cent, of orchard fruits Is per cent, of

of hay and forage IL per cent, of Irish
potatoes IL per cent, and of oats Z per
cent 1t is we'll known that the South
has never regained its relative position
as a livestock grower held by it in
1860. 1t does not make enough meat to
feed itself. When it is remembered that
a great portion of it's fruits and miscel-
laneous vegetables are raised for ship
ment to Northern and Western markets
it becomes apparent, in view of the per-
centage mentioned, that the South is
not raising it's due proportion of ordinary
foodstuffs 1t has been demonstrated
that the South can raise, in addition
to it's staples, practically every crop
grown in other parts of the country. The
campaign for diversification conducted
by the Agricultural Department ought to
hasten the time when the ability shall be
manifested fully.

Farm Notes,
WORK FOR THE MONTH.

The higher range of values for all agri-
cultural products which has now con-
tinued for more than two years still hold
good indeed, in respect to some of these,
prices have still further advanced dur
ing the year just closing, and this sat-
isfactory condition of affairs for the
farmer will, we think, be not likely to
soon come to an end, certainly not so
long as labor continues to be so we'll
employed as at present. The consump-
ton of all the staple products of the
farm, and of most of the luxuries, some
OF which, like tobacco, we produce large
" in the South, is enormous, and 1t
would require an immense over produc-
ton of these to seriously affect market
values whilst business continues good
Whilst we have had large wheat and out
crops, and IN immense corn crop, yet
these and especially corn, came at
time when there was no large surplus
held over from previous years; indeed.
in the case of corn, when there was an
immense deficit caused by the failure of
the crop a year ago. The supplies OF
fat stock of all kinds are short, and are
likely to continue so for years, as the
the West-was compelled year ago to
sacrifice il half fat or store condition,
immense numbers of animals which
should have been held over for this and
next year.
Until the deficit thus caused is made
good, which will be slow process whilst
consumption continues so large as dur
ing the past year, prices must remain
good When prices are high, the temp
tation to sell stock which should be
held over either for breeders or for bet
ter finishing is too great to be resisted,
and hence the progress of recuperation
of stocks is a slow one. Dairy products
have advanced in price since the unfair
competition of oleomargerine has been
destroyed or largely curtailed, and this
advance is likely to hold and make furth-
er progress. With such prospect be-
fore them, we see no reason why farmers
should not prepare to make large crops

Whenever the land is dry enough to
haul on, get out farm-yard manure and
top dress wheat, oats or grass land, or
apply it on the land newly plowed and
which is to be put in crop in the spring.
The mineral fertilizers acid phos phate
and potash may be applied along with
the manure on the plowed land without
fear of loss, and then the whole can be
worked in together later in the spring
and thus much time be saved. Farm
yard manure is much better on the land
than teaching away in the farm yard and
pens.

AS long as there is intelligent and
aspiring youth in this country everything
said of this man will have interest, for
he was an extraordinary character, and,
as is true of Patrick Henry, his fame as
an orator rests mostly on tradition. In
his walk he was much like Poe in the
realm of letters and Stonewall Jackson
on the field of Mars. He was meteor
on the sky of public life-a man of
genius. and a man Of magnetism. He
was something after the mold of Lord
Byron, and like Roscoe Conkling, was
passionately fond of Byron's poetry. No
one can read the history and the tradi-
tion relating to the man without agree
ing that genius is to madness near akin.
Seargent S. Prentiss was born on the
coast of Maine in the town that, thirty
one years later, was to be the birthplace
of Thomas B. Reed, who was also the son
OF seafaring man. The elder Prentiss,
kinsman of John Hancock who wrote
his name in such conspicuous place and
in character so indelible, commanded a
vessel in the merchant service, and had
escaped many a danger that comes to
them who go down to the sea in ships.
He had been shipwrecked and chased by
pirates, and boarded by British men-of-
war. Doubtless his stories of his VEN
turous life the sea early excited the
exuberant imagination of his gifted son
and stimulated the poetry of his nature
The father died when Seargent was yet
a youth.
The family had slender resources, but
every one had faith in the extraordinary
qualities of young Seargent, and, by the
practice of rigid and self-denying econ
omy, he took the course at Bowdoin and
was graduated at the age of eighteen. He
studied law at Portland, but soon went
West and settled at Cincinnati, where he
continued to pursue his legal studies.

Clean up land intended to be cropped
which has laid untitled for years What
ever is done in this way let it be done
thoroughly. eGt out all stumps and haul
off all rocks. Left on the land they only
serve to harbor weeds, briers, insects
and fungoid diseases, and are a constant
hindrance to good cultivation. Use the
rocks to repair the roads. Let all fences
be repaired and make them straight. An
old worm fence which is insufficient to
turn stock, will often supply rails suf-
ficient to make a new straight fence ca
pable of turning any stock. Set posts
the length of the rails apart and fasten
four or five rails to these posts, holding
them in place by running a piece of plain
fence wire from the bottom to the top of
the post on one side. Fasten the wire to
the post with staples, making loops to
hold the rails in the proper places

Prentiss was child of New England
VINO had gone among a high spirited and
reckless population on the confines of
civilization. fascinated them by his elo-
Quence, and captivated them by his cour-
age. He had carved his name high-he
had succeeded. He was but thirty wears
of age, and the spoiled child of his party
and the spoiled child of his section. He
was the champion of the political senti
ment that had long maintained in Mas
sachusetts, and he was the victim of
Democratic injustice 1t is small wonder
that Boston wanted to hear this orator
speak from the platform that Rufus
Choate and Fisher Ames had held.
The speech indicated all expectation.
and it is ample praise of it to say that
during its delivery Edward Everett asked
Daniel Webster if he had ever heard it
