The Cow Pea rs n Fodder Crop.
I1me7ican AgriculturiSt.l

The COW pea is one of the most valuable
fodder plants for the South. We have seen q
crop of peas which yielded four tons to the
acre of most excellent fodder, and IT left the
ground in the best condition for sowing wheat
at the last blowing, covering them with the
pIow, and we should estimate the yield on the
ground, Of both crops, at ton and a half Of
corn fodder, and forty bushels of peas, with
the corn equal to thirty-tive or forty bushels
to the acre. and large quantity Of pen straw,
which makcs.good feed. The common opln-
ion the South is not stock county is entire
Iy unfoundcd. With the long growing season,
the really rich, but bally managed soil, and
the great variety of fodder crops and feeding
stutfs, it is not Mt all exaggerating the matter
to say, that beef cattle can be reared to one
thousand pounds weight in three years, at q
in addition, there is a large quantity of ma
nure left, which is really Invaluable to the
farmer.

The Citizens Meeting.

The people of Abbevilc held a meeting In
the Court House last Thursday afternoon.
No great amount Of gas was expended, but
the meeting gave evidence of a determination
and unanimity which was gratifying and
assuring. Thos. P. Thomson, Esq, before the
adjournment asked if there was a single indi-
vidual present who was opposed to the move
ment, and urged, If such person be present,
that he speak out. No response came to this
appeal, and everything indicated entire har-
mony. All were impressed with the necessi-
ty of the road, and all were wiliingto contrib
Lte thei- part to It's success.

The Homestead.

We present the full text of the decision OF
the Supreme Court in the Kurz case. 1t will
be found interesting. as settling an important
question as to the right of homestead in prop
erty to which the applicant may have only
equitable right or title. Heretofore the opin-
ion prevailed that the right of homestead did
not exist in such cases. Messrs. Parker &
McGowan carried up the case on appeal, and
have therefore established new doctrine.

Something for The 6 rIs.

Every housekeeper knows how careful
treatment keeps table-hnen and house
hold furniture Girls do not always
know or remember that great care of
their own little possessions viii often
enable them to dress nicely on very little
money. a lady says:
SssWhen was a girl there was one Of
my young friends who was distinguished
for. making her things last Her dress,
hats, gloves and ribbons were marvel
of durability 1 used to wonder how
she maraged to make them last SO with
out their looking shabby, but I ceased
to do so after I had visited her at her
own home. The reason why her clothes
wore. SO long was that she took such good
care OF them. Her dresses We're brushed
and folded away carefully, and the
slightest spot or them was removed as
soon as it was discovered. Her hat was
wrapped in an old pocket handkerchief,
and put away in a box as soon as done
with, the strings and laces being straight
ened and rolled out most symmetrically
each time Her gloves were never fold
ed together, but were pulled out straight
and laid flat in a box, one upo' Ae 9th
er, each time they were used, the tiniest
hole being mended almost before it had
time to show itself. But the thing that
impressed me most was the care she be-
slowed on her ribbons. When making
I'D bows she used to line the upper part
OF the ribbon with white paper, and this
not only prevented the ribbon from be-
coming limp and creased, but kept it
clean, so ttat when the bow was st.iaed
on one side she could turn the ribbon,
and the ribbon, aaa !he part that had
been covered came o'Is locking new and
fresh. That girl ed and brought
up large fanny. Aet husband had TO
fight his way, and dil so braVely, and
was unusually successful, ic:' he became
wealthy. But iis prosperity wa: due
quite as much to his ,yife's care and
economy IN saving money as it was to
his in making it.
