SYMPTOMS OF INsAN1TY.-."No man is
an infallible Judge of insanity. It is too
full of unexpected and incredible freaks to
allow of any rule to be established about
it. Nevertheless there are general rules
of mental disturbance that may safely be
followed. Paresis is the disease that puz-
zles US all. It has a limitless variety of
manifestations, and may go on for years
without the sufferer being anything more
than what we call eccentric. But it will
break bounds sooner or later, and declare
itself in melancholy or dangerous madness.
I know of hundreds Of paresis patients
who would pass for sane in any crowd, yet
not one of them is safe to set loose, for it
cannot be foretold at what moment they
may become entirely Irresponsible n
dangerous. You must remember that par
esis is a disease that is never cured. 1t
must increase with time. / have known
people to take a patient away from the
asylum apparently cured, and a month or
two later beg US to take him back. Sane

HE DID Nor REDUCE Fl BILL.-A
man who had just set up in the hardware
business and who had been a clerk where
the eccentric millionaire, Stephen Glrard,
had been in the habit of trading, applied
to him for a share of his patronage. Gil
rard bought of him, but when the Dill was
sent in he found fault and marked down
the prices. 49,,
sCask of nails" he growled, (which l
was offered for so and so. You nave
charged so and so and you must take 1t
off"
II cannot do it," said the young mer-
chant.
"But you must do it," roared Girard:
81 cannot and will not" was the final
reply.
Girard boiled out, apparently in a rage,
but soon after sent a check for the whole
bill. The young man began to relent and
saw to himself: "Perhaps he was offered
them at that price, but it is all over now;
I am sorry I did not reduce the bill o
get it out of him on something else. His
trade would have been worth a good deal
to me-"
By and by Girard came again and gave
him another order. The young man was
very courteous and said he was almost
sorry he did not reduce the former bill.
"Reduce a BILL" exclaimed Glrard,

you again. I merely meant to see II you
had cheated me."-Detrot Free Press.

LARGER HARyESTS ON SMALLER FIELDS.

LARGER HARNESTS UN MAILED FiEhDo'
Many farmers do not understand how
to reduce their fields and increase their
harvests. I do not intend to 60 into q
long and labored scientific exposition OF
the means and methods required TO &C
complish this, but propose to give some
plain, practical advice to govern the lar
mer who may determine to adopt, as a
rule of action, smaller fields and larger
harvests.
LIST. Begin by laying off one-half of the
land O have usually cultivated and Sc
cure it from stock by a good fence. When
this is done realize that your great object
is to make that half of your farm produce
more the first year than the whole did the
last wear. Now 60 earnestly and indus
triously to work to make this result GER
tain.
I'd. Gather together in n common
mass everything which may help to form
q valuable compost. TO prevent waste
place your material for the compost heap
In a ditch dug for the purpose, and INTO II
dump all the scrapings from your wood
yard, stable, cow and sheep lots, n IN
fact, every other available substance.
Keep this up until your ditch is nearly
filed, when you should prepare q similar
receptacle for the future accumulatlons.
The compost mass should be kept sum-
GENTLY moist to promote Fermentation ;
cover it 80 as to protect it from the sun,
and also secure it from the rains.
Sd. If you raise cotton to any extent, see
to it that all the seed, except those re-
quired for the next years planting, are
returned to the soil by which they were
produced. Avoid the folly of selling to
the oil mills unless you are sufficiently
near to substitute the cotton seed meal or
cake for the whole seed, and in such guam
titles as will give you the advantage in
the exchange. u
9TH. Turn over all of the land in the fall
which you intend to cultivate the follow
ing wear, being careful to cover all the
vegetable accumulations that are on the
surface.
9Th. Apply your compost and other Ter
tilizers (f the compost heaps are not sum
cient) early in the year so that when tne
time for planting comes you may put ~
O il seed with the assurance that your lana
Is possessed of more than double the pro-
ducing power of the last year, and you
will be likely to realize a greater harvest
from half the land, half the labor
half the expense involved in the produc-
ton of last years crop.
9Th. Continue to increase the fertility OF
your land, from year to year, Tor nVe
years, and at the end of this period you
can estimate your farm at 500 per acre,
instead of S. or $40, which was its intrin-
sic and commercial value when you adopt,
ed as a rule of action, Smaller fields n
larger harvests." You may also congratu-
late yourself that you have increased your
harvests at much less labor and expense,
having had abundant opportunity to i'm
prove your buildings and pay greater at
%tention to your domestic animals, fowls,

aas-A careful study of the census report
shows that the average crops on the farms
ofthis country is exceedinglysmall scarce
" more than paying the cost of produc-
ton, and compelling the owners to prac-
tice close economy to support their faml-
lies. If we as carefully study the farmers
and their methods, seeking the cause, we
shall find that in no other business is SO
little thought used or so little time spent
in preparing for it's successful prosecution:
Farming is run, as it were, in a series Of
ruts; certain crops are planted at stated
times in q certain way, simply from force
of habit, or because such happens to be the
custom of the community. A failure is
often made of a wheat crop on land espe-
cially adapted to potato culture; barley
is grown at a loss on land that would pro-
duce magnifcentan and paying crops of oats.
The cause of all this is simply a lack of the
knowledge of the constituents of the soil,
their adaptation to different plant CROWNS;
to a lack of sufficient thought on these
matters.

sense. In concluding Mr.. Perry says.
Lastly, the farmer must appreciate the
Importance of persistent, industrious ap-
plication to his farm. No business man,
Whether mechanic or merchant, can eX-
pect to. make a success in his vocation
Without unremitting application. The
push, energy and devotion to business
displayed by the active business men of
live cities is a standing reproach as well as
an example to us farmers. Keep up with
the progressive age. Talk about no money

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1888-01-04

THE TIME TO APPLY MANURE.-The
proper time to apply manure IS IN the late
fall or winter. Our grandfathers used TO
think there was no time to spread manure
but in the spring. They were right then,
but if we think so now, we are wrong.
Why? Things have changed since then.
They had more snow in winter and more
rain in summer, both of which have a
great effect upon the soil. Then the win
ter was q very busy time of the year;
besides their chores, they had husking and
threshing to do, which was done with the
ld-fashioned fail. There was wood to
chop and countless other things to DO by
hand, which are now done by machinery.
Very many objections will be raised to
winter application. Some saythat manure
spread in the fall loses a great part OF its
strength. How can it? Iii soon covered
by snow, and what would evaporate, does
not amount to much anyway. Plant food
does not evaporate. Then you say per-
haps on some soils it may leach. 40
not think you eyer knew of a case OF the
kind in land that was titled. 1t may leach
left in piles or in a barnyard, or under
the caves; those are the places where
teaching occurs. Then, you say II spread
in the snow, the best part of the manure
will wash off in the spring. This very
happens. The snow melts gradu'
ally, and the ground is thawing at the
time, and it takes up the plant food
as fast as it comes in contact with it. l
should not advise anyone to spread ma
nure on a steep hillside in the winter,
neither would I advise you to spread land
that was very much sloping on top of a
hard crust of snow !; there are exceptions
to all things. But brother farmers, you
will save money in more ways than one by
spreading the manure in the fall or winter.
In the first place you will save teaching
and other wastes in the barnyard; you
will saw time, which is money, and your
crops will be enough better to pay forall the
trouble.-M. Davis, Windham county, Vt.
