FARMER.

Several friends have informed me that
some Of the supporters of the Republican
candidate for Congress in this district,
in order to harm the Democratic party.
are circulating report that said in Il
public speech at Marsh S store last Mon
Fay night, that "any white man who
voted for Browne had black skin and
kinky hair" or words to that effect
Now, this is Il lie out of whole cloth, us
every man knows who was there and
heard me. What I said was this: "rhat
Mr.. Browne was not only running on
a Republican platform. hut that he WAS
a Republican of Republicans, nomina-
ted by q Republican Convention; and,
that if elected to Congress, he would be
elected by Il constituency a large ma
jority of whom do not have white skin
or wear long straight hair" l have
never publicly or privately said q harsh
word against any white man who III
tends to vote for Mr.. Browne, some of
whom are my warm friends. Equally
false is the report that apologized for
the sharp language l used to the few
rowdies who at Marsh store attempted
to prevent me from speaking. When I
learned that one of the men who were in,
gagged in this disgraccful plot to thrnt-
tie free speech was a son of my friend,
Capt. Jno w. Marsh, at whose invita-
tlon | had gone there to speak, eX-
pressed my regret that Capt. Marsh had
been placed in such an unpleasant po-
sition by this Characteristic Republican
performance.

Profitable Farming.

Capt. Spencer d. Fletcher, who
adopted the four fell system of farm
ing six years ago, allows two fields each
year to be in clovtr-One clover field is
cut first for hay, the second crop is
tllreshed for clover seed; and the yield
this year WAS two and three-fourths
bushels per acre, The cost of producing
this crop is very little, and the yield
much larger than grain crops or even
sweet potatoes sold in October. The
second year of the clover it is grazed,and
in tile fall plowcd under.
In order to get the land started in
clover, Capt. Fletcher saved the expense
of one hand aud one horse. 10y being able
to dispense with these. which was about
two hundred dollars year, and this
sum was annually invested in fertilizers
which las paid well, as it has more
than doubled the capacity of his farm to
produce.
Capt Fletcher thinks the five field is
much to he preferred to four-eyclusive
farming-and where trucking is added
six fields would be better still, Ole to he
devoted to this purpose.
