and pocket nerves of the owners.
It is true that a few men here
and there have managed large
farms successfully under the large
plantation system, but they are the
exceptions. As a general rule the
large farm system has been a fail
ure, and has tended to bankrupt
the owners.
On the contrary', the one, two
and three-horse farms, when in
dustry, energy and fair manage
ment have been displayed, have
been fairly remunerative and
proven to be reasonably success
ful, where the farmer owned the
land.
We admit that the one, two and
three-horse farms where managed
and controlled by tenants, have
not proveD a success. And there
is good reason why they have not.
The tenant has no prospective, no
future, but only a present interest
in the farm he manages, and hence
has nothing bnt a present incent
ive to skillful management of the
faim, and therefore becomes an
exhauster instead of a rebuilder of
a rebuilder of the soil. In short,
he works for the present, which
means for self, and looks not to
the future of the farm he is till-
Therefore the question confront
ing the agricultural people of this
country now, and that must be de
cided, and that ought to be de
cided wisely, is, which is the bet
ter for the whole country, to be
filled up with large farms and with
tenants who have nothing but a
present intez-est in the lands, or to
have it filled with what is usually
denominated small land owners,
who have both a.present and a fu
ture in the lands?
What class of farmers would the
sooner and more readily bring
prosperity to all businesses, to all
homes, and to the whole country?
Which of the two classes would
more readily restore to thrift and
productiveness the waste and idle
lands that are now hanging as a
tax burden upon the shonlders of
the owners?
If any reader becomes involved
in doubt in making up his decis
ion on these questions, let him go
to the communities or neighbor
hoods composed of small land
owners, and his doubts will at
once be dispelled.
Mercury autl Calomel.
Injudicious use of mercury in
the form of calomel, or otherwise,
leaves' very injurious after effects.
Much of the distress that afflicts
humanity is due to a too persist
ent use of this poison. The various
functions of the body become im
paired by its use, and even the
bones become affected, causing
aches and a general debility and
distress. Any one who has used
mercury or calomel in any of its
forms will do well to follow it np
with a use of Dr. Bull’s Sarsapa
rilla: This excellent alterative
counteracts the evil effects of mer
cury and other mineral poisons. It
is composed of strictly vegetable
ingredients, aud tfiere is nothing
in its composition that will harm
the most delicate. Good health
invariably follows its use.

tention to raising stock, chiefly cat
tle, enough say, to furnish stall
manure which, when composted
with Acid Phosphate and Kauit,
will make the land produce a bale
to the acre? If so, you are in fa
vor of devoting a portion of the
farm to the cultivation of grasses:
then what portion of a 400 acre
farm one half of which is in culti
vation, should be devoted to a per
manent pasture of Bermuda and
Texas Blue grass, and how much
should be set in some hay making
grass?
I notice that you recommend
Johson grass for hay. Would
there not be danger of spreading it
over oni fields by means of undi
gested seeds, if the droppings
from cattle fed on this grass were
applied either in the form of a
comnost or no?
Your advice on these points will
be greatly appreciated.
H. W., Iva, S. C.
Answer—1. We have uniform
ly, and for many yeai’s, insisted
that farmers devote more attention
to stock growing and grass culture,
believing that these are the foun
dation of permanently successful
agriculture, la any country. But
the business of stock growing must
be followed with reference to the
direct as well as the incidental
profits. A farmer is still “joined
to his idols” who proposes to make
every operation of the farm con
duce to the one single idea of in
creasing the productiveness of the
land in cotton. The means used
to increase the fertility of the soil'
must be, in the main, profitable in
themselves. The idea shonld be
to develop other sources of income
than the cotton crop while at the
same time the yield of the land in
cotton will be increased.
It is not practicable to indicate
a specific rule for dividing np the
crops as suggested; but on a farm
of 200 acres iu cultivation we
would suggest that fifty acres
would not be too much for a per-
maneut pasture, and say, twenty
to thirty acres in meadow, includ
ing soiling and forage crops, the
remainder to be devoted to corn,
small grain and cotton. Better
start on a small scale, both in
grass and stock, in raising the one
or the other, or both, as circum
stances seem to indicate.
There is a great danger of John
son grass spreading. To prevent
this: L Sow the grass on land
that you are willing to devote to
the purpose. Then (2) do not let
it go to seed. It is very diffcult
to get rid of Johnson grass when
once well set on land.

