Our Selected Matter.
Discerning readers are well aware than in
any department of literature, whether it be
medical, theological, agricultural, or what
not, a paper or magazine that combines
‘‘eclectic” • features with the matter it
originates itself will be of more interest
and value than one conducted exclusively
with the latter material, however able its
limited corps of contributors and editorial
writers may be. Compared with the whole
number of thinkers and learned writers
throughout the civilized world the editorial
staff of the ablest conducted journal in the
w crld is a mere atom physically and intel
lectually. It is impossible for such to cover
but the smallest part of the tieid of inves
tigation aud thought. There are able stu
dents and writers in every section of the
world that are engaged in specific lines, and
as individuals are developing thoughts and
a certaining facta that no other mind is en
gaged iu developing. In order to afford a
j.rompt and seasonable currency to the
freshest discoveries of the day, we must re
sort at once to the written words of the
discerner, and due credit give him for
whatever may be vulu ible—facts to be
given as such, aud “theories” given for just
what they are worth.
Our selected matter is now line by line
and. so far as possible, all palpable inappro
priateness is guarded against. The thoughts
of the ablest writers aud investigators in
the field of agriculture, horticulture and
kindred subjects in this country come to our
desk week by week,or month by month, aud
it will be our endeavor to gather from them
much, if not all, of the good and helpful
teachings that they are qualified to give in
every department of rural effort. Not to
mention a hundred other sources frory,
which is emanating information useful 0 o
all classes eugaged in the cultivation of tl ns
soil, there are now at least fifty agricuitur ;ff
experiment stations whose sole business Is to
question nature in behalf of that large t aa
jority who find their work in fields or igar
dens or orchards. Wo confidently loi kto
the stations for much practical instrui ction
in all mutters pertaining to rural life.

The most profitable crop of Irish notatoes
ever grown in the United States, perhaps,
was taat grown in the past seasoi > by W.
J. Sturgis, Buffalo, Wyoming. He com
peted for the prises offered by the . American
Agriculturist, and won the firs?., one with
the following crops on one acre, to wit: 974
bushels, of wuich 838 bushels were mer
chantable, and 133 bushels smn.ll, and only
suitable for seed or feed purposes. The
planting was made on May 7 era new soil of
a rich, sandy loam. The acre was laid off
into furrows six inches deep, i ,nd two and a
half feet apart. The sets were dropped
eight inches apart in tho ro' r, which gave
12,880 hills per acre. The sat i was dropped
by hand and covered with a rake. The
crop was harvested Sept. IV, and tho total
expense of making it was $!& 80.

A Texas lady writing; to Home and
Farm tells how she makes use of the abund
ant garden dock which is a very annoying
weeil in most gardens. She says: Here is a
way to use dock plant which will be new to
many, if not all Most persons use it for
greens, but as we are nut fond of it pre
pared in that way we us*> it for pies. Take
the st ms, she says, peel and cut in small
pieces: till your pan half full of the pieces
and add two tablespoon!"uls of good vinegar
and one-third of sugar. Some may like
more sugar. Bake with two crusts. They
are better when warm, and the pies are al
ways a treat, especially when fruit is scarce
as it was the past year. The dock is very
hardy ana grows from the seed the first
Tear large enough to use. It requires very
littl* care, to bo sure, and seems to get bet
ter a3 it gets older. The first thing out in
thospring, it romains green until midwinter.
It :s equal in flavor to the rhubarb or pie
plant and we call it here the Texas pie
plant. Try it; I’m sure you will find it
delicious.
The most famous butter cow of the age
is the Jersey cow Eurotisims, owned by
h. F. Appleton of Massachusetts. In the
year from April 22, ’B9, to April 22, ’9O, tho
product of butter from this remarkable
ciw amounted to 945 pounds and 9 ounoes,
or at the rate of two and tnree-fitths pounds
1 day the year through.
Prior to this record Sandsur’s Fancy wore
toe beir,, with an annual product of 936
pounds and 14 ounces. Mary-Anne of St.
Umber t led the van prior to the latter, with

A correspondent writing about bone meal
to the Agriculturist says: “For commercial
fertilizer 1 am using pure bone meal, ap

