Sweet Potato Culture in Southern Nd.
BY G. @ JoYNEs.

Editors Of Beacon :-Greeting-It
has been my intention for two months
past to place at the disposal of your
columns the practical results Of ex-
perimental Potato Raising as has been
proven BY Eastern Shore men in low-
err St. Mary's during the past year,
and at the request Of many neighbor-
hood farmers shall give the "Acco-
mac County" method of producing
them. But if should not be sufi-
GENTLY concise your readers must ex-
cuse me, because in presenting a move
ment to community SO important as
| consider the Potato Culture to be to
the citizens of st. Mary's county, no
apology should be made in any case
or place.
The Thomas P Langley farm, now
owned by Mr.. John T. Powell, of Pow
elton, Accomac county, Va, and
known in this vicinity as Bar Neck,
lies between the North and South
prong of st. Jerome creek. This
farm is low, stiff land, with tight
subsoil, and if sweet potatoes were
made profitable on this land (Which l
shall prove) there is no reason why
the farmers in this part of the county
should not at least triple the cash
value of produce from their lands
yearly.
In January, 1884, two young men
came from Accomae to till Mr.. Pow
ellis farm. They of course had no
means the Fall previous to their COM
ing to raise any manure by hauling
"pine skaters or woods muck, 80
abundant in this county and 80 valu-
able to be used in place Of high-priced
fertilizers in every instance. The ex-
tremely wet Winter and Spring found
them near the middle of March with
comparatively no manure-could not
haul it-but had heaped it in round
piles in the pine woods and also the
sea-ore from the Bay shore. Of this
they carted sufficient quantity TO
cover an area sufficient to get in some
$4,000 or 10000 potato plants late in
season and under very unfavorabls
circumstances, for after the la't Spring
rains it became very dry, and the
ground for the plants being low and
stiff, broke up very cloddy and could
scarcely be managed. These two men
on this same piece of land dug up and
shipped 1853 bbls. of potatoes and
cleared net $317.34. They shipped
these potatoes, receiving cash for each
shipment, raised a large crop of corn
and harvested both corn and fodder
and were ready to fold their arms
three or four weeks before Xmas. If
the same acreage (tilled by two men
in connection with a large corn
crop in tobacco or wheat any where
in ST. Mary's can be found to excel
this potato crop for the production Of
ready cash under the circumstances
your correspondent would like to hear
J Of it. 1t is very evident indeed to a

Two Very Ugly Twins.

They go hand in hand, and lead
their victim terrible trot down into
the valley of the shadow of death.
One is neuralgia, the other rheuma-
tism. These generally proceed from
disordered blood. Browns Iron Bit
tiers knocks out these ugly twins by
setting the blood Alright and inyigor-
ating the system. Mr.. W. 7. Osborne,
of Coxvills, Ala, used Browns Iron
Bitters for rheumatism and neuralgia
with most happy effect. 1t also cures
dyspepsia.

seizing the notes, and then turning
with a lofty air, she was about to
march from the court room.
stop, madam l am not satisfied"
The officers tone was peremptory and
startling.
what do you want ?" demanded
the aristocratic lady, facing him with
an insolent look.
II want my dress"
For the first time, the proud wo-
man quailed. Her husband turned
pale. Both rsaiizsd the situation full.
ly now. Fate HAD rstaliated their
extortion upon themselves.
"Givo me your name and direc-
ton, she faltersd. II will send you
the dress"
II want the dress now"
The court room rang with cries of
delighted appreciation, which the
sheriffs could scarcely silence. The
woman and her husband appealed to
the judge.
EVERY man can claim his own, :"
answered the stern-facsd magistrate.
"This gentleman has right to the
property which he has fairly purchas-
ed, and he may demand payment at
once.
"Orderl orderl" cried the officers
of the law as the audience again
shouted and clapped their applause.
The people could not conceal their
sympathy with the innocent man SO
relentlessly pushed to the wall by his
hard accusers, and now 80 suddenly
and strangely in a position to punish
them.
The painful scene could have but
one ending. Overwhelmed with cha
grin and rage which changed to real
terror when she saw two sheriffs ap-
proaching her, the rich lady, begged
her creditor to take back his money
and leave her the dress.
III shall set my own price. Two
hundred rubles will not pay for tbs
dress now" replied the young object,
"3ell me bow much Then" she said
webbing angry tears.
"0ne thousand rnbles T.
The mortified husband, knowing
that there was no escape but this from
the unhappy predicament he and his
wife had brought themselves into by
tkeir over-reaching and arrogance,
called for a pen and paper and wrote
an order on his banker for the re-
quired sum.
The two retired from the court amid
the Kisses Of the crowd; and while
the young mans conduct could not be
morally justified, because it was re-
turning evil for evil, yet many a
spectatorsaid that day that the old
Russian proverb had been fulfilled
The kntfe you sharpen on a poor
minis fingers sOiU cut of your O,on
hand."
