SALT AND ASHES rs A MANURE.

A correspondent Of the Southern
Cultivutor gives the following state
mcnt in regard to the application Of
salt ana ashes to iund as manure;
In 1852 l pun chased twenty-five
bushels Of dirty salt Which frl! from
bacon which was stored in Atlanta,
at q cost OF fifteen cenj.- i bushclc.
1t cost III Athons twcnty five cents
per bushel. l mixed it, with I'LL til.
old lcachod ashos that could be col
Iccted on tho lot-thc ordinary guam
lity which accumulatcs during tho
year on q town lot. This l spread
broadcast over eight acres Of tLin,
coarse, sandy soil, badly worn by cult
vation, but which had, in previous
years, manure applied in the hill.
Ny recollection is, that ashes, salt
and all made about eight bushels por
acre. This .piocc (of eight acros)
planted in corn, four tcet each way,
one stalk to The hill. During its
growth, it was frequently noticed by
persons who know nothing Of what
was done to the land, on account Of
the deep green color Of corn. Many
questions wcro asked about it. The
seasons, L think, were good. l gath
cred from these eight acres fifteen
large two l.olsc wagon loads Of cyrn
iii tho shuck-cqual, L suppose, 10
about thirty bushels per aero.
Again, in 1888 or 1854, planted
another pcco OF land on. the opposite
side Of tho road, somewhat thinner
than the eight acres described above
This land was laid OIL five feet apart.
In these rows 1 drilled the same mix
turc Of old lcached ashes and silt, III
about tho same rate per acre. Thl
green appearance Of tho corn while
growing, and the great height te
which tho stalks grew, was still NOR,
rema, kabie, and attracted more no
tice and more frequent remarks. dit

FRUIT WITHOUT SroNEs.-At tho last
meeting of the Agricultural Society in In.

a plan by which the stones Of fruit may
be reduced or made to disappear, and the
pulp increased in size and flavor. At any
time during the cold season select branch
that is 10 be used afterward for marching.
Split it up carefully somewhat less than
span long. From both halves of the
branch thus split scoop out clearly all the
pitb then bring the split halves together
again, and keep them bandaged till they
become thoroughly united. Atsthe usual
time, the beginning Of the rains, march
The branch thus treated upon suitable
stock; taking from the place of union the
portion Of the branch just below where
the split was made. Upon branch Of
the tree thus produced a similar operation
is performed, and SO on for successive sss.
sons the result being that the stone Of
the fruit becomes less and less after each
successive operation. "his process has
been applied likewise to the grapevine at
Malaga; and plants thereby have been pro-
duced which bear the finest fEnitSwlthout
the slightest vestige Of s@stsns within

GROWING TURNIps WITH ConN.-
Mr. Barnes, of Westmoroland, Onei-
da county, New York, has a novel
method of growing turnips with corn,
which we do not remember to have
seen described before. lie plants his
corn three feet four inches apart, each
way, which makes four Thousand
hills to the acre, and manures the hill
with wcll-rotted manure. He uses
about ten loads of manure to the acre,
and while loading up the manure in
in the yard, turnip seed is scattered
ovcr the load two or three times-or,
in other words, when third of
load is put upon wagon, few seeds
arc sprinkled ovo- =, and 80 on for
every third of the load. The manure
then is cartcd to the field, and placed
in the rows where it is to bo used, and
and the corn planted. He states by
this method about every hill will have
its turnip plant which grows well
with tho corn, and yields at the rate
of ono hundred and fifty bushels to
tho acre, without any detriment to
to the corn crop. The turnip plants
become firmly established by the
time the corn is fit to cut, and after
that make most Of their growth, ad-
vancing with great rapidity. BE says
the turnip do not interfere with the
growing Of pumpkins among the corn,

Revolution In Yucatan = Misery In
Mexico.

HAVANA, Dec. 26.-The steamship
touched at Sissal on the 23d inst,
ter. The revolution in Yucatan was
assuming large proportions. Santa
Anna had been proclaimed Dictator
by the revolutionists, and was ex-
pected hourly to arrive from Havana
with men and a million of dollars.
The port and town of Sissal were in
the hands of the rebels, but the port
was blockaded by two Mexican gun
boats.
A number of officers who had for
merly served under the Empire had
arrived at Sissal from Matamoras.
An engagement took place On the
10Th between the Mexican gunboats
and the batteries on shore.
Yucatan, in the vicinity of Sissal,
is diligently watched to prevent the
landing of troops coming from any
foreign country to aid the rebellion.
When the Virginia left Vera Cruz,
on the Goth, the Mexican steamer
TObosco was ready to sail for Sissal
on the next day, with an expedition
to restore the authority of the Gov
ernment at that place. She had on
boa rd 500 or 600 men and several
pieces Of artillery.
Santa Anna is in this city.
Many ex-Imperialist officers have
arrived here. They all seem to be
very busily engaged.
Havana advices from the City of
Mexico, to the 10Th inst, are received.
There was much misery throughout

exhaustion and disorganization caused
by the protracted war for independ-
ence. A general call was made upon
the government to take effective meas
ures to prevent the increase of brig
andage, to which many people were
compelled to resort by hunger. Peace
had been established at Tepec.
An official count Of the vote for Pres
ident was to be made in the capitol
