THIRD DAY.
An Immense Crowd Witness
the Races Yesterday.
The Grand Stand Comfortably Fill
ed--Enthusiasm Everywhere.

Yesterday was "every body's day" at
the races and the grand stand was well
filled with an appreciative concourse of
people from this and adjoining towns.
The races were very exciting and the
very air seemed charged with enthusis
asm. The afternoon was delightful, in
fact the weather clerk could not nave
dished up more pleasant variety of
atmosphere if he had tried to. The
ladies were out in force and every one
seemed to imbibe the idea that he or
she bad come there to have Jolly good
time and they meant to have it.
The track was in excellent condition,
as Superintendent Ewing had it watered
in the forenoon and the absence of dust
gave refreshing zest to the races. A
considerable amount Of money changed
hands yesterday, as the betting was quite
spirited.
The music discoursed by the military
band was grand in the extreme, and
taken altogether the Fair grounds was
the most enjoyable place we knew Of
yesterday afternoon.
THE RACES.
The first race was contest between
Alabama owned trotters, and Mr.. G, F.
Sqgg's "Jim" won in three straight heats.
Time 2.5Q. o.50, 0.4Q
A running race of half mile heats fol-
lowed, which was won by Ell Prestios in
two straight heats; Parnsll second. Time
52a seconds.
The free for all race, best in 5, was
interesting and closely contested. Lew
is B., the favorite, won the first two
heats in 2:25; 2:553, but broke up on the
third and was distanced by Rockbottom,
who won three straight heats and the
race. Time, 2:3'; 240; 2:45. Budweiser

Preserving Fence Posts.

In building a fence around our young
orchards, says the New Orleans Picayune,
several years ago we tried many plans for
preserving the posts. Having occasion to
remove the fence this winter we noted the
condition of the posts as follows: Those set
withno preparation were decayod an inch or
mora IN til ckness; those coated with thick
wash Of lime were better preserved. but
were quite seriously attacked by worms;
those posts coated with hot tar were per-
fectly sound as when put in the ground;
those painted with petroleum and kerosene
were equally as sound AMI as good for set
ting Let the posts get thoroug ly dry, and
then, with pan of cheap kerosene and a
whitewash brush, give the lower third of
the post, the part to go into the ground,
two or three applications of the oil, letting
it soak in well ca b time Posts so treated
will not be troubled by worms or insects of
any kind, but will resist decay to a remark
able degree. This We find to b. the.simplest,
easiest, cheapest and best method of preser.

Learn from Others.

OF course there are failures in Florida,
says the Florida Agricultu'ist, and the
only wonder is that these are not more nu-
merous.
In the first place the soil, climate and pro-
ducts OF Florida are entirely different from
those of other sections, and the work requi-
site to achieve success raust necessarily be
different from what the majority of our
immigrants are accustomed to.
Many OF those who come to Florida have
engaged in agricultural pursuits in other
sections, aud labor under the mistaken idea
here as in their former homes; hence the
failure.
New corners should exercise the power of
observation, they should lot belittle the
knowledge they might gain from the most
humble OF their neighbors; while they are
acquiring knowledge from that best of
schools they school of experimenting
should attsmpt to absorb at least a modi-
cum of information from those who have
been in the state longer than they, and
have been over the same road that they
must travel.
Much money and labor is needlessly
squandered by new corners in attempting
things of which they have no knowledge,
and in which success Is impossible unless the
operator has experience or has studied
deeply his subject and the climate and soil he
is cultivating.

Agricultural Education.

The Baltimore american says that edu-
cation to be of value must begin in the
family at tender age. The grain of wheat
first sends out its minutest rootets from the
hidden germ, which, though not much
larger than the head of pin, contains in
itself the roots, the leaves, and all the con-
stituent parts of a well-developed stalk of
wheat. It is there, and what il requires to
reach maturity are its proper elements of
earth, sunshine, air and moisture. So it is
in educating the boy; the little things that
form and mould his character are picked up
by him almost insensibly at very early
age The Spartans, to form warlike habits
in their BOYS, gave them the sword aud
taught its use when, as yet. they were mere
infants, and history records their achieve
ments and success.
Now, it is very desirable to encourage in
our own land the love Of country life. The
cultivation of the earth has elevating ten
denotes, and tends to virtue and morality :;
and though a country boy may be awkward
in his manners, it is rarely that ne is vicious,
unless made SO by bad influences. To go
back to the grain of wheat: To produce
its highest development we throw around it
all those resources that it is possible for us
to give it, relying upon bountiful nature
for the rest We do this when we commit
ted it to the earth, ana at once
Now, we must do the same thing for the
children. Give them, as far as we may,
pleasant homes. Give the girls flowers or
fruits that they may call their own and
show them, by actual work, how to cult
vate and care for them. The boys should,
likewise, be given plot of ground and al
lowed to grow some vegetable or fruit, and
taught how to grow it at profit; and,
when grown, let him sell it and have the re-
ward of his work. A good agricultural
paper should be taken by the family, and
read to the assembled household by the
evening fire, and, if possible, its teachings
explained. These little flower and garden
plots will give more practical and useful in
formation than years OF schooling; the
minds of these little ones will be filled with
thoughts on the growth and structure Of
plants, which will puzzle many of US to an
swer correctly. What do the most learned
of US know about the growth of plant lifel
How is it that one species Of plant will grow
and flourish, and another of a totally diff
ferent nature growing by its side will like
wise reach maturity, and yet they both re-

Rotton Corn and Hog Cholera.

