THE NOUTHERN WORLD FOR NIX MONTHS and a hamlsonto steel engraving entitled, “ SUNSHINE AND SHADOW,” FOR FIFTY CENTH, (and a three cent stamp to pay postage on picture.) In order to leave no opportunity unimproved, we make this unexampled offer to those who may wish to take the Southbbn Woiilii on trial. This picture Is very.bandsomc, and Is 19 by 21 In. In site. It repre senta a young farmer Just putting aside his work to enjoy noon refreshments. On the ground, nearu tall atone fence, are hts canteen, coat and apude. Ilia Wife has Just come with his dinner, and thu two chil dren, all looking happy and contented with lire, She Is turned with her buck to the looker-on, holding In oue hand the basket of dinner, while with the other, ■be la transferring the Infant child to Its father’s arms. Ue Is takiug It with teuder care,while an expres alon of happy pride mingles with that of fatigue und almost overcomes It, so great seems to be Ills admira tion for the little une. On the other side of her moth er a little girl, apparently about four years of age, stands with her dolly and a long buuch of grass In onu hand, and with the other pretends to assist mam ma with the baaket, looking saucily up Into pupil's face, as If tossy, “You dun't know what's In here fur you!" Around them are growing wild lluwers and tall grass, while the scene Is llooded with the bright beams of the noon-day sunlight. In the dark background Is a grove or wood, where a silent, lonely figure, draped In widow's weeds, stands amid the shadows, and with a tad, downcast countenance, gases upon the happy group before her with a far-away look, as If recalling the days when she too, was happy, or viewing the contrast between this family and her own blighted life. It can but touch the hearts of both aides—the happy and the unhappy. Address SOUTHERN WORLD, illMta, Gn. The South Carolina State Agricultural Convention meets at Anderson, next month The programme will be one of exceeding interest. Our venerable and venerated cotemporary of Boston, the Watchman, lias an editorial caption in a recent issue “ The Gospel of Despair!” We fail to perceive where any good tidings can be promulgated about dcs pair, Mr. J. K. P. Wallace, of Andersonville, Tennessee, is a progressive farmer, and one of the best reporters of agricultural meet ings in the country. He is quick of ear and ready of hand to catch and take down all that is said, while his well-balanced mind guides in giving to the public a full and cor rect report. The Hull Vapor Stove Company, of Cleve land, Ohio, have established a branch house in Atlanta for the sale in the South of their justly celebrated stoves. It is under the management o( Mr. Ed. Knapp, an enter prising business man. The Hull Stove is destined to become popular, and in time no Southern kitchen will be considered com plete without one. In operation they save time and trouble in the household, and cost in burning, less than wood or coal. Improvement or Public Komis. Prof. Locke, of the University of Tenues see, at the session of the East Tennessee Farmer’s Convention, in Knoxville, Tenn., remarked that a road ought to be os straight and level as possible. The present location of roads in the South are not what they should be; they seem to take the highest hills and lowest valleys. Wo must take sucli roads as wc have and make the best we can of them. In many instances they can be changed for the better; changes of slight importance working no injury to any, but adding much to their use. What the road system needs most was to be under the direction of a skill fui county engineer. JoarnnliMtle EHiIcn. We are at a loss to perceive any substan tial reason for a newspaper copying an orig inal article from a cotomporary and omitting to give credit for the sume. The plea of in advertence may be set up with some degree of plausibility when it is done once, but when it is done repcutedly, no such plea can be available. And when journals re ceive credit from other journals for such stolen urticles.and fail to give honor, whence it is due, it is a confession that they do not propose to render unto Ctesar the honor due to Cicsar. One or two of our cotemporaries are in the habit of copying original articles from the Southern World without credit, and wo trust to see them amend their wnys in this particular. The luxury of a Turkish batli is best ap preciated when the summer heatsoppress to almost suffocation. It may seem that the heated apartment or tepidarium would bo harder to bear there thun in winter, but it is not, although the winding sheet shows evidence of the streaming perspiration; but while tlie refreshing, cool applications to head and throat of the cold water, is some thing to be grateful for, this first process, is but preliminary to the sponge bath and the manipulations. The magnetism of the oper ation, and the cquilizing of the circulation, leaves one supremely conscious that it is a joy merely to exist, but the refreshment and invigoration lasts on, and it seems as if we need never bo weary or despondent, or any way but happy again. One can almost take one these days by taking a walk of a few miles. Parity and Vitality of Farm Needs. Prof. J. M. McBryde in his address before the East Tennessee Fariuera’ Convention, at Knoxville, Tennessee, submitted facts and figures from analyses of seeds that astonish ed his hearers. A sample of orchard grass seed gave only 20 per cent of pure seed, while 80 per cent was empty florets or husks without grain; one of Blue grass while giv ing 02 per cent of pure seed, only 6 in 100 germinated. Red clover gave 55 per cent of pure seed, but only 42 in 100 germinated. White clover gave ninety-seven per cent of pure seed, but only 3 In 100 germinated. A like ratio is found in other seeds, the im purities being numerous and often seeds of weeds. The farmer buys seeds—good ones as be supposes—sows them with care, and failing to get a catch takes