All truly scientific farmers are now
agreed that level and shallow after
culture is best for both corn and cot
ton. Deep blowing near the plants,
after they have attained to considera-
BILE size, lacerates the root and checks
growth. 1t is surely root-pruning,
which cannot be otherwise than iniU-
rious. The plant needs all the feeder
roots it can throw out, and to the ex-
tent that these are broken of the
plant is robbed Of its ability to take
in from the soil those elements that
contribute to its sustenance and in
sure its growth. But there are cir
cumstance that must be taken into
consideration. The level culture plan
from the start, Gas now extensively
advocated and doubtless the best
system, presumes that the land was
deeply and thoroughly prepared tor
putting up the crop. Where this has
been otherwise or, in other words,
where the land has been carelessly
listed or bedded up, leaving the mid
dies unbroken, Ga too a common
practice), shallow and level culture
from the start will not do. Those
middles must be broken, and that of
course requires deep blowing. But
for best resultsit should pc attended
to while the plants are young, and
before they have sent their roots
much beyond the line OF the row
proper; after that the land should be
brought to level as nearly as posi-
Bile, and all subsequent workings
should be shallow.

A VALUABLE PONY.

Willacoochee News: Abouttwelve
or fourteen years ago Mr.. Elijah Tan
er brought from Texas wild Texas
pony, which he traded to Col. JIM.
Denton of this county. The pony,
which we shall call "Old Ball." was
not all complacent, but was high
headed, stiff-necked, independent
creature. The Colonel lost his hold
one day, when Ball put out at
break-neck speed, seeking refuge in
the forrest, creeks swamp. The
colonel followed in hot pursuit, but,
after an unsuccessful chase of sever
al days, left him in bay in Pierce
county and returned home, thankful
that the wild "varmint was gone.
About six months later Col. Denton
learned sone negroes had captured
and in measure tanned Ball, and had
cultivated their crops with him. The
colonel sent tor him, and soon had
him in the fold again. Ball, still re-
tanned his stiff-neck kicking qualities
which led his owner, for great sum,
to trade him to Mr.. H. Peterson, who
put him upon mail route, carrying
the mail from Douglas to Blackshear
and Pearson, which held about sew
en- years, earning more than $1,000.
Mr.. Peterson traded the horse twice,
but somehow he would fall into his
possession again. Last winter he
sold him to Mr. Gaskin, of this place,
who would not sell him for twice the
sum he paid Tor him. Ball is CON
sidered one of the toughest and best
travelling horses in the country.
Gentle usage and good treatment,
for number of years, has elimina-
ted from him his stiff-necked quail
ties, and he is quietly doing his mas
ter's biddings, with about $4,000 to
his credit.

PROFITS.

The New York Times figures it
out that the average farmers income
is fully thirty per cent. of his capt.
tai.
Suppose, says the Times, that a
farmer should move to the city. He
would have to spend twenty per
cent. of the value of his farm in
household expenses in order to Sc
cure all the comforts of his old life
in his new home. Then, there is
another thing TO be considered.
The farmer works less than the
average business man. He has
more freedom, and it is easier for
him to take day off than it is tol
the city toiler. The risk of loss in
farming is smaller than it is in al.
most any business in the city.
This encouraging view of the
farmers profits is fully Substantially
the facts of the case. The small
farmer, for instance, the man who
has from three to five thousand dol
lars invested in land, stock and i'm
plements, will get better living out
OF his property than a merchant
with the same capital. The fact
that when farmers borrow money or
buy supplies on time they pay a
bigger interest than any other class
of people show that, however much
they grumb)e, their work is profit
able beyond many lines of industry.
Many farmers think they get a
very poor return for their labor be-
cause they do not accumulate mon
ey. This is not the way to look at
it. When man with only few
thousand dollars, makes first class
living for his family, without run
ming much of a risk, he is doing
we'll, and this is precisely what the
average farmer is doing.

A Lovely Woman

overheard one say of her, 'By
heavensl she's painted! eyes," re-
torted she, Indignantly, and by
heaven only. Rudy health man
tled her cheek, enthroned on the
rose and lily. Yet this beautiful
lady, once thin and pale, with dry,
hacking cough, night-sweats, and
slight splitting of blood, seemed
destined to fill a consumptive's
grave. After spending hundreds of
dollars on physicians without bene-
fit, she tried DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery; her improve
ment was soon marked, and in a few
months she was plump and rosy
again, the picture of health and
strength. 1t Is the only medicine
OF its class, sold by druggists, under
a positive guarantee that it will
benefit or cure III all cases of
disease for which it is recommended,
or money paid will be promptly
refunded.

While alone for most of my time, | have
been occasionally brought in contact with
familiar names. In London lunched at
Gallaher's. Faulkner's and Lucass. Indeed,
the latter name seems cosmopolitan. Isaw
it over three shops in London. On my ar
rival in France, at Dieppe, found the fine
hotel kept by Henri Lucas. In Paris l
found a Lucas House (Maison Lucas near
the Madeleine. The director of the dinner
concert at the Grand Hotel is Eusebe Lucas
Among the Belgian exhibitors at the Expo
sition Is a Lucas, and among the bull-hght-
ers ut the great Spanish Buli-hght IN the
Bots de BOlogne is another Lucas.
The above is an extract from a Paris let
ter of Hon. VIM L. Wilson. We knew that
the Gallahers came from the Irish kings,
and that not much to boast of, and are not
surprised that one strayed off into London
and became an Inn Keeper; but we are Ia
ken a-back by the information that the
Faulkners were Restaurateurs and the Luz
cases were French cooks and Spanish bull
fighters BY the way. it is reasonable
conclusion that Mr.. Wilson spent a smart
deal of his observatory force in scanning
the signs of hostelries and otherwise Skin
mishing around for refreshment
