RAISING MULES.

The editor Of the South is of the
opinion that among all the stock in
dustries now engaging the attention
of Southern people there la none
that will give better result than
mule raising. The mule is pecu-
liarly adapted 20 our climate, not
only in its successful raising, but is
used in all the work of farm and
road. AS source of profit for the
race course it would probably be a
failure; and it may be said that one
end of it is but seldom named. But
for profit to the raiser and good in
all the varied industries of local
commerce transportation and farm
work the mule is superior to every
other domestic animal, and will
give better results for the amount
invested.
In some localities of the south
far-seeing citizens with capital are
arranging to enter largely into the
business of embarrassing. 1t will
pay largely, our contemporary pro-
fesseS to feel sure of course proper
management is pre-supposed. In
Missouri more money has been
made by raising mules, for many
years, than raising any other char
acter of farm stock.
Before the war the mule was the
grand motive power of all agricul-
tural industry in the South. It is
being demonstrated every day that
the South can raise the mule cheap
er and as fine as the grain states of
the Mississippi valley. There is no
kind of stock raising that has SO lit
tie risk from disease. The per cent.
of loss from any and every source
will not reach 5 per cent. of capital
invested. The only reason that
mule raising on large scale is not
more general in the South is that it
requires considerable capital, and
this will always operate to prevent
too much competition.

ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT.
MARIETTA URNAL IS THE
official Organ Of the Farmers Alliance
Of Cobb County.

Southern farmers, as a general
rule, pay little attention to the
small industries of the farm. At
least that is what is said by close
observers of our industrial pursuits.
We have seen it stated by those who
are intimately acquainted with the
industrial habits of the people Of
the sterile states Of Vermont, New
Hampshire, and other New England
States that these things are source
of great profit in them and but for
their constant and great attention
to them they would fail to make a
good living. In the South on the
cotton plantations scarcely any at
tention is | aid to them. This is all
wrong. 1t would be an easy matter
to realize a handsome little sum from
butter, poultry, fruits and vegeta-
bles, without looking, altogether to
the main crops of cotton, corn, oats,
&c. A systematic arrangement can
be easily made to take in these
smaller crops. We have been pleas
ed to notice occasionally how hand
some sums were obtained for butter,
eggs, chickens and fruits on planta-
tions besides the staple crop of cot
ton. All farmers should have good
orchards Of q variety of fruits, and
it is easy to turn a portion into a
money valuation. The increase of
the population of the cities and
towns furnish markets that are east
ly and speedily reached over the
many railroads that arc annihilat-
ing distance. If all cannot be ben
Gifted by them very large numbers
can be and innumerable advantages
afforded tor the sales of many arti-
cles raised on the farms which form
erly had only local value.

A REWARD FOR A RAMIE MACHINE

The prize of 10000 francs offered
by the French government for a
machine that would successfully
separate the fiber of the ramie plant
from the woody portion of the stem
was not awarded to any of the ten
competitors at the trial made in
September last. The strength, fine
luster and beauty of fabrics made
from ramie are undeniable, but the
cheap separation of the silky fiber
from the rosinous, woody substance
with which it is incorporated has so
far defed the ingenuity of mechan-
les and chemists. Give the reuui-
site means OF decortication, and
there is no doubt that the ramie
plant would take its place with cot
ton, flax and hemp as valuable ad-
dition to the textile production of
this country.-Philadelphia Record.
The true lady or gentleman never
forgets common politeness to all
with whom they come in contact:
and the surest sign of the social
pretender is displayed in public in
civility to others. The genuine
lady or gentleman is always so well
assured of her or his position that
they dignity it by courtesy to all
who may merit it, regardless OF con-
dition or circumstance, while the
upstart, uncertain of position, re-
peats upon others the snub he or
she received, in the effort to climb
into social recognition.
The true lady and gentleman are
ever polite and courteous to all
when those admirable qualities can
be exhibited on all proper occasions,
it is always safe to assume that vul-
garity is masquerading in the thin
disguise Of the gentleness that ever
makes the lady and the gentleman.

THE SEASON FOR MANURE.


Now is the time for farmers to be
active and vigilant in their effort to
secure a supply of those manures
for the use on the years crop.
The order in which they may be
classed in respect to quality, says
the Southern Cultivator, may be
stated as follows: Farmyard, sta
bic, hogpen, ashbanks and house
Stops and poultry houses. If prop
erly handled, their merit in respect
to fertilizing properties will be re-
versed in the order named. This is
intended as mere suggestive note,
and we hope will be accepted as
such. The subject is one of such
Importance that an attempt to elabo-
rate it would require more capacity
than we claim and more space than
We now command. We may, how
ever, venture to impress these few
facts:
Manure will compensate farmer
for all the labor and care he may de-
vote to its accumulation. The ma
nure bank, as has been quantity
said, is the farmers bank, and pays
the best dividends. All manure, as
far as possible, should be kept I'M
der shelter; as the piles are added
to by the changing OF the stall and
pens, plaster ought to be used freely
to fix the nitrogen which is gener-
ated by fermentation dry bedding
of straw, leaves or other available
materials in ample quantity should
be supplied to the animals and re-
move the manure pile as soon as it
becomes foul; composing with wood
mould, scraping from fence corners,
or swamp muck, instead of simply
piling, will increase bulk and hold
all the gasses and juices of the ami
NAL deposits which have valuable
fertilizing properties, and in this
process also plaster should be lib
orally used hen manure especially
should be kept dry, and to insure
this, the henhouse ought to have
hard clay foor-a plank one would
be better-and the droppings SHOW
elled or swept with stiff broom in
to corner every few days and plas-
ter sprinkled literally over the pile
with each addition thereto an ash
bed is necessity where all ashes on
the premises are to be deposited as
we'll as house and kitched sweep
ings, bones and Stops, and to fur
nish sufficient supply of absorbent
material, it will be we'll to add a
load or TWO occasionally. A meth
odical system in all these respects
will astonish farmer as to how
much and how valuable his manures
will be.

