in Five Years-The Average by States.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10.-The
statistical report for July for the
Department of Agriculture shows i'm
provement in the status of cotton,
the average of condition having ad-
vanced from SS.S to OLA. There was
generally excess Of moisture until
about the tenth of June with fine
weather since, giving opportunity for
the destruction of grass and for
thorough cultivation. On the Allan
tic coast the crop generally is in ad-
vance while it is late in the south
west, where planting was delayed by
overfows and by heavy rains. That
which was planted early began to
bloom from the 18th to the 25th and
in the southwest some bolls are re-
ported as early as June the Goth.
While the plant in various stages OF
advancement, from the wide range of
seeding, it is now almost invariably
in full vigor of growth, of good color,
and high promises, very free from
rust, free from worms, except weak
mvasions of first breeds in the more
southern belt. The present average
of July conditions has been exceeded
only once in the last five years. It is
stated as follows, by States:

Served Longer than Jacob.

W. A. Pollard, farmer who lives
in this county, was in the city few
days ago, and to some of his friends
he told the following story. which is
vouched for by those living in his
neighborhood: About nineteen years
ago Mr.. Pollard hired himself to the
late Alex. Spiners, wel-to-do far
mer Of this county. The first month
he received a suit of clothes as pay.
Mr.. Pollard was then employed per-
1nanently as farm hand He had
been with Nh. Spillers but a short
time when girl child was born to
Mrs. Spillers. An hour after it was
born Nj. Pollard asked Nh. Spillers
to give him the child as his wife when
she arrived at the proper age. Mr..
SpIlers consented, and said if Mr..
Pollard stayed with him he should
have his daughters at sixteen. Through
sixteen years the young man worked
with his employer and at sixteen
claimed the young lady as his fance
and was soon after married to her.
He is now the father of two children,
and at Mr.. Spiller's death he left
his son-in-law $1,000 in cash for
the sixteen years he had so patient
ly waited for his wife.-Greenville

not the day OF the nations birth,
nor the beginning of the wal, nor the
day Of the last great victory, nor the
day when peace was made. 1t is a
singular coincidence that the battle
of Lexington, where the first blood
was shed in the old revolution, was
fought on the 18th of Aprl-the
same day of the same month that
closed the late wal. ninety years af-
terward. Sherman and Joe John
ston made peace on that day at Dur
hams station. in North Carolina. In
the beginning of the first revolution
eleven of the colonies seeded. In
the second revolution eleven States Sc,
ceded. Secession and rebellion began
with the fathers and ended with the
sons. It began in defense of a princi-
pie, little tax of three pence apound
on tea. All other duties on imports had
been removed, and King George de-
clared that he would keep little tax
on tea, not for revenue, but to show
the colonies that England had q
right to tax-that was all. Where
there is will to fight, excuses are
plenty. The colonies had been quar-
reling with the parent government
for years and were tired. So it was
with the North and the South. They
had been quarreling for fifty years,
and the fight had to come. Itwasn't
the election of Lincoln, but it was
the pent up bitterness Of half a cen
tuly that had to explode.
And we are quarreling again, and
if we keep on there will be another
fight some time. Human nature is
the same now that it was then, and
there are more causes Of quarrel than
a little tax on tea. What is the mat
ter with this American people? l
wonder if these farmers can't stop
the fuss when they get into power.
For the Lords sake, gentlemen, do
start us on an era of peace and good
will, and let the next Fourth Of July
celebrate a victory over hate and pre-
iudice and the inordinate love Of
other peoples money. Bill ARP.

COUNTING UNCLE SANS NOSES.
Machines That Beat the Human Brain In
Computing Returns

