Proper l sc of Fertilizers—Time to Clear
Land—Oats, Clover and Clrass—Poultry
Notes, iVc.
The proper use of fertilizers is no less
important than the judicious purchase
of them. Manuring heavily pays best,
because manure makes labor, and every
thing else used in produce i in producing
a crop, yields larger returns. But heavy
manuring must be judiciously done; it is
bv no means free from danger. Poor,
thin land, destitute of vegetable matter,
will not take heavy manuring kindly;
neither will a soil that is not or cannot
be kept in good tilth a fit recipient of
heavy doses of manure. Asa rule, the
best lands on a farm are those on which
heavy manuring pays best. Of course
there is a limit; heavy manuring is not
to be advised on land that will make
seventy-five bushels of corn, or forty
bushels of wheat, or one bale of cotton
per acre, but such land is not common ;
we mean the best land on ordinary
farms. If a farmer, who is in the habit
of cultivating fifty acres in cotton and
corn, manuring moderately, would select
twenty-five of his best acres and double
the manure on them, he would clear
more money. His land, too, would
steadily improve and become capable of
receiving heavier doses of manure every
year. See the saving : half the labor,
half the number of plow animals, half
the number of plows and other tools,
half the smith bill, keep land filled wit .
humus, break deep and cultivate well,
and you will never be able to gather up
toe much compost vo put upon it. Ap
ply heavy doses of ammoniated guanos
on poor, thin land, destitute of humus,
shallow broken and poorly cultivated,
and you may exhaust your vocabulary
in abuse of guano, but it should legiti
mately have fallen on your own folly and
lack of judgment. To sum up what has
been said: conduct business on a smaller
scale, avoid crops requiring much labor,
especially cotton, never raise a money
crop to buy provisions, or mules, horses
or any other needed thing which can be
raised at home at reasonable cost. Jf
badly encumbered with debt, sell out or
surrender property and make anew
st rt; rent a one-horse farm, by diligence
and economy you will soon be able to
buy it. Make and save all the manure
you can and buy acid phosphate to com
post with it. Never buy ammoniated
goods; plant the best spots of land,
manure these heavily and cultivate well;
sow down surplus land in oats or gras*,
or if too badly worn, give it rest. Get
out of the treadmill of raising cotton to
buy corn, to raise more cotton to buy
more com.
Fertilizer for Cotton.
The analysis of some North Carolina
phosphate rock is sixty per cent, carbon
ate lime, per ton, sixteen to twenty per
cent, phosphate of lime, one-half potash.
What quantities of cotton seed meal,
acid phosphate, kainit and the North
Carolina phosphate will be necessary to
apply to apply to a light soil, four to six
inches to the stiff red clay, to produce 25
bushels of oats, or 1,200 pounds seed cot
ton on an acre, The land has not been
cultivated since ’B3, when it produced
100 pounds without any manure. The
land has on it now a heavy coat of crab
grass and iron weeds.
Answer. —Cannot tell just what
amount of fertilizer will produce a given
crop. The following amounts per acre
ought to bring good results : North Car
olina phosphate, 200 pounds; acid phos
phate, 150 pounds; kainit, 100 pounds,
and cotton seed meal, 50 pounds.
Time to I lear Land.
The season at which land is cleared
has little or no influence on its pro
ductiveness. There are a great many
vague ideas afloat about rising and falling
oi. the sap. After sap rbes—which is
constantly going on during the growing
season—there is no return to the soil
again, except as the leaves, which have
appropriated some of the matter in sap,
die and fall to the ground. August is a
convenient season tor such work, and the
further advantage results that trees cut
down at that season are less liable to
sprout the next spring. Instead of cut
ting and piling at once, it is better to
cut and trim and let every thing lie
broad cast on the land to shade it, and
irive the leaves an opportunity to drop
off all over the land and be plowed in
when it is broken. Burning off land is
shortsighted policy; it destroys humus
which will be sadly needed in a few
years. If the land be hilly, the biush
can be gotten rid of by running lines of
level, as in terracing, and laying the
brush along these lines as breakwaters.
