a. m., cut until noon, and then
stop for the day:
Late in the afternoon rake up
the cut vines and place in sharp
cocks about five feet high. Next
morning, after the dew is off, open
these cocks and spread the hay
around on the ground. In the late
afternoon put two or three of these
cocks together or into one, making
the tops as sharp as possible. If
the weather remains clear the cocks
may remain undisturbed until dry
enough to store away i'll the barn,
which will be in the course of three
or four days-the time varying
according to the condition Of the
weather. In case of showery
weather the partly cured hay may

firmly in the ground and standing
about twelve feet high. TIE
ground around the pole should be
first covered with an open platform
made of rails or poles laid on
stones or poles; and three or four
long poles or fence rails should be
placed upright around the centre
pole, opened out at the base and
fastened at the tops to the centre
pole. After filling the pole with
hay, finish off the top with straw
or clab grass
The rmaining instructions relate
to the making and placing of
soaps" to protect the hay from the
weather. Any waterproof covering,
it seems, will answer. "a very
good hay cap can be formed of
ordinary cotton drilling or heavy
cotton sheeting" by making q
sheet about SIX feet square, with a
strongly stitched hole at each
corner. "These sheets, one to
each cock, should be securely tied
down at each corner" The hay,
it is stated, sis considered to be
sufficiently cured for storing when
no moisture shows on twisting the

R. G. Dun & Company's weekly

R. G. Dun & Company's weekly
review of trade, says: "The
smallest failures ever recorded IN
any month for five years were those
of August. No other month since
the monthly reports were COM
menced by Dun's review exclusive
ly, has shown defaulted liabilities
as small within $1,O00,000, and
the ratio of such defaults to solvent
business, represented by exchanges
through all clearing houses, only
$1OS.70in 100000, is smaller by
26.5 per cent than in any previous
month, the clearings having been
the largest ever known in August
and $50 per cent larger than in
1892. The enormous volume of
business in month usually one
of the most inactive of the year
demands attention. Postponement
during the months of war of same
contracts and purchases which
have now come forward explains
part of the increase, and the strong
of securities explains
part, but there has also been
great decline in the average of
prices for all commodities, so that
it takes much larger volume of
business in tons or bushels to
make up transactions amounting
to a million more than in 1892. 1t
is therefore strictly true that
business is larger than in the very
best of all past years, and yet there
is every prospect of much further
increa se."

to SO many luxuries as you have
here in the north, and we do not
feel the deprivation of them as
you do. Our laborers are satisfied;
yours are dissatisfied. Ours are
growing rich, while yours are grow
fng poor.''
Referring to the war, Senator
Tillman said:
"South Carolina furnished two
regiments for the war. One of
them was at Chickamauga for some
time was ordered to Jacksonville
and was part of the army of Gen.
Fltzhugh Lee. The other regiment
never left its mastering place in
the state. There has been very
little sickness among The South
Carolina troops and as far as | am
able to learn there has been no
camp as free from disease and
death as that occupied by the army
under General Lee. This war is
worth all it has cost, because it has
completely wiped out all sectional
feeling in this country and there
is now no east, no west, no north:
no south.

PEAVINE HAY.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
A correspondent writes to in
qurire when peavines should be
cut, and how they should be cured,
to make the best of hay, and
especially whether they should be
cut before or after the peas have
begun to ripen, as he explains that
there is difference of opinion on
this point among farmers of his
acquaintance-some contending
tn at the vines are Of little value
for forage when they have fruited,
while others maintain that the food
value of mature or nearly mature
fruit more than compensates for
the loss of nutriment in the rest
of the plant.
The inquiry is of general interest,
for the reason that the reports show
that the crop in question has been
planted more extensively in the
State this year than ever before,
and that very many of the farmers
who have planted it are in doubt
as to the best methods to be employ
ed in harvesting it, and many
become discouraged from trying it
again as the result of their mistakes
and consequent disappointment
and loss this season. We cannot
do better, perhaps, than to repeat
for the information of all concerned
the views of a recognized authority
on all agricultural matters. In
answer to inquiries addressed to
HIM on the subject. Mr.. R. J.
Redding, the director of the
Georgia Experiment Station,
recently published an account of
the plan which he has pursued for
years, "with satisfactory results, !"
and we give the sub stance of his
statement. "The earlier the vines
are cut" he says, to begin with,
the more succulent they are, and
the longer the time required to
cure them, but the leaves will shed
less" If cut before they are in
full bloom "the hay will not be so
rich and nutritious" AS a general
rule, "the best time to cut is after
the viues have come into full
bloom, and whenever 81 few full
grown pods are to be seen here and
there" When the leave have be-
gun to turn yellow and drop off,
"it is an indication that the
proper time for moving has come
and gone"
The instructions for curing"
the vines are clear and explicit.
"Wait until the dew is off, before
cutting them. "Never cut when
the vines are at all wet" Start the
~ over or reapers about 8 o'cloc k

There is as much, it appears,
in the officer behind the camp as
in the man behind the gun.
Secretary Alger is reported as say
ing that Gen Fitzhugh Lee ';has
turned out to be the best corps COM
mander we have. He simply did
his duty AMI looked after the
health of his men. He ordered
the adoption of certain sanitary,
and saw that they
were enforced" with the result
that, though his camp was located
at Jacksonville, "only 2 per cent
of his men were sick, while camps
further, north have been overrun
with disease"

and fingers" One rule, to be
especially observed, is 'never
handle the vines When partly
cured, except late in the afternoon
or early in the morning, and,
indeed, the vines should be hand
led as little as possible to avoid
the loss of the leaves"
