Destructive Influences.
The chief obstacles to cultivated crops
may be regarded as four iu number —
drought, flood, insects and weeds. One or
the other, or all combined, are a standing
menace to the success of the cultivator, and
provision for circumventing or warding off
their ill effects must be duly made at
the outset of his annual farm operations.
If crops were not curtailed immensely every
year by these influences, the farmers of the
United States would hardly have barn
room sufficient to hold their crops, and the
supply of farm labor would De al
together inadequate to the task of harvest
ing the vast yields of corn, wheat, cotton,
bay, potatoes, etc., etc., that are grown on
the millions of acres devoted to these crops.
It is estimated that the curtailment of
crops arising from the depredations of in
sects alone amounts to 15,000,000 or $6,000,-
000 annually in the United States. This
amount, supplemented by the loss of valua
ble crops as the result of flood and drought
and weeds, would probably be doubled or
bring the aggregate up to the tremendous
sum of $1,000,000,000, an amount equal in
value to tne combined crops of corn and
wheat actually produced in this country.
That amount does not represent the real
loss, however, to the producer; for that vast
addition to the already superabundant sup
ply would have had the effect of reducing
prices of the various products of the coun
try to such a low figure that their aggre
gate value would not have been greater
perhaps than the value of the reduced
product.
The consumer, not engaged in farming,
would have been benefltted by the greater
product, but it would have been disastrous
rather than advantageous to tbe producer.
It only goes to show that where a great
loss is divided up among a very largo num
ber of persons the individual loss is inap
preciable and may be only slightly percepti
ble. It is only when one or more of these
causes operate to the marked disadvantage
of localities at certain times are we brought
to understand how disastrous these in
fluences may be. From one cause or an
other the loss to every individual farmer is
something every year. In some instances a
combination of these influences work a
complete failure, iu others partial failures,
but, as a rule, the farmer submits to the
losses so caused, and still comes out ahead on
the years’ work and fails to recognize the
reduction In yield brought about by either
of these causes.
Insects do a vast amount of damage
every year, much of which is unnoticed by
the larger number of those who till the soil.
The loss from the periodical visitations of
the cotton worm is small compared to that
occasioned by the steady injury wrought by
tbe corn and wire wcrm, the cut and bud
worm, the various nematodes, the numer
ous insects that are common to the various
garden vegetables, and those that devastate
the orchard and vineyard. The boll worm,
with his steady but almost unnoticed work,
reduces the yield of cotton far more in uny
stated period than does the cotton worm,
with all the fuss that is made over bis
periodical ravages that appear far more de
structive than they really are. It is the silent,
steady-working forces of nature that are
to a great extent, unobserved by the aver
age worker that is doing the damage.
And so it is with regard to weeds, the ex
istence of which in our fields and gardens,
and orchards, and meadows and pastures
steadily reduces the yield -of our valuable
crops. In the gardens and fields we circum
vent them with hcjp and plow, but in the
orchards, meadows and pastures they are
allowed to accomplish an amount of in
jury that, while very great, cannot well be
estimated.
Of the thousands of efforts that have
been made in the south to establish the cul
tivated grasses and clovers almost as many
thousands of failure to succeed have been the
result of the overriding influence of native
weeds that needed no nursing to enable
them to speedily supplant the tenderer and
more valuable crop. Look at the Bermuda
and other pastures in every section of the
state that are overrun with the cockle-bur,
the “Jimson” and the coffee weeds, the
Maypop and dog fennel, the horse nettle
and thistle and a number of other noxious
weeds that might be named. But for their
presence in the meadows and pastures the
product of had or pasturage would be
doubled or trebled. How little attention is
given to the clearing of our meadows and
pastures of this noxious growth! Year
after year It is allowed to grow up and
make seed until the soil has become so
fouled with its presence that it will take
years to overcome it These useless weeds
cut off the valuable product every year one
half or more.
