A Dishonest Dollar.

The Farmer Voice.
The most dishonest dollar that
that ever circulated is the barbaric
::
years it has been the
silent robber of honest industry
and the :despoller of the bright
est civilizations that have adorned
the world. 1t has been strangling
the producer of the worlds wealth
improverlshing the masses, enrich
ing the few and stavating many.
In those ma tions in which it is
the cruel monetary despot--the
sole meaure of value and the only
legal tender-its value practically
equals the value of all other pro-
perty, and it has the monstrous
power of eonfscating all other
wealth. If. one man owned
all the gold in the world,
his insignificant possession would
be equivalent in value to all the
farms, homes, and products of the
earth. But while one man does
not possess all the gold,
all of it is practically under
the control of one great,
absorbing, greedy, and passionless
banking house. The gold dollar
has crowded itself into the currency
OF every nation, has usurped the
functions of every other kind of
money, soon or later, in every in
stance, bankrupting the masses
and paralyzing industry. What
else could be expected? When the
basis of business and of debts has
been a larger circulating medium
of one kind and another, what else
could be expected than that bank
ruptcy and distress shonld follow
the confning of legal tender
money to a metal that everybody
acknowledges is not plentiful
enough to carry on the business of
the world? Whenever any man
seeks to put it beyond the power of
the debtor to pay his debt, it is an
exhibition of impudent dishonesty,
that is what gold as the sole stand
ard of value and the only legal
tender, means. The gold dollar is
as dishonest as Satan is ugly.

Fifty Bushels of Corn on an Acr
of Upland.

"Can a farmer raise fifty busheA
of corn to the acre on upland? ]
so, how can he do it9"
This can'be done with the propel
combination Of manure, cultiyaS
tion, and rain. The latter facto,
is not under the control of tht
farmer and we will speak only 8.
the first two.
Land should be selected thai

shower comes. 1t should be II
fair condition, capable of making
ID to Is bushels without manure
1t should be prepared in January
or February by deep plowing. The
rows should be bedded out five feet
wide. After running the middle
furrow with a shovel, put in about
20 to 25 bushels of cotton seed to
the acre in February. With a long
tongue plow run two or three fur
rows in this water furrow, mixing
the seed with the soil. Lot ma
nure might be substituted for the
cotton seed, liberal application
being made. Throw a fiat. shallow
bed over the manure. When plant
ing time comes, open out with a
long narrow shovel and put in
about 300 pounds of guano to the
acre. Follow with tongue plow
to mix with soil. Plant that va
riety of corn which will yield most.
Put the seed thick enough to se-
cure a full stand the first planting.
Thin out when The corn is quite
young so that the surplus stalks
will not draw much from the guano.
In. fve-foot rows leave stalk
every twenty inches. If the rows
are four feet wide leave the hills
twenty-five inches apart. Either
plan will give the same number of
hills to the acre which will be
nearly $500. Cultivate the corn
every week or ten days until it is
four or five feet high. If the rain
is abundant and if it falls at the
right time this ought to give so
bushels to the acre. The cultiva-
tion should be shallow and the
land nearly level when laid by.
The 90 bushels of cotton seed are
worth $500. The 800 pounds Of
guano would be worth $3.75. total

Here and There.

The sooner cotton is gathered
after it opens the better the staple
and the higher the price. There
fore when a boil opens, go out and
get it.
Sheep intended for mutton
should not be permitted to stake
their chances" Rush them. from
the first, and market early.
No farmer should neglect to SOW
rye, oats,or barley for hog pusture,
unless he be one who has no hogs.
Then and in that case he should
quit farming and take up politics.
The farmer who closely calcu-
lates the least amount of feed he
can get his stock through the win
ter with, on 9 tight squeeze, will
himself be squeezed as tightly as
his stock whom the final settle
ment is made.
Distemper is prevailing among
foals in many sections. When
suffering from it care should be
taken to prevent exposure to.
showers and rain storms. A little
neglect is pretty sure to prove
expensive economy.
Heavy fertilizing operates IN
two ways to defeat drought; it
hurries the crop to maturity be-
fore the drought can do it's work,
and it causes heavy growth that
shades the ground and prevents to
some extent evaporation by heat.
If rotation is good political
health, it is equally necessary in
farming, for the prosperity of the
farmer and the stability of the
farm. When cotton has numbered
the ground for a year, "turn the
rascal OUT and try grain there
and similarly with the other crops.
Let rotation be the watch word.
A large majority of farmers can
make more on a ffty-acre farm
than one containing the traditional
200. No farmer should pay taxes
on land that he has no use for, nor
attempt to cultivate more than he
can thoroughly handle in the most
unfavorable conditions.

INSTINCT OF LOCALITY.
The Turtle Took a Direct Route
for HOme-Bee Experiment..

