SOUTHERN FARM AM) HOME. <*nlt*re by Nor Cittern Met li oils. While on * recent trip up the country < to attend a meeting of the Stock Breed ers'Association of Mississippi, I learned .f’ftom a prominent Mississippian that some men from Kansas had made a de cided sensation in the locality where they had settled ‘by their mode of rais ing corn and cotton. 1 therefore visited Major Young, near Columbus, Miss., to get some points. The. plantations of these Kansasians joins that of this gentle man. The former are under his control and that of an associate. With great liberality, Major Young has leaied them 25 acres for a year, free of rent. He then rented them a number of acres each, at the usual rent of such land— s 4 per acre, per annum. Thereaie three men, father, son and son-in-law. The father and son-in-law have their wives with them. This year the son-in-law, Mr. Evans, not wishing to over crop himself, planted 25 acres in corn, 16 acres in cotton, and 51 aeres of oats. The usual plant of a colored man is 10 acres in cot ton and 5 corn, and they do not half till that. He planted his corn in the latter part of March. He began to plant cotton April I Illi. He was very late, starting disad vantageously in not having quite the implements ho wanted, and in having a very late and wet spring. He cultivated his corn and cotton with walking culti vators, and left the ground nearly level. There was a very severe drouth, and he made a bad mistake once in cultivating his corn too deep—cutting off the roots next the side where he last worked it. I hoard several planters say that, at one time, his corn was the most, beautiful looking crop they had ever seen ; but the six weeks'’drouth, and particularly the ast working, injured it fearfully. ' By starting so late with his cotton, he was injured greatly by the boll-worm, and by the very wet August. He and his lather told me that each expect ed to make about a thousand dollars clean.money. They figured about this way; I waive bales of cot (on at $lO per bale M8(>; 1,200 bushels of corn, al otic per bushel, S6OO, and 250 bushels of oats'at s(>e, $125, making a total of $1,205. Nothing is allowed for poultry, hogs, etc. The actual result will be about as follows: Niue bales of cotton, al $lO per bale, $360; 500 bushels of corn, at 50c per bushel, $250, ami 150 bushels of oats at 50c, $75, making the total $735. He had paid sls for all work up to October sth; but as he has worked some outside, be will probably come out alsuiteven. He says he secs his mistake and by another year, under' the same con ditions, could excel this year’s crops But as Tie may not in a life time have such a long dry snell, ami need not start so late, he wdl have far better chances. He isgieatly pleased and proposes to have for next year’s crop 60 acres—3B aeres in cotton and 22 in corn. He says that he ran attend it. He intends to' plant in checks, and expects to raise a bale to an acre. • I hope he may, but it'looks too anguine. However, one gentleman neai Alieideen, Miss., has raised from 2 to 2', • bales per acre by planting in checks, dig" gmg holes ami fertiliz.Wig well, ami piling the clay about the base of the stalk sous to keep down the grass. If Mr. Evans ■*>'*<’ a bale to the acre he will get a good deal of money. His fafher-in-law. Mr. Kilmer, had 16 m resol cotton, 22$ of corn ami 3 of oats. —ILU-and his young son tilled those The father is considerably past hard work. I hey paid $8 lor work. They will make about the same crop as the first men Honed gentleman. I nearly forgot to say that when their cotton was just fairly up, they dragged it across the rows, much to the astonishment of one planter, who said they would ruin it . But Hus harrowing, almost every one says, was beneficial, as it made the earth very mellow for the tender roots »f the voung cotton.