W hile we may not ward off the threat
ened damage from flood or in every in
stance that from drought we can more
readily mitigate the damage resulting from
weeds and, to a great extent, prevent the
injurious effects of many insects.
Every year the problem of crop protec
tion becomes a more serious one for the
consideration of the cultivator. Another
destructive influence is to be found in the
lungus diseases that infest so many of our
plants, especially the fruits. It has been
well said that the whole population of the
world is at all times within ten months of
starvation. The combined effect of the
several influences mentioned, if experienced
any one year over the larger part of the
earth would produce want and famine in a
very little while.
Every year it becomes more Important
for the cultivators of the soil to work upon
the most intelligent plan possible.
The “margin” in farming nowadays is
about as small as it is in any department of
trade and commerce, and every means must
be adopted for reducing these various de
structive influences to the very smallest de
gree possible. Some we can contend with
successfully, and with some we cannot.

Burr Clover.
The southern dairyman is blessed with
the possession of one plant especially that
is adapted in the highest degree to supply
him with the essential green food for his
milch cows during winter and early spring.
That plant is burr clover, known also as
Californian clover, in which state it has
long been a popular forage plant. There
are few plants that are as well adapted to
southern use as it is. Sown early in August,
even on moderately fertile laud, it usually
produces a very luxuriant growth by Doc.
I, which can be either pastured in proper
weather or cut and fed to to the stock in
their stalls. The latter way is of course
more economical. The soil in winter and
early spring is generally too w et to allow of
much pasturing if proper regard is had for
the preservation of tbe soil and the crop.
It is poor economy to pasture any crop that
grows high enough to be cut. It is destruct
ive to the clover and also to the land to
allow stock to trample it when at all wet.
Burr clover is also a great renovator of
land, thought it is strickly a winter plant.
It matures and dies down when hot weather
occurs.
The Farmer’s Home.
The home surroundings of the average
farmer of to-day, are very different from
those of the farmer of fifty or seventy-five
years ago, says the Rural Home. Bare
walls are now covered with paper—bare
floors have given place to carpets. The
open fire place has given room for the
modern stove and range—handsome lamps
have taken the place of the tallow candle,
and it is no uncommon thing to see upon the
farmer’s table, handsome glass and silver
ware. There has been, of course, with all
these modern introductions a considerable
increase in the cost of living. Nice things
cost money and better food costs more than
that which is coarser. In view of all these
extra expenses, wo often hear
people exclaim. Oh, for the
good old days of our grandfathers!
But would these same people want to live
and have their home surroundings just as
they were in those davs? I hardly think
they would. Not but what the homes of
our grandfathers were happy homes, and
were surrounded with those things which
the progress and civilization of that day
demanded. I believe that the law of progress
is that it never goes backward and it is jußt
in accordance with this onward march that
the surroundings of the farmer’s home
have kept pace with all those other modern
improvements and inventions, which go to
make up an advanced civilization.
The farmer's family is better clothed and
fed than in the days of old—but some will
say this is an open question as to whether it
is better or worse for this very fact. The
farmer and his family are better educated
and better informed than in the days of
old. Newspapers and magazines are as com
mon in the farmer’s family of to-day as were
open fireplaces and strings of dried apples
in the days of our grandfathers. I think
there is no open question in regard to this
matter. The modern carpets, wall paper,
and other decorations in the farmer’s home
speak of a more refined and cultivated
taste than did the bare floors and walls of a
hundred years ago. It is true we may pos
sess no kinder hearts or kindlier natures
than did our ancestors, but cur surround
ings are certainly more pleasant and at
tractive, at least to us, than were theirs.
We live better, dress better, and of course
spend more money than they did, and in
this very fact, perhaps, lies one reason why
farmers complain so much about hard times,
and are often heard to say there is no money
in farming.
It is very generally true that our old
time farmers brought up large families,
paid their bills and generally managed to
lay by a little something for a rainy day.
