the direction of the professors, were
transformed into verdant grass n
clover fields, rich grain and cotton
fields. gardens and orchards, yielding
abundantly, with cattle, hogs u
sheep of imported breeds, with
creameries for the farm dairy and
for the use of neighboring farmers,
making in all a. model farm ina
would do credit to any country. The
result has been a thorough demon
stration of the fact that there is no
such thing as absolutely worn out
land, and further, that the lands OF
Mississippi are adapted to lines OF
agricultural industry that a short
while ago were regarded as impossl-
BILE. It has encouraged people to en-
gage in those new lines Of industry
and has opened avenues of profit to
them that they never thought OF be-
fore. All around the college may
be seen green pastures wherein
browse cattle of good blood, while
milk and butter and beef have be-
come abundant, where but a few
years ago they were brought from
other points for the consumption OF
the family. And thus the good work
goes on under prudent, far-seeing,
sensible men, who + not only teach

farmers, but the people Of thelwhole

BOGUS BUTTER.

The Dairy interest IS yet in it's in
fancy in the South, hence we have
not the same interest in the measures
now pending before Congress for
the suppression of fraudulent imita-
tons of butter, as many of the North
ern States. Nevertheless, there are
thousands of pounds of this abomi-
nable stuff brought into our own
state annually and sold to our un-
s%uspecting people, as genuine butter.
If Congress fails to pass proper laws
to protect the farmers and dairymen
in the prosecution of their legiti-
mate trade, and to protect the con-
sumers against this imposition, then
it becomes the duty Of our Legisla-
ture to require at least, that every
package claiming to be butter and
sold on ourmarkets shall be distinctly
marked with the name and address
of the manufacturer and a clear
statement of the different articles
which enter into it's composition.
And as a further guarantee against
fraud, our State Chemist should be
required to analyze these vile COM
pounds from time to time, and pub
fish the result of his Investigations
to the people.
In u issue of the 23d ult, we
gave a partial list Of the articles
used in making this bogus. butter
and with the average North Caro-
linian there need be no further leg
islation to suppress it in our State
than an honest statement on the
package of what it is composed. If
Congress has not "the constitutional
right'-ifi it be "an Infringement on
the States prerogative," then let the
State come forward and do it's duty.
Honest trade and fair competition
is what the people want.

WEATHER

We remember to have read years
ago of a record kept by an old
French mariner of his observations
of the weather, covering a period of
service on the seas Of fifty-one years.
He deduced from these the follow
ing in regard to the weather: If
the fourth and fifth days of the new
moon be alike then, eleven times out
of twetve, the weather during the
whole moon would be of the same
character. If the fourth and sirtA
days be alike then, fifteen times out
of slrteen. the weather for the whole
moon would be the same.
1t would be interesting for some
OF our young readers to keep a re-
cord, on this basis, and report to
HE PROGRESSIVE FARMER at the end
OF the year. Who will do it?

WHAT 1T HAS DONE.

W. have on several occasions re-
ferred to the agricultural college at
Starkeville, Mississippi, and to the
good it has done and is doing in edu-
eating, for the farm, so many young
men, who themselves in ~after-life be-
come educators, by precept and exam
pie, OF their brother farmers. But
this school is doing still another good
work. 1t is EDUCATING the public.
1t has demonstrated the agricultural
possibilities of Mississippi. The
managers began by buying seven
hundred acres Of land near Starke-
vile, poor land, worn out land,
land considered worthless by many
for agricultural, purposes. It was
feared that it would be impossible to
do anything on such a barren spot,
and that such a beginning foreboded
failure for the college. But the man.
ayers ofthat institution builded more
wisely than the public knew. They
had a motive aside from the mere
cheapness of the land in selecting
land that was regarded as worthless.
The object was to demonstrate by
practical work that poor land "a
be made good, and worn out land
restored to fertility by judicious
management and intelligent farm
ing. In a few years those cold fields"

A GLOOMY o

The outlook for the Southern
planter and farmer this year is not
a bright one. The rains which have
done so much damage have been
general in all the States east OF the
Mississippi, from the Potomac to the
Gulf, while in some of them the fire.
quent and almost unprecedented
treshets in some of the streams have
not only destroyed the growing
crops but the lands also upon which
they grew, washing off the soil and
leaving the hard unproductive sub
soil bare and naked. In this section
of country the lowlands have been
frequently flooded, and lands which
usually bear abundantly will not
return the seed that was sown or
planted upon them. South Of us the
cotton fields are covered with grass,
the continued rains preventing the
hands from keeping it down. 1t is
not a story of local distress alone, it
is general. But in the face of all
this our farmers are bearing up
bravely, even %cheerfully, hoping for
the best and resolved to make the
best out of the worst. This is the
right spirit. What can't be helped
must be borne, and what must be
borne should be borne as cheerfnlly
as one can. And after all, even if
the worst come, the crops prove a
failure, and the hard labor Of the
year be lost, and the hopes built
upon them blasted, it may not be

1t may possibly be one of the in

1t is hard on all. 1t is hard to see
fields of grain washed away by the
relentless rains or drowned by the
spreading waters. 1t is hard to feel
thattthe labor of months has been
in vain, and that nothing is to
