THE FARMER ANDTIiS SEED, At this season of the yem far mers everywhere are preparing fur the crop of the coming sensnu. At the very beginning of this whole process let them c-maider more carefully than they onsicer anything else,the character ot tln seed they are planting Determine in your own mm what kind of a crop you w-mt I you are raising cotton, wlieGn you want long or short staph — early or late. If corn, consider. the corn that is the most pr tit able and get seed of the kind that you want. The faith of the farmer is every year to us a matter of admiration Here he has his capital in his land. To that capital he mu t add his labor. He takes the seen that he has bought ami buries it in the ground, knowing that there it must rot—disintegrate—before there can be any possibility of a return. But so regular are the processes of nature, for so many generations has the seed planted mi ihe earth brought forth abundant <-t .ps that the farmer without hesitation in vests all he lias at tlie l» ,;i i g of the year in the fortunes I I farm on the basis of this pi of nature. Faith is good. Without it work on the farm would come to a standstill; but add works to faith and direct all of your labors wit! intelligence. Begin, therefore, with the care ful selection of the seed, whatever you are going to plant . Do not ; trilie with this important subject. Plant some seed of your own; raising, but it is wise always to j improve your seed by new seed from other, sections, new life, new strains. In selecting your own seed, select the very best of your own products. Discard the faulty or defective. Enough is known now about breeding with animals to make it possible to improve your dairy cows, your horses and your cattle. A like principal applies to vour seed. It is the principal of intelligent selec tion. —Home and Fanil. SOUTHERN GENERALS. , From the Washington Post. The attitude of most of the great, generals of the Confederacy toward slavery is set forth m a recent book, the writer showing j that the men who led the- cai s* had little at stake save print-tph Robert E. Lee, it is asserted never owned a slave, except a fev inherited from his mother all of j whom were emancipated by him ! long before the war. .Gen. Joseph E. Johnson owned none, and re garded the institution unfavor able. Gen. A. P. Hill owned none, and Gen. J. E. B. Stuart inherited one and purchased an other, but disposed of both before the war. Fitzhugh Lee owned none, while Matthew F. Maury owned but one, a woman, who remained m his service some years after the war. Maury said the institution of shivery was a “cu rse.” According to the author, even “Stonewall’ J;o k- n ■> - h but two slaves, u man .ri • man, both of whom he pun : - <1 at their ow I. solicit at inn. them that they could pi. their freedom by saving i wages and reimbursing him t their purchase price. The mai did this but the woman prof i; to remain in the servu-e family. The story strongly supper's those who have ;.l \ i\s contended that the South fought for princi ple rather than the fortunes tied upon slaves. It makes it clear that the generals who led the cause were certainly inspired by anything but selfishness.
