W»1k» ami Talk* in the Durden.
•‘Good morning, Mr. Peabody; just
oorue into my gurdou, and seo where 1
ivo planted my beets, and my cabbage.
'.|,o ground was rich ; I prepared it deop
,nd mellow, and could wait no longer, so
determined to plant if Jack Frost did
nake mo plant over again. But dear me,
jow few seeds thoro were in n paper,
,vbv it took four paporn of boots to plant
v,r my little family. ’ “I have noticed,
Madam, that thore aro few enongh seeds
i a papor, but as few ns thoro are, I will
ftger you have planted thorn too thick,
jeh beet cnpsulo contains from two to
five plants, aud the Hoed should bo put in
Ibe grouud at least ten iuches apart. The
cabbage may bo planted thick, as the best
como from transplanted stalks,
you over triod any of the now vari
eties of the beet ? The dark rod Egyp-
i early and superb. FerpoUnl
Bpanish beet is rt good substitute for
pinacli, and may bo usod all through the
urnrner. Thera are some very delioious
ello.v varieties.” “But whero can I find
hose rare and choico soods ?” “You can
,rder them by rnuil from any seedsman in
he United .States, and pay ouly
igbt cents per pouud postage. I ro-
eived yosterday, from B. II. Bliss A
Ions,Now' York, ten papers of now varieties
,f onion Beed, und the postngo oa tho
mukago was but two cents, aud tho seods-
uan paid that. It is timo now that all
,ho half-hardy vegotablos wero planted.
Spinach, lettuce, kale, and Brussels
ipronts should bo put in immediately. It
will be time enough (or Into oabbuge, cau-
itlower and brocoli, tho first of April,

aito ii i ch day until tho manure bo-
begius to boat, then plunt any of the
endor vegetables, such as tomatoes, egg
ilants, poppers, being careful not to keep
ho glass on in sunshine. I notice you
have tho copper wire around your fence.
;s it keep out tho chickens ?"
It does now, but when I first fixed it
he sp.iu from post to post was too great
distance to stretch the small wire. I
ut up supports in the middle, und now,

wards the corn. In all this there is deep
plowing, except the sorape or sweep; and
to make five bushels more per acre *uve,
put iu every said furrow another, with a
bull tongue ten or twelve iuches, or two
feet if you feel like it This requires an
ighty bushel corn fed mule, or equiva
lent for corn, aud no forty bushel legs
d ears. By Brother Kilpatrick’s plan,
i man, planting half cotton and the
other half corn, will ever buy corn or
t. By my plan ho will have both to
soil, if thieving in tho hog nnd whiskey
in tho corn aro stopped. Without corn
thoro must ho poor mules, poor horses,
poor hogs or none, poor cattle, and poor
people and poor liberty. It is emphati
cally “tho staff of life.”
Commitloo on cotton, Uro. Goodwin,
reported best method to mako most on
small acreage. Discussion by Dr. Stan
ford, Kilpatrick, Dozier, Owen. Aud off
on to fertilizers, their best use, deep,
moderate depth, or shallow; all or part
put iu before planting or wheu planting,
or part broadcast ahead of plows in culti
vating. The lattor, by Dr. Stanford,
proving highly bouoficial, aud further,
tho results of loug usage of guanos,
whether injurious to land without contin
uance. Observation seemed to justify
tho opinion that “it loft it as good as it
found it.”
Dozier reported on fruits. Small uiul
select orchards; but fow trees of any va
riety running through early summer till
winter; easier looked after and nursed,
nnd nonr around homestead agaiust
thieves, and many other things concern
ing fruit. Dozier also reported a written
essay ou gardening, which was unani
mously adopted, but too loug for synopsis
hero. My space is ended.

