FIELD AND FIRESIDR.
Deep Tillage.

Most farmers would plow their lands two
or three inches deeper than they now do, if
it were not so hard work for their teams. a
pair Of horses will turn a fprrow seven or
eight inches deep, and plow an acre and
half or two acres day; but when the plow
is run to ten or twelve inches, it is too hard
for most teams to draw it; consequently,
many farmers prefer to plow more shallow,
and take their chances for good crop.
For Corn, when sud ground is turned over,
it is advisable to pillow only just deep enough
to turn the sod over fat, with some six inches
of the earth beside, making with sod and ell
about eight inches. This is about as deep
as sod land should ever be plowed, because
when you go deeper. the sod is turned moro
upon its edges, which is a bad system OF
blowing; but the next time the land is
pioved after the sod has become rottcd; it
would be well to plow foot deep, at least,
end some soils Is to Is inches would be bet
ter, if cue has teams to do it, two pair of
horses, or two yoke of oxen.
Not all soils, however, will bear plowing so
deep, and be advantageous. Light aud sandy
soils should not be pIowed so deep as to throw
up a stratum of sub soil that is almost uupro-
ductive; but clay loans that extend down
Is inches may be plowsd as deep as any or
ulnary piow can De Ihlue 10 run anu IL WIZ
be greatly benefited thereby.
Deep plowing not only benefits the land
by mixing the surface and sub,soils but it
also prevents any serious loss of crops from
the droughts. Indeed, hardly an instance is
on record where 4 crop has been badly injured
by the drought, when the land was ploughed
from II to Is inches deep. The reason is
this: the porosity of the soil below the roots
of the plants allow constant rising of mOls-
lures from below, which could not occur if
the land had been P!owed no deeper than the
roots of the plants penetrate.

fed it as a duty. Right began our struggle
RIGHT justified aud ennobled it, right animated
our soldiers, right made them strong to suf

ry around their banners wherever their ban

right lit in their hearts the flames of that he

pi !; and, now, right stands amid our ruins and
graves, and pointing to the glores ofour cause
and waiting in hope for the terrible retribu-
ton of the future, lifts towards the heavens

protests against the oppression of victorious

We stand by the past of our country and
cause, and we accept no Future WHICH will
not accept that Past. There are men who
bend their principles before the bayonet.-
There are men who desert lhe altars of lost
cause round which they once stood with the
blood in their hearts painting for liberation,
and who kneel to offer homage at the altars
of successful wrong. There are men who
trample under foot the very standards that
once foated proudly over them. There are
men base enough to lift their hands against
the very rights for which they once uphfred
swords. We are not such. For us, princi-
pie is principle, right is right-yesterday-
to,day-to- -morrow-forever. Submission to
might is not surrender of right. We yield
to the one-but shall never yield up the
other.
We shall do our best, therefore, to save
from oblivion the memories and traditions of
the COnfederacy. Whoever in the South is
ashamed of these had better not read The
BANNER OF THE South" Amid the ques-
tions which agitate the present. we should
never lose pride in our past, 1t is too grand
to be forgotten. Pass down its memories
they should live forever.

behind the Scenes"

This is the title of book by "Mrs. Keckley,
for thirty years slave, but more recently
modiste and friend to Mrs, Lincoln" which
will shortly be published. 1t is pretty literally
interspersed with miscellaneous scan. mag,
and will be rich morsel for dal-mongers
We are treated with displays of feminine
jealousy on the part of Mrs. Lincoln, and of
the moral and religions character of her
husband. Mrs. Lincsln's opinions of generals
and statesmen are given. She says of Chief
Justice Chase, then Secretary Of the Treasury,
in conversation with her husband, that che is
anything for Chase. If he thought he could
make anything by it he would betray you to-
morrow" OF Mr.. Seward: ''It makes me
mad to see you sit still'a let that hypocrite
Seward twine you around his finger as if you
were a skein of thread" General Mcclellan
she pronounces to be "a humbug" General
Grant even is not exempt from the whitening
criticism of this worthy lady. eyes, he
generally manages to claim victory, but such
a victory! He loses two mem to the enemy's
one. He has no management, no regard for
life If the war should continue four years
longer. and he should remain in power, he
would depopulate the North. [ could fight
an army as we'll myself According to his
tactics, there is nothing under the heavens
to do but to march new line of men up in
front of the Rebel breast-works, to be shot
down as fast as they take their position, and
to keep marching until the enemy grows tired
of the slaughter. Grant, repeat, is an obsti-
nate fool and a butcher" She further adds
that "should Grant ever be elected President
of the United States she would desire to leave
the country, and remain absent during his
term of Office" So the General will have,
at all events, one most decided opponent in
his Presidential schemes Mrs. Keckley,
further on, tells US of her mistress that search
the world over, and you will not find her
counterparts." On Mrs. Lincoln's departure
from the White House subsequent to the death
Of her husband Mrs. Keckley informs us that
lady lowed different store bills amounting TO
S7O,0O0," and that "Mr. Lincoln knew
nothing of these bills, and the only happy
feature of his assassination was that he died
in ignorance of them" This secret is dis
closed in regard to Mrs. Lincoln's debt ''n
order to explain why she should subsequently
have labored under pecuniary embarrass-
ments.' We are also told the well-worn story
Of Mrs. Lincolns "od clothes" experiences,
with the addition of many private facts
connected with that delectable adventure
while, in an appendix, a series of letters from
the widow of the deceased President, purely
private and unhesitatingy confidential are
published to prove the authenticity of what

