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.
HEARD IT TICK.
“Do vou know,’’ said a Sunday
school teacher addressing a new
pupil in the infant class, “that
you have a sou!?*’
“Course I do,” replied the little
fellow, placing his hand over hi
heart; “I can feel it tick.’’ —std-

W!mn the engineer filed the ap- !
