AGRICULTURAL.
Oats and Potatoes.

June has given us fine sweet potatoes, but it is death to the maturing oats that were sOwn in February. Every sweet potato draw and slip put in the ground lives, but at once commences q race with weeds and grass. But in uch weather as we have had in June the only way that oats can be saved is, as soon as few hours sunshine dry the stalks. put Tn the cradle, cut them down as rapidly as possible, let binders put them in small bundles and shock them carefully, putting.good caps on to protect them from the rain. They will make well in the field if they only get occasional sunshine and drying winds. These can pene- trate where the rains cannot enter. As soon as they are dry enough, :, take them to chicken proof loft, spread them out, and let them dry thoroughly before packing them away for winter.
 Every farmer should take ad- vantage of the wet weather and make up in sweet potatoes what he loses in corn, cotton and other crops. Farmers generally believe that the soil is not materially in. jured by blowing in wet weather, 1 if rain follows the blowing imme. diately. before it has time to dry. Ridges may be made and slips planted as fast as the growing vines can furnish them, and plenty of potatoes can be made for table use and fattening hogs in the fall and for milch cows, and boiled they may help the chickens through the winter, when chicken food is usually scarce and hungry
 chickens numerous.

Powerful Medicine.

As a physician, the colored gen temnn has not taken high rank, Doctors who graduate with honors refuse to consult with him. They question his skill and spurn his roots and herbs. Sometimes though, the effect of his medicine must be acknowledged. Several days ago, an old negro whose son had been taken violently ill, sent for pr. Simeon, a man whose com plexion is perfect harvest of mid night. but who believes that there is in the woods a remedy for every disease. "How Is he doctorH' asked the father when the physi- clan had examined the patient.
 "Sick, sah'
 "Does yer think he is danger ous?"
 "Eberybody danguS, sah. Dan gus when he aim sick; dangus when he iS.'
 The doctor gave the boy dose of medicine and went away. Ear, ly next morning, the parent sought the physician and with an air of mingled grief and anger, exclaim- ed:
 "Yer ole scoun'rel an hipre er- crit, yer'ye killed my boy"
 "Who hab?n
 "Yesse'f, yer ole rattlesnake. He died in about two hours arter yer gin him dat stuti.'
 'Ole man, l see dat yer doan know nuthin' bout de hetcrogen- ousness O dot boys unsophisticat. ed pluro-nervousuess. Eff l had enter gin him dat medicine yistidy, be woulder died las summer"
 The old'man. after few mo- ments' reflection, said: "Doctor, l hopes dat yer'll 'scuse de ignuuce O CT ole man whut ain' got CT Der " high edy cation. Good mawnin', sah. ."-Arkansaw Traveller.

Pruning Grape Vines.

Any time after the leaves have fallen will answer for prunirg 2 grape vines. It is probably best to do in the fall, so that the vines will be thrown down from the trellises. Near the ground they will be coveredwith snow, and thus protected from injury by severe frost. Itis not best in very cold climate to cut back very closely. The bud next the cut may be frozen and it is better to leave d longer stub and cut back in the spring after this danger is passed.

CONDUCTED BY REV. T. W. HAYES.
Arrangement of the Liquor Busi-
 ness.

By the liquor business as l shall frequently make use of the phrase-I mean the importation, manufacture, sale and use of alco- bolic beverages.
 I arralgn the liquor business as being the most gig lptic unnltlgat- ed curse of tue ages. l deuOunce it as being an absolute, unvarying, unmiXed, aud ineXcusable evil. l charge 1t with being always, alto- gethes, and every where crying, Stenchful nuisance. l brand the liauor business as a parasite living off the social, moral, physical and material interests of the people, producing only the fruits of evil poverty, remorse. shame. s ltferlng death and damnation.
 l accuse It with being a body of death bound to the body polite an incubus and stumbling block in the way of all the sacred and se- cuar interests of the people-ios. tering laziness, licentiousness and crime.
 1 charge the liquor business with breaking the hearts, and crushing and crucifying millions of noble women, and with heaping wretch edness and shame, rags, hunger and hopelessness upon millions of innocent and helpless children. l hold the liquor business as respon- sible to God and men for seventy five per cent of the brawls and riots i crime and litigation of our land; peoples our streets with roughs, tramps, beggars, bruisers, bloats and assasSius. It crowds our pO- ] lice stations, jails, courts, aims. houses. hospitals, asylums, prisons and penitentiaries. It binds con stant sorrow to millions of lives, and heavy burdens of taxation up- on the sober and industrious. It breeds dissention, and inspires discord. It wrecks ambition, and cripples enterprise. It eclipses beauty. and destroys health, It blasts hopes and assaSsinates hon or. It ruins homes, and breaks hearts. It poisons the body, and damnS the soul. It furnishes the gallowS with victims, the pOtter's field with bloated, fostering car casSes, and hell with it's population Indeed, have not enumerated a tithe of evils born and brooded by the liquor business. It Is physl' cial and intellectual curse-a nor al and spiritual curse-an lndlvld' ual and family curse-a neighbor- hood and social curse. It Is a curse to hamlet and village, and town and city--a curse on sea, a curse on shore-a whlthering. blightning, ruinous, remorseless curse to all classes and conditions of life-to town, county, State, and naton and to Gods beautiful world * * There is Gods side to e> cry question. Which side oi the temperance question are you on! Party or principle, which con trols you?-Rev. J. w. Lawton, in the Issue, Nashville Tenn.