™te of 400 pounds per acre. The bone

There is a very great shortage this year
in two of the great crops of this country,
viz.: corn and Irish potatoes. The firmer
is short three-quarters of a billion of bushels
probably. The total crop of Irish potatoes
produced in this country t his year is esti
mated i.ofticially) to be about 123 million
bushels, the shortest crop in many years. It
is reported, too, that the potatoes are rot
ting badly since harvest, and the quantity
available for use later and for planting, it is
feared, will be greatly curtailed by spring,
it is not at all improbable that southern
buyers will have to pay $3 50 to ffi per
bushels for good seed potatoes the coming
spring. It is to hoped that they will not
have to pay more than that. Let us hope
for the best, and do as J. Gould would ad
vise, instead of eating two potatoes eat only
S. A. a *
Stopping the Gullies.
It is not to be expected that a mere tenant
of land will have the same regard for its
welfare that the owher of it does. The
foraier feels that his tenure is uncertain,
aud his chief concern is to get all he can out
of the land without much, if any, regard to
its future condition. To get one golden egg
the ordinary tenant of land is quite will.ng
to sacrifice the traditional goose. He is not
apt to spe-ad any time in ditchiug it, in usiug
any grea l . precaution for securing horizontal
rows, Tie has little concern for mitigati g
the bakjful influence of pernicious woe is,
nor is he specially mindful as to plowing the
land when it is too wet, except as it may
pros e injurious to his growing crops. And
so il; has c.me to pass in the south, as it has
in '3very other country when the tenant
system was carried on without the ovr
sig at of the owners, that the lauds have be
co me so gullied aud impoverished it is tm
pi siible to grow profitable crops upon them.
V luah of it would not be worth the cost of
l eclamation now under present values, and
about all that can be done with it is to turn
it over to such growth of sedge, pine sap
lings or the scant growth of Lespedeza that
may take a hold upon it. Nature abhors
a “vacuum” no more perhaps than she does
a soil denuded of all vegetation, and she has
provided plants for certain conditions that
find their congenial soil in one that is pov
erty stricken. These, however, with their
scant growth anil lunutritious quality are
of no practical value of any consequence,
except that they may gradually aid" in the
restoration of tue soil by supplying from year
to year small quantities of vegetable mat
ter.
The owner, of course, may starve to
death while this slow process is going on if
he had to wait for tho restoration of this
soil to a fertile condition. Where land is as
plentiful as it is with us, he is under no
necessity of waiting for this slow restora
tion. He simply turns it out into commons
and continues to cultivate his best laud—un
til it wears out, too; and if he has no woods
land to take in he soils out and moves
away.
Under the miserable tenant system that
prevails and has prevailed so long in the
south, is it to be wondered at that a large
proportion of our lands is so gullied ami
impoverished that it is impossible to grow
profitable crops upon it?
Of course, the rolling lands of the hill
eouniry have more rapidly detorioated
than the level lands farther south, but even
of the latter mauy thousands of acres have
had all their fertility washed out of them
and no longer pay for their culture, or at
any rate pay but a scanty living either to
owner or tenant.
Neglect in taking the proper precautions
to prevent the gullying &f laud has not been
by any means confined to tenants. Many
land-owners, both large and small, who
farm their own lands, have given little care
to proven lug the starting of guilias, or
stopping them after they had once started.
There are a good man . who have warked
up to the necessity of doing something to
prevent the washing away of their soils.
The more intelligent and energetic fanners
in the various sections of the south have
done a good deal in the past five or six
years in the way of terracing such lands as
needed protection, and have recognized tho
value of devoting very rolling land to per
manent grass, thus obviating the need of
plowing such soils, except at rare intervals,
when it may become necessary to resoed the
soil, but the large majority have done little
or nothi g iu this direction. There is only
one rational and economical plan to pursue
with very rolling lands that are being
washed into gullies, aud that is to
to devote it to permanent grass, either for
pasturage or hay, two things that a farmer
needs as much as anything else. Bermuda
grass is the grass for tho purpose.
Very rolling lands, if promptly terraced
as soon as brought under cultivation and
before gullies have started, need never show
a gully that amounts to much. At that
stage the expense of terracing is trifling
compared to what it will be after gullies
have been allowed to form.
As pasture aud hay are just as valuable
crops as c ru or oats, there is no reason why
all the hiliides of Georgia farms should not
bo devoted to permanent grass and iu hav
ing it so secure the protection of the soil in
the most economical way possible.
Bam’l Austin.
Government Aid to Agriculture.
Wnen some very wealthy and powerful
Athenian asked the philosopher Diogenes
what he could have done for him the reply
came promptly, “Only that you would not
stand between mo and the sun.” The farmers
occupy much such an independent position
with regard to aid from government, says
the American Cultivator. As the chief
producers of national wealth, they have
perhaps as good a claim as any to help from
the national treasury. But, unfortunately
for them, they have to pay a large part of
the taxes, and if they get something back
it is oniy taking from one pocket and plac
ing it in another, always minus certain in
evitable wastages and stealings. Nature
works with aud for the farmer, if govern
ment will only stand aside and let nature
work unobstructed, it is perhaps as well for
the farmer as anything government is likely
to do for him.
Whon government does try to help agri
culture tho efforts are usually so widely
misdirected as to do nearly as much harm as
good. Of appropriations by the general
government far the largest share is de
voted to seed distribution, and this is made
mainly because members of congress desire
this menus of making friends with their
farmer constituents. Here goes fully SIOO,-
000, foolishly exoended in seeds that can he
better supplied by seedsmen with whom the
government is unfairly competing. Few
or no seeds are thus introduced. Usually,
after some novelty has been duly popular
ized. the agricultural department buys up a
lot of its seeds, to enable special friends of
the congressmen to try it without costing
them anything. These free seeds are no
boon even to tbe recipients. What costs
little is little esteemed. If the seeds are
planted they ure often not half cared for.
in the meantine, as a direct result of gov
ernmeut aid, one of the most important
branches of farming, the growing and sale
of seeds, is discriminated against by this
free competition with legitimate industry.
Every year congress appropriates a large
sum to distribute gratuitously a mass of
agricultural reading matter prepared under
the inacag- ineu*. of the department of agri
culture. Now no live farm journal really
dreads the free comi etitkm of the agricul
tural department reports. Practical farmers
look to their own c.ass of journals for late
news and facts relative to their calling.

