Best Depth to Sow Wheat.
In the Annual Register of Rural Af
fairs for 18G9, by Luther Tucker & Son,
Albany, New York, and edited by that
well-known agriculturist, J. J. Thomas,
we find a record of an interesting series
of experiments in wheat sowing, of which
the following are the results: Planted
half an inch deep, the plants came up in
five days; planted one inch deep, the
plants came in six; planted two inches
deep, the plants came up in seven days;
planted three inches deep, the plants
came up in eight days; planted four
inches deep, the plants came up in ten
days; planted six inches deep, the plants
eame up in twelve days.
Five weeks aftewards, there was no
perceptible difference in that planted
half an inch deep; that planted two
inches deep was not quite so good, so on
decreasing in quality as the depth of
planting increased. As the crop ap
proaches maturity, the difference be
tween the shallow and deep one inch
and three inch planting are not greatly
different in their results, although the
deeper planting is a little later in ripen
ing, and is hardly so productive. For
this reason, wheat planted with a good
drill on well prepared and rolled ground,
where it may be put in with great even
ness, ripens more uniformly, and brings
a rather better return than wheat sown
broadcast and covered harrow at
all different depths. For the same rea
son twehly-fivc per cent, in seed by using
a drill. That is a bushei and a half per
acre will answer the same purpose, if
properly drilled in, as two bushels sown
broadcast and harrowed. In a light,
loose soil, the depth maybe greater than
in one more heavy and compact. A
greater depth is required during a time
of severe drouth than when the soil has
a goodly supply of moisture. Asa gen
eral average, a depth of two inches is
enough. One inch would be better if
the soil were sufficiently moist; but it is
difficult to get a drill so as to deposit and
seed uniformly so shallow.
The Color of Mules.
In a long exhaustive article on the
“ mule," which it puts in the form of a
review of a book on that animal, pub
lished by a Philadelphia house, the
writer says:
“ Color has much to do with the value
of a mule. The deepest colored of any
particular color are generally the best.
The white mule is the least hardy,
though an iron-gray is almost invariably
a serviceable animal. Cream mules with
hair of the same color, are frail; but
those with black mane and tail, striped
legs, and a black stripe across the shoul
ders and the back, are more apt to re
semble the jack than mare. Pintos, or
spotted mules, are the least valuable of
their race."
With regard to the practice of using
almost anything, whether it is easy for
the animal or otherwise, to attach it to
the load, the same writer gives these
sensible directions:
“ Work animals should have every
portion of the harness fitting comfort
ably. The bridle and throat-latch should
neither be too short nor too tight, for'
one will ruin the mouth, and head, and
the other the mind. The collar should
be long enough to enable the driver to
pass his open hand easily through be
tween it and the wind-pipe; and if it
pinches at all, should be put in water
over night, and a few moments’ wearing
the next morning will give it the exact
shape of the neck. Dry-hard leather
collars should never be scraped, but
washed thoroughly in warm soap-suds,
and then oiled."
Protection to Fruit Trees. —This
question was discussed at the recent
meeting of the Fruit Growers’ Society
of Western New York. The President
said : “It is demonstrated that protec
tion is needed. We need it in spring,
when vegetation is just starting. The
shelter a town affords insures crops of
fruit in our town yards when the farm
er’s crop fails utterly. Evergreens are
a better protection than decidious trees."
Jas. V ick remarked that on the prairies
the outside rows of orchards exposed to
the winds were of little value except as
affording protection to the balance of
the orchard—especially those on the side
exposed to the prevailing winds. Mr.
Moody said the south and east sides of
his orchard bore the most fruit. John
J. Thomas, of the Country Gentleman,
said: “In New Jersey recently, I saw
belts of evergreens twenty feet high, and
within a certain distance of these belts
—the distance being the range of their
protection—the crop of grain, grass and
fruits was fifty per cent, greater than be.
yond that range. I think the Norway
spruce is the best tree, perhaps for pro
tection. I believe that twenty years
hence it will be wondered that fruit
growers of the present day did not know
more about protection."
Short Rule to Measure Grain.—
An exchange says: It is convenient to
farmers and purchasers to have an easy
and correct rule by which to measure
corn in the crib, measure the length,
breadth and depth, and multiply them
together, and deduct from the product
one-fifth, and you have the number of
bushels in the ear; for shelled corn
take one-half. To be strictly correct,
add half bushel for every one hundred.
Persons who arc fond of cyphering,
can test the correctness of this rule, by
taking 1728 solid inches for a foot,
and 2150 inches for a bushel, and see
that the latter is nearly one-fifth lar
ger than the former.

