We are under special obligation to
our friend and neighbor DR.. Geo. w.
Smith for interest in and favors to our
Farmers Department, this week. We
have 'spouted" SO much we thought
it best to ''spice" our columns by var
iety and let our readers know what
Others think. and hear what they have
to say occasionally. Many of our
readers do not take agricultural pa
pers and these columns could be made
very instructive and profta BILE as we'll
rs entertaining II our best farmers and
writers would take an interest in
them and write or contribute to their
subject matter, There is a great advant
age in having dep'tment OF this kind
Of practical local character, because
every man naturally wants his county
papers and by this arrangement he
gets virtually two papers in one. Let
us have more from our farmer friends.
Your business ability and knowledge
should not be used for selfish interest
alone but given to others, for you are
indebted to others for greater part
Of what you know. Stir up an inter-
est in our farm life and let us have a
fair this fall in the court honse and
square.

THE BEST PORK.

The wholesome pig is the one that
lives in clover. The very name of the
pig-Suss crofa- is indicative of its
natural EMBELLISHMENTS and its pro-
clivity to diseases of the most unpleas-
ant type when it feeds in state of ma
ture on the general offal and decom-
posing rubbish it gathers as it roams
in pursuit offood. BUTT is quite other
wise when it is civilized and fed on
wholesome food. 1t is then ft for tile
use of civilized people, and its flesh
may be eaten without any compunc-
ton. The young pig is frolicsome
pleasant little animal and may be made
q pet of as we'll as Mary's little lamb
was. And it will follow it's owner
about quite as affectionately and enjoys
a frolic with its young feeder as much
as kitten will do. And If fed on clean
milk and given run in clover field
or is supplied with clean food there is
nothing disagreeable about 1t. 1t has
been found that when pigs are pastared
in clover fiel Id and fed with waste
milk, given fresh and sweet, with a
little grain food. pork of the best and |
most desirable kind may be made at
less than scents per pound. But for
the very best pork the pigs should
never get older than six months or
bigger than sto pounds in weight, 1856
to IFS being the best size for the finest /
bacon and hams.

The Cotton Growers Protective Asso
citation Of the State of Mississippi con-
vened in the city of Jackson this, the
3Oth day Of March, 1895, president w.
w. Stone in the chair. There was a
general interchange of views, and re.
ports were read from all sections of
the State regarding the condition of
the farmers and the outlook for the
future. Mr.. LaBlanc, Of Pike county,
offered The following resolution which
was adopted: Resolved, "That the re-
ports made to this convention by the
delegates and letters read from far
mers throughout the State, indicate
that there will, this year, be reduc-
ton of the acreage planted in cotton.
within the State of Mississippi. of from
90 to 35 per cent "
There was some remarks by Hon. C.
E. Hooker, the distinguished ex-mem-
Der of Congress, deploring the condi-
ton of agriculture, ard forcibly advo-
eating the encouragement of cotton
factories. The following resolutions
were presented to the convention by J.
b. Yellowly, of Madison county. which
were adopted:
Resolved, First, That in the opinion
of this convention the recent advance
in the price of cotton is without good
cause, and has been brought about by
of the market for pur-
pose-that purpose being to check the
growing sentiment favoring q reduce
tion of acreage to be planted in cotton
Tor the coming crop, and by encourag-
ng the production of large crop and
20 secure heavy surplus at the end of
The season to weigh down the price
Resolved, Second, That to insure the
production of the staple articles of life,
bread and meat, the farmers of Missis-
ippi should increase the corn crop at
east 33h per cent.
Resolved, Third, That economy
hould be the watch-word. and self de-
lial the practice of every farmer dur
ng the present year.
Resolved, Fourth. That no delusive
of hope, based upon fictitious
dvances in the value OF products, or
pom the idea that he may outwit his
eighbor, should lead any farmer to
bandon the well-esta blished principle
nat all farms should be self-sustain-
lg.

Truth About the Southern Negro.

