IFor THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
A ~LATTERDAY SONG.
BY PROF. J. P. TEL

Come, fill up your glasses, fellows,
Come and stand out in a row,
For the man who grows our fodder
We are going for to go.
Of his presence in the country
We have scarcely been aware,
TIL OF late we've shook the bushes,
And have found that he Is there.
Like a nest Of quiet hornets
He concerned US not q bit,
Till we Jared hin once too often,
Leading to "get up and getl"
Now he's buzzing in his millions
Dangerous millions t neglect
So ill up your glasses, fellows;
Best TO treat him with respect.
First, of politics we ranted-
Preached that party tricks were meant
Till we found he wasn't soaring
Worth a continental cent.
So there now is nothing left US
But TO stand out in a row,
Tipping the determine ed farmer
All tOgetheF-heTe we go!

Magistrates, County officers, Lawyers
and Business Men.
NOW READY
THE NORTH CAROLINA
MANUAL Of Law and FORMS.
THE LATEST AND BEST,
All the FORMS and CHANGES, IN
Guiding those passed by the Legis-
lature of 1889.

Col. Walter Clark, author of "Clark's
Code of Civil Procedure, Overruled Cases"
&C., writes:
Ihave examined with much care and in
terest The North Carolina Manual of Law and
Forms, by Messrs. Jones and Holding. The
work has been compiled with great care and
labor. 1t is well designed and well executed.
Justices of the peace, counts officers, lawyers
and Business Men will find in a compiled
form, ready to hand, much serviceable infor-
nation that cannot be found anywhere else
without considerable labor and research. 1t
is a most excellent work and should command
q large sale.

NJ. B. Barbee, Esq, one of the leading JUS
tees of the Peace in North Carolina, says:
find in The North Carolina Manual Of a
and Forms q work more thoroughly adapted to
the needs of Justices of the Peace, to guide
them in their official duties, than any work
yet seen by me. I take pleasure in recon-
mending it to the Magistrates ofthe State.
C. D. Upchurch, Clerk of Superior Court Of
Wake county, writes:
In it are more statutes, forms and decisions
relating to the duties of county officers, and
especially to clerks of the Superior Courts,
than I have been able to find in any other
book. No county officer ought to be without
such an excellent aid.
Ia. Murchison, Esq, of Dunn, n. G., says:
It is the best form book for North Carolina
Lawyers, Justices of the Peace, Business Men,
&C., that / have ever seen.

On BaCging Grapes,

Bulletin No. Q of the Alabama expert
ment station devoted TO grape culture,
says the principal enemies TO the grape
are birds, insects, mildew and black rot.
The grapes may be protected from these
by covering the punches with paper bags
as soon as the berries are well set, at q
cost of siX-tenths of one cent
per pound. Except for extra
large punches, The ordinary
two-pound bag used by retail merchants
is used. These are slipped over the
lunches, the corners folded and pinned
around the stem of the bunch. A boy
twlve years old can pin on 1900 per day
if the vines are properly trained on
the trellis. The bags cost SI.20
per thousand, and if carefully
removed from the ripe punches may be-.
used the second time. The bags are put
in packages of 500 each, and these in fl
ties. Before opening these packages an
opening should be made in the bottom Of
each bag by driving a sharp ohisei
through the ends Of the packages of ff-
ties. With one stroke of the mallet the
openings are thus made in fifty bags.
The object of making this opening is to
allow the escape of any water that may
find access TO the bags. 4 large number
of bags have been used during the last
two seasons upon many varieties, and
the result has given perfect satisfaction.
But there must be no mistake about the
time of putting on the bags. II not put
on until the berries are pretty well grown
they will not protect against black rot,
though they may prove effectual enough
against birds and insects. To meet
every requirement they must, as above
stated, be put on so soon as the berries
have fairly set. Tests were made on
most OF the varieties grown IN Texas.
The punches came from the bags entirely
perfect IN every respect. The expert
ment, made on a pretty large scale, has
extended over two successive seasons.

