j In order to restore exhausted lands,
I we must know what “ails” the land. If a
man’s horse is sick he neither proposes to
1 sell or give it away nor kill it, but goes
; to work to ascertain the nature of its disease
i tha he may apply a remedy. The same
i course is necessary in dealing intelligently
j with oiir worn-out- soil. It has been tilled
which is not harmful under proper conditions,
but in most cases the crops have been remov
ed. taking away that fertility which has
neither been restored by tillage nor manure.
With farmers generally they talk of ma
nure and of fertilizers, but lilttle of the culti
vation of toe soil. This feriile matter of the
soil has been removed by crops faster than
nature could restore in Its own way, hence
we must either abandon the land, letting it
lie waste, while nature, through its own slow
process, brings back its fertility, or seek new
lands, or else adopt a system of improvement.
If we go west we do not escape this malady.
The same causes are there at work, to pro
duce sterility, which we complain of.
In the land there is plenty of fertilizing
matter, yet- not always in a condition for
plant food, and the problem is how may we
produce it faster than Nature does! By ren
dering the fertile elements so soluble that wa
ter can take them to the roots of the plants,
which latter can only be fed through the in
fluence of water.
Fertilizing matter in the soil has a market
value, the sannl as it has in the manure pile
or in the commercial fertilizer, and that
farmer is a fool who says his land is not worth
cul'ivating, loafing Ins time away in the black
smith shop or in the village store, or who sells
his farm at a low price and goes West to seek
soil that cannot be exhausted. The value and
importance of tillage is not fully understood
or appreciated by the mass of farmers. A
man with a good team can earn fair wages
by simply plowing and re-plowing his land,
and by such cultivation releasing the fertil
izing matter in the soil, and aid in restoring
its fertility. No mao can afford to buy ma-
nure and special fertilizers if he neglects til
lage. No man should put upon his land any
fertilizer, either manure or any other kind,
who contemplates dispensing with the most
thorough culture. Tilling the soil mulches it
in such a manner that a horse with a cultiva
tor. in one day, would prevent the evapora
tion of more water than the same horse could
draw upon the land in one day iu a barrel on
wheels.
The working of the soil, however, in con
nection with the application of manure and
special fertilizers, works wonderful results.
The great universal solvent is the oxygen of
the atmosphere, and, while but a small per
centage is free m the atmosphere, the earth is
full of ii while that which is free in the
atmosphere, is ever ready to enter into and
make new combinations in the soil. Hence
one great object of tillage is to let in this ox
ygen, that it 'may preduce those changes
necessary for the production of plant foo.d.
Cultivation also aids in the escape of water
where there is too much in the soil: for
while a certain amount of water aids in the
decomposition of the soil, too much water
shuts out the oxygen and prevents decompo
sition. Stagnant water is antagonistic to
plant growth. Water in a state of motion
not only conveys food to the plant but con
veys heat, both to and from the land, equal
izing it* temperature.
.Superphosphate of lime is a compound of
phosphoric acid and lime, and, in order to
produce it, sulphuric acid is added to the
ground bone, which yields sulphate of lime

1. An emblem of stupidity,
My first in forests found;
Up in air oft rises higher,
Though fastened to the ground,
But by sharp means it is removed,
And managed various ways;
By art or skill may be improved,
Or, perhaps, it makes a blaze.
My second is of every kind,
Is good, or bad, or gay;
Is dull or brig..t, to suit all minds,
By night as well as day.
The patient seaman keeps with care my
whole,
And well it knows his secrets night and
day:
And though it has no tongue, nor heart, nor
soul,
It tells the story of the ship’s long way.
2. My first is a preposition.
“ sacond implies more than one.
“ third is a pronoun
“ fourth some people do no! pay.
“ whole is not consistent.
3. My first is poison, slow but sure,
That prevs on many frames;
Compounded oft of tilings impure,
And called by many names.
My first and second form my whole.
That’s one of Satan’s dens;
Many a man has lost his soui,
Through meeting there with friends.

And summer suns shine bright,

And bring my first to light.
My second is a valiant knight,
Who weal's a crest and spur,
And when he’s challenged to a fight.
He does not long demur.
My whole, as ancient fables say,
Was once a friend of Juno,
In dress he makes a great display—
His name by this time you know.

