AGRICULTURAL.
Results of Cultivation.
"What's them things, mister" asked a
countrymen of a Fulton Market (New
York) fruit dealer, pointing to a peculiar
looking fruit about two inches in diameter,
' of a terra cotta color, closely resembling
an apple in shape, and having a needle-like
point at one end and something like an
acorn cup at the other.
"Why, these are the celebrated Tennes
see persimmons !"
"These persimmons," said the dealer to
a Tribune reporter, "came from a farmer
near Nashville, Tenn., who makes a spe
cialty of growing them. He finds it a pro
fitable business, and has brought the
heretofore worthless fruit to a high state
of perfection. The specimens are green,
of course, and were sent to me for compari
son with the Japanese persimmon. I find
them larger, but cannot judge of their
flavor until they are ripe, which they are
not till bitten by the frost. Frost mellows
them and removes all astringency, making
them as sweet as sugar and of a delicious
flavor.
"The persimmon,indigenous to the South
grows upon small trees seldom exceeding
fifty feet in height, and in a wild state the
fruit is small and unattractive, though
extremely sweet after irost. Children are
fond of the persimmon, but they are most
popular with the 'possum.who walks forth
nightly to regale himself and become a
victim of the boys and dogs who know
just where to find him. A persimmon
tree is a 'possum's Delraonica. Some
people have experimented with persim
mons in various ways, and I have known
them to be dried and pressed, in which
condition tbey eat as well as the dates of
Arabia. The farmer from whom these came
has realized as much as $10 a bushel for
his cultivated variety, and, I understand,
he has devoted a goodly portion of his
land to a persimmon orchard, with the in
tention of showing the American people
just what can bo done with a product
which grows in every old field in the
southern and central States, and has here
tofore been looked upon as little less than
a nuisance."
A Model Farmer.
In 1880, Mr J. M. Dalton, who has a
neat little farm, consisting of four hun
dred acres of land, one hundred and fifty
of which are clear eo, was in debt. He
purchased the place which is just two
miles from town, for $2,000. By the
leniency of bis creditors he was allowed to
pay upon this $400, leaving $1,600 to be
paid in three years. Mr Dalton saw that
he had a rough road before him to pay for
his place, and this fact called into action
every energy and he began in earnest to
do something. For the first two years he
ran four plows and this year has been
running three. He thinks it a sad mis
take for farmers to increase their farms,
because they may have made a little
money, but upon the other, thinks it
better to decrease them. Of the three
plows he' had in operation last year, one
of them was on shares, so you may say he
has only farmed with two. With these
two ho has made 22 bales of cotton, seven
hundred bushels of corn and grain of
other kinds, oats and rye in abundance.
He has paid out of debt aud now has five
splendid horses and mules, aud the plan
tation under the heaviest fence and in the
best condition of any farm in the county.
The lands are only ordinary and will not
produce as well as some lands on which
some farmers are making failures, and but
for good creditors, would likely perish to
death. In the meantime, Mr Dalton has
lost several horses and mules. His motto
is work. It strikes us that when a man
can pay for a plantation and have money
ahead, as in this case, it is all folly to say
that there is no money in farming, nor an
excuse for young men to leave the farm.
Our object in writing up these farms is
not to make a show or boast, but simply
to encourage others to imitate a good ex
ample. Dublin, Ga.,) Gazette.
m
Biting Horses.
A foreign journal avers that horses are
successfully cured of this vice by putting
a piece of hard wood, an inch and a half
square,' in the animal's mouth, about the
same length as an ordinary snaffle bit.
It may be fastened by a thong of leather
passed through two holes in the ends of
the wood, and secured to the bridle. It
must be used in addition to the bit, but
in no way to impede the working of the
bit. ltarey adopted the plan with the
zebra in the Zoo, which was a terrible
brute at biting. Mr Rarey succeeded,
however, in taming and training liira to
harness, and drove him through the streets
, of London.. Animals with this vice should
be treated kindly in the stable and not
abused with pitchfolk handles, whips, etc.
An apple, crust of bread, a piece of beef,
etc., and a kind pat, but firm, watchful
hand and eye, with the use of the above
wooden bit, will cure the most inveterate
biter. The fact that he cannot shut his
mouth or grip anything soon dawns upon
him, and then he is conquered.
A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post airs his experience in min
ing investments. Fourteen hundred shares
in seven companies have cost him, with in
terest and assessments, $28,754; and the
present value of the whole is $1128. He
says "just such wild schemes are being
i . . . . . . . "
concociea almost daily under the, guise of
mining enterprise, the promoters being
seemingly wholly unamendable to law;"
and he recommends such judicious legis
lation as shall prevent their multiplica
tion, &c. To which the Post replies, no
possible legislation will protect imprudent
people against themselves. Men in haste
to be rich and wanting to make money
easily, are among the most gullible of
mortals, who learn nothing but by bitter
experience, and some not even by that.
Roup. P. E., in the Country Gentle
man, offers the following valuable sug
gestion about this disease : I have had
considerable experience in roup, and have
found it the worst disease which ever at
tacked my fowls. It can sometimes be
prevented by feeding a little sulphur every
morning in hot feed. As soon as a fowl
shows any signs of the roup (such as
swelled head or hard breathing) take it
from the flock at once. When its head
swells, apply turpentine freely, being
careful to keep it out of its eyes. If its
head is badly swollen I would use a lancet,
ota sharp knife, to cut the skin over the
largest bunch. When this is done a green
substance appears, which must be re
moved. As soon as it is . removed the
fowl will be better. If the disease is in
the throat, use a little turpentine on a
feather.
Never rest satisfied with your
farm till every square yard you cultivate
is rich enough to make ten barrels of corn
to the acre.
Winter Care of Horsei.
If your horses are doing little or no
work, once a day is often enough to feed
them corn, but give them plenty of fodder
or hay, and good warm quarters at night
and on cold, stormy days. With a good
stable the horse can get along on light
feed, if not at work. But if working be
should have his regular meals of corn
three times a day. Like all other ani
mals, the horse requires a good deal of fat
forming food to keep up a good supply of
animal heat, and it regularly employed
out of doors in winter, must have it, or
the animal suffers and rapidly falls off in
flesh. It is best to feed crushed or ground
corn in winter, with a little warm salt
watnr Tn storm v weather it is best to
carry water that is milk warm to the sta
ble, and not expose the animal to chilling
blasts out of doors.
EST It may seem extravagant to cut
up and plant the largest, smoothest and
nicest potatoes raised, but a very few
trials, taking one year with another, will
Boon convince the grower that it is the
most profitable thing to do.
2" Exneriments in covering wheat
show that the yield is best when the seed
is covered two inches deep.
In the Light.
There is a spiritual darknesB. He who
dwells in it. though the sun may shine in
its noonday splendor upon his head, will,
as to his inner life of thought, be in the
shadows. It is to him midnight within,
though it be midday without. The soul
does not see God. Doubts arise and
abide. It is an arctic night dismal and
cold. The truth is obscure. God is afar
off. The realities of eternity are dreams.
Conscience ia not dead, indeed, nor silent.
The dull and ceaseless pain is augmented
by the blindness and hardness and sinful
ness of the heart.
This darkness thickens the tongue.
He stammers who speaks of the things of
God while he does not see the truth of
God with the true inner light.
The law of personal life and of pulpit
power is the law of the Sunday-school
teacher's labor. Blind of soul, a Sunday
school teacher will be a blind leader of
the blind. If he does not know he can
not speak with authority.
There ir a spiritual light an illumina
tion within, clear as a June sky, without
cloud or mist. God is, and the soul sees
him, and sees him as a Friend and Father.
Love is ardent. Conscience is at peace.
The will is firm. Eternity opens out be
fore the soul, full of glory, and amid its
blazing splendors one sees his everlasting
inheritance. His faith is vision.
Such men speak with power. They
know. They know that they know. As
surance gives boldness. The tones of the
voice tell it. The flash of the eye tells it.
The words, plain and unequivocal, ring
with assurance, lhe very pose ot the
body has an air of humble confidence in
it. S. S. Journal.

