From the fact that tire ■*“*9 °* plants and woods contain near ly* 1 * oftheirmineral constituentsex- oept a Te»y small portion that has bees lost in the process of combustion, it is na i rally to be expected that the best res Uu mar always be looked for from th< u*» of them as fertOiaen. kOwever, Says The New Yon Wnrik, occasional cases when tbe application of ashes is disappointing, for the soil may be either too rich or too poor to receive any considerable benefit from them. This may arise from tbe fact that the soil alreadv een- tains all the aaceetery mineral elements or it may be so deficient in vegetable mold as to make them virtually useless. As a genera] rule, however, on average farms a liberal dressing of ashes mat be used not only for immediate benefit, but with beneficial results fora succession of years. It is common to estimate tbe fertiliz ing value of sabes chiefly by the potash a*d phosphoric acid they contain, and to consider leacbed ashes useful onlv (or their mechanise! effect on tbe soil. It, however, frequently happens that in tbeir leached oonditien, when tbe pot ash has been extracted, they exert an influence almost ss marked as that pro duced by tbe same quantity of mnleach- ed ashes on another field. This arises from the fart that the soil of the field on which they were used was not deficient m potash, but greatly needed lime and phosphor-* acid which the leached ashes •ull retained and which are as necessa y for plant growth a- ootash. Now, as ftrthe* contain sorb Q -re lin»# «hto po*» •sh, it is quite lik«i] that we often gi»e to potash the credit that really beionga *° lime and phosphoric scid^As com mercial ashes are usually made from a variety of woods, It may he of interest to stole that the popular idea of tbe greater value of those from hard woods itia the main correct, although the in feriority of those from soft wood is ow ing about as much to the small qnanhty produced as it is to deficiency in qual- ity. s t well-to— o farmers North and South, •ad there are plenty who growl at their 1 *t._ Intellect, skill and good sense, are imlividnal, and they are not sectional • geographical.—Baltimore American.

MURRELL. Eorroa. *VHY FARMING LH)£3 NOT PAY. FARMERS’ WIYES. Idleness and carelessness are often causes of much of the nnaUractivenes* of life on the form. “Anything is good enough for a former’s wife,” and peo ple who do not respect tbeir calling. *oon cease to he themselves respectable, cor lack of appreciation, tbe wife is apt, even if ia her girlhood she was neat, to become slovenly and carries* as to her appearance: This antidines.* in herself reacts in her borne, nntil sel fishness and disorder prevails. Coder *oeh influences, the bright and sparY- ling girls reach an uninteresting ma-u- nty and then a repulsive age. They become possessed of the idea, more per nicious than any other that ever entered the heart of woman, that anything will do at home, or is good enough for the family. They live, as tbev tell you, “a dag’s life,” bat without a'thought that they are in any way responsible for, their wretchedness. Another ill grows ont of the flnanrte) relations af tbe former's wife. As a rule, the husband makes the purchases, even to procuring his wife’s dresses! while she rarely, or never has, the con trol of a dollar. Sometimes she frets and worries about things which her husband cannot afford, aud which she would gladly do without, if she under stood h was circumstances, and not the arbitrary dictum of her husband, which made the economy necessary. By this system, there is developed in the husband, even of the nobler type, a narrow-minded tyranny and petty penu- rionsneas. The wife remains a child in finance, and if she is entrusted with tbe shopping, she does it awkwardly and unwisely. At times, she feels keenly the deprivation. Isolation is another detrimental ele ment in the life of a farmer's wife. In thinly settled communities, this is ane of the worst troubles she has to contend with. The nearest neighbor may be miles sway, and the daily routine of farmhouse work, sa healthful as the background of tbe picture, becomes gloomy and monotonous wbea not touched with the colore of interest, or brightened by the light of intercourse with friends. In families Hying ten miles distant, the man will go to town about a hundred times a year to sell his grain, get the mail, and (thongh he would not like to own it) to learn the news snd talk politics on the street.

