SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Corn Harvest.

In the southern part of the cotton find all the corn gathered and stored away. There is absolutely nothing gained by letting the crop remain in the feld-on the stalks-after it is dry enough to keep well in bulk in the shuck. Our peculiar custom of gath ering and storing the ears only, ena- bles Us to do the work at once and in few days. Our own rule was to com mence about the 10th of September and make a job of it-fnishing before suspending. The main crop of corn is usually ready to gather-dry enough to keep perfectly-in about five or six weeks after the fodder was pulled, or would have been pulled under the prevailing Southern custom. The stripping off the blades scarcely hastens the drying. Naturally, the ears of corn are ripe before the blades have commenced to die; and the proc ess of drying goes oil in the cob and grain, regardless of the presence or absence of the blades. On level and pently-rolling land-indeed wherever wagon may be driven along the rows with facility, it will generally be found more expeditions plan to drive the wagon and team along the middle row of a set of four to six rows of corn Gone TOW to each hand) and thus gather the crop by breaking the ears and throwing them directly into the wagon, all hands going with the wagon to unload. Of course it is not recommended where the field is q long distance from the barn or "crib. We practiced the plan for many years with great satisfaction.
 The only enemy that preys on we'll locked Southern corn crib is the corn weevil. Gathering the corn when the shucks are wet or immediately after d rain, or permitting it to rain on the mass of corn in store before putting or roof, are generally believed to lesser the depredations of this insect pest. Me believe the sprinkling ot success sive layers of corn .in the shuck with salt water, and interspersing plentifully the leaves of either black walnut or China, is more or less effective proteetion.-Soathern Gull tiyator.

MRS. MACkAY'S JEWELS
Collection of Gems Including n Sap
 pittre Worth &I5O,OO0

!
 Mrs. Mackay's collection of jewels is superb, and some of her gems arc the finest in the world.
 One of her sapphires, American visitors to her houses in London and Paris think, surpasses in beauty any other in the world. It is absolutely 1 flawless, and is all of four-tenths of an inch in diameter She bought it from Russian prince for $150, GOO. ! She owns also the most splendid emerald known to exist, and paid a fabulous price for it. Among the bagatelles of her jewelbox are set of corals comprising a crown, a brooch. bracelet. and so on, all of the most exquisite rose pink in hue
 She has also a pair of diamond solitaires so magnificent that they are valued at more than $400, GOO. One of them was bought for her at the sale of the effects of the Duke of Brunswick. She commissioned a jeweer to purchase u mate for it. The Jeweler spent two years in searching before he could find an op- portunity of executing the commis- sion. Two years were required also to complete the collection of coral gems. The only other like it or equal to it is owned by the Queen of Por- tugal.
 Most of these exquisite and costly gems will probably go some day 10 Mrs. MackaYs daughter, the Princess Colonna, unless, indeed, her sons, who are being trained up to business in this country, should have the good sense to follow their fathers example and marry American women, in which case, it is to be presumed, some of these gems would remain i'll the United States. Notwithstanding the sarcasm indulged in by some Of the French and most of the so-called society journals of London at Mrs. Maekay' $ expense, she has been ex- tremely kind to Americans abroad, and when she reaches Philadelphia she will receive cordial greeting from some members of the conserva- tive society of the Quaker City. who have received her splendid hospitality in Paris. s.-PhiladeIphia Letter.

country last spring, and attributed to storing or bulking cotton in wet con dition last fall. It is often the case that seed cotton gathered too wet or green is pushed through the ginning process, and the seed thrown into bulk. Of course they will heat and spoil more or less. X good plan to handle and secure the planting seed for next year against the usual sources of damage is to gather when the cotton is dry, from the middle portion of the opening crop, sun 1t II necessary, gin carefully and closely, sack the seed at once in guano or other sacks, and hang up in dry place as you would hang up bacon hams. This will permit the seed to dry without danger of heating. protect from rats or other vermin, and they are ready to handle and move to the place where wanted without loss or delay.
 The suggestions made about select ing seed corn apply with equal force to selecting cotton seed. Every farm CT should pick at least as much with his own hands from the most care fully selected stalks as will furnish seed to plant his next years seed patch. = Southern Cultivator.