Popularity at home is not always the best

that no other medicine has won for itself
such universal approbation in its own city,

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
The following letter from one of oar best
known Massachusetts Druggists should be of
interest to every sufferer :
RHFIIMATISM
"Eight years ago I
had an attack of
iwninMwiiii Rheumatism, so se
vere that I could not move from the bed, or
dress, without help. I tried several reme
dies without much if any relief, until I took
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, by the use of two
bottles of which I was completely cured.
Have sold large quantities of your Sarsa
parilla, and it still retains its wonderful
popularity. The many notable cures it has
eilected in this vicinity convince me that it
is the best blood medicine ever offered to the
public. E. F. Harris."

By a novel arrangement of a SERIES OF
FINE COILED WIRE SPRINGS, which
yield readily to every movement of the wearer,
the most Perfect Fitting and Comfortable Corset
ever made is securea.
These springs are warranted to retain their
perfect elasticity until the Corset is worn out;
and, unlike rubber, will not heat the person nor
decay with age.
It will fit perfectly a greater variety of forms
than any other and is approved by the best phy
sicians in the country. Is warranted to give
satisfaction or money refunded.

Messrs. Foy.Harmou & Co: I have examined
Ball s Health Corset, and have no hesitation In
saying that it is, in my opinion, the best I have
ever seen. I cannot see how, with one of these
corsets, it will be possible to practice tight
lacing. It you can succeed in bringing it into
general use, you will confer a great blessing on
the females of our country. Very truly yours,

From my investigation. I am thoroughly satis
fied that it has merits above any other made.
W. Q. Alling, M. D.
Chicago, Oct 25, 1880.
I have examined Ball's Health Preserving
Corset and believe it is in every respect best cal
culated to preserve the health of the woman who
wears it.
It does not seem possible for the wearer of
such a corset to be injured by tight lacing. It
should receive the favorable, endorsement of the
physicians who have the opportunity of examin
ing it. ' ' : Jakes Netttjs Hyde.
