of the crop <-aunot be obtained. Many
still mow from two to four bushels of
corn seed to the acre to make it thin
line for fodder, but the beat results are
obtained when only eight or twelve
quarts are used to the acre. This should
be planted in drilla. and then the air and
sunshine have a chance to circulate
through the plants. Another practice
ih to sow tire corn thickly, and then thin
it oat for feeding purposes after it has
reached a fair height. The fault with
this method is that the stalks left re

needed One week of the first life of a
jorustalk is worth nearly three weeks at
the close of its life, and if it is crowded
when it is young its highest feeding
value will never be obtained by thinning

Last night about nine o’clock we
i reached the Eternal City.
It hardlv seems possible for us to
have seen u> ranch in two weeks, and
■otnetimes I feel like the little old wo
man, who said, “sorely this is none of

see if l am the same girl.
We have been traveling since Tues
day, but we stopped every night and
one day. so we were not at all tired.
The first night we apeut at the watering
place, Aix-Ia-Bains? The next night
in Genoa, we stayed at a lovely little
hotel, with a dower garden right out of
°ur window. We spent there part of
the next day riding all over the city
which is beantiful, and the treacherous
Meduerrauian looks as smooch as glass
and as blue as the sky. This is our first
glimpse of mo Italian city, and we were
horrified by the dirt and poverty of the
place- But Genoa is dean and rich
compared with Pisa, as we saw that af
ternoon. We took a walk about sunset
and I never saw such people. The
treets were lined with them,and I was
very glad when we got back to the ho
tel. The next morning we went to the
leaning tower about which yon know,
so I will not attempt to describe it. The
Cathedral is another place of interest;
the court is made of earth from Calva
ry. 1 pulled a flower here as growing
on Calvary, but 1 hardly believe that
it is true. In this Cathedral is the
chandelier, from which Galileo deduced
his laws of the pendulum. We saw also
the house in .wtieh he was born. It
isn’t much, but I notice that none of
the great men had great beginning.
On Wednesday v- passed through fif
ty-four tunnels, but in going from
Geuoa to Pisa, a ride of four and a
half hours, we passed through one bun.
dred and five. Mt. Cenis tunnel is
eight miles long and it .took thirty
minutes to come through, but when we
were through the scenery was grand.
Looking out one window we would
see little villages hundreds of feet be
low us, while on the other side would
be the snow-capped mountains reach
ing almost to the sky.
This morning we have been to the
different places, and this aiternoou we
go to St- Peter’s Cathedral, l am not
in tlic least disappointed in Home, in
fact, i am charmed with it. It is much
more modern than 1 exp'-cted to fiud

FLORIDA PHOSPHATES.

Boy—Everybody Knows Him Here.
Everybody in Athens knows Mr
Dunwoody Jones.
It is interesting to know that he was
first to discover the Florida phnspuate
beds.
Speaking in this connection a Thom
asvule man said yesterday:
“The full tale of the phespbato rock
has never been told, and new iLvclop-
lueota of the wealth and treasure that

Jones. Since its organization th corn
bands of the committee on temperance
with a favorable report, while the bill
to repeal the paving lawa of Athens is
given a black eye.
The temperance committee met at
three o’clock to discuss the dispensary
hill. Speeches in its fa
vor weie made by Messrs.
Andrew J. Cobb, E. R- Hodgson, T. S
M. II, W. A. Jester, T. L. Gantt and E.
T. Brown. The committee then re
turned a favorable report.
The other bill was introduced by re
quest of Col. Morton at the last session,
and provided for the abolishing of the
sidewalk paving laws of the city.
The committee on county affairs re
turned this,bill to the House with an
unfavorable report.
This committee’s action practically
ettles the matter. The dispensary bill
will be passed and the other bill is

Improving » Poor Salt
On this subject the New York World
has the following to say: Buckwheat
grows rapitlly. ami is sometimes nsed as
a soil improver by plowing it under in
the fall instead of harvesting it for the
grain. There is. however, quite a gen
eral reluctance to plow under a green
crop for its fertilising properties, when
l^* letting it stand a few days longer a
remunerative crop of grain might be re
alized from it Plowing under a green
crop of any description is one of the ways
for putting a soil into a good condition
for the best results from the use of com
mercial fertilizers, and in the case of a
poor field that is to be reclaimed the
farmer most determine for himself the
variety be can use most economically
Buckwheat plowed under in the foil, to
be succeeded by rye plowed under in the
spring, would furnish as much vegetable
matter for the purpose as can be made
available in the same length, of time, and
it simply becomes a question of sacrificing
two crops as fertilizers when both sze

line npon which the lottery Democrats
will make their campaign, and that they

cannot describe it, cannot begin to de
scribe it. It surpasses the wildest
dreams of imagination, and a person
who has not seen it, can hardly realize
what a temple made with hands may
be. Have your expectations raised to
the highest pitch, and you will not have
to lower them in the least. In size and
beauty it surpasses every chnreb in the
world. At first you cannot get any
idea of its size because such attention
was paid to having the parts in exact
proportions, that nothing stands oat to
advantage. But after a while yon will
begin to realize its Fastness. It was
built, you know, on the site of Nero’s
garden, here where he persecuted so
many Christians, and tradition says St
Peter was crucified there. On one aide
of the church is a statue of St. Peter
sitting in a chair with hia foot oat, and
his toes are almost worn off from being
kissed. The^ up in the end ia a
huge bronze, chair called St. Peter’s
