| EMPLOYER AND EMPLoYED-Rev.D DR..
Washington GLADDEN. has an article in the
March Century on "The Strength and
Weakness Of Socialism, IN which he saws:
Instead, therefore, of pulling down the
existing order, as the socialists propose, the
thing to be done is to enlarge its founda-
tions. They are right in saying that al
industrial system whose sole motive power
is self interest, and whose sole regulativc
principle is competition, will end in pande-
monium; but they are foolish in thinking
that humanity will thrive under a system
which discards or cripples these self.regard-
ing forces. What is needed is the calling
into action of the goodwill which is
equally part OF human nature. This
also must be made an integral part of the
industrial system; it must be the business of
the employer to promote the welfare of
his workmen, and the business of the
workmen to promote the Interest of their
employer. The organization Of labor must
be such that tho class cannot prosper
without directly and pcrceptiIy increasing
the prosperity Of the o:hcr. This is the
true remedy for the evils of which the
socialists complain. The reformed needed
is not the destruction but the chrstianiza-
tion Of the present order

OVER 200 FEET PREcIpIcE.-
field, Mass, April IA terriablo disaster
occurred on the Fitchburg Railroad tonight
midway between Bardwell's Ferryand Deer
field Station. The east bound passenger
train from North Adams, due at Greenfield
at Cos =. NJ, went over an cmbau kment
200 feet in height. Six bodies have already
been taken out Of the ruins aud it is not
known how many others have been killed.
The train consisted of Il baggage car, a
smoker, sleeping car, mail car and two
ordinary passenger cars. The point where
the calamity occurred is the most dangerous
point on the road. The track runs on the
edge of an embankment two hundred feet
above Deer6eld river. The bank is steep
and is covered with huge boulders and
masses Of shale rock With which the road
bed has been filled. When the train arrived
at this point the track commenced to settle
nndcr it for distance covering its entire
length. The coaches broke from their
track and went rolling over and over down
the precipice. The engine broke from
the tender, tearing up the track for twenty
feet. Below rolled the Deerfcld river, on
the very edge of which the cars were
thrown. As soon as they struck they
caught fire from the stoves. The shriek Ks
OF the wounded and dying filled the air
and for time the scene was terrible. The
sleeping car was an entire wreck: 1t was
occupied by several passengers, not one Of
whom at this hour are known to have es>
capped injury.

HOW TO PREPARE THE SOIL FOR
T0RACyO

A light gray sandy soil with yellow clay
subsoil is the best, but tobacco of equally
fine quality and flavor is raised on fine white
foury land with like subsoil. Fine, yellow
tobacco can be grown on any light, thin
soil with growth huckleberry, sourwood
chinquepin, persimmon, post oak, black jack,
or either of them. Some of the most suc>
cessful cultivators Of the weed prefer old
fields grown up in pires or covered with
broom sedge; these lands produce the bright
est wrappers, of fine, silky texture, but the
virgin woodland generally gives the desired
texture with more weight and elasticity. In
the tobacco belt proper, prominent farmers
have recently come the conclusion that there
is scarcely farm upon which some spot
flaud may not be found that will produce
fine, yellow tobacco, FROM the Roanoke ito
Cape Fear, and from tho coast to the noun
tains of our own State, aud even far beyond.
New woodland, or piny old field, requires
the same preparation in winter or early
spriog as Tor corn or cotton. Broom sedgo
old field should be broken the fall previous,
and, if possible, the sedge turned under
while green. In March ard April the soil
should be made fine by repeated dragging
and plowing. Now, with shovel plow, lay
off the rows from three to three and half
feet apart, the stronger soil requiring the
wider rows. If homemade manure is to
be used-sta bic and COW pen-let 1t be
mixed and scattered thinly in the drill>fur-
row, so as to go over the whole crop area,
and follow with the concentrated fertilizer
at the rate Of Of 200 to $50 lbs, per acre.
If none of the former is used, apply the
latter at the rate of 300 to $50 lbs, accord
ing to strength of soil. The land is tho q
bedded with a hoe made into hills three feet
apart from center. Smooth off these until
they present fiat surface of twenty-five or
twenty inches in diameter aud "pat" in the
center with the hoe Now they are ready
for settiug the plants when the proper season
arrives. The making of hills with the hoe
is an expensive and tedious process, but is
still almost universally practiced.-A North

TERRACINa.-Editor Cotton I'lant.-I
want to say something to encourage the
farmers of Sou th Carolina to terrace tn cir
aud. I see Subscriber has given infor-
nation on terraciug, which is very good
Terraciug is the second best thing that was
ever introduced into the State of South
Carolina. The passage of tho stock lay is
the first, as it causes all vegetable matter to
be left on thetsoil; terracing hold, all the
fertilzing properties or rich mould that
would waste away, and holds all tho richest
that kind Providence sends to make the
crop.
l thought the first account of terracing I
saw in the Southern Cuhivator that there
was too much said-but the half has not
been told yet.
l look back three years aud feel astonish-
cd that 1 did not have more sense than to
out bitches all over the field, and run the
rows with them so that every row could car
ry all the water that fell in it, ali tho soil
aud fertilizers-for everydrop Of muddy
water is at least Ia soil and fertilizing pro-
perties, and if terraciug is done you can
save all the water that falls.
When commenced terraciug I did not
cut off all the surface water that collocte d
above the field which broke over some of
them, so found that had neglected tho
main part. In cutting off all surface waters
1 have found in crossing over low places or
wash es that it is best to point up-say 4
inches rise in II feet from the gull ~ to the
centre of the gulley, as that much fall will
draw the water from the low places.
will now say something about levels.
The patent levels are good, but farmer
who has saw aud hammer can make one
in one hours time at cost of from S1.5O
to $500 that one hand can beat two in
leveling. Here is good form: One scant.
ling /! inches thick, by 3 inches wide and
II feet long; an upright board inches wide,
one inch thick and Al or 5 feet high and
lap on in the centre; brace on each side
place the level in the centre perpendicutar-
ly on the beam aud about level with the
angle. Tack on two Gladstone on each
side to hold the level in place, with button
to turn over the level similar to door but.
ton. Round the ends of the bottom piece
80 it can be pushed along over the
ground. If it has been broken you must
know the marks TO run by. take two
horse plow and run four furrows to terrace,
then shovel and build up the low places
a little higher than the other.
In raising grain l run burrows, then
SOW grain and place in and run the other 9
burrows; for corn or cotton 1 lay the row,
off and bed out on them, then I put in
gnano and bed back so that the terr ices are
but little wider than the ether middes SO
that nothing is lost, or let them grow up
in grass and cut it; this will do Just as well
and hold water better.
