If our farmers would cultivate less
land and manure it more highly, work it
better, and plant the best seed, they
would make more money As a writer
has said, and truly, farmers are gov
rned too much by acpes and not enough
bushels "
The system of farming, where a smaller

/ every instance doubtless to produce the
,esU results. 1t stands to reason that it
hould. With certain amount of labor

much land as can be thoroughly cult

more extended area when the cultivation

The practice Of Overcropping has been
Jhe fault of many farmers in the south
md we are satisfied they have grievously
suffered for it. 1t is an easy matter for a
farmer in the course of a few weeks in
the spring to plant twice as much of corn,
cotton, tobacco, peas, potatoes, sugar cane
and the like as he can properly keep in
good condition of cultivation during the
summer.
If you would see a farmer as near
'panic-struck' as he is likely to get dur
ing a seasons campaign you have only

spell in June the one that has thirty-five
or forty acres in cultivation where
he should have had only twenty-four
or twenty-five, and that has not been
favored with specially good seasons in
April and May Unfavorable weather,
either too dry or too wet, has so retarded
his work and interfered with his plans
that he finds in June that there is CON
siderable yet to be done in the way of
chOpPing out cotton, the corn field is be-
ginning to get grassy, the grain needs to
be cut; and, taken altogher, he finds that
the work that really should be done in a
week or two will require, with all the
good weather possible, twice that time to
accomplish. 1t makes him blue-and
many repetitions of such periods of
anxiety will tend to make him little
gray too.
1t IS not an unusual thing for farmer
under such circumstances to throw
out considerable area that is already
started in crops. He finds he will have to

attempts to keep it all agoing he runs the
risk of having the grass take such a hold
upon the very best of his crops, that on
his best land the yield will probably be

ants Of each community recognize each

ard kept them apart for o year and
nine months, at the end of which they
at once recognized each other, "and
we're perfectly friendly, while they at
tackled ants from q different nest, al-
though of the. same Species" Sir John
made his ants drunk with whisky and
left them to their friends. The tipsy
ones had nothing to say, but their
friends knew them and dragged them

ones were watched over until thcy wcra

A Bill That Can't Be Defended.

| We feel safe IN saying that there is no
precedent in this or any other country
for the bill pending in the South Carolina
legisture, by which it is proposed to take
the Augusta and Port Royal railroad
from its owners and sell it upon such
conditions as would make it impossible
10 obtain for it a fraction of its real
value. What it is proposed to do amounts,
practically, to rObbing the stockholders
and b0ndholders Of their property
The excuse for this high handed pro-
cedure is, that Port Royal, the seaboard
terminal Of the road may be built up.
The charge is made, but not sustained,
that the Central railroad. which owns
controlling interest in the road, is hostile
10 Port Royal, and does nothing to en-
courage business at that port. Even if
this charge We're true, would it justify
the state in doing the great wrong that
is proposed?
We do not believe that the people of
South Carolina approve the poposed out
rage upon the rights of the owners of the
Augusta and Port Royal road If we are
not mistaken there is a scheme to get
possession of the road by men who are
spectators, who are largely interested in
Port Royal real estate. Could they get
the road they might be able to start
short-lived boom at Port Royal and IN
load their holdings there. Can the legis-
lature Of South Carolina afford to lend
itself 20 such a scheme?
If the Augusta and Port Royal road
had viollted its charter there would be
some excuse for multiplying that contract,
but it has done nothing of the kind 1t
obeys the laws of the state, and has
been managed so as to promote
prosperity of the territory tribu-
rary TO it. 1t has never been a pay
Ing property, though upon its present
basis it meets its obligations. The hope
of its owners is that with the improve
meut of the country it will eventually be-
come valuable.
If the bill taking the road from its
owners becomes a law what them Will
not that be the beginning of litigation
that may las for years, and which may
absorb the whole value of the road3 That
certainly is the prospect. The owners of
the road will not see their property taken
without fight, and il is doubtful if the
courts would sustain the legislature in
doing what it proposes to do. There must
be men in the legislature who will protest
vigorously against the contemplated
wrong

The Tea Was 5000 Pound and She
