Last ’i Ini Today, while at
Madison waiting to board the
west bound fast mail train on
the Georgia railroad, we wit¬
nessed an accident that had a
good deal of the awful in it .
The train was over an hour late
and ran up toward tiie depot
at a high rate of speed. As it
was approaching the wagon
road crossing east of the depot,
a fine team of mules, driven by
a colored boy, with two other
negroes in the wagon .pulled out
of a the deep cut and struck the
railroad track with the train
coming not fifty feet «,way. Tt
seemed that' the mules were
stopped exactly on the track,
Without , a jar • or jostle •__,, the , i pow
erf 111 engine . struck the team
broad “bide, the 18ft hand mule
being ° knocked from the track
and killed without ft- scratcil,
but the animal on the left was
caught under the wheels and
actully ground into mincemeat,

therefore, of subsoiling iu a sandy soil
is that the water is more readily re

tho same time retained for tho future
nso of the crop The advantage of sub
eoiling a heavy soil, on tho ether hand,
ts that tho water, instead of being re

where it is retained, and when the
top soil would c-thorwiso become hard

peciallv if the rgius be. followed by a
long drouth, there is a large amount, of
water stored away in tho subsoil to be
drawn upon as needed by effectually the growing

by subsoiling the top
oil rolling lands, which Professor Sluder
estimates at 230 square miles each year,
would be reduced to a minimum, if not
entirely stopped.
“Two hundred aud fifty square miles,
ivn'caeh 1(50 000 acres, of good soil rendered Jsar. '
year from tins one cause! At
|g0 an acre—a low estimate settled for parts good of
farm lands iu the more
the country—this means a money loss
of $8 000,000 per annum to the farmers
of the United States. If subsoiling will
stop this ruinous waste, is it not worth
trT i ]ig ?
‘ffButtho oxpwiss of subsoiling! Yes,
it is an expense, and yet when we con
aider in addition to tho saving to future
fertility of this enormous acreage now
rendered barren by erosion, the vastly
increased crops and improved quality of
tho product—for these things are a mat
ter of actual experience and not a mere
theory—the small additional expense of
subsoiling need n t enter into our con
videratioq. Besides, it is not necessary
to subsoil every year, hut only once in
two or in some soils once in three years.
We believe, however, that with the in¬

The prospect: is that next fall the price
of pork will be good, therefore tho man
who lias the necessary conveniences for
raising hogs economically and putting"
them on the market as early as possible, besides
will run small risk of loss, if
raising his family supply, he makes ar¬
rangements for a few extra porkers usually to
meet the demand which is
most pressing and with better
prices in September and October,
where Peas aud other forage crops
can lie raised i.s easily as with us,
the difficulties of hog raising are com¬ is
paratively few, and the whole process
much simplified. Our winter and spring
crops of rye, barley and Crimson clover
are followed iu quick succession by cats,
wheat, peas, grouudpcas, ehufas, arti¬
chokes and sweet potatoes, necessitating
but a short period of the more expensive
corn feed before they are ready for
market, in first claw* condition. If milk
is accessible and sorghum ndde-.l to tho
oth-'r crop?, tho health oi the pips, as
well as their early development, is al
most assured. They should be kept stead

allowed to fall back at any
