Some negroes of property in North
Carolina have organized a company
and will start cotton mill to be oper-
ated entirely by negro labor. This is
far more sensible than the project Of
certain white capitalists in that State
to operate their mills by colored help.
There will be no objection in the South
to the exclusive employment of negro
labor in a mill owned and managed by
negro capitalists, but trouble is sure TO
result from the other plan.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
The Pig Pen.

Small pig pens which can be easily
moved from place to place are much
better for hogs than the large ones,
where twenty or more are gathered in
heaps together. If plenty of straw is
provided, each pig will make warm
enough bed for ITSELF. Separate pens
should at least be provided for the
breeding sows. Many pigs are lost
each year by crowding sows into pens
with other hogs too near their farrow-
ing time.

Removing Stains FROM Silver.

To remove stains from silver, especi-
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect, use sulphuric acid, rub
bling it on with little flannel pad,
then rinsing the articles most carefully
at once. For less ingrained stains,
the pulp of lemon, whose juice has
been used for lemon squash, may be
recommended, as both efficient and
harmless. Indian silver and brass are
always cleaned by natives with lemon
or lines. It may be as well to warn
housekeepersi in these days, when pretty
serving is such consideration, that,
where one has to reheat food in sill
YER dish from which it is impossible to
shift the eatable, baking tin should
be half filled with hot water, doubled
sheet of paper should be placed in this
and the silver dish stood upon it, after
which it will take no harm from the
effects of the oven heat. Again, as
eggs and vinegar are alike apt to dis
color plated or silver dishes, always
run little weak aspic jelly over the
silver dish before dishing the mayon-
naise, etc., to be served in it, and if
this coating is allowed to set before
putting in the other materials the dish
will suffer no damage that hot soap
and water will not easily remove.

CALCULATIONS I might utter, for of late
there has been trouble on the old
mans mind. You see, was invited
over here to talk to these people in a
humorous and philosophic way, and
my wife said as the larder was getting
low and the girls needed some more
winter clothes, and the tax man was
bobbing around and the grandchildren
would be expecting something for
Christmas, she thought 1 had better
go. So she packed my valise with
my best clothes, and fortified me with
little drug store of camphorated oil
and flannel and liver medicine and
paregoric and cough drops and quinine
and headache powders, and so forth
and SO on. We kissed goodby all round
and l departed feeling like was being
driven off from home by sad necessity.
l took the Seaboard Air Line at At
lanta bound for Charlotte, via Monroe,
but our engine broke down at Green's
boro about dark and this delayed us
three long, dreary hours, and when we
reached Monroe it was way after mid
night and the Charlotte train had
gone. There were three nice ladies
aboard and several gentlemen, who
were greatly disappointed, but the
conductor was kind and sympathetic
and said there was circus train near
by that was going to Charlotte right
away and if we didn't mind riding
thirty miles in cab he would get us
the privilege. The ladies, said yes,
and We did, too, and climed in. 1t
was as dark as Erebus. We felt our
way to find seats, but there was moth
ing but some long tool boxes whose
lids were hard and cold. There was no
fire and the wind blew through broken
glass on the back of my head. The
ladies chatted away merrily, for they
were going home, but 1 wasn't and
couldn't chat to save my life, for I was
very tired and thought of that good
soft bed at home. By and by the
conductor came in with lantern and
took up our tickets and left us in the
dark again. About that time the ami
mails got restless and the lion gave an
unearthly howl. You see this was .