Last week at the time the Herald was issued some highly sensational reports were flying around which reflected upon the integrity of Solicitor Russell—name ly, that he bad been indicted bytftm grand jury of Oconee county for mat- practice. Feeling certain these reports were untrue, we declined to notice them. As to how these rumors orig inated, whether from an evil intention or gross ignorance oa the part of certain parties in Oconee county, it is net nec essary to inquire. It is sufficient to know that the facts completely and en tirely vindicate Mr. Russell, and leave his name as an officer of the law and an honorable and upright man without a stain.

WHOTXSOHH ADVICS TO FABUSES AS T3I BAG IK a NSW teak’s OPEKATIOS. This case bas been pleaded in the Courts of Equity for s hundred yean agonc, but without avail. At last tbe farmer bas re alized that resolutions sad declarations of rights are fuiit* nnlcss backed by substos- i sl demonstration* of power—tor half a cemu.-y he has annually resolved, tt-edeed and lived and paid just the same. Upon his own motiou the case has been trans ferred to tbe Court of Am'X'S, where bh» power will be ganged and his abii.ty to enforce his demauds demonstrated. In its present status ths case comes np from tbe deckel of ’89. with the endorse ment “ointiuUed." It has been ’contin ued’’ upon motion of both parties thereto, but not on tbe same lines throughout, dome points have been definitely settled— •hey are unaltered facts ia the calender of 1889, vrhauvvr history in 1890 may write. Note s few of the most prominent: 1. Contrary to all precedent and pred-c- tion, the farmers h»v« stuck together the past year. They have done more—they naTe acted cracertedly. consexvativeiy, in telligently. True result* are ah«»rt of wuat they mi*ht have be*.; but they bare been directly proportional to the pre valence of concerted action—and, I am petsuaded, are far short of what 1890 will snow. Tbe farmer’s ability to “suck*’ is a demonstrated tact. 2. The farmer’s ability to control his prod net, and oemand a fair price for it in the markets of the world, even uud«r tbe unfavorable conditions of hut year, is a settled question. There is no wiping out tbe fact that, notwithstanding tbe large crop, aud tbe manipulation of a sbriaktug volume of currency in the interest of spec ulation, the cotton crop Ju»t harvested bas anli for an »v-raxe of $5 more per bale tban that of a y.ar since ’81. This, too, ia (see of existing dispru|>ortioos—«. g., tbe crop of 1881 .gxerated only five aud a half miJion bales as against near Seven ana s half millions tor last year. To pur chase the crop of 1881 there was currency ia circulation to the amount of $11.48 |*r capita; to purchase the last crop, there was o«Jy $6.10 ;>r capita, or ie»s. It is .eneral iy admitted by candid ob servers in Wall street and out of it that the farmers’ movement was tbe principal fac tor in making up this result. If such re sults can be wrought out of such erode material, with an eavioitmmenl inauspi cious, what may not tbe farmer reasonably hope for the preseat year? TMpsfibH<- ties contingent alone upon c>»aerated ac tion (tor wise leadership is assured) are in spiring in tbe highest degree 3 Tue mercantile and manufacturing world has changed ns attitude toward the farmer.

No class can prosper that buys in the highest anrl sells in tbe lowest mar kets ia the world. There has been little or no legislation fsr the benefit ot the farming class and very much that has been detrimental to it. I ho remedy for this is to demand •ucti legislation a* will save the farstera from impending bankruptcy, aud to en force this demand send tnen to repre- ssst u* who know our necessities and knowing them will have the manhood ts maintain eur r-gnts. It is folly to think for a moment that permanent success can be achieved on the faros when general conditions prevail that positively force the farmer to pay trib ute greater than can be produced on the farm after feeding himself and family. We have shown that the farmer feeds aud clothes the world and yet his food erops and cotton and wool crops are sold for a price less than the actual cost ef production The «vils that afflict the cotton raiser South overtake Ilia corn sad perk ratters Northwest.

The question is asked are there any reme dies for these ills which sadden the lives in so many homes in our land? The most obvious answer is. education; first of the practical kind, and the a as opportunity offers, mere general cult- an economical meaapre of the ure as an economical measure of the highest importance. There should be colleges of domestic economy for girl*, where the proper preparation of food, eare of health and dwelling, and house hold thrift should be taught.
