AGRICULTURAL.
Fertilizers and the Agricultural Depart
ment. The March number of the Bulletin,
issued by the North Carolina Department
of Agriculture, is devoted mainly to ex
hibiting the practical results of the De
partment. It essays to show that it has
exercised real influence on tho material
progress of the State. It first considers
the protection it affords against frauds in
commercial fertilizers. It is full on this
head and satisfactory. It next discusses
the good resulting from the discovery
and development of phosphate beds. A
third instanoe of good done is the devel
opment of the coal fields. Dr. Dabney,
in charge of the Experiment Station, dis
cusses, first, what are experiment stations;
seoond, the quality and cost of fertilizers
for five years. He shows that under the
operations of the Station the farmers
eon Id eet in 1885 for three millions of dol
lars what they had to pay four millions
for in 1880 yes, and get an article one
sixth better than the 1880 article was.
In the third place, he diecnases fertilizer
valuations for- the year, and lastly the
analyses of fertilizers. The Station is
giving the farmers more analyses and
earlier this year than ever before. It is
able to do this by an inorease of workers.
There are eighty-five brands of fertil
izers used in North Carolina. Of these
North Carolina furnishes 9 ; South Caro
lina 11; Virginia 18; Maryland 31; Dela
ware 4; New Jersey 2; New York 4;
Connecticut 3, and Massachusetts 4. We
are pleased to see North Carolina doing
so well. Her 9 brands ought to be mul
tiplied. It is noticeable that 69 of the
brands are from Maryland, Virginia and
the two Carolinas. The Bulletin gives a
full list of every analysis made for 1886.

The Corn Crop.
As the time for planting corn is ap
proaching, we propose saying a few words
on ;he past and present cultivation of the
crop. We suppose that forty to fifty
years ago means "old times." In pre
paring corn ground at that time a differ
ent process was followed than the present,
but not as we see it stated, by merely
throwing two rough furrows of unplowed
ground together, and after running cross
furrows to simply plant the corn on the
top of the ridge. We do not mean to fay
that this miserable way was uot pursued
by some lazy or ignorant farmers, but it
was not the common way by any meant ;
indeed, we never saw it followed, though
accustomed to notice farming for some
sixty years. This, however, was the way
most followed. Manure and plow the
land, harrow thoroughly, then run two
opposite furrows and also run like cross
furrows. Flatting on the lop of the lit
tie ridge by this means made the rows
uniform both ways, and admitted freely
of plowing and harrowing (there being no
"cultivator" at that time,) both ways if
necessary. This plan was more laborious
than the present one, and more "scien
tific." lbe crops produced by it on good
farms were as abundant as now.- For
many years after the present method was
introduced this was continued as the
best, and that looked upon as lacking in
skill and good sense. But as a rule far
more attention is paid to the crop now
than forty or fifty years ago. It was al
ways customary to either manure in the
hill or apply 'plaster after the plant had
grown two or three inches. And we re
peat that we have witnessed as fine crops
of eorn by the old method as we have by
the new. This much we feel enjoined to
say in behalf of the way our fathers and
grandfathers cultivated the corn crop.
A few years ago, on the strength of an
experiment or two by one of our agricul
tural colleges, which seemed to show a
gain of from 10 to 15 per sent in the pro
duct of drilled-over-the-hill system of
planting corn, a number of farmers at dif
ferent points adopted the drill system,
and for one or two seasons thought it the
best, but we believe nearly or quite all of
them have now abandoned it and returned
to hill-planting. . We were satisfied at the
time of the experiment alluded to, that
being experiments much extra care had
been bestowed upon the crop, that they
did not furnish reliable information, and
that the old way could not be improved
on. And this has turned out to be the
case. In this section, in noticing hun
dred! of corn fields last year, we did not
enoounter one that had been drilled,
though there may be still here and there
on that follows this method.
It is so with a great many new ways
and things. They are sent forth with a
loud blast of the trumpet, and they every
where find more or less believers, who
will not.be convinced they are going to
make a worthless investment until they
find their-fingers burnt. Farmers as well
as other peopln should keep their eyes
open as to new ways and things involving
money. Germantown Telegraph.
The Breeding Hog.
la the breeding animal of whatever
kind, the digestive organs should be a
paramount consideration, for without di
gestion the animal cannot successfully
accomplish the uses for which he is in
tended. In the hog this is of the utmost
importance. In addition to this, if the
animal possesses the following charac
teristics, as condensed from the indorse
ment of the National Swine-Breeders As
sociation, the ideal standard will have
been secured :
"Such a hog must have a small head,
heavy jowl, and thick, short neck; ears
small, thin, and tolerably erect, but it in
not objectionable if it droops slightly for
ward, tie must De straight on the bot
tom, from the neck back to flank, lei
well down to the knee to the brisket, and
possessing good length from head to tail ;
back broad and slightly curved, or arched
from the shoulder to the setting on of the
tail; ribs rather barrel-shaped, tail small.
The hams should be long , from the r back
to the letting off at the loin, and be broad
and full; shoulders not so large, and yet
sufficient to give symmetry to the animal;
hair smooth and evenly set on ; skin soft
and elastic to the touch ; legs short, fine,
and set under the body, and the space
between wide.'1 Then a good depth be
tween the bottom and top of carcass will
give an ideal hog.'
p& Skimmed milk, according to Prof.
L.' B, Arnold, ia poor food for either in
fants or adults, 'and is very hard to di
gest, owing to the removal of the volatile
oil contained in the batter globule, which
is an important agent in assisting the
digestion of the lacteal fluid. : v -1 5

