Keep Down the Weeds.

Every cultivated crop should be kept clear
from weeds. The injury which these do to
most crops is far greater than those who have
not examined the subject would suppose
A IL weeds are great rxhaustrrs. and extract
far more from the nutritive resources of the
soil than cultivated plants OF equal size and
weight Many of the native plants require
five times the aliment which is necessary to
support and mature an equal weight of the
most valuable grain plants A field, there
fore, which is infested by weeds has its pro-
ducing powers very essentially diminished by
them without any advantages resulting TO the
owner, as every particle of nourishment which
they assimiate is an actual and dead loss 1t
is said that Gland we'll plowed is half hoed."
and that ''a crop once well hOed is twice hoed,"
Thoroughness 10 the performance of these i'm
portant details will necessarily effect much in
cleansing the soil, and ia one Of the most prac-
Iical lessons one can learn in farming. There
are many kinds OF spurious vegetation which
can be subdued only by constant vigilance and
care. The extreme hardness OF their nature,
and their perfect accimation and wonderful
| powers of procreaton, render subiugation
task OF difficult accomplishment, especially,
where the soil is rich, as 10 the case OF old
fields which have been long titled, and heavily
mauured. In many cases excessive foulness is
perhaps most successfully remedied by sowing
the land in grass, and moving it fer a few
seasons. This will generally weaken the
worthless growth, and when the soil is again
broken, care in the management of cultivated
crops. for few years, will enable the operator
thoroughly to eradicate the plants, and Sc
cure clean aud healthy condition, even in
the worst cases. The grasses, from the pc
culisr structure of their roots, and physiolog-
ical habitudes, soon prove fatal to most Of the
annual and biennial weeds, as they do also to
most of the perenniaIs but care must be Ia
ken to stock the land down well so that all the
surface may be occupied and as little space
left as possible for the growth of proftlsss
plants. Clean seed, also, is an important de-
sidSratum. Grass seed as well as many of the
grains, are often foul, and great injury is done
by sowing it. Whenever weed makes it
appearance, no time or labor should be los
! in eradicating it., as its seed, ii permitted t.
mature, will produce progeny which may de
msnd great labor and expense to subdue.-
! zone years seeding makes seven years weed
ing" says the old adage, and most farmer
have found il u true one.

The city of Petersburg, Dinwiddie County
Virginia, is on the South Bank of the Appa-
mat tex river, twelve miles above its junction
with the james at City Point, and is twenty.
three miles by turnpike southeast of Rich
mond. Its population in 1854 was sixteen
thousand, and was growing rapidly. 1t was
one Of the greatest tobacco markets of Vir-
ginia, and contains many fine public aud pri-
vate buildings Several of its streets are
lined with three-story brick houses, giving
it a fine uniform appearance. 1t is at the
head of tide water on the Appnmattox ,
which is navigable to the town for vessels of
one thousand tuns. The fall in the river, i'm
mediately above town, furnishes splendid wa
ter-power, which is employed in several ex-
tensivs manufacturing establishments The
Great Southern Railway, from Richmond to
Charleston, passes directly through the city.
Until war commenced, however, there was a
break of about mile in the road, in the town
making necessary a transfer of freight and
passengers from depot to depot. military
necessity" however, caused the railroad cou
nection 10 be perfected and this road, tn,
great feeder of Lees army, and of Rich
mond, is the most important in the Southern
Confederacy.

The 9th Michigan Cavalry is in Custar's
brigade, and was with Sheridan on his recent
raid toward Richmond. A private named
Dunn, belonging to Company A, of the 5th
Michigan, shot Gen. j E. B. Stuart with a
Spencer long-range" rife. ~ hiie the 9TH
was under heavy fire the Colonel's attention
was called to the fact that rebel General,
with considerable number of staff officers,
suddenly appeard in sight, and within range
of the rife. The Generals name was not then
known. One of the 5th shot at him, but miss
ed. Dunn watched the shot, and instantly
exclaimed Too high, and too far to the left"
"Say, old Damn, what do you know about
shooting ?" inquired another member. Dunn
replied that he served two years in the "Ber-
dan Sharpshooters," before he joined the 5th,
and took prize in Washington for the best
shot.
This was good news to the Colonel and bis
men, and Dunn, supporting his words by ac-
tion, quickly stepped forward few feet, and
resting his long range rife upon fence, fired,
and the supposed rebel General threw up both
hands, stretching out his arms, and fell from
his horse. At the same moment Dump, turn
ing TO the Colonel, said Colonel there is a
spread-eagle for you" The men cheered

When to Cut Wheat.

The wheat harvest is at hand, and there
is a right way in which everything should be
done, and slight neglect may sometimes oc-
casiou great loss it is important that all
farmers communicate their experience for the
good of the Agricultural fraternity. 10 this
end correspondent of the Germantown (Pa.)
Telegraph, communicates the result of his ex-
pertinent last season in cutting wheat at dif-
ferent stages Of ripeness.
The experimental cutting was commenced
on the 27th of June, and from that to the lst
of July, two good sheaves were cut at or near
o'clock from the lst to the 10th Of July,
three sheaves were cut every morning.
These sheaves were cut with sickle, and
metal label containing the date, was tied to
the band of each sheaf; every morning they
were carried from the field to the barn, and
laid on q NOW over the barn floor. Each act
of sheaves remained in the field one day, and
we're then housed if wet, care was taken TO
dry them we'll.
On the lst Of August the sheaves were Ia
ken down and threshed, by striking the heads
over the edge of board laid on an open bar
rel, and each lot carefully by itself, with its
proper label. As soon IA all the lots were
threshed and arranged, the following was the
result: Equal measures Of each we're taken.

