hens do for their broods--he must

scratching his land mot his head and
the better 1t is fed the more scratch
ing the more he will scratch out. If
the farmer won't do his own scratching
somebody else will do it for him-the
sheriff most likely, and he always uses
a claw hammer. Large crops on few
acres are produced at the least outlay
of money, bring the best kind of pro-
duce and the biggest pile of money.

to grow two cabbage heads from one

when the heads are ready to sell cut
out the head, leaving all the outside
leaves attached to the stump; that is,
cut out the head so as to have no leaves
to strip off and throw away, for the
leaves are all left on the stump. Now
keep c%ultivating these stumps along
with the other ~cabbages that have not
yet headed, and very soon small heads
will start out on the stump. Pull off
Ill l.
all these little heads but the best one,
and this will SOC make a head as good
as, and maybe better, than the first
one. l presume this is not new to
many OF you, unless it is the picking
off all the little heads except one.
These second crop heads will, many of
them, mature SO late that they may be
wintered over in the usual way.

GRASS SEEDING.

A. W. Cheever, the agricultural edi-
tor of the New England Farmer, SAYS
that he knows of but one best a of
seeding land, and that is to SOW the
seed the last of July or first of August,
just when nature sows it, and give the
grass the whole of the room. The larp-
est and best crops he ever grew were
grown in this way. Early potatoes are
Off in serson for such sowing, and DO
tato land, if kept clean from weeds.
makes an excellent seedbed for grass
In August. At this time clover NAV
be sown with as much confidence as in
the spring, but every day delay after
the first week in August endangers the
success of clover. 1t must get well es.
tapllshed and have an abundant growth
OF other grass with it to insure its
safety through the first winter. Occa-
sionally the month of August NAV be
so dry that seed cannot terminate az
near the surface as grass must be
sown. He adds: l have known one or
two years when the small grains could
not be started for late soiling crops. So
1t may be advisable sometimes to SOW
grass seed at other season and take
the risks. With a favorable winter.
grass sown alone in September or o.
tober may do well, but if the winter is
open, with much alternate freezing
and thawing, the grass will probably
be thrown out and destroyed. Winter
rye with its long roots and thicker
foliage, may a v grass sown late by
shading the ground and thus holding
the top soil with its grass and grain
roots in place.
Grass sown in autumn with grain is
much more likely to do well if the grain
Is cut early for fodder than if left to
ripen its seed. Seed production not
only exhausts the soil, but the harvest
comes later during the heat of summer
and when the removal is a greater
shock to the tender grass. My temper
ament is such that l have little pa
thence with trying to patch up a piece
OF work that was badly done at the
start. always feel like rubbing it all
out and then beginning anew.
In Mr.. Cheever's vicinity-East Mas
sachusetts-gr grain crops have come to
take a secondary place with grass,
which latter, when sown alone, accord
ing to Mr.. Cheever, is almost invari-
ably worth more the first year than the
grain and straw together would be if
grain were sown with the grass and the
former made the leading crop. This is
especially true where the land is par
ticularly adapted to the production of
hay. When seeded with grass alone.
generally two crops are cut the fir.t
year, the first crop being cut early,
even If not fully grown.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. Hon.
Jesse j. Yates, eX-member of Con-
gress from the First North Carolina
district and father of Chas. NJ. Yates,
recently of Winston, died in this city
Monday afternoon at the residence of
his son, DIR. William Yates. The fu-
neral services were conducted this af-
ternoon from Mt. Vernon Place NJ. f.
church South by Rev. DR.. j. Il.
Wightman. The obsequies were at
tended by a large number of the

Among the pail bearers was Judge
Samuel Phillips, formerly of North
Carolina, and Solicitor of the Treas
ury Department under Grant, and for
a long time a political adversary of
Mr.. Yates.
Mr.. Yates was member of the
State Legisture of 1861 and a leader of
the anti-SeceSsiOniStS in that body.
He was elected to Congress in IA, '76
and '7S from the First district, the
last time having to contest his seat
with James J. Martin who was I'M
seated February 1, 1881. Major Yates
practiced law in Washington for
some time after his voluntary retire

TO STUDY THE BIBLE.
The Work of ID. l.. Moody, the Evan
geIist.

Mr.. Noody's Bible Institute in Chi
cago is making great preparations for
the coming winter and next year, with
especial reference to the need there
will be for aggressive Christian work
among the vast crowds who will visit
the Fair. Two new stories upon the
main building are about completed.
These will afford accommodations for
one hundred additional men. Mr..
Moody, himself, expects to spend a
large proportion of the year '93 in Chi
cago, and is trying to secure leading
men from the old country and America
to preach the Gospel in English and
other languages, and also to give in
structions in the Institute, in addition
to the regular corps of teachers.
Those who enter the school in Oc-
tober, or as soon after that as pOSSi-
BILE, will have the best opportunities
in the work. In accepting applicants,
preference will, of course be given to
those expecting to stay throughout
the year. None are admitted but
such as are preparing for some form
of Christian work.
1t seems likely that more room will
have to be provided for the Women's
Department in order to accept all the
promising applicants.

