What an Old Farmer Says.

This is the advice of an old man who
has titled the soil for forty years:
I am an old man, upwards of three
score years, during two scores of which |
have been tiller of the soil. 1 cannot
say that am now, but I have been rich
and have all need, do not owe dollar,
have given my children good education,
and when am called away will leave
them enough to keep the wolf from the
door. My experience has taught me
that:
l. One acre of land we'll prepared and
we'll cultivated, produced more than two
which received only the same amount of
labor used on one.
2. One COW, horse, mule, sheep or hog
we'll fed, is more profitable than two kept
on the same amount necessary to keep
one we'll.
8. One acre of clover or grass is worth
more than two of cotton where no grass
or clover is raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats, corn or
wheat, fodder or hay, as a rule, for ten
years, can keep the sheriff away from the
door in the end.
5. The farmer who never reads the
papers, sneers at book farming and i'm.
provements, always has leaky roof,
poor stock, broken down fences, and
complains of bad Seasons"
6. The farmer who is above his busi-
ness and entrusts it to another to manage.
soon has no business to attend to.
7. The farmer whose habitual beverage
is cold water, is healthier, wealthier and
wiser than he who does not refuse to
drink.

Food for Fattening Swine.

Experiments have proved that corn is
not the best food for the production of
pork when fed alone, but it is employed
more extensiyely than all other grains,
roots and vegetables together. If used
as chief article in combination with
other foods it is unequalled by any other
cereal or vegetable that can be success.
fully grown over as great range of
country. Peas, barley, oats, mangels,
potatoes and artichokes are undoubtedly
valuable to a certain extent, but they
can never supercede corn for reasons
obvious to every intelligent farmer. We
she'll corn and soak it in water twenty.
four hours to soften it, because some hogs
with defective teeth cannot thoroughly
masticate it when hard, and consequently
waste great deal. Soaked corn contains
all the tattening qualities of cooked corn,
and is as digestible. Soaking costs moth
ing; cooking is expensive. For soaking
corn it is best to use two tanks or tubs.
When cheap power can be obtained it
would probably pay to coarsely grind or
crack the corn; twelve hours would then
be sufficient for soaking. For variety,
and to keep the hogs in healthy condi.
tion, feed potatoes, mangles, peas, arti'
chokes, oatmeal and bran, or middings
mixed to mush, with skim milk of slops;
even if only in small quantities they will
prove very beneficial. Aim to feed hogs
for market profitably. Intelligent obser.
vation and experiment will show how it
can be done. Remember that warm, dry,
well-bedded sheds are absolutely essen
tial to profitable feeding.

A Funny Mans Den.

The well.known humorist of the
Detroit Free Press does his work in
unique den. A correspondent who took
look into it the other day, thus de-
scribes it: "It was curious room, and
it looked more like museum than a
literary Office. One of the smallest rooms
in the building, twelve feet long BY eight
wide, should think, its walls were
covered with bracket shelves upon which
were laid all sorts of relics which M.
Quad had gathered from the Southern
battle fields. There were fattened bull
lets and bursted shells, rusty canteens
and old cartridge boxes, brass buttons
and big belt buckles, mixed indiscrimi-
nately with the ends of fag.staffs, rusty
pocket. knives, and dozen other things
of like nature. Hanging crosswise on
the walls were numerous guns and swords
of various makes and various stages of
decomposition. That blade there flashes
as brightly now as it did when some rebel
hand swung it through the air and
brought it down on the head of a Union
man. But the old saber beside it is
rusted with the dews of many summers,
and that rapier labeled Fair Oak has
lost its point, broken perhaps in human
flesh. On the electric light hangs an old
tin canteen, its canvas cover now faded,
its mouth filled with rust, while just
below it is Misunderstanding blade
painted red to initiate blood, and label.
led Never draw me without reason,
or sheath me without honor There two
rusty bayonets cross each other, and near
them hangs pair of heavy handouts, a
relic of the slave trade before the war.
There are few pictures in this room of
Quad's, his tastes seem to run rather to
blood and thunder than to poetry and
art."

ANDERSON. THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 90 1884.

"Well, it's the pot painting the kettle
black. Why doesn't the Kettle take q
turn at the pot" But when climbing
the pole still higher, and reaching out as
the monkey does for chestnuts, till his
hand literally rested upon the great
treasure of the American people, an
honest vote, they rose in their might and
said, "Here, this thing has gone far
enough! No more! Stop it! Drop it,
or we'll stop and drop you"
And they meant it, and be and Mr..
Blaine, his partner, knew that they
meant it. And they knew that he knew
that they meant it when Gould sent that
dispatch to Grover Cleveland.
A reign of terror was on the verge of
outbreak which might have been already
checked, overpowered. But it would
have taken the combined force of the
police, the United States marshals and
the militia, and even then the common
sense of the people would have to come
to the rescue,

shaven After "a Years.

