Crops and Bad Prices
WHAT SHALL BE DONE
RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 1, 1885

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. 1, 1885
The situation of our Farmers, and
more especially of those in the Eastern
Counties, is a serious one. With cotton
at 81 cents and everything else in the
same proportion, it is doubtful whether
our people can make cotton at all
with the old method. Thousands of
thoughtful men all through the
South are considering earnestly this
question: WHAT SHALL BE DONE2
With prices of their products way down
and the prices of all they buy not re-
duced in the same proportion, what
shall be done to feed the family, buy
during this New Year? All this time
sensible men are cutting down every eX-
pense and resolving that they will make
more at home. Milk, meat, vegetables
must be made in larger quantities and
groceries saved corn, oats and grass
must be provided for the horses, COWS
and hogs. High-priced fertilizers and eve
ry extra thing are entirely out of the
question. The wise man will buy the
cheapest and best ingredients only and
make fertilizers at home this year.
At this time, THE NORTH CARROLL
Ma PHOSPHATE COMPANY, an ex-
clusively North Carolina Company, work
ing nothing but North Carolina material,
wants to inform the prudent men just
described how they can help themselves
and help a home enterprise by buying
LIME PHOSPHATE, the cheapest Phos-
phate ever sold in North Carolina. 1t is
to the interest of every farmer in North
Carolina to write to the NORTH CARO-
LIMA PHOSPHATE COMPANY at
Raleigh, n. c., and learn how to save
money and make a good fertilizer that
will make a good crop at a very low
price.

suppose Mr.. Edmunds, and nearly all OF the
foremost lawyers of the Senate, agree with
the supreme court.
Without some specification OF corporation
favoritism, the general charge vanishes. l
have seen no specification.
Permit me to say that have had no
doubt about the retention OF Mr.. Edmunds
In the Senate Of the United States, by the
people Of Vermont, but l have feared that
the home opposition to him might be produc-
tive OF come injury elsewhere to the Repub-
lican party. Our gallant little state has long
felt great pride In his lead in the Senate,
where his vigilance has often been potential
against misohievous legislation.

The following letter from one OF the larg-

cheese and eggs in New York city, aud who
oooperated with leading dairymen in getting
the recent legislation in Congress, is very
conclusive answer to the lies that have been
30 many times repeated in the anti Edmunds
papers in this state. This and Senator Nor
rils letter ought to silence the detractors,
but there is no reason to expect they will;

New YoRK, Aug. Is, 1885,
Mr.. O. 9. Pierce, Secretary OF the Rutland
County Agricultural Society:
Dear SRI see it reported in our New
York city papers that there is opposition to
the r, election OF Senator Edmunds. I hope
he will be returned to the Senate, for the Tea-
son that he is good friend OF the sgricul-
turists and the dAirymen Of this country. He
did excellent service in the United States
Senate in favor OF the oleomargarine bill.
The farmers and dairymen Of the United
States should stand by their friends, who
have proven themselves to be such by their
past acts. trust your association will con-
slider ii their duty to favor the =, election Of
Senator Edmunds. Yours very truly,

Daisies.

Daisies.
White-hatted, dainty daisies,
o let me sing their praises
All down among the grasses
Where low the soft wind passes;
SO meek 10 snowy wilderness,
Despite their gold hearts, brightness;
SO brave 10 meet the showers
That come 10 bless the flowers.
They star the sunny meadows
Aud grow In ferny shadowa,
To watch the grOund-bird's treasure
And nod aud smile with pleasure
At little children merry,
Who seek the wild strawberry;
And, taken in their going,
Or kindly left still growing,
A daisy's never signing,
Or DER her sad fate crying.
We love the rose-queen's bushes,
sweet-brier's shy pink fushes,
The lilys stately graces,
Aud tender pansy faces;
But yet remember daisies
We're ne'er made vain by praises. L

observed to be lame, he should be

lameness can 0e plainly traced to

out Of ten, they result from bad
shooting. a corn is a bruiSe of the

Of blood to the affected part. 1t is
usually located in the inner heel ,
and is chronic in some horses. 1t
usually terminates in suppnration.
The affection is recognized by
lameness, tenderness of the quarter
when tapped with the hammer, and
when the heel is pared down, eX.
travasatcd blood is noticed, and
sometimes there will be an exuda-
ton of puss, known then as a

A corn is treated by first rcmov-
ing the shoe, then thinning the
sole to relieve pressure; apply a
poultice two to five days. After
wards, when working, remove the
shoes every month.

