HOW JOHS H. MITC'HKLL HAS

Valuable Snore*!loa.
A News reperter stepped into the
Ordinary’s office and asked Judge
Hammond why he had those ho^se
shoes up over bis door and received
the following reply;
Well, I put them up there to keep
off the vritche*, and for good luck.
Now, I ci^-. iy whether there is!
any snch tbir. as luck, but there
are mat y v- • believe that there is
everyth!; j in it. This class never
seems to be better satisfied than when
they sit and hold their hands, wait
iDg for something to turn up, like
Wilkins Micawber, who bad the
twins, or rather whose wife had the
twins. He was always floating on
the surface of the occasion, and
trusting to the sub! uiity of luck.
No doubt It:*. \ is an elegant
thing provided that it ever comes at
the right time. But the sounder
principle is to make use of those taj
ents with which Providence has en
do wed us, and carve our own way
through surrounding difficulties nn
til we reach the goal set for our at
taiument- N being horn great,
let us Lend f our energies to
one purpose, i with onr strength
and will, achieve greatness rather
than sit passively and trust to luck,
to have greatness thrust upon ns.
1 bet us be up and doing,
With a heart lor every /ate.
Still achievint', still pursuing.
Learn to labor and to wait.’'
These thoughts have been suggest
ed by a visit I made a week ago last
Sunday, to John H Mitchll’s- I
found this gentleman at home with
his family, and my wife and I receiv
ed a most hearty and cordial wel
come and spent a happy day. We
had everything good for dinner and
I tried to do full justice to their
bountiful hospitality and I guess I
did it. Mr. Mitchell is one of our
stirring, active, business farmers,
who lets no grass grow under his
feet. lie always says come on boys
rather than go on. He moves and
bis work moves with him; he does
not wait for luck, but trusts to vim
and energy. He is a practical as
well as an experimental farmer -he
works to utilize everything and
waste nothing.
\fter dinner we were sitting in
his front piazza, smokiDg, and I diB
covered some bees going in and out
of a knot in one of the large oak
trees in front of bis dwelling. This
tree is known to bo over a hundred
years old. I learned that several
years ago a swarm of bees assembled
in that tree as their new home, and
they have lived and worked there
ever since. After they had been
there three years the colony Lad be
come very large and strong and no
attempt had ever been made to rob
them of their honey. \t last Mr.
Mitchell came to the conclusion that
the tree must he full of honey
f
from seeing large numbers of flies
and bees around the root of the tree;
so he set to work to devise^some
means to get the honey without cut
ting tho tree down. After applying
all the tests known to bee men, he
satisfied himself that the tree was
full and then decided to tap it like
a fellow is tapped for dropsy. So
he got him a faucet and an anger
and bored a hole in the tree near the
root amt then screwed in the faucet
and to his surprise and great de
light a solid stream of pare and ele
gant honey as clear as crystal gush
ed forth, and the supply seemed to
be inexhaustible. It continued to
pour out until he had filled six bar
rels; and ho has drawn each vear
since that time from three to four

that old oak tree, and up to this

n J-
The same year that Mr. Mitcheil
tapped the old oak tree, there was a
new thick growth sprung up all
around the old oak of nu unusual
appearance, having a smooth bark
aud thick waxy leaves. Oce day ho
pulled off one of the leaves aud put
it in his mouth and found it to be
very sweet, aud upon examining tuo

to nurse tho new volunteer grow* h
with the tenderesi care and atteu
tion, looking aftc. t.iiem duily; and
as the summer advanced the plants
continued to grow, and in the fall be
selected and transplanted three bun
dreu of them iu very rich soil, thirty
feet apart, and they grew very rapid
ly, making a beautiful display with
their straight, smooth trunks and
their thick and glorsy wax-like
leaves; and the grove was seen and
admired by all for miles and miles
around. Mr, Mitchell’s idea was that
large money was made
from the sugar maple, by boiling the
juice, he ought to mak’e more, from
a tree that would run pure honey,
and he was right. When the trees
were four years old in the fall of the
the year, they were large enough to
insert laucets: So he had three
hundred faucets made to order and
screwed them into the young trees;
and the following spring, the result
was remarkable. Each tree yielded
an average of ten gallons cf the rich¬
est golden honey; the following
year each tree yielded an average of
twenty gallons, and now the average
yield is about a barrel to each tree
during the year; and the grove con
tinues to grow and flourish, and
shows no signs of failing to supply a
bountiful yield in the years to come.
The qua’ity of the honey is so fine
and the flavor is so delicate, that it
always commands the highest prices,
and the demand is greater than the
supply.
If some of those enterprising arte-
sian-well-men, who are always pros
pecting and boring holes in our
county for oil, could succeed in sink

all over this broad country to

But be that as it may,- the uncer¬
tainty of the fruit crop,—the corn
crop,--the wheat crop,— nor the un¬
certainty of the price of cotton,

long as tin se g*lden streams of
sweetness c titinue to flow from these
natural fountains, his prosperity is
assured.