Colic in Horses and Mi les. — Ed
itors Southern Cult)tutor —A cure for
colic in horses and mules, which has
never been known to fail—simple but
sure. Take a piece of raw cotton—say
an ordinary handfull—and saturate it
with lard; set the cotton on fire and
smoke the animal's nostrils. In a few
moments he will be relieved. Horses
have been known to follow a person
holding the cotton until the pain would
cease.—ll. L. Watson.
The State Geologist of Ohio declares
that there are ten thousand square miles
of coal deposit in that State.

Calomel for Chicken Cholera.—
We have frequently met with this rec
ommendation of calomel for chicken
cholera, in our exchanges, and while we
know it to be an efficacious medicine in
the hands of skilful physician’s, for
many of the diseases to which the hu
man family is subject, we cannot give an
opinion as to its value for the (lure of
chicken cholera.
There has been quite a flux of chick
en cholera going the rounds among the
chickens of this section. Nothing has
ever been tried yet that will in the least
check this fatal and destructive disease.
Squire Nelson P. Hall, of this county,
told us last Saturday that this disease
was near depopulating his hennery, and
that the other day his wife asked him
how it would do to give a fine rooster
that was nearly dead with the disease, a
dose of calomel. He told her to go
ahead, that it would but kill if it did
not cure. So she poured out a common
dose for a man, and mixing it up in some
alum water she had been giving chick
ens, she poured it down the roosters
throat. It did him good, and the next
day the rooster was pecking and eating
in the clover patch for the first time in
many days. This is a point. Our far
mers can stick a pin by it. —Hillsboro
Recorder.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tlemen says:—“lf any of your readers
are troubled with lice on cattle, tell them
to try brine. It is the easiest and surest
remedy that I ever used. My hogs I
found covered with ticks this summer,
something I never heard of before.—
Salt water twice applied cleared them."
When a horse refuses to eat, he should
not be made to do any more service that
day, for it may be known that he is tired
out or sick. It is barbarous to compel
a horse to perform labor when in such a
condition that he refuses grain ; yet it is
often done, and by men, too, who think
they are merciful.
Luther Kendall, of Felchville, Vt.,
has sold during the past year, one hun
dred dollars’ worth of butter and cheese,
made from one cow of the native breed,
besides supplying himself and wife, and
occasional visitors, with milk and butter,
and raising a calf for which he was of
fered twenty-five dollars.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Scientific
American writing from Columbia, S. C.,
propounds the following: “My laundress
boils a bunch of peach leaves with her
clothes to whiten them. Is it an idea,
or is there any chemical action produc
ed? The clothes are certainly very
white when they come from her liands."
The bark of hickory placed wherever
red ants abound, will soon cause them to
disappear. We know that common lard
on a plate, set Avhere the places are in
fested, as soon as they come in contact
with the lard, they stick and die.
Small bars of carbolic soap are better
to keep away moths than camphor, at
one-third the cost. It is much strong
er in the exhalation thrown off', and re
tains its status longer. Try it.
Oil your door locks and latches once
in two or three months. It will add to
your comfort, and will make these neces
sary things last longer.
Your cellar should be whitewashed
once a year, and have a thorough cleans
ing two or three times a year. Let it
be ventilated daily, unless there are open
windows, and even then it will add to
its purity.
ftaT* Commissioner Fisher, says the
Cincinnati Chronicle , has exposed, with
severe comments, the false allegation of
a solicitor of patents, who wrote to a cor
respondent : “I have a way now of ob
taining a patent in six hours after it
reaches the Patent Office, by the pay
ment of $75, and I intend to have large
fees paid me in excess of this for accom
plishing this sort of a thing.'’ Mr.
Fisher pronounces this a libel on the
Patent Office, and says that a case “can
not be reached, under the best circum
stances, in less than a week or two.”—
He cautions the public against the pre
tensions of solicitors to peculiar facili
ties for getting claims promptly disposed
of, as those making such a representa
tion “only do it to rob their clients.”
The elephant “Empress,” which
traveled with a circus through Vermont
about a year, ago, in crossing a bridge
in Salisbury, fell through and was con
siderably injured. On coming to the
place last week, although anew bridge
has since been built, the elephant refus
ed to proceed, and all attempts to com
pel her to cross were unavailing, so that
it became necessary to take her around
some five miles to another bridge over
the stream.

