DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE.
Extract Prom a Translation of a French
Lecture, by Miss K. L. Howard, of
Kingston,
Never cultivate but with heavy manur
ing. Manure is the raw material of ag
riculture. When you cultivate with
light manuring, you put yourself in the
condition of a manufacturer who has a
large machinery at heavy cost which he
can only half supply with raw material;
although provided with a jterfeet appa
ratus, he getn out half oi what he should
have, from his outlay, aud tiie result is to
doubie tiie general expense.
Nov, in agriculture, the plant is tiie
chief organ of production, tiie soil tiie
foundation upon which it rests, and the
fertilizer is tiie raw material. Scant fer
tilization brings small crops, and the
profit is absorbed by the general expense,
diminished, because tiie product is in
creased.
With plenty of fertilizer, we have large
crops, certain profits, cheap living, se
curity to society, success and fortune to
the producer, and harmony between all
classes. The once sacred formula or
meadow, cattle, cereals, the expression
of a past progress, is now but tiie skele
ton of a mammoth tonsil.
But here arises an objection sufficient
to overthrow this new edifice, unless
promptly mot and answered.
if every ono uses this intense culture
will there not be an over-abundant sup
ply, too low market, loss of profit, and
universal misery in tiie midst of plenty,
as in Egypt, winre two crops are grown,
and where tiie people have, for the last
ten centuries, been fur behind the poorer
provinces of Spain and Portugal?
' ~5io; siX'li a danger is not to be feared.
Tiie wonder of this new method is that
m simple change in the pivot of produc
[ion is sufficient to restore tiie equilibrium
between supply and demand, our re
sources ami our wants, the production
and consumption. What is needed to do
this? Make a little more meat and a lit
tle less wheat, replace the inferior grains
—rye and barley—with wheat.
The leimt change in the relations of
three products will be sufficient
restore toe equilibrium in case of ex
cess.
Here is the explanation :
On an equal surface, tiie Irish potato
produces four times as much food as
wheat ami sixteen times more than the
meadow whose growth is converted into
meat, if there is an excess in the pro-
I ductlon ot Irish potatoes and wheat, a
. slight increase in the production of meat
V w ill restore the equilibrium.
\ Better food for all classes tilings nat
yurally better and more active labor,
whip!) v-vAMimphshes better work and re-
Vp>7CS better pay. _ E\Try >^irL-il vt--trt>fim-'
try is dependent upon and regulated by
tiie amount and quality of its agricultural
products. The most important part is
tiie increase and virility of tiie popula
tion. Compare the work of a Calabrian
with that Ot a Belgian ditcher, the eon-
semnsin explicable; examine the

■K(i is no denying the fact that the pto
from inti nsive culture can he cx

tto the system. There never will be
er-prbduction and consequent loss in
ice of sales.

and effect A ITTTS-a -general improve
int iu food—aud with better food, ini
tved physical organization of the pop
ilation; greater power of work, and a
quickening *f the intellectual and moral
capacity. Plato, Dante and Lavoisier
qre not born iu the high valleys of the
ra and Valias where idiocy prevails.
The ancients say, man is a microcosm
.. aff embodiment of the natural con
ditions of climate, soil and attitude of
his country.
These a. e the ft ue terms tinder which
agriculture should be practised.
llow ought tiie problem to be stated,
and iiow solved ? A few words embody
the whole: Manure heavily.
Cultivation with barnyard manure
alone does not respond to tiie wants of
our time, nor the requirements of ou. so
' cial condition. It does not pay the pro
ducer. it does not give stability to so
".cry. Who is twdd enough to believe he
is more skillful than Lavoisier, or cm
succeed where Mathew tie Dotubasle,
'Plla and BoussUl-gatrtThave tailed?
to farm profitably never
\will make plenty of manure, but
Will manure heavily. If you have
mure, buy fertilizers,
have a simple an t practical nietli-
V pen to all. By knowing in what
your soil is wanting, the choice of fertili
zers is an easy matter.
Your choice must Ik? guided by tiie
plants themselves.
In no case must the production of ma
nure he th* main object. It is a subm-di
nate element in the agricultural problem.
The main point, and absolute condition
L uf success. is to give the soil the fertilizer
that wiTT'produce maximum crop. This
is the only way to insure success and
avoid disappointment.
With ’ *”uyard manure alone iris not
possible to feed a plant according to its
nature. You give it an abundance of a
food it does not want, ami stint it in a
kind it has most need of.
Analyze the manure of a sheep fed on
the lands of Gascoigne, you liud only a
smtjdl trace of phosphate, examine its
.skeleton and you may truly say there is
.ho bony frame, and the tendons sandy
and hardened.
How can you get cereals from such
manure?
If you buy fertilizers the matter be
comes simple, economical, and harmo
nious; each plant i-eceivs what it needs.
