He cumbers the earth, He is eostl.v, dangerous and filthy, His con fin¬ ued presence is a bad thing for peace. He ought, to he hung. But if you or the jury shall conclude, that lie is crazy or tit at for any other reason ho nutsn’.t i >c bung, then lot’s lie rid of him anyhow—send him somewhere, not to the penitentiary then send him to the asylum; hut send him somewhere. The pooplv of DeKalb want him gone,—and the quicker the better. Try 1dm and try him first of all.” Bev. Dr. Talmnge gives tho follow¬ ing sensible reason wliv skepticism exists among newspaper men : * One of the greatest, trials among the newspaper profosion is 'lint its members are compelled to see more of the world limn In any other pro¬ fession. Through all the newspaper offices passe* day after day all tho wickedness of tho world, all church bickering, all vanities that want to bo repaired, want to be credited;-and ail t!i“ dull speaker* that want to he eloquent, all tho meanness that want* to get its name noticed grat is hi the nows columns, in order t<rsave tho tax of the advertising column; all the men who want to lie set right; *11 tho crack-brained philosopher* with ntori*8 as long as their hair and as gloomy as their faces. Through the editorial and ivportorinl rooms all I lie follies and shams of tho World are seen day after day and the temp¬ tation is to believe in neither God, plan ifhr woman. It is no surprise to me that in this profession ther* are *0 many skeptics. 1 only wonder that Journalists believe any thing."

Commis¬ sioner: I h.ivo lietorminoti to pi ant fur the rear 10JO a lanro crop of sugarcane. I desire to know the beat rne.hcd ior baud line, pianung and cultivating can®. wobUI i k-> to know the best ler.'iiizer ro nse, tlio kind of soli best adapted and the probable Tie id under favorable cir¬ cumstance*. in fact, 1 wcttid tbaak you for any information that jui;:ht lead ina to make a success of this emerprise Sugar cane, soon after the discovery of America, was first planted on the island of San Domingo and from thence it has been grown over the tropical and semi-tropical parts of North and South America. It may not be generally known that the striped or ribbon cane, which is aow grown in Somb Georgia, was in 1825 intr duced from Savannah, Ga., into Louisiana. That state is now fa¬ mous for its molasses and sugar indus ries and is is indebted to Georgia for this fine variety of sugar cane. * Many varieties have been tried in Louisiana, but none have as yet, rays Dr. Stubbs, provea worthy of supplant¬ ing the purple and striped varieties. The purple seems to be the hardiest and beat suited for northern latitudes. In tropical countries the sugar cane produces seed, but are not reliable, rarely bearing, any resemblance to their parents. _____ The conditions under which cane does best, is where the mean average tem¬ perature is between 63 and 90 degrees spring and tummor, plenty of rain and a moderate, dry, cool fall. SOILS ADAPTED TO CANS Are those naturally rich and fertile. However, upon soils of very moderate fertility, with good preparation and well fertilised, remunerative crops can be grown. Oiimate, rainfall and manures are more important factors than soils in cane culture. In sandy soils without manures the cane is mall; calcarious soils develop a suporior cano. rich in saccharine matter. In rich a’luvial soils, not properly drained, the canes are poor in sugar produce, a largq quan¬ tity of syrup, but not a firstclass article. Shall we plant the entire cane or that portiou which, is the least fitted for makii#; sugar? Dr. W. O. Stnbbs of Louisiana, after discussing this question at length, con¬ cludes up the whole matter as follows: “It can therefore bo positively as¬ serted that, the upper third of ofir canes can be profitably used for planting our crop and send the lower two thirds of our entire crop to the sugar bpusA thus increasing largely our sugar yieMe and diminishing oar heavy outlay annually fdrseed." PREPARATION OF THE LAND. , , All sqils should bs well prepared and properly fertilised and perfectly drained. It is best to break or flash the land, then bed into row* five td six feei wide, open the bed and in thU furrow place the cane. PLANTING CAXR ■t la planting the sugar cane, otjie con¬ tinuous stalk should be deposited in an Open furrow and well covered- In the fall this covering shc.uid, be several inches thick. Remove the extra soil in early spring, to secure early germina¬ tion. FERTILISATION AND CULTIVATION. The cultivation best for corn laud is generally good for sugar cane. Thor¬ ough and deep preparation of tho soil, cultivate rapidly and as shadow as the soil will permit and “lay. by” when oanes shade the ground. The feruliz ers for cane should contain enough nitro¬ genous matter to insure a large growth by Sept. 1. Phosphoric acid if very beneficial to cane. Potash may be demanded upon light sandy soils. Experiments hare shown that the limits of profit in the use of fertilizers ara between 24 and 48 pound# of nitro¬ gen and 40 to 80 pounds of phosphoric acid, obtained from cotton seed meal an4 acid phosphate 300 ponnds of cot¬ ton seed meal, 300 pounds of acid phos¬ phate. Under favorable conditions, the above formula used on our best cane lands in South Georgia, w® should obtain from 20 to 30 tons of cane per acre.—State Agricultural Department. R(*n»i>«iy For Corn Stalk Bors-rs. Question.— remedy for Will what you 1 pleuse call also give me a borers in corn? They bore into it whea quite young, jnst above the grains, *cd the stalk after it gets tip a foot hi looks like a load of shot had passed rough the blades. Answer —From the description of the trouble given In the above question, it is quite impossible to say just what; borer is referred to, since there are not less than a dozen insects that have the habit of boring into the com plant. ; It is voty probable, however, that the '•Southeastern Oora-root Worm*’ is the ! culprit doing the damage in this case. This worm is about half inch in length, elender and whitish. It is tbe larva of a small, oVal bodied beetle with 12 black spots on its greenish yellow wing covers. These beetle* feed on cucumbers, squashes, melons and a variety of other vegetables. There are two broods of this insect in one season and it winters In the ad nit stage.