It may be funny, but I’ve done it.—
I’ve got a rib and baby. Shadows de
parted—oyster stews, brandy cocktails,
cigar boxes, boot jacks, absconding
shirt-buttons, whist and demijohn.—
Shadows present—hoopskirts. band-box
es, ribbons, garters, long stockings, ju
yepile dresses, tin trumpet*, little willow
chain?, cradles, bibs, sugar-tefta, pare
goric, hive-syrup, rhubarb, senna! salts,
squills, and doctor’s bills. I’ll tell you
how I got caught. I was always the
darndest, most tea-custard bashful fel
lows you ever did see; it was kinder in
my line to be taken with the shakes ev
ery time I saw a pretty gal approaching
me, and I’d cross the street any time
raiher than face one; ’twasn’t because
I didn’t like the critters, for if I was be
hip<|.the fence looking through a knot
hoie f could not look long enough.—
Well, my sister Lib gave a party one
night, and I started away from home be
cause I was too bashful to face the mu
sic, I hpng whistling ‘‘Qld Dan
Tuckers dancing to keep my fbet warm,
watching the heads bobbing up and
down behind the window curtains, and
wishing the thundering party would
break up so I could get to my room. I
smoked up a bunch of cigars, and it was
getting late and mighty uncomfortable,
so I concluded to shin up the door post.
No nwutr said than done, and 1 soon
found myself snug in bed.
“Now." says I, “let um rip ! Dance
till your wind gives out." And cuddling
down under the quilts, Morpheus grab
bed me.
I was dreaming of soft-shell crabs
and stewed tripe, and having a good
time, when somebody knocked at my
door and woke me up.
“Rap again." I laid low. “Rap, rap,
rap !’’ Then I heard whispering, and I
knew there was a raft of gals outside. —
Then Lib sings ont:
“Jack, are you there V*
“Yes," said I.
Then came a roar of laughter.
“Let us in," said she.
“I won’t," said I. “Can’t you let a fel
low alone ?"
“Are you a bed ?" said she.
“I am," says I.
Then come another laugh.
By thunder ! I began to get riled.
“Get out, youpetticoated scarecrows,"
cried I. “Can’t you get a beau with
out hauling a fellow out ofbed ? I won’t,
so you may all clear out!"
And throwing a boot at the door, I
felt better. But presently I heard a
still small voice, very much like sister
Lib’s and it said :
“Jack, you’ll have to get up, for all
the girl’s things are there.”
“Oh, mercy ! what a pickle ! Think
of me, in bed, all covered with muffs,
shawls, bonnets and cloaks, and twenty
girls outside the door waiting to get in !
If I had stopped to think, I should have
fainted on the spot. As it was, I roll
ed out among the bonnet-ware and rib
bons in a hurry. I had to dress in the
dark—for there was a crack in the door,
and girls will peep —and the way I fum
bled about was death on straw hats. I
opened the door and found myself right
among the women.
“Oh, my leghorn !" cried one. “My
dear, darling winter velvet!’’ cried an
other, and they pitched in—they pulled
me this way and that, boxed my ears,
and one bright eyed little peace—Sal
was her name—put her arms around my
neck and kissed me right on the lips.—
Human nature could not stand that,
and I gave her as good as she sent. It
was the first time I ever got the taste,
and it Mas powerful good. I believe I
could have kissed that gal from Julius
Caesar to the Fourth of July.
“Jack," said she, “we are sorry to
disturb you, but won’t you see me
home ?"
“Yes I will." said I.
I did do it and had another smack at
the gate
After that, we took a kinder turtle
dove “hankering" after each other, both
of us singing like a barrel of new cider
when wc were away from each other.
’Twas at the close of a glorious sum
mer day, the sun was setting behind a
distant hen roost, bull-frogs were com
mencing: their evening songs, and pol
lywogs in their native mud puddle were
preparing themselves for the shades of
night, and Sal and myself sat upon an
atiquated back-log listening to the mu
sic qf nature, such as treetoads, roosters
and grunting pigs; and now and then
the music of a donkey was wafted to our
ears by the gentle zephyrs that sighed
among the mullen stalks; and heavily
laden with the delicious odors of hen
roosts and pig styes. The last linger
ing rays of the setting sun, glancing
from the buttons of a solitary horseman
shone through a knothole in a hog-pen,
full in Sal’s face, dying her hair an or
ange peel hue, and showing off my
threadbare coat to a bad advantage.—
One of my arms was arouod Sal’s waist,
she was toying with my auburn locks of
jet black hue ; she was almost gone and
I was almost ditto. She looked like a
grasshopper dying with the hiccups, and
I felt like a mud turtle ohoked with a
codfish ball.
