THE AGNOSTIC AND CHRISTIAN. I. Exhorting them to continue in tin- Acts xiv , It is hardly possible to doubt the statement that great ideas have a tendency to broaden and deepen the man who ponders them, while small ideas have an opposite influence. Large think- makes large living. If it be true that a man is known by the companions he keeps, the rule may applied to his thoughts as well as to his friends. What is needed to make men complete, to develop human until it assumes grand pro- portions, is a series of lofty mo- If you feel that something is desirable, and that it you possible for you to attain if, yet, are a flame with enthusiasm, the hardest work you can do is a constant delight provided it brings you nearer to the of your purpose. And the reverse is equally true; for if you are convinced that it does not pay to do the hard work, that the chances are against your reaching the end you seek, your conviction dissipates zeal saps the courage which is quired to overcome difficulties- Now, there are two widely theories of life, by equally honest, cultured and well equipped scholars, and examination of their practical results or, in other words, a fair and impartial comparison of two lives which represent will be both suggestive The agnostic one who would like to believe but cannot. He has reached a pretty definite con- that a man is an exquisite piece of machinery, composed of certain chemical elements which ultimately return to the earth air. The man ends his career at death. The drama is in one act, and when the curtain drops is nothing more to look forward to. Of immortality and heaven, of a soul -Ii will to exist, of a God who is something more than eternal of a which overlooks and guides destiny, tempering the wind to the lamb, he says. The let us linger a moment in order to define terms. We do nor refer to the ecclesiastical Christian who has formulated an iron and who scuds you to the pit unless you ac sept every proposition in it. for m in on earth so crudely misinterprets the Scripture as he does, or so poorly represents his Master. We have our mind other kind of man who pervaded by the generous, the pitying, the loving spirit of the Nazarene. This man, who is no more will- to be unscientific or than his brother, the agnostic, believes that God reigns supreme that we arc all His children, and that the children can co with the Father by moans of prayer ; that life may a rough journey, with hardships sorrows, but every one of them may be turned to good account if we meet them bravely ; that above us are unseen beings a cloud of invisible, but potent who are always ready to extend a helping hand ; that beyond us is a home where those who have departed awaiting our val. Be it understood that for our present purpose we do not engage in controversy as to the truth or falsity of either theory. Neither do we in the slightest de- question the honesty of either contestant. The agnostic is just as loyal a lover of truth as the Christian, the Christian is as unwilling to be led mentally astray as the agnostic. They are both in search of facts which can trusted both desire to be entirely fair and just. can admire those doughty knights who tight under different ban- for they are without fear and without reproach. It would folly to denounce the agnostic and pure bigotry to declare that he will not go to heaven for the reason that he has never believed that there is one. because we may be sure that no and noble soul will excluded. When Christ sits as judge He will con- no man who has done what he could all he could- But this we do say, without any hesitation whatever, that the mo- which flow from these two theories are unequal for the production of the virtues which make life beautiful and human character symmetrical. The evidence of the world's ex is decidedly in favor of the Christian and pitifully op- posed to the agnostic. In the language of man who hag studied history or even attended to the of everyday life can doubt the practical of trust If one has no faith and no trust he goes into good as a forlorn hope. He can look only to himself, can worship only him- self, from the future comes no hand. The Christ- can proudly assert that the world would better if the spirit of the Nazarene pervaded its councils, and dare offer contradiction. The agnostic must needs admit that if all kind thought as he did, and if that wide range of which are only partly operative in so- were eliminate., it be little short of a moral There is a subtle something in the religion which brace- the soul to meet emergencies, and a subtle unbelief which robs us of strength when most we it. The man with no faith is not the peer of the man who feels the pressure of an almighty and supporting arm ho is nigh to under the sorrows which come to every one of us. This, then, is all we say for the if we looK at life from a purely practical stand point the Christian can do more than the agnostic to broaden our shoulders for inevitable burdens, and more to lighten the heart when tears are more to us to resist temptation, and more to make us cheerful and happy to the end of our days. Au if the ideas which ennoble us make us strong to do bat- for right and justice, if those ideas are not true, what kind of a world is this in which we live Applying the Rule the Other Way. A Chinaman, says the Christian Advocate, applied for the position of cook in a family in one of our Western cities. The lady of the house and most of the family were members of a fashionable church, and they were determined to look well after the character of the servant. So when John Chinaman appeared at the door he was you drink whiskey said he, you play cards He was employed and great satisfaction. He did his work well, was honest, upright, correct and respectful. After some weeks lady gave a party and had wines at the table- John China- man was called upon to serve the party and did so with grace and acceptability. But next morning he waited on the lady and said he wished to quit work. what is the matter V Inquired. John man; told you so before ; no heathen ; no for THANKSGIVING DAY.

