THE EX POSH lON.
“Planters and Farmers” week brought
the largest attendance of visitors than
any similar period since opening day.
The weather proved exceptionally good,
and the streams upon all the Railroads
were full and constant through the week.
With an admirably arranged programme,
well executed, and by the efforts of the
exhibitors to please, the week waa a
great success in every respect. The atr>
tendance will now probably diminish
steadily until Christmas week, when it
■will again be overwhelming. No person
who has heretofore been prevented from
attending should be deterred from com
ing now, or through fear that the exhi
bition will wane in intrinsic merit. The
exhibitors will remain until the last day
of the three months originally appointed
and possibly the show may he prolonged.
The presence of a great crowd is really
a considerable hindrance to one who
wishes to examine the thousand objects
of interest on the grounds, and in the
building, with that deliberation and care
which is neces Ary to produce a feeling
of satisfaction and a consciousness of
benefit received.
It is impossible to resist the conviction
that the results of this great Exposition
will be of untold value to theSouth. The
great variety of agricultural implements
and machinery on the grounds, the im
proved varieties of seeds and plants —all
illustrated by their products—the valu
able essays and addresses, caunot fail to
stimulate the energy of the farmers in
attendance to renewed and more intelli
gent efforts in the future. The introduc
tion in our section of even one valuable
machine, or implement, or method, may,
in a few years add millions of dollars to
our aggregate production I
We have said nothing of the influence
of the Exposition on the manufacturing,
and railroad employes of the South. The
beneficial results in this direction will
probably be more immediate and perhaps
greater than in the agricultural field.
The Exposition is not simply a big show
to amuse the visitor for a few days. It
is a school in which all msy learn from
the least to the greatest, the already wise
as well as the simple.
NITROGEN AS MANURE.
The question whether organic nitro
gen, as it occurs hi dried blood, flesh and
k other forms of anuimal matter, furnish-
A es food to plants, is being again revied
and discussed with renewed vigor in
northernagricultnral j mrnals. It would
seem that the question might be easily
decided by direct experiment in the field.
Such experiments have, indeed, been
instructed, but with results as dive.-se as
the preconceived opinions of their pro
jectors. The more moderate objectors
to the high value that has been gener
ally assigned to nitrogen in .fertilizers
admit that ammoniated fertilizers do
yield apparently good results —increasing
the size of stalks and straw of plants
but they insist that the effect is the re
sults of a stimulating action of the de
composition of the nitrogenous material
in the soil. They deny that the nitrogen
of the manure enters directly or indis
rectly into the organism of plants.
On the other hand it is insisted that
plants do not assimilatenitrogen through
their leaves form the atmosphere,
but must absorb it through their
routs from the soil, or the air in the
soil. We know that all plants contain
nitrogen. We know further that free
nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere,
and at the same time very scarce in
most soil. It is another well attested
fact that those soils which are shown by T
analysis to contain a larger relative pro
portion of nitrogen (in the f orm of vege
table matter) are more productive than
others. Further, we think, that the
weight of testimony is decidedly in favor
of the view that nitrogenous manures do
exert a favorable action upon growing
plants. These questions are for the
agricultural chemists to decide. Mean
while the farmer will continue to pur
chase those fertilizers which give him
the best results regradless of the mere
opinions of chemists.
USELESS ANIMALS.
During the fall and winter the thought
ful and calculating farmer will wisely
determine what individuals among his
flocks and herds have ceased to be profit
able forbreeding and working purposes
and put an end to their existence by
converting them into lood or manure. A
cow or hog should by no means be kept
for dairy or breeding purposes until past
the age at which they may be readily
fattened and converted into beef or pork.
Whenever a cow begins to fail, from age,
as a milker she should be promtly fat
tened and butchered.
What shall we say of horses and mules?
The New England Farmer, published in
the land of steady habits, and advanced
(?) moral ideas and practices, says: “If
the old horse is not worth wintering, lay
him kindly aside. Os course you will
not eat him as you do your hogs, for
horse eating is one of the Paris fashions
that has not yet been introduced here;
but if you will freeze the meat and keep
it sound for your poultry during the
winter, you wilt have no difficulty in
finding customers who will be glad to
buy it in the form of fresh-laid eggs.
The bones too, if burned and pounded,
or better pounded without burning, if
you can get them flue enough, will be
quite as acceptable to the hens as meat,
and will add to the value of the manure,
besides helping to makegood shells for
the egg 4.” (
We confess to a feehug akin to horror
at the idea of killing an old and faithful
horse, but after all, it is less unkind to
promptly end his life than to turn him
out to starve, or, for a few dollars, to turn
him over to some negro brute, to execute
ju Igment by over work, neglect and
other abuse. ,
This suggests the question of the
moral relations of man m ttie brute cre
ation and especially to domes, ic animals.
Does the Bible impose upon man any
obligations towards lower animals? Will
Dr. Tucker give the readers of The In
dex his views on the general question ?