JUDGE FURCHES-
He Passes Through Winston and Talks
to a Sentinel Reporter.


Judge D. NJ. Furches, of Statesville,
the man whom the Republicans put
up at Raleigh last week for Governor,
passed through Winston ThUrday en-
route for Wilkesboro to attend the
Superior Court which is in session
there.
A SENTINEL reporter was introduce
ed to the Judge at the train as it
stopped here ten minutes at 11:30that
morning. In reply to a question Judge
Furches said:
II am going up to Wilkesboro to
look after some important business in
the courts. / shall return home in a
day or two and arrange my business
so as to devote my entire time to the
Republican party until the election" P"
'.How was the convention" was
asked.
s'It was more largely attended than
any Republican convention held this
year. Itpassed off harmoniously, with
the exception of Loge Harris speech
in opposition to a State ticket. No
body, however, paid any attention to
what he said"
elbow do you regard the present
political outlook in North Carolina ?''
asked the reporter.
I think the Republicans have the
best showing of 'electing their ticket
| they have had for years. OF course / can
not tell what the future may bring
| forth The Democrats, it is true
| have the advantage of the Republi.
cans in some respects. They have q
| great many more newspapers ano
speakers in the State.''
| The Judge looked happy and smiled
as though it would "do him good anG
| help him too" to be Governor of NORTH
| Carolina. From the tone of his con
yersation, however, the reporter doe!
not believe Judge Furches would b,
willing to stake many dollars on hi
/ election.

CUBAN TOBACCO.
Experiments With it in in One of the
Carolinas.

CarOl1na9.
From the Manufacturers Record
If reports be true there will soon be
even stronger reasons Ior Cuban cigar
manufacturers to move to this coun-
try than the high taxes imposed upon
them by the Spanish government. 1t
is said that on the Wilcox & O'Neill
plantation at EStill, S. c., sixty
miles from Savannah, Mr.. w. p. Will
COX has succeeded in raising some re-
markably fine Havana tobacco from
Uvelto Abajo seeds, which is one OF
the best varieties grown in Cuba.
Fifteen acres were planted, but
through insufficient knowledge of the
proper methods of cultivation and
trouble with insects the crop was
small. Even with these drawbacks,
however, the results have netted
nearly 500 per acre. With the eX-
perience gained by this trial Mr.. Will
cox thinks he can more than double
his returns next year, and will give
about seyenty-five acres to it. The
leaf has been examined by experts,
who pronounce it equal to any tobac-
co grown in Cuba.
1t may take some years to acquire a
| full knowledge of the methods most
satisfactory for growing such crop
and the variety may change under
| the new conditions of soil and
| climate, but the experiment is well
worth trying, and even though later
| crops should not be of as high grade
as this first one, they will more thar
| pay the expense of cultivation. A
| careful study of what is needed
| coupled with the judicious use O
| suitable fertilizers, should at least
| aid in preventing any materia
change in quality or value of leaf.

THE HISTORY OF TOBACCO,
When Did the Practice of Chewing z
and Smoking First Begin?


e-AS
1t is somewhat doubtful whether
the use of tobacco as a narcotic was
known in the old country before the
discovery of America. Meyen in his
Geography of Plants expresses the
opinion that the smoking of tobacco
is of great antiquity amongst the
Chinese, because on every old sculp-
ture he has observed the very same
tobacco pipes which are now in use"
Meyen's authority, however, is greater
as botaniSt than as an Archaolo-
giSt, and cannot be received as deci-
slve of the antiquity of the sculptures
of which he speaks. 1t is not i'm
probable that the smoking of tobacco
has been long practiced in China, but
it is not certain. If it was so the
custom did not extend amongst the
nelghbOring nations, which, however
has been the case also as to the use of
some other narcotics; whereas. on the
introduction of the use of tobacco
! from America it rapidly extended
throughout Europe and soon became
| extremely prevalent amongst Oriental
| nations.
In the present state of our knowl-
| edge no chronological argument can be
| found upon the prevalence of smoking
amongst the Mongolians and the
| American Indians. Smoking of tobac-
co was found by Columbus to be prac-
| ticed in the West Indies, where the
| natives made it into cylindrical rolls,
| wrapped in maiZe-leaf. 1t has been
prevalent from unknown antiquity
| amongst the American Indians as faI
| north as Canada. With them it even
has religious character and is con.
nected with their worship and with
all their important transactions
Thus the calumet, or pipe Of peace, il
indispensable to the ratification of g
treaty, and smoking together has ever
greater significance of friendship thar
eating together has amongst Other
nations.
In the belief of the ancient worship
pers, the Great Spirit smelled a Sweet
SAVIOR as the smoke of the sacred plan1
ascended to the Heavens, and tn,
homely implement of modern luxury
was in their hands a sacred cense
from which the hallOwed vapor rose
with as fitting prOpitiatory odors a.