An interesting experiment was
tried by Maine farmers family
not long since with mud turtle
which had been brought to the
house from small pond quarter
of a mile away, says the Lewiston,
Me-, Journal. It was noticed that
when set free the reptile travelled
off in the direction of the pond
(''going back home," said one of
the lads), and this led them to put
him to the test. He was tried un-
der a great variety of circum-
stances which might tend to con-
fuse even a mud turtle of uncom-
mon mental capacity, but put
him down in whatever way they
would or anywhere, he would in
stantly turn his stubby nose
straight for the pond and walk off
with every appearance of one who
knows he is right and intends to
go ahead. He evidently had the
same instinct or supernatural
knowledge so often observed in
pigs, dogs, and cats, which will
take a bee-line for home when they
could not possibly know it's direc-
tion by any power of observation
possessed by human beings.
1t may not be amiss to note in
connection with the turtle incident
the experiments tried by an emil
nent English naturalist with bees,
which possess the same peculiar
knowledge of direction. He took
bees from their hive and carried
them in close box by circuit
Gus course to point at considera-
BILE distance away, but Oh liberia
tion they would start straight for
the hive. After testing this re-
peatedly he stopped on the way
while carrying the box and whirled
itaround his head rapidly num-
ber of times.
Then when liberated the bees
were confused and flew about in
various directions, not knowing
where to go. From this he attrib-
uted the faculty of flying straight
for home to result from the keen
attention paid by the bees to the
treUrtorrtuheu-wirt tfnIneyWsrHhe-l
ing carried away and which the
whirling of the box upset COM
pletely.

The Dispensary.
Press and BanncI

Press and Banner.
Gov. Tillman is making en-
quiries of the authorities Of the
different towns, seeking testimony
as to the result of the dispensary
system on the peace aad sobriety
of the people, and desires statistics
showing the comparative number
Of arrests for July, August, Sep
tember, and October, in 1898.
When the report is sent from
Abbeville as to thu arrests, we
hope our town authorities may ex-
plain that some eighteen or twenty
of the arrests in Abbeville were
made one day an account Of a base
ball riot among negroes, where
whiskey was not in it.

to deny that the dispensary is a

Will Suit Edgefield.

Greenville Mountainecr.
1t is much to early to be fore
casting the results of the campaign
next summer, or to predict the
outcome of the inevitable struggle
between Butler and Tillman for
the United States Senate, but we
venture to assert that tho preva-
lent fad at a third candidate will
never amount to anything, if But
ler and Tillman live to cross
swords with each other, so to speak.
Every member of the Legislature
will be aligned during the cam
paign, and there will be very few
candidates for legislative honors
who will advocate a third candl-
date before the people. 1t will be
either Butler or Tillman with
nearly all Of them, and Edgefeld
will maintain it's monopoly of the
public interest as it did last year
in the race for Governor. Why not
turn over the campaign exclusively
to Edgefeld, and have all the
campaign meetings restricted to it's
territory, with the understanding
that whoever gets Edgefeld will
walk off with the prize? 1t would
save a lot of trouble for the bal
ance of the State.

Philosophy of the Lamp.

How often we hear the queries,
Whence comes the unpleasant
odor from the use of the kerosene
lamp, and what causes the lamp
to smoke? A writer of The House
hold says: Several things will
cause the latter, q stuffy room,
without any means of ventilation
and filled with people, is often the
cause.
eff the land smokes or gives q
dull, yellow light, the perforations
in the burner, through which the
current of fresh air passes, may
be clogged with dust, and often
the burned carbon of the wick is
allowed to accumulate between the
wick tubes and becoming saturated
with oil causes the unpleasant
smell when the lamp is heated.
In all lamps, where proper and
complete combustion is maintained
there is no perceptible odor from
any quality of oil sold in the
market. Another cause of the un-
pleasant smell is that, for economy
perhaps, when leaving the room
for a time, the wick is turned
down. There is no economy in
this, but there is danger to health
and life,
"When q lamp is lighted, there
is at first time when the flame
will not burn high without smok-
ing, but after the lamp and chin
ney are properly heated and q full
supply of oil established through
the capillaries of the wick, a strong
flame can be maintained. If, with
this supply established, the wick
is turned down owing to it's de,
crease of burning surface. the sup.
ply of oil continues in the ratio
and what is not consumed in the
flames being volatilized into gas
it is carried into the air of the
room, vitating it and making il
unwholesome as we'll rs unpleasant
to breathe. A lamp, therefore
ought never to be turned low
down.
"Cleanliness is also essential tc
having a good light, preventing
odor and smoke. 1t is a goot
plan to boil the wick tubes ir
soda and water two or. three times
during the season.
