“The grandest sight in the world,”
said an enthusiastic farmer in onr
presence the other da v,
himself to his full height, ‘‘is to
corn, cotton and cabbages
out in the wild woods, without any
fenoe around them. I have just re
turned from a somewhat, extended
trip, of fifteen days, in three counties
in which the no-fence law, or rather
tiie law prohibiting stock fiom running
at targe, is in operation. 1 'ell you it
works like a charm. They just fence
their stock in, and plant Muir crops
outside. It does not take so many
rails to keep their fences up; they
give more attention to their stock,
consequently they have improved them
in quali'y; they know where to find
them at any time, and they are more
secure from the depredations of
thieves.
The very best part of the crops I
saw, were growing along ilie hedge
™"’ s "Kero fences 1ml been. Good
kinds which had ben lying out on ac
con,lt ,,f "t" difficulty aud expense in
fencing tli in, are now growing fine
crops. When the law or custom be>
conn s general, this will be the best
country in tiie world, and the biggest
crops will ha raised that were ever
raised.”
' “Do the people generally seem to bo
pleased with the plan?” we asked.
“.Oh yes. Of course the system
has not. as yet. 1> en reduced to per
faction, but it giv. s very general saris
faction. The landowners are the ones
now aeaiiist whom if, M mils to bar
liardes'.”
“But how about the negroes
You know they weie decided op¬
ponents of the ‘no-fonce’ at first?”
“Where they have tried it, they are
now its s'rouge-t udvoc.ltes. I met
an old gray headed laborer, whom I
stopped for a chat. I asked him
how lie liked this way of planting
crops in tlie woods'?
‘Mighty well, mighty well, sir. Don’t
have to split so many rails to Keep the
fences iqi. I can pick the best pla
to plant anywhere outside.” '
“What do you do with your hogs
and cows?”
I put them overvund u- in rlie pas¬
ture with the boss’s. He lias his pen
to feed at and I have mine, No
trouble about that. “Do tile ne.groes
like it?” Yes, sir; over here in the
adjoining county they have the old
way, and die liLck folks tire coming to
this county b-cause lli -v can get. uc re
land that is b-tt r and cheaper.”
The enthusiastic planter concluded
by remarking with emphasis; l want
so see Calhoun county adopt a law
compelling every man to fence up his
own stock.”
Day by day the no-fence is getting
stronger hold upon tho people, It
has taken firm hold in some of the
more thickly settled Northern coun¬
ties, and is gradually working its way
Southward. It gives satisfaction, as
it is to the advantage of the people
When county A adopts it, county B
lying adjacent will li.oe to a ’opt It m

More Ab ut the Sun’s Spotri.
Ten days ago tue disk of the sun
was almost free from spots, but w ith¬
in the last week several large groups
have made their appearance. Accord¬
ing to the general belief of astrono¬
mers, the maximum of tlio present
sun spot period was past last year,
but large spots have appeared with
suelt frequency this year as to lend
interest .0 the theory of a Frenchman
according to whom the maximum of
the solar disturbance will not bo at¬
tained before 1885 or 1836. He bases
his opinion on the supposed influence
of the large planets like Jupiter and
Saturn in producing sun spots, and
on the fact that tlie.-,e plane ts are pas
siug their perihelion one after another
unusually close together. This theory
does not receive much consideration
from astronomers, but if it should
turn out to be correct it is probable
that the opportunity offered by tho
' on 3 succession of solar storms would
en,,ble scientific men to obtain somo
answer to the question bow far solar
disturbances of this character affect
the earth’s meteorological conditions.

