took the position that a convicted man,

simply as a means OF holding him. He
spoke OF the bias natural 10 prosecuting
attorneys. and mentioned a former prose-
cutting attorney OF Pierce county who went
down into the jail and urged certain pris-

would convict them anyhow.
Daniel keNener suggested as n remedy

BETTER FARMING.

Relatively speaking, small farms pay
better than large ones, acre per acre.
The agricultural prosperity Of the South
will be greater when the farms aver
age a smaller acreage. It is an excep-
tion when we find man that can cul
tivate and manage q large farm as we'll
as small one. It requires no mean
order of executive ability to cultivate a
1000 acre farm with hired labor, and
to make a good profit on the crops efter
expenses are paid, and at the same
time manage the farm so that it's fer
tility is maintained. OF course, we
cannot call anyone good farmer who
robs the soil of its fertility year by
year, paying back nothing. Good
farming means raising crops that net a
fair profits after expenses are paid,
and at least maintaining the fertility
of the land.
But the best order of farming is not
only to maintain fertility, but to in
crease it year by year. How is this to
be done3 On small farms, where a
good deal Of stock is kept, stable ma
nure may materially aid. But for large
acres Of land, we must assuredly de-
pend on a wise rotation and diversity
of crops, and upon turning under green
crops for fertiIizing purposes, growing
the clovers and other leguminoua
plants. Very frequently it will be
necessary to supply some artificial Or
commercial fersilizers-those specially
rich in mineral matters, where the soil
is lacking in this kind of fertility

ANIMALS NEED SHADE.

All the animal world, if it could,
would choose the shade during the ex-
treme summer days. The dog follow
ing his master along the country road
dips in the roadside pool, and the horse,
if given the rein, will slo " up 20 a walk
under refreshing bit of shade cast by
q row of trees.
Is it any wonder, asks W. 81 Gard
ner, in Humane Journal, that the com
fort loving swine has the cholera when
we set them, by the hundred, in great
fields with no better shade than a wire
fence affords?
It is not many years ago that promi-
nent New York agriculturist-a large
feeder and fattener of cattle by pastur
age-cut down all his shade trees be-
cause his scales told him the cattle
gained flesh faster in the fields having
no shade. The cattle took too much
comfort in the shade, did not eat
enough to fatten as fast as in fields
without shade. We believe this to be
mistaken theory. The more comfort
an animal takes the faster it will lay
on flesh.
The cow having access to quiet shade
gives the most milk of the most health
full quality. The horse loves shade as
we'll as the man, or the dog, or any
other creature. Let it not be forgotten
that when the suns heat is oppressive
to one animal it is to all. When the
sun is a life giving elixir to one it is
likely to be to all. 1t CT sts naught but
care and attention. Protection should
be the first fruit of civilization.

THE HELPLESS FARMER,

In arecent issue of the Ruston Leader
the editor remarks that cotton is the
most helpless crop that can be raised
upon the farm. Corn, wheat, oats, hay
and nearly everything else, when the
market is over supplied, can be fed to
the stock and to the family. These
things make not only the farmer in a
measure self supporting, but are power
ful elements of independence to the
country in which they are raised. The
Ruston Leader could hardly have writ
ten a truer paragraph. It is one of
the most conspicuous facts in our
Southern agriculture that when the
season is finished and the crop he's
failed to be lucrative, the Southern
planter is greatly distressed in his en-
deavors TO effect credit arrangements
for the coming year. With diversified
agriculture, producing several crops,
some Of which will almost surely sue
ceed, and with the production in par
ticular Of all those articles that are
consumed at home, and which can be
produced with reasonable economy,
the farmer acquires a degree of inde
pendence that no other class of men
possess. The absolute helplessness of
the man who produces but one crop,
and that crop that he cannot feed to
his stock, and which can only be sold
into the markets of the world through
the usual channels, is a feature of our
Southern agriculture which we trust
will be less conspicuous in the future
than in the past.-Southern Farmer.