TEE CASTOR BEAN
a Few Facts Concerning Its Cultivation,
Growth, Variety, Etc, by an Oh
Manufacture.
WEArHERroRr. a., ApriI q. ls9

wEATHERFoRp, TEX, April p. 1890.
Editor Gazette.
Having read the article in your sun
day IS issue on "castor beans, - I de-
sire to call the attention of your readers
10 statements in the article that are cal
culated to mislead the uniformed.
/. Your correspondent says that the
ricenus communis, or palma christa, il
the kind of beans grown for the manu-
facture of castor oil. Now, according
to the text books this is correct, but in
the public mind the palma christa Is the
large variety of ricenus sanguinus, 81
red and which is found growing in gar
dens and yards for ornament. This
kind will make just as good castor oil
as any, but they do nqf
pop out, therefore machine1y
is necessary to free the seed from the
hulls. They grow too tall and spread
too much, or, in other words, they oc-
cupy too much space for the amount OF
seed they bear and cucumber the ground
with too much trash and woody stems
while the real rIcenus lCommunis, or
little blue stem variety, Is not open to
any of these objections.
2.Your correspondent says that they will
yield seVent-fiYe to one hundred bushels
to the acre. In 1886 we introduced the
cultivation of castor beans in this sec
ton, and while they have never yet pro-
duced such yields, even under the most
favorable circumstances, they have al
ways paid handsomely for the trou bic ,
and we would say that thirty
bushels of castor beans is
a good average yield, and the prices paid
by US has ranged from 81. 25 to 50 per
busheI. an average being about 81. 80
per bushel, which Is st. Louis prices, as
We are governed by that market.
3. II a lazy man plants castor beans
with the expectation of making a success
he will be infinitely worse deceived than
he ever was, for, as your correspondent
says, they must be gone through at least
once week to prevent waste, and if
twelve or fifteen acres are oil that an ex-
ceeding smart man can gather in the
main harvest time, a lazy man will
hardly succeed.
Lastly. As to cultivation, the method
suggested by your correspondent does not
address itself to the farmers of Texas.
l. Because we do not bar off corn in this
country and 2. Because we do not raise
geese, ducks, etc., to keep
the grass out or our fields,
but more rational culture of the bean
in this climate without the aid of geese
and ducks would be to use a double
shovel or cultivator, just as you would
for corn, and cultivate as long as the
plants are not torn too badly Uy the
singletree-say until they are waist high,
about the same amount of cultivation
being required as for corn.
1 hand you herewith copy of an arti-
Gle on the castor bean and oil industry Of
this section, and think the matter there
in contained about as near the facts in
the case es can be had.
We have never yet had enough castor
beans to run our mill six months in the
year, and can safely assert that we will
take all that can be raised for the next
two or three years at st. LOUIS prices, as
Eescan quadruple our present capacity.

would consent to having her foot copied,

After great deliberation the young
model consented to having her foot done

believe, of girl being immortalized
in sections. During the approaching
summer her head will be in Paris and her
pretty feet in New York.

The OK Marble.

This troublesome insect, the hypo-
derma bowls of entomologists is too well
understood by cattlemen to leave in ex-
istence any need Of description. The
perfect insect is a two-winged fly, black,
but banded with yellow, and measuring
It is quite commonly called q CAD fly.
This fly deposits an egg somewhere along
the back of the animal, which in due
time matches out minute, legless grub,
that at once burrows into the flesh. One
can tell when CAD fly is after his cattle
by their evipced terror. They run in a
distracted kind of way. with tails
hOisted, unualIy making for the nearest
brushy cover, if there happens to be
anything of that character in the neigh
borhood.
The grub, having secured footing in
the back of the animal, remains and
grows until an inch in length, and to
about the size of q man 8 little finger,
when it undergoes its transformations
and comes forth fly, ready for startixIgl
a new generation of MARBLES.
The OK MARBLE is an insect % wide
range, being found in all parts of the
country. It is very troublesome las the
animal carrying it falls off in flesh, gsHa.
the hide Is seriously damaged for the tan
ner 5 use by the holes left in it.
Many remedies have been proposed. =.
One is to grease the back of the animak
with lard, in which has been placed a
small quantity of carbolic acid This is
to prevent the lily from depositing its
eggs. When the grub has already Sc
cured Judgment it is sometimes drawn
out through the opening reaching to it,
by means of fine wire hook We have
found entirely effectual the same rsERFs
as recommended by US in q forEaaSa article

times sold as Persian insect poGder, and
sometimes as buhash. Most drag stores
keep it. Sprinkle the opening 8eRdiug
to the MARBLE thoroughly with this potss

creatures of higher order than insects.

lately completed, cost ffty-six, an
average of eight for each of the seven
years occupied in building it. The en-
gineers regard this number as smaller
than might have been expected, and
take credit to themselves for the sue

