Hints About Work.

I CLEARING lUP;-Itiss to be taken
for granted that however late the
season, the manure has been hauled
out, and except small quantities of
rich compost for especial purposes, or
the recent accumulations of fertiliz-
ing materials, the barn yards and ma
nure sheds are quite cleaned out.
Barns at the East at least have been
woefully empty for two or three
months, and ought long ago to have
been swept and cleaned of hay-seed
and litter of all kinds. Old hay and
straw compactly packed at one side,
yet conveniently come -at-able, and
the whore ablishment put in order
for the coming crops IF this has
not been DONE do it the first rainy
day
PAsTUREs-Look to the water sup
ply in pastures Nothing dries. up
the fountains of milk like aaIack of
water So also that the grass is mot
fed off too close, for any rain may be
the last for some weeks, and then
perman ent damage would be sustained
BY over stocked land.
MOVING LAND.-Early in the
month it is usually well to go through
the meadows and pastures, and pull
or cut up with spud the rankest of
the weeds, or those most damaging to
the grass and hay. o0 orre1rn1nl lp
CLOVER, if cut early when just
coming into blossom, and given a
light dressing of plaster, or of any
compost, will, if the tools are strong,
make a vigorous second growth, and
ripen a paying crop of seed. Every
farmer might raise his own clover
| seed in most parts of the country.
/ HAVING will begin in favored spots
warm, moist, sunny meadows-and
| there are many meadows which it is
! worth while to cut early, IN order to
get this much out of the way before
the main crop of grass is suffering for
cutting. Such are especially. those
meadows which you can rely upon for
a good after math.A Cut close on
thick sods, but not son thin or open
ones. Cut with the machine when
the dew is all off the grass. and if a
l.tedder is used, keep it In motion
| through the grass all the time. after it
has lain about an hour; the more the
grass is tossed and aired, the quicker
it will dry. Rake it up while the sun
is still very. hot, having all in winrows
before, four o'clock, and leaving it in
| cocks big enough to retain the heat
well into night. a good part will
need but very little summing the next
day, and ought, usually. to be simply
opened and Shaken up after the dew
Is off and the ground hot. Where
moving machines and lhaytedders can
not be used, cut while the dew is on,
turn once, rake up while warm. give the
cocks daily airing and summing, but
do the curing of the hay in the cocks,
leaving them wei made, to shed rain

AGRICULTURAL.
Sheep and Wool.

The proprietors of the New Har-
mony Wooden Mills furnish the Reg
lister, of that place, with some interest
ing items connected with the wool in
terest and the preservation of sheep,
from which we make an extract with
reference 10 the preparation of wool
for the factory and market: 4;TvxT
IL Tagging, in the early part of Spring
saves wool, adds to the health of the
sheep, and deals fairly with the man
ufacturer and buyer.
ut is generally held by those who
have tried it,, that early shearing is
preferable for sheep, if they can be
subsequently, housed, In case of severe
storms or : unusually cold nights.
| Shearing should take place when the
oily-feeling matter, termed 'yolk,' has
so far appeared in the wool as to give
it its natural brilliant appearance and
silky feeling" -, .-,f.t
.sThe fleece should be as little
broken as possible in shearing. 1t
should be, gathered up carefully,
| placed on a smooth table, with the
| inside ends down, put into the exact
shape into which it comes from the
sheep, and pressed close together. Ali
dung balls should be removed. Fold
in each side one-quarter, next the
neck, and breech one -quarter, and the
fleece will then be in an oblong square
form, some twenty inches wide and
twenty-five or thirty Inches long.
Then fold it once more lengthwise,
and it is ready to be rolled up and
tied, or placed In the press. 70 bio
Three hands of moderate size
Irvine (fax or hemp,) free from all
loose fibre, once round, are enough
for the fleece. 1t is fraudulent to
put unwashed wool of sheep that have
died with disease, or of those which
have been killed = or (unwashed tags,
into washed feeces. 1T is also fraud
ulent to sell. barred WOOL so done. up
as to conceal the burs, without giving
notice to the buyefasg H~tdaA T55
Wool should be stored in clean
dry room, tight enough to keep out
dust, yermin and insects IF sacked
and sent to. market, it is put up in
bales nine feet long, formed of two
breadths iof Wburlaps, thirty five or
forty inches wide" 0i0AN
In preparing tub=washed wool for
the factory, tits most desirable tbRt
a system approaching to uniformity
should prevail . It is believed that
the best method for the customer is
to- keep the sheep from. .burs and
stacks OF hay and straw, and then the
operation of tub-washing sufficiently
purifies it for the machine, obviating
the tedious process of picking it by
hand. The objection to dirty and
bury wool is that, in its, manufac-'
turingaso great deduction is made
by loss, that it renders an unsatisfac-
tory return to the customer. But
most all factories, nova days, re-
ceive wool in any conditions having
machines which free the fibre from
impurities. stgair