The White K rapes. A large number of the native “ white,” or rather light green grapes were ex hibited at the time of the meeting of the American Bornological Society at Rochester, and were examined side by side, by a number of the prominent fruit growers. Among these sort were the Duchess, Prentiss, Lady, Allen’s Hybrid, Niagara, Rebecca and some others. Sev eral expressed surprise at the similarity of flavor possessed by all, or rather at the equal degree of merit in each, on tasting side by side. The Duchess ranked among the liest in quality, the Prentiss attracted much attention on account of its sweet and delicate flavor, and the Ni agara for a combination of desirable qualities, including its large bunch and showy appearance, ami its fine flavor, in which, however, it was hardly equal to some of the others. The Pocklington was very attrietive for its large, showy bunches, and it was of fair quality. None of these, however, arc quite equal to the Croton in quality, although all ex ceed it for strong growth and freedom from mildew. The Pear BliKlit. An orchard at Union Springs contained about 600 bearing trees, and a few hun dred smaller ones; it was from ten to fif teen years old and had borne some profit able crops, when three years ago it was visited with the blight, 'rhe dead limbs resulting from this disease were sawn off and drawn out. A two horse wagon with a common hay rack was used, and it. was well tilled ten times in drawing out the blighted branches. Some of the trees, probably a twelfth, perished entirely. A much larger number were more or less mutilated. About one-third of the en tire growth of branches was destroyed. Before this period, not a vestige of the blight had appeared, and some kind friends remarked,“your locality is certain ly proof against blight, and you need not fear it.” The uniform answer was, “It will be sure to come some time.” The year following its first deadly appearance, the disease had much diminished; lasi year but little appeared; this year none at all. The trees are rapidly recovering their lost branches, and this year they have been loaded with excellent fruit. It maybe many years before it makes another sweep through orchards. Many remedies have been tried, and with su perficial observers those which happened to beappled just before the disease passed off, have the credit of being a certain cure.

We have often urged the importance of allowing space for strong-growing native vines. We observe an additional proof of its advantage in an address of Presi dent Burnet of the < hitario Fruit-Grow ers’ Association, Canada. He states that W. Haskins, of Hamilton, attached a wire from the pole sustaining his vine to the chimney of his cottage, and trained Io the wire. Enormous crops of Rogers’ 15 were the consequence. The sparse bearer of the shortened method thus was made to yield most profusely when al lowed healthy development. “(hie thing I have found out. about peartrees,” said an eiillitisistic horticul turist to us recently, “is that they arc always thirsty. It would surprise you Io see how much watering a pear tree will stand.” Well, most trees, plants, and everything that grows in the soil, needs water. “Yes, but I know' that a pear tree when it is bearing fruit demands a great deal of w ater; I have grown pears for many years, but never became so fully satisfied of their actual need for water as this season. I have watered some of the trees in my garden with liquid manure, every day this summer and fall, and you ought to see how the fruit increased in size and quality. Oh, yes, that liquid manure” or water from the house sewer and the chamber slopes, tells the story! Pear trees will never get tired of this, we are sure. roii.riiv. To Keep Fowls Iji.viiih. lii order to keep your fowls laying in w inter it is necessary to give them plenty of food, fresh water ami good warm quar ters in which to roost, and they’ will pay' for this trouble. If not attended to right, you will get but few eggs in cold weather. t’leiiii Breeding*. Some years since during the extreme furore of poultry keeping a breeder was thought to be hardly' worth notice who kept but one breed. The prevailing sen timent among fanciers then was that each one must keep at least half a dozen breeds and the ability of standing as a breeder depended upon the number of varieties he kept and advertised. Be ginners were slow to appreciate the cau tions given by more experienced men, and would Jiot.be satisfied with less than three, five, eight or a dozen breeds. These ambitious fellows always came to grief; they undertook more than they could accomplish, but they would not learn the lesson in no other school but that of experience. For the beginner one breed is enough. Let him take the one he thinks will best suit his purpos», give it good treatment, and if he is dissatisfied with the results he can take another, but only' one breed at a time. This advice costs nothing and if heeded may save much heedless trouble and loss.—[Southern Poultry Journal. Raisin Making.

