a lesson from cabbage.
Everyone knows lliat cabbage will
not grow fast or bead out well unless
they are hoed very often-. Most have
also learned that this crop dues Ihe
best if hoed very early in the morn •
ing, while the dew is on the ground.
Hoeing later in the day when the
dew has evaporated, vill not have
the same effect. The reason appear
to bo this : Tito dew being covered
with soil, is retained and helps, keep
the earth moist. It contt ins a large
amount of oxygen, which it took
from the air. Those act to decom
pose the soil and to hasten the
growth of plants. It also absorbs \
large quantity of ammonia, which isi
directly taken up by the plant. XotiJ
the same cause ought to produce tha
same effect on other plants, and iU
Las been found by observing farmer'
that they do. Market gardeners prefer
to have potatoes hoed either when t he
soil is wet with dew or after a slight
rain.
Observations made by one of the
best farmers in Wisconsin, extending
through many years, convinced him
that there was great advantage in
plowing land while it was wet with
dew. Especially was this the case
when clover or grass was plowed un
der. It was found that the grass
and sod rotted much sooner, and
that the succeeding crops were larg
er and of better quality.
SHEEP ON THE FAR}.!'.
That sheep can save farms from
litter ruin, and improve the condi
tion of good farms is beyond doubt.
—However much we may prize the
horse and the cow for their valuable
services to mankind, still we must ad
mit that the keeping of sheep is very
profitable to the farmer, in that i'
brings money to his pocket and im
proves the condition of his land.
Experience has shown that slump
husbandry is directly profitable.
There are no losses and very lew
risks to be met with in the business.
Early lambs, fat wethers, wool and
pelts always bring good prices and
find ready market. Besides, sheep
bring up the condition of the farm,
and,, as the old adage has it, ‘turns
the earth to gold wherever their foot
prints are found.’ Nothing will im
prove a farm so vrcll as a course of
husbandry in sheep, well selected
and judiciously followed. Sheep can
be made the salvation of a poor farm,
and if more of our farmers would
keep sheep, a larger share of prosper
ity would be the result.
WIIY A HEN STOPS LAYING.
There are many things that we do
not know all about yet, and this is
one of them. It is not certain that
a hen ean lay so many eggs during
her life and no more, or that the ova
ries each contain so many germs of ova,,
and that when these are exhausted
she will stop laying. The statement
that the ovary of a hen contains not ov
er 400 ova, is not true, lor some hens
that we know of have laid 800 eggs
during their lives, and arc laying
yet, at the age of eight years. A
well fed hen will lay more eggs than
a starved one, and it is more proba
ble that the ova are secreted according
to circumstances, than that they are
already in embryo in the animal, as
soon as it is formed in the egg, as
some think. —We know also that hens
stop laying in cold weather if expos
ed to the cold, but not otherwise.
RAISE YOUR OWN HOGS.
Raise your own hogs this year.
It is not difficult to do. Construct a
covered pen or house out of heavy
logs or plank; have a plank lloor, so
as to allow of cleaning; a good
strong door with a good lock, and
the work is half done. Devote from
one to ten acres to a hog range,
plant in peas, potatoes, chufas, arti
choke, etc., and pasture the hogs up
on it by means oi a movable fence
until the period arrives for cornl'eed
ing. They ean easily be learned to
come to their pens at night by throw
ing them corn, or giving them a
night feed. By this plan there is no
danger of loss by theft. This plan
will also enable the breeder to an-
prove his stock by a judfeious cross-!
ing with JJerkshiro or other impruv- |
cd breeds on the best of the native j
stock.
value of night soil.
There is no question as to the val
ue of night soil as a fertilizer. The
difficulty in the way of using it is the
handling of it. Properly managed,
it may be made no more offensive
than barn yard manure. It may be
mixed with coal ashes, or earth and
straw, so that it may be loaded on to
wagon. In many of the French and
English towns this refuse matter is
thus handled by the farmers without
difficulty, and made into inoffensive
composts for the market gardens
near by.

TUB POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 187S,
which include l * National, State ami county el c
tions, and which will undoubtedly bo the most
active and hotly contested of any since the tne
inorable canvass of 1860 is now fairly opened,
'the National fiemocratie Party will this year
make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful
struggle for the maintenance a*id supremacy of
those priueiples which arc vital to the prosperity
of tile Kepnblie and essential to the well-being
of the people.
In addition to tho Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect now
State governments. In Florida tho campaign
premises to be unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the lirst time since the
war the people of that, Radical ridden State will
elect a Democratic State government. In these
campaigns the people of the South are deeply
interested; and every intelligent citizen, who
has the welfare of bis country and his section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every detail
of tho great woik of redemption aud reform tka
is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an
independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounc
ed opinions and fearless in their expression; a
paper that is recognized everywhere as the best
daily in the South. Its editorial department is
vigorous, thoughtful, and .'ODsistcnt, while its
news and local departments are marvels of in
dustry and completeness. Its department of
Georgia arid Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere batren summary of events transpiring in
those States, hut is enlivened by comment at
i once apt. timely, and tacy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from ail parts of the
! world, through tho press dispatches, special tel
; ograrns, and by means of special correspondence:
and through thes agencies the paper will be
the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy inci
dent of the political campaign of 1870.
