A few white men at Tuscaloosa, hav-
ing voted for the new Constitution, the
Monitor, comes down Oh them thus:
"Some Of these we know, some we do
not know, and all we never wish to know,
save to shun their filthy touch. Let ev-
cry honest man cut them off from trade,
from recognition, from humanity! Vice
must be thus crushed in its incipiency, or
we will never be able to separate it from
virtue. Let every man prove himself
now by his acts. '.Touch not, taste not,
handle not" Every tree that bringcth
not forth good fruit, should be cut down.
"By their fruits ye shall know them.
There are not enough mean men in
Tuscaloosa to support them; and if all
tie good aaen will avoid them, socially
and financially, they will have to seek
more congenial latitudes,, till they &DalJy
reach a latitudinal h-Ir!

The special interest Of the farmer this
month viii be in the due preparation OF
the corn ground The American Farmer
contends that the roller should follow the
pillow TO pack the sod and make the work
ing even. Narrowing and cross harrow
ing should then be continued until the
whole is put in thorough order This
thorough working will, it is true, en-
courage the growth of young grass, but
it stimulates in like manner the growth
of the corn. As the business Of the sea-
son is to keep the grass down, it is only
necessary to 90 TO work on it more
promptly. No good farmer should object
to see his grounds grow grass freely, for
he may be sure at the same time Of the
rapid growth Of his crops, if he gives
them due protection When the ground
is duly prepared the preparation for
planting is to be made by laying of fur
rows so shallow as not to disturb the
sod at such distance as may be preferred
This will depend in g measure upon the
character and condition Of the soil A
strong loan with a good sod inverted
needs no greater distance than three
and half feet square This well pre-
pared, and with some stimulating
fertilizer in the hill will SO forward
the young crop that the working
may be finished up before harvest, and
the roots from that time may have unob-
structed range In that case the crop is
not liable to suffer from close planting
Without plants enough, it must be borne
in mind, a maximum cannot be made
and the difference in the number of hills
to the acre at three and half and fouI
feet each way is very material The
prejudice against close planting has
arisen from the damage done by working
up to too late a period of growth. After
the ear begins to form, the crop must be
let absolutely alone Up to that time,
quick and diligent working will have
kept the grass and weeds well down, and
no damage need now be feared from them
half so great as the tearing up Of the corn
roots in the hot summer weather In
lighter lands, or in the absence of a good
sod, the distance must be greater