This in y sound strange to readers, be canst many of them think the op have won a great victory and that the populist patty is to this Our reason for saying that the populist party is doomed, is its disastrous defeat in the West and Northwest, where it originated and acquired its greatest strength.

And to cap the climax, their former Pres- candidate, Glen. Weaver, has been defeated for Congress in Iowa- other words the Re- publicans have recaptured State that had been captured from by the Populists, and those States the Populists will no louder have any power. So that while our populist neighbors here are over their apparent success, over their joining the Republicans against the Democrats, their party in other States has been disastrous defeated by this very same Re- publican party. They may now rejoice here at the Re- publicans to defeat tho Demo- but elsewhere they are be- wailing their annihilation by the Republicans. we here that 1896 not a single, State will be carried by the Populists.

It is one of the almost cable mysteries of modern life that, while thousands of men in I the great cities of America are idle or dragging out a precarious wages, farmers often find it difficult to secure the necessary help on their farms.

Procure a supply of pine straw from the woods in a dry time and keep it under cover ready for use. Dig the potatoes as soon as frost cuts the vines. If not convenient to dig at once, cut the frosted vines off at once, or they will harbor fungus growth that will damage the potatoes. Dig on a warm sunny the potatoes along the row as dug. and do not allow them to be bruised by throwing into piles. Handle at all times as gently as eggs. Allow them to lie in the sun the day. and in the evening haul to a convenient place. I Mace a good lay- a foot thick, of pine or other straw on the ground, and on this, pile the in steep heaps, not over bush- els in a pile. Cover the piles thickly all over with the dry pine a rough board shed over the piles, and let them remain until the weather grows colder, or until they have gone through a sweat and dried off. Then cover the heaps with earth six or eight inches thick and boat smooth. The points are the sweating under the previous cover pine straw be- fore covering with earth, very careful handling, and the board cover over- head. Dry earth keeps out more cold than wet earth. If for family use, put in smaller piles and take up an entire heap at once for use, keeping them in a dry warm place while F. Massey, Horticulturist, N. C. Station.