Pope’s ode, called “The Dying Chris tian to Hisßoul,”hasa history of its own which is curious and interesting. The Emperor Hadrian, whose reign ex tended into the second century after Christ, was a cultivator of literature in a desultory sort of away, and while upon his death-bed composed a little ad dress to his soul, half playful and half pathetic, containing no thought above the level of heathenism, and yet so grace ful in expression that it has survived pretty much all of the more ponderous works of his contemporaries. it ran thus: HADRIAN! MORIKNTIS AD ANIMAM. Animula Tagula, blandula, Ikwpefe conv corporis, Ouac mine übibiH in loca? J’allidula, rigida, nudula, Nee, ut soles, dabis joca. In the Spectator for November 10, 1712, is printed aprose translation which was contributed by Pope: “Alas, my soul! thou pleasing companion of this body, thou fleeting thing that art now deserting it, whither art thou flying? Towhat unknown region? Thou art all trembling, fearful, and pensive. Now what is to become of thy former wit and humor? Thou shalt jest and be gay no more.” The translation is still'enough, and it bears but little of the flavor of the original; but it marks one step in the mental process by which Pope at last arrived at a very beautiful result. In his letter accompanying this transla tion he says: “I was the other day in company with five or six men of some learning, when chancing to mention the famous verses which the Emperor Had rian spoke on his death-bed, they were all agreed that it was a piece of gayety unworthy that prince in those circum stances. I could not but differ from their opinion. Methinks it was by no means gay, but a very serious soloquy to his soul at the point of his departure in which sense I naturally took the verses at my first reading them, when I was very young, and before I knew what interpretation the world generally put upon them.” It was this serious aspect of Hadrian’s Animula— in which he spoke of his “ little soul” as one uses a pct name for dear Jfriends and children even under the most solemn circumstances—that took possession of Pope’s mind. Steele, in acknowledging the letter says: “The other (Popo) inclosed for my perusal an admirable poem, which I hope will shortly see the light.” This was the first draft of the ode commencing: “ Vital spark of heavenly llaine,” which was intended as a paraphrase on the Animula. Pope did not include it in the first correct edition ofhis works,pub lished in 1717, and Steele’s benevolent hope that it might “shortly sec the light” was not gratified for more than twenty years after it was first written. How many amendments and rewrittings it un derwent cannot now be told ; but that the Animula kept running in Pope’s head is shown by the fact that in 1735 he pub lished a metrical translation of it as fol lows: Ah, fleeting Rpirit! wandering fire, That long hast wnrined my tender breast, Must, thou no more this frame No more a pleasing, cheerful guest? Whither, all whither art thou Hying? To what dark, imdiseover'd shore ? Thou Keem’st all trembling,shivering, Hying Thy wit ami humor arc no more. The verses of the heathen emperoi were in the course of time by Pope bap tized into the sentiments of Chris tianity, and they have since become among the best known, mid probable the most highly esteemed, of all his writings. A Judge Learning His Trade. Justice Miller, in an address before the lowa Bar Association, made the follow ing statement: “You will, perhaps, be surprised when I tell you that the ablest lawyer of this or any other bar, when ho is for.the first time appointed a judge, has to learn his trade, as much as the mechanic’s apprentice. Os course, Ido not mean by this that he has to learn the law, for 1 am supposing him to bo learned in law. But what the appren ticed mechanic learns of his master is not. the science of mechanical forces— at least not mainly tliat. This is pre cisely what I am saying of a new judge. Let me illustrate this from my own ex perience, for it is closely related to train ing in a lawyer. It is, in fact, the same thing. lam very sure that it does not take inc half the time now that it did at first to* eliminate from a complex ease presented to me for decision what is ir relevant or immaterial and to ascertain the point of conflict necessary to be de cided. And this is equally true, whether the contest be one of law or fact, or both. By practice and attention 1 can listen to a lawyer, read a document oflered in evidence, pass with him lightly over the formal parts of the instrument and when he comes to the vital matter, the few words, perhaps, which alone touch the issue, I catch their precise meaning, and if I do not get that clearly I stop him there until I do. It is rare that 1 need go over that instrument again. So I have acquired, I hardly know how, ex cept by practice—by training—the fac ulty of • taking an immense record of five hundred or one thousand pages, and turning at once to the material parts, whether of pleading, of evidence, or ■whatever it may be, and in one-third the time it took me when I first went on the bench 1 gathered the materials for my judgment without digesting a mass of useless chad.” Cause and Cure for Snoring. A writer in the Scientific Monthly tells how the habit of snoring is ac juired, anil, better, how it may be cured. And first, the cause: The air reaches the lungs through two channels, the nose and mouth. The two currents meet in the throat just below the soft palate, the cud of which hangs loose and