Outs,
It is advisable to sow some oats this
month ; it will give another chance at
this valuable crop, though quite liable to
be cut off by drouth. But it is a good
and safe rale for a farmer to take all the
chances he can. A s spring oats tiller
very little, they should be seeded pretty
thickly, and as they have to make in
a very short time, they ought to be
manured well. Ail quick growing crops
call for food easily and quickly obtain
able ; they can’t wait. The Burt is
considered a good spring oat; it matures
very early, but is not so heavy as the
rust-proof, and, upon the whole, we
would rather trust a good strain of the
latter.
Clover and tJrnMw.
These may be sown about this time,
and preparations for them is in order.
As these crops occupy the land for seme
years, it ought to be thoroughly broken
and brought to the finest tilth. Clover
calls for lime and potash ; grass needs
these with the addition of nitrogen.
Barnyard mauure is good for both, ag it
contains all the elements needed by
plants. Seed heaviiy and brush it
lightly. Stiff soils are best suited to
both of these crops, but the tall meadow
oat will do well on pretty light soils.
Wherever grass can be successfully
grown it is an unusually valuable crop,
under existing citcumstances, because it
calls for so little labor. A well estab
lished field of orchard Blue grass will
last twenty years or more and stock will
do all the harvesting; an occasional top
dressing the only outlay required.
Poultry Notes.
Now is the time to buy breeding
stock, especially if you are to buy from
the North. It will never do to bring
stock from the North down in our ex
treme .Southern Kates only at this season
of the year, and then even the risk is
something.

An Ant-Eater’s Tongue.
Three ant-eaters have recently been
added to the collection of wild animals
in the Zoological Gardens, and they
have since been an object of carious
interest to visitors. They are very
powerful animals of large size and
strange shape. The most remarkable
portion of them is their taper
nose and long cylindrical tongue. The
latter member, which is about a foot
and a half long, is capable of being
considerably distended, a change
which usually takes place when the
animal is in search of the insect food
upon which it principally subsists.
Last Wednesday one of the ant-eat
ers, in search of ants, protruded its
tongue through a knot-hole in the par
tition which separated it from a vic
ious hyena. The hyena was looking
languidly at the partition at the time
the long red tongue darted into his
lair and beat the air in search of in
sects. A sudden spring, and the hy
ena had embedded his fangs in the ant
eafer’s tongue. The latter howled in
pain. The lions, tigers and other ani
mals, hearing the cry of distress, howl
ed in chorus, and the air was filled
with unearthly sounds. A fearful
struggle took place between the ant
destroyer and hyena. The former
sought to get his tongue out of the
horrible chancery; the latter strove in
vain to drag his huge victim through
the small hole. Finally, becoming ex
asperated, the hyena closed his jaws
and severed the tongue of the bear at
the roots, taking a portion of the taper
snout with it. Both pieces of flesh
were swallowed immediately by the
ravenous beast. The blood gushed
forth in a copious stream, and the hy
ena lapped it up greedily as it flowed
along the boards. The cries of the
ant bear were pitiful At times it
groaned with pain; at others it seemed
to cry with grief at the loss of Its nat
ural means of supplying itself with
food. The keeper was notified of the
occurrence. He succeeded in stopping
the bleeding, and the wound is healing.
A few years ago the same hyena bit
off a portion of the keeper’s hand
while he was leaning against its cage.

Early Impressions.
It is a very important fact, and one
never to be lost sight of by mothers,
that the education of an infant begins
at birth. The moral atmosphere by
which it is surrounded will, in a great
measure, determine its future chrarac
ter. Parents often do and say things
in the sight and hearing of little chil
dren which they would be ashamed of
in the presence of an older peisun.
Every outburst of temper, every peev
ish or fretful word, is photographed
upon the mental constitution of the
child, never to be effaced, although, of
course, after-training may modify the
impression. It is not to be wondered
at that mothers worn down with a
weight of care and overwork are some
times fretfu4 but if they would remem
ber that every hasty word in Baby’s
presence must come back to them in a
still greater weight of care, perhaps
they would exercise a higher degree
of self-control
TRIED FOR DESERTION.
