DAYS OF MY YOt Til.
The following touching lines were
written by the elder St. George Tuck
er, (step-father of Mr. Randolph,)
and It is said that they so affected
John Adams in his old ago that he
declared he would rather have writ
ten them than any lyric of Milton
or Shukspeare:
Day* of my yonth, y have glided away,
Hairs of ruy youth, ye are frosted and gray;
Eyes of my youth, your keen sight is no mre;
Cheeks of my youth, ye are furrowed all o*er;
Rtreugth of my yaqth. all your vigor is gone;
Thoughts of my youth, your gay vision ia flown.
Days of my yonth, I wish not your recall,
Hairs of my youth. I*m content ye shall fell;
Eyes of my youth, you much evil have seen.
Cheeks of my youth, bathed in tears yea have
been;
Thoughts of my youth, ye have led me astray,
Strength of my youth, why lament your decay?
Days of my age, ye will shortly be passed,
Pains of my age. yet awhile you can last;
Joys of my age, in true wisdom delight.
Eyes of my age, be religion your light;
Thoughts of my age, dread ye not the cold sod.
Hopes of my age, be ye fixed on your God.
f\DITIO> OF tiKOßhll FARMER*,
On October 15, 18?5.
BY THE COMMISSIONERS OF AGRICULTURE.
Eighty-four per cent, says that cot
ton can be raised at a profit ot pres
ent prices on supplies made at home.
This is readily understood, in view
of the facts that bought corn and
oats cost from two to three times us
much as home-made; that, as report
ed by correspondents, only 47 per
cent, of a home supplv or pork is
readily in the State, and that, while
it costs an average of s6u per head to
raise a mule or horse on the farm.fl,-
000,780 were expended last season in
their purchase from drovers, at an
average cost per head of more than
twice the cost of raising them.
Notwithstanding this enormous
annunl outlay in horses and mules,
aud the fact that it coats only soo to
raise them to.three years old, only 6.-
033 are reported annually foaled in
the State.
81 i>er cent, of the correspondents
report that farmers are increasing
their stock of hogs with a view to
raising more pork next year, but re
part a general complaint of stealage
as the principal obstacle to raising
pork. There Is also much complaint J
of loss by cholera. Others report
deficient fencing, and consequent
inability to utilize their pasturage.
The average cost of ginning cotton
by mule power, is reported at 75
cents per hundred pounds of lint; by
steam power, at 50 cents i>er 100, and
by water power, at 4o cents.
28 gin houses were burned by incen
diary, and 15 by accidental tires. The
loss by incendiary fires is reported at
$45,420, and by accidental, at $24,800.
476 bales of cotton are reported burn
ed by these fires, all of which occur
red between Oct. Ist, 1874, and Octo
ber Ist, 1875.
Free juieu are reported indebted to
farmers aud merchants for supplies
advanced them last year, $1,465,700.
This is not surprising, since, in the
July report, 42 per cent, of the farm
ers who employ labor for a part of
the crop, are reported as giving one
half of the crop as compensation for,
the labor.
The practice, too, of renting lund to |
irresponsible freedmen, who gener
ally must be supplied in advance ,
with stock, implements, fertilizers,
and food for themselves and fami
lies as well as for their stock, is nu
anomaly in the history of business '
transactions.
Not only is the capital advanced to
them and valuable property entrust
ed to them, but the entire manage
ment of the farm left to them.
It is not reasonable to suppose that,
men, naturally indolent/ ignorant
and superstitious, mere muscular au
tomata by habit, having been accus
tomed to direction even in the minu
tia of their work, could, by a presi
dential proclamation, be converted
into intelligent aud reliable business
managers. As well might the <w>m
monest soldier in the ranks be ex
pected to skillfully manoeuvre to
day the army of which he was but
yesterday an integral part. No such
reckless risks are taken in any other
business, nor could any long exist un
der such management.
[Note by the Editor.—Commis
sioner Janes estimates the loss from
thirty-three gin houses destroyed by
fire to be $70,220. Since the number
destroyed was ninety-eight or ninety
nine, the amount thus lost by the
farmers of the State in one year was
s2lo,66o—which, we think, is a very
low estimate.]
I.namrlrd Ollliur"
A refreshment saloon in London
lias been finished inside in such a
manner as to be readily washed out
with a hose. The floor is paved, the
wiill is of majolica, arid the celling is
covered with enameled sheet iron.
When it is desired to clean the room,
the furniture is removed, the hose is
laid on, ami the place is siinply
drenched and flooded till clean. The
ceiling is the novet feature of the
room. To prepare it, large pieces of
sheet iron were coated white with
enamel in the usual manner, and
were then handsomely painted in
colors. After baking to secure the
colors, the sheets vvere affixed to the
beams of the floor overhead: The
joints are made to fit tight, and once in
place, the enameled plates will last
as long as the building stands. This
style of ceiling is partially fire-proof,
anil saves ail the exjiense, repairs
and danger of lathes and plaster.
There is no patent on this system of
ceilings, and any enameling firm
may make the sheets in plain eolors,
clear white, or in patterns to fit any
refreshment-room, bath-room, laun
dry, dairy, or other room where a
washable oeiiing is desired.'
“Where’s the molasses, Bill?” said
a woman sharply to her son, who had
returned with an empty jug. “None
iu the city, mother. Every grocery
has a big black board outside with
the letters, ‘N. O. Molasses.’ ”
