A Psalm of Art.

II you want to make q fashionable poster
For 10 advertise a novel or a pill,
You can do It, sir and be a smiling
boaster
That the selling IS a matter Of your skill
You must draw dame with awful angu-
larity
In landscape that's geometry run
mad
Give her frocx a sweep with long par
ticularity.
And a pattern that no raiment ever had.
Oh, the sky IL must be green, and the
tree it must be bluel
And a lake must look a claret-colored
bubble:
And a foreground must be found
That can be far background,
But fashionable posters worth tho
trouble.
Pray be careful that you're never true to
nature,
Pray be wary. lest you're ever true to
Not a touch OF beauty to human feat
urel
II YOU dare do that. my boy. you'll
break my heart.
Make a purple sun against salmon
mountain:
Paint n torrent every wave OF which is
brown;
Spread a figure in the middle, wrestling
with a tall horse-fddle
All the colors ranged in strata on her
gown.
NIB.
Oh. your rocks must be triangular. your
clouds must all be square.
And n garden must be rank with crazy
lilies.
And raw red and blue and yellow must be
jostling each his fellow,
And you thus have art for Trade, ana
Cash, and Stiles.

apples are of much greater value for
 feed than most farmers are aware of.
 It is popular belief that apples are in furious to cattle. This is true, if fed in too large quantities at time, and the same may be said of corn meal or any other concentrated feed, l have found that if fed in proper quantities in con- nection with other feed the results is most excellent. Some of the best pork and beef have ever eaten was fattened on apples and corn meal.

wise patronizing nearby nurserymen
 whose reputation for honesty and fair
 dealing we know to be good. In select
 ing trees 1 would take large ones two or
 three years from the bud and would not
 object to their being year or two older
 if they were thrifty and the roots in proportion to the top. l would head
 them high, and in the annual pruning
 I would be careful to keep them well up,
 so as not interfere with the cultivation
 of the ground. In digging trees from
 the nursery row it is impossible to save
 all the roots and before setting in the or
 chard care should be taken to remove enough at the top to bring the root and
 top into balance, so to speak.
 There is much difference of opinion in regard to the best way of managing or chards, but 1 believe all intelligent or chardsts agree that the ground should be cultivated for at least six or eight years. My own opinion is that 10 or F would be better. After this time, if the trees have made heavy growth and are large they may be brought into earlier bearing by seeding the orchard to grass but all that is gained by earlier fruiting will be lost in the growth of the trees.
 Spraying. Well, in regard to this hardly know what to say. In the limited experience which 1 have had the resultsshave seemed to be different at different times. 1 have sometimes mo- ticed good results, at other times could see none. think one of the greatest obstacles in the way of insect extermi nation is the breeding places to be found in the thousands If scrub apple, wild cherry and other trees in the hedges, 1 roadsides and waste places all over this l part of the country. Could these he'd | ges and waste places be cleaned up, we | might find much better Iesults from spraying. As things are now, if we would receive much benetia from spray ing we must keep it up consistently and often, for while we are killing one crop of insects, another is being raised in these insects nurseries, ready to take the place of those killed, as soon as it is safe to do so.

The Colleges.

4 AZ we understand II, the denominational
colleges contemplate combined effort before
the next Legislature to secure Legislation
that will be beneficial to private or chartered
educational institutions, and which may pre-
vent the State Colleges from absorbing the
business which they may regard as legimate-
" their own.
The State has never charged taxes against
any college, or any college endowment. This
concession alone is worth much.
This newspaper does not favor the main
tenance OF the citadel, as now supported.
The scholarships are given to the boys who
can give the best proof that they have less
need an education than their competitors.
The Chsrleston Citadel was organized
at time when we believed in State
Rights and the Citadel was Instituted as a
free college for the sons OF gentlemen who
had been unfortunate"
The theory of State Rights has been explod'
led, and as matters now 60, the sons of"unfor'
tunate gentlemen" no longer occupy all the
places in the recitation rooms. With the
passing Of the old idea and with the disap'
pearance OF the sons of unfortunate gentle
men, the main objects for establishing the
Citadel no longer exist.
Having served the purposes for which II
was established. the Legislature might appro-
priste an annuity to the advertising agent,
close the doors OF the institution, and let It's
finished career be recorded in the annals OF
history.
Provide for the advertising agent, and lei
the boys 60 to Clemson.

districts, and that they were being sent out In
reply 10 these applications as fast as they
could, He said that 1t seemed from these ap,
plications that wherever there we're "blind
tigers'' tha sentiment was against them, and
the presence Of the Illicit sale OF liquor was
promptly reported to the office. AS 70 the
cost OF the force, he said that was small
matter, and If the force cost twice what 1t did
at present 1t would be worth 1t, not alone
from the amount Of illegal bosiness 1t
stopped, but from the amount OF liquor that
IL prevented from being sold. He went on To
say that II the force cost twice as much as at
present 1t would be immaterial for the dis.

Patience : win S tables.

The quality of farm help is more,
nearly tested by its ability to manage
q team without abusingit than by any
other one thing. The horse is q SEM
sitive, nervous animal, and If abused,
as it often is, 1t soon becomes restlesss
and finally obstinate and vicious. A
great many horses are ruined by the.
poor quality of barn help. which Is.
now SO common If better help cannot.
be procured 1t may be necessary to do.
as is done by Southern farmers, breed:
mules, which will resent iIptreatmentl
so promptly thatythey WILDE less ike
ly to be abused than is the horse. For
very rough work among stumps and on
rocky land oxen will do better work,
and be less liable to break farm im.;
.plements than will horses. OK teams
were common in the earlytdays, when.
there was much woodland to be clear
ed, !. and they can even yet be used with
advantage in many places. 4
