Feep Out the Frost.

The frost generally finds it's way
into the cellar this month, unless it is
carefully looked after There should
be a good thermometer in every root
cellar,and it should be the aim to keep
the temperature about 40 degrees. U.s.
ually cellars and pits are made too
warm early in the season, farmers
fearing that if they do not retain the
heat the temperature will fall too low
when severe cold comes later in the
season. We must have not only the
proper temperature in cellar to: keep
fruit and roots, but good ventilation
as well, and to this end windows in
cellar should be open when a warm
day comes even in midwinter. "A gri

Caring for seed Corn.

In some places corn was injured by
the early frosts, and great care should
be taken in selecting seed for next
crop. When we have a freeze while
the grain and cob are still damp the
germ is more or less injured 1t may
not be destroyed, but injured so that
it will lack vigor when planted and
will never produce a satisfactory crop.
The incest plan Of saving seed corn
that we have ever seen is to nail lath

carriage house or woodshed, six inches
apart, and then place the corn on

site of New Orleans in Danger.

.
Within the last few months there
has come to the notice of Maj. Quinn,
in charge of the lighthouse district,
condition which, in the course of 200
years, if continued, would result in the
complete wiping out of the city of New
Orleans. This scientific fact is simply
that the bottom of the gulf is slowly
sinking and the level of the gulf is
rising higher each year. The tide
gauges and observations show that
within twelve years the level of the
gulf has risen one foot. When the
Eads jetties were built it was decided
to establish a tide gauge and a level
and to keep a daily record Of the tides.
During the month Of July, 1894, and
last July, Maj. Quinn suspected that
the delta was gradually subsiding, and
during these two months tide gauges
were placed in deep water. From the
continuous record kept on these OBJ
servatiOnS he was able to make COM
PARSONS, and thus discovered that
since 1875, when the levels were made,
the delta had subsidized exactly one
foot. These gauges and tide levels
were placed In position in 1875 and
verified in 1877. Between that date
and 1890 the level went down one foot;
but within the last FIVE years the tides
have been stationary or nearly SO. The
sinking Of the bottom or rising of the
gulf has been a gradual affair, and is
spasmodic, as it We're. Some years
there would be no change, and, again,
there was a very great change. The
effect Of this decline will be to pro-
long the deep water channel and drive
the bar farther out to sea- The city Of
New Orleans is about sixteen feet
above the level of the gulf, and should
the gradual sinking of the land con-
tinue at it's established rate of speed
it would take about 200 years to COM
pletely wipe off the map that land
which now supports the city.-New

On Doing without.

L suppose the mistake many Of us
make in considering the subject Of
doing without is that we begin at the
wrong end. We say: ''This we must
have-and this and this" and before
our calculation is over our money is
gone. 1t would be more mathematical
to begin by saying: ave have so
much money to spend. Now, how can
we divide this so as to get the most
good out of it?" .ss
Spending is much pleasanter than
saving for most people, but character
and real grit show in no way better
than in what we are able to do with
out. AS each heart knows it's own
bitterness, so each Of us knows her
own economies. Mrs. Ewing has a
pretty little story Of a faithful soul
who scraped and scrimped and denied
herself that she might make little
presents to her friends
lowe no man anything says st.
Paul, and 'be given to hospitality"
How the anxious housewife sometimes
wrinkles her brow over the problem!
We ought to give up the idea, for
one thing, that it is mean to look after
the small expenses.
It is also true that due regard for
our own comfort and self-respect in
our household arrangements will gen.
orally please our neighbors and friends
as well as a strained effort to make
these arrangements correspond with
their ideas.
With health and youth and good
spirits one can endure many priya-
lions and be none the worse for them.
And as help to the stoical, mascu-.
line virtue Of going without, steps In
the deft. feminine virtue Of making,
the most of everything. 1t is almost
genius with some women.-Martha

LETTER FROM CUMBERLAND
COUNTY.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Your political arena has been most
interesting to me, the correspondence
of Messrs. Green and Kestler, especially
the former I know personally and
esteem very highly, not only as a true
patriot and an able man in the reform
movement, but also as a warm person
al friend, to whom l am under many
obligations. l have read much of Mr..
Kestler's writings in the last few years,
and have all confidence in his sincerity
and patriotism, and look with much
disgust upon the attempts of such r
respondents as have imputed mercen
airy motives to this big souled patriot.
whose we'll cultured mind finds it's
greatest pleasure in endeavoring to lift
his fellow man to a higher estate.
This letter is not written to criticise
anybody, but to call the attention of
certain Populists throughout the State
to the fact that we have some twenty
and more counties in North Carolina in
which great frauds have been commit.
ted in the elections, among which
counties my county, Cumberland, has
been quite conspicuous. We who live
in these counties know, as no one else
can, what a horrible state of affairs
existed among us prior to the downfall
of Democracy in "a. We are not ready
to go backward yet. We know how it
hurts, and until we have some good
reason, we cannot be induced to d.
anything that would be likely to place
us at the mercy of the class of u citi.
zens who would disfranchise the Door
white mar and the negro. 1t may come
to pass that the negro vote may be an
manipulated and controlled by vicious
men, by ace prejudice, and in other
ways as to cause us to be willing to %
backward, but with my limited exne.
rience, I am happy to think otherwise.

rison. and nine for Cleveland; in '94
seventy-one for DR.. Thompson, Popu-
list. forty-fve for Spears, Republican,
and twelve for Shaw, Democrat. This
condition prevailed largely throughout
this county in greater Of less degree.
Now I beg to suggest to those who
aspire to lead the Populists Of North
Carolina, when arranging u line of
battle for the campaign of $50 in our
State and county matters, to bear in
mind that there is a large portion of
the voters of North Carolina who have
time and again, by their ballots en-
dorsed the miss-called Democratic sys-
tenn of depriving citizens Of the free
use of their franchise.
We in this State have by divine
providence, and by the errors of the
enemies of civil liberty, been permit
ted to become the freest people on
earth; let us cultivate the tree of lib
erty now taking root in our soil. Our
sister States of the South are prac-
ticing the other policy, in greater or
less degree. South Carolina has the
most extreme system for c%urtailing the
liberties and franchises of the poorer
classes, of any State in the Union,
North Carolina is leading the States
and the world in the other extreme.
Let us proceed with the experiment,
SO that all the world may come and
learn of the two Car0linas which is the
better plan.
Mr.. Editor, allow me to call on the
folio wing gentlemen to express their
views, through your columns, on the
plan of campaigning for the Populists
to adopt for 80. l call on them, be
cause we are indebted to them in a
larger measure than to any of our other
leaders, for our present election law,
to wit: Mesgrs. Bryan. of Chatham;
Mewboorne, of Lenoir; abby, of Gran.
vile; Hileman, of Cabarrus; Brown, of
Jones, and the other gentlemen who
acted with them to secure our present
law. JOHN McDUFFIE.
