The Sweet Potato.

If a sweet potato crop could be planted with the same ease as a cotton crop; if the potato produced abundant seed like corn or peas, and could be dropped" as readily, the crop would become one of our leading food crops for man and ani- mals. If the more thrifty Yankee could make sweet potatoes as easily as we of the South, he would fatten his hogs and beeves, feed his horses and mules, his cattle and sheep, his poultry and-his wife and children; and ship them by the train load to the Southern cities. The number of bushels of potatoes saved for seed" and bedded for slips in February or March, usually controls the area planted, with greater or less supplemental planting with vines The man who will discover cheap and effective, and always relia- ble, method of preserving sweet potatoes during the winter and spring, will de- serve an enduring monument to his memory, and the everlasting gratitude of the farmer. But even If restricted to the use of the potato in it's fresh state, it will repay four-fold more attention than it ever has receiyed.-Dixie Farmer.

 PROVISION CROPS.
The Things Which Produce Feeling of
 Comfort on the Farm.


 The farmers generally are so nearly supplied with home-raised bread and meat, and are generally in so much bet ter condition than usual, that it may appear inappropriate to dwell upon the importance of making the most liberal arrangements for an ample supply of every thing that can be profitably grown at home. But experience and observation have taught us that at just such juncture as the present, when corn and forage, bacon, etc, are paraively abundant and cheap, and especially when the market price of cotton has been better than usual, and promises to main- tain it's tone, many farmers forget past experience and commence to enlarge cotton areas and reduce the size of corn and cat fields. Planting less corn, they commence stinting their hogs -'hedging" against a possible bad year" for corn. To use a Methodist word, they "backslide;" to use still stronger biblical phrase they return to the ''wallow." It is the big corn and cat harvests, the plenty of sleek, we'll fed horses, tho Smoke-house filled with bacon and lard-these give the feeling of comfort and satisfaction of independ- ence and prosperity, which does not generally follow big cotton crop-and a short supply of every thing else. We therefore urge every farmer to hold fast and persevere in the purpose to be independent Let Us hold on to the ad- vance already made and redouble our efforts on the same lines that have here tofore brought profit, satisfaction and comfort Don't pitch the corn and other provision crops on the assumption that it will be good for corn;" it may not. On the other hand don't count on any advance over the present price of cot ton; it may be lower. Whatever others may do, every farmer should pursue the course that Xperience-often severe teacher-has shown to be the best in the long run. Provide for plenty of grain and forage for horses, cattle, hogs and fowls. De- termine to make aplentyof those things that you can produce and must either produce or buy, or live in discomfort. To be able to say, "I never bought a sack of flour or pound of lard or butter in my life" is not commendable in farm CT who habitually lives on corn bread, fat Western bacon and sorghum sirup, and forces his family to do the same, rather than either produce the four, butter and lard on his own farm, or buy them in the market, southern Cultiva-

How to Prepare Hotbeds for Forcing
 Early Plants.

 How to Prepare Hotbeds for Forcing
 Early Plants.
 A place that faces the south and high enough to give good drainage is good situation for hot-bed. If it is protect cd on the north by tight fence or wind break, all the better. Dig out the place the size desired for the bed. Make it two or two and half feet deep. It will be more permanent if the inside is planked up so as to keep it from caving in. The top should be made slanting to the south and the sash be fitted down close so as to keep out the cold air as much as possible. Glass sash is much the best; the glass should be woll glazed in and the whole painted with good oil paint. Cloth can be made to answer, and is cheaper, but does not do so well. A mat, or two or more If the bed Is large, should bc made to cover the top in case the weather should turn cold. The frame can extend foot at least above the Surface at the back. and six inches at the front if the bed is not too wide. If a wide bed is made the back must, of course, be made higher, so as to give ouHloltH1 ldll to carry oH bHc "aVci readily.
 The best manure to use is that fresh from the horse stable. A good plan is to put thick layer of forest leaves in the bottom, or straw can be made to answer. If the manure is piled up in close conical heap three or four days before putting in the bed, 1t will heat quicker, although this is not strictly necessary. Fill into within a foot of the top on the lower side, stamping down well and evenly. It pays to use plenty of manure so that it will hold heat, especially if the bed is made early. Put a good layer of light rich losmy soil over this; four inches will be enough if it is spread evenly over the top. If the manure has not been piled up and start ed to heating before putting in the bed, the best plan is to wait three or four days before sowing the seed. In order to economize space mark out the bed in rows before sowing the seed. Be careful not to SOW the seed too thick. If the seed is sown too thick the plants will grow up weak and spin ding; give them plenty of room so as to have good stocky plants. Cover the seeds very little, taking pains to dis tribute as evenly as possible in the rows. Protect at night and on cold stormy days with a covering and take every opportunity of giving the plants the benefit of the sunlight, and when- ever the weather is mild let them be aired thoroughly. For few days be- fore transpianting open the sashes and air thoroughly; this will help to harden the plants If weeds start up they should be pulled out, and it may be necessary to dust the plants with slug shot or some other insecticide. Before the first plants are taken out, seed for later setting can be sown between the rows and second crop can be had with little trouble.-St. Louis Republic.

table birds, and very readily assume fat.
 The Jersey Blues are not highly rec ommendcd either as egg-producers or table birds.
 The Polish are the handsomess of fowls, excellent layers, but not recom- mended for the table.
 The hamburgs are persistent layers, but of no account for the table.
 The American Dominiques are the original American fowl. They are good layers and table birds, and just the farmers fowl.
 The Game class are second to mono for table use, and also possess a cred- itable egg record. .-Dixie Farmer.

