SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
A Better System Needed.


My estimate of the loss to the cotton
planters of this county, caused by the
August storm, has not been lessened; |
in fact, if any difference, it is more
than fifty per cent, The very untavor-
able weather that Immediately fol-
lowed the storm has brought the loss
fully up to that per cent. and perhaps
to a greater one. Thousands OF
farmers, both large and small, will
certainly fail this fall ''to make both
ends meet. The call cotton farmers"
are particularly worsted by this years
operations, and it should impress them
with the stubborn fact that their sys-
tenn is wrong and will bring ruin upon
them.
The farmers of the South must soon
CT or later recognize the fact that the
"all-cotton' system will bring them
down on an equal footing with tenants
and renters. They have, by that sui
cidal principle, exhausted three-fourths
Of their land and grown poor them
selves; yet in the face of this state of
affairs why do they continue the pur~
suit of system of agricultural opera
lions that has already almost ruined
them, when there are other more in
viting and profitable ones staring them
squarely in the face, and right at their
doors, too? There is no money, but
ruin and worn-out soils in the ''all-
cotton" system. have questioned
many men in this section who are con-
sidered successful farmers, and who, it
was supposed, were making money by
raising cotton, and every one of them
replied: II am not making any money
at all out of my cotton crops"
So it is with every farmer who raises
''all cotton" and has his smoke-house
and corn-crib in st. Louis, Cincinnati
or Chicago. Their smoke-houses and
corn-cribs are too far from home and
it takes too long to go to them and get
afeed of corn and oats for their horses
and bushel of meal ito last till next
Saturday evening" and bacon enough
for dinner and supper" In fact it
costs altogether too much, and the en-
perience of the last twenty-five years,
and the labor and advice COTTON up ex-
pressly for their benefit, it seems to
me. certainly ought to cause the South
ern farmers to change front and face
another point of the needle besides
that one which points to the object
have in view for writing.
Now, in conclusion, will some one
prevail upon Mr.. Geo. w. Truit. O
Troup County, Ga, to give his com
plete system of farming? AS for my
self l have read just enough about it tC
make me very anxious to read the
whole. I can't get the idea as to how
he eultivates seventy-fve acres of cot
ton, besides his other crops, with only
two mules. Let us hear from Mr.
Truit, if you please, before next plant
ing time. Cor Southern CatlttUatOr.

BURIAL AT SEA.
A Navy Oficer Gives a Description of the
Impressive Service.

a Navy OfnCGF Gives q OoSGEApkAO u ShHS
Impressive Service.
"Why are the bodies of passengers,
who die on ocean steamships at sea
thrown overheard instead of being
brought to port?" was asked of navy
officer.
at depends upon circumstances
whether it is advisable to bury per-
son at sea who dies on shipboard. " was
the answer. IF the vessel is within
day or two of the end of the voyage,
there is no good reason for not bring
ing the body into port, although a
superstition prevails among sailors
that if a dead body is kept on board it
means the inevitable destruction of the
vessel. And it is often the case that
when body is shipped on board a
vessel to cross the ocean the fact is
kept from the knowledge Of the sail
0rs."
at is contended by some that the
burial of body at sea is not attended
with the solemn ceremony that it
ought to be?"
"a burial at sea is a very solemn
and impressive service. A death at
sea casts a gloom over the whole ship,
and it is natural for the officers of a
vessel to avoid ostentation and display.
All mariners are firm in their convic-
ton that when a person dies at sea,
unless within a few hours run of
port, the body should be given up
to the deep. AS a rule, vessels
are not provided with any place where
body may be kept, nor do the medl-
cine chests contain any drugs or chem
icals by which it can be embalmed.
Some of the lines carry metallic collins
in which the bodies of those dying at
sea, when the urgent request of their
friends is made, may be placed until
the vessel reaches port. But there is
no law, as some have asserted, which
makes it compulsory to bury body at
sea.
GAS for the burial service, the body
is usually sewed up in canvas and
heavy pieces of iron, and either CRATE
bars or shot, are fastened to it to cause
| it to sink. Then the body is taken to
the gangway and the officers and crew
are assembled by the captain, who
reads the Episcopal burial service.
prepared for such occasions, the ship
being stopped meanwhile. The SER
vice being completed, the plank upon
which the body rests is tipped up and
the body slides into the ocean and
sinks, being carried down by the heavy
weights. Then the vessel is put or
her eourse and goes ahead. Surely
there is nothing inhuman or unbecom
ing in this. IN 7. Iribune.

Rreeding Mares and coIts.