In the great hog-raising west millions Of
hogs die annually of hog cholera. Many
intelligent farmers In the west think that
this disease is produced chiefly by excessive
feeding on corn Possibly they are right.
But, SAYS the New Orleans Picayttne, may
it not be musty and rotton corn that pro
duces so much of that fearful diseasei From
statistics we learn that the western farmers
have every year more or less musty and rot
ten corn, and some years an enormous
amount Of it. They would not dare to feed
even musty corn to a horse, or to horned
cattle or sheep, but it is generally believed
that hogs stomach is ironclad, and his di-
gestive organs 50 vigorous that he may eat
with safety what every other animal either
refuses, or might kill other animals, if they
were to eat filthy food like hog.
We think that much of the hog cholera in
the west comes from musty or rotten corn.
The southern farmers will have an oppor-
tunity to satisfy themselves about this mat
ter during the fall and winter Of 1SSS-s9.
They have great deal of musty and rotten
corn This season, and if hog cholera de-
stroys many hogs in the south between
September and the spring Of 1889 we will
conclude that rotten corn is the cause Of it /;
il not, we will feel convinced that hogs
stomach is copperbound and lronclad.

syrup and Sugar from watermelons.

The Sorghum GfotCerS' Guide says that
in view Of the vast importance of the de-
velopment of the sugar interest of our still
growing population, the fact has been lost
sight of as TO the importance Of tue water
melon for that purpose.
In the watermelon we have at hand a
fruit that can be grown in any corner of
our vast domain, from Maine to Georgia,
north and south of Mason and Dixon'S line.
And if it is sugar or syrup that is wanted,
we have them almost within our grasp.
The writer the past season had some expert
ence in relation to the subject. From a
good melons the pulp was all taken out,
and the juice all pressed out by an Egyp-
tan squsezer or wringer, the same device
as used in that country about 1000 years
ago, placed it in tin vessel, keeping it
gently stirred by slow fire until it came
down to the consistency of syrup. After
allowing it to cool, it was found to be of
good flavor and without the slightest foreign
taste or being in the least Objectionable.
Some very Lice cakes were made Of it and
pronounced excellent. / am not able to
state positively the amount of sugar or
syrup contained in any given quantity, but
it seems to me to be about as much as could
be taken from four times as much beet pulp.
1t is much easier to get at results than from
cane or sorghum; it is an easy crop to raise;
every fence corner could be a melon patch !;
every space between corn rows.

century and half. The families of the
poor will have the consolation that theil
dear ones will be buried decenily and
separately, esch with a cross at the bead of
the grave. After the lapse of eighteen
months they will be able r. to deposit
the bones lin one of the inches
which surround the new burying-
place. where they will remain forever
undisturbed. The new cemetery Is close
beside the beautiful aud well-Anown Campo
Santo, and will be called the Cemetery OF

hold the bones Of six corpses, costs 45f, but
there are also some which may be used for
one, two, or three persons, and these cost
36f. The bones, before icing deposited in

poor will know where to kneel to weep for
their lost ones. The cemetery has already
been consecrated. 1t is wished to open it
with religious ceremony, hut as, on the
average, twenty-five corpses are thrown

Deem or Shallow Flowing?

A writer for the Country Gentleman
thinks all really progressive aud sensible
farmers are now and always have been in
favor of deep blowing at the preparation of
lands for crops. He has discovered that
even old Benjamin Franklin was in favor
of It. for did he not write in his "Poor
Richards Almanac" "Piow deep while slug
cards sleepp Furthermore he was In favor of
getting at it early in the morning Some
claim that Franklin was not the author of
these sayings, but no matter, since he in
dorsed them by giving place place in his
publication without comment.
"Whie sluggards sleep" was probably
added for the sake of the rhyme, but it may
be fguiative expression dsnoting the
necessity of getting in the crops in good
season, by getting I'D early in the morning
and using great diligence to have the land
mellowed and ready for the seed at the
proper time.
Horace Greeley, another printer and
philosoi her, was, no says, for some time
the champion Of deep blowing, but after
ward modified his views to deep stirring
as the soil. He would keep the top soil near
the surface by turning a thin farrow, and
then follow with a slbsoil pillow, or some
attachment to the commol p!ow that would
mellow the subsoil aud leave it, as President
Cleveland said, ''in its place"
The prevailing opinion among farmers at
the present day seems to be that land
should be plowed deep or shallow, according
to the nature and depth of the soil. A deep
Gof ~
deep and a thin soil by blowing shallow.
Nothing has been more surely established
than the improperly of turning thin top
soil to the bottom of deep furrow and
that unless there is given at the time when
it is done heavy top dressing of manure,
there will be a positive damage to the land
and to many succeeding crops. But no
reasonable argument whatever can be adj
duced against deep stirring of the soil at
the preparation.
Even in rich and mellow river bottoms
deep blowing is best, for it keeps larger
quantity of the land aired, sweetened,
warmed, and improved by the sun and the
gases floating in the air, and deep plowIng
buries the weed seeds so deeply that some of
them never germinate, and none of them
get up until the crop has had time to get a
little starU Shallow blowing occasionally
is easier work for the team, and seems to
answer just as well, except that the rubbish
is not buried deep enough to be out of the
way after cultivation of corn crop, and
the weeds are able to get quicker start.
With upland the case is different; the top
soil is thin vegetable mold, the subsoil is
usually compact sterile clay, cold, sour,
and with little capacity to absorb warmth
from the sun. To turn down the thin soil
under a great mass Of this subsoil, is to ruin
the land for one season at least, unless it is
top-dressed with manure. But deep stirring
without lifting the subsoil does nothing of
this kind
