A MISTAKEN IDEA.
■There is u mistaken idea, preva-
I lent among the youth of this country,
ttint it is a duty, not only to nvenge
hu insult, but to be on alert to
an insult, on any occasion. Many a
deadly duel has been fought and
many a promising life has been sac*
rifieed, because of this over sensitive
notion that a mun must not miss an
opportunity to avenge a fancied
wrong, says the Rome Tribune.
This idea is altogether at variance
with every noble sentiment and every
i> stiuct of reason and common sense.
Every breach of good manners does
not amount to a deadly affront and
neither does every rude remark rise
to the dignity of an insult demand
ing a summary revenge. These mat
ters should be weighed carefully be
fore tbiy are acted upou.
Of course men, young or old, say
and do things, on the impulse of the
moment, that they should not say or
do if given tin e for i t flection. There
fore they should barn to control
tit- ir impulses. It is much easier to
pejpetrnt a wrong than to remedy a
mistake, amt the way to live agrt <
nl ly with your fellow men is to Le
slow to anger cr to resent a fancied
wrong.
He not t v-iron ly to take offense.
Cultivate a spirit of forgiveness and
learn to overlook things that may
worry and annoy for the moment but
the effects of which soi n pass away
and are forgotten. This is mue i
better than to be eternally engaged
n a fend or a wrat gle over some tii-
Mil matter, which ueitler dignity nor
om r demand that you should re
sent.

Successlul Water Mel
on Culture.
The water melon industry in the
South is a peculiar one ; and each
year sets it increasing in volume and
if the season i at all favourable the
water melon crop is one of the best
paying crops the Southern farmer
cau make, as teing specially a cash
crop and c ming in at a lime of the
year between other crops such as the
early truck crops and the main farm
nope, it fills the gap in a very satis
factory manner.
The question is often asked why is
it that the Northern markets never
get the extraordinary sweet and lus
cious water melons you find through
out the home markets of the South ?
The reason of that is that the best
shipping melons and those that will
ship s itisfactorily to the North are
(f an inferior quality ; to get a good
shipping melon it h is to nave a tough
rind, and thick as well, and the real
sugary thin rind melon will not ship
to any distance, but it has been prov
ed by practical demonstration, that
by using potash liberally in the fer
tilization of the so l it sweetens the
melons and tends to toughen and
harden the rind of the most ttiin and
tender varieties, so that there is a
possibility of being ab'e to ship as
far North as we choose even our very
best varieties of this crop.
In this latitude melons for ship -
ping to far away markets have to be
planted the last week of February or
lirst week in March and if a late frost
in March should come along after
the plants are up, we have to cover
them with sacks or p iper, a double
fold of a piece of newspaper held
down by a lit tle soil ut the edges is
ample protection for quite a tew de
grees of frost.
I find a water melon crop dots
best to follow a root crop such as po
tatoes, either Irish or sweet, or to
follow immediately a winter crop of
turnips, carrots or beets, the soil
should be well plowed and just, in
the best condition possible before
planting. Water melons require but
very little nitrogen for a fertilizer as
the vines draw about ull they want
from the atmosphere. A httle cot
ton seed meal for a starter should be
applied, say about one hundred
pounds per acre at the last harrow
ing before planting, also at the same
time not less than four hundred
pounds per acre of sulphate of pot
ash will go far towards making a
satisfactory crop. About a week be
fore planting tune lay off tho land in
checks, eight feet each way is quite
wide enough, in liese checks work
about a shovelful of well rotted sta
ble manure and about a pound of
acid phosphate that analyzes not less
than fourteen per cent of phosphoric
acid, all this has to be well mixed
with the soil in the hill and the hills
left level with the ground, because as
a rule March is a very dry mouth
here and if the hills are raised above
the level they ari opt to get too dry
to sprout the seed good and grow
satisfactorily. My reason for usiug
stable manure at all is that it helps
to warm the soil in the hills and give
the plant, a good send off towade a
successful crop-bearer, in this way
you will observe there is quite a hea
vy application of potash but being in
i the sulphate it goes a long way to
help sweeten the melons and to pre
serve them from rotting or taking
the blackhead, more particularly if it
gets rainy weather before the cop is
ready to market. I have tried Ku'u
lt ami Muriate of Potash but iiud
Sulphate to be decidedly the best,
lviunit and n’t give such a tough and
huid mid, and melons grown with it
me somewhat subject to Black-head.