While we farmers of to-day are struggling
along, and find it hard work to make “both
ends meet,” as the saying goes—and yet I
think that we of to-day are spending by far
the greater amount of money—and yet not
one of us would desire to be put back with
the surroundings of a hundred years ago,
even if we knew that our bank account
would increase largely as the years go by.
This shows us that the modern attractions
and improvements in the farmer’s home
life have come to have an irresistible influ
ence over him, and that they have come to
stay. lam not sorry that this is so. I be
lieve there is no better standard by which
to judge of the refinement and civilization
of a people, than their home life. It is
said that home is the dearest spot on earth,
and so it is, and should be.
Then let us do all we can to elevate itaDd
surround it with everything to make it
pleasant and attractive. While we farmers
cannot possess all the elegance and luxury
displayed in many of the homes of our city
millionaires, yet we can make our homes
pleasant and attractive.
The ladies in the farmer’s family will at
tend to the interior department, and let us
heartily encourage them in the thousand
and one things they know so well how to
do in the way of decorative arc and in
house furnishings. > And what is there for
us to do? Why, we can attend to outside
decorations and improvements that will
make the grounds about our dwellings more
pleasant and attractive. There is a quiet
satisfaction in having things look nice,
even though there be no money in it. And
so I say, if carpets make our rooms more
pleasant and enjoyable let us have them—
that is, if we can afford it If books,
newspapers and magazines are enjoyed
by the family, let’s have them, and if public
improvements will beautify and improve
the town in which we live, let us go in for
them, too. In a word let us keep up with
the age and civilization in which we are liv
ing.
Pea-Comb Barred Plymouth Bock
Fowls.
The Plymouth Rock, says the Agricultur
ist, is distinctly an American fowl. Its
evolution and development were wholly
accomplished by American fanciers. The
prominent position attained by the breed,
not only in this country but also in some
parts of Europe, bears witness to the skill
and intelligent enterprise of its originators.
But the original Plymouth Rock, as first
admitted to the standard, was not in every
respect an ideal fowl. The requirements as
to comb were: “Bright red, single, fine in
texture, rather small, perfectly upright,
and straight, with even and fine serrations,
and free from side sprigs.” Single combs
which come fully up to the standard ore
rare and difficult to obtain. Uneven serra
tions and a sidewise wobble are more com
monly found than perfection, and in vigor
ous, well-grown birds, there is a strong
tendency to excessive hight and coarseness.
Worst of all, in those parts of the world
where the winter temperature ever sinks
down to or below the zero mark, there is
great liability to frost-bite. The fowl
which goes into winter quarters with a
comb which will stand close judging is
more than likely to come out in spring
with it shorn of its beauty and symmetry
by. the icy fingers of the trost-kmg.
For reasons indicated, a rose-comb Ply
mouth Rock was for a long time the dream
of American fanciers. At length it came,
not by crossing with pea-combed breeds,
but spontaneously ns a “sport.” It has now
become a thoroughly well-established
breed, and has been admitted to the stand
ard of perfection. The requirements for
the pea-comb Plymouth Rock are, in all
respects, except the comb, the same as for
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 23, 1800.
single comb. For the latter feature, the
standard description is for cocks: “Pea,
small, firm, and even upon the head, bright
red.” For hens it is the same, except that
it is “very small and low.”
As remarked above, the breed is gener
ally ooncededto be a “sport,” though there
have been suspicious of a cross with light
Brahmas. But it is far more probable, in
the absence of any evidence to the con
trary, that the pea-comb is the result of
“atavism”—throwing back to some remote
Brahma fowl which contri cited to the for
mation of the orignal breed. H. S. Bab
cock of Rhode Island, a leading breeder of
the new variety, says of them:
“Tbe pea-comb Plymouth Rock is not a
Dominique colored Brahma, but is a stand
ard Plymouth Rock in ail its characteris
tics. It has the size, shape, color and quali
ties, not of the Brahma, but of the Plymouth
Rock. As an egg-producer it is the coming
fowl.”