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Nice-looking
girls in clean, white aprons are the
busy hands in machine shop on the
third floor Of Ninth street building.
It is the census bureau, and the girls
work on those wonderful counting
machines, which come sonear human
intelligence in computing the returns
sent from all sections of this big
country for the census Of 1870: At
.i.st glance the machines remind one
OF ;..4 upright piano. They have hand
some oak cases and each one occu-
pies about the same space o piano
does. They are, however, eninently
practical machines, and with their
aid some fifteen young ladies can
count accurately 100000 names q
day. It is expected that when the
work of counting the census returns
really begins there will be seventy or
eighty of these machines at work.
The returns from the census dis
tricts throughout the country are
coming in slowly. There are more
than $4,000 of these districts, and so
far only about $500 districts have
sent in the returns. As fast as the
returns come in they are counted, al
though not as rapidly as they will be,
as it is necessary to train the young
ladies in the use of the machines. In
making this count, which is known as
the trough count" the returns for
each distgict are counted twice. After
being counted on one machine they
are passed over to another, and when
the latter count is completed the two
are compared, and if there are dis
crepancies necessary corrections are
made. Following this method, if the
total population of the country is
60,OOO,OO0 there will be counted in
the census Office an equivalent to
120,000,000 names.
The machines, which are the inven-
ton of Mr.. Hollelith, and supplement
his tabulating machines, are very
simple. A key board, resembling
that Of a typewriter, is at the right
of the operator. Each key has
number from one to twenty. The
operator has a pile Of census sched-
ules at herIeft side, and, as she turns
the schedules over, she notes the
figures which indicate the number of
members in each family enumerated
in that schedule. If there are five in
family she strikes the key marked
five. When a key is struck an cleo
tric connection is established with
the hands on a dial in the frame work
in front of the operator.
That dial is marked No. 5, which
means it records the number of fami-
lies consisting Of five persons. Each
time the No 5 key is struck No. 5 dial
records one. When the count is
completed the recorded number on
each dial is multiplied by the num-
Der of the dial, the results added up
and the total number of Individuals
in that district is ascertained. If the
result is obtained by a different oper-
ator, then it is concluded that the
count is correct. It is expected that
by the use of these machines the re-
suits of the census will be known
much sooner than by any other known
m etho1

THE VALUE OF TURNiPS.
Sugge stI0ns> or Ure,uf esur cSr mp
Crops-When and How to Plant

SUSSe StrO1S~o U1fc'OfS IcSC tsifS7
Crops-When and How to Plant
In cool climates the turnip crop is
quite an important one, being used
quite extensively for feeding sheep.
The climate of the cotton States does
not suit the turnip sufficiently well to
warrant its being ranked IS staple
crop. Other crops, like the sweet
potato, can be raised more easily and
proftably for stock feed. Still the
turnip has some value as e succulent
stock food in winter, and contributes
something to the health of stock,
though not very nutritious. For ia
bic and for stock it should claim at
least patch on every farm.
Success in raising the turnip de-
pends very largely on the preparation
of the land, almost as much as in the
manure applied. Perhaps no crop
demands finer tilth. 1t is important,
therefore, to begin the preparation of
turnip land early. It is none too
early now to begin. The first thing
is to break the land thoroughly and
deep. If left all cloddy the roller and
harrow should follow TIE plow at
once. After the next rainfall plow
again across the first, and follow as
before with roller and harrow. If
one has no roller, make drag, by
mailing lumber 10x2 to. two slides
sloped upward at front, nailed on
weatherboard fashion, and drag it
over the land. It will grind and pull
verize the clods very nicely. About
five pieces eight feet long will suffice.
This is very valuable implement on
farm.
Next to preparation comes manur-
ing. Turnips will not grow on poor
land-it should be made exceedingly
rich. Cow-penning is excellent for
the purpose, but this practice is be-
coming less practiced than it used to
be. Some stable OF lot manure should
be put on the land before the first
blowing, with a view to getting it
fined and well mixed with the soil.
Before the second plowing this should
be supplemented with heavy dress.
ing of phosphate-say, at the rate OF
1000 pounds per acre. This fertlll-
zer is peculiarly adapted to the tur-
nip. Some nitrogen and some potash
are needed also, but phosphate IS the
chief manure it calls for. Not only
should a liberal dressing of this be
given broadcast, but if the seed are
drilled a little phosphate should be
put in the drill also, to push the crop
forward rapidly out of the way OF the
flea bug. A moderate dressing OF
cotton seed meal and some ashes or
kainit should be given also.
On excessively rich land fine crops
Of turnips may be raised by sowing
seed broadcast, but on ordinary land
better results will follow sowing IN
drills two to two and half feetapart,
thinning out the crop and working 1t
with plow and hoe. Our experience
is, that in our hot, dry climate the
turnip should not be sown arly-
from first Of August to middle of Sep
tember is the best seeding period.

A New Cotton Pest.

A new and very destructive cotton
pest has appeared in Madison parish,
Louisiana, doing great harm to the
young cotton plant. The insect,
which has never been seen before, IS
a small beetle, about an inch long,
very active on the wing, and able to
hop aboutlike flea. It has devoured
almost everything green wherever it
has appeared: but particularly the
Young cotton, which it totally de-
stroys, while the older plants look as
though they had been frost-bitten:
The cotton beetle is as yet confined
to only a portion Of Madison parish,
and an attempt is being made to ex-
terminate it with Paris green:
Specimens will be sent to the United
States sEntomologist at Washington
for classification.

it will not, it will be law that will