it for granted that the season being unfavorable is the cause. The subject is one of vast importance and demands a prompt and summary remedy. Dry all the FrnlL The Southern Standard, of McMinnville, Tenn., gives the following sensible advice: “Dry all that you can in the best possible condition. When the time comes to sell then do the very best you can. If your fruit is extra nice you will get a better price than lie who has dried in tiie ordinary way, leav ing the core in and the cut irregular. What we want to talk about now is the blackberry and whortleberry crops. We understand these crops are large everywhere and will soon begin to ripen sufficient to gather. In gathering uny fruit to dry let it be ripe—not too ripe. Dry thoroughly and store away in a dry place and you will have no trouble with worms.” Vegetables of all kinds and sweet potatoes should be dried for winter use. Many incline to the belief that drying is far preferable to canning. Mr. R. B. Reppard, a live merchant of Sa vannah, Ga., contributes to the Southern Lumberman, an interesting letter on the “Yellow Pine of Georgia.” In her lumber interest he says: “Georgia lias a mine of wealth far greater in value than her gold fields if she only utilizes it properly. Seven teen thousand million feet of timber at the present market value, on shipboard at any of our ports, would represent a capital of $350,- 000,000, and certainly, if the lumber inter est of the State is worth this vast sum, the turpentine interest (which has advanced nearly 100 per cent, in value the last few years, while lumber has uilvancd only 30 percent, during the same time,) is worth an equal amount, which would make the total value of these two great sources of wealtli $700,000,000, which sum far exceeds the total valuation put upon all the prop erty of every kind in the State. Still, we will venture to say that 'in the list of our taxable property the lumber interest is al most the smallest in valuation.” The Baltimore Journal of Commerce sayS: "Tlie latest advices from the West regarding the growing wheat crop continue very en couraging for a large yield, and it is stated that the winter wheat is now beyond tho chance of daninge from insects and bugs, and that tlie only tiling that can injure it now would be warm damp weather after harvest. It is belie veil that the exports from the Atlantic ports during August and perhaps as early as the latest half of July will be very heavy, and Baltimore shippers are making preparations for an active trade by chartering vessels for future loading. That wo lmve had an unprecedentedly backward season this year is undisputed, but it is almost equally certain that its ef fects have not been disastrous. The wheat crop lias already been hurvested in many sections without accident, and the pleasant weuther of tlie lost two weeks lias been fa vorable to tlie harvest now in progress. Fur ther north the grain looks well, jo it is al most ccrtuin that we will have a uniform yield, and one abovo tlie uveruge. But now comes tlie question as to tlie corn crop, on which so much deiicnds. The cold has de layed planting, and tlie acreage this year is not quite os large as it was in 1881, but corn is a lmrdy plant, and tlie damp sultry weath er alternating with hot duys, isiuaking good the loss of the past. There is not tlie least cause for anxiety on this score, and will not be unless we have frosts in August. Tlie mild weather of. last winter through the northwest was very favorable for stock and tlie ruins have given tlie grass a good start. We shall therefore liuve an ample supply of stock for next winter. The southwestern and northwestern roads may expect a very heavy business which will begin soon, and tlie lines in the Middle aud Western States may have an equal confidence. With good craps all business will he good, aud we shall enjoy a full measure of prosperity, which the bad harvests of last year seemed to check.—St. Louis Railway Register.

Many farmers present at tlie Ensilage Congress held January 24tb, 1882, (also many who did not attend) desire to again assemble in this city in order to compare experiences. It will be held Wednesday, Jan. 24th, 1883, and continue four days (and evenings if desired.) Tlie object is making tills early announc- ment is, that farmers with practical knowl edge and experience with ensilage maybe prepared with a written statement of their various operations, which shall include tlie actual measurements and weights, as they apply to land cultivated, manures, fertili zer, and seed used, and product tier acre; tlie cost of lubor, teams, and power per ton of ensilnge; and the comparative gain or loss in weight or product of milk and but ter as compared to tlie feeding of huy or other dried fodder. Tlie reports to be as concise os possible. It is requested also that specimens of tlie simplest furiu book keeping be presented, and preparation made for a full discussion of the economies of mechanics and improved methods relating to agriculture by men who know how to pioke farming pay. J. B. Brown. Secretary of Ensilage Congress of 1882. 65 Ueeknian 8t., N. Y. How to be Neir-ouMtalnlnv. For the South to be self-sustaining, she must turn her attention to raising all kinds of grain, corn and oats, when this is done we can keep our stock in better condition and save our hard earnings. No man will ever succeed in the South raising cotton at 10 cents per pound and paying 12 cents per pound for his meat, 00 cents per bushel for corn, and $1.60 a barrel for meal. With a smoke house full of meat, and a crib full of corn, with plenty of hogs on the place, a planter feels independent; but with your fields full of cotton, no meat in your smoke house, no corn in your crib, no hog on the place, a planter is a dependent, and will ever be in debt to his merchant. Should one bad year overtake him he is crippled financially for the next five years.—Concor dia (La.) Gazette.
