GREEN GRASS FOR POULTRY.

Let fowls be confined for some days,
and on giving them their liberty
what is the first thing after their feed
that they seek for? Grass. It is as
tonishing how much of it they will
eat. I keep a small flock, and believe
in high feeding and have eggs con-
stantly. When snow is on the ground
[ clear off a space of some rods so that
my fowls can get grass to eat, and be-
lieve that it pays.
A hen is a restless bird and is con-
stantly picking and seeking for food.
A grass plot furnishes them exercise
and material unknown to man but
adapted to their reproducing needs.
The talk of hens being too fat to lay,
l don't believe in. 1 give three full
meals a day of wheat and corn with
warm meal, with plenty of fresh warm
water and their liberty. I have more
eggs than my neighbors and very fat
hens, but non too fat to lay.
Half-starved hens cannot lay. In
order to produce an egg every day
they must have something to make it
of. With plenty of feed, water, shell
and grass for a relish for the hens,
any n can have plenty of eggs

TO HUSBANDS.

A lady correspondent, in the Farm
and Fsresade, addresses the head of the
household as follows !:
Husbands, look to the four-barrel;
see that it is well filed; that wife will
not have to tell you half dozen times,
and then 60 herself, or send n Of
the girls, to the nearest neighbors, to
get -four enough to finish the next
meal with, and then take a scolding
because the dinner is late. See to the
meat, too, that there is meat to cook
plenty of it, and the kind your wife
can eat. [ know of men who never
look into the four-barrel, who never
see to the meat-tub or the potatoes, or
anything of the kind, and who will
say, when told of it, that they think
it is so strange how soon a barrel of
-four, or a side of bacon, or a few bush
els of potatoes disappear. For my
part, [ think men ought to think of
this before they marry. [ do not see
how they a expect a good meal
cooked with nothing to cook it in, if
she had anything to cook. So look to
this, husbands, and you will always
find a good, wholesome and palitable
meal set before you.

A NEW PEPPER FROM CHINA.

The new Pepper from China, which
has been christened Celestial pep
per-" is one of the most ornamental
varieties grown. Up to the time the
pods are fully ripe they are of a deli
cate creamy yellow hue, and when
fully grown change to a vivid scarlet.
This striking contrast in color renders
the plant a beautiful object as well as
a useful one.
Seedmen who have grown this pep
per on their W grounds have cata-
logued it this year with their novel
ties and specialties. Burpee says of
it: "The plant sets its peppers very
early and continues until frost, branch
ing freely and bearing profusely. It
is wonderfully productive; the peppers
are all carried upright, are of superior
quality and of fine sharp flavor"

GARDEN SEEDS.

One of the most important points
in the success of the Kitchen Garden
is the purchase of the best seeds. If
a bean stalk in one case produces 20
pods. and from better seed you get a
stalk which produces 40 pods of
equal or better size, you can realize at
once the advantage. In many a gar
den, from some unaccountable cause
the produce is the minimum, when it
should approach always very near the
maximum.
In some Of the seed catalogues we
read very large claims for a certain
description of seed. It will cost per-
haps a few cents more than you would
be forced to pay for the commonest
variety; but it will pay you at the
end of the season twenty times over
for the additional cost.
Often, farmers care nothing about
the quality of the seed they purchase.
If it is a squash they want, they buy
anything that bears that name; or if
it is Lima Beans, anything named
thus is satisfactory. And thus through
the whole catalogue of plants. We
say, buy the best. Send for cata-
logues and choose, and you will be
we'll repaid for your trouble.-Mary-

lFor THE PROGRESSIVE FARAAh'
RAILROAD AND TIMBER ak
WINSTON, March Is, 1888.

WINSTON, March Is, 1888.
For some time, as your readers know,
there has been talk Of extending the
railroad from Winston to Wilksboro,
but the work fingered so that people
began to lose faith in it. Within the
past week, however necessary arrange
ments have been made, we are assured,
and work will begin at once, and De
pushed vigorously till the work IS
completed to Wilksboro. Seventy-hve
hands have been put to work grading
near Winston, and this number will
be increased as rapidly as hands can
be hired. This is good for the towns
of Winston and Salem, and good for
the country through which the road
is to run.
In this connection let me urge the
owners of timber lands along the line,
not to be in too big hurry to dispose
of their timber unless they get an
EQUIVALENT for it. There are many
timber spectators on the look out for
investments, who keep their eyes and
ears open, and when it is demon
strated to a reasonable certainty that
a railroad is to be built through a
wooed country, they s~nstanter begin the
raid, and with a very little money,
gobble up all the merchantable timber
they can, and hold it for future market
ing. In time they realize from ten to
twenty dollars for one invested, one
tree sometimes yielding them more
than they paid for an acre of trees.
There is no property which it will
pay the landowner in North Carolina
better to hold than his timber, which
is coming into greater and greater
demand every year. If he will sell,
let him demand and get a reasonable
price.