HOW’ TO HAKE COIIY.
Wavebly Hai.i., Fob. 20, 1874.
im. Editors:—On tho 21nt instant
[Waverly Grange mot. Report by G. L.
ilpatriok on coru and grain gonorally
made verbally. Wide rows of five feet
aud upward; in drill four feet and lean,
tor strength of laud, ailed
otherwise; result, no firing,
firing, huge ears, and good yield. Also
a plan to save half feed of corn through
ork season uftcr 1st of April, to*wit:
Pay lor two or three.mules, { acre barley;
ere wheat; one aero oats, to bo fed
in green and ripening stago—each follow
ing iu succossion aa abovo. G. A. 15.
Dozier announced his plan for rnising
verbally, but as follows : Two years
eiuoo, a writer for tho prize essay ou muk-
uorn, for tho Columbus Industrial
Association (forgottou his name),obtained
. As soon aB I saw it, I know his head
as level, for, a two yours trial had con
vinced mo, and if it had boon a patent ho
was seeking, I should have looked into
date of his discovery. Well, horo it
substantially with tho writer
aforesaid, if I remember correctly—
jimy way it is mine, triod and
roven, aud, ns I verily believe, if
strictly followed by every farmer in Hur-
tho county would yield 40,000 bushels
more than any year for eight past—not
lessoning the ncreugo. Have a common
diamond point rooter, long. A winged
looter, otherwise same. A six-inch turn
shovel, and an oighl-iuch turn shovel—all
long—with lir-it, run off rows five feet;
tuke either of tho turn shovels and bod on
to tho guide fu.row, high aud close, loav-
ing a space, say four to six inches in mid
dle ; take a common straight shovel, good
lougth, nnd open this middle space. If
stablo or any bulky manure be used, run
a second timo ; if guano, ouco only, un
less to subsoil. Drivo a bull-touguo in
tho bottom of shovel furrow; put in ma
nure, or guano ; cover with a furrow, on
each side, with six-inch turn plow, or if
time allow, would bo belter to cover with
two furrows on each side with wingless
rooter.
Now for planting. Open with small
plow ; drop, and cover with doublo coul
ter, or light double plow, or hoe. Now
for working. Take six-mob turn shovel,
run <>n right side, live or six inches, bar
ring oil. Work with li h*, putting back
only about the soil taken away iu cleaning I
off grass. Let this remain eight or ten ,
days. Now for socoud plowing. Take
tho wingless diamond-point rooter, nnd
run close in ou the bar furrow, filling it !
full up. Niw for I bo third plmrin;: T.,ko j
a wing rooter, in eight or ten day, and !
fill up or overlap tlm diamond wingless
rooter. Now for tho fourth plowing.
Take six-inch turn plow, in eight or ten
days, and fill full nnd overlap the wing
rooter furrow. Now for tho fifth plow- 1
ing. Take, in eight or ten days, tho
eight-inch turn plow and fill up aud over
lap the six-inch turn plow. Thu-, in forty
days or upward, tho corn is finished, and
only ono ont-and-out plowiug. You h..v •
broken no roots, cut oil i.o supplies, and
had, all this timo, fresh earth and loose,
for ©very successive furrow reached by
the corn roots. If grass has grown over,
take sweep, or heel-scrape, an 1 do tho
nicest work you evor saw ; the b- 1 loing
in tray shape, and tho scrape or sweep

hoe work, if you bo pushed, und leaving

Presbyterian brethren ol even States, ,
Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala- 1
batna, Texas Mississippi and Florida, and
possibly Louisiana, the establishment at :
some central aud acceptablo point in this
territory, a uuivoraity, richly endowed,
up in tho millions, nnd ofticerud by tho
best talent of a denomination socund to
nono, if indeed equalled, on tho oontinont
for intelligent citizens, character uud
learning. We aro authoritatively inform
ed that tho Synods of five States havo
agreed to tho proposod plan fur this cen
tral institution, aud it is confidently ex
pected that activo operations will bo
ordered at the next Guueral Assembly
in May, which moots At at which
time tho arrangements will bo so perfect
ed as to admit of the permanent location.
The citizens of Opelika, in view of the
admirable position of their mountain
town, its unusual hoalthfulness, uccopti-
bility, pure water gushing from primary
rock, entire freedom from pestilential
diseases, aud centrality to tho embraced
territory, should bo up and take measures
to-day to lay beforo tho gatherod wisdom
of tho Assembly, tho many advantages
which naturo hue so lavishly bestowed.
It is hardly necessary to enumerate the
good results which would follow the
founding of this magnificent interest
here. Suffice it to say that it would give
such uti impetus to trudu and to real «
tutu values as has not yet been vouchsafed
our pcoplo. Tho timo is short in which
to act, and wo look forward to active
steps being tukon by the iucoming couu-
oilmeu in this dircctiou. Not only should
our advantages be miulo manifest, but
every proper influence brought to hour
upon final success. Activity, energy aud
liberality will accomplish much, and when |
aided by natures gifts and manifold rail
road connections, we have good reason
to feel confidence iu the result if our
peoplo wake up to tho importance of tho
location of so good and great an enter
prise.
The Election.
Up to timo of thi* writing the polls
havo been crowded with votois, blacks
largely predominating, aud unusually ac
tive measures aro being used to win by 1
either party. No disturbance tins murrod
tho hour, aud we hope for tho good name
ir people nono will occur. Sheriff
Hubbard, with tho city officials, having ,
taken every necessary precaution to pre
vent any violation of law.
The closing of saloons for sale of liquor
hns stopped any noisy demonstration on
streots, and business well nigh sus
pended.
We havo always doubted the policy aud
good to result from tho voting franchise
in the hands of ignorance, whether white
or black, aud the observations of to day
strengthen thut belief. Wo feel sad wheu
contemplating tho yoars of struggles
which must occur oro tho people of Ala
bama uud tho South aro freed forever
from tho rule of corruption, by whatever
name called.