The Treaty With Turkey.
CoN-sr.iNTtxorr.E, June 8—The Porte
leeently informed General Wallace,
the United .States M nister, that the
commercial fruity between Turkey
and America would lerrainatn March
13th, 1884. The Turkish tariff ex¬
pired on the same date during the
p es-lit year. After the termination
of the treaty, the importation of a’l
Aiueriean niefthi, lard and otlu-r simi¬
lar prod nets w ill he prohibi'tu.. The
P rte haa virtually increased ihe
duties ou spirits by compelling their
•storage at Smyrna. It also maintain
'its demand relative to tlm 3 orage of
pcti'i-leam. No American delegate
will be appointed to negotiate with
Tuikey concerning tiie new tariff, al.
though the appointment of one has
beeu twice requested. Gen. Wallace
has protested that the above
measti-rs are arbitrary, and claims
Unit American goods, under the
treaty of 1880, are entitled to the
most f ivoivd national treatment. In
relation 10 tho protest of Gui. Wals
lace, it may he said that the Porto
was desirous of making a new tariff’on
the basis of an 8 per cent, ad valorem
duty, but the powers objected as the
tariff was not alterable until the ex¬
piration of the commercial treaty.
The Porte pointed out that this was
ini practicable, as the treaties expiie
on various dates. Almost, all the am¬
bassadors recogniz'd the validity of
this argument, aud consented to ap¬
point delegates to effect an arrange¬
ment of the tariff.
The relations between the Sultan
and Gen. Wallace continue friendly,
file former has ordered the payment
of ail private claims of Americans on
Turkey, and claims amounting in tho
aggregate to £33,000 have already
been paid .—Savannah News.
The Growth of Mormonism.
Denver. Cot,., June 9.—There ar
rivecl in this city this morning from
Salt Lake several of tho highest dig
nitavies of the Mormon church. The
party comprises Joseph F. Smith,
one wife, Milform Woodruff, Brighton
Young, Angus N. Cannon, John N.
Morgan and Thomas E. 'Taylor, the
quorum of twelve apostles. Morgan is
president of the Southern State mis¬
sion. Taylor is a son of President
John Taylor. They are en route to
Conejos county, iu this slate, to in>
spect the Mormon colony there and
arrange for the purchase of more land
for tho use of the converts now crowd¬
ing into Utah. Brigham Young, in
an interview, said: “The reports
from our laborers in the vineyard of
Europe and this country warrant an
expectation of fully 20,000 converts
tiiio year.
! Fodder Cora
While it is vet lime we wish lo urge
upon farmers the import nice of hav¬
ing a supply of good sweet fodder on
band during the winter for the cows,
horses and yonog cattle will appreci¬
ate it nud it will p.iy well for the ex
pense it has been to secure it. We
j prefer to sow it in earlier if desired;
but if not sown before June, though
it may tie sown earlier (some f ti nn-i
even sow »s file as July) there is not
so much pressing work on 1 and as
then-is, arliec in the season and the
j woik can tlie i be done bet.ter and at
j less expense. It is nset ss t • attempt
! to raise n good crop of fodder corn on
j poor land, for it m ist have rich soil
• »» produce heavily, an 1 when good
kind is further enriched with a good
top dressing of well decomposed sta
hie manure the growth will be heavy
and tine. The land should be v.e’d
! plowed and harrowed, and the coi-u
drilled in close lows. Home plotters
plow the lain! and then sow the corn,
first treating the grain to a coating of
tar and ashes to k"ep tlm birds from
taking it, the harrowing covering the
corn nicely. As a rule, where it can
b« put in drills it is surer of making a
| good grow th, especially when sown
late in the season. Common field
corn makes good Cod h r, but we would
recommend using sweet corn in ptef
erence, on account of i's being moie
nutritious, and it is also better liked
by the stock. When Well cured it is
more valnabLs for feeding purpose
than the best liny .obtainable.—Am

Crops in Georgia.
M^ed ^’>»^.'Ssioncr ,, Ins . consul,,latum . Henderson , of lias the com- crop
reports ‘ tor the shite to the 18th of
June. He estimates as follows: The
condition of corn, compared to same
time lust year, is 90 p -r cent. Heavy
rains iu the early spring and an un¬
precedented Cool and dry May, have
greatly retarded the growth and en
comaged the attack of cut woims.
The yield of oats will be about 88
per cent, of an average. This falling
off is due almost entirely to the fact
that spring sown oats have been
caught by the May drouth. There
being no rust of consequence the yield
of wlisat will he 93 per cent, of the
average. Tue quality is excellent,
being almost free from rust. The
stand of cotton is 94 per emit, of an
average, and the condition is 94. The
plant is hacKwa-d and smaller than
Usual. The general prospect, while
not very enc -uraging, is by no means
gloomy.
Tli" truck f 1 rin ms of South wester 11
Georgia who have been shipping vega,
tables to the Northwest, according to
the Albany News , are not pleased with
the freight charges.
On Irish potatoes from Albany to
Cineinna'i the char.e is $1.85 per 100
pounds, against $1.09 per barrel to
Baltimore and New York, making a
diffi renee of $2.50 per ham ] in favor
of the Eastern markets. This does
uot niter, the expectation, raised in the
minds of the truck farmers in that
section, by the seeming anxiety of the
railroad men, before their recent meet¬
ing, to accomodate the trade. This is
perhaps one cause of tne depression of
the Eastern market, for it seems that
nearly three-fourths of the shipments
were concentrated upon New York.
Better arrangements must, be agreed
upon about freight and distribution it
the truck farm business is desirable
aud worthy to be encouraged.
The recent heavy rains have greatly
improved the cotton and corn crops,
and planters are greatly encouraged.
Watermelon prospects are also much
better, and the probabilities are that
there will be very heavy shipments to
the North and west this season. The
planters are perfecting arrangements
for transportation facilities, and the
raihoud authorities will doubtless have
their hands as well as their cars full.
The shipments will embrace not only
melons hat peaches, apples and other
fruit, aud promise to he greater than
ever before, The first peaches, though
rather late, are exeeptiouably good.
