe and
much similar tenor of might be add
ed. Not unfreduently the pistol
kills the wrong person, and used in
self-defense the bullets usually miss
their mark. A stout cane is far
more effective at close quarters
than a pistol in the hands of one
who is not good shot, and the
householder startled from sleep by
burglar could better defend himself
with a carving knife, hatchet OF
baseball club than whole drawer
full of pistols.
The pistol should go and the shot
gun, kept exclusively for homicida
purposes, should go with it.

A Great Eater

Perhaps the greatest eater that
ever lived existed in the days of
Old Parr, in the beginning of 1000.
His name was Nicholas Wood, of
the county of Kent, England. One
of the writer's of the time, says:
"He did eat with ease a whole
sheep, and that raw, at one meal; at
another time thirty dozen of pig
cons. On one occasion he deyoured
eighteen yards of black pudding.
He made an end of whole pig at
once, and after it three pecks of
damsons; while again he ate six
penny loaves, three six penny veal
pies, one pound of butter, one good
big dish of thornback and a peck
loaf in the space of an hour"

This is great country, and we
all love to boast of it's unlimited re-
sources and of our ability to feed
the nations of the world; yet it is a
sad fact--tell it in whisper, if YOU
will-that duriag the past year we
have imported from Canada alone
nearly million of dollars worth
of eggs. What is the matter? Have
our Yankee hens gone on a
strike, or have our farmers in Civ
ing increased attention to improv-
ing and increasing their other live
stock, forgotten the hens and al
lowed the decrease for want of care?
While there may not be as great
profit in poultry-raising as in some
other branches of the live stock
business it is profitable and can be
carried on to some extent in connee-
tion with any other agricultural oc-
cupation.

Attention to little things about
the farm,as in any other business, is
what increases the profits. Plenty
of eggs, chickens, a few calves, a
colt or SO, help wonderfully. If
some of the perquisites arising are
given to the children for the care
bestowed, they will cheerfully help
in the garden, and thus another i'm
pertant item is added to the we'll be
