SOUTHERN FARMER BOYS.

Gen. Stephen G. Lee, the able and
successful President of the Missis-
sippi Agricultural College, at Starke-
vile, Miss, has done a noble work
for the youhg/men of his State, yet
he earnestly desires to do still more
and better for the rising generation.
Il am really alarmed" he writes,
"as te the future of our farmer boys.
The cream has been taken off our
lands by their fathers and grand
fathers, and now, when they cannot
make money off them they turn
them over to their boys like a
squeezed lemon. Without training
and education, these boys cal do no
better, but must do worse, because
they have poorer lands. AS a con-
sequence, strangers, who have been
educated in Europe or at the North,
will gain possession Of our soil. They
will know how to restore it, and III
poor boys, for lack Of preparation,
will be their laborers. The problem
now facing the farmers of the South
is no new one; it has confronted
every older nation. 1t has been de-
ferred with us because we have been
blessed with the best lands and
climate any people ever had. We
have had u troubles, and now
must show some ofithe pluck exhib-
tied in the war, rising above all OBJ
~stacles, and retain our lands for our
Southern boys. [ don't hate other
boys, but like u boys best
Southern Cultivator.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee, is one of
the big Drained men of Mississippi, as
the able management of the institu-
ton over which the presides shows.
He grasps not only the present but
the future, and looks ahead. He is
doing a good and noble work in
training the young men of his State
to intelligent and practical work
upon the farm. Mississippians are
Justly proud of him and of their
College. We hope some day to see
something like it in North Carolina,
but we never can have it while the
State University continues to appro-
pirate the fund arising from the sale
of the lands donated by Congress
for the establishment of an "Agri-
cultural College,"

WORKING THE TIMBER.

Two years ago a tract of land 30
600 acres, in Robson county, was
purchased by a company of capital
lists. They have decided to establish
extensive saw mills at Fair Bluff,
to work off the valuable oak, cypress
and other timbers.-Eachange.
This tract was sold for twelve and
a half cents an acre, much, if not all
of it, susceptible Of drainage, and
much of it pronounced fertile. Does
it not look like the sheerest folly to
be disposing Of such lands, heavily
timbered, too, at such a contemplate
price, when by a little business-like
management they might be made to
bring a reasonable price?
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-06-16
WHAT THE TROUBLE is.

The evil is apparent to all, but it
is not so easy to apply the remedy.
There are too many laws made, and
the good laws r not properly or
efficiently executed. There is too
much legislation to promote person
al or political interests, and too little
attention paid by Legislators to the
interests of the whole people. In
Congress, in u State legislatures,
in our common councils, partisan
feeling originates partisan measures,
and States and communities are
plagued and oppressed by the parti-
san iniquities perpetrated. The party
in power to-day reverses the acts
and doings Of the party which it has
superseded, and when it's misconduct
brings on it popular condemnation,
the party which succeeds it will
change and overturn all that it has
done. Thus will it continue to be
law disrespected and the people
plundered-until the people choose
their Legislators and the interpreters
and executors Of the law, not as the
creatures Of party, but by the stand
ord of fitness and Of good personal
character.-Americdn Cultivdtor.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-06-16
FIGHT INSECTS WITH FIRE.

A bundle of rags, tied to the end
Of a pole, and the rags dipped in
kerosene, makes a formidable weap'
on with which to exterminate the
tent caterpillars on the fruit trees.
A lighted match applied to the rags
makes a blaze that may be managed
safely and easily, and the work may
be done very quickly. Kerosene, if
poured in ant holes, or applied to
the nests Of many kinds of insects,
will be effectual without the aid of
fire. A solution made by dissolving
a tablespoonful Of carbolic acid in a
gallon of water will prove a valuable
adjunct in the hands of a determined
person, as it may be sprinkled freely
anywhere that may be necessary.
We may suggest the use of Paris
green, but it is too dangerous to use
on fruit trees. The liberal use of fire
and carbolic acid will answer all
purposes.-Fdrm, Field and Stock

BOGUS BUTTER.

F. X. Moreland, of New York,
Secretary of the American agricul-
tural and dairy association, writes
to a Congressman concerning War
ner Miller's bill to tax oleomargar-
inc: Experience shows that the
effective police power of the national
government only will prevent the
fraudulent sale Of counterfeit butter,
the most stringent State laws being
persistently evaded, while 10 cents
per pound is less than the difference
between the cost of the fraudulent
compound and the natural butter.
The former is composed mainly of
lard and a be produced for less
than IL cents per pound, while good
butter cannot be made under 20 at
the most favorable time" Mr.. More
land says further that dairy farms
and stocks have deprecated 80 to so
per cent. in value.

HOW is THIS FOR A GIANT?

Someone furnishes the Charlotte
Observer, on authority Of Appleton's
Encyclopedia, the following descrip-
ton of a North Carolina giant:
"Miles Darden, probably the Iarg-
est man on record, was born in North
Carolina in 1898, and died in Hen
derson county, Tenn, January %,
1857. He was Z feet 6 inches high,
and in 1915 weighed 81 pounds. At
his death his weight was a little
over 1000 pounds. Until 1853 he
was active and lively, and able to
labor, but from that time he was
obliged to stay at home, or to be
hauled about in a two horse wagon.
In 1889 his coat was buttoned around
three men, each weighing more than
200 pounds, who walked together in
it across the square at Lexington.
His coffin was 8 feet long, 80 inches
deep, 80 inches across the breast, Is
inches across the head, and IA inches
across the feet"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-06-16
VERY TRUE VERY TRUE.

Southern Industries takes the
ground that if farmers do not occupy
the highest positions in the social
and political circles Of the country it
is due entirely to themselves. There
is no more ennobling occupation, or
one which requires more scientific
and practical knowledge, than agri-
culture, and thosewho qualify them
selves, or are instructed in the sci
have within themselves the
clements necessary to making the
society in which they mingle more
brilliant and desirable than persons
following any other pursuit in life.
With such assurances as these, there
fore, let the noble yeomanry come
forth from their too long continued
retirement, and let the world know
that there is a power behind the
throne which has remained dormant
while it should have been shining.

CHURCH DEDICATION.-The dedicatory
services held in the Broad Street Baptist
Church on last Sunday were largely at
tended and were very interesting and
impressive. Rev. w. r. Gwaltney, of
Greensboro, preached the dedication SER
mon. In the afternoon and evening a
Sunday school mass meeting was ld-
dressed by N. B. Broughton and J. E.
Ray, of Raleigh, and Rev. j. B. Rich
ardson and Rev. S. F. Conrad. The COM
pletion of this building gives Winston
six churches for whites.
Two men, one of whom was or is a
justice of the peace, near Kerners-
vile, have gotten into business with the
United States Government. 1t appears
that the father of one had served in
the war of 1872, and since his death his
widow has been drawing a pension. Two
years ago she died. Since then her son
has been regularly drawing the pension
in the name of his mother, dividing with
VIC SiuHc, WIZ HelpSu I'LL IL up LIS
papers. The pension Office got wind of
this, hence the trouble.
The police received information
Monday that a man named Stipe was
running an underground whiskey bust
ness. Policeman Bradford, armed with
the proper papers, proceeded to the
premises, on third street, in front~of
Hanes Brothers factory, foundfthe door
locked, broke it in and discovered six
kegs of whiskey, eachwith a name upon
it, whichwere taken in charge, but the
proprietor, haYing scented something in

his address. He was equipped for bust
ness With measures ranging from a gal
lon<down to a gill.
