In its November number the Cos
mopolitan will publish a series Of let
ters written by Gen. W. r. Sherman
to one OF his young daughters, be-
tween the years 1859 and 1865 and
covering most Of the important events
Of the war Of secession. These let
ters present graphic pictures of u
great soldier amid some of the stir
ring scenes In which he was giant
figure, and In them tho patriotic
spirit OF the Federal general is seen
to have been most attractiycly tenn
pered by strong affection for the
southern people. The fraternal feel
Ing which glows In these letters Is In
refreshing contrast to the sectional
bitterness which characterized the
period, and they will constitute an
interesting and important cohtribu-
tiOn to the literature Of tn. war.

How gracefully some men do die n

crying "vIctory" and, from the dem.

We art Informed that cattle arc de-
strOying the corn OF some Of the farm
crs In the south part Of the county.
There Is certainly no call for anything
Of this kind for the man who is able
to own herd Of cattle Is certainly
ablo To hire u boy TO herd them and
sec TINT they do not destroy their
nc!ghbors' crops. The farmers stuck
to their land through last year when
they had almost nothing to live on,
In the hope Of better times and this
year they have good crops, but, IL
this must be destroyed by their Neigh
bors'stuck, IL will place them In as
bad condition rs they were In last
year. 1t Is an outrage to allow stock
to destroy a poor mans crop simply
because HI has no means with which
to fence 1t and, II this Is being done,
II Is certainly not intentional on the
part Of the owners OF the stock. for we
would hate to believe that we have

erately turn their stock loose to de
stroy their ncighbors' crops.

bankruptcy to the deluded farmer.
The true and really economical inten-
sive system of crop culture now looms
to the front as the great ~panacea.to the
tiller of the soil, and will lead him from
absolute ruin to prosperity.
Mr.. David Dixon used to say that hs
could always tell in the spring OF the year
where the dry streaks were going to be
from the depth ofthe plowing.
Did Mr. Worthen make five bales of
cotton from one acreS
Did one South Carolina man make
247 bushels of corn from n acreS
If so can't it be done again? Why
can't it be made a business to make
these sort of crops upon every acre plant
edP If 1t has been done, it can
be done again, with the same or
better preparation. How are all the
great crops made we have seen and
heard Of, and Lg what process are nub--
bins made and wherefore humble bee

What does q farmer want with 1000

Why Cotton Opens Slow.

Here is what seems to US the correct
theory why cotton is opening so slowly
this year. Two or three farmers in atten.
dance on the Alliance meeting last Fri
day, were standing on the corner diecuss'
ing the situation, and one Of them re-
marked; "I1l tell you my idea as to the
reason why the cotton is opening 40 slow.
There is no gusno under 1t. All of the
guano was leached out of the soil by the
incesaant rains of last spring and summer,
and there is nothing to make it open.
Don't you remember that before the war,
when we didn't use any guano, the cotton
was always slow about opening. Well,
that is what is the matter this year.
There Is not enough guano left to make
it OPEN"
In support of this theory another far
mel remarks "Ootton seems to be open.
ing more freely OF red lands than on
sandy lands" This is no doubt because
the red soil resists the action Of tho water
better than sandy solls.

DeprayIty Of the Sparrow.

Henceforth let no one apologize for the
English sparrow. He is as black as he
has teen painted, and considerably more
30.
The news from North Plain, Conn.,,
virtually strips him Of every feather of
Responsibility and leaves him naked to
the scorn of the world. The Baptist
Church of North Plain has been robbed
at various times, of sums aggregsting $52,
and after three years of pickering,
charges and counter-charge the stolen
money has been traced to a couple of
English sparrows that had a nest in a
vine near the Church. The evidence
against the spsrrows is indisputable, as
the missing money, in bills ranging from
81 to SIS, has been found woven into
their nest.
With the discovery of this money
peace is restored in a Church which has
been rent and torn since the thetts were
first discovered. The money was always
missed out of the sums turned in by the
deacons who took up the collections, cir
cumstsnces sometimes pointing to one
deacon as the thief and sometimes to IN
other. At one time the minister was
believed to have been caught dead to
rights" and when sdescon fatty charged
him with being "a sneak-thief" he left
the Church and did not enter it again.
Two deacons came to blows over these
mysterious disappearances, aud during
these three long and terrible years suspi.
cion was continually poisoning each
brothers. cup-and all because of q
thievish propensity of an English spar
row which took advantage of an open
window to fly into the Church and nip
an occasional bank note.-New York Ad-
v~ertiser.

Among the arts and sciences, agricul'
ture, the most important of all, has been
relegated 10 the rear, is still wearing the
clogs Of fogyism, especially in the south,
where the sunshine and the shower are
the most genial.
Is it not time that these rusty shack
les should be loosened? We believe the
c~risisof waste and ruin has been reached,
and that a new era will soon begin to
dawn upon agriculture, and that the COM
Ing century will be distinguished on &C.
count of the amazing developments that
will be made in intensive farming.
We unhesitatingly suggest the inten-
sive system of the culture of the fields, the
"multum in parvo" plan to the farm
ers.
In another article we will suggest 8
new and novel plan of desp blowing, or
breaking the earth, that will guarantee
the farmer from any drought that has
ever occurred in this country-guarantee
his soil and fertilizers from washing away,
his ~rootlets from drowning out, his crops
will be safe from floods, and he can have,
as it we're, bis bottom lands upon the

never failing, will flourish, and shall be

There are described by various
writers as having been at some time
growing in A~merica-all of which have
had names given ia them-some 1000
varieties Of apples. As a matter of fact,
no apple comes from seed exactly like its
parent. Every seeding apple, therefore,
has an individuality Of its own, to q
greater or less degree. The manner in
which nature affects this variation has
never yet been determined, though there
is reason to believe rhymthic growth has
much to do with it. At each rest putri.
ton is diverted TO- other directions / in
proportion to the durability of these rests
other portions become developed. This
is known "a the law of accelaration or OF