press is just as earnest as if the means em
ployed were c!uni>y and inefficient. It
is not pos-lble for government to run a pro
gressive agricultural news[iaper. If it were
e would willingly appropriate
sev rol hundred thousand dollars, or per
hsjw several mi.lions if necessary, to supply
their fr.ends with copies free at govern
ment expense.
This country has so great agricultural re
sources, and its farming population is so
wide-aw ake and enterprising, that they can
easily do much tetter for themselves thau
any slow and clumsy government can do
for them. Our agricultural progress,
greater than that m <d<> m any other coun
try in the world, i- the result mainly of in
dividual enterprise, with the smallest possi
ble government interference. IVe are con
testing sharply for the world’s markets of
grain, meat and eottou; but a fair field and
no favor is our best assurance of success.
If the government will let farmers alone,
it is perhaps as great a service us it can
render.
Waste Lands for Fruit and Forests
Prof. Maynard, says aa exchange, calls
attention to the fact that apple trees, re
markable for their thrift aud vigor, are
often found on land so rough and stonv
that it cannot be cultivated. The fruit pro
duced upon such land is noted for its high
color and rich flavor, and for long-keeping
qualities. There are thousands upon thou
sands of acres of this kind of land, and
much of it is almost worthless for any
other purpose than foresty and the produc
tion of the large fruits, and, if properly
caied for, it would, in a few years, give a
large income for the investment. In plant
ing such land, particular care must be given
to the preparation of the soil dreclly
around the tree, and to saving the material
often found growing upon it, such as
sedges, brush, etc., or obtained elsewhere to
lie used for mulch, to prevent the escape of
the moisture that is rapidly carried away
by the leaves or grasses and other plants.
The advantages claimed for the turf system
are, that the ireos mature their wood much
earlier in the autumn, and, consequently,
are loss liable to injury from cold, the roots
are protected from injury from the ex
tremes of heat and cold by the grass roots;
the trees begin bearing much earlier and
bear more regularly, tue fruit is of better
quality aud keeps longer, the cost of land
and cultivation is much less, while a satis
factory growth may be obtained by the use
of a small amount of fertilizer applied to
the surface.
High Fences.
High fences, says an exchange, are not
required for the Brahmas and Cochins, as
they have wings so short as to prevent them
from flying over a fence four feet high. All
the hens of the non-sitting breads must be
kept kept within bounds by high fences. A
cheap fence, but which can be made six
foet high, can be constructed of lath. Latns
are usually four feet long. First nail a row
of half laths to strips and above them nail a
row of whole laths. Three strips, from
posts eight feet apart, will answer, and if
the strips are of 2x3 scantling the fence can
be made strong enough to turn dogs or other
small animals.
Rain Storma and Poultry.
Diseases that affect fowls in winter, says
an exchange, are more prevalent during the
continuance of rainy weather than during a
cold period. Cold, clear weather, when the
air is dry', seldom affects poultry unfavora
bly, and at such times there is nothing to
prevent turning the hens outside, giving
them litter to scratch in and allowing them
to keep warm by healthy exercise; but
poultry of all kinds suffer from someone or
more of the various ailmeuts due to expos
ure to damp weather. Roup is a disease
that seldom put in an appearance in dry
weather. The dampness is also fatal to
chicks during the winter. The host remedy
Is shelter, a warm, tight house, aud the
fowls confined during damp days, or until
tho weather becomes clear.
Bright Red Apple.
