The following letter from Prof, j. f.
G. DuPre, OF Clemson College, con-
tains seasonable information for the
gardener:
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sc, June2 4, 1895.
My DEAR SIR Replying to yours
of the 18th inst, L beg to say that the
question OF how to succeed In raising
a second or fall crop of Irish potatoes
has not been definitely settled. "The
best laid schemes of mice and men,"
ETC., aplanythat succeeds one year may
fail the next. A great deal depends
upon the seasons. There Gun be no
doubt that when successful the second
crop is the better, and tits decidedly
the best for seed for spring planting.
To reply to n of your questions, ]
quote from (my) Bulletin No. %, issued
IN March, 1898, by this Station, The
great difficulty Is in getting O. stand
early enough Tor the plant To mature
before frost. This oan usuaiiytb be had
ta) by bedding, out the potatoes just
after digging, as you would sweet

manure, and keep the bed damp. (b)

advice, except to correct what may be
an error. The advice to plant whole
potatoes only was based upon-my own
practices n the opinion of many OLD

In 1893, after this Bulletin was
published, a friend of mine living ON
the college grounds, being short OF
seed, cut nis potatoes to one and two
eyes. He planted at the same time
that L did, his seed we're cut, mine
were whole. The result was that his

good crop, while mine lay dormant

until after frost, and made nothing.
Neither of these were sprouted,

General Butler at the November term,

constitutionality of the registration

on the Ord of last December.

little late to create much interest, but

has been much private and public talk
about the delay in rendering the decis-

Deep Breathing.

L have always remembered the
remark of a singing-school teacher
under whose instruction | sat when
young. He was at that time u large,
strong man with full chest, but in
giving his pupils the advice to
practice deep breathing, declared
that he had beena at n time a con-
sumptive, and mad cured himself by
deep breathing. | have followed
his advice more or less, and credit
the health and soundness of my
lungs partly to that, and no doubt
my entire freedom from sickness for
many years is in part due to this
practice.
L would not claim for deep breath
ing what many of its admirers do.
1t is not q universal panacea, bat
lung and heart diseases, and even
Dyspepsia, may be greatly helped
by it, not to speak of its excellence
as a preventive. There are poison
Gus exhalations in the lower lungs
which, if allowed to remain must
not only affect the lungs where they
are, but will get into the blood, and
thus poison more or less the whole
system. Deep, breathing not only
carries off this cause of malaria from
the lower lung, but supplies in its
place the oxygen which the system
needs for the disposition of waste
matter in other parts of the body.
1t should so without saying that
the air must be pure or it may carry
poison into the lungs while it is
carrying the exhalation away. BE
not frightened if when you first try
the experiment, you become a little
dizzy. As an elocntionist used to
tell us it is only a surprise to your
lungs which they do not at first
know how to maarstand--3Ho

"Be Good to Yourself.

This is a common admonition,
and it is full of important meaning,
A man should take as good care of
himself aus he does of his horse but
how few do this! If you do not
take care of yourself, no one can
take care of you. Take care of your
body. Consider its needs. "Make
up your mind firmly not abuse it.
Dat nothing that will hurt it; wear
nothing which distorts or pains it.
DO not overload it with victuals, OF
drink, or work. Give yourself reg
nlar and abundant sleep. Keep
your body warmly clad. AT the
first signal of danger from any of
the thousand enemies which sur
round you, defend yourself, DO not
axe cold guard yourself against it
if you feel the first symptoms, give
yourself heroic treatment get into a
fine glow of heat by exercise. This is
the only body you will ever have in
this world. A large share of pleas
ure and pain of life will come
through the use you make of it.
Study deeply and diligently the
structure of it, the laws which
govern it, the pains and penalties
which will surely follow u violation
of every law of life and health"
Giorify God in your body, and let
your body be a temple Of the Holy
Ghost, that God may dwell in you
and walk in you.

TYPHOID FEVER AND SOCIETY,"
Typhoid fever, like death, is no re-
specter of persons A lay journal
laments the fact that this very dem
ocratic disease has attacked several
members of society during the
past fall, and has thereby interfered
sadly with many high social func-
tions. DR.. Samuel Wilks, in a
recent address, asserts that typhoid
fever seems 10 need no specially
adapted soil, but seizes upon the
vigorous and healthy as quickly as
upon the weak. This is the general
experience, though as age increases
some immunity is experienced. Most
intelligent persons nowadays know
that typhoid is communicated
through what we eat and especially
through what we drink. In the
houses of the intelligent and of the
wealthy, and in many we'll con-
Quoted hotels, sterile waters are
largely provided. Yet the disease
continues to affect the rich and the
poor. This only shows that the
watehfulness is not complete
enough; it is easy to forget
when the enemyis u subtle and in
visible one, and one that turks in
dark and unexpected places, as do
the germs of enteric fever.-M Medical