How to Grow a Large Crop of Corn.

In April, gather together all the leachcd
and uneached ashes, and the dropping OF tho
poultry house. and under cover, mix and
thoroughly incorporate, ready for use. About
the 25th of April or first of May, drag the
ground all to pieces, and then drag it over
again. May Sth 10 lOIh. drag again aud mark
the rows four feet apart each way. May 10th
to l4th plant seven or uiue grains in Il hill.
With two boys or girls drop the seed at the
intersection of the rows one man plant
three or four acres per day. Cover one inch
deep.
Immediately after planting before the corn
sprouts, out with your compost Of ashes aud
homemade guiana, aad drop from two u four
spoousfull on each hill. As soon as you can
follow the rows nicely, 20 in and cultivate
both ways. All the scare crow yOu want ia
the field s-yourself. Thin out 10 five plants
in hill. When the corn is four or five
inches high cultivate and weed aud hoe
carefully with hand hoe. Then cultivate
often as once in ten days until 1t is too
large to drive horse among.
Never hill corn up. IT'S roots need all the
heat Of the sun to perfect its growth. As
soon As it is in the tasseI. 60 throu sh it with
the corn knife, and cut all weeds close TO the
ground, SO as to let in the air and sunshine
to mature the crop. September 1Oth to 2Oth,
cut up and put about twenty hills in a shock.
October lst to 18th, husk and crib.
| have in this way raised 100 bushels of
sound ears on II! acres, aud heavier crops

Now for the Presidency.

Connecticut, and proclaimed far and wide
that the election of Jewell would be an in

under which we're pictures of these worthless,
it becomes interesting to forecast the proba.
BILE result of the Presidential election, based
upon that Of the recent contest ir Connecti-
cut We have, therefore, colated few
figures bearing upon the point, showing the
majority given by the States to be enumerated
at their last general election, their probable
majorities next fall, based upon the vote OF
the two contending parties in Connecticut,
and the electoral votes to which they will be
entitled, and which they will be likely to cast
for the Democratic candidate:

Total electoral votce 1873
Necessary to choice. ia
Several States which the Democrats will
contest closely with the Radicals, and which
they hope to carry for their candidate in the
fall, are omitted from the above table, TO wit {:
Minnesota, Maine, Nevada, West Virginia,
Wisconsin, and possibly Kansas, inasmuch as
this latter State is gradually approaching the
Democratic line. The calculation is nude
without including the electoral votes of the
Southern States since at the present rate Of
reconstruction (if the Radicals should have a
perpetual majority in Congrcss) they would
not be roadmtted to the Union in time to
participate in the Presidential election of
1872.
Our Democratic friends throughout the
country will please bear these figures in mind
and remember that they are to strain every
nerve to make what is a forecast in April a
reality in Novembert TO accomplish this
they must begin to work now.-New Koyh

How TO KEEP Fresh MEAT.-Steak,
(pork and beel,) sausages, puddIngs, etc, can
be kept fresh the year round, by frying and
seasoning when fresh, the same for the Ia
bic, packing down in crooks or lard cans, and
pouring hot lard over them, covering about
one inch When needed, scrape of the lard
and heat through. This is valuable informa-
ton to farmers and others, who kill beef
and dispose of portion at low rate, and
then are unable to procure fresh meat during
the summer. Those who have adopted this
plan assert that it is impossible to detect any
difference between the preserved and the re-
Gently prepared meats.
