The Farm and Garden, rA Caltnrc in the South. There are a good many different kinds —the speckled, or whippoor rfill, is the one most generally sown about hero, as it makes more peas than any other. Then, there r.re the clay pea, black p a, lady pea, and a good many others. Ihe last named is generally used for the ta ble ; it is nearly as good as the navy bean and more easily raisod here. We sow them here most always among the corn in the drills a Irill or two between two stalks of corn—at t>c first plowing, which covers them ; or between the drills at the last plowing. They may be sown at any time in Maj or June, but they will make good vines if sown in JuN, depending a good deal upon the season and.the .condition of the land. We step drop three or four peas in a hill ) rows any width apart you desire, from two to four feet and cover lightly. No after cultivation i9 needed,^although it helps them greatly, it plowed once or twico. Seed is pret ty scarce here this season. Some years it is very plentiful j the gathering o! the peas being the b:gg st part of the job They will grow in the poorest laud. I have been Bowing llitui for several years on poor spots, to bring the land up agam ; the pea vines being a great restorer of worn lands, as they draw most of their nourishment from the at* mosphero. They are a great and cheap fertilizi r to a wheat crop, it is said, a’tbough i have never tried it. I have failed, so far, in turning them under while green, the vines choking the plow up to such an extent as to make it a bad, income plete job. I always put my oat land in peas, after the oats are cff. They cover the ground before frost. —Hernando ( Miss.} Car. Rural World. Stilling Weeds*. So long as eight million tons of use less weeds are raised annually by (he farmers of the United States, we can, not urge too frequently the means for their destruction It is not merely be cause the same amount of vegetable growth in useful crops would amount to sixty million dollars, but for the con- Hlaut hindrances which they offer to neat husbandry, their injnry to young crops, and their seeds spoiling the sale of otherwise excellent market products, that they should not bo permitted to present such fornrdable drawbacks to good farming. It is now well understood that tire true way to clear out annual weeds from the soil, is by stirring it over and over through the summer, just ofteo enough to break the sprouts and kill the young plants as they are coming to the sur face j and that perennial weedq and more particularly those which spread by the roots, are most easily and effec tually destroyed by smothering and keeping them ploughed under ; with rare exceptions, as in the case of quack grass. A general truth, which will ap ply to all processes for killing weeds, is that they may be destroyed when just starting from the ground with one-tenth the labor required a week or two later, and one twentieth of the work when fully grown. The farmer must therea fore make provision to command ready labor at the critical time when it will accomplish the mest, and it would be better to pay two or three dollars a day to laborers at the most favorable mo ment, than only half a dollar after the weeds have grown. — Country Gentle man. Salting Hay. There is a great diversity of opinion with regard to salting hay. Some claim that it injures the hay by retaining the moisture in it, and that it turns it black ; others believe it will preserve frreen hay in better condition than it could be kept without it, I am not satisfied myself whether it helps to pre serve it or not, but I like to use a little on all my hay, because it keeps it from becoming os dry as it otherwise would Salted hay will spend better, stock will do better on it, and, if sold, it will not dry up so badly when moved as unsalt' ed, and, consequently will weigh better. With an experiment in view, made a year ago, I caonot believe it will turn hay black and musty if applied when green. I cut a little over a ton of hay, very early, and put it on a scaffold in an old unused barn, in a partially dried condition, and applied a peck o* salt to it, leaving the hay as light as possible, being careful not to tread it all. It was so very green I had icars it would be quite smoky, but it came out the brightest ton of hay I ever saw—all of it retaining its bright green eolor. This shows that salt will not injure the color of hay, but it does not prove but that the scaffold of hay would not have kept just as well without the salt. There was a good circulation of air through it, but it was salted pretty heavy, one peck to the (on. —•/. 11. /', Few England Farmer. The best vinegar in use fr pickling is that made from the Western high wines. In a vinegar made from wood the pickles soon become soft, and even eider viuegar though the best and most wholesome for table purposes, wiil not preserve pickles more than a month.— All the artificial viuegars made from acids fail in this respect. Cucumbers pickled in highwine vinegar will keep an almost indefinite time, and will come out as good as at first, after .an interval of several years. Wo cannot grow peaches with success except we'prune trees every year; leave but a single tree unpruned and its leaves are a light sickly green, it b°ars one or two peaches, and that is the last of the tree. Where trees are pruned every year, cutting back more than hal r the growth of tho season, peach trees hear from fifteen to twenty years, aud sume even more —Fruit Recorder.

Its en terprise, during the recent election excite ment, i.i sending correspondents to differ ent portions of the country, and its series of special telegrams from Washington while the electoral commission was engaged in consummating the fraud that placed Radi, c Jism once more in power in our national councils arc evidences conspicuous enough to prove that no expense will be spared to make the Constitution not only a leader in the discussion of matters of public concern, but a leuder in the dissemination of the la test and most reliable news. There is no better time than row to subscribe for A Fresh and Vigorous Newspaper, Albeit, there has been a quasi settlement of one of the most difficult and dangerous problems of modern federal politics, tho discussions springing therefrom and the re sults likely to ensue have lost nothing of their absorbing interest. In addition to this, the people of Georgia are now called upon to settle The Convention Question. and in the discussion of this important sub ject (in which the Constitution will take a leading part) every Georgian is interested. If a convention is called its proceedings will find their earliest and fullest embodi ment in the columns of the Constitution, and this fact alone will make the paper in dispensable to every citizen of the State.— To be brief, The Atlanta Daily Constitution. will eudeavor, by all the means thatthepro gress of modern journalism has made pos sible and necessary to hold its place as a leader of Southern opinion and as a purvey or of the latest news. Its editorials will be thoughtful, timely and vigorous—calm and argumentative in their methods and thor oughly Southern and Democratic in their sentiments. Its news will be fresh, reliable and carefully digested. It will be alert and enterprising, and no expense will be spared to make it the medium of the latest and most important intelligence.