An exchange speaks of the bright red Ben
Davis apple which, it says, is now hanging
in the orchard, and which *’is a favorite in
the west.” Well, that is true; the Ben Davis
is considerable of a favorite, both with
growers and with the consumer. Yet it is
an apple that is not surerior iu quality. In
deed, it is inferior. But the secret of its
success with growers is that it grows, which
is more than a good mauy better apples do,
and that it sells well because it is red, its red
color being a recommendation to the con
sumer. We hope that some time wo shall
have a much better apple than the Ben
Davis, that will grow uuder as many differ
ent conditions as the Ben Davis will, but
we hope it will be red.
Vicissitudes or a Spendthrift Million
aire.
From tfie Chattanooga Times.
Cincinnati, Nov. 25.—Twenty years ago Wil
liam Iloisworth, a wealthy citizen of this
state, married a Hamilton, Ohio, heiress, and
arranged to spend the honeymoon in the east.
Instead of taking a train, the happy groorn ar
ranged for relays of coao.’ies between Hamilton
and the City of Brotherly Cove. The affair
and reports, was talked of all over the country,
of the novel trip published in the newspapers
of this country and Europe. The groom cre
ated a furore by spending money lavishly, aud
lighting $1 cigars with #5 and $lO bills.
This morning the happy groom of twenty
years ago was a prisoner on the yellow bench
in the police court. He got drunk in Cummins -
ville last evening and threw a boulder through
a saloon window. He was fined $5 and costs,
and for want ot on) of the bills with which he
formerly lighted his cigars he was sent to tae
work house.
MEDICAL.
Weak Lungs
Hay he made to do good service through a
loug life by a judicious use of Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral. The signs of weakness are “short
ness of breath," pains in the chest and back,
a persistent cough, feverishness, and raising
of blood. All or either of these symptoms
may indicate weak lungs, aud should liavs
immediate attention.
“ I have been a life-long sufferer from
weak lungs and, till I used Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral, was scarcely ever free from a
cough. This medicine always my
cough and strengthens my lungs, as no other
medicine ever did. 1 have induced many of
my acquaintances to use the Pectoral in
throat aud lung troubles. It has always
proved beneficial, particularly so in the case
of my son-iu-law, Mr. Z. A. Snow, of this
place, who was cured by it of a severe
cough.”—Mrs. L. I. Cloud, Benton, Ark.
“I have had lung trouble for about one year
and have tried many different remedies, but
nothing does me so much good as Ayer’s
Cberrv pectoral. I heartily recommend this
medicine.” —Cynthia Horr, Harmony, Me.

doing exceptionally well.
Cause: We've turned over
to you BETTER Clothing
CHEAPER this season
than memory can recall,
and good things will al
ways sell. Most of you
buy by looks, but you
want to buy at a safe
place, so WE’VE get
your trade.
We want to make a
personal inquiry. How’s
your overcoat, and the
boys? You know why
we’ve asked that; if you
are going to change
you’ll want to use us.
We’ve the nobbiest line
that ever left a tailor s
hands. They preach
their own sermon of
superiority.
Christmas is “dead
ahead.” Furnishings ara
hoisting up with novel
ties to give. Ladies who
have gentlemen frieuds
to remember, and are in
a quandary as to what
shape the present should
take, can solve it a hun
dred different ways here.
Right after Christmas comes
society’s turn. Then the Dress
Suit. Your friends who a r e wear
ing ours are all the recommend
ations we need. Their satisfac
tion and our price will out-talk
anything we can say.
We are Dr. Jaegers sole
agents for his Underwear Spe
cialties. Health in every fiber.
Take these things into your
mind’s thoughts; con them once
and follow your judgment But
one place for you to come—
