This is a great Sow them with a drill or jggt_say two bushels to the when the pods are nearly aud the pease are in the dough walk right into them with a scythe blade and cut an acre day—any good mower can do easily, for it is the sweetest ting in the world. Let them lie as they fall for twenty-four Take them into winnows, and them alone for two days more. If it rains on them, just let it rain; when the sun shines again toss them up and give them air and they will cure. I have had them to take several rains, and lie on the ground for a week, and cure all light; plenty of air is all they want. Put them in the barn and watch them for a day or so to see if they are moulding or getting hot; if they are then toss them to the other side of the barn, and the tossing and airing will bring them all right. I have never lost a pea-vine crop. But be sure and cut before the pods get ripe or you will lose the leaves. Cut green and not a leaf will drop, and the vines will cure so much easier. It is a happy experience for all of ns to discover that we do not want half the things we hanker after. Tv e are seldom quite con¬ tent—perhaps this is at once a curse and blessing. We all ex¬ pect to go somewhere before we (lie, and have a better time when we get there than we can have at koine. The bane of our life is discontent; we say we will work so long and then we will enjoy .ourselves; but we find it just as Tkackery has expressed it: “When I was a boy I wanted some taffy, it was a shilling; I hadn’t one; when I was a man I had a shilling but I didn't want any taffy.” A well-known farmer, k?bw Elberton, a few- weeks ago began the circulation of slanderously highly false* reports °f respectable them married and one living in that section.

The effort of the negroes of Fi¬ delity, O., to obtain their rights under the law in securing seats for their children in the white public schools, has failed. Two juries have refused to convict white persons indicted for ob¬ structing them when they tried to enter their children in the white schools, and the trial of all the other cases has been postponed. The negroes, if they are wise, will nov, r sen d their children to the ad mi ittedly excellent school provid¬ ed for them by the white taxpay¬ ers, and abandon their dream of social epuality.

The New York Tribune remarks that “by slow degrees the Ameri¬ can people are learning to distin¬ guish between a cyclone and a tornado; but the difference is still far from being generally observed even by those great popular edu¬ cators the newspapers.” Perhaps so, but when a ring tailed roarer comes swooping down on a city, chewing up buildings and killing a score or two of people, it doesn't make much difference to the vic¬ tims whether it is a cyclone or a tornado. The effect is pretty much the same. If you spit up phlegm, and are troubled with a hacking cough, use Dr. J. H. McLean’s Tar AVinc Lung Balm. Dr. A. G.
