The city Of the Columbian Exposition
is showing gratifying preference for
West Virginia coal, and frequent coal
trains will soon be compelled to run
from the Flat Top mines to meet her
requirements. 1t costs her citizens a
tri1e more a ton than that mined in
Indiana, but this is amply repaid by
its complete and absolutely smokeless
combustion. West Virginia coal will
add very materially to the health and
comfort of the millions of visitors that
Chicago will entertain during the Elk
position year.

Albert Whitman, Of Scion township. has
filed complaint for divorce from his
wife, Lottie f. Ward. whom he married
In 1880. The grounds on which he asks
for a legal separation are extreme cruelty,
jealousy. violent temper and personal
abuse. He cites several instances of the
latter, one Of which occurred in June.

DR.. Chauncey Depew risks his repu-

that in less than twenty-five years
steam asa motive power will be super
seeded by electricity. He thinks the
wonderful advance made since 1876
justifes the conclusion thai in the next
sixteen years there will be an equal
rate Of progress. The general use of
electrical motive power would not be a
matter Of such surprise to the world
now, or at any future time, as would
have been the announcement at the
time Of the Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia of the wonderful discov-
cries that have since become a poses
sion of everyday use and convenience.

The PersimmOl.

A chemical analysis of the persimmon
just before the ripening stage shows that
it contains large per cent. Of peetin, and
as tie fruit begins to turn ripe this pectin
changes into pectose in almost as large a
quantity. Pectose is the principle OF
grapes, ETC., which is made into jelly, and
the question comes up, why wouldn't per-
simmons make good jelly? Experiments
should be made to answer this question.
If it is found that they would make good
jelly, such a discovery would be profit
able. The persimmon is hardy and grows
here without any attention at all. If one
tree yields FIVE bushels without cultiva'
ton (and they frequently exceed this
yield) it ought to yield any how one third
more when cultivated. If the fruit could
be proftably utilized there would be
great money in persimmon culture. Why
are not some experiments made in this
line Pc. e. Campbell in The Republic.

Farming in the South

Among the agricultural problems OF
the greatest Importance to the future sue
cess of the Southern farmer are those
connected with the growth OF grasses ana
forage plants. 1t is strongly recommend
ed. therefore, that more attention De
given to the culture of these crops, ana
That the area ofland devoted TO cotton be
reduced. The Agricultural Department
and the State stations, working in many
instances in co operation, are making
numerous tests of new and old species ana
varieties of grasses and forage plants.
Sufficient prog gress has already been made
to show that while different species are
reouired to meet the varying conditions
of soil and climate, an abundance OF pas
turage and Of green fodder can De
produced in all parts OF the South
when an intelligent effort 10 made 10 DO
SO.
There are still large regions where the
feeding stuff5 required by the farm AMI
mails used in raising cotton are imported
from the West and the North. Cotton ls
the money crop. The land is largely
worked by tenants. The merchants make
their advances Of money and goods on
cotton. Landlords insist that cotton ls
the only crop furnishing a sufficient SO
curly tor the payment of rent. Hence II
will require influences strong as necessity
to bring about the substitution OF other
crops for King Cotton.
1t will not be sufficient for the stations
in the States where cotton is the CHIEF
crop to demonstrate that this or that crop
can be proftaby grown. Labor must be
educated. The land holding and trading
classes must be convinced that new crops
will furnish a stable basis for commercial
paper and rentals No opportunity should
be lost to urge that the agriculture of the
South must and can be diversified, to
point out what crops can be proftably y
added to those now grown, and to teach
the best methods for their culture. The
Southern stations are already doing much
to influence public opinion on this grea
problem.-Rural World.
The Charlotte Democrat., 1892-10-07
Farm C0nVenieneeS.

Much time is lost on many farms from
a failure to provide in the best manner
for the ready passage of teams and anil
mails from one part of the farm to another.
Whether stock is allowed TO run at large
ON the public highways or not con:
siderable amount Of fencing is required
on every farm in the proper division OF
fields for cultivation and pasturage'
Access to each field ought to be made
easy, and often there should be entrances
at moro than one point. At such points
there should be gates that can be quickly
opened and closed, instead of bars that
must be removed one at a time, thus
causing delay to both men and teams
Then again for want of gate it is
often necessary to make gap in fence
iu order to get into a field at a certain
point, when another delay is caused,
and the fence itself is injured every
time it is taken down. 1t costs but little
more TO make a rough gate on a farm
than to make the same length OF fence
and the cato itself becomes part Of the
fence, which ia good reason for making
gates wherever they are likely to DC
wanted. Large losses in time are in
many instances also occasioned by the
want of proper facilities for readily
watering stock. In such cases it seems
to me it should occur to every farmer
that a present expenditure sufficient
to provide them would be profitable
outlay in the end.-F. L, Mount Vernon