A Young Officer’s Trial and
Undeserved Sentence.
A Pleasing Swim that Resulted in a Con
demnation to be Shot
T. F. Galway tells the story of the
war in the New York Tribune'. Late
in May, 1863, a lieutenant, who had
been seriously wounded at the battle
of Fredericksburg, and, after some
weeks spent in hospital and at home,
had returned to his regiment in camp
near Falmouth, was one warm day
swimming in the Rappahannock. The
Union and Confederate picket lines on
the opposite banks of the river had for
weeks been observing a tacit truce.
Friendly conversation went on between
the two and exchanges were made of
coffee, tobacco, whiskey and newspa
pers by means of little craft with sails
trimmed in such a way as to carry
them to and fro across the river. As
the warm season drew on men on both
sides undressed and swam and floated
and cut up tricks in the water with
out any harm from the other side.
Swimmers from both sides used even
to meet at a great rock in the mid
dle of the river near the mill-dam
above Falmouth. The lieutenant,
whom I will call Lieutenant X., was a
fine swimmer and was enjoying him
self to the utmost in the water. It
happened that the captain in com
mand of the Union picket line along
there was an enemy of Lieutenant X.
The lieutenant was ordered to come
out of the water, but as he was kick
ing up his heels at the time and amus
ing himself in the foam, he did not
hear until he had been repeatedly sum
moned. Then he came out and was
immediately arrested. Charges were
laid against him of attempted desertion
to the enemy. Lieutenant X., laughed
at this; it was very absurd. But he
soon began to realize that it was no
laughing matter; all the facts were
against him. At the general court
martial which tried him his honorable
personal character, his efficiency as an
officer and his bravery in battle proved,
but as he was not permitted to in
troduce evidence as to the animus of
the officer who had caused his arrest
and was the principal witness against
him, he was convicted and was sen
enced, according to the articles of
war, to be “shot to de?*th by muske
try.” Following the routine, the sen
tence was submitted first to the gener
al of the division by whom it was
“forwarded, approved,” to the corps
commander, who likewise approved
the sentence and sent it up to the
army headquarters. In the meantime
a relative of the unlucky lieutenant,
an officer in another command, had
recourse to General Sedgwick, under
whom this relative had served in Mex
ico. That fine old general was con
vinced that, though technically the
evidence was against the condemned
officer, nevertheless he was innocent of
any intention of deserting and of any
evil intention whatever; the lieutenant
had merely been indiscreet as an officer
to go into the water at all. In tlie
meantime the sentence had been ap
proved by the general commanding
the army and had been sent on to the
President. There Sedgwick’s repre
sentations prevented a horrible injus
tice. The lieutenant, a victim of a
superior officer’s malice, was allowed
to resign. But it was a narrow es
cape.
Hints About Horses.
Bad driving will often fatally injure
a horse in a few miles; while skillful
driving would make the journey in
less time and leave the horse as fresh
as when he started. Drive slow when
the animal is full of food and water;
but after the muscles are limbered and
the system emptied, increase the speed.
Then check up and let the horse cool off
before stopping, and there will be less
danger of taking cold and of stiff mus
cles and less necessity for rubbing down;
and make good time on level ground and
on moderate descents. Never keep
the same gait and speed for a long
time, for a change of gait is equivalent
to a rest.
Never ride a horse without first
making his acquaintance and securing
his good will. Go to his head, speak
kind, pat him, look him in the eyes.
Whether you are a friend or foe, he
will judge by your voice, your eye and
your breath. Horses judge a man as
quickly as a man does a horse. Feed
and water abundantly at night after
work and the animal has had time to
rest and cool off. Feed moderately in
the morning or before work. Partha
ins and Arabs prepare their horses for
hard drives by fasting rather than
feasting. More horses are injured by
hard driving on a full stomach than
by any process. Never let a horse
eat or drink much when it is hot from
work. Study youi horse, treat it ac
ceding to its natun . ■■ i} ' it your

How to c**.— 4 tramps.