“* Reader” says I am acquainted with a
young lady whom I could love dearly and be
happy with as mv wife. She has, I feel sure,
given me such encouragement as a modest
woman may, to believe that my advances
would not prove unfavorable to her. But I
am financially embarrassed, and this makes
me keep away from her company. I think
she is a little hurt at this. What ought I to
do ? * * State the difficulty to her m a can
did, manly way, and ten toone her good sense
and quick womanly insight may see a way out
of the dilemma. At any rate, she will no
longer feel hurt.
Rupert E. writes: “The other day, I re
ceived a bouquet from a lady whom 1 admire
greatly. Among the flowers, there were at
least four that had unfavorable emblems: and
my cousin, a young ladv. thinks the floral
present was meant as a rebuff. What do you
think ?” * * It is more than likely that no
evil significance was attached by the young
lady to her gift. Perhaps she did not know
the “emblems” of the flowers; these are given
differently in different “Floral Guides.” I
would enjoy my flowers, thank the donor and
think nothing about the emblems. It is true
that “in Eastern lauds they talk in flowers,”
but our American girls need no such interpret
ers. What they don’t care to say with their
tongues, they manage to express with their
eyes.
Marian asks, What name is it that means
perfect woman ? * * It is Henriette.
James writes: “I want to know what is the
meaning of the name Mrs. Harris. I come
across it often in reading. ‘As mythical as
Mrs. Harris ’ In the well-known poem,
‘Nothing to Wear,’ we Tire told Miss Flora
McFlimsey visited Paris with her friend, Mrs.
Harris.
‘Not the Indy whose name is so famous in history,
bin plain Mrs. If. without romance or mystery.’
“Now, take pity on a back-woods fellow’s
ignorance, and tel! him who Mrs. Harris is.”
* * She is a hypothetical lady in “ Martin
Chuzzlevit,” one of Dickens’ novels, to whom
Sairy Gamp, a monthly nurse and a ridicu
lous creature, refers for the corroboration of
all her statements—the bank, as it were, upon
which Sairy draws for any amount of praise
of herself.
“ Farmer’s Wife ” writes: “I am comingto
Atlanta just before Christmas to do my shop
ping for next year, and as time will lie pre
cious, please tell me just where 1 can get the
best bargains both as to price and quality.”
* * Atlanta is full of excellent dry goods
stores, but as you wish to save time, we will
say there is none more extensive and reliable
than the old and well-known establishment of
John Keely, corner of Whitehall and Hunter
streets. Mr. Keely’s spacious store is con-

the fanciful name for cotton. DarwiupiBjtis

Doubtless, the lady has cotton growing oft
her place. If not, the name loses its signifi
cance, like that of our own modest little do
main, which a romantic young member of the
household named “Azalia,” because of the
many wild faoney-suekles, pink, white, yellow
and scarlet, that grew about it. But in an
evil hour, paterfamilias, unknowing of the
name, and intent upon a clover pasture, cut
down the azalias, and the name stands with
out the substance—like many other things in
this world, however.
Philip says: “Please tell me why people
say “closed hermetically” with reference.to
sealing up anything. I have read, too. of lips
closed hermetically.” * * It means closed
like a chemist—that is, perfectly-fitting—
air-tight. The word hermetically is from Her-
mes, the Chaldean chemist sometimes called
Hermes Trismegestus, and supposed to be the
founder of Alchemy.
Dilla says: “ 1 have been married only four
months. 1 love my husband devotedly, and
I fondly believed I was the fij-st object
in his heart. So I was at first, but lately he
has grown colder. Sometimes he really seems
tired of my society, and I am very unhappy
about it, for I really fear 1 am losing my hus
band’s love, and I should prefer death to-such
a fate. What shall I do!” * * Are you sure
your trouble is not a fanciful one ? Romantic
and loving young wives are apt to expect too
much of their husbands. Do you think
the “roses and raptures of love” are to last
forever!—that the devoted lover will not
merge into the calmly, affectionate husband !
Remember that love is not man’s whole ex
istence—nor ought it to be. What manliness
is therein a husband forever billing and coo
ing over his wife, though she be fairest of the
fair! Every-day business, outlooks for the
future, study of men and life as well as of
books -all these claim a man's attention. But
it does not follow that because he bestows less
attention to his wife that, he is less mindful of

Among the most stylish dresses now at a
recent wedding was one of deep red carnation
brocade, made high and without sleeves, with
a front of white satin, trimmed with fine
plaiting of lace and fringes of pearls. The
elbow sleeves were of lace, enriched with an
embroidery ot pearls, and finished with rutiles
anil fringes matching the front of the dress.
A dead leaf brocade was worn, with a deep
blue satin vest, cut square, and embroidered
with leaves shaded in dark, dead tints. It
was fastened with buttons of carved pearl,
touched with enamel. An example of. plain
velvet costumes was one in claret-color, made
with a coat basque, and corded with satin in
double pipings. The buttons were gold with
enameled centers. A garnet velvet hat was
worn with this dress, trimmed with eream-
eolor and garnet feathers. An antique lace
scarf was worn at the throat, and a huge
hunch of cream-colored rose-buds at the left
of the waist.
Plain silksare no longer fashionable. They
are still worn in black, but in the dark shades
cloth, satin or velvet with their combinations
seem to have superceded them.

We dropped the funny matrimonial scheme
last year very suddenly and without expla
nation. And why ? Because there were ob
jections to it. Some short-sighted, straight-
backed and visionary people who see evil and
only eril in everything, discovered hobgob
lins in it, and we dropped it lest we should of
fend. But we failed to see the harm, immedi
ate or prospective, and cannot yet see it, and
hence have concluded to renew the scheme. All
the old maidsand marriageable girls of all ages
will, therefore, be married off immediately if
not sooner. Subscribe for The Sunny South