swings backward and forward, producing the snoring. If the air reaches the lungs, as it should, through the nose, no noise will bo made. If it reaches the same through the mouth the palate will make more noise, since it is not the natural channel, but when it rushes through both these channels, then it is that the sound sleeper banishes rest from the pil lows of his companions by his hideous noise. The remedy for snoring is to keep the mouth closed; and for this purpose Dr. Wyeth, the writer of the article referred to, has invented an article so cheap that any one can make it, and no snorer should be without it. It consists of a single cap, fitting the head snugly, and a piece of soft material fitting the chin. These are connected by elastic webbing, which is connected with a head cap near the ears. This con trivance prevents the jaws front drop ping down, and thereby renders snoring Muiossible. The great trouble will be to adopt this invention, since li"iii*-t **t i'i* **i<l Born so be GniHotincd. A case is shortly to come before the Paris Assizes which tends to prove that he who is born to be guillotined may ex pose his life with impunity on the most sanguinary battle-field. Sagnier en listed at the outbreak of the Franco- German war in the now famous Ninth Cuirassiers, quickly rose to be a corporal and took part in the heroic charge made by that regiment at Woertli. “I beard the bullets,” he said to the judge, “rattle like hail on my breast-plate.” He was unhorsed by a stab from a bayonet and finally picked up from among the dead. As soon as he recovered from his wounds he took service again, and was one of the defenders of Strasbourg. There he was wounded again by a shell splinter, and after the capitulation of the city he was sent a prisoner to Germany and confined in the citadel of Breslau. On returning to France he settled in Paris and be came a whitesmith. As he was a very in telligent and clever workman he might have lived happily and comfortable on his earnings, but he grew discontented, his temper soured, he imagined himself the victim of perpetual persecutions and could not resign himself to the mis fortune of not having received the Cross of the Legion of Honor for his bravery during the war. He took to drinking absinthe, and his brain thereby became so much affected that he had to be con fined in a lunatic asylum. He left it cured and the doctors who have exam ined him in connection with the horri ble crime to which he has confessed state that he is quite responsible for his acts. To come to that crime, here are the facts: On the 12tlj of /August, last year, about 9 o’clock ih the morning, a young wo man, Mme. Dolschaume, was had gone to the cemetery of St. Otten to pray at the tomb of her sister, who suddenly at tacked by a man armed with a hammer as she was kneeling on her sister’s grave. The brute, after knocking her down, trod her under foot, and finally, after batter ing her skull with his hammer, left her weltering in her blood, but not before having robbed her of a cross she wore, and also of her watch and chain. Two other ladies had been assaulted and rob bed in the same cemetery. The police at last succeeded in arresting Sagniet and charged him with all three crimes; for the two last mentioned he was sen tenced to three months’ imprisonment, As for the capital charge, Bagnier ex plains it by alleging a fit of madness Drought on by drink. He said: “ i went to the cemetery of St. Otten with my mechanic’s hammer to fasten the crosson the grave of my little daugh ter who died recently. I had prayed fervently for her. All at once I saw the cross and watch chain of the kneeling lady beside me glisten in the sunshine. A bad thought took possession of my brain, and I struck without knowing what I did.” Hamlin ami Lincoln. [Exchange.] Senator Hamlin says that while vice president his relations with Mr. Lincoln were always amicable; Mr. Lincoln often consulted him. “ 1 was always more radical than he was,” says Mr. Hamlin; “ I was urging him, he was holding back on his problems, and he was the wiser, probably, as events prove. I desired to arm the blacks and issue the proclama tion sooner than he did, and was always for urging. I was tiie first person he ever showed the proclamation to. I saw it before he submitted it to the cabinet. Ke met me one day and said, ‘ Where will you be this evening?’ ‘I am going out of town,’ I replied. ‘ No, you are not, sir.’ ‘ Indeed I am, sir, unless you command me? ‘ Well, Ido command you. 1 want you to spend the evening with me nt the Soldiers’ Home? I met him at the executive mansion, and we started to drive to the Home. As spun as we had started, he drew from his pocket the. rough draft of the proclama tion and read it over to me. Naturally I was delighted, and told him so. He was much moved at the step he was taking.” Prof. Swing On Good Times. Professor Swing remarks tint it will be a great mistake and a great misfortune if the return of good times shall bring back the old fervor for property and ad ventures which made mortgages among the most popular things of the day. “ Mortgages,” he adds, “arc a pestilence, and debts arc a regular cholera. Estates die under them. Churches sicken and have to be sat up with at night; individ uals pine away, wives and children be come disheartened in the mortage season, and the financial grave-digger is busy day and night. Swamps and dirty houses were the black death of Europe—debts arc the plague of America.” LATEST MARKET QUOTATIONS. Fl-OUIT. CtBAISt AMI» MKAI..
