Convention has been called to meet

aud rs. 1856. Gentlemen from the
North. eminent in their calling and
of practical experience, will discuss
questions and methods the adoption
Ut which will be the inltiatory step
to a less expensive AMI more proiita-
hle system of farming. The four

ideas of how the great land business

advantage
To secure as large an attendance

vention and appoint delegates who

TO the Baptists of Mississippi.

The following address should meet
with prompt and liberal response
from every Baptist in ssissippi !:
DEAR BRETHREN The Office and
material OF the Baptist Record were
destroyed by fire on the morning Of
the LIST inst. The proprietors had
no insurance on the same, and suffer
therefore total loss amounting to
about $4,000. Our brethren, Gam
brcll and Foster, have ordered new
outfit, and are dependent upon the
brethren for the forthcoming of the
funds necessary to pay for the same.
Not as bonus or gift; but what
they want is that every one who is
indebted to them will at once remit ;
and that all persons who desire to
help them will at once subscribe Tor
the Record and pay in advance.
This request being so reasonable,
We have thought proper TO make it
known to you, and To urge you by
the ties of Christian sympathy and
brotherhood, and for the interests OF
the denomination so ably and faith
fully served 10y the Record that you
respond promptly to this appeal.
We especially beg the pastors and
deacons of the churches throughout
the State to lay this matter prompt
~ before their churches and let the
subscriptions be promptly forward
ed to the Record, at Jackso Miss.

Indians, surged around the polls.
Bosses and strikers pulled and
fumcd, fights were plentiful, and
late in the evening man with a
family dependent on him, was shot,
and it is believed will die. 1t is be-

I the same as ours, save that he
cuts preferably and most economi-
cally with a reaper. He formerly
used the French machine for ensilag-
ing, but he now uses a Ross cutter,
which he considers superior, and
which is now the favorite in France.
By it's use he cuts fifty tons a day at
a uniform length of 42-1OO Of an
inch. The treading last fall was
done by a colt. The covers are of
planks sheeted with iron, and
weighted with pig-iron. One hun
dred pounds of stone and iron per

ploys double that weight. The result
is a wonderful solidity of the

witnessed his feeding that night,
and found in very instructive. The
ensilage was acknowledgement, odor-
less, and insipid, and was fed to
about seventy head of milch COWS
and several steers. With every ten
pounds of ensilage he mixes one
pound of shorts; and the daily
rations for each cow is thirty-three
pounds. From one years end to
another maize is the herds sole

to the fresh. The cost Of feed per
animal per diem is 3 3-5 cents for
feed that costs but ninety cents per

STABLE 0

Jeff. w. Maywick writes in the
Western Agriculturist on stable floors
as follows: ''There seems to be a
considerable diversity of opinion as
regards the best floor, simply because
in point of labor it is a trifie more
convenient, others greatly prefer the
dirt or clay floor, inasmuch as it is
promotIve of good to the horse.
And further it acts as a preventive
of the many evils that necessarily
originate wherever the plank floor
is brought into use. 1t does not
require but little mere labor to keep
an earth floor in good condition,
than is required to keep the plank
floor in repair. The filth, which of
necessity is bound to accumulate
under the plank floors, cannot but
prove a prolific breeding of disease.
While on the other hand, the earth
floor, if properly attended to, does
not afford such a harbinger for the
secretion OF flth-the very idea OF
its being secreted is the only reason
the glaring objection is often over
looked. AS an evidence Of the supe-
riority of the earth floor over that
Of the plank floor, the reader is cited
to the fact that at many of the stock
exchanges and livery stables where
horses are kept for sale or trade, a
part of the floors IRE nicely and
purposely prepared for the improve
ment of the condition of horses that
have been badly injured in the feet,
limbs and shoulders. What is the
remedy these men employ and rely
on? The earth floor that has stood
the test Of all ages"

SOWER N SEED.