An odd fact in New York trade is that
the best known seller Of diamonds is a
woman. Members of her sex buy all
sorts of precious stones from her on the
installment plan. There are a lot of
different ways Of managing it, and she is
apparently mistress OF most of them.
Her acquaintance among shoppers is
enormous. 1t is interesting to see her
female customers drive bargains with
her. When they decide on certain
ring or bit of jewelry the war be-
gins. The dealer leans both her
elbows on one side of the
showcase and the customer leans hers a
the other. The trinket in dispute lies
between them. They start in at widely
diverging prices and fence toward neu-
trail ground. Men may come and men
may go in the shop, but the discussion
proceeds with uninterrupted energy
sometimes for an hour at o. time. APP
parently the merchant enjoys the mental
stimulus of this sort of selling; but she
usually wears well satisfied smile after
the bargain is over.

MANY of our readers will remember
DR.. Ball, the Buffalo preacher who
maligned ex-President Cleveland in
the campaign of 1884, accusing him
of immoral action. The New York
Post published some very severe things
about the reverend doctor and as a
consequence got itself into libel suit.
The paper denounced Dr.. Ball for his
charges and attacked his veracity and
made life miserable for the meddling
preacher. DR.. Ball sought vidication
by suing the Post for $4,000 for
defamation of character, claiming the
charges against Mr.. Cleveland were
true The jury who heard the evil
dence decided that Dr. Ball had emo
cause for action" in bringing his suit,
a verdict indicating the ex-President.
DIR. Ball is now doubtless sorry he
tackled the Post.

MONROE has 4 Chamber of Com
merce, and while it has not been in
operation great while, it is already
demonstrated that it has been of bene-
fit to the town. The Register says of
it:
The Monroe Chamber of Commerce
has started off well, and we believe
will prove powerful factor in uniting
the business men of Monroe in har-
monious action for the benefit of the
town. Since its organization new in
terest has been created in the progress
of the town, and the development of
our resources. Active steps are being
taken to secure manufacturing enter
priseS and to induce Northern men
and Northern capital to locate in our
midst.
This has been the result of such or
ganized effort in every town in the
State. Charlotte, Wilmington, Raleigh,
Asheville, Oxford and other places
speak eloquently in favor of these asso-
ciations-where various business inter-
esss are banded together for harmo-
NOUS action, united effort and mutual
benefit.

THE GREAT BLOOD
= PURIFIER. =
IT CURES ECZEMA!

WILMINGTON, n. c., January IA, 1885.
MRS. JOE PERSON.
Madam On the 2sth last May our boy
was boru, we'll developed in every respect,
but when two months old the King of
Terrors" began to chisel about his little
heart. Notwithstanding its plump and
vigorous constitution, the poison in the
blood soon began to manifest itself in what
the medical men termed " eczema, "pur-
pura," hereditary taint," while some
old mothers concluded the yellow thrash"
had gone, through the child, Yet. what
certainly stubborn master for the doc
tors. The mother took the little sufferer
to the country, hoping that the pure fresh
air might be beneficial. DR.. -, Of
LumbertOn, was called to treat the case !;
he pronounced it eczema. and did all he
than to check the fever to which the disease
subjected him. At first frost the victim
was again removed to the city. DR.. -
was called; he pronounced the disease pur-
pura, and prescribed accordingly, feeding
up the disease on iron and other minerals
until the baby's mouth became SO sore he
could not nurse at all. A friend suggested
as last hope and resort, Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy. All means to procure any more
help or medicine had failed, and In this
hour OF darkest despair the poor mother
went and asked her druggist, DIR. Millar.
to let her have one bottle and package
of the Wash but was refused yet, nothing
daunted, she pnoned her .oeddiag ring for
the Remedy, and obtained $3.50 to pay for
it. When she gave the first dose, three
weeks ago to-day, the little fellow was
mass OF Scaly sores from the hips to the
knees, and at seven months old had never
borne his weight on his feet. To-day, by
the help of God and faithful admintstra-
ton Of the Remedy he IS soelt and strong in
the legs, and last Sabbath, while the moth
er was weeping over the necessity of dry
ing up her breast, he commenced nursing
as strong and vigorously as ever. When
everything had been tried on our little
babe and failed your Remedy was used
and has made perfect cure. The child
was two months old when he first broke
out, was seven months old when he began
the Remedy.
