Young Women Beware. Be sure you can support a man before mrrying him. Breach of promise suits brought by men against woman are becom ing common, Evidently the emancipated woman is not do¬ ing her duty by the weaker and less capable brother. She wins bis affections and then castshim off on a cold world without any visible means of support, It is not uncommon for women to be rich in their own right nowdays. Many women earn fine incomes. These self-supporting women have not yet developed, along with other things masculine, the old, line, manly sense of res¬ ponsibility toward the loving and dependent, Will women be in all respects the equal to man until she learns this les son? In the good time coming a young woman will consider it dishonorable to enter into a matrimonial engagement with a young man whom she has not the ability to support. Some of the half emancipated girls are so thoughtless. They lure a youth on to propose, well know¬ ing that their salaries are bare¬ ly sufficient to gratify their own feminine fancies. Even heir esses will wed a poor young man only to grow tired of him pres¬ ently, when his charms begin to fade. Then he is divorced and forced to return to the rib¬ bon counter and work for a liv¬ ing. They manage those things better on the continent. There the custom allows a poor but honest prince to compel the American millionairess to set¬ tle a suitable marriage portion on him before he consents to accept her band. Our owu men can make a similar custom here if they will be equally firm They owe it to themselves to do so 1 Young love is very beau¬ tiful, no doubt, but no true wo¬ man will think of marrying un¬ til she is able to support a hus¬ band. Thus has the advauce of progress been driven forward. —Ex. Profits of Dentistry. A fifth avenue dentist, who plugs up the molars of the four hundred, says that he has made $500 in a day, but only once. A lady came to him who wanted diamands put in the gold filling of her front teeth. ‘‘It was evident," says the dentist, “that she had just come into her inheritance. She seemed so anxious to spend money I didn’t approve of the diamonds, and told her so, but she would have them, and I humored her to such an extent that my day’s work netted me $500 What do I make ordinarily? Well I charge $20 an hour, and I rarely work more than five hours. People don’t care to come be¬ fore 10 in the morning, and late in the afternoon the light is not good enouglu One bun. dred dollars a day is about the extent of what a dentist can make, and it is about the most exacting of all professions.’’ —New York Advertiser.

IMPORTANT MATTERS DISCUSSED Cot-oil anil Corn Progressing Satisfacto¬ rily—Mutilation of Delicate Roots Should He Avoided In Laying by the Crops. Farmers Beginning to Appreciate the Importance of the Pea t rop, Ktc. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, July 1, 189ft. Under ordinary conditions this is the mouth when a well-kept farm shows to the best advantage. Our principal crops of corn and cotton are progressing, the former toward early maturity; the wheat and oat crops have been or are being rapidly housed, and the forage crops are well under way. The wide¬ awake farmers has taken no chances, but by careful forethought has planned for the preparation, planting and culti¬ vation of each crop in its season, and now that the battle is almost won, he may calculate with reasonable certainty on the returns for his year’s work. We make the above statement advisedly, qualified, however, by the condition that the final workings of these crops be characterized by the same judgment and care, which have marked the earlier periods. “LATINO BT” COTTON AND CORN. A mistake, even now, well-buiit may lay low many a well-considered, plan. In “laying by” both corn and cotton wo should avoid any mutilation of the delicate roots as carefully as the wo would any injury to that part of plant which appears above ground. As a rule, corn should not be plowed after the tassel forms, but if, from pre¬ vious mismanagement or untoward sea¬ sons it becomes necessary to break the crust or destroy the weeds and grass, which have sprung up, wo should, to avoid injury to the roots and leave ex¬ posed as little surface as possible to evaporation, set the plow to run as shallow and as level as possible. In plowing at this season we should koep two objects in view; to prevent evapora¬ tion and to promote the free access of air to the soil, with as little root cutting as possible. Of course we should be guided in part by the growth and condi¬ tion of tho plant, but deep plowing at this season will almost inevitably cause the cotton