SOUTH CAROLINA NEGROES
ORGANIZING FOR THEIR MUTUAL
PROTECTION
In Connection With the Knights Of
LabOr-The Legislature Pro.
posing to Prevent 1t,

INV York, December PA
Charleston Is. o. special to the World
SAYS: The bill now before the Legis.
laiure to prevent the organization OF
coloTed laborers in the agricultural
sections into Knights of Labor, is caus-
ing a great c3mmotion among the
leaders of the colored people Of the
State. The Rev. j. Wofford White,
one. Of the most intelligent colored
preachers Of the State, has issued az
address in which he says that this bill
has for its aim the grinding down and
driving to the wall OF the negro labor
ers.
In closing his address Mr.. White
SAYS: "From the standpoint Of equity,
COZ eidsrng the circumstances sur
rounding all laborers, the negro is tie
moot excuaAble in forming orgeniza-
lions of legal kind 10 better his con-
dition. Do the white people imagine
that By threats they can keep away
from the negroes agents or organizers,
and in this way by force keep them
ia this state or prevent them being or
ganiA I'd for mutual protection? Ii 80,
they reckon without their host. The
great drawback to the negroes lies in
the fact of their being too easily salts
fed. The shylocks Of this State today
are the farmers who want the crops
made and gathered without paying
reasonable price for labor. They can
reduce wages TO the lowest point, and
IL they are asked for justice it is re-
fused, and when the negroes organize
for mutual protection this is pro
nounced Illegal, and who dares to re-
sist it is to bs iDcarcerated in prison.
South Carolina, your glorious flag
trails in the dust. II the
white people desire contented popu-
lation Of lab orers, let them give tie
negroes fair treatment. They will
have no desire to go away. No al
lursment can charm them away. The
truth is, the treatment the negro la.
borers are receiving has brought them
into abjsct poverty. No change OF
condition ca country can bring them
to worse condition, hence they arc
essily persuaded away by the seduc-
tive promises of immigration agents.
Should the bill now pending become
a law, there will be Wholesale emigra-
ton from the State. There is class
OF men that get nearer the hearts and
sympathies Of the HeRross than any
body. Hitherto the influence of this
class has been usad TO keep them here
and hope for better things and times.
When the negro preachers Of the Cos
psl say 10 their hocks, Arise and lot
us CO. there will b. waiting in South
Carolina. Rlchels will bring forth
their children and refuse to ba COM

Air for Cream, Du, no, FOR batter.

writer for Canadian journal, the Farm
ers Advocate, says THE old-fashioned way
Of setting milk in shallow pans should at
once be discontinued Il is impossible to
make fine favored butter where the milk is
exposed to the influences Of the air." This
is a mistake. As good butter as ever was or
can be made has been made by 'the old
fashioned way Of setting milk in shallow
pans" The only serious objection TO this
method is the amount Of labor il entails in
setting milk and washing and airing milk
pans, and requiring the temperature Of the
milk-room to be regulated. This system will
not work well anywhere and everywhere. IL
necessitates the fitting up of q milk-room.
But, 80 far as results are concerned, there is
nothing better than the od-fashioned way of
setting milk in shallow pans One reason
why il secures good results is the fact that II
gives a chance for the thorough oxidation Of
the cream while II Ia rising. Yet the writer
for the Advocate declares that ''it Is impossi-
BILE to make fne-Havored butter where the
milk is exposed to the influence Of the air"
Such influence will be only beneficial II the
air is pure II impure, Of course injury will
follow corresponding TO the impurities. The
oxygen Of the air mingles with the fats of
the cream and develops havor-tbe old-fash-
toned butter flavor, accompanied by the odor
known as "rosy." Without this it is neces-
sary to sour the cream and secure the flavor
produced by acidulation with some oxydation.
With shallow setting in open air, we have the
flavor produced by oxydation, accompanied
by that of a slight acidulation. This ia an
important difference. The lack Of oxidation
is what makes elderly people sigh for good
old-fashiontd butter" As soon as the butter
is churned the less exposure TO the air the
better. Airing the butter, unlike airing the
cream, deterorates the flavor hence, air
your cream all you can in pure air, but keep
the air as much as possible from the butter,
and let it be sailed and packed as soon as
possible and with as little exposure to the air.

Agricultural.