7?FE/15.4 WINTER GRASS.
There is, perhaps, none —among wild
or cultivated plants—equal to rye as a
winter grass, in the South. Rye will
grow and thrive on very ordinary soils,
and is especially adapted to those of a
light or sandy character. Cold does not
kill it and it ceases to grow only in the
very severest weather. Stock of all kinds
are fond of it. In this, respect, however,
it is inferior to barley, which is thought
to be more nutritious and not injurious
to young pigs as rye is. But barley re
quires a very rich soil to produce a satis
factory growth. Another advantage that
rye possesses is, that it is an improver
of land. Sow in the fall on sandy land
and turn under in the spring. 'Hie
benefit to the land is very apparent in
the growth of following crops: The
best way to use rye as green food for
stock, is to sow it very thickly on well
prepared and rich soil, early in the fall,
and cut it as soon and as often as it gets
high enough to cut. An acre of rye
sown in this manner will supply five or
six head of mules and horses with as
much green food as they will eat for two
months or more.
Why wear plasters ? They may relieve,
but they can’t cure that lame back, for the
kidneys are the trouble, and you want a
remedy to act directly on their secretions, to
purify and restore their healthy condition.
Kidney Wort has that specific action —and
at the same time it regulates the bowels per
fectly. Don’t wait to get sick, but get a
package to day and cuie yourself. Liquid

Telegraph.
IMPROVEMENT OF POOR LANDS.
Improvement of farming lands, the
labor question, and the question of stock
raising cover, I think, the three great
and leading questions in successful agri
culture. I think the poorest land may
be made rich in ten years by deep plow
ing of peas and oats, provided it is first
thoroughly drained, so as there shall
not lie one drop of water rising upward
out of the earth to mix with the soluble
particles of decayed vegetable matter
and other valuable but invisible proper
ties that are in all a dis and on its surface,
for as soon as all soils are thus drained
and deeply plowed,they become filterers,
letting downward all the water from the
heaviest falls of rain and from the snows,
frosts, dews and fogs; each of which
contain a vast amount of vegetable prop
erties, prepared in the laboratory of God
Almigh y (the clouds), and brought
down again to the earth to perpetuate
fertility for man’s good. These valuable
properties alluded to are the gas s which
escaped from decayed vegetable and
animal matter that are lighter than the
atmosphere near the earth’s surface,and
are ever rising upward (though imper
ceptible in most instances) until caught
and garnered in the clouds and poured
out again on rich and poor alike all over
this world by our Father in H -aven.
Aga n, this world or globe of ours is 24,-
000 miles in circumference; it revolves
(or turns over) once in every twenty
four hours; therefore, the surface of this
globe is moving with the speed of one
thousand miles per hour, and more than
sixteen miles per minute. Think of it;
think of its revolving lightning speed,
and think of what a mightv centrifugal
force is brought about to throw all the
hidden and valuable fertilizing gases
from the bowels of the earth to the sur
face, there to meet and mingle with the
ga»ses there present to perpetuate the fer
tility of the earth for man’s good and the
glory of God. Plowing deeply,therefore,
unlocks and lets up ward a greater amount
ot these hidden gases than shallow
scratching; and the combination of gases
from above and beneath the surface of
the earth is of itself, when kept there
by a deep tilth, an improver, which, with
pea fallow and oats, is certain to im
prove and make rich any soil. Very
deep plowing, in lieu of shallow, should
never be done immediately before plant
ing in the spring of the year for the rea
son, that all of the earth brought up from
beneath former plowings is sterile, dead,
and must have time for the elements of
heats and cold, rain and snow, etc., to
act on it to give it life. Subsoiling will
obviate this difficultv, but I prefer deep
and thorough (thatched) plowing in win
te , fall and s >ring months —if there is
any soil—before planting. Reverse
these natural laws to which I have al
luded of bringing the gases from above
and beneath, in order that no particle
of matter may be lost and for the perpet
uity of the fertility of the earth, and let
all in the earth descend (were it possible)
-and above all the earth’s surface go up
ward forever, this world would be at
once a barren waste, and not even a
sparrow could find a meal or seed to
feed on; but in the goodness of God to
man, and in His infinite wisdom, He has
made these laws to co-w r < together to
perpetuate the fertility of this globe for
man’s good and for His own glory.
The e crude ideas, as I give them out,
are the deductions of my own experience
and observations, and not those of other
men. They are so plainly visible to me,
that I wonder that every man does not
see them as plainly as he can see the
noonday sun with a cloudless sky. They
accord with natural law,and whether be
lieved or rejected by my brother farmers,
like the blind man whose eyes were
opened by Divine power, shall believe
them, preach them and practice them
just as long as they enable me in the
future to do what they have d.me in the
past—make one hundred blades grow
where one grew before.—Geonje IFyaff
in .Richmond Planter and Farmer.
The age of miracles is past, and Dr- Pierce’s

the dead, will not cure you if your lungs are
almost wasted by consumption. It is, bow
ever, unsurpassed both as a pectoral and
alterative, and will cure obstinate and severe
diseases of the throat and lungs, coughs, a d
bronchial aff-ctions. By virtue of its wons
de’tul alterative properties, it cleanses and
enriches the blood, cures pimples, blotches,