The eccentric person was John j j-b^t a few special classes favor the

wealth is estimated at fabulous biIlj but is in reality a high pro-
amounts. He is rated to be worth
840,000,000 to 8100,000,000, yet he
was seated in a porter’s chair in
the Pacific yesterday scrubbing
his hat as if he could never get
another. While Mr. Blair spends
little money on himself, but he is
quite generous to others, and many
kind deeds of charity are' credited
to his worldly account. He is a
remarkable man, for, although S8
years old, he presents the appear
ance of one of 60, and accomplish
es twice as much as most young
men, His business career was be
gun so long ago that the present
generation does not know him well.
He built the greater portion of the
Laekawana road, investing his owd
money and keeping every dollar of
his securities. When Scranton
was a wilderness he bought land
iu and around the place, and saw
it grow from nothing to a city 6f
100,000 people. Mr. Blair built
and now owns half the roads in
Iowa. The town of Blairsville, Y.
J., is owned by him. Of late years
he has made an immense amount
of money in the. west. He would
lay out the route oE a new road,
mark the town sites along, the
line, and buy up all the good land
before the people knew of the line
of road. When the towns sprang
up Mr. Blair had all the lots for
sale.
What Is a Good Book?
A good book is one that inter
ests you.
One in which the bright rather
than the dark side of life is shown.
One that makes you see how
mean are the vices of life and how
despicable aie the great sins.
One that glorifies virtue in wo
man and honor in man.
One in which the good are re
warded and the wicked are made
to suffer—suffering, by the by,
that may be of the conscience—or
in a more material way, a reward
given either on earth or promised
for the future.
One'which convinces you that
this world is filled with good men
and good women.
One that breathes forth the
goodness of a Creator, and re-
speects his all governing laws.
One that makes yon feel yon are
meeting real people—people who

A Purely Vegetable Remedy,
A good story comes from the
Pension office at Washington, vie
the Chicago Yews: Some time ago
a claimant for a pension submitted
an affidavit from a physician at
Duluth, testifying to his disability,
aud to the fact that it was the re
sult of his service daring the war.
A few days ago the case came up,
when a letter was written to tbe
postmaster at Duluth asking
whether the doctor was a regular
practitioner and a man of honor
and veracity. The reply came yes
terday, in which the postmaster
said that he had spent his entire
life with the physician in ques
tion, and believed him to be a man
of good character. During his
youth, unlike George Washington,
he had told some falsehoods, but
had been soundly whipped for
them, and had learned better;
therefore, in his old age, he was
able to stick to facts as well as
any citizen. Then he' signed his
name, which wa sthe same as that
of the physician, and it appears
that the postmaster and the phys
ician are one and the same per
son.
A new cure for stammering has

tective system. The masses every
where are against it.
The Yew York Evening Post
suggests that if republican wisdom
is not equal to the task of framing
a judicious tariff it would be a good
policy to let the matter alone. The
present tariff with its average dn-
ties of fifty per cent would be far
less injurious to the country than
a reckless system under which
some of the duties would jump
from foily-five to three hundred
per cent.
The McKinley bill is simply in
defensible. Oar legislative annals
do not furnish an instance of i
bolder attempt to run the govern
ment- in the interest of the classes
and against the masses.
Our only safety is in going back
to the good old democratic policy—
a tariff to raise the revenue need
ed for the economical expenses of
the government, with the duties
so laid as to prevent the cheap la
bor of Europe from crushing the
industries which are necessary to
our existence as an independent

