AGRICULTURAL.
Grass and Clover.
Clover seed may be town on the fall
seeded oats, rye, or wheat any time the
latter part of ebruary, or in marou.
After the seed are scattered the field
should be harrowed with a light drag to
get a little loose soil about the seed. The
harrowing will also benefit the grain a
good deal. If grass is wanted with the
clover, sow the usual quantity of orchard
grass at the same time the clover is sown,
and as the seed of this grass are very
light, and it is difficult to scatter them
evenly by hand, the quautity of seed had
better be divided into equal parts, and
one part sown in one direction and the
other in the opposite direction. This will
secure greater regularity in the distribu
tion of the seed, and the grass will come
up more uniform. The seed may first be
dampened and then rolled in ashes or
plaster, to give them more weight.
Clover and orchard grass makes the
best possible combination of grass for this
section and climate, either for pasturage
or hay. Stock will eat a mixture of the
two cut together, when they will take to
either one separately but indifferently.
And then there are advantages in sowing
the two together. If the clover fails - to
make a catch, the grass will not. Again
the grass will be green and succulent at
times when the clover is dry, or dried
out. The clover will be better for early
spring grazing, the grass for late summer
and autumn. Do not omit to sow a lot to
clover and grass enough for the milch
cow if no more. .
Farmers' Clubs.
In the Yorkville Enquirer ol last week,
I read with much interest the communi
cation from the Bethel Farmers' Club.
Something of this sort must be done by
our farmers everywhere to bring about
better yields of all kinds of crops, or ihe
oountry will be found most years in its
present condition. If one or two farmers
under the stimulus of a small premium,
offered ' by a local club, can so increase
the production of two of our staple cropB
on a single acre of ground, why may not
such yields be the rule and not the ex
ception? Here aud there throughout the
Southern oountry we read each year of
fine yields of cotton, corn, oats, wheat
and tobacco, as marked exceptions to the
general crop; thus proving that there
must be a great fault somewhere. The
intensive system on the one hand, or
larger areas carefully prepared for, and
cultivated entirely by improved .ma
chinery, seem to be the methods necessary
for lowering the cost of production.
With the cost of production thus lowered,
the amount of clear profit is the greatest
to those farmers who know how to prac
tice intelligent economy ; whilst the
whole country is more prosperous by the
difference between cost and market value.
It is not the seemingly low price of cotton
that is embarrassing the country; but it is
the cost at which this crop was raised.
In the experiment of Mr Clinton, it id
stated that he used a variety of corn
known as "Anderson." If this is the
same corn with which the writer experi
mented for five years in York county, it
will be another feather in his cap ; but
Mr Clinton will have to try again. Mr
Hardaway of Thomasville, Georgia, with
this same corn, raised 87J bushels on one
acre; aud the writer raised 96 bushels on
one acre of branch bottom, and 156 bush
els on three acres of upland. The 96
bushels was raised in '78, and the 156
bushels in '77; both of which years were
very dry at the time that corn was
making.
The writer, with his present experience,
regrets that he did not persevere in the
attempt to improve and largely increase
the productiveness of this corn. Dr.
Parker of Columbia, is on record as hav
ing produced 214 bushels of corn on one
acre of land ; and the possibilities, in the
writer's opinion, are beyond that. The
man who makes 250 bushels on one acre
will be getting nearer the mark; but he
will have much to learn and many things
to observe very closely before he can
make them all work together in such
grand results. D. C. Anderson in York
ville Enquirer.
Ramie.
As ramie appears to be the coming
crop of the South, we compile from the
circular of Messrs Juvenet & Co., New
Orleans, the following information for the
benefit of any of our readers who may de
sire to experiment a little thereon the
present season :
Ramie is a perennial plant, that is, does
not require to be planted every year, but
once in the ground, is permanent like an
orohard. It is related to hemp, but
claimed to be far superior to it in value.
It grows like the willow and sends up nu
merous stalks several times a year. The
roots run deep into the ground and to, of
course, the plant is not affected by dry
weather. It draws its food as much from
the air as it does from the ground ; so
this, with its deep rooting, makes it a
small exhauster of the soil. It yields two
to three cuttings each season.
The planting is done in March. The
mode of planting is similar to that of the
Irish potato The rows are about four
feet apart and the ramie roots are dropped
one foot apart along the drill and covered
three to four inches deep, in the same
way the potato is covered. Of course it
is easily and quickly done. If the land is
in fair condition of fertility, uo manuring
is necessary, otherwise a little manuring
would be good to give the roots a start.