We have selected spsringly for these col
umns from the bulky talk Of agricultural
writers about silos and enssge. 1t is still
question whether the silo increases the value
OF fodder over the same in the dry state suf-
fcienty to pay for the Extra expense in hand
ling Yet it must be admitted that on the
whole, ensilage appears to be rather gaining
in favor. Chemists have undertaken to show
that the nutrtive value Of fodder is as well
preserved by drying as in the silo, but the
testimony Of very large majority Of all who
have fed ensilage is that something is gained
by the enslaging process. Scarcely any that
have built silos have allowed them TO fall into
disuse, and the whole number filed is slowly
increasing year by year. While the claims
for the silo are not now as extrsvagant rs
they we're q few years ago, II looks more like
something that may become permanent in our
system of agriculture. 1t is found that the
silo need not be an expensive structure Of &C.
mented brick or stone, but that old barns or
sheds, or portion OF the barn, may be cheap
ly converted into something that will answer
the purpose nearly as well and, when more
convenient, it may be entirely above ground.
If it is desired to ensilage too small quaint
ty to pay for the use of horse power to cut
the stalks, they may be preserved whole. The
fodder from the ordinary corn crop can be
put in the silo after the ears have been taken
from the stalks. The Weekly Press says that
as a rule corn for ensilage is planted so close
ly that ears in quantity worth preserving are
not produced. But for two seasons past some
farmers have planted corn as usual, and when
the ears began to glaze they have gone
through the field and picked them of, throw
ing them on the ground to ripen in the husks,
Immediately after, while the stalks were yet
green, they were cut and pitted. 1t is claim
ed that the grain ripened perfectly, while the
stalks made silage of the best quality. 1t
should be added that it is not now considered
necessary to retain all the moisture Of the
stalks. Many farmers cut over their entire
field, allowing the stalks to lie on the ground
and cure meanwhile if the weather is good,
and some even stand the stalks up in shock
before beginning to fill the silo. The stalks
wilt but do not fermeut, and are lighter to
handle without losing any of their nutritive
value. This practice makes a large force I'M
necessary, and the hurry and drive of the old
system are escaped. Slow filing too, is rec
commended by the most experienced.

A Corn ExDerIn,ent,

Some years ago tried an experiment with
phosphate on four rows of corn, using one
spoonful in hill On four rows beside of
the phosphated l used no fertilizer, the
ground otherwise being alike prepared.
difference in growth and color was noticed
all the season in favor of the phosphate. In
the fall the corn of each was carefully meas
ured and found to be the same. then came
to the conclusion that fertilizers would in
crease the fodder but not the grain Since
then tried guano, and again came TO the
same conclusion. Last year l tried another
experiment in another way with another
brand of fertilizers. My land was all fitted
alike by using stable manure on the surface
and narrowing in. l commenced on one
side of the field, using one handful of the
fertilizer to each hill, until all of the fertil-
izer was used. l was then in the middle of
the field. l then mixed hen manure and
ashes of equal parts in dry state and appli-
ed an equal amount in bulk, one handful to
each hill. This l have always regarded as
being an excellent fertilizer for any and all
crops. These fertilizers were we'll spread in
each hill and well covered before dropping
the corn, For several weeks after the corn
came up there was an astonishing difference.
Forty rods away people would ask me what
made such difference in my corn When
fall came the last four rows of the phosphat-
stocks, then the next four rows, fortified
with hen manure and ashes, were cut and
stocked, making 10 stocks Each row of
stocks was husked separately and assorted
into three lots First, good, sound corn sec
ond, seed corn third, poor corn. All Of it
was weighed. The phosphated rows gave
me 537 lbs. good seed 10 lbs poor, G24
lbs, making in all, Gl24 lbs. The other
gave me in good, 275 lbs. ; seed, lbs.
poor 1873 lbs, making AGA lbs In this case
1t is clear that the fertilizer increased the
yield of corn aside from the stover would
say in addition that the phosphated poor
corn was all sound and ripe, while the othor
was not and more, the first was at least one
week earlier, making a large difference in
favor Of the phosphate. II l do not mistake
in my calculation, this phosphate, used in
this way, paid for itself twice over, once in
the extra amount of feed and then in the ex
ira grain. l now look upon commercial fer
tilizers in different light from what have
before. Putting on the quantity l did car,
ried the corn through the entire season and
10 increased the grain. II people would
double the Dose the last half would pay
them more than twice what the first does
that is, II my experiment is conclusive. Tim.

Farmer.
