SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Lucerne as a Forage Crop.

Lucerne, as a soiling and forage
crop, is specially adapted to the soil
and climate of the Southern States.
1t withstands the drought of summer
and the severest cold of this latitude.
II keeps constantly green and, during
mild winters, it is constantly growing.
Its roots penetrate from tea to twenty
feet beneath the surface. and, as it
draws q large part of its substance
from the atmosphere, it thrives and
grows vigorously where other plants
droop and die.
The soil best adapted to lucern is
rich sandy loan, with q good, we'll
drained subsoil. 1t will not grow upon
land that retains water. Before seed
ing, the land should be well broken
and thoroughly pulverized. The
analysis of lucerne would indicate that
good supply of lime in the soil will
be of advantage. II the land is put
in good filth after being well MANFRED,
know of no crop that will make a
more abundant yield than lucerne. My
first crop will be ready to cut by
April rs. Under favorable seasons
/ will be able to save four more during
the year. / do not believe there is any
known plant that will yield more nutri-
ment, per acre, than lucerne. Prof
Wreff's analysis OF lucerne, when in
blossom and cut for hay, shows, al
buminoids, 14.4; carbohydrates, 22.5;
crude fiber, 40; fat, 2.5, in 100 parts
The amount of forage that can be
grown on a suitable, well-prepared lot
of lucerne is wonderful. 1t is especial
ly adapted to the production OF milk
and butter Cows are very fond of it.
In a test, made in an experiment sta
ton in one of the Western States, it
was found to be an admirable food for
hogs. One acre will furnish sufficient
food for four cows, during the season
OF soiling One farmer claims to have
kept four horses on an acre from the
first of May until the first of October,
without any other food.
When quite young it is liable to be
overrun by weeds and destroyed. twill
be better, therefore, to SOW in the fall
in drills about Is or IS inches apart,
and keep entirely free from grass and
weeds for the first year. After that,
the growth will be sufficiently early
and vigorous to take care of itself. II
is sometimes sown broadcast, with
good results, but the crop is much
more certain if sown in drills and cul
tivated. After the first year it is only
necessary to top dress and lightly har
row. Properly cared for one seeding
will last ten or twenty years.
One farmer near me claims to have
saved ninety dollars from the use o
one acre in lucerne, as food for his
stock. In such sections of the STATE

THE LAND OF THE LEFT.

The warp that we wove and neglected tho

They are piled up so high
That they Craze the blue sky,
ana burden the earth In the Land OF tho Left
There is piled bottled thunder that never has

There is stored liyid lightning that never has

And there stands the Last who had hoped to be
First,
The lazy and luckless believer in luck:
And the hopes OF which we all our lives were
bereft
Stalk proudly and fair thro' the Land of the
Left;
And our gay dreams are there
Looking wondrousy fair
On the moonshiny strand OF the Land OF the
And the Office We run for that evermore skips
From our grasp, like q shadow, well catch in

For there Cabinet portfolios and postmaster
ships
Are thick as mosquitoes in camp-meeting

For Salt River cargoes Of wonderful he!t
Are dumped on the wharves OF the Land OF the
Left;
There the office we prize
Will materialize--
We will find it at last In the Land OF the Left.
Men left out in the cold will be pulled in to

Who all their lives long have chartered and
shivered,
And their cargoes from Spain will sail in from

And the 'letter they longed for" be duly de.

WORK DELIBERATELY.
The Man Who Can Do II Is tho One
Tint WIN Re Successful

The Man Who Can Do 1t Is the One
That WIN Re Successful
There are some things which must
be done in hurry, or not at all.
Catching flea is one of the best ex-
amples apropos to this. But as a
rule, it is safe to say, the man or
woman who works deliberately &C
complishes the most. The deliberate
worker is the thoughtful worker,
with whom the habit of system be-
come second nature. Any ore may
cultivate it who will take the trouble
to try; and the most unsystematic,
spasmodic worker will realize with
amazcment how easy it is to 60
through an allotted task in half the
time it formerly required by planning
it all out before entering the office,
workshop or kitchen.
The hurried worker is the one who
fancies he is an uncommonly busy
man. True, he is; so is the man who
tries to bale out leaky boat with q
crownless hat; and in proportion ia
the energy expended, very often, the
one accomplishes about as much as
the other The busiest men we have
known were those who never seemed
to be in a hurry, and they accom-
plished more in given time, and wer,
less worn out when their work wa:
done, than many who accomplished
half as much and almost rupturet
themselves in doing it.
Think of your work before begin
ming it. then 60 at it deliberately. 1
will save wear and tear of nerve anC
muscle, you will accomplish more
and what you do will be better done
