This will in all cases prove good for it, and will do more good compared with the cost of applying to the whole crop than only re turning a part of it, and using that in a live and green state, is better than to have it dead and dry before using. For some very dry seasons, and for some crops, the turning under of a heavy growing crop in green manur ing a field, will help the soil to retain moisture enough to carry its crop through such a season better than with any other conditions of manur ing or tillage for such a year. Ashes not only give to the plant mineral food, but they change the physical condition of the soil. When an alkali is put into the soil it neutral izes any acids that are injurious to plants. Ashes have a special adaptation to light soils, as sand}' loams, making them heavier and retentive of moist ure. Where sod is plowed under upon sandy loam, the addition of ashes will hasten decomposition. Applied to cold, wet soils wood ashes will be use ful in absorbing moisture. Plants take minerals in certain proportions, and are called potash plants if they contain the greatest proportion of this element. Ashes are a special fer tilizer for supplying potash, though they are beneficial to other crops. On about every farm there is a large a- mount of rubbish which would make a good fertilizer if properly treated; mix it with ashes and it will be of some use. If ashes are mixed with peat, tlie result will be a fertilizer a|- most as good as barnyard manure, for ashes decompose the peat and ni-' trogen is formed. This is a cheap manure. But ashes should not be used in compost with animal excre ments, for the nitrogen will be lost during decomposition. In an emer gency. where you have a lot of green manure that is to be applied very soon, ashes may be used; but sul phate of lime, or some other good ab sorbent, must be used to hold the ni trogen. By the leaching of soft wood ashes a much greater per cent of the potash is taken out than is the case with hard-wood ashes. It is well to ascertain before buying leached ash es if lime lias been used in the process, for more of the potash is taken out by its use. Ashes lose little in leaching besides potash. It has been estima ted that when used for their potash, one bushel of unleached will be equiv alent to four bushels of leached ashes; but when us< d for the whole of the minerals they contain, as a rule, four bushels of unleaclied are equal to five bushels of learned. The comparative value of ashes depends to some ex tent upon their solubility. A much greater proportion of soft-wood ashes is really soluble in water than those of hard-wood. Hence, hard-wood ashes last the longest.—-American Cul tivator. Prof. G. H. Spooner on Hog Cholera. From the Sparta lshmaelite. Prof. Spooner of the Virginia Agri cultural and Mechanical College, writes, regarding hog cholera, that it is a rapidly fatal disease and attacks without regard to race or condition; that while fanners are losing hundreds of bogs it is due to their own negli gence. While the professor lays no claim to a universal specific, general panacea” or “unfailing remedy, he does claim that any intelligent farm er can apply the simple means of pre vention. It is now conceded that hog cholera is a bacteritic disease; that it is due to the presence of microbes. When once the bacteria get to de veloping in the articulating organs and reach the small capillaries, they form into masses and caues a clogging which produces stagnation and ulti mately death. Upon the point of the cause of the disease there is now no great difference of opinion, and it matters not by what name, whether bacteria or micrococci or microbe if its progress can be arrested. Investigation has proven that the bacteria do not thrive in an acid medi um and upon thisjpoint Prof. Spooner hangs his prevention. His remedy is to introduce into the system some acid that will not injure the animal, but which will‘prevent the propagation of the bacteritic germs. The best success attended his experiments by the use of carbolic acid, enough put into water to make it slightly acid; 8 to 10 drops to the hundred pounds. By this treatment not a single animal was lost. In another herd hyposul phite of soda was used with results equally as good. This being cheaper is recommended for use. Lime is a compound of oxygen with calcium, and exists in nature in many forms. When made from pure lime stone or from pure dolomite, it is call ed rich, and when it contains impuri ties so as to diminish its value as an ingredient of mortar it is called poor. Lime in agriculture is used in several forms, both separately and in combi nation with various other substances. Air-slacked lime is extensively applied to the land. It facilitates decomposi tion of vegetable matter and coarse manures, and by a chemical action up on insoluble minerals in the soil, ren ders them available as food for plants. It acts beneficially to stiff clay soils by rendering them open and there fore more readily penetrable by rain, air and the roots of plants. Soils rich in felspathic minerals, or those con taining silicates of potash and soda are benefited after they have become worn, by an application of caustic or quick lime. The character of the soil and its previous treatment should de cide the quantity to be applied and the frequency of its application. Larger applications are called for on stiff clays than on sandy soils, and in all cases the quantity is dependent somewhat upon the depth of the soil and the amount of vegetable matter it contains. Soils in cold climates gen erally call for larger applications than those in warm ones. Lime should not be applied to land destitute of vegeta ble matter. It should be sown broad cast and thoroughly incorporated with the soil if applied without pre viously composing with vegetable matter. Do not compose lime with animal manures, or loss of ammonia will be the result. The larger the ap plications the less frequent are they required. In England it is not an un usual thing to serve as much as from 200 to 300 bushels per acre and then apply no more for a term of years. The stronger the soil the more it will bear; indeed, it is only on soils rich in humus or clay soils that lime should be applied liberally. While an essen tial constituent of plants, without which, indeed, they could not grow, lime exists, except in rare cages, in suf ficient quantity in the soil to give the crop all that is needed, and when ap plied as a fertilizer produces astonish ing results, as has been already im plied, by its action on other constitu ents of plant food already in the ground. FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN MOON SHINERS AND REVENUE RAIDERS. Atlanta, June 28.