This is essentially I'm agricul-
tural country. The foundations
of our growth and presperity.as
people must forever rest in the
soil. OF the II 100000 people in
the United States who, 1880 wore
engaged in useful and productive
occupations, 1854, 600 were en-
gagged IN agriculture in rendering
professional and personal services
and in trade and transportation.
The capital invested in agriculture
was more than $4,000, 900, 900,
while the whole capital invested
in the manufacturing and mechan-
icaI industries was sl,700, 900, or
little more than one-ffth of the
other. The individuals and cor
poratIons, principally corporations
in the larger industries with an
invested capital of S1,70O, 600, 900,
realized in q single year, as shown
by their own reports to the officers
of the census bureau, the sum of
SILVIA, oUI, o4i, or 81 per cent.
upon their investment after pay
ing for all the materials used and
all the labor employed, while the
Sl2, 200, 100000 invested in agricul-
ture yielded the gross sum of
$4,000, 100000, including all that
was consumed on the farm. or o
little over IS per cent. upon the
investment. But from this there
had to be deducted the cost of re-
building and repairing, fertilizlng,
taxes and the cost of all the labor
employed, so that the average net
profits OF the farmers throughout
the country was not moro than 8
or 4 per cent.-Hon. J. G. Carlisle.

COTTON.
Paris North Texan.

Paris North Texan.
There is some money IN cotton
culture, but only when the farmer
plants good land, cultivates highly,
raises his own meat and bread, and
grain and rough forage for his
work stock. 1t is better TO diver
sify our crops. Better have more
than one iron IN the fire. If one
crop fails, We can fall back upon
the others. Diversified farming
pays. 1t pays to use labor-saving
Implements. Anything that saves
labor increases the profits and de-
creases the expense of making the
crop. The best seed pays. There
is blooded seeds as well as blooded
stock. Poor land makes poor pas
lures, and poor pastures makes
poor stock. Poor crops make poor
seed. The idea is that both good
seed and good stock will rapidly
degenerate into scrub stock and
scrub seed by neglect.
This general rule all over the
South to rent land to any and
everybody, without any restlc-
tions as TO how the soil should be
plowed, cultivated, drained-with-
out any reference to any wise
method of rotation of crops-aIl
this is wrong and it is yearly rob-
bling our soil of its fertility. Keep
out of dhbt. Debt has ruined its
millions, and will ruin you and
yours if you do not take good care
to keep out of its butchers. Debt
is the worst of all masters and
foes. 1t destroys your peace OF
mind, and day and night, week
days and on Sundays, year in and
year out, it rises up in phantom,
ghost-like form TO worry you,
haunt you to the grave. Beware
of debit 1t is nightmare that
robs the weary brain of rest. Debt
is your worst enemy, Keep clear
of debt and you are all right. Do
not be tempted in this thing. Let
your pride suffer, and your back
suffer, and your stomach suffer,
but keep out of debt if you possibly
can. When you. are in debt you
are not your own master, but some
body else's slave. Don't be slave
to any man or men if you can pos
slbly avoid it. Think of these
things. Study economy, but not
penurIousness /; one is a virtue to
be courted, while the other is o
vice TO be Stunned.

POTATO WATER CURES RHEUMATISM.
For the benefit of the large num-
Der who are suffering from rhcu-
matism in this neighborhood, we
publish 4 sure cure as related to
US by q gentleman who was so i'll
with this disease that his life was
despaired of. He was confined to
his bed, and so acute was his
suffering that if a person walked
across the room, it caused him to
scream out with pain. His wife
heard that potato water was good,
and as a last resort, she put on
half peck OF potatoes in an IRON
kettle over the stove and let them
boil all to pieces. She then, by
dInt of much labor and extreme
pain on the part of her husband,
got him up and put his feet in soak
in the water, and the pain was re-
lieved as if by magic. Cloths Dip
ped in the hot potato pot were
then applied to his knees and
other portions affected, and
although the application almost
killed him at first, so sensitive
was the first touch, yet moments
time saw tho pain alIaycd and the
patient was soon enjoying a sweet
sleep. His recovery was speedy,
and he has not had a severe attack
of rheumatism since. We advise
all our readers to give this simple
but effective remedy q trial. The
person who received such benefits
has told the remedy TO many
others, and IN every instance it
has proved successful.-Capc Ann

The GRANGE.-Thc healthful in

what it is, is to remove the rubbish
of ignorance by the power of ap-
plicatioD and study. 1t has never
felt the destroying influence of dis
slpation. From you are to come
the great thinkers, philosophers,

enterprfsine farmers of the future,
the men who are to make this great
continent bloom as an Eden; to fill

There is no excuse for an opportu-
nifty: "Where there is will there
IS way" Your mental powers
are needed as much SO IN the bat
tie OF life as your physical, if it
was not so your maker wouldn't
have given it to you.-Cleburne

LABOR SAVING MACHINERY AND WAGE!


LABOR SAVING MACHINERY AND WAGES.
J. T. b. AnnIston, Ala. Do labor
saving machines injure working
men1
No. They benefit them. Ma
chinery increases wages. The now
ing machine will do the work of
ten men, the horse rake the work
of twenty men, the power thrasher
the work of sixty men, yet the
wages of farm laborers have doub-
led since these auxIllaries were in
troduced. The sewing machine
will do the work of thirty women,
yet even the wages of sewing wO-
men have increased since the must
cal helper took its place by their
side. And, the price of commodi-
ties does not correspondingly in
crease with wages. Instead of in
creasing, the price OF almost all
that the laborer needs has gone
down, till four hours of labor TO-
day will buy more of the necessI-
ties and luxurles of life than eight
hours of labor would buy shlrty
years ago. When the first railroad
penetrated the interior of New
York state, the farmers mobbed It's
contractors and drove them away,
because they thought and said that
If it was allowed to be built "horses
wouldn't be worth a cent" The
road was built, and some stage
lines were suspended, but the price
of horses went up the first year
from $40 to 800. The more ma
chinery the more work. Work
ingmen are immeasurably better
off in every respect than they
were before the invention of
labor-saving machines.