MILLET AND CORN FODDER.

We are asked by a correspondent
which is best for the dairy, millet or
corn fodder. We have just been
reading what Mr.. S. G. Barrett, of
Nebraska, has said upon that very
subject. He says that n of our
most nutritious and best folders to
feed to dairy COWS is good millet hay,
but millet hay is M of the most diff
cult crops to raise. Millet is a tropi-
cal plant, and does not always fully
mature it's seed so that you are not
sure of a good stand. Dry weather
just after the seeds have sprouted will
often destroy the young plants. A
heavy rain when the plants are small
will sometimes so cover them with
dirt that they perish. Unfavorable
weather at harvest time will materi-
ally injure the quality of the hay.
With favorable conditions three tons
of hay can be raised to the acre. An
average crop is about one and a half
tons. One ton of millet hay is worth
two tons of fodder corn, so that an
average fodder corn crop is to a crop
Of millet as five to three; not taking
into account that corn is certain,
while millet is mighty uncertain. A
cor crop is very much like the dairy
business; if the farmer does his part
we'll, he can be quite sure that there
will be some return for his labor.
Fodder corn is worth to feed dairy
cow as much per ton as prairie hay.
1t costs more on an average to harvest
an acre of prairie hay than al acre of
fodder corn. An average yield per
acre of prairie hay is about three
quarters of a ton. An acre of prairie
hay is as to an acre of fodder corr as
n to six and two-thirds. Hay from
clover or timothy, red top and other
tame grasses, does not exceed in feed
ing value that of millet, neither will the
yield per acre averave to exceed one
and a half tons. So fodeer corn is
nearly twice as valuable for feeding
purposes as any other of our fodder
crops Western RuraZ.

THE FARMER HIS OWN


But, practically, every farmer may
be his w chemist, to the extent OF
determining what elements his SOIL, or
a particular field requires and what
proportions of these elements will give
the best results. He has only to con
slider his field as the labratory OF
nature, the fertilizers he applies the
reagents, and the details of prepare
ton, planting, culture, etc., the man
ipulations of the chemist. If the
farmer wants to know of cotton
seed meal or whole cotton seed, or
the unexpressed kernel which is the
best and most profitable form for use
as a fertilizer, alone or in combination;
or if he wishes to know whether pot
ash is needed by his soil, and If needed,
what kind of potash is most effective
and profitable; or if he wants to know
the best proportions, and the best pay
ing quantities, or any other of a thou
sand questions that might be pro-
pounded, let him put his labratory in
order, lay in a stock of reagents, and
do the work of Analysing himself. Let
him ask nature, and she will answer
in an unmistakable way. In other
words let every farmer become an ex-
perimenter, to the extent at least of
solving for himself the questions which
come within the range of ordinary in
telligence and skill, and which most
concern him and his own farm. Such
experiments, or practical analysis, cost
very little more than the necessary
care and attention requisite to secure
accuracy in the details and reliability
in the indications furnished by the
comparative and direct results. The
manipulations are such as the farmer
has been accustomed to they are a
part of his daily business.
Farmers do not experiment enough;
or with sufficient care and painstaking
as to secure reliable results. Too
much is taken on trust or hearsay.
"Try all things" and hold fast to the
good, should be the watchword.-

mills in the manufacture of cheap fab

spindles for making carpet warps from
a Northern manufacturer who guar
antees the entire machinery has been
used only six months, and in splendid

pay only one-half Of it's first cost. AS
soon as the dam and necessary build
ings can be erected, near Viewers
vile, on Broad River, he will receive

. POLITICAL PAPER ON POL
If ITICIANS.

Is the editor a politician or a phi
losopher? The following seven para
graphs r clipped from the editorial
columns of the West Virginia DEM
ocrat:
"There is a wide distinction be-
tween men of principle, whom Offices
want, and men of principle, who want
Offices"
He who thinks of the public veal
asks, what recommends this candidate?
he who thinks only of political sue
cess asks, who recommends this can
didate 2"
1.-TWO kinds of men succeed in poll
tics, men of no principle, but of great
talent, but of one principle-the prin-
ciple of obedience to the rich and
powerful"
Nothing is more common than to
see riches preferred to talent. But tai
ent is of a much higher order of
power than riches. The influence of
talent is greatest when politics is
clean; the influence of riches is great
est when politics is most corrupt"
"The heaviest load a man who will
not betray the masses has to carry is
the load of constantly seeing the
masses heap honors on time-serving
sneaks who he knows to be traitors"
"The Congressman who has no OBJ.
ject in life except re election, spends
his time trying to "make a record"
that is, trying to appear as helping the
masses in their fight with monopoly,
and yet doing nothing to assist the
cause he processes to serve"
cit looks as if our political leaders
expected to win the next election by
promising the railroad managers not
to disturb their plans to plumber the
public. Perhaps the rank and file may
bring new leaders to the front-they
are needed. Never before, in all our
history, did the people so thoroughly
distrust and despise a professional
politician. We want men who stand
out, so we can see them"

EDUCATION.