The principle of the question being
sett\ U. we take no the rib-- to be fol
lowed in ~
The rtde is very simple: Supplement
the manure with $9 worth of fertilizei
per acre for all crops, and the meadow is
included in this rule. Increase the num
ber of cattle, or reduce the meadow and
give plaee to industrial cultures, such as
hops, tobacco, hemp and colza with in
tense manuring.

■ FRAUDS IN FERTILIZERS. j
llovr me Laws are Evaded In the State of
Georgia.
Charleston News anil Loaner.]
“If you want to do a good thing for
the farmers and earn the gratitude of
honest dealers,” saio a fertilizer inanu- |
facttirer to me tiie other day, “write op j
the loose method of procuring the analy
sis ot fertilizers in Georgia.”
“Tell me about it,” said I.
“Well, I will, but please remember
that I attack no special person and am j
trying fo injure no one’s business. I 1
only want to ee a different system of j
sampling fertilizers inaugurated in Geor
gia for the protection ot reputable deal
ers. And while i have tiie names here
I don’t want you to publish them. The
News and Courier can give the cause ot
honesty a big lift by simply drawing at
tention to tne general facts.”
“Now,” resumed the manufacturer,
drawing’outol his pocket two #ell-worn
bulletins containing the analysis ot all
terliiizers sold last year in Georgia and
North Carolina, “see here. Look a this
North Carolina analysis. You see it is
of a standard well-known fertilizer Its
commercial \alue is put down at s9* 17 a
ton. Now look at the Georgia analysis;
it shows a value of $33.88 a ton. Here is
another brand—s27.4o in North Caroli
na and $31.55 iu Georgia. Here is still;
another —$24.47 in North Carolina and i
$29.81 in Georgia. There is, you see, a j
difference of from $4 to $5 a ton between I
the analysis of Georgia and North Caro- j
linn, and in a large number of cases the
(Georgiaanalysis are higi.er in the same
proportion. They ought to be a little
higher because there is q. difference in
the valuation of the materials in Georgia
aud No th Carolina of fifty or sixty cents
h ton, and a further difference in the
analysis—distinct methods being used —
of a dollar or a dollar and a halt more.
But why should there be a difference of
$5 or $5 in various brands? Well, I’ll
tell you. In North Carolina the South
Carolina method of sampling is followed.
The agents of the department of agricul
ture go about quietly and draw their sara
pes in the most obscure places, so that
they are sure to hit on the ordinary qual
ty of the terliiizers sold in the State.
None of the manufacturers know where
or when they are going to take samples,
and they risk a great deal if they send
any faulty goods into the state. But in
Georgia it is different. The theory is the
same but U is not properly followed.
When a manufacturer wants to cheat the
department and tiie farmers he ships into
the State at the very opening of the sea
son a cargo of high grade goods—better
than lie usually makes—and then notifies
the department that the lot is in such a
place ready for sampling. The agent
samples it and tlie analysis is made from
this sample, which in fact does not truly
represent tin* class of goods shipped into
the State later in the season.”
“I)o yon know this to be so?”
“Yes, I do. Some of tiie manufactur
ers and agents have themselves admitted
it to me. 1 know members of tiie church
and Sunday school teachers who appear
to consider it a perfectly legitimate trick,
excusable because others do it. Some of
these dealei s practice it, I believe, send
ing in later shipments of goods which
come up to the standard required by tiie
ileparments of agriculture, but be
low the standard of their first shipments.
Yet, while such a practice exists, you
can see that there is nothing to prevent a
manufacturer w ho has had an early ship
ment analyzed from sending into the
State afterwards goods much below tiie
department standard.
“But isn’t that a very risky business?”
“Not so much so as you would think.
There may ig; sevefni samples Gi vli©
, stfrffrgootis drawn at different times
during the season, hut tiie first to be
analyzed is the deceptive one, and in all
probability the only one which can i>e
uuaiyzi.d, because with 336 brands to be
inspected there is no time for duplicate
'analyses to be made. Some of these
parties call for early analyses by the State
chemist, and before the season is over
have these officials statements showing a
high grade of goods placed in the hands
ot their agents throughout the Slate, and
the poorest kind of goods can be sold
under them.”
“This interferes with legitimate busi
ness, dosen’t it?”
“Certainly. A man may have good
l average fertilizers honestlv sampled and
analyzed, but when he tries to sell them
he is sometimes confronted with the
higher analyses of inferior goods,
procured in 'he way 1 told you just now
The farmers look carefully to the official
analyses and are guided by them in their
purchases. You see the injustice of
trickery in this matter both to the farmers
and to honest dealers. Why, I have
known parties offer fertilizers for sale at
retail for prices, which, if the analysis
was correct, they could not he bought at
in two thousand ton lots in New York or
Baltimore.”
