Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-09-06

Crops here are not above the aver
| age this year. Rabbits are eating many Of
my vegetables, and that, together with 6
prolonged. visit from the artist who Ii
sketching my steers, will make times pretty
hard here during the winter.
EXPERIENCE WITH FERTILIZER.
I used bonedust in my farming this year,
and the crop will pay the drayage on this
bonedust, leaving perhaps 18 or 20 cents fol
future use. I use only the best bonedust,
if possible, no matter what the cost. II
will pay in the end. Nothing is gained by
buying the bonedust of inferior people
Apples are looking well, especially the
Early Horse apple, the Low Flat Early
Dutch Drum Head apple, the Isabella
apple, the Limbertwig apple, the Late
Wormless apple, the Dead Red or League
apple with lignum vite works in it, the
Winter Death Rate Seeding apple and the
Trunk Line apple; all are looking very well
indeed.
Flowing for winter grains is now going
forward, especially on some Of the more
erect farms. Rye will be sown in large
quantities here next year. A North Carolina
farm looks best with vegetables at the base,
then grain of some kind, and then at the
top border of peavines running around
the upper edge of the farm, together with a
molding of some kind to hang pictures on.
Some of these farms look well when draped
with something pretty, and on cold nights I
hang dark drap de tat portiere over my
farm, or sometimes Rice curtain, to keep
the moths out of my watermelons.
WORKING OUT THE ROAD TAX,
Willing hands are now working on the
roads of Buncombe county, and orders are
issued that the dead along the road who
have perished from internal injuries or
corduroy dislocations, conclusions, etc.,
shall be buried at the expense of the State.
Our principal roads are soon to be macadam-
lied, and the Legislature will be memoir
ialized. This win be Of untold benefit to
both. 7. -. -e....
The condition of this country is rapidly
approaching completion, and will one day
add to those already past, thus gathering in
its wonderful career all those. which is held
forth to be, as the good book has said, ''For
the night cometh when no man shall roll to-
gether as a scroll, falling some on good
ground and some on the just as well as the
unjust" and as Isaiah would say, if do
not forget the exact wording, "Go forth as
the cedars of Lebanon or great rock in a
weary land to cry out, fear not and flourish
from the rising of the sun even unto the
third and fourth generations of just men
made perfect"
The above suggests to me q note just re-
ceived from a correspondent of mine who
has been writing to me regularly for over
two years, though I have not answered any
of his letters because they were too deep for
me.
CLEAR AND CoMPREHENsIvK
Mr.. Edgar W. Nye,
DEAR SIR-Although Il should not be
consideration and very probably is not
would like to say I wish to take back the
suggestions sent you other than as applied
to myself increased to the extent that 1
want nothing to do with it whatever also
probably uncalled for. The third party is
all right enough and can be improved as
having something to it and in any case is
working in from every view the best direc-
tion free and the question brought up,
nence OF hedged, free silver coinage no good
can possibly come from, but which within
o need could be 1000 times Better handled
and meet cease more money need and ac-
companying possibilities taken the best ad-
vantage of or furthered with it). The back
gold lay idea in regard to illogical nom
sense as a question and especially unjust in
lopsidedness both within the present condi-
tion and as policy. Very respectfully yours,
There are three other men and a woman
who are writing me on the same subject
every week. l like their clear and unan-
swerable logic, but 1 cannot do the work on
a large farm and expect to be quick enough
to grasp all these great questions in min
ute. The fact is, that by the time l have
done all the chores at night and bathed my
chubby feet at the well and wiped them on
the grass 1 ought to go to bed.