Tho cut to the left shows a young branch. The cut shows the general appear- of the mature thistle and seed, also a branch of a young plant. It is hoped that our farmers will keep a sharp look out for this weed, and ex- terminate It as soon as it appears. It is a dry land plant and will be most troublesome on uplands. The grave responsibility for intro- this and other noxious weeds such as the Canada thistle, must be ac- by those improvident farmers who buy and use western hay while living in a country able to produce as good hay and forage as any upon which the sun shines. Gerald thy, N. C. Experiment Sta- Error In Report of Crimson Clover Seed Yield for A recent press article gave the crop of seed for this year grown at the Ex- farm at per acre. When this statement was made a of the field recently added, was unintentionally omitted from the cal- of the yield. We hasten to make the correction. This increased area would reduce the value of seed to per acre. However if the straw were included, the total value would be about as first reported. The crop of seed in 1893 was pounds per acre, which at the low price realized this year, would amount to 168.68 per acre, or 818.07 per acre more than the crop for 1894 as first re- ported. The loss by weather-beating amount- ed to 814.43. which is enough to size the necessity of employing every means possible to save the crop in good weather. On this point the Experiment Station expects to have a seasonable article for next spring before the seed is E. Emery, Agriculturist, N. C. Experiment Station. The Thistle. One of the most noxious of recent emigrants from Europe is the Russian thistle, Kali. var. This weed is a native of Russia where it has long been known as a pest in the wheat fields of that empire. In this country it first became troublesome In the wheat-growing see. of the Dakotas. It has since spread into many of the western and north- western states. is the magnitude of this pest that the Senate of the States in the last session of con- passed a bill appropriating for exterminating it, but the a failed to become a law. It is the nature of this weed when ripe to lose its hold upon the soil and roll up into a ball In this form on the level of the northwest it is blown for hundreds of miles. spreading its seeds far and wide. While growing each plant forms a thick close patch killing out the grain, and may in this way ruin an entire field. The I seeds of this weed are liable to be brought to North Carolina and other southern Pea and Bean Weevils. Many hundred bushels of garden peas and beans, cow peas and beans will be destroyed by weevils in this state during the coining winter, unless proper treatment be used. These wee- are two species of the genus B. the pea weevil, is the and is blackish with white spots. It attacks only garden peas, never gar- den beans or the cow pea. which is a true bean. The beta weevil. B. is a rather small yellowish hairy in- sect. This weevil never attacks gar- den peas, but is greatest pest of beans and cow peas. Both species lay their eggs, upon the growing pods in the field garden. The eggs hatch in a few days and the young grub bores its way into the seeds. The grub lives within the seed until it has completed its growth and become a perfect or winged insect. The pea weevil never lays her eggs upon hard or mature seeds the bean weevil in a warm mate like ours, grows from the egg to the winged state in about two months. The female at once lays her eggs upon the hard and mature beans or cow peas, and these in turn mature and produce other insects and the process may con- as many farmers know to their cost, until the whole package of beans or cow peas is consumed. cheapest and most remedy for both weevils is Bi- sulphide of carbon. It is a good plan to run the seed through a fanning mill shortly after gathering. This cleans the seed and destroys many eggs on the bean. Harden peas and beans kept for seed and cow peas should always be treated with this substance before be- stored away and as soon as possible after being harvested. Place the seeds in a tight barrel which should not be quite full. On top of the seeds place a saucer containing three or four of the Cover the barrel tightly with a cover upon which should be placed a heavy cloth of any kind except rubber or oil cloth- The will quickly and penetrate the entire mass of killing every grub and beetle. the covered barrel to stand for twenty four then remove the cover and permit, the fumes to escape.

C. by Gerald gist. V E. Experiment The bee is the form of a medium sized dark moth. Gal- a native of the old world but now everywhere introduced in this country. The most satisfactory remedy is to keep only strong colonies of Italian bees. These are so active that they will not permit the worms to remain their hives if they can get at them. Only movable frame hives should be used. Another plan is to remove the frame, brush off all webs and kill the worms therein, then with a sharp pointed knife cut out the worms tun- the comb. Where there are many frames infested they may be piled loosely or hung in a tight box or barrel and two or three of carbon in a saucer placed on top of the pile and the box or barrel covered tightly for twenty-four hours. Then remove the covering and expose the frames to the air till all odor of the carbon has evaporated. Do not bring this substance near a fire or light as it explodes very easily. Pieces of comb, dirty frames, etc., should never be permitted to litter hive yards or honey houses as the worms breed in such. As to moving bees if you mean to re- move them to a house for the winter it should not be done until cold weather sets in or better still not at all. Use chaff hives or cover the hives with burlap sacks or padded sheets in cold weather. In this climate bees do not long remain dormant in winter. If you mean to remove bees from one location to another the best time is in early or three weeks before the bees begin to fly. The entrance to hives should be until the bees have become accustomed to their new location. There is more Catarrh in section of the country than all th-r c put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- it a local disease, and ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science ha proven to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. o. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken inter- in dons from drops to a tea- spoonful, it acts directly on the Mood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any it fails to cure.