WASHER
WASHING WITHOUT LABOR!
A WONDERFUL INVENTION I
In IR7I, Mr. H. R. Robbins, of Baltimore, Invented
and patented the now famous RobbiiiN’ Family
Whnlivi* and Bleacher.
It waa the original, and an now improved, is the beat
and only perfect aelf-operating Washer in the world.
It will do all the family washing in less than half
the time in which it can lie done in any other way,
without hand labor, with but very little soap, without
chemicals and without any wear and tear or yellow
ing of clothes.
More than fifty thousand of these Washers are now
in use, giving perfect, satisfaction. We have thou
sauds or testimonials from all parts of the country—
from Public Institutions, Hotels, Clergymen. Law
yers, Farmers, Editors ami every class of people, and
we have the Editorial Commendations of all the prin
cipal papers in the land.
In 1878 The Bissell Manufacturing Company pur
chased the patent for the Washer and after two years
careful experimenting succeeded in simplifying the
Washer, and in adapting it to use in any size and style i
of boiler as also in the old fashioned iron wash-pot so
much used in the south (in which the original Rob- I
bins’ Washer would not work) and obtained a reissue
of their patent on the 21st day of December. 188(1 i
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WASHER. 1
The Deration of the Washer consists in rapidly
and continuously forcing the hot soap suds con- J
tained in the boiler from the bottom to the surface,
through a tub at the rate of ten gallons per minute

ADVE RTISEMENTS.
I und then drawing it down again I hrough the
soiled clothing, while that is expanded by the
boiling heat causing it to remove every particle
<»f dirt and leaving the articles after rinsing thor
oughly cleaned and bleached. It is impossible for
it to tear or wear, or in any way injure the fabric, as
there is no friction whatever. ,
I HOW DOES THE WASHER WORK?
• The Washer having Im>vii placed in the bottom of
, the tsviler or pot, as soon as the water commences to
boil all that which is beneath it. boiug surrounded
with heated metal becomes hotter and moreexnnnaive
than that in the remainder of the boiler.and tints has
a tendency to rise through the tube, while at the same
time all the steam formed beneath the Washer is
forced to pass out through the tulie, and carries
along with it the water in the washer and tube with
great force, its place tveing supplied by the water
outside, which is rapidly drawn into tin* washer and
in turn heated and expelled, thua creating a constant
and powerful current upward through the tube and
downward through the fabric. giving a water
force which cannot lie obtained in any other way.
The fabric l>eing expanded to its utmost by the boil
ing water, the dirt, softened by the action of the soap,
is at once swept aw ay by the force of the flow.
Thus we have, Ist. The greatest possible heat 2d.
Perfect chemical action of the soap, and 3d. Force of
water. All of which are necessary to thoroughly
cleanse and purify any fabric.
Whin Im it that clennnen the clothing in the
ordinary modes ot washing by rubbing, pounding,
squeezing, drawing between rollers, etc 1 It is the
tilling of the fabrics with soap suds as hot as may l»e
( boiling heat taing unattainable especially in hand
rubbing) and then forcing it out again,and repeat
iug the process until the clothes are clean. But all of
these prooessesreqaire Im nd labor. You must turn
or i uni nd, or squeeze or rub; there is little choice Imj
tween them, while with the ROBBINS’ WASH
ER the labor Im diMpeuned with, and any
other work of the house may be done while the
washing is doing itself*.
THE CAPACITY OF THE WASHER.
There are two sizes, the No. I or family size, which
works in any family boiler or wash-pot having a bot
tom B'y by 8 inches or larger, and holding 10 to 15 gal
lons of water. It takes only 3or 4 ounces of soap to 10
or 12 gallons of water, will wash bed or table linen, a
boiler full in lo or 15 minutes, wearing apparel in from
20 to 30 minutes, without rubbing, and requires no
previous preparation of the clothes, such as soaking
overnight. Lake the clothes dry, and when the Wash
er gets thoroughly at uerk, till the boiler us full as it
will hold by gently pressing them down with a stick,
t'se no chemicals, only good soap ami soft water. If
the water is hard it may be softened by a small
piece of borax, which is harmless.
For Lace CurtuiUM this Washer is in valuable.
It cleanses them as no other process can,and without
the slightest danger of injury.
No. 2, or small hotel size, will do the work in a boiler
holding 15 to 25 gallons, und wash, of average pieces,
from 1,500 to 2,000 per day ; or it may be used in any
smaller boiler. They will work m anything that has
a bottom large enough for them to rust upon: say ten
inches in diameter.
W'e also make a Washer 5x8)6 inches, suitable for
use in sunken bottom bo.lers, having the same cap
acity as our No. 1, and sold at same price.
