A Fresh Fish Story.

A man while fishing suddenly fell into
the water. A fellow fisherman of benev.
olent aspect promptly helped him out,
laid him on his back, and then began to
scratch his head in puzzled manner.
"What's the matter ?" asked the by.
ISLANDERS. "Why don't you revive him 2"
"There are sixteen rules to revive
drowned persons," said the benevolent
man, "and 1 know 'em all; but l can't
call to mind which comes first"
at this point the rescued man opened
his eyes aud said family: "1s there
anything about giving brandy in the
rules?"

The greatest increase exhibited, it is
seen, is in the case of No. S, which
gained 29O pounds in SO days or at the
rate OF about 81 pounds per day. The
smallest increase was in the case of No.
4, which gained 1876 pounds in the same
time o. at the rate of about II pounds
per day. Averaging the time for oil, the
herd gained at the rate of nearly 25
pounds day, or at the rate of nearly q
pounds per head per day-or, to put in
the strongest way, at the rate of nearly 10
per cent per month. The feed, as before,
stated, was exclusively cotton seed meal
and bulls, the daily ration being quart
of meal and peck to half busbel of
bulls, according to the animal, mixed
dry and fed night and morning cost
being ~ cents per head per day.
Practical farmers will employ these
facts and figures in their own calculations
for their own instruction. The general
lesson to be drawn from the calculations
We have made, however, is plain enough
for any farmer who understands simple
arithmetic, and is simply tina: there is a
fair profit in fattening even common cat
tie for market on cotton seed meal and
hulls Hundreds of thousands of pounds
OF beef grown 10 other States are sold in
South Carolina every year. Agreat deal
of it is brought from the shores Of the
lakes and from beyond the Mississippi
River, and some of it is very far from be.
ing of the best. There is no reason why
this trade should not be captured and
held by cattle raisers within the State,
greatly 10 their own advantage and that
of their beef-eating fellow-ctizsns in the
towns, as we'll.
Another point is worth considering,
and we hope that some one of our farmer
correspondents who is of mathematical
turn of mind will consider, and give his
fellow farmers the benefit of bis calcula-
tions. The price of cotton is very low
now, and the average returns from the
lint on an acre are very small. We
should like to have our correspondents
say how much the value of the product
of the acre would be increased if every
pound of the seed grown on it were con-
verted at the nearest oil mill into meal
and hulls and fed to beef cattle on the
farm, and the manure returned to the
soil on which the crop was grown? The
oil mills are plentiful and easily accessi-
BILE now. 1t might be useful to make the
indicated calculation very carefully,
since if it should prove that there is
good profit in raising beef on the new
system, there is no reason why our farm
ers should not export thousands of tons
of beef to Northern and European mar
ksts, and at the same time solve the
vexed problem of how to make cotton
growing pay.--News and Courier.

PARTS OF THE BODY.

By LIZZIE NJ. HADLEY, Lowell, Mass
Do you know what we think
Is hetter than play?
'Tis the curious lesson
We've studied to-day.
We've learned that the body
Each one of us owns,
From the head to the toes,
Is all built of bones.
That some of these bones
Will bend, as you know;
See our shoulders 60 this way,
Our fingers move so.
To these places that bend
Each one of US points,
And we all have been told
. To call them our joints.
See !! shake my head,
Then all of us bow,
And these are our neck.joints
We're using just now.
I point up, and then down
Right and left We all go;
'Tis our shoulder joints now
We are moving you know.
Our hands touch our shoulders,
And sides then, SO free;
'Tis elbow joints this time,
We are bending YOU see.
We turn now our hands,
And shake theH-so,
By moving oCr wrist joints.
Do you see how they go?
Well open our fingers
And then shut them all,
And these places that bend
We finger:joints call.
Then deep in each thigh,
Is hip.joint, you see;
And here is knee, joint,
Way down in each knee.
Next down near my foot
Not quite to the ground
Just here In my ankles,
Are ankle joints found.
Are these all? do you ask?
No, just one thing more;
Ifyou count up my toe joints
You'll find them a score.
We've told you the names,
And what each joint can do;
Ofthe kinds of the joints,
There are only two.
In each shoulder aud thigh,
Ball and socket joints go;
The others are hinge.joints,
I'm sure We all know.
They all show the wisdom
OF One up above,
Who fashioned our bodies
With tenderest love.
In His word sent to guide,
We know that He tells
f. That our bodies are temples
Where He ever dwells.

ne expect some very fine work, and if We

We can say the atmosphere of our
school rooms is steadily improving; it is
more moral, more permeated with the
real essence of Christianity; there is a
stronger demand for a higher grade of
men and women. 1t is rare to hear Of

They are better educated, using the term
broadly. The people are more jealous
about committing their children to the

he is doing a good work. The patrons
have shown their interest in the educa.
ton of their children by employing this

making good progress, and from what ne
could gather they like their teacher.
The patrons are also pleased. They have

must look beyond i mere question of re.

therefore, raise all the grain, meat, vege.

independent of Northern hog and grain
growers, and then plant all the cotton for

and you don't know how to produce any
thing else to any marketable extent,
therefore raise cntton, and raise all you
can. Reduce the cost Ut production and
not the production itself. Iuaugurate the
use of cultivators, cotton pickers, and

four to fre cents per pound. Run India
