Wheat.

The best land fol wheat should
be underlaid by a good, clay sub
soil, the situation should be high
and dry, and The drainage stiff
cient, Towards the last OF
this month is the usual time for
sowing in the more northern sec
tions of the cotton belt. At The
South the rad-bearded varieties are
best suited. By careful selection
of soils aud varieties, thorough
preparation and judicious fertiliz-
ing, we may make a supply for
family use; but our section is not,
in the main, suited to the raising
of wheat, and it should not there
fore be made a leading crop. There
is very little land with us natural
ly rich enough for wheat, but it
may be made SO artifcially. If
stable manure or cotton seed are
used they should be plowed in; if
cotton seed meal or commercial
fertilizers, they may be narrowed.
But the land should be deeply
plowed and brought to a fine tilth.
After the seed are sown, roll. This
will give firm seed bed and cause
a more uniform and a better stand.
1t will also lessen the danger of
injury from severe frost. AS a fore
runner of wheat there is no better
crop than field peas.-Southern

Hanna Calls for spellbinders.

Bryan will devote the last eight
davs of the campaign to Illinois.
He will speak fifteen times in the
city of Chicago alone, and if he
doesn't win he deserves to, Mark
Hauna is in Chicago already. He
arrived in that city on Friday
night last and, finding the situa-
tion little different from what he
expected, has been keeping the
wires to New York hot ever since.
His cry is for help. "Send on the
orators, we will educate these
people in spite of themselves" is
the burden of Marks song. By the
way, Mark says he doesn't want
common speakers he wants 'spell
binders" In response to this ur-
gent appeal Foraker, of Ohio; ihe-
odore Roosevelt, of New York !;
Warren Miller, every republican
Governor, Senator and congress
men without limit, are preparing
to go into the State from every
point of the compass. These are
to be under the leadership of Pres
ident Harrison who is devoting
the whole month of October to
campaign speaking. On the other
side, to oppose these giants of the
party of trusts and monopolies'

Hold Your Cotton Seed.

The Department of Agriculture
of Georgia advises farmers not TO
sell their cotton seed for less than
15cts. a bushel as it is worth that
on the farm for manure. and 10
the oil mills as much. In a re-
recent communication Commis-
siol.er Nesbitt says on this subject: /:
II have always endeavored to
convince the farmers of Georgia
that it would not pay them to sell
their cotton seed at 500 per Ton,
1O# cents bushel. The haul OF
the seed must be counted against
the farmer, and cannot be estima-
ted at less than $1,00 per ton, leav-
ing him $500 per ton-or less than
9 cents per bushel. AS meal is
selling for about $500 per ton
you will be giving three tons OF
seed for one of meal.
Three tons of seed contain Of
nitrogen 36.6 pounds, of phospho'
ric acid 90 pounds, and of potash
34.2 pounds, more than the ton ot
cotton seed meal, worth i'll the ag'
gregate $6.40. When you sell youl
seed do not do it for less than II
cents per bushel or $1,000 per ton
for when you sell for less you are
simply giving away valuable fer
tilizing material, and not only Civ
ing it away, but furnishing team
and hauling it to the purchaser
yourself. In the above calcula.
tion no value has been given tc
the mechanical effect Of the whole
seed when used as fertilizer
though every farmer knows that in
usclng the whole seed be adds con-
siderable humus to the soil, and
renders stiff clay soils more fri,
able and easier of cultivation.

Found Dead.
MIR. JOHN ROPER SUccUMBs TO
HEART DISEASE.

Columbia Register.
Mr. John Roper, who has been a.
resident of ColumLia for a year or
two, was found dead in bed yes
torday afternoon about 2 o'clock.
He had room IN the Swafield
building, over DR.. Moore's dental
Office.
Mr.. Roper was to all appear
ances in good health and spirits
on Tuesday evening when last seen.
There was nothing about his coun-
tenance or general appearance to
show that death would SO soon
demand his soul. lie retired
as usual and nothing more
was seen or heard of him un-
til yesterday afternoon when
Mr.. Luke Bryan, his brother-in-
law, who has a room in the same
building, passed Mr.. Roper's room
and noticing that the door was
ajar entered. There he saw on the
bed the body of Mr.. Roper cold in
death.
The matter was Immediately re-
ported to the Coroner, who sum-
moned a jury and DR.. DuBose.
The physician after an examina-
ton, pronounced the cause Of death
heart disease, and that, of course,
was the verdict of the jury.
Mr.. Roper came here with his
family from Edgef+ld county.
They kept a boarding house Oh
Sumter street, but after some time
they left and returned to Trenton.
Stree that time Mr.. Roper has
been living in the room where he
died, he icing engaged in collect
ing and canvassing for various en-
terprises. He was about 60 years
old and was Confederate soldier,
having lost an arm in battle. His
wife was rotified of his death and
the funeral will be held to-day.
Besides his wife he leaves four
children.

Four acres and COW were once
believed by the English agricul-
tural classes to denote an ideal
condition of life. In this coun-
try it is shown by ideal census fig
ures that there are twenty-scven
milk COWS for every 100 persons,
which means at least one COW for
every family, while the acreage is
far larger than the English ideal.
Perhaps the English farmer would
be thoroughly satisfied with this,
but the American is more ambi-
tious, and looks for something bet
