southern Agriculture.

Successful farming, north or south,
is dependent upon these two points,
viz: First that the soil shall annually
become richer so that its commercial
value shall constantly increase, for as
the land represents the farmers capi-
tal, according to sound business princi-
pies, 1t must increase in value or, else
the farmer grows poorer instead of
richer. And, secondly, the farmer in
order to succeed, must spend less than
he makes. On the right application
Of these two rules, hinge success. I'm
prove the soil and spend less than you
make! These are the magic words
that turn the key in the door to hid
den banks OF wealth. Let the farmer
keep these two facts constantly in
mind, and act upon them, and success
is us certain in farming as in any thing
else. But it Is to the first of these
facts that | shall devote this article,
and while what | shall SAY, is from q
southern point OF view, yet on general
principles, it will apply as much to the
north as to the south. How to restore
and perpetuate the fertility of the soil,
Is an important question with every
thoughtful farmer

The Rush of Spinsters.

Genuine liturature, both as voca-
ton and product, never was in such
danger of being smo.hered AS at pres
ent by new race Of female scribbler
The publishing syudicates, the Sunday
newspapers, the story sheets, acknow-
ledge that the rush OF young and
charm ingly incompetent women to the
back doors OF the theatre bears no sort
OF comparison to the rush OF women
to the publication Office. Every spin
ster who can hold pen is trying to
write--and write fiction. Ever y
actress who knows how to make h err
verbs disagree with her nominatives
is scribbling with profound purpose.
They will starve, suffer toll at one dol
lar week to get into print, and
wouldn't fry ham or make beds ut
twenty dollars month. Every editor
has 10 erect a mosquito net to prote ct
himself from this new swarm. And
the funny thing about 1t Is that the
spinster, who can't tell the difference
between o metaphor and a musk rat,
wants TO discuss the synthetic philoso-
ply OF Herbert Spencer and write re-
views OF Robert Elsmere" and Ibsen,
and every nymph whose fortune is in
her ankles has got plot on divorce
and a metaphysical romance on the re-
lation Of the sexes. IN. Y. Truth.

Salt for Land.

Salt is good" This is averred by
the very highest authority. 1t is good
for land 1t is really a fertilizer as it
supplies soda and chlorine which is
found in every plant. 1t is good for
all crops. 1t discourages fungi which
infest the most valuable crops; as rust,
smuts, etc, and 1t discourages insects
which damage the roots OF plants. 1t
has a remarkable effect upon grass and
clover, at times doubling the yield.
One of the best and most prosperous
farmers in New Jersey applies 1000
pounds OF 1t every year to his pastures
and meadows, and although he sells
at times moro than $500 per acre of
market crops from part OF his farm
he AYERS that his grass pays him mere
profit to the acre than his melons,
cabbage or tomatoes. Any farmer
who is troubled with scab on his
potatoes shoald try liberal sprinkling
OF salt along the rows before dropping
the seed

One OF the leading and largest manufactur-
ers of eorsets in the United States has hit upon
the very novel plan of making corsets for each
season of the year. 1t has been known to the
ladies themselves for years how cumbersome
and uncomfortable the average corset is in the
summer. This company now manufactures /.
line of open mesh, specially stifened corsets,
warranted to keep shape perfectly and add
graccfuIncss to the figure. The goods are
being adopted throughout the country, and
are becoming absolutely indispensable for
summer wear. The publishers of the House
keeper, of Minneapolis, Mimi, with character
lstlc enterprise have placed an open order for
thousands Of pairs OF these corsets to distribute
among their lady friends throughout the entire
country 1t Is one of the boldest steps yet
taken by any newspaper publishers, and twill
be impossible to estimate the number OF ladiC s
that viii be directly benefited. No leaders OF
fashion or authorities on dress, have failed to
endorse these summer corsets. In this day OF
modest dress and correct taste it is to be hoped
that comfort will always reign supreme in the
matter of our ladies' wear.

Improve Your Live stock.

That farmer who fails to cultivate

his farm and go into some other kind
OF business. 20 be satisfied with scrub
cattle is to be satisfied with two or one
per cent interest when 1t is possible to
get twenty or thirty. Not long ago a
writer for Orange judas paper said:
Three years ago, two adjoining farm

Smith and Brown. each had twenty
breeding cows about equal in quality.

A CHINESE WONDER.
The Porcelain Tower Which Stood
400 Years in Marking.

In 1880 A. d., after nineteen years
of ceaseless labor and expenditure of
about 81, 000 900, the Chinese govern
ment finished the wonderful porcelain
tower at Marking, which stood for
nearly 425 years-until 1856, the most
marvellous building ever erected by
human hands. 1t was of octagonal
form, 260 feet in height, with nine
stories, each having a cornice and
gallery without. The name of Porce-
lain tower was applied to this unique
structure, says the st. Louis Republic,
on account OF the fact that the whole
OF the outside work was covered with
porcelain slabs OF various sizes and
colors, but principally of red, white,
yellow and green. At everyone of its
nine stories the projecting roof Of the
gallery was covered with green tiles
each corner being provided with bell
varying in weight from 800 to 1000
pounds.
There were 152 bells in ALL each ga
nicely balanced as to rock back and
forth as they were swayed by the
breezes. giving out continuous strain
of beautiful but weird music. Ranged
In rows between the bells were l2S
brass, bronze, and silver lamps, which
were lighted every night in the year.
The apex of the tower, starting from
its base at the 250-foot level and ex-
tending upwards for a height of ten
feet, was monster gilded pineapple,
surmounted by a copper ball about two
feet in diameter. A spiral stairway OF
over 800 steps led from tine base to the
summit. The building was constructed
as gift to an empress, ana was al
ways kept in repair by the govern
ment Lightning struck it in 1901 and
tore down the three top stories. The
injury was repaired as soon as possible.

day had not the TAPPING rebels inagin.

Potash for Crane Viu9a.

The fertilizer chiefly needed for
grape vines is potash. Other manures
may make stronger growth OF leaf
and wood. but potash is needed in per-
fecting the fruit. French and other
European vine growers fertilize their
vineyards by blowing under the prun-
ings. This IL the soil is heavy helps
to keep the land light and porous,
while the green wood speedily decays
and returns to the soil whatever potash
1t had distracted. But II the land be
sandy this return is not enough. More
potash must be applied or the fruit
will suffer, and the vine itself will
have its vitality weakened.

Corn, wheat and oats all belong to the

very few are classed with the

occur to the reader that II for one sea-

would follow and If for two seasons in
succession, all animal life would entire