Curative Power of Demons.
Lemonade made from the juice of the
lemon is one of the best and safest drinks
for any person, whether in health or not.
It is suitable for ail stomach diseases, excel
lent in sickness, inflammation of the bowels
and fevers, says the Rochester Sunday
Herald. It is a specific against worms and
skin complains. The pippin, crushed,
may be used with sugar and water and
taken as a drink. Lemon juice is the best
anti-scorbutic remedy known. It not only
cures the disease. but prevents it. Sailors
make daily use of it for this purpose. We
advise every one to rub their gums with
lemon juice to keep them in a healthy con
dition.
The hands are also kept clean, white, soft
and supple by thedaily use of lemon instead
of soap. It also prevents chilblains.
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers, mixed
with strong, hot, black coffee, without
sugar. Neuralgia, it is said, may be cured
by rubbing the parts affected with cut
lemon. It is valuable also to cure warts. It
will remove dandruff by rubbing the roots
of the hair with it. It will alleviate and
finally cure coughs and colds and heal
diseased lungs if taken hot on going to bed.
Its uses are manifold, and the more we em
ploy it internally the better shall we find
ourselves. A doctor in Rome is trying it ex
perimentally in malarial fevers with good
success, and thinks that it will in time suc
ceed quinine.
Decapitating Trees.
When an expert arborculturist trans
plants ornamental trees, says the Garden,
fram the forest, such as maple, elm or bass
wood, he saws off the entire top, leaving
only a bare stem, like a hoppole. Why
does he cut hack a tree to such a damaging
extent? Simply to maintain the balance or
equilibrium between the amoudt of roots
and the quantity of branches and twigs.
Whon a tree is dug up, alarge portion of
the root is left in the ground, and the top
must be cut off in proportion. The great
practical lesson to be learned from this
fact, is to watch every tree that does not
grow as rapidly as it should, and cut away
one-fourth, or half, or even all of the top,
sometimes leaving but a bare stub. As
soon as the roots begin to take a vital hold
on the soil, there will be sufficient sap to
develop good twigs and buds. A person
who does not understand this subject oor
reotly will lack courage to cut off a tree
top. I have cut many fruit trees from
April until August, before I could remove
enough of the top to induce the tree to send
out new buds and to grow vigorously.
When a tree does not grow well;/ saw the
top squarely off a few feet from the ground,
and covor tho wound with grafting wax.
Many trees die or become feeble because
they Carr}- too much top.

Ayer’s Pills
Are everywhere considered the most effect
ive remedy for costiveness, indigestion, and
sick - headache. Being sugar-coated and
purely vegetable, they are without equal as
a family medicine. For all derangements of
the digestive and excretory organs, no other
pills are so universally approved.
“ For a long time my wife was a sufferer
from dysentery, the best physicians in this
section being unable to afford her any re
lief. At length we concluded to try Ayer’s
Pills, and after taking three boxes she was
cured.”—J. B. Smith, Blue Ridge Springs,Va.
“ During the past 28 years I have used
Ayer’s Pills in my family for all derange
ments of the stomach, liver, and bowels, and
also for colds. They have never failed to
benefit.” Prof. Chauncy Herdsman, A. M.,
Business College, Woodside, Newark, N. J.
“Ayer’s Pills are the best I have ever used
for headaches, and they act like a charm in
relieving any disagreeable sensation in the
stomach after eating.”—Mrs. M. J. Ferguson,
Pullens, Va.

WE THIS WEEK
present some rare opportunities in .season
able and desirable goods.
The shopper will notice that we always HAVE
ON HAND THE GOODS AS ADVERTISED
and at PUBLISHED PRICES, and that we
REALLY GIVE BARGAINS.
Nothing is so annoying and disappointing to
buyers as to find that they are lured to any
establishment by ambiguous promises and
prices.
We propose to hold our OLD customers, and
to have FUTURE visits from NEW ones.
