Negr« Plot to Kill.
Tlie white people of Carroll county,
Miss., are terribly excited over the
discovery of u negro plot to inaugu¬
rate a war of extermination. Word
from Carroll county is that a letter
was found in the road addressed to a
negro, which exposed the diabolical
plot. A secret society of negroes had
negotiated with the Winchester Arms
Company for o large number of rifles,
aud with these they proposed to
slaughter white men, women and
children. Several leaders have been
arrested, and the excitement is very
intense. Further particulars are anx¬
iously awaited. Carrollton is the
home of Senator Money. A number
of negroes were killed in a riot there
a few years ago, and bad blood still
exists. There is no doubt that the
situation Vs now critical.

Mulching vs. Cultivation.
Mulching is one form of cultivation.
There are many who advise mulching
heavily as soon as the trees are plant¬
ed. This is far better than to allow
the weeds to grow and choke the
trees, but my experience has been
that thorough cultivation during the
growing season is as much better
than mulching as mulching is better
than no cultivation at all; and that
trees thoroughly cultivated will make
better growth and withstand drouth
better than those that are mulched.
It is a good plan, however, just be¬
fore the ground freezes, to mulch to
the depth of five or six inches for a
distance of three or four feet around
the tree. The object of this is to keep
the ground from chacking and drying
out the roots of the newly planted
tree. The same result is obtained by
stirring tlie surface of the ground to
the depth of two or three inches. If
mulching is used in the fall it should
lie spread over the ground and plow¬
ed under the following spring, and
the trees cultivated with plow and
hoe a« before, The preparation of
the soil may Ih* all that may I xt desir¬
ed, the very best trees properly plant

care after planting the result will not

(jj^g-uise, and the farmers of Florida
save shown that orange culture is
not tl)e chief pursuit of the peninsu
| ar> after all. There are so many ways
that a woman can economize, where
men simply would not. For instance,
making over and remodeling dresses
and jackets is “fussy” work; it takes
time and patience. Yet do we not all
feel justly proud when we get a new
garment from an old one?
Without doubt, many things are
made over that are uot worth the
trouble, so first, be sure your goods
will wear.
Careful ripping is very necessary,
as one tiny cut may spoil the whole
work.
Although naptha, gasoline aud
such preparations are unequaled for
removing spots, yet it is uot useful
for cleansing a whole garment; agaiu
it is expensive. It is far better to
wash it thoroughly in good soap aud
«Hter, iron it upon the wrong side,
and before cutting over, hold the por
lions up to the light to find the thin
spots; avoid these for they will soon
give way. Do not wring the cloth
but hang it up dripping and iron it
while slightly damp. Wringing is
apt to pull it out of shape.
If the goods is faded or treaked,
ilip it into Diamond Dyes, they cost
but a tritle and are very easy to use;
full directions eomes tqfbn each
age. Now that sleeves are slightly
modified it is somewhat easier to get
a new dress from an old one.
Wrinkled sleeves are pretty and al¬
so economical, for the latest ones
have separate puffs, short but rather
full.
The butterfly sleeve is also a favor¬
ite, the puff or drape being often of a
different fabric than the small, al¬
most close plain sleeve.
If the skirt has shrunken from
washing' and dying, it may be pieced
down at the bottom the, joining be¬
ing hidden by trimming of some sort,
for trimmed skirts are surely coming
into favor, however, we may feel
about it individually.
French rutiles are pretty, also
bauds of braid, ribbon, gimp, etc.,
and as loifg as Fashion does not in¬
dict upon us foot-plnitings and puff¬
ings we will not find any fault; but
we do not want these last named
dust-catchers any more than we want
the bustles and hoop-skirts that were
such a monstrosity.
Bound waists are in vogue this sen
son, another thing to he thankful for,
as the frayed edges of the bottom of
basques may be entirely removed and
replaced by a four-inch yoke (or
sham shirt) of selicla, which tvJehs
under the skirt, to hold the waist
down.
Sleeves are longer than ever, the
very fashionable ones coming down
well over the backs of the hand. But
as one will surely use new goods for
the short puffs, the old leg-o-inutton
or bishop sleeve will cut it alright.
Don’t forget that a pretty, wide,
fancy collar will cover a multitude of
defects; in fact a lady’s wardrobe is
not now complete without one or
more of these dainty accessories.
Those of white muslin, or lawn, trim¬
med with embroidery or German lace
are handsome, especially for young
women, and are very economical for
they launder so nicely.
Handsome yokes of Battenbnrg or
Point de Venise can now be had at
small cost.
These trimmed about the edges
with a ruffle of chiffon or fine lace,
and further ornamented with a bow
of satin ribbon at the left shoulder
or just over the bust are extremely
A very handsome collar Is one made
from white muslin (25 cents quality
will do); cut the yoke quite deep,
both in back and front, haste a nar¬
row hem all around, and trim with u
.314 inch ruffle (quite full) edged with
very narrow German lace, sew this on
by machine, making one stitching do
for hem also. Now upon the edge of
yoke, trace some pretty floral border
design; violets or wild roses are very
suitable, being small flowers.
Work it in solid stitch using Asiatic
fllo floss in natural colors, or if the
muslin is not very fine use Asiatic
Caspian floss.
Now finish the neck with a one
inch wide binding, embroidering an
abbreviated design upon that also,
and edging the top with a narrow ruf¬
fle of the muslin edged with lace, or
a ruffle of laee the same pattern as
used upon the bottom, but wider.
Use tiny pearl buttons to fasten it,
and plaee a handsome tow of wide
satin ribbon at back of neck.

