Fertilizing Sweet Potatoes.

The year of 1888 has been one oil
varied farm experiments at our place.
/ will give the result Of one in sweet
potato growing: I''penned" two pieces
of land side by side about of equal size.
In one pen Idaily composted the drop
pings of cattle with the soil. In the
other followed the common practice
OF the country in simply surface pen
ming, then blowing in the manure
and ridging up for sweet potatoes. In
the pen where the manure was daily
picked up and composted it was not
spaded over before using, though that
would have made it finer, but was SIM
ply taken out and dropped from bas-
ket along in rows before ridging up for
the potatoes. About equal amounts of
manure was used for each pen; no
fertilizer was used for either, save the
droppings of the cattle, and the ashes
from the burning of palmetto roots and
bushes when the land was cleared,
which was about equal in each pen.
Six different varieties of sweet potatoes
were tried in each pen. Results as fol-
lows: The land planted from the COM
posted fertilizer yielded at least three
times as many potatoes as that treated
in the common way of simply penning.

THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

why None But Devoted Protectionists
should Represent American Com
merce.
The Presidents declared intention Of
acting slowly in the matter of consular
appointments is praiseworthy. The
consular department is one in which it
is needful that there should be a ''clean
sweep" or pretty nearly so. Of all the
present incumbents, and that for very
plain and very satisfactory reasons.
Consuls and consular agents are not
mere routine officials; it is possible that
merely clerical duties may be fulfilled
by Democrat under Republican ad-
ministration or bya Republican under
a Democrat without detriment to the
policy of the party in power. but it is
not possible that free trader can
serve a protectionist party in an Office
in which he is free 20 express his
opinions as an official. and to impress
such opinions upon the public mind
by the weight of official position.
The consular reports are educational
documents. and it is not to be thought
of that they shall be written
and edited by free traders under q
protectionist administration. The
country has declared that its policy.
for the next four years at any rate,
shall be protectionist, and the working
out of such policy can not be intrust-
ed to free traders who are all but I'M
checked in the exercise of great official
powers.
The most insidious pleas for a re-
turn to free-trade policy which have
been made during the past four years
have been furnished by Consuls of
Mr.. Cleveland's appointment These
agents of America have been doing
English trade good and American
trade evil service. They have been,
for the most part, faithful friends
of the European exporter and treach-
erous guardians of the interests
of American manufacturers and agri-
culturists. 1t is desirable that the
consular service shall be reorganized
with the utmost speed consistent with
safety. But it should be borne in mind
that safety lies in replacing the old
free-trade leaven by active protection
ist principles. A Consul under a Re-
publican administration should be a
man of well-developed intelligence,
methodical in habit, shrewd in inves-
tigation, and full of devotion to the
American idea of protection to Ameri-
can industries and American citizens.

SELECTING A FARM.
Things That Should Not Be Overlooked
by Purchasers of Land.

Things That Should Not Be Overlooked
by Purchasers of Land.
In buying a farm for family home,
two things are so frequently overlooked
and are of so much Importance that we
would impress them upon the reader.
The first is the drainage about the
dwelling house. No family can be
healthy and happy unless its dwelling
is situated on spot whence the
drainage is good. On not a
few farms the dwelling has been
located where the drainage is very
poor and can not be much improved.
The person who located the house may
not have cared for drainage, or may
have thought of greater moment the
advantage of location near a spring,
or grove of trees, or something else.
No fertility of the land or bargain"
by reason of low price will justify a
man putting himself and family in a
dwelling from which the drainage is
imperfect. Sickness and death, with
the attendant suffering and expense,
will make the farm bad bargain, no
matter how low the price or fertile the
land.
The other thing is the intellectual
and moral character of the neighbor-
hood; for no man can afford that he and
his family live among unintelligent,
immoral people. To no small extent
your neighbors will mold the characters
of your children; if you would have
bright, intelligent, respectable children
you must have neighbors of the same
sort. In the country we must look to
our neighbors for social intercourse;
and, unless they are as they should be,
we must live like hermits, or associate
with people whose companionship is
uninteresting while it is harmful. Land
in a good neighborhood may cost some
what more, but it is nevertheless the
cheaper. Land where there are not
good people, and the good roads,
schools, churches and books that these
people will have, is always too dear for
a wise man to buy. 1t is also worth
while to take care to get near church
and school-house. One-fourth of a mile
further from church and school-house
means many miles more travel every
year for your children, sometimes
when the winds are fierce and cold, or
the snow is deep; sometimes, also. the
children may be kept altogether from
school or church for many precious
days. These things merit the consider
alton in buying new home.-Ameri-
can Agricuiturist-

FARM AND F,REs,pE.

Water under foot is a great detri-
ment to sheep-growing, and hence in
wet seasons the focks have to be
watched closely. Foul foot is seldom
known in billy country.
Where fertilizers must be bought
to keep up or improve the land. hog
growers will in many instances find it
profitable to buy their fertilizers in the
shape of feed, such as the mill products
and oil meal.-Swineherd.
There will be no danger of q va
riety of potatoes running out" II the
best tubers are saved for seed every
year. Every one who plants potatoes
can improve the variety by carefully
selecting the seed and giving good
cultivation.
Oats and onions are two crops that,
as rule, ought to be ready to go in
the ground just as soon as the condi-
ton of the soil will admit. II this is
done, it will be quite an item to make
the necessary preparations in advance,
so that at the proper time the work
can be pushed along as rapidly as pos
sible. -
Tomato Soup: Heat one quart of
canned tomatoes with one pint of water
to the boiling point, then add one
small teaspoonful soda. As soon as
they cease to foam add one pint rich
milk, two tablespoonfuls butter and a
little salt and pepper. Serve as soon
as it boils up again. With fresh oyster
crackers it makes an excellent dish.
just as many dairymen and other
cow-owners can not tell, with a reason
able degree of certainty, which of their
COWS are sources of profit, and which
of loss, so many farmers can not GER
tainly tell whether they gain or lose
by this or that crop. Would it not pay
to pay little more attention to this
matter? Might it not be as wise to Gull
ones crops as to Gull ones COWS.
lilly ventilated quarters and the
absence of sun and light exert pow

