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.

A lady came to him who wanted

didn’t approve of the diamonds,
and told her so, but she would

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

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

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.

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

rows about two and oue-lialf or three
feet apart, plant the peas and break out
the middles later, as opportunity oc¬

these two important offices they also
serve to shade the laud and keep down lands
the weeds. In our climate bare

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

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. It is well,
however, to watch them, both old and