WHAT SORT or A MANlAEpY JOHNSON IS,

If any one has any doubt on this subject, in
view of the responsible position to which MIR.
j johnson is evidently destined, he has but to
turn to any part Of the noble Tennesseean's
record since the outbreak of The rebellion. In
his famous reply to Senator Lane, of Oregon,
in the first debates on the subject, when JEFF
Davis and Senator Mason we're sitting by his
side in the Senate, he was asked what he
would do were he the President of the United
States. He said:
The distinguished Senator from Oregon
asks me what would do with the Rebels were
| President of the United States? 1 would
have them arrested, would have them tried,
and if found guilty, by the Eternal God
would have them executed"
This was no hasty ebuition OF feeling, but
the language of elaboration, as is fully shown
by the unvarying course of Mr.. Johnson ever
since.

Fading Working Oxen and Hor,s.

1t is said that carbon is the base Of all ami
NAL oils, fat &c, while nitrogen forms the base
of the muscular part Of men and animals
The farmer may gather a useful hint fr ON this
chemical fact In feeding vegetable fibre, like
hay and grass, which yields largely Of carbon,
animals will readily take on fat, and increase
in bulk but in feeding grain, which contains
much larger proportion OF nitrogen, animals
will have more power aud endurance. The
farmer who expects his horses aud oxen
to work well, and to wear in work must there.

sEpARArlnN Or SUBMISSIVE.

Gen Slckles made lengthy ana able speech
at Chicago, while passing through that city,
few days since. from which we make the fol-
lowing eloquent and striking quotation
Separation! my countrymen, separation is
war-endless war, and the decline and fall Of
the republic. Peace union is peace; union
is the perpetuation ol our free institutions; un-
ion makes US one as a Republic, one as Amer
leans. This peace this union, we all hoped in
the earlier days Of The war would be possible
through the return of reason to the South,
through perception OF The impossibility aud
recklessness OF resisting the United States,
that would compel submission to the lawful
authority OF the United States Government.
These hopes, however, provided Elusive. This
peace What is it 1t Is said we are exactiag
submission. Submission TO what? To the
Constitution OF the United States-submiss-
ion to the constiIulioHally expressed will of
the people Of the United States-submissio
to the Government that up to the mOmeEt
when this Rebellion drew its sword and fred
its first gun had never inflicted a grievance
upon any man south of Mason and Dixon's
line. (Cbeering) Submission? Yea. To
what :? To Government that the statesmen
south of Mason and Dixon's line were con-
spicuous in influencing and ia forming, and
conducting, and ruling down to the hour of
the Rebellion,
When do we hear from the South word
about peace except it is accompanied by the
condition of separation To the honor of the
North be it said, that few, very few, are so
lost to what is due to their country as to toi-
crate the idea of separation and peace. (Ap-
plause.) The armies of the Union that are
in the frent to-day were not summoned to the
field for any such degradation as that. Loud
cheering.) l would not envy the fate of that
statesman, the leader OF that party, who would
if they had the power, make peace which
involved the separation of these United States,
when that gallant army came home TO COLI
front such traitors.
Now, and in the future, the only peace that
is possible is the peace that is to be conquer
ed. (Cheering) 1t is peace to be won and
preserved by battalions, by skillful Generals,
| by wise statesmen, by constant, steadfast, 10y
al people that peace will be honorable, it
will be permanent that peace will give to us
republic which our forefathers intended we
should have, republic altogether wholly and

The Art of Raising Turkeys.

AS the season of the year admits of some
suggestions with respect to raising turkeys for
the market. offer the following
First, place barrels horizontally, for the tur-
keys to lay in, and train them to their nests by
feeding them there. Take care of eggs until
setting time; then set each turkey on from Il
to 81 eggs. Second, keep them quiet, and as
gentle as possible. Never allow any one TO
frighteD-them, or other fowls about the prem
ises.
The turkeys will hatch every egg that they
are set on, if well managed and set in tight
barrels or nearly tight-sueh as lime casks,
-four barrels &c. The barrels serve as good
house and covering, not only 10 laying time,
but especially during the time of setting. AL
ways set the front or mouth Of the barrel to
the sun. This will make the turkeys and the
inside comparatively warm in the open yard or
garden. If the turkey leaves her nest before
the last chicks are out, place the unmatched
eggs Immediately in front of the house in the
sun, or il at an uniavorable time, enclose them
in flannel cloth and place them near the fire
or in a hot-house and thus finish the Matching,
and return the young to the mother. Twenty
nine days, IL hours, 43 minutes, and about So
seconds is the turkeys natural time to Set
When the Matching is over, the turkeys should
have daily attention, and be kept as dry as
possible until well grown.
In conclusion, every farmer can raise from
100 to 300 turkeys year without any detri-
ment to his crop, as they devour many insects
of various kinds, but especially grasshoppers,
