attached, intended simply to mlngle the
fertilizer with the soil. The corn was
dropped by hand at an average distance
of about thirty inches and covered by
board twenty-seven inches in length, the
lower corners of which were sawed OH
diagonlly nine inches from the ends.
The seed used was known as the N. q.
prolific corn, which grows as small
stock, produces two ears low down, and
susceptible of very close planting on
bed.
"The fertilizer consisted of mixture
of 40 per cent. each of Edisto dissolved
bone and cotton seed meal and 20 per
cent. kaidit, costing Sl6.s7 per ton.
ssThe speaker then quoted some ex-
tracts from diary kept Of the working
on the farm, giving in detail the manner
OF working the corn, and also the differ
ent kind of seasons which was expert
enced. The principal working machine
used was the harrow, which cost only
small amount of time and labor. After
all the work was gone through with, 1t
was found that the corn never fired, the
stalk was succulent and vigorous, and
the leaves, from the lowest to the upper
most, green and healthy. He then
read statement of the whole cost of the
crop for succoring aud working it, and
dividing the total by the number OF
acres, showed that the cost was So
per acre.
ssThe amount of corn which will be
made per acre has been variously estl
mated at from 80 to 40 bushels. The
cost of breaking the ground in Decem-
Der and first fertilizers was not estimated
in the above figures, but fodder and
peas made beforehand Will make up. tor
this.
ssThere are those who may object to
the omission Of rental of lands tax, on
same, interest on values, etc /, but to
them the writer would respectfully state
that this article was prepared, not to e1-
hibit the profit in the cultivation OF an
acre of South Carolina uplsnds requir-
ing an array of figures each on the debit
! and credit side, but to show to his
| brother farmers of our county and State
the benefit to be derived from the use
of labor saving machinery by means of
| which his corn cannot only be efectual-
ly and economically cultivated, but can
be done with such rspidity that it
ceases to interfere with his cotton, which
at this particular season is especially
liable to loss from grass and procrasti-
nation, and the work of which inevitably
results in additional labor and expense.
The, speaker concluded by giving
Orangeburg county the ''send off, which
she deserves for the great advantages
held out to. farmers by her rich and
fertile lands, and remarked that her
fields blossom like weu-kept garden,
and peace and plenty abound within her
borders."
After this speech the question box was
again opened and the subject of cholera
was brought up. An essay was then
read from Col. K. NJ. Sims, of Charles
ton, on fruit culture.
Resolutions OF thanks were then offer
ed to Mr.. J. z. Wannamaker for his ex,
cellent management of the institute, and
also to the Harmonic Orchestra for the
splendid music rendered gratuitously by
them.
The Institute then adjourned.

The Second Day.


ing's session was opened with prayer by
the Rev. a. j. s. Thomas, after which
Prof. Milton Whitney, of South Carolina
University, was introduced. The sub
iect Of the address of Professor Whitney
was .'FerlGzing qualities Of leguminous
plants"
The question box, which is one of the
most interesting features on the pro-
gramme, was then opened by Mr.. James
NJ. Moss, the manager, and it was found
TO contain number Of important ques-
tons. The questions we're nearly all re-
ierred to Professor Atkinson and Whit.
ney, who answered at short notice and
generally satisfactorily.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the hea<ing Of the address of Mr.. E. r.
Wslter of Orangeburg, on "How to
make corn at ten cents per bushel on
Carolina uplands-" The most important
points Of the address are contained in
the following extract:
s.Reshzing the great importance of the
com crop Of our State, and the necessi-
ty icr the introduction OF more rapid
and economical mode of cultivation,
your esssyist has consented to submit,
for your consideration, almethod adopt
ed By himself three years ago and sue
cesaully practiced since; and in order
10 present it as clearly as possible, will
endeayor to lay before you statement
from q carefully kept diary of every
hours labor expended upon the crop Of
this year.
ssThe land selected for planting in
corn, was 81 acres, 81 of which was in
corn last year, and 20 in oats, followed
by peas. It was al carefully broken up
Hnsh with two horse plows in December
and January, the corn-stalks, chopped
into two or three parts, being complete
~ turned, together with a heavy growth
of peavines, grass, etc. In this condi-
Gion it remained until March 16, when it
was laid off witha Corbin harrow par
tisIy drawn back and pulled by two
animals, thoroughly pulverizing the soil
and killing all grass seeds and weeds
then terminating. The water furrows
were then opened with a seven-inch
opener pillow, in the furrow distributors
were run, deposihng 500 pounds of fer
EEzass per acre, and we're followed by
an iron foot plow stock with no mould
