Tho year of 1892 has nearly passed
away, and as we take a retrospective
view of our lalmrs. our successes and
our defeats for this year we find much
food for earnest thought. It isonr dntv
to consider and weigh well the grave
responsibilities which surround us. and
in making u
arrangements for another
ask ourselves if our efforts have
been conducted ou the right lines? Have
we conducted our farms on common
business principles? Have we

trained and disciplined, pushed the ex*
hausting process to snch a degree, and
the consequences of our following this
destructive policy are so serions that
today we find ourselves confronted by
conditions which we innst meet ana
conqnor or own ourselves defeated.
These unsatisfactory methods, do not
meet the demands of our more - enlight

standpoint, and* with hired labor they
are absolutely ruinous.

more furious waxed the firing all
around. About the opera house it was
especially fierce. 1 hail glimpses of
fighting at close quarters in the open
space before its rear front, and I could
discern men shuffling along behind the
low parapet of its roof. They carried
packs, but I could not see their
breeches, and was not therefore wholly
certain that they were Versalllists. A
woman had joined me in my position
behind the gable — a woman who
seemed to havo a charmed life. Over
and over again she walked out into the
fire, looked deliberately about her, and
came back to recount to me with ex
cited volubility the particulars of what
she had seen. She was convinced the
soldiers on ths roof were Versaillists;
yet, as I pointed out to her, thedrapeau
rouge still waved above the statue on
the summit of the lofty building. The
people of the hotel in our rear clearly
shared her belief. Gathered timidly in

movements with its head. The dog’i
eyes were constantly directed toward
the snake's eyes.
After a time the movement of the
Furious and • snake’s head from side to side grew
slower. It seemed to have In-come
fused or dizzy from the continued exer
cise. With a quick spring the dog
seized the snake’s neck close to the
head and bit it viciously. He continued
biting the snake along the spinal cord
from neck to tail, the first bite having
practically ended the snake's life.
When the dead reptile was swung to
and fro from the bars of the dog’s cage
the animal tried to ward it off with hit
fore feet. These actions convinced the
officer that the dog appreciated the
dangerous qualities of the snake.
This observer also thought that
snakes did not strike adult dogs when
living with them, because the boles
were too small to maneuver in.

There is a curious idea lingering in
some places that when the death of a
person is imminent the fastening of the
doors of the room or house hinders pain
fully the departure of the soul from the
body. Take an instance or two. A
gentleman, writing forty years ago,
has stated that when he was curate in
Exeter, he called upon a parishioner
who was on his deathbed. The wife
told him that she thought her husband
would have died during the previoua
night, and that consequently she hail
unfastened every lock in the house.
The same idea prevails in the north as
well as in the west and southwest of
England. In partial connection with
this custom it is interesting to note that
the Jews at Gibraltar, on a death oc
curring at any house of theirs, pour
away all the water contained therein,
on the supposition that the angel of
death may have washed his sword in it.

The present condition of the -cdftnn
market is sufficient proof of the number
able laws of “supply ami demand.” Tlic
theory that we cannot produce tubuiurh
cotton is entirely exploded by the -ex
periences of 1891 and 1892. In '9l wc
produced the biggest crop on record.,
and the price fell far below the cost pro
duction, and many farmers.^ more
especially those who leuight their pro
visions are yet straggling to pay off the
•bligations incurred in making that
crop. In *92 by reason of reduced

We cannot continue indefinitely to draw
plant food from the soil, and expect that
■oil to remain in fruitful condition.
Taking even a small quantity each year
wears ont and depletes, and while this
depletion may not be aotfcMhle at the
■tart, a gradual reduction both,, m the
plant growth and yield of fruit .must
take place, and each succeeding year
marks a lancer decrease in the produc
tive power of the land. Let ns illus
trate; When a cotton planter puts hi*
usual 200 ponnds of fertilizer to th.
acre, he has among other elements pot
in 4 ponnds of ammonia. «id when lie
realizrfthis usual acreage of one-third of
a bale to the acre, he has removed fnmi
the soil iu the seed alone. 12 i*«uud» of
ammonia. In other words he each
year takes off in the seed alone 8 pounds
more of ammonia than be supplies, and
the land has to make np the deficit.
Ceuld there be stronger argument
against our present methods. '
today reaping tho lienefit from tbei
wise forethought, lint unfortunate)j
they are the exception. The talk th»
cotton has gone ont of the hands of the
fanners, and they are compelled to-aee
their crop, the resnlt of mnch anxious
thought and weary toil, enriching others
instead of themselves. I/efr* ate urge
you in planning your crop* for to to
rememiier that when we glut the mar
kets of the world. we have to accept
gnch prices as the bnyer sees fit to givf,
bnt whe* we have onr snpplie# ami a
cotton iViip jnst sufficient to meet the d^
mand* of trade, we can. to a certain
extent, dictate the price. Don t allow
yourselves to be altered into false meth’-
oda by the present high i*rice of cotton.
This will he my last talk with the
fanners liefore the opening of the new
tear. May they realize the grave re
sponsibilities which it brings, and by a
wise and careful policy, use its oppor
tunities to their own best advantage. *