A kindly word and a kindly deed.
A helpful hand in time of need.
With a strong true heart
To do his part
Thus went the sower with his seed.
Nor stayed in his toll to name his creed,
No coat of arms, nor no silken crest.
No purple or linen about his breast,
But royalty true
To the purpose in view
Was his ceaseless search. and his con.
slant quest,
For suffering souls in need of rest.
Feeling for others, bearing their pain,
Freeing the letters, undoing the chain,
From sorrow and tears.
He wrought the bright years
Still unknown to rank, and unknown to
fame,
In letters of light God writeth his name.

ADVANTAGES OF BEES ON THE
FARM.

If bees did nothing more than
store up honey and wax that alone
would be sufficient for encouraging
their presence, but they perform
even greater service in carrying
pollen from one plant to another.
This has been proved by experiment,
and especially in Australia, where
red clover grows luxuriantiy, but
only from imported seed. The clover
would not seed, but in every other
respect was the same as that grown
in America. Bundle bees were then
introduced, and seed was then pro-
duced by the clover. Our common
bee does not assist red clover,
though it carries pollen to the white
variety, but the above shows that
insects which industriously work in
the blossoms perform a natural ser
vice of fertilization, and as they
work on but one kind at a time they
do not mix up the varieties or destroy
them.-Farm, Field and Stockman.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-06-09
VARIETY is THE SPICE OF LIFE

This applies to the farmer, for he
often denies himselfa variety. Every
farmer should have upon his table,
in addition to pork. and potatoes,
plenty of sweet corn. peas, lettuce,
tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans,
beets and other well known vegeta-
bles. Nor should he cease with such,
but give the table a surfeit OF small
fruits also. At this season OF the
year the health of the members OF
the family will depend upon the diet
to which they are subjected. In the
spring and summer the stock do
best on green, succulent food, and
the farmer should profit by the daily
occurrences on the farm and pro
vide himself in like manner. The
farmer who cannot afford to have
these things is willing to infict upon
himself a self-denial which should
not be encouraged, and as it is eco
nomical management he suffers in
consequence.-Farm, Field and Stock

DURABLE WHITEWASH.

Put a half bushel quicklime in a
barrel and add boiling water until it
is covered nearly six inches deep;
cover the barrel to keep the steam
in, and when the violent ebullition is
over, add water enough to bring it
to the consistency of cream, allow
ing four pounds of rice flour to each
half bushel of lime, or the rice -four
may be mixed with the water for
shaking, mixing the flour carefully
in cold water before putting it in the
hot water. Stir constantly in the
hot water until thoroughly set, and
then pour it all ove the lime, as di-
rected.
To improve the above, add two
pounds of sulphate of zinc and one
pound of salt. To change the color,
add yellow ochre for cream tints,
and lumber, red and lampblack for
fawn tints. The, permanence of
whitewash thus prepared is remark
able, and, when once tried, will be
used to the exclusion of the ordinary

LUCK AND LABOR.

Luck is waiting for something to
turn up.
Labor, with keen eyes and strong
will, will turn up something.
Luck lies in bed and wishes the
postman would come and bring him
news of a legacy.
Labor turns out at six o'clock,
and with busy pen or ringing ham
mer, lays the foundation for a COM
petence.
Luck whines.
Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chances. Labor on
character.
Luck slips down to indulgence.
Labor strides up to independence.

A GREAT COMET TO BE VISIBLE.

ALBANY, Feb. lS.--The E'cening
journal says that Prof. Lewis
Boss, of the Dudley Observatory,
has made the discovery that the
comet seen at Paris on December
lst is slowly increasing in bright
ness. The increase will continue
slow until April 1st, when it will
begin to be much more rapid, and
by the middle of the month will be-
come visible to the naked eye. Two
weeks later it will reach its maxi
mum of brightness, when its appear
ance will be much like that of 1882,
and be visible all night. 1t will
also, as that of 1881, be seen in the
western sky. When nearest the
earth it will only be $1,000, 900
miles distant. 1t will retain its
brightness until May 18th, when it
will gradually fade from the vision,
to appear later to the people south
of the Equator. The Barnard comet
is also discovered to he increasing
in brightness, but will not become
