We have received the first issue Of the
Carolina Farmer, published at Flor
ence, 5. C., from which we extract the
following:
During the state fair we had the
pleasure Of meeting Mr.. w. G. Iinson,
of James Island, and at our special re-
quest he gave us the result of his cxpe-
rience in feeding stock on sweet pota-
toes. He stated that he had been using
the potato for several years for this
purpose, and found it not only admira-
bly, adapted for the purpose. but far
cheaper than either corn or oats. lie
uses them for his work animals, cattle
and hogs. and finds that they all thrive
on them and keep in the best possible
condition. He has a small cutter that
cuts up the potatoes sufficiently
small to prevent danger of chok-
ing, and then feeds them raw. The
quantity for q large mule for each
meal is one ordinary-sized bucket
full. In order to give the gastric juice
of the stomach better chance to act
on them, he gives in addition about
two quarts of rice -four or bran. He
commences feeding them as soon as
they are large enough to dig, and
keeps on until the potatoes begin to
sprout in the spring. lie keeps them
in a cellar instead of banking them,
and regards this as much the better
plan. as it makes them more easily ac-
ccssible, and then Obviates the trouble
Of washing them before feeding. Mr..
Hinson regards them as the cheapest
stock food that we can raise. and it is
almost needless for us to say that Mr..
Hinson is good authority on anything
relating to agriculture. Those Of our
farmers who have large crops Of po-
tatoes would do well to utilize them in
this way and sell their corn-that is,
as much of it as can be spared.-Farm
and Ranch,

FARMERS. TAKE COURAGEl

Times Are Not So Hard - They Were In
1865. Though Hard Enough.
During a recent visit to nv planta-
tion in Lee county, Ga, I was very
much gratified to know that ma iority
of my neighbors had raised enough
corn, potatoes and peas to last them
during 1885. and to observe that they
were sowing an unusual number of
acres in oats: they have also a good
many hogs to kill vet, but I found
them far from cheerful. Five-cent
cotton has made them lose heart,
and their courage and cheer
fulness have been greatly dissi-
pated. The small debts which they
owe, and which are due, are staring
them in the face, and their incomes
from the sale Of their cotton have been
too small to enable them to pay out.

COTTON ACREAGE.
The Proposition to Reduce 1t Should n
End In Talk.

The Proposition to Reduce 1t Should Not
End In Talk.
1t 10 to be hoped that the PROPOSE
ton to reduce the acreage in cotton
will not end in talk. The commercial
world can not be misled by the pas
sage of resolutions declaring that the
cotton acreage should be reduced. 1t
requires the actural accomplishment
of the proposed reduction to affect. in
the slightest degree, the markets Of
the world. To bring about the re-
turn Of fair prices for cotton. the
crop must be reduced. How can
this result he accomplished? Not
by the efforts of one community.
one county, or one state; but by the
combined action Of planters through
out the cotton belt How can this con-
cert of action he brought about? We
know of no way except the continual
agitation of the subject through the
press Of the country. and by the united
efforts Of farmers throughout the south.
When the manufacturer finds he can
not realize the cost of the products of
his mill. he wisely discontinues manu-
featuring until prices improve. When
the merchant finds he can not sell an
article for the money it costs, he pur-
chases no more until prices change SO
he can realize profit.
Then why should the cotton-grower
continue to impoverish himself and
burden his home with debt by contin-
uing to plant cotton after its market
value is below the cost Of its produc-
ton?
It is absolutely true that the more
cotton farmer gathers, gins and sells
at five cents per pound the more money
he loses.
A shrewi man, of wide business ex-
periencc. was heard to say recently
that he had saved several thousand
dollars by allowing his large planta-
ton to remain uncultivated and with
out tenants for four or five years.
His neighbors had cultivated cotton
and sold il at loss. Their work was
thrown away absolutely: their lands
were more or less impoverished and
damaged, and the only result of their
efforts was an increase in the amount
of their debts.
If the acreage of cotton throughout
the south should be reduced to three
fourths of the acreage of 1894, the
price of cotton would advance at least
to a remuncrative figure. If this
policy is adopted and adhered to for a
term of years, instead of having to
find a market for their crops, the buy
ers would hunt up the farmers and
purchase their cotton at their doors.
Hy all means let there be . general
determination throughout the south to
discontinue policy SO manifestly ruin
Gus. and return to profitable farming.

For an Inv.lid's Comfort.

1t takes strong nerves to endure
patiently the noise caused by putting
coal on the fire. and If such noises are
trying to persons in health, they are
often the occasion of positive suffering
to the invalid. This difficulty was sur
mounted in a simple way by a clever
nurse. who requested that the coal
sent to her patients room should first
be placed in paper bags, such as come
to the house with grocers' supplies. 1t
was then very easy matter to lift
them out as needed, the process being
attended with no noise whatever. A
little thought and ingenuity might de-
wise equally simple ways to overcome
other difficulties which are now the
cause of discomfort and pain.-Har-
pers Bazaar.

Tho Refuse Pail.

In summer, when green vegetables
fill the refuse pail to overflowing, it is
daily emptied, and in neat households
washed out and dried in the sun. When
in use it is covered and kept outside
the kitchen door. In the winter, when
there is a small amount of refuse, it is
the slovenly practice Of some house.
keepers to keep it within doors. There
is more danger in doing this than in
summer. because the kitchen is not as
well ventilated in winter. while the
germs Of disease that lie buried in the
refuse that decays in few hours in
the heated atmosphere of the winter
kitchen are just as potent for harm as
in summer.-N. Y. Tribune.

Times are not SO hard as they
were in 1865, and our surroundings are
not SO gloomy; we must not yield to
dependency and despair in a time Xix.
this 1t is . cowardly humanity which
sits down in gloom and despair. and
laments and grieves over its lot be-
cause it is confronted by great diff
culties and surrounded by terrible OBJ
stacles and the strictest economies.
Let us have faith and courage in the
future and find stimulus in opportuni-
ties, not depression and despair.
The more difficult the task and
the sterncr the duty before
us, should excite the greater resolu-
ton and effort. The man who avoids
and shirks duty when the task is hard,
is the greater coward for it. As long
as one has faith in himself, there is no
cause for despair. Our farmers must
cheerfully and bravely face their diff
culties, and they will surely overcome
them. We must not lose faith in our
fellow-men nor confidence in the
promises of our Maker. Brave cheer
fulness and rcsolutc courage will over
come all the obstacles which our
southern farmers are now meeting.