to “shod” its young fruit and the corn to turn yellow. We have seen a field of the vigorous, dark green, glossy cotton, so pleasant to the eye of the experienced farmer, reduced by one day’s injudicious plowing to such a state of collapse as to appear as if a sud¬ den blight had swept over it. Such are the peculiarities of the cotton plant, however, that a check of this kind is of¬ ten, in a great measure, although never entirely, repaired. But corn onco receiv¬ ing such a setback is irredeemably in j ured. Its season for development is com¬ paratively so short that the utmost care should be exercised in order to promote its perfect growth. In plowing cotton at this season some consideration must also be given to tho variety, as well as tlie condition of the plant. In the large limbed, late maturing varieties the crop should be laid by as early as possible in order to check the leaf growth and on courage the plant to begin taking on fruit, for when the plant is growing rapidly it does not often form fruit at tho same time. On the other hand, with the smaller varieties, if the crop is in promising condition, that is, if the development properly of fruit and foliage is balanced, tlie surface cultiva¬ tion may bo continued well into August, one shallow furrow in the middle being all that is necessary. FORAGE CROPS. Let every spare moment be utilized for petting in the various forage crops, peas, millet, fodder-corp, etc., and as tho clover. opportunity In almost occurs prepare locality for sow¬ ing any Ger¬ man clover may bo northern made latitudes a profitable crop, and in more tho other varieties may also be successfully managed. In preparing for clover of all kinds, the Annual, as well as other varieties, tlie soil must bo deeply and thoroughly line tilth broken possible. and then In harrowed in¬ to as a as the quiry columns will be found full direc¬ tions as to making and saving this crop, more especially variety, the Annual, Crimson or German all of which names ap¬ ply inquiry to tho same variety. filling There silo, is also al¬ iiu as to a and though wo have previously replied to repeated inquiries on this subject, we again give all the principal points on this truly important subject, for al¬ though at the south we are blessed with a genial climate, und our stock is not confined to shelter during the entire winter, ensiliigo has been found a most valuable aid in supplementing the regu¬ lar ration for all farm animals, the hog alone excepted. CLOVF.R. Where clover lias been seeded with the grain crops, the mistake is often made of allowing the weeds to spring up after the grain is cut, and if nothing is done to check their growth they mn clover ture and that not only deprive the young of much plant food, but by developing a full snpply of seeds, lay the foundation for a bigger and moro troublesome crop another yean, To pre Vent this seeding, run over the field with a mower when the weeds are about half a foot high and before the seeds haye formed, Set the mower so as to taka Off about half their growth. This will prevent them from seeding and the fallen tops will get as a mulch and shade to the young clover, a very important consideration in opr climate. weeds on QiteiiM, teiTacas, fence corners „ and fence rows should also be prevented fr ° m see fJ l,| P- . be, ?c t every favorable Sff & «S “!’ 1° “nerfrnt wall another rear’s ‘ 71v» mfliettlfy Of obtaining . . seed peas is one evidence tjiat farmers are begins sung to appreciate tin: importance of 1 cr °P t° iuiproremeut of the Dud , as well os the the feeding of stock- Everywhere we see evidences that they are taking hold of this work in earnest, hut it cannot be urged too ofteu that no coru crop should bo “laid by” without sowing peas, either broadcast or m the middles over the entire field. Also, work over the wheat and oat stubbles and sow the peas broadcast, or if time and other work are presnng, runoff the rows about two and oue-lialf or three feet apart, plant the peas and break out the middles later, as opportunity oc¬ curs. kaiuit It' practicable apply equal parts of of and phosphate at the rate about 200 pounds to the acre. This will increase the growth and vigor of the peas and they in turn will gather a sup¬ ply of nitrogen and humus, two most important agents in re invigorating fields. our hard-run and overtaxed Besides these two important offices they also serve to shade the laud and keep down lands the weeds. In our climate bare steadily retrograde. The alternate blis¬ tering heat and washing rains deprive them of untold and uncalculated amounts of plant food. Any crop which will cover the la: »1 