“How is it in South Carolina?”
“Well, here you have the North Caro
lina plan, which is the only one which
can work well. You have the fertilizers
sampled in places where inspectors are
least expected. Yet i think 1 see evi
dences of attempts to follow the Georgia
plan by early shipments of deceptive
goods. But this cannot succeed to a large
extent.”
“What do you think is the remedy for
this Georgia trouble?”
“To adopt the North Carolina and
South Carolina plan, and to have samples
taken of the same goods through the
season and in various places, and have
these analyzed.”

THE REASON WHY?
General Scleute.
—Why should we seek kuowledgs? Because it
assists us to comprehend the goodness aud power
of God.
—W liy should we use Curry’s Cough (Jure?
Because it alleviates the distressing soreness
and difficult breathing of all spasmodic bron
chial irritations.
—Why do we breathe air? Because the air
contains oxygen, which is necessary to life.
Why do mothers keep constantly pn hand Cur
ry’s Cough Cure? Because they can go to bed
with the assurance that if their little ones are
seized with croup, they have within their reach
a sovereign remedy.
—Why is oxygen necessary to life? Because
it combines with the carbon of the blood and
forms carbonic acid gas.
—Why is Curry’s Liver Compound placed be
fore the people as a blood purifier? Because it
contains the very elements that a tack impure
and effete matter in the blood, and eliminates
or drives them from the system.
Why i3 this combination (C. L. C.) necessary?
Because we arc so ersated that the substances
of our bodies are constantly undergoing change,
and thus revolving pure for impure matter by its
direct alterative effect, is the end necessary.
Why is it proper to have beds raised about two
feet from the ground? Because at night, the
bed-room being closed, the breath of the sleeper
impregnates t|te {fir of the room with carbonic
acid gas, which, descending, lies in its greatest
density near to the floor.
—Why is Curry’s Liver Compound the best
remedy for cold hands aud f<”efc? Because it re
stores to the blood vessels their lost tone and
stimulates active and equal circulation through
out tiie body.
—Why do people feel drowsy in crowded
rooms? Because the large amount of carbonic
acid gas given off with tiie breaths of the people
makes the air poisonous and oppressive.
—Why, therefore, aboitiff every family SSC Cur
vy’s Liver Compound?
Because the excessive impurities thrown off
in breathing is rendered sweet and inocuvusbe
fore leaving the lungs.
—Why do some articles of clothing feel cold
ami others warm? Because some are bad con
ductors of heat and do not draw off much of the
warmth of our bodies; while others are hotter
conductors and take up a large portion of our
warmth.
—Why do a great many remedies occasionally
loom up with a great deni of fuss, only to soon
pass altogether out of notice, and to virtue en
tirely lost? Because they possess little or no
merit, sometimes giving relief for awhile, yet
doing no permanent or lasting good. Curry’s
Liver Compound swes its continued success to
the lasting and efficient action in eradicating
disease.
—Why do we see blocks of ice wrapped in
blankets or flannel in summer time? Because
flannel, being anon-conductor, jpwents the ex
ternal heat from dissolving the ice.
—Why do people with torpid livers yield to
the depressing influences of excessive cold or
heat? Because there is that in the blood winch
is in direct conflict with healthful combustion m
the system—those poisonous enervating elements
are entirely temoved by Curry’s Liver Com
pound.
—Why are hot rolls sent out by the baker
in flannel? Because the flannel being a bad.
conductor does not carry off the beat of the rolls.
—Why should we use Curry’s Liver Compound
in hot weather! Because it relieves the system
of torpidity and infuses new life into our being.
—Why are seeds generally enveloped in hard
cases? Because the coming of the seed, like the
shell of an egg, is designed to preserve the germ.
—Why does everybody expect such good re
sults from vegetable seeds obtained from David
W. Curry? Because he handles only the purest
and freshest, buys only from growers who use
the best measures to preserve their seed from
atmospheric and other hurtful influences. All
the seed soltl by D. W. Curry are guaranteed
true to name, and the best obtainable. Almost
all the leading varieties, especially those used
by most people, of this section of the country are
kept.
—Why does D. W. Curry guarantee to refund
the money to dissatisfied purehacers of curry’s
Liver Compound? Because he well knows the
ingredients will not disappoint him and that
time has established a record upon which he
can stand.
—Why is Curry’s Cough Cure put up in small
and large sizes? Because a small bottle is in
tended to cure a single individual, while fami
lies prefer to keep large bottles on hand.
—Why does it frequently feel warmer after a
frost has set in? Because, in the act of congela
tion a great deal of heat is given out, ami taken
up hy the air.
Why do those who have tested Curry’s
Cough Cure, recommend it as the best remedy of
its .mid? Because it i* perfectly natural to
•"praise the bridge that carries us safely over.”
