Sayings of Ingersoll.
SELFISHNESS.

I do not see how it is possible
for a man to die worth millions
of dollars in a city full of pain,
where every day he sees the
withered hand of want and the
white lips of famine I do not
see how he can do it, any more
than he could keep pile of lum-
Der on the shore where hundreds
and thousands were drowning in
the sea.
Extraordinarily.
I am a believer in fashion. 1t
is the duty of every woman to
make herself as beautiful and
attractive as she possibly can.
Handsome is as handsome
ID but she is much handsom-
er if well dressed. Every man
should look his very best. I am
a believer in good clothes. The
time never ought to come in this
country when you can tell far

clothes she wears. l say to every

hundreds of her friends in this city. She

Care of Maturing Cabbage.

Among the gardens in France says
one who is visiting there, it is custom
ary for them to half pull up and tip
over their cabbage plants SO that water
may drain out of the leaves. They say
that if this is not done the center will
rot or the leaves sun scald. We have Of
ten done the same thing ourselves, not
to prevent rot or sun scald, but to check
the rapid growth and prevent hem
from cracking open before we were
ready to take them to market.
1t is a very small garden in France
which does not have one or more shell
ters, cheaply built and straw matched,
perhaps, in which to keep the fruit and
vegetables shaded from the sun OF pro
tected from rain while the work of
gathering is going on. In this matter
some Of our gardeners might learn a
lesson from them. 1t is by just these
little niceties Of care in gatherin" and
putting up their products that the
French gardeners are able to compete
in London market with the English
growers, who do not have to transport
their products so far, and who could,
if they would take the same pains, put
their fruit or vegetables in the market
fresher looking than those which have
come hundreds of mileS.-American

What a Good Farmer Does.

There is a standard Of excellence by
which we may judge the farmer just
as other things are judged. 1t would
be we'll if we would look well over this
standard occasionally and sit in judg-
ment upon ourselves. By so doing we
find some room for improvement, some
rough corners we could knock off and
thereby put ourselves in better shape
to be Judged by our fellows. In the
first place the good farmer is as thor
ouch a scholar as circumstances will
permit of. And as long as he continues
active in the duties and responsibilities
of life he remains a student and his
greatest aim is to get light that will il
Illuminate his way and make crooked
things straight. His highest ann in life
is to make educated men and women
out of his children and thoroughly
competent to enter upon their llfe'S
work. whatever they may choose. The
man that doesn't live in his children
and shape his ends for their advance
ment and future success in life, hasn't
formed correct ideas of mans mission
on earth.
A GOOD farmer is a man of correct
principles, honest in all his dealings
and Just to his fellows. He pays his
tax so willingly, as he. is law-abding,
and wants the law to protect his life
and property in recompense for the
contribution thus laid upon him. He
contributes his share to the main
tenance of good highways, realizing
that they are life sustaining arteries of
agriculture, and without them there
can be no progress or advancement in
leading lines. He does not hide his
light under a bushel, but is ever striv-
ing for the enlightenment of his neigh
Dor as we'll as his own material adj
vancement, and when visiting a neigh
Dor, as he always finds time to do, he

is talking on some topic that will in
Struct the one or the other. He
strives either to gain or impart useful
information. He uphOlds all good
and frOwns down upon or denOunces
all bad. Where any question of right
.or any principle of morality presents
itself he readily and very naturally
places himself Oh the side where the
best impulses of his nature are inclined
to lead and where he will have satisfac-
ton of enjoying a clear conscience. He
believes there is a great deal to learn
that he doesn't know, and is ever will
ing to allow others the same liberty
and range in political, religious and
moral subjects that he asks for him
self.
Above all he is industrious and does
not think that money is the only aim in
life He labOrs faithfully for the bet
terment of his surroundings and the
accumulation of money as a means OF
enlarging his ability and scope for use
fulness and the betterment of those de-
pendent upon him. In short the good
farmer is a broadgauged man in every
way, never STOPPING to little things or
allowing petty jealOusies or little mis-
understandings to swerve him from
the even tenor of his way. TO be
called a broadgauged farmer, it seems
to us is about the highest compliment
that could be paid a tiller Of the soil
and more of us should strive to be SO
recognized in the circle of our ac-
uaintances.-Farmer's Guide.

anything at all. l asked him how he

because | know it won't, and that is
ALL | told him it had made this seed

[ cot the oats off the land. About the
1st of June | had the oats moved, and
tried to bale them; but a constant
dOWnDOur of rain for about three
weeks caused me to almost lose them;

acres of the StubDle in the June corn

1t grew rapidly, and in about two
weeks l plOWed it with a cultivatOr.
After this we had no rain; still the

Our Change of Crops.

