After my ground is well prepared by
manuring, blowing and narrowing, drill
it one way with small pillow. Into this
drill put whether Of compost or ma
nure is intended for the bill, and mix it
thoroughly with the soil, with an instru
ment made by attaching two or three of
Shores harrow teeth to a joist four inches
square and four feet long, with handles
on one end and hitching place at the !
other. After this operation the corn is
strewn all along the drill, at the rate of
four to six kernels to the foot, A plow
s then used to cover the whole, in soil /

SOUTHERN ITEMs.-The funding of
The confederate debt goes on prosper
ously. Up to the 9th, over two hundred
millions had been funded. The process
is an exchange of confederate notes, now
nearly worthless, for bonds that will be
worth something at some future time if
the rebel experiment should succeed. 1t
is merely a choice of evils, and indicates
nothing as to popular confidence in the
of the confederacy. That no
real improvement is accomplished in the
rebel finances is proved by the fact that
prices for all sorts of merchandise still
remain at high figures and defy all at
tempts to bring them down.
The Richmond Wing represents that
society in that capital is going from bad
to worse. Garoting and assaults with
slung shots, for purposes of robbery, are
quite common in the streets at night. A
noted translator, named Mr. Albert Fs-
bre, has suddenly disappeared, and is
supposed to be murdered. Burglaries
are also common and in one issue of that
journal there are several cases reported
Of highway robbery, burglary and CARO-
ting. A white woman from Atlanta, GA,
dirty and ragged, was taken before the
mayor and said she had come to Rich
mond TO see If it was not warmer and il
there was not more to eat than ia Geor-
gia. She found it less comfortable.
The Georgia papers have accounts of
a brisk cavalry fight near Ringgold on
the 1st, in which the Yankees we're driv-
en- back. Our side has not reported it.
The rebels also report that federal
plundering expedition under Gen. Dodge
had returned to Decatur, Alabama.

CoUGHING HoRsEs-CAUsE AND
CURE.-It is we'll known that feeding
horses or clover hay makes them cough,
but the why and wherefore may not be
so generally known. From observation
] have become fully satisfied that the
manner Of feeding hay to horses is the
cause. The usual custom is TO let them
draw it through rack, thus stripping
off the fine dust which adheres to the
stalk, which being drawn into the lungs
in breathing produces the cough. The
cure consists 10 removing the cause
that is, the racks-and allowing the ami
mails 10 take their food in the natural
way. have removed all Of mine, and
now feed my horses on the barn floor,
having breastwork sufficiently high for
them 10 eat over, In this way they can
be fed hay without raising dust, they
get none under their feet and the labor
of cleaning out managers is saved. What
ever is lett is easily pushed out with a
rake into the yard for the cattle. The
dust ON the hay will do the horses nc
harm If taken into the stomach. Sine,
