LIGHTS IN LITERATURE.

The first volume of the unpublished
writings of the late Theodore Mommsen
has been prepared for publication by
Prof Otto Hersenheld the literary ex-
ecutor of the deceased historian.
Rider Iaggard Is best known In
America as a writer of startling roman
ces, but in his own country he is recos-
nized as an earnest student of the great
problem Of the poor. For years the au-
thor has been laboring for the Develop
ment of the agricultural side of English
life as means Of relieving the congest-
ed conditions of large cities.
Anthony Hope, the British novelist
and playwright, was educated for tho
law, but says himself in his droll way
that he failed to make living at his
profession and had to turn TO writing in
selfdefense. He declares that in all his
life of AZ years there has not come one
incident that is worth telling-he has
just lived the average life of an Eng
lish gentleman"
II will probably seem strange to some
that John Hay in his later life was in
cllned to be rather ashamed of Little
Breeches' and Jim Bludso," the two Of
his poems that have always been the
most widely quoted Similarly James
Russell Lowell was rather ashamed in
his declining years of the "Bigelow Pa
pcrs, which many regard as his most
original and effective work, and Minis
ter Phelps never liked to be quoted az
the author of that immortal poem about
Essex Junction.
William Dean Howells has some en-
couraging words to say to young as
prants for literary honors. There is
room for a good story Of any kind" he
said, recently. although an editor
governs his judgment by what his read
ers have liked before, often rejecting
something they would like much better.
no good thing in a story ever remains
unpublished. Some one will read 1t, feel,
Its truth and print II If II Is true" But
he goes on with a word of advice. Il do
not believe anyone can write a novel,
with rare exceptions, until he has lived
at least 35 years In experience of ths
world"

The danger is that ten cent cotton
will drive farmers away from their
purpose to improve their farms. There
is no possible chance of improving
lands planting hoed crops year after
year The soil needs humus or vege
table matter, and it can be supplied in
proper quantities only by sowing small
grain In the Piedmont section of the
Carolnas the three-year system OF ro-
tation is the best one. Take the two
horse farm as an example. There
should be about sixty acres of arabic
land Plant one-third of that in corn,
with peas between the hills, or sown
broadcast at laying-by time. Follow
with wheat or oats and them soy peas
after the small grain is harvested. The
third year it will be ready for cotton,
and then begin with corn again tho
fourth year. BY this system of rota-
ton and deepening the soil gradually
until it is ten inches deep, the land
will yield twice as much as under the
poyerty-producting system of planting
all cotton. If this Cotton Growers as
scciation can bring our farmers round
to rotation Of crops, deep preparation
and raising all necessary supplies on
the farm. the wealth of the farmers
will be largely increased.-Chas. Petty,

"The Simple Life

The pruning of young apple tree
should be largely in the nature of
pinching back and training. The first
five or six years of its growth in the
orchard Is essentially the formative
period of the tree and there will be but
little pruning required later If the work
Is properly attended to during this
period "As the twig Is bent, so the
tree is inclined" In pruning a young
tree one should select certain branches
which are to remain as sort of plat
form or skeleton-work upon which the
future top is to be built. Three of four
such branches are ample to reserve
when the tree Is set out and they
should be as well distributed around
the stem as possible in order to prop
erly distribute the future load of fruit.
CrotChes in the main stem should be
avoided by not permitting secondary
shoots to get the lead All branches
should radiate from the center, out
ward. A branch which is growing in
ward Is sure to give trouble later. All
branches which chafe or interfere by
rubbing should be cut out Briefly, this
comprises our idea as to the essential
requirements in the pruning of young
apple tree. 1t Is not necessary to cut
the growing branches back annually,
nor can all of the work be done at any
one time. 1t is best done by care
full trip through the orchard two or
three times during the active growing
season. 1t is a question of watching
the growth with certain ideals in mind
and the correction of young shoot
here and there to make It conform to
the future plan of top.-Arkansas

DIVERSITY IN GEORGIA.
PRS, There IN TOO Much Idle
Land in Some sections.

One can not help being struck with
wide difference in the thrifty appear
ance of many sections in Georgia, often
not very far apart. On the twentieth
of June, we went down to Thomaston,
and while we know there are many
good farmers in Upson county; yet for
several miles out from Thomaston, SO
much land is lying out for want of
hands, and so much is allowed to wash
into wide and deep red gullies, and the
dry weather together with the poorly
cultivated crops was simply depress-
ing TO us. They need a thousand
good, industrious white farmers to
move into this section to take the
place of the negroes who have gone to
the "cties and public works as they
call it; and to reclaim this naturally
fertile land, Men who will plow deep
terrace well, and SOW grain 1t would
make fine stock section. Bermuda
and other grasses would do their very
best. In the evening we spent two
hours in GAINESVILLE, and went out to
see the fine peach orchard of Messrs.
Stafford and Howard. They have five
hundred acres in peaches and they are
well cultivated and certainly present
fine appearance. The orchard, the fine
bottom in corn, the elegant country
home, the large barn, the Jersey cows
and Berkshire hogs, all made such an
interesting scene, that my spirits rose
to the point of enthusiasm, and | re-
turned home thinking old Georgia was
grand old state. and her agricultural
resources in safe hands Mr.. S. w.
Howard is model farmer he carried
Georgia" as he termed it, the kind that
lasts all the year, and you feed it on the
ear, not shelled like our imported va
reties He had a large crib packed
full that on opening the door two fine
ears rolled out, which we put in our
pocket and brought home with us. A
farmer that can sell peaches by the car
load, and have plenty of corn in the
ear, he is mot only rich but well to
do" as our friend used to say The
peach industry is doing much for the
section around Barnesville and will do
much more. But to show how deeply
ingrained into our farmers it is to give
cotton the preference over everything
else, we have but to cite an instance
we saw, where farmer was plowing
around his young peach trees which
were yellow and stunted for want Of
work, while the cotton in between the
trees showed conclusiyely it had re-
cclved first attention. Southern Guilt
