agbicultube. 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. Bead and Reflect* We find the following bit# of wisdom uncredited in an exchange/ We know not now, therefore, who first wrote them: Don’t buy patent rights to sell again. Buy a farm wagon before a fine carri age. - 9 ff Don’t become security for him who Waits for the sheriff. Don’t starve your land if you do you will grow lean. Don’t buy a piano for your daughters while your sons need a plow. Don’t leave to memory what should be written ; it makes lawsuits. Don’t let your horses be seen stand ing too much at the saloon; it don’t look right. Don’t give the merchant a chance to dun you. Prompt payments make inde pendent men. . | nr j Keep good fences especially the line fences; they promote good feelings be tween neighbors. \ Decent, substantial clothing makes them think better of themselves and keeps the doctor away. When the labors of the day are past let good books and newspaper* invite the youngstersto the sitting room. 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 is said that the Dlanters in South western Georgia will be able to lift at maturity every dollar of their paper Jin Macon, known as warehouse acceptan ces ; that they had the cotton in the fields and in their gin houses to do it, and that it would be forwarded as fast as possible. Jack Higgins. axt> irow m: camß to be *ad firm. 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. m —— 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 in Portland, Maine, and there are not now so many arrivals as twenty years ago. The salary of Gen. Robert E. Lee, as President of the Valley Railroad is fixed at $5,000 per annum. Arkansas has a total of 1.163,020 acres of swamp lands still unsold. kegal Advertisements.