On Feb. 14th, 1SS9, occurred the'
St. George disaster on the Grand
Trunk Railway. There were
eighteen killed and injured. Ac
tions were brought to recover
damages aggregating 8300,000.
To simplify and expedite litiga
tion counsel agreed Ip make a test
case. The feigned issue contains
thirty-eight questions, the answers
to which would determine the
question of negligence. The trial
lasted fifty-six days, Justice Bose,
of Toronto, presiding. On April
25th the jury submitted their find-
iugs. The railroad company was
found guilt} 7 of negligence. The
amount of the damages is yet to
be settled. This is the most noted
trial of the kind that ever took
place in the Dominion, and should
the proceedings be sustained in
the higher courts it would open a
new chapter in railway litigation.
Henry Cabot Lodge walked over
from the House of Representatives
to the Senate chamber one morn
ing, accompanied by an old gen
tleman who wore a heavy gray
overcoat, a high hat of the style of
forty years ago, and carried a large-
cane. The old gentleman said
smilingly to the doorkeeper: “Oh,
yes, I have the privilege of the
floor. I was a senator once, but
probably before your time. I am
-also an ex-Sp'eaker of the House.”
Then he good-naturedly said that
he was Robert C. Winthrop, and
that he was a senator from July,

with the church goers; who could

other words was a companionable
man had a powerful leverage in
his race for office.
This was all well enough it its
way. A pleasant and sociable man
is agreeable company, and they
generallybave “a way abont them”
which is difficult to resist. But at
the same time it is not- always the
most companionable man who is
the best capacitated to serve the
people as their representative in
any capacity. Sometimes it will
answer, and sometimes it will not.
Matters, however, have under
gone a change. People demand of
their representatives something
more than mere agreeableness.
There must.be principle with it,
and principle take precedence over
personality. In the coming cam
paign this fact will be emphasized.
There are important issues and vi
tal principles involved. The peo
ple intend to demand that there be
a full expression upon live and
pertinent issues. And the expres
sion must be open and not con
fined to the personal drumming
hitherto engaged in. The people
will vote for principle in prefer
ence to personal likes and dislikes
and affairs will be better managed
for this fact.
We see in the change benefit to
the government and the further
fact that the ablest men of strong
est principles-- will conduct our
public matters.

Tlic Fires of 1889.
The loss by fire in the United
States during the year 1889 reach
ed the enormous sum of nearly
8125,000,000, against 8110,000,000
in 1888. The fire waste of 1889
exceeds that of any year daring
the fifteen years that an accurate
record of the annual loss in the
United States has been kept,- and
it was only approached by the
year 1887, when a total of 8120,-
200.000 was reached. It is a no
table fact that 1889 was a year of
great conflagrations, 47 per cent
of the entire waste having been
confined to fifty-three fires of over
8200.000 in magnitude, the total
amount of loss in these fifty-three
fires being nearly §50,000,000, an
enormous apportionment, making
the average loss per fire a little
less than 81,000,000. — Boston

The fruit of the coco-de-mer,
which Gen. Gordon believed to be
the forbidden fruit of the Garden
of EdeD, Las been exported to Eu
rope. Tbe nut weighs twenty
pounds and measures twenty-five
inches across. The palm on which
it is grown is 100 feet in height,
and is only to be found on the
Seychelle Islands. Hundreds of
years before tbe Seychelles were
discovered these nuts were washed
np on the Maidive Islands, and the
wiseacres of thqge .days told the
people that this sea-borne fruit
had grown on a submarine tree,
and that it had a mysterious pow
er of counteracting poisons.
Yow that the new extradition
treaty with Great Britain has gone
into effect Canada will no longer
be a safe asylum for embezzlers
and Swindling bank officers and
agents from this country. This,
says the Yew York Yews, is a good
thing for Canada, and an equally
good thing for the United States.
Boodle aldermen may still find a
refuge in Montreal, provided they
have committed no other offense
than that of accepting bribes.
Bnt, as a rule, tbe men who ac
cept bribes are gniltv oE other
offenses which come within the
law.