I am now fifty-five years old and
have had some considerable expert
ence during that time in stock breed
ing. For the last ten years l have
kept a stallion or jack, and raised a
good many colts. During that time
l have been a close observer of the
many little things which are always
necessary to the accomplishment of
greater things. Now, see that one
man wants to know what sort of a
mare he should breed to. will say,
none but good ones. The mare should
be of good blood and qualities, and
not under medium size; head rather
small, with good eye in it.;
body long, hips broad, withers
deep, legs short. Still, mares of
other shapes bring good colts. Another
man wants to know what sort of a
horse or jack he should breed his mare
to. say that they should be well
bred, good size, very compact and with
good eye. In raising horses it is just
as important to have good mare to
breed from as it is a good stallion, and
in raising mules it is all-important to
have fine mare if you want fine
mule. 1t does not cost any more to
raise fine horse or mule than scrub.
Then why not raise the best. Another
man wants to know how long mare
will carry foal. Mares carry their
foals from ten months and thirteen days
to eleven months and seventeen days.
Eleven months and from three to seven
days, and eleven to fifteen days, is most
common, regardless of their age; some
persons think that old mares carry
their foal longer than young ones. As
to how old the colt should be when
Weaned, think it may be weaned al
five months, but six or seven months
is better time. Always have a gooC
pasture to turn them into at weaving
time, for the next three years to come,
When three years old the colt should
have better attention, as it will b,
shedding its teeth at that time AS Il
the best forage for colts in the winter
would suggest oats, hay, German mil
let, with as much green pasture al
possible. Swamp cane is very good
The colt should not eat much Indiar
corn until it is four years old, ant
should be kspt in good growing con
dition, but not too fat up to tire
years old. After that work you
colt moderately all the time and fee
him well and he will make you bet
ter horse or mule than if you had KEEP
him fat all the time and worked hir
but little. Now, about working mare
during pregnancy, they may be worke
all the time until short while befor
ioaling time, say one month, with ad
vantage to the foal and mare The
should, however, be worked slow an
xindly; never ride or drive them fast

Raising Black Pepper IN Florida.

Here is a timely hint for farmers
and gardeners who desire to raise at
home every thing possible that is now
purchased at stores: Hon. II. Il
Crawford, of Crawfordville, brought
us last week some samples of black
pepper, which was grown by Mr.. E.
R. Ready. He got his start from plants
imported from South America, and
says the trees are prolific bearers He
now has two trees in full bearing.
which are about eight feet high, and is
roofing several more. Mr.. Ready IS
satisfied from his experience that
black pepper culture is a success in.
this section of Florida, and he
will continue to root plants until he
has quite large pepper orchard He
says he and his neighbors all use the
pepper from his trees and find it equal-
ly as good as imported, if not better.
We have tried the sample brought us
and are satisfied that 1t is strong. Why
should we buy imported black pepper
when we can grow it at home? This
is quite a profitable crop, and it would
pay many Of our planters to enter into
the business. They can sell all they
raise right here in the home market,
and at good prices. Tallahassee Flori-

Instead of Dying Out They Are Increasing
at Natural Rate.

Instead of Dying Out They Are Increasing
at Natural Rate.
Rev. John w. Sanborr, of Lockport,
who combines with his parochial
duties the functions of chief of the
Canandaigua reservation, gave very
interesting talk at Cooper Union, be-
fore the New York Academy of An
thropology, concerning the manners,
traditions and growth of the Indians.
The aborigines are not dying out,
said he, but have been increasing
throughout the country at the rate of
900 yearly, and they now number $780,
600. Their first contact with civiliza-
ton was blighting, like a sudden
change from hot to cold, but by little
and little they are learning to appre-
ciate the comforts it brings. Mr.. San
born spoke more particularly OF the
six nations, or the Iroquis confedera-
ton. They not only dress in the man
ner of American citizens, but have
many of their home comforts. Mr..
Sanborn attired himself in the garb of
a chief, worn only on state occasions,
and the ladies had an opportunity to
inspect the really handsome beadwork
on the buckskin jerlin, sash, greaves
and moccasins.
An Indian couple sang with him
several hymns that had been reduced
to writing. There are no labials in
the language, but it abounds in grunts,
gutturals and nasals, for some of
which special characters had to be in
vented. On the table lay very big
thigh bone and tibia, a powerful jaw
bone and large and singularly per-
feet skull. They were the relics Of
an Indian chief found by Mr.. Sanford
in burial mound twelve miles from
Canandaigua. Evidently the CHIEF
was man of brain as well as of mus.
Gle. Several stories were told indicat-
ing that the Indian is by no means as
stolid as represented, but is bright
keen, and even witty.
Mr.. Sanborn believes in Fenimore
Cooper's romantic Indians, and tt
show the reason of his faith read {
very pretty tale from the Esop's fables
of the tribe. He praised their hospi
tality and liberality. The women still
cling somewhat to their traditional
dress, but they are eontented, for the.

rights as the men. Counting is n,