—Why is it frequently cold when a thaw tak( g
place? Because, in the process of thawing, a
certain amount of heat is withdrawn from the
air, and enters the thawed ice.
—Why do cyclones wander around o'er the
face of the earth with such terrific destructive
ness of late. Answer echoes, why ?
—Why does l). iV. Curry claim that Curry’s
Liver Compound ami Curry’s Cough Cure are
the incomparable remeutes for all diseases for
which they ate icceiw.nended? Because'a crit
ic;;. has ic-ied iheir virtue- and unhes
itatingly pronounce them :he best.
—Why is Curry’s Cough Care such a boautifn
and stable preparation? Because it ii tiie perl
lection of thorough knowledge o the com ponen
parts, and the sc km tide blending of the same.
—Why do we see the sun before sunrise and
after sunset? Because of the refractive effects
of the atmosphere.
Why do physicians recommend Curry’s Liver
Compound? Because l>. W. Curry gives any
regular physician his formula, and they do not
fear to use it—it meets all the indications lor
which it is prepared.
—Curry’s Liver Compound and Curry's Cough
Cure is sold by druggist, and merchants
generally throughout the Southern States.

DEATH OF MYIt A CLARK GAINES.
Myra Clark Gaines was born in New
Orleans about the year 1805. 81ie was
the daughter of Daniel Clark, anu her
mother wasZulitne des Granges,a young
French woman of remarkable beauty,Cite
reputed wife of M. Jerome des Granges,
a Frenchman, said to have been noble by
bit tit, though only a humble shop-keeper
in New Orleans. During his absence in
ijurope, intimate relations were man
tamed between Clark and Mine, des
Granges, about the validity of whose
marriage there was some doubt, her
husband, it was intimated, had another
w ife already iu France. Zulime,while her
husband was abroad, was sent bj Clark
to Philadelphia,with a letter introducing
her to his friend and partner, one C’oxe,
and desiring that she might be provided
with suitable lodgings,medical attendance
and other matters necessary' in sui h cases.
Here her child Caroline was born. Tiie
mother removed to New Orleans where
stie rejoined Des Granges, who apparent
ly knew nothing ol what had occurred.
About t.iiis time lie was arrested for biga
my by the church authorities under the
Spanish laws then iu force in NewOrieans
one Barbara Jean bell having arrived
from France,and claiming to be his wife,
There was even some evidence of a third
Mine. Des Granges, i'iie tribunal,for wan;
of evidence, indefinitely postponed tie
ease. W hether Clark ever man led
Zulime, finding himself free to do s<-,was
the question which affected ail shUm ,an
litigation, it was alleged that he mat t ied
her in Philadelphia in 1792, or p- s.-ibiy
in 1803. At any ra e,another child, Myra,
was born it; New Oi lean- iSOf or 1805 or
1800, at lilt- ii--ii,o oi a iri mi of Clark.
iu 1832 Myra Divis married Mr. VV.
VV. Whitney, of Now Yotk. Tbi-, was
announced in the nev spapei, as tiie
marriage ol Miss daughter of Col.
8. B. Davis.’ Alin c : r marriage -be was
declared,after a leg’! contest, to he the
daughter of Datum * ink. lit r efforts
to obtain "possession of property as tiie
-daughter ol “Clark ied to almost endless
litigation. The value of the properly
claimed was, In ISUi, Colima -o at 8 15,-
000,000; and of tics up i> 187!. rs
Gaines has actually received $6,000,000.
Her persistence, under extraordinary
diffijulties, in tiie prolonged though hot
altogether unprecedented has rarely
been equalled. .She was greatly assisted by
her h us band, GenG at ties, who was devoted
with all tiie chivalry of a soldier, to her
interest. But he died in 1849, and site
was left to right the battles alone. Upon
tiie whole, considering tiie nature of the
testimony, tiie lapse of time and all tech
nical difficulties to be encountered, it is
probable that no suitor who had any
vase at all, ever went into court with a
worse one.
Her battle against injustice and perse
cution was almost a life-long one, but it
ended with victory as the reward of her
wonderful persistence under remarkable
difficulties. Suit after suit wa decided
in her favor, but it was not until a year
or so ago that she succeeded in recovering
a judgment against the city of New
Orleans for property that had been sold
by the corporation to innocent purchasers
There have recently been explosions of
natural gas in the vicinity of Pittsburg,
by which several persons were injured.
This seems strange now that the presi
dential campaign is over.
Claikson wants St. John to sue him for
libel, iii regard to the charge that the
temperance apostle, offerd to sell out to the
Republicans, but up to date St. John
doesn’t seem libel to do so.
The peach crop and the ice crop are
both reported ruined, but, thank good
ness the weevil hasn’t got into the wheat
yet and the potato bug has not started on
his rounds. But they are coming, breth
ren, they are coming.