Sowing Grass Seed.

Now is the accepted time" to SOW seeds of cultivated grasses extending through the month of October. accord ing to latitude.
 In the northern part of our territory, September is the best month if weather conditions are favorable October will be time enough for the middle region, and any time during November, De- cember and February, as the inter- tropics are approached. The object should be to SOW long enough before severe winter freezes to enable the young grass to take good hold upon the soil to reach that stage at and after which frost will not affect it. Some species of grass and other forage plants (Lueerne and clover, for in- stance) are more tender in the seed- leat stage than others, and are liable to be killed outright by a severe frost.
 We have already suggested the grasses that will be most likely to succeed in the cotton region, and the directions for sowing. Orchard grass, oat grass. Rescue grass and Bermuda grass would be most likely to succeed in the hands of an inexperienced farm CT, and on the greatest variety of soils To these, on more select soils and for special uses. may be added red clover, white clover Bluegrass, red top, Johnson's and Lucerne. For d pasture quite number of different species of grass mixed and sown to- gether gives the best results, not only because of the doctrine Of natural se- lection and the survival of the fittest. but because also the tax on the soil is really not so severe as in the case of only one species occupying the land :; and for the additional reason that the taste and appetite of the different ani- mals is gratitied and stimulated by va riety in the herbage provided.
 In our humble opinion, just as cer- tainly as that "all flesh is grass. the future agricultural prosperity of this South land will largely depend upon the substitution of system Of which grass and stock husbandry shall be a very prominent feature. It is so in all old and prosperous agricultural coun- tries, and must be so in ours. But we will not press the argument; now is the time for action. Get ready, buy the seed and SOW grass. We would not advise every farmer to go at once into grass culture on a large scap, without having had any experience Vn the subject The cost of seed will generally prevent a very extensive venture into it by a farmer who has not realized to some extent the value of grass when cultivated. It is best to go slow in inaugurating so ltadi- cal change as the substitution of one system of husbandry for another. Ttere is much to learn that can be learned only by actual experience. But every farmer should gain this ex- perience as soon as possible, and be prepared to broaden his pastures and meadows in the near future A good beginning may be made by learning the value of barley, rye and oats as winter pasture grasses. the latter as merely incidental to it's coming crop | of grain. There is absolutely no bet ter grass for winter pasture than bar ley or rye, for one winter alone. the only draw back being its short life as an annual Dixie Farmer

 Referring to Shallenberger' Antidote for Malaria, the business manager Of the Herald of Faiut would say, that he gave this med icine a personal trial, and was speedily cured of an unpleasant intermittent Fever. He then recommended it to F. J. Tiefen- braun, 1915 Papin street, and to police ofi- cer Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of whom were cured by it of ehills and fever of several years standing. Recently his wife, after a fever of several days dura- ton, took single dose and was perfectly cured In view of these remarkable cures, and remembering how much money is spent for qunine, so little to be depended upon, and often so injurious, we can only wish that Shalenberger's Antidote would come into general use

Some Hints About Potatoes.

Potatoes at no time should be al lowed to lie exposed to the sun. If they must be cured this should be done in the shade, .r the quality will be impaired. And if potatoes are dug at this time and are piled up they are almost certain 10 heat and rot and often considerably more are damaged in this way than if they are left in the ground until the weather is cooler. If, however, they are dug and spread out thin in the shade for few days until they are thoroughly dried out or cured, and are then put into a loft or place whore there can be good venti- lation, the loss by rotting can be made very small. They should be laid out very thin at first, and then at no time be more than six inches deep until cooler weather sets in. They must be kept dry and placed where good cir culation of air can be given. A good plan is to put into a crib or loft that will not be missed until they can be taken up and stored, either in the pit orin the cellar, to be used as wanted during the winter. r.-Indianapolis Sen tinel
