comparison with what was nsa%
formerly. Furman adopted a formnla
of his own, adapted to the reouire
ments of the soil and crops he cuI,i
waited, and pursued what he called
the intensive system of cultivation
He studied the character of the soil
it's adaptability or lack of adanta'
bility for certain crops, and acted
accordingly. By analyses carefully
made he learned the constituent
Elements Of the soil, and the constit.

to hlant. If the soil was deficient
in any of the plant elements he fed

belief: Lands that were considered
worthless for agricultural purposes
he brought up to an astonishing
state of fertility, and improved them
year after year. His method was to
reduce the acreage and increase the
produce, making one acre yield as
much hs two, three, or four acres
UNDER the old methods, and he pur.
sued fhis system unwaveringly up
to tHe time CT his death, a couple
years ago. He gave his formula,
however, to his brother farmers, and
those Of them who have followed his
example have profted by it. They
cultivate fewer acres with better
results, labor less, make more money.
sand do not harrass themselves by
going into debt as they did formerly.
They buy only the necessary chemi-
cals to compost with, at a small
figure, run, so to speak, their own
fertilizer establishments, and are in
this respect Independent, while the
lands they cultivate are constantly
improved, and grow better every
year. They farm with system, with
intelligence, and the result is less
drudgery to them, more money in
their pockets, more c%ontentment
and happiness on the farm. What
reform in old methods has done for
THE farmers of Georgia, it will do
for the farmers of North Carolina,
who must abandon the excessive
use of commercial fertilizers, the
indiscriminate use Of them, and de-
pend more upon theirown brainsand
homemade fertilizers. This is the
true policy and the only one that
will succeed.

THE CROP.

B~radstreet's trade review for No
,vember, speaking of the tobacco:
"The special tobacco crop report
Indicates that the Western leaf crOn
will aggregate about 235, O0O hogs
heads, against $50, 600 hogsheads in
1885; that there has been a decline
in the yield of about 80 per cent. in
the bright Virginia and North Car
DINA leaf, and of about 100000
pounds or nearly Is per cent, in the
seed leaf crop, mainly through the
falling off in Wisconsin against the
output of last year.

many days during the year 1885 did
you go to town when you had no
particular business there? How
many "sales", have you attended
How many days have you spent
hunting and fishing? How many
days or hours have you neglected
your business, to talk with some
man who had smoothing particular

A. O. u. w.

The first anniversary banquet Of
the A. o. U. w. took place at the
Golling House, on Monday night last,
and was a great success. The attend
ance of members and invited guests
was large. About ten o'clock the
citizens present marched to the din
ing room and partook of a sumptuous
repast. The large and handsome
dining room was then cleared of
tables; chairs were brought in, and
the members and guests again invited
this time to choice musical feast.
Before the musical entertainment
commenced, A. r. Mcdonald, for and
in behalf Of the A. o. U. W., pre-
sented to Mr.. Golling a handsome
gold badge, which bore the following
inscription: Presented by the men,
hers of Pine Forest Lodge No. 84."
He accompanied the present with re-
marks very appropriate. 1t was a
testimonial to show the appreciation
with which the members regarded
Mr.. Golling-he having served as
Master Workman of the lodge for

Hard Times Carnival.

That clothes help considerably to
make man look respectable or other
wise, could readily be seen at the roll
Ter rink last Wednesday evening.
The occasion was hard times carni-
val, and every person who contested
for the prize had done his best to re-
present the character of a genuine
tramp, and hard looking set of
tramps they appeared. Their gar
ments had long seen their best days.
What responsibility and comfort had
been in them had long vanished and
they were truly collection of rags.
And yet it was no caricature. Its
counter part can be seen at any of
the great cities. 1t was true repre-.
sentation of what is often seen in this
country. Yet, to the spectators, who
knew that it was but masquerade
and that the maskers had underneath
their rags warm clothing and full
stomachs, the sight was very amusing
Some of the maskers were so hideous-
~ arrayed, that person was apt to
draw back as they came too close. They
looked as if diseases and death were
perched about their ragged and dirty
habiliments. Some of the tramp
maskers had so far forgotten the char
acter they represented, as to appear
in clothes with patches sewed. One
had on paper collar, another carried
an old valise. They must have been
heightened tramps-sort of dude like.
The winners of prizes were called up
on the floor, and were given an elo-
quent speech by H. Carpenter, who,
in behalf Of the management, present.
ed the prizes. They were told they
would receive, as advertised, a suita-
BILE present. The winner Of the prize
for mems costumes was then given a
pair of mitts, and considering his
ragged appearance, were certainly
very appropriate. The lady was pre-
sented with small tin tea pot.

Base Ball on Rollers.

On Friday night last, at the roller
rink, a game of base ball was played
between the Mystic and Red Stocking
base ball clubs. Time was called at
$50, the Mystics at the bat. One
run was made, one man being put out
at third and two struck out. The
Red Stockings scored two runs, one
man struck out, one was put out at
first, and one at second.
Second innings. The Mystics piled
up three runs, two men struck out at
first. Two runs were made after two
men were out. In this innings the
Red Stockings got goose egg, one
man being put out at first and two
men struck out.
Third innings. The Mystics got
their goose egg, two men being put
out at first and one near home base.
The Red Stockings: Two men were
Oh bases. The ball was knocked up to
the ceiling and disappeared. The
Mystics believed that the ball had
been caught by one of the Chinese
lanterns. The two Red Stockings
who were OH the bases, then ran in,
thus tieing the game. After awhile
the ball mysteriously appeared. Some
said it fell in corner of the room
behind the stove. Another report
claimed some spectator picked it up.
Two men were then put out. A
third man was at first base, he start
ed for the second. The prospects
were that he would have been thrown
out if he had. One of his side skat-
ed up to him, and pulled him back to
1st. The Mystics claimed this was
not right and refused to play any
longer, and the umpire gave the game
to the Red Stockings, the rule in such
cases being to make the score 0 to O.

Messrs. Snow & Huber, a shrewd
business firm of Pella, Iowa, recog-
nizing the fact that farming lands in
Alpena and adjoining counties are in
the near future destined to blossom
as the rose," have purchased, and now
offer for sale through their agent,
Thos. White, 10000 acres in lots to
suit actual settlers, and at a lower
price than any lands offered ON the
western blizzard swept praries, or in
the alleged tropical climate, where
Oranges freeze ere they mature.
Messrs. Snow q Huber have also re-
quested their agent to place their
name as regular subscribers to the
ARGUS, it being in their judgment,
the paper most devoted to the agri-
cultural interests of Alpena, and the
shore counties generally.

Peterson's Magazine for February opens
with a beautiful steel-engraving, after the
celebrated picture of "Cinderella," by the
great English artist, Sir John Miliais.
Then there is large colored steel fash
template a double-size colored pattern In
embroidery, from the Art School two
other full-page engravings; and about
fifty smaller woodcuts. Such a wealth
of Illustration is unexampled. The nov
elet, "The Cedar Swamp Mystery" be-
comes more powerful as 1t proceeds. "a
Cinderella Of To- Day" is one OF the most
charming love-stories we ever read. Be-
sides these, there are numerous other
stories, novelets, etc, etc.; and no maya
zine gives such original stories as "Peter-
son." AS we have often said, every lady
should take this magazine; for it is alike
refined and useful; and the price, Two
Dollars year, places. it within the reach.
To clubs, the terms are even lower. Spe-
cimens are sent gratis, If written for, so
that there may be no deception. Address