It requires about 10,000 sets or roots to
plant an acre. At present the sets cost
high. But this is the only expensive item
about the crop, and when we consider
that ground once planted does not have
to be replanted, the actual cost is not so
great. ;
The cultivation is as simple as that ol
corn; only a few plowings each season to
keep the weeds down and the soil loose.
No hoe work is called for. Once well
started it rapidly outgrows all weeds, and
soon shades the ground. An acre will
readily yield 2,000 pounds crude fibre a
year, which at five cents per pound makes
a gross return of $100. The cost of cul
tivating is, say $10, and cutting aud pre
paring for market $10 more.
The cutting can be done with a mower
or with a grass blade. The stalks are
tied in bundles for convenience in hand
ling, and taken to the decorticator. The
latter should be owned by a company,
and do the work for a whole neighbor
hood. However, the machine is not
costly, and large farmers would prefer
their own.
It is said ramie fibre makes a stronger
and finer cloth than flax. It is soft and
silky, and possesses a beautiful gloss.
All the States from Virginia southward
are said to be perfectly adapted to ramie
olture.
. One Acre Better than Two.
It is better to raise one hundred bush
els of corn on an acre of ground than fifty.
The yield could be doubled on nearly
every acre of ground in cultivation.
What is wanted is deeper plowing and
better preparation of the soil, and more
thorough after cultivation. This skim
ming over, the ground is one of the great
evils of farming. Flow deep and then
cross-plow deep, and you prepare food
and moisture for the plants, and enable
them to resist the droughts, and make
them grow and thrive and bear abun
dantly. Many farmers plow but a few inches
deep and get small yields. They have so
much ground to work that none of it is
well worked. Better by far to cultivate
only half as much and cultivate it better
and get far more than by the slip-shod
system of farming too generally followed.
It is better to thin out the plants and keep
out the weeds, and cultivate fifty acres as
they Bhould be cultivated than to give a
"lick and a promise" to a hundred acres.
It is better to harvest the same yield off
of one acre than to go over two acres for
it. This is the time that our readers
should think of these matters. Exchange.
What Shall the Farm Produce?
Every farmer at the beginning of the
planting season ought to put on his "study
cap." He ought to ask himself what be
is going to raise to make money this year.
Shall he make it on farm crops, on pork,
beef, or mutton? Shall he put down his
farm in meadows and pastures and rent
them out another year, or keep, or buy
stock, and feed what he raises? Shall be
put out a large acreage in corn and fatten
hogs or beef? Butter, eggs, chickens,
green and dried orchard fruits, as well as
staple crops, should receive consideration
and be made to contribute to the farmer's
income.
But all farmers should bear in mind
that the wants of the family must not be
forgotten that plenty of potatoes, cab
bage, sweet corn, green peas and all kinds
of garden vegetables must be produced.
What folly to say there is no field for en
terprise. Farmers of enterprise, governed
by good judgment, grow rich, while those
lacking it plod on the same old ruts do
things in the same old way, and can
hardly make accounts balance at the end
of the year.
A Model Farmer. There is a man in
Nash county, well known to us, and who
now lives in the neighborhood of our old
home, who has been keeping house 35
years, and he never has bought a pound
of meat, or a peck of meal during that
long period. He lias bacon on hand which
was put up 19 years ago, and there is not
a bug or skipper on it. He has on hand
now the wheat raised in 1884-85, and
makes everything on his farm that is ab
solutely required for sustenance and com
fort and happiness. Such a man is rich,
and he is. Asheville Advance.

to the public as a good remedy.
G. W. Mullis, Monroe, N. C.
Rockingham, N. C , April Cth, 1885.
This certifies that I have used the medicine
named Hornet's Nest Liniment, sold by W. N.
Mullen, and am satisfied that it has real merit.
I can recommend it as a good remedy. Will
do what is claimed for it.
T. W. Guthrie.
Dear Sir: My little boy fell and bruised his
shoulder and arm bo that he could not uso his
arm. X used a email bottle of your Hornet s
Nest Liniment. It gave him use of his arm
after the first application, and cured him in a
short while. I have used it in several other
cases, and find it to be an excellent remedy.
J. W. Elliott, Pineville, N. C.
Oak Grove, Union Co., N. C, Sept. 12, 1885.
W. N. Mullen : I used your Hornet's Neat
Liniment on my little boy, who was suffering
with a severe attack of diphtheria, his throat
being so badly swollen that he was past speak
ing, and it relieved him in a few hours, and
cured him perfectly well. I have also used it in
other cases and find it of great benefit, and never
intend to be without it in my house.
