SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL
The Corn Harvest


In the southern part of the cotton
region the close Of September should
find ell the corn gathered and stored
away. There Is absolutely nothing
gained by letting the crop remain In

a few days. Our own rule was TO COM
meuce about the 10th of September
and make job of diminishing 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 of 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 on in the cob and
grain. regardless of the presence or
absence OF the blades. On level and
gently-rolling land-indeed wherever
a wagon may be driven along the rows

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

IT was revealed during the trial at
Jersey City of three boys-all under
fourteen-for stealing bottles of
liquor. that they had been addicted to
the use of intoxicants for some years.
They told the judge that they could
buy liquor in almost all the taverns in
the neigborhood of their homes.
1T is very difficult to realize"
says the London Hospital, "the exist
ence of trance other than catalep-
tic. Yet there have been known
cases, especially in habitual iuebri-
ates, where the patients go about tho
world, sane to all appearance, but
liable to commit the most extraor-
binary acts, including theft and other
crimes, of which, in their ordinary
condition, they can recall nothing.
They are not drunk, in the ordinary
sense of the term, but the habit OF
drinking has produced a partial
paralysis of brain-power.
CARDINAL MANNING is credited with
saying: Twenty years have taught
me that the great bar which, in our
day, closes the soul of man against
the word of God and the Holy Sacra-
ments is excess in intoxicating drink;
and that the surest discipline both for
the salvation of the Incorporate and
for the sanctification of the temperate
is total abstinence. Temperance is
good; total abstinence is better. We
are all pledged to Temperance by the
vows of our baptism. No one is
bound to total abstinence. 1t is the
free choice of those who aspire to
live by the counsel of a higher life "
IT is a painful fact that the num-
Der of suicides in France has, during
the last fifteen years. increased over

twelve months records S.202 as the
number for the period. The largest
cause is stated to have been insanity,
but 1t must not be overlooked that in
temperance was at the root of the
larger proportion of these cases. The
consumption of alcohol has increased
three-fold in France during the last
fifty years, and insanity four-fold, and

IN LIEU OF DRAM-SHOPS.
The Coffee House an Auxiliary to
Temperance Work.

Tho Coffee House as an Auxiliary to
Temperance Work.
In his article on prohibition in
Kansas" in the August number of the
Forum, Senator ingalls, makes use OF
the following language: Those who
would cure intemperance and reclaim
the drunkard should remember that
1t is not enough to close the dram
shop and destroy the distillery. They
must be replaced. Human nature abb
hors vacuum. When the unclean
spirit went out OF man. and, finding
no rest, returned to his empty, swept
and garnished house, seven devils en-
tered in and dwelt there, and the last
state of the man was worse than the
first"
The ideas here expressed are direct
ly in line with what we have said as to
the necessity of establishing resorts OF
some kind to fill the place now occu-
pied almost exclusively by the saloons
as ub-houses for the use and enjoy
ment of the masses. The need of such
resorts, we feel certain, would be
scarcely less imperative even though
law should be passed closing tho
dram-shops forever. Such law would
not insure every man a home and q
competence, nor would it do away
He would stifr desire, and rightly so,
all those things which the proposed
resorts would aim to supply amuse-
ment, social cheer and refreshment for
mind and body. The need of such in
stitutions as coffee-houses is Il need,
in brief, which exists and will continue
to exist wherever any large number
of people are gathered in commune
ty. 1t is need which is not contin.
gent upon the passage of any law or
constitutional amendment 1t is
need grounded in the very nature OF
men. and it must be satisfied, if not in
right ways, then in wrong ways.
The coffee-house would prove in
this country, as it has in Englanl, a
practical and powerful auxiliary to
Temperance work of all kinds.
Where prohibitive or rigidly re-
strictive laws prevail their enforce
ment would be attended with much
less difficulty, and where such laws
are being sought for it would render
their attainment far more certain and
easy. A well-mauaged system Of
coffee-houses would not only wean
thousands from their cups and from
the evil associations OF the saloons,
support and sympathy with the saloon
element in business and politics. Fill
the place of the saloon as social
center in the community and you
have deprived it OF the last and only
plausible excuse it has for being

pasture quite a number of different
species of grass mixed and sown to-
gether gives the best results, not only
because OF the doctrine OF natural Sc
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 ami
mails is gratified and stimulated by va
riety in the heritage provided.
In our humble opinion, just as GER
tainly as that 'all flesh is grass" the
future agricultural prosperity of this
South land will largely depend upon
the substitution of a system of which
grass and stock husbandry shall be a
very prominent feature. 1t 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 scale,
without having had any experience on
the subject. The cost of seed will
generally prevent a very extensive
venture into it by farmer who has
not realized to some extent the value
of grass when cultivated. 1t is best
to 'go slow" in inaugurating so radi-
cal a change as the substitution of one
system of husbandry for another.
There 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 rs
winter pasture grasses, the latter rs
merely incidental to its coming crop
of grain. There is absolutely no bot
ter grass for winter pasture than bar
ley or rye, for one winter alone. the
only drawback being its short life as
an annual. Dixie Farmer.
