They say the end will be this year, and are exciting the more ignorant classes to such an extent that it is likely to hinder farm work considerably, as a great many of the farmers believe it and say it is no use to make any preparations for crop as they have enough provisions to last this year and they will not need any more. We think they had better pay no attention to any such preaching and go to work, for of the end no man The last issue of the Bethel Voice contained the announcement of the death of its editor, Mr. Robert Ward, which occurred on the evening of February 22nd. Mr. Ward was first taken with the la grippe, the disease developing in pneumonia from which he died. Only three months before being taken sick he was married, and indeed sad that the bridal robes were so soon laid aside for the sable habiliments of widowhood. He was a young man of great and a useful citizen. The Voice also announced that the death of Mr. Ward would cause a suspension of the paper. His death and the suspension of the paper are both to be regretted. From Oar Regular Correspondent.

The Durham Am, which shines for all, at the low rate of cents a month, has just completed its first annual orbit, without getting into any eclipses or even stopping for cloudy days.

A W. road between Rocky Mount and Halifax was Whitaker's if we remember as the North bound train pulled in last Friday we counted ten men and three grown boys sitting and standing around the front of one store. What was seen there can be seen at almost any small rail- road station, and in every town as to that, but we just happened to count the number at this place out of curiosity. From the dress of several of the number we judged them to be farmers, and wondered why they were not on their farms such a pretty day. Approach such a of these of around any of the cross- roads or small town stores and in nine cases out of ten you will find them talking about While conversing upon such scenes with a large commission merchant he remarked is just that kind of idleness and laziness that causes the hard times.

The Ninth Annual Convention of the Sunday School Association of North Carolina, which was held last in Wilmington, was an occasion calculated to do much good for and create greater inter- est in the Sunday School work of our State.

The writer was present during a part of the con- apart from the pleas- ore and profit the meeting forded the enjoyment of his stay in the by the was very much heightened by the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. James Jackson whose guest he was.

There is gross neglect somewhere that causes this trouble. Three mails a week go out from Green- ville to the offices in the lower part of the county, the days being Tues- days, Thursdays and Saturdays. The Reflector mail for these offices is put into the office at Greenville every Wednesday morn- and there is no reason why it should not be forwarded prompt- on Thursday and reach all the offices not later than Friday. If the postmasters would forward the mails promptly and then distribute them promptly when destination is reached there would be no about subscribers getting their papers. The only remedy we see for the trouble is for those who handle the mails to perform their duties. We hope that when the railroad gets through that section the mails will not have to lay over so long and have so many stops as they do at present. See Later. Oxford Day.

The matter is under law left entirely to the discretion of the Secretary of Treasury, so that Mr. may, if he sees fit, give the privilege to the bidder that offers smallest sum. As the privilege has been worth more than a million n year in net profits for the past twenty years it is not strange that there should be to obtain it, and trouble may be looked for from the disappointed bidders when award is made.

An essay by Alex was next on the program. A Beading by Miss Miller was fine. A by Wilson, en- titled was both interesting instructive. The subject discussion was Anthony and many quotations of an interesting nature were read by the various members, showing that careful study of the characters had been made.

The daily gain in weight of animals intended for beef varies accord to tho breed, the vigor and the manner of feed- ; but is a period arrived at when the gain is very little. nearer tho animal approaches maturity the more it consumes and tho less weight gained, due to the demands of the animal for bodily support; tho smaller the body the less loss of food in that direction. The testing of the live and slaughtered animals at the stock shows that have been held for several years past explains that, while certain breeds of cattle are better adapted for producing greatest weight of beef to maturity, no particular breed enjoys a monopoly in that respect, even the grades and crosses of the several com- with advantage. In a comparison of at tho recent Fat Stock Show the calves under year old make remarkable daily gains. daily gain of the grades and crosses was 2.78 pounds, the Shorthorns 2.04 pounds and the Here fords 2.48 lain lids, or an average of 2.63 pounds. As calf weighs something at birth, this added to its daily gain for days, brings tho young animal to a weight respect- able before it becomes even a yearling. The gain of tho was 2.07 pounds; of tho year-olds, 1.77 pounds, and of the 3-year-olds, 1.53 pounds. There is, t lie re fore, a groat in the gain of an animal during its first year compared with its gain two years following. As this showing is the result of a comparison of more than animals, it becomes a plain fact that farmers consider. If can, by tho use of pure breeds and grades, combined with liberal feeding, secure gains approaching those of the young steers experimented with, the breeding of cattle can made While tho crosses made tho greater gain the first tho breeds gradually asserted their superior- and after tho second year larger daily gains than the grades. This is a very creditable showing in favor of the pure breeds, destroys the claim grades and crosses superior to the pure bred animals ; but it allows that the grade is nearly equal to pure bred until tho marketable ago is reached and encourages the claim that farmers may improve their stock at a small cost with advantage. The scrub could not compare with tho grades hi any respect favorably. for A decomposing sod makes tho best bed for growing potatoes I have ever tried ; but to succeed it must lie properly prepared. Tho grass should suffered to grow till about the first of June, or if a little later at the north it is still early enough for planting to insure a good crop. Now take a plow with a wide, flat share, quite at tho edge, with a sharp on the end, or, in the ab- of this fasten a to tho beam. such a plow sod can be turned flat over about one foot wide. This is necessary in order to cover tho grass completely and insure its gradual decomposition with tho turf through tho season, to furnish nutriment for tho growing crop. The turned sod ought to to three or four inches thick. If thin- than this it does not protect from a drought, and if thicker it does not thoroughly is Holes for planting may cut open with a boo blade, about three inches wide and as many deep, and six inches apart every third furrow joins its edge to a fourth, and tho seed be planted in these holes. This makes the rows three feet apart. Do not disturb sod in endeavoring to hill these rows, for a fiat cultivation is best, and so weeds will on tho surface that it will not be necessary to plow it, which if done, will injuriously disturb tho All that is necessary is, when the potato vines have grown up two to three inches, run a broad, sloping tooth harrow over the ground, and it will effectually de- all weeds and stir the surface to keep it mellow. Thus treated, a soil of moderate fer- will produce a good crop, but If it is so poor as to require fertilizing, do not spread stable manure or putrescent com- post on top of the sod and plow it in. as some recommend, for if the growing tubers touch they must it en- dangers their rotting, and in any event makes them less mealy, and injures their taste. If such manure is used it should tie spread on the ground after being well harrowed between the rows. It will then operate as a beneficial mulch hot weather, and as rain dissolves the salts, the liquid will be carried down through the turf to benefit the crop. Tho best thing to use is the potato fertilizer, applied on the bottom of the furrow as fast as the sod is turned up, and let this cover it. Some recommend spreading this fertilizer broadcast over ground after the potatoes planted, and rowing it well in. I have tried this method of application, and found benefit from it. If a moderate amount of rain falls during summer the turf will got well rotted by autumn, and the soil be in admirable tilth for a wheat crop, or in spring for any other crop the farmer may wish to B.
