I had talked a great deal about it and my ambition became pretty well known to the traveling fraternity. About a dozen drummers were Sun- daying at a hotel in the.

Fashions, like comets, seem to re volve in their appointed orbits, and, as with Borne oi the comets, little is known ol their courses er periods of return. They are apt to* hurst into the world’s view with scarcely a warn ing of their approaoh. The return of the crinoline is an instance of this law of the universe of Fashion. Three months ago the hoopskirt was merely a memory. To-day- the for- eign journals, which a few weeks ago were* casting jibes at it, are propitiat ing it as the ancients were wont to do in superstitious terror of the ‘-wander- era of the skies.” Thus the “Satur day Review" deems it politic to say ot the crinoline that ‘.'it Is uot natur al, it is not classic; but it is attractive ly last-century, and Elizabethan, and willful, and engagingly artificial." These are words of truth. Yet it would little matter what the press ight say upon the' crinolis* ques tion. The hoopskirt will have its way, though all the star* in their courses should be arrayed against it. It is a fact; and tbs facts of fashion are ■otdebattAl^JTet question* will it A general strike of engineers on the L. & N. is threatened.

Your Uncle Alfred may be in the ' ring himself. Every democrat in the Nebraska legislature voted for Judge Alien, who was elected to the United States sen ate on Tuesday. Score another one for democracy. There appears to be a lull in Geors gia politic*. However, every now now and then some editor nominates a new man for the TJuited States senate.

The senate, by a vote of 42 to 23, has refused to take up the bill to re peal the Sherman bill—the bill au thorizing the monthly purchase of so much silver bullion. This would seem to settle the late of the bill in the senate. It is yet to come up in the house. The republicans are fond of com* paring the career of James G. Blaine with that of Henry Clay. The com parison is ominous. With the death . of Henry Clay the Whig party dis appeared forever from the political • field.

There have been cotton picking machines before. As a southerner puts it, “5100,000,000 have been expended in putting such machines (or, rather, such machine stock) upon the market $1,000,000 for the ma chines themselves, and the balanco for scenery. The machine consists of a series oi brass cylinders, set parallel in a frame, one above another, which opeiate by turning rapidly from both sides of tho cotton stalk, their motion being de rived from the wheels of ibe machine, which ruit in the middle of the cotton rows, causing tbe.macbine to Btraddle the row of cotton to bo operated on. / Aa ono side of the cylinder is pre sented to the cotton, sharp pointed needles portrude through holes per forated in the cylinder, which gathhr the cotton, and, as the cylinders con County Commissioners proceedings.

The important features of the machine are it« weight, which is only 900 pounds (so indispensable factor, since the fields are apt to be muddy); the cylinders, with disappearing teeth, precluding the usual clogging in such machines; its derivation of power, wherein it is similar to a mow ing machine, and the carrying away of tho cotton as fast as it is picked ‘lights went oat.

Too many tenants and hired men are ignorant of or indifferent to the harm done, and hence this mistaken plan often followed.

In planning for your crops DON’T QO ON THE IDEA that it is the number of acres rather than the preparation and condition of the laud which marks the successful fanner.- With our cheap and abundant lands it seems almost natural that ] itffe fallen into this error. But let ‘ ealize that it is an error and resolve to : ollow better metnods. In the last fifty years agriculture has made vast strides ' md it is in those older countries where advanced, scientific methods have been iracticed that a marked degree has >een attained, and our own state, com- laratively young and fresh, has to wt , to a large extent on outside assistance for the food to support our population.

If this has not been done, haul out your manure at once and broadcast. Plow and harrow until you have your soil in good tilth, and in planting tho different vegetables try and supply a* faT as possible the plant food neoded by that special variety. Irish potatoes, the first garden crop usually planted, re- quiro a good deal of potash and two successive crops in tho same yeat.Oau be easily made. Wo are now, tho first of February, eating potatoes dug out of tho open ground, entirely uninjured by - tho severe cold, and as perfect ana Jar go as those of tho usual spring crojp. They were planted in August and heavily mulched, , SliouM it to necessary to ro-seed tho oats put in an additional number Of acres, rather than curtail those already sow*.

Keep a large shoe of your farm for CORN AND SOBOHUW, planting several varieties of the latter with a view to succession of crops. There is nothing bettor for bog8, and If planted convenient tothe hog pasture can be handled without much expense. Leave a, good patch for potatoes and ground peas.' ftemembpr that THE HOG CROP IS SHORT, and the price of meat is advancing. Look well to the hogs. Give them care ful attention.

He gives them tho same at tention that ho gives his plow animals, the same regular daily feeding and wa tering, and at ono year of ago his pork ers average 300 pounds. This result is not so much from the quantity of food, is from the regularity with which it is ^Inall these monthly talks I have en deavored to show that x *» .mould aban don methods, which must result in ab solute stagnation of our energies. Our agricultural misfortunes appeal directly to the business interests of the whole country, and our towns and cities will not continue to thrive and grow when agriculture, their dependence, is in an, unhealthy condition. Buildup onr ag riculture and every industry through out our commonwealth will be re-vital ized. Every effort of our government, our agricultural societies, and our pub lic men, should be directed to this great work. I cannot close this “talk,” with out again appealing to our farmers to avoid the “broad acre” and the “cotton” craze. * „ R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner. To Farmers.

It is impossible to control the output of wheat.and cotton by trust and combination among the planters, as is done in the manufacturing indus tries. But the prudent fanner in the cotton country will take good care to plant enough grain and miscellaneous crops and raise enough live stock supply at least h:s own wants, and then plant whatever cotton he can without going much into debt for it.—St. Louis Republic. road: Respectfully submitted, gomery, Joseph Singletary, Noah Singletary and twenty-niae others, To the Honorable Board County Commission- ere, Thomas County: We, the undersigned petition ycor honor able body to grant an order fer a real leav ing the Union Academy road near Byron Colliers and to connect with the Thomas ville and Ochlockonee road at Israel Jones.