and to hold the heat of the hay.
Never let any dew fall on the loose
hay. 80
CoRN.-Early maturing kinds will
do very we'll planted the first week in
June; soak in warm water until it
neary sprouts, then stir it about with
little previously warmed pine tar
until every kernal is coated, then
| sprinkle with plaster or lime.
HoEING.-The use of lhoeing is not
only to kill the weeds. for a clean
| field is often an unproductive one
equal to dressing of manure on land
| in poor heart. The use of mere
weeders and surface workers effects
but little except the destruction of
/ the weeds. 1t is most useful to cult
vate deeply, and the one horse pillow,
discreetly used between the rows, not
to hill up too much, but to mellow
and work the soil before the roots
get into it, is preferable to any of the
cultivators. These implements are
most useful after the roots begin to
fill the soil more First the harrow,
| then the plow, last the cultivator
This doctrine applies equally to corn
and potatoes. Frequent and thorough
stirring by horse power SO as not to
hurt the roots, will insure good crops
on any. good soil..-o,.vo ~
RoOT RoPs.-Carrots, and pars-
| nips, and beets, may be sowed as late
as early in June with fair success.
Rutabagas are preferably sown about
the 10th in good deep soil, we'll ma
nured and dressed with bone dust or
superphosphate of lime. ISL
WHITE FIELD BEANS may be plant
ed any time during the month. 1t is
best to put them in drills. Bluepod
or White Marrowfat are good varie-
ties, the latter much the largest, the
former yielding the surest
h0 GREEN II ORAGEI CROPS. -9s1ndian
corn, sown in drills two feet apart, is
probably, the most reliable crop for
|, furaishing green fodder during the
summer. The cost of the seed is an
item which, of ITSELF may deter farm
ers from using it extensively, especi-
ally when sorghum will do nearly as
well, both for green and dry use.
Millets and Hungarian grass, if cut
before the, seed rlpens, afford good
fodder, also, and will do az well on
soil somewhat exposed to drought.
Peas and oats together may be sowed
even in June for cutting and curing
as, hay or feeding green. This crop
requires good, well mellowed soil,
but is not especially exhausting. The
seed required is about two bushels of
each kind to the acre, .i.'9 aii-ii'1'-
CABBAGEs.-Sowof for the. late crop
in seed beds, near the land On which
they are to be grown such varieties
as Flat Dutch, Drumhead, Late Ber-
gen, ETC.. There is ordinarily good
market for cabbages in ali our large
cities, and they are fully equal, to
mangels for cattle and as sure crop.
A crop of cabbages is one of the best
for, killing weeds. New land, with
plenty Of good manure, is to be pre-
ferred. Mr.. Henderson says that
lime in any form, Clones or other
wise), will prevent club-foot.-Ag

SUPPOSED MURDER.-No clue has yet
been discovered as to the whereabouts of
the colored man Lewis Braxton, whose
mysterious disappearance has excited so
much comment. He was last seen on Sa-
turday night at q grocery store near tho
corner of Twenty-second and Main streets,
where he purchased some articles, which
were afterwards found on the steps of his
house, in Nunnally alley. A short time
before he went into the grocery he is
known to have had a quarrel with color
ed man named Frank Williams about O
society to which they belonged. During
that night the inmates of Nunnally alley
heard the cry of murder, and saw man
running from the alley towards Main street,
pursued by two others, The police are
investigating the matter, but up TO late
last evening no trace of the missing man
had been found, and no arrests had been
made.

| HESRco COUNTY CoURT.-There was
nothing but civil business done i'm this
court on yesterday. With one exception
the cases were devoid of interest TO the
general reader. In this case the Virginia
Iron Manufacturing Company applied for
relief from erroneous taxes on their land,
situated on the James River and Kanawha
canal few miles from Richmond. This
property is what was formerly known as
the Westham Magazine, and was sold by
the State of Virginia to this company, ard
conveyed by deed from Governor Letcher
on the 2lst of January, 1860. 1t was
valued at that time at $47, 800, and was
assessed last year at S9l,675. This they
consider an enormous assessment, and pray
the court to grant reassessment. The
tax on this amount was paid last year, but
failing to ask for a new assessment In the
time prescribed by the law, they applied
for relief to the Legislature, who empow-
cred the County Court to act in the mat
ter.
They allege, in further vindication of
their application for reassessment, that in
January, 1864, the Confederate Govern
ment took possession of their works and
held it until the end of the war that when
the United States armies entered this city
the officers of the Government took pos
session of it, confscated and sold all the
personal property thereon, and up to this
time still retain it, although numerous Of
forts have been made to get possession.
The revenue commissioner who assessed
the property not being in court, and the
law requiring his presence when cases of
this kind are heard, the case was docketed,
and continued to the May term of tho
court,

