Montgomery and vicinity.

a horseback jaunt to Montgomery
and vicinity. AS a rule the crops
up that way are fine, with few
complaints of wanting rain. That
anybody was lacking rain in Grant
parish was quite a surprise to us,
as we had been under the impress
sion all along that the incessant
rains of six weeks ago prevailed
throughout the entire parish. The
merchants of Montgomery seem to
have no uneasiness about crops in
that region. Since the fire of last
winter, which destroyed several
stores, the business of the place is
confined to five establishments, viz:
H. V. Mccain & Co., I. W. Kim
brell, w. o. Harrison, G. w. Ether
idge and J. H. Williams. The last
named, at-his famous Pixies Peak
store, appears DO be holding the
edge in the matter y trade, as we
noticed a goodly crowd in and
around his doors both on Saturday
evening and Monday morning.
Prof. w. j. Calvitt has fine
school in progress, with the rise of
forty scholars in attendance. A
praiseworthy movement is on foot
to establish a seat of learning in
Montgomery. 1t is proposed to
purchase the residence and grounds
formerly occupied by W. M. Wat
son and fit them up for this pur-
pose. We hope they will succeed
in the endeavor, as such an insti-
tAtion as they propose to establish
will not only be a benefit to the
town, but it will also rebound to
the credit of the entire parish.
The old-time hospitality and
courtesy of the people of the town
and vicinity are still a marked
feature, and it would be an easy
and pleasant task to recite many
things of personal interest to the
writer, but time and space and
journalistic taste forbid the indul-
gence beyond a limited extent.
Our Montgomery friends are habit
ually hospitable, visitors never lack
ing for kindly attentions in their
midst, and we are not jenkins
enough to insult them by presum-
ing their courtesies are extended
to gain or are to be repaid by
puff in the paper.
Saturday evening we were cap
tured and installed in the commo-
dious residence of Mr.. S. G. Curry,
four miles from Montgomery, where
we were pleasantly entertained with
vocal and instrumental music by
his accomplished daughters Miss
Bessie and Miss Blossom, assisted
by Miss Claudio Hicks, and ably
seconded by Mr.. Curry's two sons
and couple of gentleman visitors.
On Sunday the most of the par
ty designated attended preaching
at Independence church, within

Rev. Mr.. Wynn held up the scrip

great extent that it has infuerc4d
them year after year, regardless OF
their own increasing unsatisfactory
pecuniary condition, to use their bal
lots to elect the tools, that have been
nominated by those whose sole object
has been to have laws enacted and
perpetuated that will give them the
power to procure the proceeds of what
the farmers produce. If by their
pursuing that course they were the
only ones that had to suffer from the
injuries that they have aided in in
ficting upon their own class, they
would not be SO censurable, but they
have caused the lives of many of their
wives, who they have promised to
protect, to be a continual struggle
with hardships and deprivations,
which have caused many OF them to
go into untimely graves. And those
that they have greatly assisted in
electing for our lawmakers have not
been satisfied with robbing the present
generation of farmers of their wealth,
but they have been striving by every
available means to procure legislation
that will give them the absolute power
to reap the proceeds of the toll Of
their p%osterity.

FALL FLOWING AGAIN.

HuNrERsv1LLE, N. c., April 5, 'ss.
Mr.. EDITOR 1t is a disputed
question as to whether fall blowing
pays OF not. I do not offer debate, |
only present what [ know to be a fact.
In the fall of 1885, [ worked for Mr..
Terrell and we both sowed oats, and
they froze out and left the ground for
corn in the spring. So that offered a
good opportunity for an experiment,
as one face of the hill was not plowed
in the fall.
In the spring we gave both parts of
the field the same chance, as the ground
was plowed at the same time and the
same way. The corn was planted one
evening and next day. 1t was worked
alike throughout. And where the
ground was plowed in the fall the corn
retained it's color longer and furnished
better fodder. And where the ground
was plowed in the fall the corn was
fully one-third better. This I know,
but for cotton, [ do not profess to
know, asI never had any experience
in that line. AS I am young [ d not
offer any argument against expert
enced farmers, [ only present this as
a known fact. It seems to me that
the more litter I "a get in the ground
the better it is for the ground, and if
better for the ground why of course
the better for the corn.
Now as [ am inexperienced will
some good farmer give his experience
on farming in general, as I want to
learn the arts of tillage.

FORAGE CROPS.

This is the proper month and the
best time to make the first and main
paintings of most kinds Of annual
forage plants. Let no farmer place
sole reliance on corn, fodder and oats,
but add n or more of the well-tried
soiling crops. Milo maize, Kaffr
corn, cat-tail sorghum, collards, forage
corn Gndian) are each and all good.
AS a green food that is highly nutri-
tious and productive and generally
rellshed by every animal on the farm,
including the genus homo, we speak in
praise of the old Georgia collards. We
believe if hogs are fed literally with
them throughout the season, cholera
will be a very rare complaint. Among
the later improved hog crops, the
particular variety of peanut, known as
the "Spanish" peanut, has met with
almost universal favor. 1t is early,
productive and very easily cultivated
and harvested. The Southern farm
ers ought to produce every pound of
bacon and lard consumed IN the South.
They can produce it at less cost than
in the West. Our farmers will never
become prosperous until they realize
that good farming-true farming
necessarily includes the home produc-
ton of the staple foods necessary to
carry on a farm.-Ahanta, Georgia,
