Another week gone and not much more
work done on the farm. We think now
is the most favorable time for sowing
oats during the crescent moon. Old close
observing farmers say that oats sown
during this period of the moon will grow
taller and yield better crop than at any
other period. Some people do not believe
that seed planted at certain ages of the
moon will make any difference ia the
growth and yield of plants, but that this
IS fact is indubitable in the minds of
mcst people.
People are making preparations for one
moro large cotton crop as usual, and we
we see guano going along the Trail
road. No guano, no cotton, that is the
theory. We used no commercial fertil-
izers last year, and were well pleased with
compost instead: ,.,,
hastily, and not desiring to mix with
stable manure or any chemicals, may kill
them separate in the following manner: {:
Set barrel on the ground aud fill it with
water, then pile the seed around the barrel,
fifty, seventy.five or a hundred bushels.
next heat rocks and put in the barrel
until the water is sufficiently hot to scald
a hog. Place cloth over the top OF the
barrel to keep the steam from evapora-
ting out at the top of the barrel. In few
hours the seed will be terminating, and
after twenty-four hours the heap should
be torn down and let the seed cool off in
order to prevent further progress in ger.
minating. We do not take sides with
those who advocate putting up cotton seed
with stable manure two or three months
previous to using it. The heap will fer
ment aud get very hot, and afterwards
the moisture will evaporate and the COM
post became dry and hard.

MI. J. Waite Bowden is agent for Cole

Last Friday in company with some
friends we visited the school taught by
Miss Carrie Watkins at this place. Not
withstanding the inclemency OF the wealth
or the attendance was fairly good. One
of the main features of the evening was q
sspelling match' under the leadership Of
Masters Tommy Simpson and Darwin
Reid, which resulted in victory for the
side chosen by Master Tommy. The two
spoilers that remained up the longest on
the victorious side were Miss Kate Es-
kew and Master Edwin Jolly, and on
the defeated side, Misses Margie and Anna
Major. We were shown numbeI of let
ters written by the scholars to the teacher
and other friends which showed neat
ness of execution hardly to be expected
in children of such age and size. Mem
ory carried us back to days of yore, and
we contrasted them. with now, and
thought it no wonder that children love
to go to school now, and probably learn
faster than then. 'Slabs" used to be
used for seats, with four auger holes with
pins in them for legs, and frequently with
out any backs to them, except the aching
backs of the hapless children. Now,
generally good seats are provided, and an
air of comfort pervades the school-room.
But probably the greatest contrast is in
the mode of teaching. Webster's "blue
back" spelling book used to be all the
book child needed for long time when
first beginning to learn, and frequently
the book was almost worn out before the
alphabet was learned. After spelling
through the book two or three times the
child was allowed to try to read. Now,
reading is the first thing that child is
learned when starting to school. II seems
queer to commence to read before the let
ters are learned, but the children learn,
and it is all right.
A young preacher. lately licensed,

Wishing to more forcibly impress the

went around and talked to them about
their spiritual welfare till he came to one
old man who was slightly deaf and who
had sore foot and leg that occupied his
mind more than things spiritual, when
the following conversation substantially
occurred:
Preacher-"Well, my brother, how are
you getting along?"
Old man-"Got mighty sore foot and
leg"
Preacher-"I am sorry to hear of your
bodily Affections. but was meaning in
spiritual sense-how are you getting on

Old man-"Can't get my shoe on"
Preacher-"Ahem! but are you in the
Old manifest from my knee down."

THIS CONCERNS YOU.

Every man should save his
own Garden Seeds, but will
NOT, and therefore should be
very careful about where and
what kind he buys. All of our
old stock was carefully burned
before the new came in, and we
have nothing but new seeds, of
this we give you any kind of
guarantee you want. We do
this partly as an advertise
ment, partly as q joke on the
rats and mice, but principally
as q protection to ourselves
and our custo mers, and for the
satisfaction uf looking rnan
square in the face and saying
without batting your eyes,
"these are fresh Seed" T'is
luxury denied the multitude.
We keep also Grass and Field
Seeds of all kinds, in fact we
have made this a kind of spe-
cialty, and will be glad to give
all the information we San to
parties desiring to embark in
that industry, whether they
buy from us or not.
We don't expect to sell
everybody, and never fall out
with a man because he does
not trade with US, but if the
Druggist from whom you usu-
ally buy happens to be out Of
an article, We shall be glad to
see you at our place, and will
