Wicked Spite.

The Richmond Examiner, in discuss
ing the points of the Civil Rights bill,
asks the Southern people to pray that
the cholera may decide the question be-
tween our adversaries and ourselves -
The meaning involved in this declaration
seems that war having been unsuccessful
ly invoked to sustain the rebellion
that attempts of hired incendiaries to
burn down our cities and to decimate
their population by the introduction of
yellow fever and the arm of the assassin
having all failed, no resource remains but
TO ask just God to totally overwhelm
US by disease which the whole civilized
world, without reference to political dis
tinctions, unites in combating. The i'm
piety of this prayer is only equalled by
It's cruel import. Emanatlng, as 1t does,
from the organ of the elite of the South.
it discloses the feelings entertained to-
ward us by men who are clamcring loud
ly for the privilege of representation and
control in the Government, which was
rescued from their assaults by the COM
bined energies of the loyal States. The
enemy who asks you for a dagger, is not
always candid enough to announce his
intention to plunge it into your heart =
But when such declarations are confirmed
by his antecedents you would be guilty
of criminal folly YOU gave him power
to execute his murderous purposes while
his thirst for blood remains unslacked.

To WOOL GfOwars.

As the season for strengthening is
drawing nigh, it is not amiss to call the
attention of wool growers to the imPor-
tance Of putting their clips IN proper
condition for thesmarket.a In the Pur:
chase of last years crop, buyers were
more disposed 10 make discrimination on
account of quality and condition than
they had been for some years previous,
and it is said to be their determination to
follow up the practice during the coming
season. In view of this. our farmers 10
preparing this springs clip, would do
well to keep in mind the following points:
l. That in order to insure q quick
sale at the very highest market rates,
wool should be well washed and clipped
in from seven to eight days after wash
ing.
2. That al Buck Aeeces unwashed, all
half washed. and all that remain two or
three weeks after washing befOIe it is
clipped, manufacturers will not purchase
except at one-third discount of.
3. That lot of wool. well washed and
in good order, always attracts the atten-
ton of buyers, and is pretty sure to COM
mand a price more than sufficient to pay
for the extra care and labor bestowed up
on it, asIingtOn Rsprtsr.

How TO Make Both Ends Meet.

John johnson says that he has noticed
that those farmers who have the most
difficulty to make both ends meet, always
plow the most. and keep the most stock.
Now these men take the true plan to
keep themselve always Door, and bring
in little. Iii is good profit to raise three
hundred bushels ofwheat from ten acres;
but when it takes thirty acres to raise
that amount, it is raised at loss. SO 1t
is with cattle and sheep. You will see
the thinking farmer making four-year-old
steers worth from $50 to $50 each, and
his neighbors, at the same age, not worth
over S24 to $40. If his land is ex-
bausted-and great many farms are
then he should plow no more than he
can thoroughly manure. Seed with clo-
yer and grass, and let it rest for even two
years, and that field will not only pay
we'll for tillage, but will furnish manure
(if rightly managed. to make another
field of the same richness also. 1t IS bad
policy, when a field Is once highly ma
nured, to continue cropping it with grain
until the manure is used up. Thelatterend
of that land will be worse than the first.
But let the land lay in clover, even one
year, but two are better, after it Is ma
nured, then it will stand perhaps six
good crops before it requires msnuring
If clay subsoil it certainly will.-CoEntry

AgrlculruraI Improvement.

The use of all improved tools and i'm
plements, horse hoes, carrot-weedsrs, sui
ky plows, and cultiyators, moving ma
chimes, horse hay-forks, tedders and load
ers, is of the first importance; as they
save the employ ment OF additional hands,
perform the work in the best and speed
lest manner, and enable everything to
be done in its proper season. Yet where
more labor IS necessary 10 order to give
every crop full attention, no sensible far
mer will hesitate to engage it immedi--
ately. although he may deem wages ex-
travagant, -.-, ,
Involvement in modes of culture
means simply that the land shall be un-
der drained, If wet. plowed deep, subsoil-
ed and cultivated thoroughly, 50 as to
keep the weeds down, the surface Of the
ground constantly stirred, and. open to
the ingress of the air and dews. The at
mosphere is a storehouse of moisture,
carbon, am mo MIA. and other vital ele-
ments of crops, but it cannot penetrate
baked closely packed soil, in or to pro-
duee those changes in its chemical con-
dition, without which the wonderful pro-
eesses of plant growth are impossible
But if the surface and subsoil are loosen
ed by deep cultivation and disturbed fre-
quently during the season of vegetation,
the air circulates freely among the parti-
eles of soil; water, the solvent of all the
organic and inorganic constituents Of
crops, is supplied in proper quantities to
produce the right coOditious for the free
appropriation of plant food. Thus the
improved tillage of the soil develops an
extra farm beneath the surface not emu
merated in the title deed, and many s

Psychologist. The muscles of the legs
and arms lose their power before those
which support the head, snd these last
sooner than the muscles which support the