—There was a desperate and fatal encounter last night near Ben Hill between two Ful ton county moonshiners and a party of revenue officers from this city. The distillery was located last Friday night by Revenue Agent Chapman, Deputy Collector Berry Chisolm and Deputy Marshal McDonald. About 6 o’clock yesterday evening the officers started on the raid. The party consisted of Special Agent W. W. Colquitt, Deputy Collector Perry Chisolm and Deputy United States Marshal W. N. McDonald. It was a dark night and everything was favor able to such an expedition. They ar rived in the neighborhood about 10 o’clock and began to make a careful and stealthy approach. The place to be reached w r as two miles from Ben Hill, and near the Campbell county line. When within a short distance of the still, lights were seen, as were also the forms of two men moving about at work. The three raiders came upon the still in as may different directions. Special Agent Colquitt got up a little in advance of the others, and when the moonshiners detected his presence they opened fire on him with rocks-- one striking him on the knee, knock ing him over. Chisolm and McDonald rushed for ward into the still and they were at tacked in the same way, McDonald was struck in the face by a rock. He cried to the men to stop, but they con tinued the attack, when he fired upon them. He made two shots with fatal effect. One of the men received the lead in tfie right side, and the other was shot through the foot. The one shot in the side made an effort to run, but was stopped by Chisolm, and fell to the ground. It was found upon examination that he was dangerously wounded. McDon ald was dispatched for a physician. He brought Dr. Suttle, whose residen ce was two miles away, but when he arrived the man was dead. The death occurred about 3 o'clock this morning. The dead man was John Brown, and his accomplice was Joe Overton, who was placed under ar rest. Brown was a notorious revenue of fender, and has given the- officers great trouble. In May, last year, he June 22, 1880. 50 cw ly. Lucn Hinton Tobacco FOR SALE BY L H* WOOD & C0.

A geod acre would make 100 bushels. This rice, when cleaned, would weigh 30 pounds to the bushel, which would be 3,000 pounds; and rice will bring anywhere 5c. per pound, which would be $150 on one acre.

But a farm should be well tilled whether it is small or large. The size should de pend upon the business undertaken. For example, stock farming will re quire sufficient land for pasturage and mowing, but for market gardening or raising small fruits extensive lands are not needed. In general farming there are advantages to be secured from possessing many acres. On the small farm there are some kinds of work that require more than one man, and it costs much more in proportion to hire help ‘off and on’ than by the month. There is a loss not to be over looked in the case of implements. The large farm will need only a few more, and some tools are used so little on the small farm that they will not give a corresponding return for their in vestment. In order to have good til lage on a small farm one must have a good team: generally one horse can do most of the work, and it will not pay to keep an extra horse for so lit tle"work. On a large farm the cost of marketing is less, and a large produ cer helps control the market. But much, after all, depends upon the man, and it may be said that up to the measure of capacity and capital of each individual person depends the size of the farm.” was arrested in a bell county by Deputy Collector Chisolm, Deputy Marshal McDonald (who was also on this raid) and Re venue Agent Morris. While the offi cers were breaking up the distillery they were fired on by other parties and Brown tried, ineffectually, to get away. In the following June, in the United StatesCourt, he pleaded guilty on information charging him with illicit distilling, and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary at Al bany, He was discharged a few months ago under the decision of the United States Court, which held that a conviction for an offense of this character could not be had except upon indictment by the grand jury. Brown was considered a desperate character, and was so looked upon by the neighborhood in which he lived. The people of that section were anx ious to get rid of him, as he was a bad citizen and by his business doing much to corrupt the young men of that portion of the country. Notice was also given the coroner of Fulton county, and at noon a consid- able party left the city for the scene of the difficulty, for the purpose of attending the inquest. Judge Man ning, who was to act as coroner, Dis trict Attorney Hill, Marshal Nelms, Revenue Agents Chapman and Col quitt, and Deputy Collector Haight, w r ere in the party. The party returned to the city to night. The inquest was held where the body lay, and all the neighbor hood were present. There was a half mile of buggies and wagons tied in the woods, and the deepest interest was manifested in the occasion. There seemed to be considerable feeling a- gainst the killing of Brown, although the evidence was substantially as above stated, Judge Manning acted as coroner, and the jury was taken j from the neighborhood, as designated by the local bailiff. The inquest lasted nearly two hours. At its conclusion, the jury, after being out but a few minutes, made a verdict that the deceased came to his death I from a pistol shot fired by W. N. Mc Donald, and that it was murder. McDonald surrendered to the bailiff, but he was turned over to Marshal Nelms, who brought him to the city to-night and has him now in charge, i In the clerk’s office of the United States Court, it was said this afternoon John Brown’s name figures on every I docket for the last ten years, and that distillery in Camp- of the year, we have determined to put prices low, in order to make j.| ie consumer’s interest to spend their cash with, us.