How to Make Hens Lay.
How I make fowls lay. Take eight
quarts of water and two teaspoonfnla of
red pepper, and put in a kettle; when the
water boils stir in enough bran and corn
meal to thioken it, and take some horse
radish, chop it up fine, and put in with
the root, and let it boil an hour. We hear
a good deal of complaint from other peo
ple about not getting eggs, so I ask them
to try this and feed once a day ; about
one handful of this feed to one hec, and
they will get plenty of eggs. Charcoal
is good for poultry, so is corn burned or
obarred on the ear, so as to keep its shape;
is excellent. It must be mixed up in soft
feed, and to get a yellow yolk I will tell
you, young and old breeders, take red
beets, cook them for your fowls and feed
them, and in two days you can see the
change ; the yolk will be as yellow as
gold, and one of the most important things
in feeding poultry, yet too often neg
lected, is a supply of good, pure drinking
water, and a fowl drinks every ten or
fifteen minutes, especially in hot weather.
Impure water is one of the worst sources
of disease. Cholera, for instance, is in all
probability often due to the drinking of
water that is not pure. Snow water will
reduce flesh as rapidly as a sharp attack
of diarrhoea. The best thing is to have a
stream of running water. A few rusty
nails in water is good, or a few drops of
the tincture of iron every other day.
The vessels must be kept clean, and water
should be warmed in winter for fowls, as
it is better, as it does not chill them.
This I have tried and found it is far the
best, and your hens will do belter.
Fowls should be kept dry in winter.

Scions. Scions should be cut early
and put where they will keep in good con
dition until wanted. Cherry and plum
scions should be set during the month of
March. We prefer to do. this work on
stone fruit trees before the frost is out of
the ground. Pear and apple trees can be
grafted later, even until into May, but
April is better. Use for scions only good
sound wood ; soft wood is likely to be
black in the center, and it is not well to
use it. Scions cau be kept well in meadow
moss in a cellar, or in a close box, until
wanted. Those cut from the ends of the
limbs on bearing trees are the best.
Never nse the suckers that are thrown
out along the large limbs, if it can pos
sibly be avoided. Use care if you desire
best results.
HSiT" Give your horses and cattle an
opportunity to rest themselves at night
in a recumbent position. It is cruelty to
deprive them oi the needed rest which
they can obtain only by lying down.
Many horses are tied so short, or are kept
in such narrow stalls, that they cannot
lie, aud consequently are not half rested
for the coming day's work. This is not
only cruel, but it is unprofitable.
Diarrhoea in calces is successfully
treated by giving the whiles of egge
beaten up with water into an emulsion,
eight eggs being used to a pint of water,
and half a teaspoonful being taken at a
dose and repeated every two hours.

We have gone through the season without a
murmur. No "offering" of "low prices," "goods
at cost," etc., as has been so prevalent in the
market, because the time had not come. We
have gone along selling at a legitimate profit and
our business has been satisfactory, for people
knew that they were getting goods as low as

Could be sold , during a season when men do
business for a reasonable gain. We are now sat
isfied, finding
OUR OVERCOAT STOCK
Lower in number of garments than at any cor
responding period within six years, and as the
time has arrived for reducing stock, we shall
make an effort to
CLOSE OUT ENTIRELY
Our Overcoats every single one, if possible, and
we will make prices that will prove an invest
ment for any man to buy a top coat and hold it
for next season. As we have been selling at
regular prices against a market "at cost" the en
tile season, our action now in
A Heavy Redaction in Our Prices
Will, upon examination, be a pronounced argu
ment to the buyer. We mean exactly, that we,
have made

JOHNSTON'S
Patent Standard Dry Sized
EALSOMINE
AND FRESCO PAINTS,
For Coloring WALLS and CEILINGS.
Important Information. -We invite your
attention to our Patent Dry Sized Kalsomine
and Fresco Paints, which for years have been
Standard in the mnrket. .
They are carefu ly prepared from the finest
selected materials, and are offered for sale in the
most finely powdered condition, simply requiting
to be mixed with water to fit them for use. No
poisonous matter enters into their composition.
Pure White and vriety of beautiful tints
The advantages of our preparations are :
They are ready for immediate use, requiring
no experiment whatever, as the color and quality
are determined before they go into the bands of
the consumer.
They possess strong disinfecting properties,
and can be effectually used in cleansing and ren
dering healthful the walls of apartments impreg
nated with germs of disease.
Ready for use by adding water only.
Can be mixed and used by any one.
Can be applied with the greatest ease and facil
ity, and when dry will present a smooth, rich and
even surface, which will not rub or scale from
the wall.
If used according to directions, will work well
upon absorbent surfaces ; hence the necessity, as
heretofore, of preparing walls to stop their suc
tion, (except in extreme cases,) is overcome.
Will save the waste of materials and loss of
time common with the old mode of mixing to
produce desirable tints, etc.
Will not fade in the packages, but will keep
for years without change in color or quality.
Packed in strong man ilia packages, of box
form, holding six pounds and one pound, with
full directions for use. Also packed in bulk, in
barrels of 300 pounds, and in half-barrels of 150
pounds, and being in a dry condition, can be
cheaply transported.
Painters and decorators who will give these
goods an impartial trial, will find their interests
best served by using them. Dealers will find
them to meet with ready sale and universal ap
proval. If you cannot obtain our goods at the stores,
send us the address of a responsible dealer, and
we will send him prices, terms, etc., or he can
correspond direct.

W. N. Mullen : I used your Hornet's Nest

to the public as a good remedy.
G. W. Mtjllis, Monroe, N. 0. "t:
Rockingham, N. C, April 6th, 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 so that he could not use his
arm. I used a small bottle of your Hornet's
Nest Liniment. It gave him use of bis 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 Gbove, Union Co., N. C, Sept. 12, 1885.
W. N. Mullen: I used your Hornet's Nest
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.
