The Roller and It's Value in the Gar
den

den.
we do not suppose there are any market
gardeners who attempt to get along without
a roller Of one kind or another. If anv
'nere De that do they surely make great
mistake. 1t has been a frequent assertion
Dy this writer in the past ten years that the
southern farmer was not likely to attain the
maximum OF success in his farming vens
lures until he came to appreciate the har-
row and the roller at their true value. Those
cognlzant OF the methods of the great mass
OF southern farmers need not be told that
very httle use has been made either OF the
narrow or the roller up to this time. We
nave found ever so many farmers and gar
ueners VINO pride themselves on their ability
IN tnelr respective pursuits who have never
owned or used roller or harrow.
It's true, farming and gardening can, In a
woy, &c successfully conducted without
tnelr use, but those who have found. from
experience, what a valuable implement the
rouer Is can hardly avoid the conclusion
that II it Is not Indispensable the method
tnaC olspenses with it is, to put it mildly. a
very unsatisfactory one. How many fail
ures to secure good catch of clover or
ssass or turnlps or pease or cotton may be
charged TO the failure to use the roller. This
implement is really more necessary in
southern ATTITUDES than in northern, aud vet
" 1s not used hardly at all in the south.
We presume very few Of our market gar
oeners or truckers attempt to get along
without the roller, even though our grain
growers and cotton planters may persist in
ignoring 1t much to their disad vantage. as
must be admitted by all who have proper
notions Of the subject. No one need make
any pretentions to being "a scientific"
farmer OF gardener who promotes his work
wltnout the aid OF the roller. A proper use
of it will insure the success of MANY plant
ings that necessarily prove failures when it
is not used.
Our farmers and gardeners must come to
appreciate the value Of the roller il they
would reduce their failure to secure a stand
to its minimum
In the garden we regard roller simply
as indispensable.

Pure Butter or oleomarRarine.

That is good point of the Dairy World
that the people Of the south, instead of eat
ing 80 much oleomargarine should go into
dairying on their own hook. Says the
american DGfrymdn: Every body knows
that nine-tenths of the bull butter con-
sumed in this country is eaten in the south
ern states, and all because the citizens Of
those states will not encourage dairying by
having dairy commissioners appointed to
garine. Here are two excellent results that
would come to the people If they would
only act through their legislatures, as we'll
as assist in supplying an income in the place
OF money and labor lost in cotton culture

There was no break in the deadlock Of the
House today. The regular order was called for the
first thing in the morning and the filibustering
continued until an adjournment for the day
was taken on account of the death of Rep
resentative Craig, there being no quorum pres
ent at any time.
At the present time the situation is about as
bad rs it can be. The appropriations carried
by the sundry civil bill extended expire at
II o'clock tonight. Mr.. Holman was author
lied to present q resolution further ex-
tending this appropriation. but there was no

How long this state of affairs will last it is i'm
possible to say, but some OF the members
indulge the hope that there may be . compro-

for compromise most discussed today is that to