Experience speaks louder than
words, and the farmers of the South
are now pOndering on the question of
practical adaptation to changed condi-
tons. 1t is plain that the stress of
competition has now come to stay
among us, and the fact should be ac-
cepted as one of the inevitable cOncOm-
itants of that entrance into the field OF
natural and international enterprise
for which the warnings Of all our
statesmen should have prepared us.
Are we prepared? If so, we shall not
need to talk longer, but will act as we
enter upon a new century.
The old method of cultivating and
marketing cotton will not pay the
grower. Intensive farming and home
manufactures must go together, if we
are to remain the great cotton region
of the world. To us in Florida that
much is plain, but is the solution of
our own problem equally easy?
In 1875 the old settlers of Florida
warned the newcomers that the frost
might come for another series Of years,
and that it was unWiSe to turn all our
eggs into oranges. But to those newly
come from a colder climate the voice
seemed to be only that of the pessi-
mist and gradually the confidence of
the newcomers was absorbed by those
who would have known better had
they been left to themselves. Stronger
than logic comes now that lesson
which, at least for some years, will
forbid large investments of labor and
capital in groves, except i'll South
do 111f
spair or reason for gloom, Florida is
yet abundantly rich, and can care for
all her children, but they are expected
to do their duty as well. Let us heed
the lesson we preach to the cotton
tots," and leave oranges to- their legltl-
mate place as a side crop.
Louisiana must cut down her cane IN
October; ours can stand till Febru-
ary. We have lands as we'll suited to
it's growth and all other attendant cir
cumstances equally favorable. We
should become a great sugar state.
In our cassava we have plant of
easy and inexpensive cultivation, as
superior to all others for the manutac-
ture of starch as cane is superior to
beets. Here is a field of which we
have practical monopoly by the grace
of nature itself, and we should cult
vate it during the time we now con-
sumo in railing at other mOnopOlies.
We have valuable textile plants that
literally run riot through our woods,
and natural meadows that would make
Germany or Holland rich. Why can
we not grow rich on them too? Frost
cannot injure them, nor glut make
them afraid we love the Philippines,
but we should object to their monopoly
of a field in which we have a good
grant by immemOrial prescription.
Capital will insist on coming to Florl-
da, because the land is so fair 1T cannot
keep away; show it how to work and
let it labor for our profit too.
What more can we wish? Our hsh-
cries and mines are almost entirely
neglected, and there are yet other
directions in which we may labor With
every confidence of reward, some fifty
and some a hundred fold. At least let
us be up and doing with a heart for
any fate; he is less than man who

Cheap Nitrogen for Fertilizing.
or the Florida Agriculturist.

For the Florida Agriculturist.
Perfect fertilizers contain three es-
sential elements Of fertility: nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash. All com
mercial fertilizers sold on the market
as perfect as perfect fertilizers ontain,
as perfect fertilizers contain, or should
contain, all three of said elements.
The most Of crops, such as corn,
wheat, cotton, etc, require a perfect
fertilizer. But there are other crops,
known as the legume family, such as
clover, cOWpeas, beans, vetcheS, etc,
that draw the needed nitrogen from
the air and consequently do not need
a direct application of nitrogen to the
soil Hence, if plants of said family be
properly supplied with phosphoric
acid and potash, very rank growth
can be produced.
| will state here that phosphOric acid
is usually supplied by acid phosphate,
known to the farmers as "acid," that
Kainit, muriate or sulphate of potash
supplies the potash, and that nitrate of
soda (Chili saltpetre) is the most con-
venient form for nitrogen. Kainit con-
tains about twelve per cent. Of potash
and about thirty three per cent. of
chlorine common salD, which is of
value in retaining mOisture
Muriate and sulphate of potash con-
tain each about fifty per cent. of pot
ash and can be proftably employed in
lieu of Kainit, where freight is an OBJ
ject.
Now if heavy crop of clover or
cOwpeas be turned under at maturity,
a bountiful supply of nitrogen will be
returned to the soil, and any crop re-
quiring a perfect fertilizer, such as
corn, wheat, etc, will thrive we'll after
them without the application of any
nitrogen whatever, to the soil. In this
case the nitrogen, which costs about
three times as much as either of the
other two elements, will be virtually
grown.
Proof that Nitrogen can be Virtually
GrOwn-"The day will cOme-if it is
not already here-when no farmer can
afford to buy nitrogen as a fertilizer.
He must raise it as he does other crops,

legumes. Norman Robinson, in the

chemist of Florida.
