AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.

According to ID. #. Clayton 1t is the
Source of Our Wealth.
The civilized world stands amazed at
the vast Accommodations of the American
people, and the query from home and
abroad is from whence it came, and
what is its true source? We answer
that our success is due to two agencies,
both of which the American people pos
sess in the highest degree, namely.
labor and its intelligent application TO
the richest natural resources Of any
country. In the consideration of the
true source of our national wealth we
must combine these two elements as
one and inseparable. Man must furnish
labor and nature must furnish all the
material upon which labor is expended.
Our labor has always been of the high
est type, from the fact that the people
of the United States are the remote, if
not the direct, descendants of repre-
sentative foreign element that had
learned to think for itself, and when de-
barred from acting for itself, to seek a
country of equal social and political
rights where it could plant the banner
of the largest freedom and where it
could enjoy to the fullest extent the
fruits of it's own labor.
Our population is made up oil an en-
ergetic class that is willing to leave
the scenes of childhood, the home of
youth, the mother tongue and native
land to cast their fortunes with a
strange people. The American citizen.
whether native or foreign born, is quick
to recognize the rights of all who would
come to our shores to better their con.
dition and to throw around them all
the safeguards of protection in every
social and political right. From the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers there
has been a healthful growth in the
spirit of freedom, morality, industry,
and economy. The environments that
surround the American citizen are an
tagonistic to royal exclusiveness. They
regard labor as respectable and meas
ure men by the standard of virtue and
personal worth.
The natural product of the soil, aided
by intelligent labor, is the greatcreative
force, the only source from which
wealth may be obtained to meet all OBJ
legations. The street car fare, interest
on bonds, dividends on stocks, the SOL
diers' pensions, the fees of the profess
sional, the dry goods and the. grocery
bills, as well as the cost of conducting
ell the intricate machinery of the gov
eminent, must be paid by the revenues
from the soil.-North American Re

"She is well-known woman in this
city, who has often given valuable aid
to our society. We are fast solving
the temperance problem, we believe,
through the methods we now have in
practice. We propose in the near fu-
ture to erect small booths in the vicin-
ity of cabstands or elsewhere where
workingmen congregate in large num-
bers. We believe that the only reason
any person enters a saloon is to get
something to warm him up bit. This
is especially true at night, when most
of the restaurants where persons of
moderate means can go are closed up
town. We will first look after the
center of the city with our temperance
chariot and then branch out to the
river fronts and other points where the
saloons do big business at night.
"In time we hope to build in a thicl<ly-
crowded section of the east side great
temperance saloon or coffee house,
sort of Golden house, with many new
ideas incorporated. Among these will
be big gymnasium, a drillroom for
our society of boys, who are young cru
saders for temperance and purity; a
library and hall for performances, and
lecture and reading-rooms. The restau-
rant will be quite feature, and from
this building will emanate all the sup
plies for our various wagons and booths
throughout the city,"

All good people in this state will re-

struck at tie present system of leasing
convicls to private individuals. This
system has brought more suffering to

Gure, aud has been the cause of the

and inhumane treatment, would have

posture in the coal mines have resulted
in deadly consequences to these un-
fOrtuuates.
Recently Governor Atkinson sum-
moned some of the convict lesSees be-
fore him, and in the trial that took
place in the capitol, evidence was pro-
duced to show that the treatment

full. Some had been whipped until they
were a mass of blood; others were de

QUESTION. Would you advise that
seed corn be selected i'll the field, or is it
Just as well to select the fine ears after
the corn is housed? My plan has al.
ways been to keep boxes or barrels
handy and in taking the feed corn out
of the crib, to reserve the very fine ears
by throwing them into these receptacles.
ANswER-In selecting seed corr we
should reserve not only the finest ears,
but these should be taken from the best
stalks. After the corn is gathered and
thrown into the crib we, of course, can
form no idea Of the stalks on which the
best ears were grown, and therefore it
is the safest plan to select the seed from
the field as the crop is gathered. This
may be done by going through the field
ilrst selecting the finest ears on the most
vigorous and best developed stalks. The
ears should not only be large. but well
formed also-that is the same or nearly
the same size from tip to tip-Well filled
at the ends as well as i'll the middle, the
cob small and the grains wedge shaped,
that is much smaller at the bottom than
at the top. If not practicable to gather
the seed corn first, then have box in
the wagon, and as the crop is gathered
throw the selected ears in this. If you
do not make the selection yourself,
don't trust it to the Judgment of the Or
binary farm hand-delegate it to some
one on whose discrimination you can
derend. In the matter of seed corn,
farmers, as rule. do not realize the i'm
portance of careful selection. BY actual
test it has been shown that good seed
will make q difference of several addi-
tional bushels to the acre. To keep up
this advantage, the seed should he So

MACON, July 81. 1t is stated
en- reliable authority that a res
olution is to be prepared in Ma.
con and introduced in the next
general assembly serving to
break the consolidation of COM
peting railway lines in this
State. The statement is made
officially and it is no longer to
be doubted that Southern mo-
noply will be fought to the Bit
ter end
The fight before the legisla-
ture means that every member
of that body will be forced to
declare either for or against the
railroad, and thus new political
complication arises.