Col. John P, I'or t, of South-Wes;ern
Jeoigia can fairly claim to be one of the
benefactors of the race. He has discov
ered a method by which swampy and bog
land can be drained at small expense.
His very simple process will give to farm
ers ten millions of acres of land that were
vorse than useless for they are the seats
of malarial disorders. Col. Fort simply
digs or drives a hole into the earth at the
point in his submerged lands that is deep*
est. He goes to work in the same way as oil
wells or artesian wells are opened up.
A descending drill always meets subterra
nean channels into which the water will
flow if the hole is kept cleared. On one
of his great swamp-farms may be seen
two apertures in the earth. One sucking
up the stagnant water of the swamp, the
other spouting up sweet, clear water
from a strata far below. On Col. Fort’s
farm these wells are only two hundred
feet apart Heretofore, it has been sup
posed that the only way to drain swampy
land was to build ditches and lay under
ground pipes to convey the water to a
distance, and yet the cess-pool might
have given a hint of how superfluous
surface water might be removed. Far
mers who own large quanities of swampy
1 and would do well to try this experi
ment, and perhaps they will find that
they not only can get rid of malaria, but
ome into possesssion of wonderfully
ertile farm lands far superior to ordi
nary soil.
How Wealth is Created.
In no era of the world has wealth been
created so rapidly aa during the last
thirty years. With our forefathers, land
was the foundation of ail riches, but in
this modern era corporate ownership de*
velops the largest accumulations. - Th
telephone companies furnish a case ic
point. One of these, for instance, wai
organized with a capital of $1, 00c,000.
The hundred dollar shares at first sold
below $25, but rapidly advanced tc
SI,OOO. Then an additional $9,000,000
was put on the market, and subsequently
the capitalization was increased to $20,-
000,000. The hundred dollar shares oi
this company are quoted at $175 which
means that the possessor of one of the orig
oal shares for which $25 was paid has
not only received in dividends many
'imes the amount of purchase-money,
but actually owns stock to the amount oi
$3,500, or $l3O for every dollar originally
invested. There are quite a number oi
telephone companies in which the stock
holders have done equally well. All
over the country will be found rich men
who have made their fortunes in corpo
rate investments of this character.

Should We Eat Before Sleeping 1
Among the novelties suggested by
certain physicians is a recommendation
to eat before retiring at night. At first
the sleep will be heavy and the dreams
disturbed; but eventually, it is claimed
a full Btomach will cause drowsineas and
the food will digest better. The blood, it
is argued, being drawn to the stomach,
incites to slumber, because the pressure
upon the brain is thereby relieved. Ac
tors, it is said, eat heartily after a pre
formance and find it advantageous to
do so. Our English progenitors in a past
generation partook of late and heavy
suppers, and lived quite as long as their
decendants. Late dinners are still the
custom in England, and then in hot
countries it is always the custom to take
a siesta after a heavy mid-day meal.
Animals generally sleep after eating. It
is doubtful, however, if these theories
will succeed in changing the habits of
the American people. Outside of the
large cities the mid-dav meal is the
principle one, and the supper, or tea, is
partaken of several hours before retiring.

better follow the customs of a life-time

A QUESTION ABOUT
Browns Iron
Bitters
ANSWERED.
The question has probably been asked thousands
of times, “ How can Brown’s Iron Bitters cure every
thing ? ” Well, it doesn’t. But it does cure any disease
for which a reputable physician would prescribe IRON
Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative
agent. known to the profession, and inquiry of any
leading chemical firm will substantiate the assertion
that there are more preparations of iron than of any
other substance used in medicine. This shows con
clusively that iron is acknowledged to be the most
important factor in successful medical practice. It is,
however, a remarkable fact, that prior to the discov
ery of BROWN’S IRON BITTERS no perfect
ly satisfactory iron combination had ever been found.

Royal Authors.
One of the most significant signs of the
times is the disposition of monarchs to
achieve distinction in art, letters, or sci
ence. Louis Napoleon IIL wrote a life
of Csßsar, Queen Victoria has published
several works in her own name, and now
the Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria ia
the author of a scientific work, which, it
is expected, will create a furor. The
Crown Prince has already mastered ten
languages. He has traveled over Europe
and a part of Asia and Africa. Al
though a Roman Catholic in religion,
in matters of science he is an evolutionist.