these collars. Use white soap (Ivory

The idea is Probably a novelty
people, but it has beet, tned and
proved successful.
1 will try to describe the barrel
method in detail, so that an amateur
can do the work. Any strongly
bound hard-wood barrel will do, but
a linseed oil barrel is preferable. A
kerosene oil barrel is liable to impart
some of the kerosene taste to the
fruit, but perhaps this might be
avoided by burning out tlu^oarrel be¬
fore using it. Lay off the outside of
,,u ' barrel in four-inch squares, as

bore a row of inch holes in each
square horizontally around the bar¬
rel. In this way bore line rows of
holes around the barrel eight inches
apart, or in each alternate row of
squares, boring the second row of
holes from the bottom on.the perpen¬
dicular lines instead fi >f in the
squares, and so on alternatively to

bll , f or quality of fruit, 1 have found
none better than the Cumberland
Triumph and the old Charles Down¬
ing. The hitter two are bisexual, and
need no other varieties to fertilize
t hem. The plants arc inserted
through the holes, with the roots a
little than the stems, to allow
for settling. The roots are well
spread apart, and more soil is put in
and firmly packed over them. Then
they are sprinkled with water, and
the process continued until the barrel
is filled, when it is covered to prevent
escape of moisture.
in watering, care should be taken
not to keep the soil too wet, and the
better way is to make a few holes
down through the barrel with a stick,
ami pour in water or lioniil manure
according fo lhe needs of I lit 1 plants.
It is well to Hid the barrel on a box,
or something to elevate it from the
ground, to prevent Insects from gel¬
ling to the berries, and also occasion
ally to sprinkle the foliage on the out
side of the barrel.
The advantages of this method of
growing strawberries are that, no
runners grow,and the whole strength
of the plant is directed to growing
fruit. The berries are pi fleetly eleau,
and all eultiaatlon weeding uro
dispensed with, and econ -iuv of space
secured. If the same number of
plants were, spread out as in garden
culture, they would occupy nearly a
square rod of ground.
The plants may he put in either in
the spring or fail. If in August or
September, they will yield a fair erop
the next year, anti will eontinue in
bearing four or five years without re
ncwal. Five bushels is the maximum
crop, anti perhaps three or four tlie
average to a barrel, but “the yield wiH
depend on tlie variety and manage¬
ment.
The barrel should he placed with a
good exposure to the sun when con¬
venient, but the berries will do fairly
well in a partial shade. In the win¬
ter, in localities where there is very
low temperature, a light covering of
straw should lie thrown over the bur
1 el, I have recently met a gentleman
who, in connection wilh his nursery
business, Inis been selling barrels fur¬
nished with plants to people for eight
years, and has sold more than 1,000
in Ibis state, many of them in Brook¬
lyn, and he says there is no doubt
about the success of the plan.
Another feature of the barrel cul¬
ture of strawberries is tlie ornamen¬
tal. When the plants are in full
growth, the foliage completely covers
the barrel, and wbeu in blossom pre
sun Is the appearance of a huge bou¬
quet., and make a very pretty orna¬
ment for the lawn.
I'eople who have had experience In
growing house-plants know that a
large plant may be grown in a small
pot of soil, if the soil should Ih*
weighed or analyzed before and after
the plant is grown, it would l*e found
that only part, probably less than ten
j»er cent, has been absorbed l*y the
plant. From this it will be under
stood how a barrel 4 Ay ill hold MUf

for four or five yearn; for by far the

This plan, or some modification of it,
may be of use in forcing strawber
ries, in hot-house culture, or in plac¬
ing sash around the barrel, to for

Iu the preparation of a potato crop
it is better, if possible, to select a
piece of land on which cowpeas have
been grown the year before. It is by
no menus indispensable that it should
iu* so. I have grown good crops on
bare land. The ground should be bed
ed up well in rows, three feet apart.
I then open the beds with a shovel
plow. and apply at least 1,000 pounds
of fertilizer per acre, consisitng of
000 pounds of cotton seed meal, 200
pounds of acid phosphate and 200
pounds of kainit. The fertilizer is
scattered in the furrow and on the
sides of it.
I then take a one-horse harrow and
mix the fertilizer with the soil, then
drop the potatoes in the depression
and cover by running around them
with a pony plow. Aly seed is now at
least four inches above the bottom of
the water furrow and above any
standing water that may come from
heavy spring rains. This is important,
as half an hour with water over them
may cause the crop to rot.
Aow as the potatoes are all formed