“Sal,” says I, in a voice as musical as
the notes of a dying swan, - will you
have me ?”
She raised her eyes heavenward, and
clasped me by the hand, had an attack of
the heaves and blind staggers, and with
a sigh that drew her shoe-strings to her
palate, said, “Yes.”
She gave clean up then. I hugged
her till I broke my suspenders.
Well, to make a long story short, she
set the day. and we practiced for four
weeks, every night, how we would enter
the room to be marriad. till we got so we
could walk as gracefully as a pair of
Muscovy ducks. The night, the com
pany and the minister came, the signal
was given, and arm in arm we went
through the hall. We were just enter
ing the parlor door, when down I went
kerslap on the oilcloth, pulling Spl after
me. Some base fellow had dropped a
banana skin on the floor and it floored
me- It split an awful hole in my
casimers. It was too late to back
out, so clapping my hand over it, we
marched in. were spliced and took a seat.
1 watched the kissing-the-bride opera
tinn. My groomsman was tight, and he
kissed her tiff I jumped up to take a
slice, when, oh horrors ! a little six year
old imp had crawled behind me and pul
led my shirt through the hole in my
pants, and pinned it to the chair, so
that when I jumped up I displayed to
the astonished multitude a trifle more
muslin than was pleasant. The women
giggle, the men roared, and I got mad,
but was finally put to bed and there my
troubles ended. Good night.

Barnum on Advertising.
Barnum is a practical man as well as
a practical joker. He recently gave a
lecture at Manchester, and the Mirror
thus notices him:
Mr. Barnum occupied the last half
bour in advocating the policy of liberal
and judicious advertising. No matter
how much you advertise if you do it
right—the more the better. A single
notice in a paper don’t amount to much.
People see advertisements more than
once before they read, and read once be
fore they buy.
Some novel style should be selected.
The advertisements should be made at
tractive by some catchword for reading.
The excitement of the day in a place
may be made a ; fly’ to catch the eye.
This he illustrated by the success of
Pease, who became rich by selling hoar
horflßcl candy, and by Warren, who man
aged to have his blacking, hia namo urwl
business place, noticed free in every pa
per in England.
He gave his own experience in adver
tising after he purchased the Museum.
He began by a few-line notices, in New
York papers, and resolved to spend in
advertising all he could make in oue
year, but the more he advertised, the
more money he made, and he was per
plexed to find the means of expending
his money in the way he designed. He
published whole columns, sent out mil
lions of bills, hired hands to play exe
crable music, ornamented the Museum
Building with flags, and thus in the
most novel and grotesque ways carried
on his advertising, and the result was
that the museum was crowded day by
day, and money flowed into his pockets
without stint.
Barnum is right. It is very easy to
fool away money in advei rising, and
many men go into it spasmodically,
spending what they consider a large sum
of money in trying the experiment for
a few weeks, and then giving it up We
can refer to a dozen instances in this city
where men have thrown away money in
what they thought to be advertising,
and can also point to others who have
made a SIOOO by spending SSO in ad
vertising in this paper.
Puffing. —The Columbia Spectator
don’t “puff" now like it did. Listen:
“A big hearted farmer sends us about
three thimbles full of rancid cider, with
the request that we should notice it as a
first class article of cider vinegar. We
want to be excused. To notice it at all
would require a space of not less than
ten lines, the price of which would be
$1 00. This thing of telling a one
dollar lie for less than three cents, pay
able in r&Jiisid eider, is altogether played
out."
The Princess Salm-Salm, who was
made a widow by the death of the Prince
at the battle of Resonville, was, in 1858,
a tight rope dancer, and accompanied a
circus as such through the Western
States, under the name of Agnes Le
clercq.
The Thomasville Enterprise says a
very large proportion of the colored vo
ters of that county are desirous of co-op
erating with the whites in the selection
of competent county officess.
The principle merit found, so far, in
the New York Republican candidate for
Governor, consists in the fact that when a
very little boy he had the prettiest blonde
curls, the sweetest blue eyes and the ro
siest cheeks of any other little boy in the
neighborhood,"
The New York Times says that “ in
the Port of New York, to-day, not a
single vessel of any magnitude is in
course of construction. A steam barge,
to carry market produce on the. North
River, is the only craft in the hands of
builders." Under Democratic rule it
was different.. Ship-building was an
important feature in the industrial in
terests of that city.
Tiilre is not one sailing ship owned