Fall Pigs.

1t is doubtful If anything is
gained ultimately by having sows

of two filters must injuriQusly re,
duce the SOW, and the pigs are not
properly nourished, thus injurlng
them. But when the spring litters
are still.born, or lost shortly after
birth, or, in some cases, when sows
are too young to be bred TO farrow
in the spring, it is good policy to
breed for fall pigs. But to make
them as good as spring pigs they
must have good shelter and the
equivalent OF green food. Swine
shelters are more likely to be made
too warm than otherwise. The
swine lie close together, and their
bodies are compact, hence they re.
quire rather open shelters. Shelter

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
HEN HOUSE GUANO.

Farmers lose a great deal of very
valuable fertilizer every year by
not saying the manure from the
hen house as they should. Kept
dry, this manure is almost equal to
the best Peruvian guanO, and will
90 as far and do as much good,
pound for pound, as any Of the
average fertilizers in the market.
The proper way to manage it is,
to have a tight roof overhead that
will not leak, and n plank floor
beneath to keep the drOppings
from absorbing the moisture OF the
soil. Then as fast as the manure
collects in a pile under the rOOsts
it can be scraped aside to one cor
ner of the room, worked over with
a hoe to make it fine, and then
covered with plaster, to prevent
the escape of the ammonia. a
barrel or bag of the plaster should
be kept always in the poultry
house, and every time some of the
manure is scraped back to the pile
some plaster should be sprlukled
over it. Hen manure kept dry
in this way, and sprlnkled with
plaster, can easily be worked
fine, and will be as dry and fit to
handle in order to SOW it as most
of the commercial fertilizers.
Not only should the pile itself be
sprinkled with plaster, but plaster
should be scattered over that I'M
der the roosts where it lies upon
the floor. 1t would cause it to dry
quicker, and the atmosphere of the
house would be made purer. The
health OF the fowls demands that
the poultry house be kept clean
and sweet. TO effect this, nothing
Is better than plaster; and for the
manufacture of a good and effective
fertilizer, no combination is better
than poultry manure and land
plaster.
But it is essential that this ma.
nure be kept dry. Therefore a
plank floor to the poultry houses IS
necessity. 1t may be of the
cheapest boards, and tarred, to
make it last longer. Road dust
dry may take the place of the
plaster as an absorbent, and dry
clay is also good. But as plaster
is itself a valuable fertilizer, the
manure is much better when this
is used. Save the manure. 1t
will pay.-Inder.AppeaL

A Shilling Heart.

1t is rare that the growth of ones
benevOlence keeps pace with the
growth OF ones means. When
persons are absorbed with thoughts
of gaining, keeping or enjoying
wealth, they lose their inclination
for giving, and grow narrow, sOrdid
and selfish.
A widow with a very small in
come was remarkable for the
liberality of her gifts to religious
objects. She at length became
heir to a large property, and it was
noticed that her contributions be-
gan to fall off. Her offerings we're
smaller in amount than when she
was poor, and grew less and less;
now she only gave when she was
asked to give, and then she gave
next to nothing at all. Once, when
applied to by her pastor to help a
cause to which, in humble circum.
stances, she had always contrlbut-
ed a gninea, she presented only a
shilling; and the good minister
could not help calling attention
to the change that had come over
her.
"Ah " she said, "when day by
day, looked to God for my bread,
| had enough and to spare now |
have to look to my ample income,
and | am all the time haunted with
fear of losing it and coming to
want. had the guinea heart
when had the shilling means;
now have the guinea means aud
the shilling heart.