will serve to arrest this steady drain, but for the above reasriis leguminous crops are to he preferred. THE LATE CHOP OF IRISH POTATOES is becoming a very important item in our fall trade. Full directions have heretofore been given, for preparation, Where planting, fertilizing, etc. one does not cure to take the trouble to bed the potatoes, in order to secure sprouted seed, the “Lookout Mountain” fur¬ nishes a variety which is sure to pro¬ duce a good stand. It is peculiarly adapted for fall planting, and produces abundantly. SWEET POTATOES may be set out during the entire month, using cuttiugs from the vines, which produce the smoothest best keeping po¬ tatoes. The cuttings should not be too long, three eyes are sufficient for rapid rooting. The longer cuttings will pro¬ duce a greater number of potatoes, but the quality and size will be inferior. FALL OATS AND RYE. Don’t put off until the last moment, sowing oats and then hurriedly and su¬ perficially scratch in it crop, which of all others has proven most valuable to the farmer. Tho present year has again illustrated tho fact, that tlie spring sown crop cannot bo relied on, but that tho fall crop, if properly prepared for and sown early enough, is almost cer¬ tain. Prepare tlie land thoroughly to he ready to begin sowing in September. The value of rye as a renovator, a grain food for stock during tlie winter months, and an accumulator of humus is not generally fully appreciated. While not as valuable as peas, if sown ou the pea stubble it will take hold of the work where the peas left off and continue it through tlie winter. It is a very hardy crop, and if sown in tlie cottonfields, does much to prevent the wasting and washing of the cleanly cultivated soil. SORGHUM may still bo planted to advantage. The .Early Amber is best for the late plant¬ ings. It is exceptionally good for fat¬ tening hogs, and if cut before the seeds fully form may be fed with profit to all farm auinals, only being careful to reg-. ulate tho amount, as like all other green foods, it is injurious if given in unlim¬ ited quantities. PASTURES often fail at this season and while the hot, dry weather may seem sufficient reason to many for this failure, very often it is tlie result of too close graz¬ ing. The stock are turned on day after day indiscriminately, and no thought is given to the fact foliage that any plant will at last fuil if its ia continually de¬ stroyed. The grass is given no time to repair the daily damage and the conse¬ quence is, that being eaten off as fast as it tries to put out a fresh growth, it finally gives up the fight and our mid¬ summer pastures become brown and bare. It is here that the green crops of sorghum, forage corn, peas, clover coino in as a most valuable supplement, and if fed systematically will save the pastures and in tho fall tho abundant growth, which has sprung up on them will give the animals a good start and save the use of much of the stored win ter food. II. T. Nesbitt. Salt to Destroy Parasites In Stock—Grubs In Sheep. Question.— I notice that my sheep and cattle, tho young lambs and calves particularly, turned the are every year, affected after being on pastures, with gome disease, which often causes them to droop and in some cases die. I can assign no certain cause for this trouble, the pastures are abundant, and there is a stream of pure running water in easy access. Can you suggest any cause for this ? Is there any certain cure for grub in the head of sheep? Answer.— We should judge from your description that your cattle need gait. Every pasture, no matter how well manured, or how flourishing, is more or less infested with the germs of parasitical diseasos. The eggs or larvae of the parasites are deposited on the young tender grass, and are taken into the stomachs of the animals while feed¬ ing. Salt is about the only practical means which we can use to prevent in- 3 U1 7 I rom D' e ' r attacks. Salting once or t"'i ce a week will not be sufficient, Salt is as much a necessity to animals 11 s 1° man, and should be placed where they can have daily access to it. A lit tie copperas mixed in the salt about twice a month in the proportion of one P ar t to ten of> salt, has been found ben eficial. An occasional dose of sulphur also good, For the grub, prevention is the only ®m-e and paying remedy. If the cattle arf! provided with a place where they will be protected from the sun during the hot months, they will escape in great measure the attacks of the flies. Thick woods or a dark shed will fur pUh this protection, and sheep thus sheltered will have almost entire immu nity from grubs ill the head.