Without fresh air, sun and light, fowls

the pure air of heaven can reach them

Tins of disease. Western Plowman.
-Corned Beef Soup: Let seven
pounds of cheapest cut of corned beef
be soaked and parboiled so as to re-
move the surplus salt, then simmer
slowly three hours. Let the liquor
stand until all the fat rises. Skim off
the fat. Add a quart of tomatoes, two
carrots, two small white turnips, two
onions and four large potatoes, all
pared and sliced thin. Let simmer one
hour. Strain and serve the soup hot,
reserving the cooked vegetables for a
salad.

INExCUSABLE CRIMES,
The Southern Outrage Mill as Busily
Work as Ever.

The Southern Outrage Mill as Busily at
Work as Ever.
Since the Kemper County outrages
in Mississippi there has been lull in
the bloody business Of killing unof-
Tending negroes, but the horrible work
now seems to have broken out afresh
in that section. The Starkville Miss }
Times contains the details of the kill
ing of d. H. Smith, a negro labor
agent, whose only offense was the en-
gagement of laborers near Artesia for
Arkan sas planters. The cowardly mob
followed him up and without warning
shot him in the back. An inquest was
held and the jury in its verdict speci-
fed by name all those who were con-
cerned in the dastardly deed, but at
last accounts no one was arrested, and
it is safe to say no one will be, though
we are treated to the customary assur-
ance that 1.-The people of Artesia and
vicinity as law-abiding citizens no
doubt will see that the law is upheld
and justice melted out"
The Jasper Eagle contains the de-
tails of another atrocious crime. A
man named L. R. Smith, protesting to
be detective from Aberdeen, arrested
an innocent negro near Jasper, who,
he claimed, was wanted for completely
in a recent murder. He was allowed
to take the negro away with him, car
rying him off into the woods and cutting
off one of his ears, which he proposed to
carry to Birmingham and offer as evil
dence to secure the reward which had
been declared. After doing this he de-
liberately shot the negro and left him.
The victim dragged himself to the
nearest house and died there, but not
before he had told his dreadful story
and proved that he was not the MUIR
derer for whom the reward had been
offered. We are also informed in this
case that public sentiment will demand
the arrest and punishment of Smith,
but beyond the fact that the public
were vastly amused at his claiming
reward by the exhibition of his vic
TINS ear no steps have been taken to
vindicate justice, and as in the other
case it is safe to assume none will be.

FACTS ABOUT SHIRTS.
Devises Calculated to Reduce the Laundry
Bills of bachelors.

Oh IbacnelOres
As the shirt industry grew and ex.
banded the garment itself became the
subject of much mental exercise, and
the result is that there are more than
three hundred patents on various de-
vices pertaining to the garment and
covering every part of it from the neck
band to the tail. Most of these are de-
signed to add to the comfort of the
wcarer. the strength of the shirt, and
the income of the inventor, and are of
no particular interest to the general
reader. One of the most singular of
these inventions is a continuance to
cheat the laundress, called the multi
BOSOM" consisting of one body and
many bosoms, either detachable or
otherwise. A man in Boston built a
shirt with many bosoms so arranged
that when one was soiled it could be
dropped down below the waist and a
clean front exposed to view. 1t is sug-
gested in the Haber-dasher, from which
this information is obtained. that this
automatic portable laundry, operated
by the legs of the wearer so that the
dropped bosom could be ''done up"
while not in use. Another man has
produced a combination shirt made of
flannel with an extra bosom of linen,
which is made to appear on unbuttoning
flap, and Chicago man has secured
patent on a shirt to which extra
bosoms are attached by buttons. The
notched neckband is patented device
and consists in cutting V-shaped
notches in the top of the band, thus
permitting it to spread or contract to
fit collars of different sizes. Another
patent was issued recently on shirt
open all the way down the back and
front-a shirt in two halves; and still
another on the open shoulder, which
has not yet become popular. There are
also a number of patents on sleeve ad-
justers, most of which consist of
system of buttons and straps to regu-
late the length of the sleeve.
The linen for American shirts comes
entirely from Ireland. 1t is said that
the United States can never become a
competitor in this domain for tn
reason that it can not grow the proper
quality of fax and that the extremes
of climate prevent perfect bleaching.
Ireland is the worlds best bleaching
ground. Nearly all the muslin used
in the trade is manufactured in the
mills of New York and the New En-
gland States, the Southern mills sup
plying only the heavy fabrics known
as cotton Innings. "-C Chicago Tribune.
In recently issued tables giving
statistics on the subject of divorce, our
country leads in having granted nearly
half million divorces during the
twenty years past, but there have beer
only eleven divorces throughout the
length and breadth of Erin during that
period. Protestant or Catholic, in
happiness or In abuse, the Irish con-
tinue the partnership until it IL dis
solved by death.

citing themselves concerning the for
nation of a salt trust that it would be
well to wait and see if:
1. There is salt trust.
2. Whether its founders and fac
tors are not out and out free traders.
8. If it increase the price Of salt
4. If it doesn't get smashed into
such universal smithereens as the once
talked-of copper trust now lies in.