Muriate gives a tougher and harder
-and iliKti Ivun't but not near
sweet, or sugary a* the sulphate gives
A great many growers use cotton
seed meal exclusively ; this may do
uu seme soils particularly where
there is lime iu its composition, or it
the previous crops had been well
dosed with Potash, us it is very sel
dom that the crop that it is used tor
takes all the IMash giveu it, and that
is one extraordinary good poiut in
I tne use oi l’otasb, that it stays right
there in the soil waiting to bo called
up for some future crop, but if there
is no I'otasu in the soil, a crop of wa
tei melons made with cotton seed
menl will net ripen a third of its bids,
the other two thirds will rot before
they get full grown ; but iu growing
1 wut'. r melons to perfection ode has
'gut to know the nature of his soil,
| what it contains of the three neces
[ sary elemeuts, nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and Potash, particuluily potash,
und whatever is deficient for the sue
cess ot tin crop has got to be adde i
in the most available form possible.
Cn old laud rich iu humus andorgau
ic mut.tr. Potash sweetens the soil
aud the result is a sweeter product
let it be a water melon or anything
else. Our Warm sandy soils of the
South being deficient iu lime and rich
in saccharine matter is preeminently
the home of luscious auu sweet fruit
and vegetables of ail kinds.
I find the longer I goou usiug aud
experimenting with potash of all
kinds, the better 1 like it and when I
hear (as I often do) people say that
“this Potash crazs” as
“is all nonsense,” and that just as
good crops were made before Potash
was ever heard of a6 there is made
with it. I know for a fact that tho j e
people who speak thus nev r proper
ly tested it or tbev would talk in a
different su-am. Potash as a fertili
zer has come to stay', and in proof
we find its use yearly largely on the
increase, and in a very few years the
Farmer and Ti uit Grower who wdl
not use Potash iu one shspe or other
will have to take a back-seat, a his
products wdl be so much inferior
that no one will pitroeize him.

About Politics,
I noticed in the last iscue cf vonr
paper that, one of the prominent an and
intelligent citiz ns of Pike county ; s
reported as saying that h ■ hd be
come and sgusted with politics, and
almost decided that he would Dever
vote again.
I am not* surprised to hear such
language from a man of integrity and
refinement. I cannot doubt for a
moment that there are thousands of
goo 1 and intelligent men in our coun
try who have long siuce become dis
g isted with the harangues and an
gry speeches, in and out of congress
on the currency question.
lam w<dl pleised with the plat
form of Col. I’. R. Mills, of Spalding
county. He favors honest money,
and so do I, and that a dollar,wheth
er of silver or gold, should be woith
100 cents, and that a gold dollar
should be worth no more and no les
than a silver dollar. 1 heartily indorse
Col. Mills when he says that he does
not believe it right to discriminate
against either metal, and that so long
as silver dollars can be made in vel
lie equal to gold dollars the same
should be coined by the government.
I remember that. Alexander Bamil
ton, one of the ablest financiers that
this or any other country has ever
produced, said, on a very important
occasion, that to contract the curren
cy of any country meant poverty and
suffering. Now is it a fact that our
congress is utterly unable to approx
innate to the amount or volume of
money needed to transact the busi
ness of our country ?
An editor of a Boston paper said
not long since that he verily wished
that there was a Darnel Webster in
the United .States Congress. Let
me right here respond to the Bos
ton editor by saying amen, and that
it would be well to have a Henry
Clay, too, that the united efforts of
the intellectual gianis might, as in
goneby days bring about a reconcilia
tion between hostile parties touching
the vexed question which lias so long
been agitated, anil upou which our
leading men have divided.
In conclusion 1 will venture to say
that we need a few more men in Con
gress who are larger than a poluicul
party. I feel a greater solicitude for
the welfare and prosperity of my
country than I do for the success of
any political party.