"Next!" sung out the barber at the
second chair in Mayers's barber shop in
Chatham street yesterday afternoon. A
tall, grizzled man started to his feet and
began unwinding a silk handkerchief
from his neck. When it was clear q
beard unrolled itself until it fell in a
wiry tangle down on his breast, unfolding
until it touched the floor and concealed
the figure of the customer.
The BARRIERS stopped work with start
that jeopardized three customers noses.
"Gc:tl What's thiss" said the boss.
"Don't be afraid, it's only me" said a
voice percolating with teolian effects
through the wiry jungle.
Is there man actually concealed in
that bale of hair?" exclaimed the funny
man of the Star, who was waiting his
turn. rt
"There is, young feller, and don't yoa
forget it, when you use the scissors, Mr..
Barber" replied the voice from the hair.
"Himmell How did you get so 2"
asked the barber of The second chair.
Through politics." replied the taugle.
Politics ?" chorused customers and
BARRIERS.
eyes, politics. Give me a shave and
I'll tell you all aooutit, and set up the
drinks, too.
All the customers waited and some
went out and brought in friends to wait,
too. The barber tackled the hair and
after tussle OF twenty minutes got the
better of it.. A good looking, ruddy-
faced man of middle age emerged under
the magic touch of the artist.
"Now we'll have your yarn" said the
boss.
"And the drinks" whispered the Gus
toners.
."You shall have 9th. I'll tell you
how it is that politics made my beard
grow"
"Thal's what we want to know" said
the boss, with a professional interest in
the new and mystic lotion.
"Then," said the clean faced stranger,

suit. It was in 1860. / was as spruce
young chap as ever kicked up his heels
at an Orange County wedding, and
everybody knew young Joe Barstow in
those parts. They called me young joe
to make difference between the old man
and me. The old man was Bourbon
Democrat to the backbone, and I was
with him till the split in the 1860 con-
vention, when the Southerners put up
John G. Brecknridge, and we-the
North-nominated Stephen A. Douglas.
I felt strong on the subject and worked
for Douglas day and night. I used to be
very smart in my appearance in those
DAYS, but I worked so hard I had no time
for prinking up.
Gone night made speech at meet
ing in the old Turnpike tavern. Ihad a
weeks growth of stubble on my face, and
before had spoken dozen words some
lout sang out, Go get shaye.' Every
body laughed as they looked at me.
Get shaver says I. No razor touches
my face till see Democratic President
in the White House.
II have kept my word. Take it off
and roll it carefully up in piece of
paper, barber, for | am going to send

And the beardless man started up the
steps with the clan of a boy, followed by
the gang. Last night he was painting

upside down in search of restoratives,
when she clutcbed my sleeve and pointed
to her feet. She had before leaving

socks and had forgotten to remove them.
The thought that she had been parading
before three hundred people with those

A South slider, who had listened to

little chuckle: 'My wife tells almost as

fact that none OF the new shapes suited

A Long, Long Journey.
BY MRS. NJ. L. RAYNE.

When the doctor came down stairs
from the sick room Of Mrs. Marshall the
whole family seemed to have arranged
themselves in the hall to waylay him.
/ "How soon will mamma dit well %
asked little Clyde, the baby.
"Can mamma come down stairs next
week?" asked Katy, the eldest daughter
and little housekeeper.
"Do you find my wife much better ?"
asked Mr.. Marshall eagerly. He was q
tall, grave man, pale with anxiety and
nights of watching.
The doctor did not even stop to answer
their questions.
81 am in great hurry" he said as he
took his hat; II must 60 to patient
who is dangerously i'll. This evening 1
will call again. have left instructions

But the nurses instructions were all
concerning the comfort of the patient !;
she was professionally discreet and silent.
The children playing on the stairs were
told to make no noise. The gloomy day
wore on, and the patient slept and was
not disturbed. But that night before
they went to bed they were allowed to go
in and kiss their mother good night. This
privilege had been denied them lately,
and their little hearts responded with joy
10 the invitation. Mamma was better or
she could not see them. The doctor had
cured her. They would love him for it
all their lives!
She was very pale, but smiling. and
her first words to them we're:
~ am going on a journey /"

"Will you take us with your"
"No, it is long journey"
Mamma is going to the South" said
Katy, "the doctor has ordered her to.
She will get we'll in the orange groves of
Florida"

"You are going alone. mammal" asked
Katy.
"No," said the mother, in low, sweet
voice, II am not going alone. My Ply
sician goes with me. Kiss me goodbye,
my dear ones, for in the morning before
you are awake I shall be gone. You will
all come to me when you are made ready,
but each make the journey alone"
In the morning she was gone. When
the children awoke their father told them
of the beautiful country at which she
had safely arrived while they slept.
"How did she goY Who came for

"The chariot of Israel and the horse.
