Timely Suggestion for an Interchange of

AS the time advances for the cultiva-

season we had very instructive letter
from our old-time friend, Geo. Walling,
on this subject. This letter covered
about every point but to keep it fresh
in the minds of our young farming fra
ternity, and also to suit those who cul-
tivate different soils, as we'll as to
lend encouragement to ''the many re-

have been noticing for the last six
or eight years, Notwithstanding the
scarcity of labor, impoverished condi-
ton of both the soil and the farmer,
that our cotton crop is improving in this
State as to the yield per acre. The last
report for the ten years up to the crop
of 1889 and 1890 shows that three
eighths of bale per acre was the aver
age of the South. l am satisfied that
our State will exceed that especially in
the ten years to come. Now that we
have the improved varieties Of seed,
suitable to every section of the State,
and different soils, the thorough cultiva-
ton of these soils at the right time, and
in the right manner, must come next
Some of our most successful cotton-grow-
ers contend that the ground can be
cultivated too strongly for this plant,
but assert that where one man does
this, there are nine hundred and ninety

amount of cultivation. One of my az
quaintances told me he had given his
whole crop eightcultivations, and rode

A SAILORS ADVENTURES.
Wrecked Mt Sea anu Miraculously saved
from the Sharks.


Wrecked Mt Sea ana MiraculousIy saved
from the Sharks.
remarkable story of the sea comes
from st. Malo, the narrator being an
ancient mariner named Bauche, whose
painful experiences in small boat on
the ocean ought to be warrant for the
truth of his tale. Bauche had signed
articles with the captain OF a vessel
called the Mathilde. in which he sailed
to Martinique. While in the harbor of
ST. Pierre in boat with the cabin boy
one day he was driven oceanward by a
gale of wind and was knocked about for
week on the waves before he was res
cued by a Norwegian bark.
After the first night at soa Bauche
says that the cabin boy became partly
delirous, water was filing the boat every
instant, and in order to prevent the dy-
ing lad from being drowned in it the old
sailor made pals of the legs of his pant
aloons and was thus enabled to keep the
bottom of the little craft tolerably dry.
He had also to deprive himself of his
shirt, which he utilized as flag of dis
tress. On the third day the cabin boy
died, and hardly was the breath out OF
his body before seven or eight ferocious
black sharks began to circle round the
boat, which they sometimes almost
touched Rather than deliver up the
dead body to the monsters of the deer
Bauche kept it until it became decom
posed.
Being afraid of Illness, he at length
threw it overheard, after having said
his prayers over it, and the prey was
speedily seized by the sharks, who dis
appeared with it, and did not show W
again for about twenty-four hours or SO
Bauche now felt so utterly miserable
that he was thinking of throwing him
self overheard, when he was dissuaded
from his intention by the temperance
of the sharks, who, after cycling hin
ravenously for some time, actually be
gan to gambol before him, as If in an

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
One of the Great Needs of Many Portions
of the South.

One OF tile treat NeeuS OF many POrtiOnS
of the South.
An exchange discusses the need of
good country roads in forcible and in
teresting manner, bringing out few of
the many advantages to be had whore
the highways are given proper atten-
ton, and noting the fact that college
professors, civil engineers and maya
zine writers are directing public atten-
ton to the subject of country highways,
and the Vanderbilt University, in Ten
nessee, has gone so far as to provide for
the free instruction in road en-
cheering of one person from each
county in that State. The Balti-
more Sun, which is agitating the ques-
ton in Maryland, points out that the
power required to draw wagon weigh
ing, with its load, one ton on level,
macadamized road of broken stone is
sixty-tive pounds, which is increased to
two hundred pounds on a common dirt
road. Prof. Ely, of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, estimates that poor roads cost
the farmer, on an average, of SIS per
horse, and Prof. jerks, OF Knox Col
lege, Illinois, argues that with good
permanent roads freight could be
hauled ten miles on wagons cheaper
than it could be taken one mile'on a
dirt road to railroad station, unload
ed, put on the cars, and carried to its
destination. OF the social influences of
good roads, he says that "a large part of
the mental inspiration of farmer de-
ponds on their ability to attend church,
lectures, concerts, and social gather
ings at distance; and really good
roads, by enabling them to go SO much
more easily would likely raise the whole
intellectual tone of the farming COM
munity, besides keeping in the health