The progress of the age and the
spirit of the times demand reform in
the ideas which shape and control our
system of education. For those who
are able to afford it, we should pro.
vide all, and the most complete ia.
%cilities for obtaining what is called
higher education, but for the great
mass of the people we want a system
of practical, technical training. 1t is
imperatively demanded. Hence we
see agricultural colleges and schools
of technology springing up all over
the land. If a boy must work out
his living in the sweat of his face,
educate him so he can perform his
part most effectually, and at least ex-
pense of time and muscle. Educate
him that at IS not degrading to aOork, and
this is the great and grand object to
be reached by our agricultural college.
The Farmers Friend has this to say on
this subject:
1T does not follow that because a
man a jabber Latin he is educated.
He may even converse in five differ
emit languages, and yet be a very SUI
pericial thinker and reasoner. But
what we object to is the idea that
manual labor is degrading, and that
educated people occupy a higher plane,
and ought not be required to do any
thing that will soil their hands. The
greatest teacher of ethics the world
yer saw was not ashamed to spend
his years, from youth to manhood's
prime in manual toll, thereby remov-
ing labor from the domain of ignoble
or dishonorable pursuits. That edu-
cation, or rather, that course of men
tai training, which creates in the mind
of the recipient an impression that to
work with the hands degrades the
man, is worse than no mental training
at all.
"The Individual who can jabber
Latin, is educated or trained to a GER
tain extent, so is the man who a
make a good horseshoe, and the one
has really no pre-eminence over the
other. What this world needs to-day
is not men who can converse in five
different languages, but men who can,
in addition to that, till the soil, WELD
the hammer, drive the engine, drag
from the deep caverns of the earth
the hidden wealth there hid away.
We want education, but not that edu-
cation which retards rather than helps
in the great struggle to procure the
necessaries and comforts of life. The
practical teaching that manual labor
is dishonorable and degrading, is one
of the crying sins of this nineteenth
century, and frought with baneful re-
suits to our peace and happiness as a
nation"

CHAPTER TX.

What happened in Edith's room that
night did not learn until the next
morning, but will give her account in
this place in order to preserve the Sc.
quence of events.
True to her resolve, she had left the
window open and the blind down, ex-
actly as on the preceding nights. Itwas
her habit to lock the door, and that she
did not omit to do so on this occasion she
was convinced by the fact that she found
some difficulty in turning the key, and
had afterward tried the handle to know
if the bolt was shot, She left the lamp
burning on the table, screened from her
by the lace curtains of the bed. 1t was
half past eleven when she lay down, and
she felt so little fear that she fell asleep
almost Immediately.
A pillow slipping from beneath her
head awoke her, she believed. Her first
consciousness was that her head felt I'M
comfortably low. She put her hand out
to find if she had slipped to the edge of
the bed; but no, her position was un.
changed.
Then 1t struck her that she had left Q
light on the table; it was now out, and
all was dark.
She wondered if this was a trick Of

Edith could not say whether the laths
she had seen turned were open when she
went to the window, and there were no
means of confirming the fact afterward,
because in pulling up the blind they
would, if open, be returned to their
former position. In face of my evidence,
she was firmly convinced that what she
had seen and heard was an extraordinary
illusion of-the senses parallel to that
which furnishes the sole excuse for a
tolerably widespread belief in superna-
tural appearances. She was ashamed OF
the feebleness of mind which her exper-
fences seemed to imply, and resolving to
overcome the weakness, she resisted all
her fathers persuasions to change those
conditions under which she had passed
the last two nights.
Van Hoeck alone refused to believe in
Edith's hallucination.
lone has only to hear Miss Lascelles
speak to discredit notion of that kind, +"
he said; ''she has every sign of mental
yigor and physical strength, and to &C
cuse such a girl of that kind of morbid
insanity called hallucination is Just as
creditable to your understanding as to
believe in the simplicity and honesty Of
a vagabond Californian card-sharper and
the half-breed wench he chooses to cal
his daughter"
When night came, he said to me, after
we had separated from the rest;
'This is no time for sleep, Thorne; we
must watch through the night, whether
you like it or not, if 1t is only for Miss
Lascelles' sake"
Ireadily agreed to this, and for an
hour we walked on part Of the lawn