The southern negro Is better of at
home than be can possibly be any
where else in the world. The condi-
tions of his life are easy, the climate
is genial and grateful, his opportunity
for acquiring independence greater
than he can hope TO encounter else
where. Whatever colored politicians
and ag;tators and professional AFRO
Americans" may say to the contrary,
the fact remains at the southern
negro lives on excellent terms with

THEY NEED GOOD STOCK.

Now. if the men of South Carolina
know enough Of this hog breeding blu.
siness to start right they will begin
by securing at once foundation stock
of the right stamp, that has character
blood, pedigree and the best of it., on
the side of both sire and dam. AS is
the character of the foundation stock
SO will be the progeny from it. Be
sure you are right, then go ahead.
Begin wrong, and time, money and
labor will be wasted; start right, and
success will follow you at every step.

HOG Raising In the South

The Charlston Is. c. News and Cou-
rier announces that It will pay 500 In
gold &c those two Of its subscribers
who shall raise the two heaviest hogs
in South Carolina the present year.
The biggest hog is to take $50 for its
owner and the second biggest $50, both
in gold. A third prize is also offered
to the subscriber who shall raise hog
showing the largest gain at the lowest
cost. The paper states that it's object
in offering these prizes is to encourage
the people of the State to raise their
own meat and to show that South
Carolina leads in the production Of hog
and hominy, as it leads in the manu-
facture Of cotton goods. 1t says the
reports it recently received from all
parts of the State show that while the
people have raised little money they
had more home-raised hog and hominy
at the close of 1894 than any other year
since the war, and some of the reports
are almost startling in regard to the
size OF the hog and the little expense
at which he was reared. 1t has been
demonstrated that bacon can be pro-
duced in South Carolina at an average
of &c per pound"

Digging Up Ancient Alexandria.

eo|c %
There seems to be a likelihood that
the treasures which are supposed to be
buried in and around ancient Alexan-
dria may be brought to light before
long. A letter from Cairo, published
in the London Times, says: "a very
important symptom of the past season
has been the awakening of interest in
ancient Alexandria, and we shall prob
ably hear a great deal about the
Ptolemaic and Roman capital in the
future. 1t is the most unexplored site
in Egypt, and it is really astonishing
that we should know so little of what
was once the first city land has always
been among the frst) on the Mediter-
ranean. The meeting place of so many
races, bound up with Jewish and early
Christian history, an unrivaled center
ct culture, the burial place OF the
%rrcatcst of ancient conqucrcrs and o.
a long line of his successors, the mosi
singular and favored city in the Roman
empire, Alexandria has limitless posi-
bilities. The ancient city lies deep
under the modern; but, now that the
municipality is favorable, the new
museum has been organized and per-
sons of local influence are at work, we
may hope that an exploration has been
begun which will prove of extraordi-
nary interest if carried through"

He found the Keystone No. ~" a

We have no comment to make as to
the correctness, the justice or injustice
OF this decision, but we frankly confess
that u brain is too sluggish to grasp
the justice OF a law that allows one to
have his case tried before twelve chosen
cltlzens, and also gives the Judge the
power to set up his judgment on the evil
dence alone, against the whole twelve.
We can understand how justice might be
served, by the court setting aside a YER
dict found by a jury contrary to law,
but when 1T turns on a question OF cyl
dence alone, the intellectual heights are
far to dizzy for us.

The above claim Is situated near the
j. r. mine in the famous gold belt.
which now attracts SO much attention.
For several Years back nothing but as
sessment work has been done on it to
develop it, but this has been sufficient
to convince the owners as to the value
OF the claim. On the surface and in
sinking the shaft several fine free gold
specimens have been found, and while
they have not been very Humorous the
finding OF them was great encourage
ment to the plospectors, The rock pans
farley we'll and it is a rare occurrence to
fail finding a color in prospecting the
same. A mill test on the ore was once
made in the one stamp mill owned by
McCulloch and Stevens, which, they say
went ten dollars to the ton OF rock.
Work was this week commenced IN the
shaft, which is now forty feet deep and
which contains a six foot ledge, nicely
encased between two solid walls, The