To be Proud Of.

It always gives us pleasure to record the successful result of we'll directed effort in any department of business, especially when that success Is backed by merit, and tends to promote the general welfare. Competition In all branches of business at this time Is great, and he who by energy, integrity and perseverance takes the lead Is worthy of commendation. Tn this connection we allude to Dr. Tut, Of New York, who has achieved 6 great victory over long established com petitors in the introduction of his world renewed Liver Pills. In . comparatively short time they sur passed pills that had been before the public over . quarter of . century. Tutt's Liver Pills have gained . popu- larity unparalleled. Indorsed by the Medical Faculty in Europe and America, they have become . house hold word on both continents.
 Dr. Tut deserves, and doubtless has, the gratitude of thousands of invalids who have been healed by his medicine. In this age of quackery 1t is refreshing to know that there is at least one who furnishes remedy prepared on scientific principles, and offers 1t to the sick conscientiously. We record his success with Q feeling of pride which every American should have at the triumph of one Of his countrymen.

LOOKING FORWARD.
BE LIKE START.

In Edward BellAmy's novel, enti- tied "Looking Backward" the hero of the story Is put into q mesmeric traESe and remains in that condition one hundred years, and when he wakes up he finds that the whole condition of things Is changed. There Is no more poverty and no more long hours for some people and loafing around for others. Everybody has to work, and consequently the hours of work are very much reduced in almost every de- partment of labor. Money has no longer any value and the wealth that Ia produced Is distributed around equally to each inhAbitant in the coun- try. This delightful state of things is brought about by the government be- coming the gigantic monopolist of the future.
 John Smith, a Detroiter, was look ing for work. He had a very great difficulty In finding anything to do. John had got a first-rate diploma from 6 commercial college, and he now wanted occupation as a clerk. He found that the clerkships of Detroit were about all taken up and that the clerk market was entirely overcrewded. He bought c paper-covered novel by Tolstoi, and crawled into one of the back windows of the Riddle house, where he could rest undisturbed. Mounting up the deserted stairs of that tremendous edifce, he speedily found himself in the upper story, where he could overlook the river and enjoy the wonderful sight of the traf- fic going up and down that beautiful stream. He took chair that was cov- cred with dust, and having brushed 1t off, placed 1t near the window which he opened, and there sat down to read the Tolstoi novel. Naturally, he went to sleep, and having read nearly all the novel, he slept soundly for one hundred years. Although the hotel had been leased several times during that period, the young man sleeping In his chair with Tolstoi's novel on his lap and his feet on the window sill was never discovered until, at last, the hotel being about to be converted into great factory, the workmen came upon the young man sleeping in his chair. A physician was called and after great deal of manipulation the young man was aroused to life again. He found the city very much changed from what it had been when he went to sleep, and he started out again in search of clerkship. He entered a large and prosperous looking dry goods store, and asked to see the pro- prietor. When he was shown into that gen.leman's private office, he told him he had . diploma from the De- troit business college and he would like the situation as . ok-keeper. The merchant looked up at him in astonishment, ,.And calling his partner

oiorksnip. The other was co mst0m- ished he could not speak, and both of them looked rather alarmed at the young man.
 "Is ttere anything unusual In a man asking for Q situation2 or course If you haven't a situation vacant there is no harm done" sAid MT. Smith.
 "Where were you raised7" said the merchant, "thAt you take this method Of getting a place1 guess you must have been asleep for 6 hundred years. That Is the way they used to do things in the nineteenth century, but not at all the way they do now"
 Young Smith explained how he had started reading Tolstoi's novel and what effect 1t had had on him, and how he had slept for hundred years, and this explained the matter to the merchants.
 "Oh, well" said the merchant, i've do things very much differently now adays. Nobody ever looks for work now. The trouble with the nine- teenth century wes this: People went into occupations for which nature had not at all qualified them, and this caused great many businesses to be managed uneoonomically and badly in every respect and was the cause of numerous disasters and failures One failure generally brought on another and big failure In the country some times produced e-spread disaster. Thus, people who were really qualified for the business they were In were brought down by those other people who had no adantahility. for their DC. equations, and thus 1t went on until the great discovery of Edison's."
 "Ah," said Smith, "which discovery was that7 The telephone or the elec- tric light or the phonograph1"
 The merchant looked somewhat bewildered. "I did not know that Edison invented any of these things" !"
 "Ob, yes, he did," Iaid Smith. "Thomas Alva Edison"
 "Ah, I beg your pardon" said the other, ''I am talking Of Richard Edi- son."
 "Oh, really, never heard of him, !" said the young man.
 al think" said the other merchant, "that he Is a son of the Edison that this young man speaks of. believe I have heard 1t said that Richard Edi- sons father was an inventor, although, of course, very little Is known of him. "
 "Well, what was this invention you speak off" said MT. Smith of the nine- teenth century to MT. Brown of the twentieth.
 al don't know that 1 am right in calling 1t an invention" said the other, ait was rather 6 series of discoveries, discoveries which are 90 simple that they ought to have been found out long before. Had you nothing in the nineteenth century that indicated its coming? Was there nobody who could read the mind of anybody else, for instance2"
 "Oh, yes," said Smith, i've had lots of mind readers. They went round and gave exhibitions of their power in that respect"
 "Ah, we'll, that was the indication of what was coming, I presume. The great discovery of the twentieth cen- tury has been the investigation in the science of the mind. Now, there is a committee of mind readers which c person like you, for instance, goes be- fore.
