AS am under obligation to my brethren of

culpable neglect of duty, if should not take
nm early opportunity to give my experience and
judgment on the subject, and so you have it for
what it is worth
Put so much muck in the barr. ward, hog pen
and other proper places as will absorb the iuic
es and then, instead of drawing so loads to a
compost heap and adding thereto lime, ashes,
or other materials, and expanding much hard
labor in mixing, reloading and spreading, draw
in the autumn or winter months, 100 or more
loads to the acre, spread it upon the land even
ly as you draw it, that it may have the action
of the frosts to pulverize it-then plow and
plant first 10 potatoes-use plenty Of ashes on
the potatoes to prevent the rot, handful on
each hill when they first come up and the same
again after hoeing. The land will thus receive
permanent benefit. The soil, if sandy and
loose, will better retain after applications from
the barn-yard, and viii produce wheat corn,
oats, or any srop suited to the climate. WM.

The California Snake Bird.

Alexander S. Taylor, of Monterey, in his
familiar Sketches of the Natural History of
California" says, that in the coast counties of
Southern California there exists "a singular spe-
cies of bird, generally called on account Of his
well known mortal aversion to all members of
the snake tribe, the SNAKE bird" It is not a
bird Of prey, but lives entirely on grain, like the
gallinacia When full grown, it measures two
feet from the end of its tail to the tip Of its bea
The tail has four or five long feathers tipped
with white. It's feet are furnished with four
toes, two in front and two behind, and all are
guarded with sharp, needle like claws. The
color of the bird is a mottled, yellowish gray,
and It rarely attains tie weight of pound. Its
beak is two and half inches long, and very
hard and sharp.
When this bird finds a rattlesnake-and RAJ
tiesnakes are to be found in great numbers in
Southern California, wherever the ground is
covered blythe cactus plant-it immediately pro
ceeds, with the greatest caution and despatch
to gather the fallen cactus fruit and dry lobes
and quietly enclose him in to the hight of a
foot or more-the spikes and spines of the plant
strong and sharpas needles, serving as an insnr
mountable barrier to the escape of :he snake.
This being accomplished, the bird gathers with
its feet and claws the young cones of the pine
which are as hard and heavy as stones, and
lowering over its enemy, lets them fall, one by
one, from hight of five or six feet, upon the
lnturlated viper, who, surrounded by prickles
and points wherever he turns, is soon fully a.
reused to the danger of his position. The bird.
with malicious screams, continues to drop cone
after cone, until his foe is exhausted, and then
picks the snake to death with its iron beak.

pany," dated at Chattanooga, Jan. 20th, has Just
been handed me, in which the price of freight over
the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad is contras
ted with the route via Chattanooga.
Competition is the life of trade and none have
right to take exceptions when fairly and honorably
entered into and conducted.
In answer to Capt. Williams card, have only to
say that goods and produce sent to the of the
East Tennessee Georgia Railroad, shall be carried
Just cheap, and perhaps little quicker than by
any other route.
The freight cards that may be issued from time
to time from Chattanooga. will govern the rates on
the East Tennessee & Georgia Railroad, and the

not expect patronage unless work cheap as