Travelers in the old world are struck
with the fact that the rulers recognize
their duty to the community, iheir
palaces are now the property of the pub
lic. Their art galleries and collections
are schools for the education of public
taste. Time was when the monarch was
everything and the people nothing, but
now the former recognizes that he is the
servant, not the master of his people.—

It is some satisfaction to argue with
the man who owns a grab mortgage on
your homestead. He is always ready
to accept your premises.
WHAT
WARNER’S SAFE CURE
CURES AND WHY.
CONGESTION OF THE'KIDNEYS, BACK ACHE
INFLAMMATION OF THE KID
NEYS, BLADDER OR URIN
ARY ORGANS.
Catarrh of the Bladder, Gravel,
Stone, Dropsy, Enlarged Pros
trate Gland, Impotency
or General Debility,
Bright’s Disease.
WHY? Because it is the only remedy
known that has power to expel the
uric acid and urea, of which there are
some 500 grains secreted each day as the re
sult of muscular action, and sufficient if re
tained in the blood to kill six men. It is
the direct cause of all the above diseases, as
well as of Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Apo
plexy, Paralysis, Insanity and Death.
This great specific relieves the kidneys of
too much blood, frees them from all irritants,
restores them to healthy action by its certain
and soothing power.
IT CURES ALSO Jaundice, En
largement of the Liver, Abscess and Catarrh
of the Bile Ducts, Biliousness, Headache,
Furred Tongue, Sleeplessness, Languor, De
bility, Constipation, Gall Stones, and every
unpleasant symptom which results from liver
complaint.
WHY? Because it has a specific and
positive action on the liver as well as on
the kidneys, increasing the secretion and
flow of bile, regulates its elaborating func
tion, removes unhealthful formations, and,
in a word, restores it to natural activity,
without which health is an Impossibility.
IT CURES ALSO Female Com
plaints, Leucorrhoea, Displacements, En
largements, Ulcerations, Painful Menstrua
tion, makes Pregnancy safe, prevents Convul
sions and Child-Bed Fever and aids nature by
restoring functional activity.
WHY? All these troubles, as is well
known by every physician of education,
arise from congestion and impaired kid
ney action, causing stagnation of the blood
vessels and breaking down, and this is the
beginning and the direct cause of all the ail
ments from which women suffer, and must
as surely follow as night does the day.
WHY Warner’s Safe Cure is acknowl
edged by thousands of our best medical men
to be the only true blood purifier, is because
it acts upon scientific principles, striking at
the very root of the disorder by its action on
the kidney and liver. For, if these or
gans were kept in health all the mor
bid waste matter so deadly poisonous
if retained in the body, is passed out.
On the contrary, if they are deranged, the
acids are taken up by the blood, de
composing it and carrying death to
the most remote part of the body.
WHY 93 per cent, of all diseases which
afflict 'humanity, arise from impaired kid
neys, is shown'by medical authorities. War
ner’s Safe Cure, by its direct action, positively
restores them to health and full working ca
pacity, nature curing all the above
diseases herself when the cause is re
moved, and we guarantee that Warner’s
Safe Cure is a positive preventive if taken in
time.
As you value health take it to avoid
sickness, as it will at all times and under
all circumstances keep all the vital functions
up to par.
We also Guarantee a Cure and bene
ficial effect for each of the foregoing diseases,
also that every case of Liver and Kidney
trouble can be cured where degeneration has
Not taken place, and even then Benefit will
Surely be Derived. In every instance it has
established its claim.
AS A BLOOD PURIFIER,
particularly in the Spring, it is unequalled,
for you cannot have pure blood when the
kidneys or liver are out of order.
Look to your condition at once.
Do not postpone treatment for a day nor an
hour. The doctors cannot compare
records with us. Give yourself thorough
constitutional treatment with Warner’s Safe
Cure, and there are yet many years of life
and health assured you!
