 Chickens growing twice or more between first dark and midnight.
 Pea-fowls hollering a great deal
 Lghtning-bugs flying high al night.
 Snake tracks across the roads Rain-crows, hollering
 Tree frogs, croakirE.
 Red sunrise and grey sun set Flying clouds from south to north. in early morning.
 Moon passing the big star Heavy dews of a morning
 No dews at all.

The Mobile Register is urging Southern members of congress to demand the repeal of the Chinese exclusion act. The Register ar gues that this would enable the South to supply itself with an un- limited number of coolies as labor CTS, house servants, etc. The Chattanooga Times objects to the proposition and gives good reas- ons therefor. 1t is impracticable. wholly SO, 1t says. If if 1t were possible to be realized and were put in practice the South would get only harm, possibly ruin, out of 1t. We want no three-sided race issue. Two are plenty, in fact, one too many. With a mil lion or so of the most degraded Chinese-and we would get no other kind-in the Southern states, there would be constant friction between them and the negroes. Peace would be an entire stranger to every community where there were considerable numbers of the two races employed. In short, the disorders that spring from racial hostilities would be many times multiplied On no account is it to be desired that the government will permit such a thing to be done; therefore it is hardly worth discussing "-Gazette.

AVERAGE FARMING.

There Is q big difference be- tween farming as II is doue and farming as II might be done. Re liable statistics prove beyond a doubt that farming generally Is not profitable. Nearly all farm CTS make a living. or rather manage to exist from the pro- eeeds of the farm; but to do no better than this Is failure, for people. who labor as persistent Y as farmers do should be better paid They should make al least a much clear profit as a carpen- ter or bricklayer who works eight hours per day. Reports of the department of agriculture and of the census bureau, giving the average yield Of the various farm products show that aver age farming does not pay, and
 that a large majority of farmers belong the average class. Farm CTS who contribute to the lower ing Of the general average yields are probably farmers from ne cessity, not being able to make a living at any other business. for II is a fact that farming Is the occupation in which a bare living may be most surely made
 Any man who has enough na- tive mental ability to avoid sit ting down on a hot stove can blow a furrow. plant the seeds and kill the weeds. and thus make an average" crop, or something near |. and thus be enabled 10 exist from year to year. As an illustration Of ..le facts herein stated. about TO pounds lint cotton per acre Is the average yield oi the great staple, and as many farmers make twice or three times as
 much, II follows that < majority of farmers make less than the average Similar reasoning will apply to each crop separtely and