The Spanish Peanut,

The introduction of the Spanish pea nut into the South is proving very blessing. It is very early, prolific, easy of cultivation, easy to harvest, and ex- ceedingly fattening. Bacon ought not to cost a Southern farmer more than three or four cents per pound, raised at home, if he will avail himself of natur- al advantages, and escape the cholera. We advise every farmer to get seed of this new variety in time to plant in April and May, and again in June and July-Dixie Farmer

HUMAN HAPPINESS.
1t Is Secured When Physical and Mental
Labor Are Judiciously Mingled.

It Is Secured When Physical and Mental
Labor Are Judiciously Mingled.
Work either of the muscles or the
brain, is one of the conditions of human
happiness. Without it there can be DO
wholesome enjoyment The idle man
either seeks substitute for the healthy
excitemens of labor in vicious indul-
gence, or degenerates into being only
few degrees above the lower animals
His soul and mind, in the one case, be-
come degraded and debased by false
uses; in the other, they rust within
him, and he is left to the government of
the mere instincts which he possesses
in common with the brute.
The truest life-that most accordant
with our nature-is one in which phys
ical and mental labor are judiciously
mingled, alternating with such recrea-
ton as tends to refresh and renovate
both. Neither constant bodily toll nor
incessant study is advisable. When the
muscles are tired give them recess
and do little head-work. When both
head and hand are weary, try amuse-
ment-light reading of a wholesome
kind, romp with your chill
dren, II you have any, social even
ing with neighbor-any thing, in fact,
that may properly be termed innocent
relaxation. This is rational life It is
a sort of life that may be warranted to
wear well, and it will not be clouded
with fits of the blues. He who lives it
will be younger in feeling at three
score than, the fast man, whose career
has been a gallop after excitement, at
thirty-fve.
If you belong to the working world,
and eat your bread in the sweat of your
brow, do not fancy that you have, there
fore. no opportunity to enrich your
mind. Labor, thank Heaven, is not SO
ill-paid in this country that the toiler
can not afford to throw down his tools
now and then and cultivate his intel
lect. Two-thirds, at least of our dis
tinguished men have been farm Ia
borers and handicraftsmen. Very few
of them were college Bred Our com
mon schools impart all the instruction
necessary to enable their pupils, in
after life, to educate themselves thor
oughly in the higher branches of knowl-
edge. With the foundation thus laid,
what is there that persevering and
ambitious American can not teach him.
self? Nothing, we believe, that the
human mind is capable of mastering.
Let it never be forgotten that our
greatest statesmen, discoveries, invent
ors, scholars and artists have sprung
from the ranks of labor, not from the
s1lk-stocking classes.-N. Y. Ledger

JUDGE COOLEYS WAY.
How He Hunted Up Evidence Against n
Railroad Company.

How He Hunted Up Evidence Against n
Railroad Company.
railroad ticket agent yesterday, in
commenting upon the indiscriminate
cutting by brokers, told this: ''Judge
Cooley has way of rounding up the
scalpers that puts a stop to their opera
tions in short order. He does not wait
for the railroads to bring in evidence
against them, but just goes out on a still
hunt by himself, and generally goes
home with his bag full. The last time
he was in Chicago he dropped in sort of
incidentally upon one of the most OBJ
noxious of the brotherhood, and brought
him into camp in manner which gave
the other scalpers cold feet for month.
''What can I get a ticket to New York
for?" said he, leaning confdentially
over the counter and tipping wink to
the man behind.
Seventeen, replied the broker,
briskly.
Cant you do any better than that?''
responded Judge Cooley, persuasively.
Well, the broker thought that he could,
and finally arranged to give the Judge
four tickets way down below the legal
rate.
"Well, bring them around to my room
at the Grand Pacific tonight" said the
Judge, Il haven't the full amount with
me-" So at the appointed hour the
broker appeared at the rooms of the
Judge. The Judge received him kind
ly.s "Hold up your right hano," said he
casually. The broker did so with some
amusement. ''Now," continued the
Judge, ''do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth?"
''I'll be hanged if l do any thing of
the kind said the broker, as his ex-
preston changed to blank amazement,
and his hand dropped like shot.
sob, I guess you will returned
Judge Cooley with careless drawl;
''here's my friend, the United States
marshal, sitting by my side, and you
will be given over to his custody if you
don't. So, now, sit down in that chair
and tell Judge Cooley, of the Interstate
Commission, all about those tickets you
offered to sell him below the legal rate
this afternoon. | want to know exactly
how much each road got for them and
your commission"
The broker fell in limp heap in the
chair, and before he left the room the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
exacted some information which struck
the brokers all in heap the day after.