MAYORS COURT-F RIDA Y.-George
Henry Price was arraigned, charged with
stealing two pistols and nine dollars in
money from the house of n. G. Cullen, Oh
Franklin street.
A little negro boy testified that Price
showed him the pistols on Christmas eve,
and told him that he had stolen them from
Mr.. Cullen's house.
Three other witnesses, who occupied a
room with Price, testified to the contrary.
In the absence, therefore, of stronger proof
against Price, he was discharged.
Pat Connor, charged with stealing sixty
dollars worth of rope from Elisha Bethel,
was called up, and the case continued until
this morning.
William Mitchell, charged with assault
ing aud beating Charles keliSh and draw
ing knife upon him, was discharged.
George Eastman, Samuel Johnson, and
Charles Lynch, "boys in blue" were
brought up to answer for breaking into the
house of Harriet Johnson and carrying of
lot of clothing. The trio were escorted
to the Libby.
George Harris, negro, was next called
up to answer for keeping vicious dog,
which he allows TO run at large, and which
bit John III. Shannon. Harris was dis
charged, and ordered to keep his dog lock-
ed up. Mr.. Shannon, not satisfied with the
decision, went out OF the courtroom grum-
bling. Harris came back into court and
stated that Shannon threatened to shoot
him. The Mayor told him to take out a
warrant for Shannon's arrest; which he
did.

GAS IN THE MINES.

While we are unable to do or say any.
thing to break the terrible force Of this sad
occurrence as q bereavement to the sur.
viving relatives and friends Of those who
were lost, or to lower the public estimate
OF the destruction or injury Of property
ln'oiSed IN the accident, as We have as yet
no Information on this latter point, 1t may
Dc worth while at once to relieve the gene
raj operations of our neiqbboripu coal
field from an inference that might we'll he
drawn from this occurrence, that the ba-
zard Of such q catastrophe is contingency
that belongs to such operations. This
would be grave error, and while we are
inviting the location of mining capital in
our neighborhood, if not corrected, it
might work great discouragement to such
enterprises.
Now, it is fact that the presence Of in
aammable gas in our coal veins is not q
general feature of the coal-feld. Sections
only of the field are infested with this ter
rible enemy of the miner, and the loca-
tions where it has developed itself in suf-
ficient volume to involve serious disaster
are very few indeed. Not one shaft in
fifty of the number sank on the entire
length of the field from Deep Run to
Clover Hill has discovered the existence
of one cubic foot of infammable gas or
sire DAMP" as the miners call it. There
fore, as terrible as this accident is, it
should not prejudice operations in our
coal-feld, which is gradually working it
self into the confidence of shrewd inves-
tigators, and we trust will, as it should be-
fore many years, become great source OF
wealth to our city and our State.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.-Yeste after
noon, as little girl, the daughter of ar
esteemed citizen, was amusing herself il
the Capitol Square, her attention was at
tracted by the tricks of little terrier dog
which was playing near stranger who
was seated upon one of the benches in a
secluded part of the Square. AS she ap-
preached the dog the man called her, and
drawing from his pocket a titty-ccnt note,
asked her to accept it. The innocent lit
tie creature showing her ignorance of the
object of the villain, he manifested his de-
sire by gestures which it would be highly
improper here to describe, when she ran
away, alarmed beyond measure. Having
been informed of the insulting proceeding,
the father of the little girl Immediately re-
paired to the spot which she had indicated,
fully prepared to take vengeance upon the
scoundre1. As might have been expected,
however, he had fled, and the most diligent
inquiry failed to discover his identity or
whereabouts. The child could only de-
scribe the man as having red hair and be-
ing dressed in suit of black. This de-
scription, it will be remembered, exactly
accords with that of the villain who, on
Wednesday last, was detected in dogging
the footsteps Of two young ladies who were
promcnading Main street. If it is the
same, it is hardly probable that his insult
ing acts will again be repeated before he is
apprehended by our efficient police.
