THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER: JUNE 30, 1891. PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE. 8 , . , . : ; " ' t -i r ' " v- r"7 r""""1 1 ' m Mr. Editor : Farming does not con sist simply of plowing anl hoeing. There must be an intelligence to govern and properly direct labor in order to acquire much beyond simple exist ence. No one will dispute the fact that it is necessary for doctors, lawyers and other professional men to study their business and to spend time and money in preparation for their life work. But how is it with the farmer? ' He can get along," you say, 44 without study and preparation." You are right ; he can get along like nine-tenths of our hard-working, honest farmers who see little comfort in the present and but slight hope for the future. He can get along because ho has a business that will pay something in spite of ignorance and neglect. Are you pre pared to say the farm would not pay more if the farmer were really master of his business? Practical questions are coming up every day, on which there are doubts and fears ; things new that would be tried if there was no fear of failure. It is becoming more and more ap parent each year that the farmer must diversify his crops. Experience, this year again proves the statement. Cot ton is not promising, and bids fair to be a failure in many cases. Grass and clover was never better. Stock raising never offered better returns, and so it goes from year to year. Agricultural colleges should teach young men something of the various lines of farming and stock raising, in order that farmers may be scattered over the various sections of the State, familiar at least with the scientific principles which underly their calling. Let us see if it is worth anything for the farmer to intelligently answer the questions asked the Freshman class on their final examination at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. 1. For this climate, what aro the names of the best growing clover and grasses ? 2. If you were going to seed for a meadow, at what rateper acre in pounds of seed would you sow of each, separately, and what amount of, in combination. State the kinds of grass and number of pounds of each. 3. If you were to seed down a pasture, how would you select the seed, and how prepare the land, and what time of the year would you sow? 4. If the Colorado beetle troubled your Irish potatoes, how would you fight them? Give proportions. 5. What is meant by soiling? What is gained by this system? Give as many advantages as you can of the soiling system. 6. Should a farmer in this climate soil, and if so what kind should he fol low? 7. Give the stages in the life of in sects. 8. What insect injures apples most? 9. What is an artery? 10. What are capillaries? These questions are left for your con sideration. Is it worth while to know them? J. R. Chamberlain. NOTICE FRORITATE EXECU TIVE COMMITTEE. The State Alliance does not pay the expenses of anyone visiting or speak ing to Alliances except the State Presi dent or lecturers, and any Alliances inviting speakers to address them should expect at least to pay their ex penses. S. B. Alexander, J. M. Mewborne, J. S. Johnston Committee. A Liberal Offer. Dr. Charles C. Huxley, the eminent and world famous Catarrh Specialists of the Huxley Dis pensary, Palmyra, N. Y., will send to all suf ferers from Catarrhal Diseases, such as Catarrh, (proper) Acute, Chronic and Ulcerative, Catar rhal Bronchittis, Asthmatic Catarrh, Catar rhal, Dyspepsia, Catarrh of the Eye and Ear, ' Hay Fever, Incipient or Lingering Consumption, sending him their address, (one stamp) his new pamphlet publication, (35th edition, 1,000,000 copies now ready) entitle!: "Huxley on Ca tarrh, its Cause and Effect. " This book contains numerous unsolicited testi monials of the highest character. It gives vivid descriptions of the terrible suffering endured as described by the sufferers themselves. Heart felt praise, acknowledgement and the choicest blessings of this life and the life to come are herein bestowed upon the venerable physician, and are the genuine outpourings of grateful hearts who have been restored to health and an enjoyable life by Dr. Huxley at d his suppreme treatment. The book also contains valuable information .never before published regarding this, the most terrible disease that afflicts hu manity at the present day. He will also send to the same address his "ev Plan and Special Offer'" to Catarrh sufferers. Dr. Huxley's great fame as a Catarrh specialist, and the triumphant success lie has achieved in restoring to health so many thousands of his suffering fellows dur ing the past thirty-five years, makes his offer a liberal one; and one that every reader of this paper suffering in any form from atarrh. Hay Fever, Incipient or lingering Consumption, should avail themselves of at once, as it costs nothing! His address is, Dr. Charles C. Huxley, Huxley Medical Dispensary, 10, 12 and 14 Gates St., Palmyra, N. Y. A National Event. The holding of the World's Fair in a city scarcely fifty years old will be a remarkable event, but whether it will really benefit this nation as much as the discovery of the Restora tive Nervine by Dr. Franklin Mile's is doubtful. This is just what the American people need to cure their excessive nervousness, dyspepsia head ache, dizziness, sleeplessness, neuralgia, nervous debility, dullness, confusion of mind, etc. It acts like a charm.
