SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Farmers Trust.

The special tendency of the times
seems to be the formation of trusts.
Each day some new combination is
made and another trust is declared.
Meanwhile the farmers go on pro-
ducing and nothing is said about or
ganizing trust And whyp
The farmers have the best trust pos
sible, the trust in God, they are conf
dent that harvest will follow seed
time, that the combined forces of nat
ure will give them living as long as
they do their share. In spite OF in
sects, storms, cold or heat, deluge or
drought, their trust is that their barns
and bins will be filed and there will
be enough to spare to furnish the
money to buy clothes for the family
and provide all household necessities,
and exercising this perfect trust the
farmers labor on and are happy in
their work.
In each insect enemy they recognize
a new Indictment to more determined
warfare. and a better understanding OF
the nature of the plant and the habits
of the insect that wishes to help the
farmer gather his crops, and at the
same time is unwilling to consult him
as to how and when it shall be done.
The farmer trusts that his duty well
done will insure the deserved success.
and his trust does not fail him.
There is a second trust that the
farmer practices not to be so heartily
commemorative is the trust at the
village store and at the agricultural
| implement and seed houses. Perhaps
no class practices the trust so persist
emily as the farmers. The number who
owe their ruin to this trust is greater
than the number ruined by any other
cause.
There are exceptional farmers who
have regular income throughout the
year, and these are less puzzled as to
how to regulate their expenses.
The majority of farmers begin now
to get little money for garden truck.
but must wait for the bulk of their in
come until the harvest Is gathered in
the fall. Then the income comes in
large sums. and for time the delu-
sion of wealth exists.
The bills that have accumulated
through the year are gathered to-
gether. and when they are settled the
farmer finds the margin small indeed.
and perhaps against him, instead of in
his favor. Then he is discouraged.
He finds the trusts to which he be-
longs has been against him and oft
ener is inclined to withdraw from
his trust in natures recompens sc
than his trust In the village store.
He complains that nature has worked
against him; that he has done his best
and it avails him nothing, and resolved
that farming does not pay, either with
draws entirely from the work, or con
tinues with lack of zeal that makes
the work of nature doubly difficult.
The trust at the store is dangerous

and also, sun, rain and air do most
effective work in disintegrating Jumps
and compacting the particles. and these
laborers exact on hire and board them
selves. The earlier we pillow the
longer their season of work. Fourth,

where they will terminate. the seeds
of weeds and of grasses. If the plow-
ing is done early the growth from
these seeds will be destroyed by the
work OF fitting the seed-bed; while If
the blowing is done late. much of this
growth will come after the wheat is
sown, and grass and weeds will choke
and rob the wheat. Fifth. if spread
after the pillow. and as we fit the seed
bed the manure will be fined and incor-
porated with the upper soil. This is
as it should be. for wheat is among
the shallow feeders. and needs the
manure most in the fall and early
spring. while the plants are
yet small. Sixth. soils gain fer
tility from the atmosphere and
more from disintegration and
decomposition within themselves; and
both these gains are increased by plow-
ing, which facilitates the action of air,
sun and moisture; hence early blowing
enlarges these gains OF fertility.
Some make the very serious mistake
of not following close after the pillow
with the roller and the harrow, and as
a result the clods become all the harder
in the sun and hot wind. If the clods
are crushed and pressed down some
what, they will gain moisture from
below and will soften. Roller and
harrow are at this time put over the
ground but once, for If we use them
more we can not get the blowing done
in good season; and also the process
of compacting the ground may be car
ried too far, till it is seeding time

So confident are the manufacturers Of that
world-famed remedy, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, that it will do all that
they represent, in the cure Of liver, blood
and lung diseases, that, after witnessing its
thousands of cures for many years past
they now feel warranted in selling 1t (as
they are doing, through druggists) under q
positive guarantee of its giving satisfaction
In every case, or money paid for it will be
refunded. No medicine of ordinary merit
could be sold under such severe conditions
with profit to its proprietors, and no other
medicine for the diseases for which it is
recommended was ever before sold under q
guarantee of cure or NO pay. In all blood
taints and impurities of whatever name or
nature, it is most positive in its curative ef-
fects. Pimples, blotches, eruptiors and all
skin and scalp diseases are radically cured
by this wonderful medicine. Scrofulous
diseases may affect the glands, causing
dwellings or tumors; the bones, causing
sfever-sores, :" "white swellings" or ship
Joint disease - or the tissues Of the lungs
causing pulmonary consumption. No mat
ter In which one Of its myriad forms it crops

Discovery will cureitit used perseveringly

ELECTRIC MOTORS.

They VIII Soon Take the Place of Steam
Locomotives.
The practical usa of electricity as a
motive power during the past few years
has demonstrated that in the no dis
tant future it will, to considerable ex-
tent, supplant steam as the principal
agent in maintaining and fostering hui
man industry. Although electricity is
still but partially understood. and is
far from being under complete control
of those who use it, still the knowledge
OF its powers has reached a stage
where they can be successfully put to
thousand uses.
Electricity now moves all classes OF
small machinery, such as fans, eleva-
tors, printing presses. street cars and
other mechanical chef d'Buvres of
mans ingenuity. Judging from the
progress steam has made since its in
production less than Q hundred years
ago. there is every reason to believe
that electricity will reach an even
greater degree Of development.
As matter of fact electricity when
it shall become thoroughly subjugated
to mans will. will render possible the
accomplishment OF things that are
now but mere fanciful dreams. When
Jules Verne. that inimitable creator of
fantastic things. wrote his Forty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-"
and described vessel that travelled
beneath the waves by the aid OF cleo
trical machinery and was illuminated
by electric lights, he little imagined
that the time would so soon come when
his purely fanciful romance, concocted
merely to please the lovers of fiction.
would become possibility. The in
veution OF the storage battery and the
perfecting of the electric light seem to
indicate that the submerged ship Of
Verne" is now no more an impossi-
bility.
Modern invention has opened up the
possibility of electric motors to do the
work of the cannon bail" trains that
are now the wonder of the time. That
the competition of electricity in run
ming railway trains is looked for in
the near future is proven by the actual
existence OF companies controlling
patents that are expected to put cleo
tricity in service on railroads. Steam
seems now to have almost reached the
limit of its power in increasing the
speed of trains and engines have
grown in consequence of proportions
that in reason permit Of but little
further increase; but electricity. set
ting at naught rs it does all questions
Of bulk and weight promises to do in
an unknown degree what steam seems
incapable of doing. The powerful
agent that annihilates space and car
ries our thoughts to the ends Of the
earth in an instant may well be capable
Of transporting freight and even pas
sengers long distances in an incredibly
short time.-N. y. Picsyune.
