The Summer FaIIow

In advocating more summer tal-
lows. we do not wish to be under
stood as contending that it is the
hest course under the most favora-
BILE circumstances. Where land is
in condition to produce a heavy
crop of wheat, that is of good
quality, after spring crops or clio
yer. a fallow may not be needed.
Where land is in only fair condi~
ton, an early crop Of clover may
be taken off, and a short but very
good fallow may be made. But
there is not a very large amount OF
land rich enough to do the one,
while farmers too generally allow
clover to run out before blowing, to
admit of the other. There Is a
very large amount Of poor wheat
crown every year - wheat that
yields from ten bushels down to
nothing, where there ought to be
from twenty TO thirty bushels per
acre AS there is more profit IN one
coed crop than several poor ones
fbere can be little doubt that 1t If
better policy to sow less wheat
and by better preparation anC
manuring, grow larger amount
on less land.
Another reason for better pre-
a,ioD Is tn grow better quality

FARM AND GARDEN.
Dried Apples.

Who does not like fried apples
We all like apples in a raw state
or when they are baked or stewed
and it cannot be denied that they
furnish one of the most wholesome
and agreeable kinds of diet. AL
though apples raw, stewed or baked
may be pronounced excellent and
delicious, still there are many kinds,
when fried, which are super excel.
lent, and they who seldom meet
with a dish of fried apples often
wonder why they are not always
fried, instead of baked. When an
pies are baked, they often burst
open, and much of the best part of
them flows out as juice, and is lost.
But when they are fried the whole
is saved, and {" it is a dainty DISH"
In those regions where potatoes
are few and poor, on ac-
count of the rot, fried apples
are an excellent substitute. A
dish of fried apples is quickly pre-
pared for the table, which is often
consideration of no small import
ance. Wash them-cut them in
tWo-take out the stem, core and
calyx, and, unpealed, put them into
a tin-pan with butter, or the gravy
of baked pork, with some water, in
proportion to the quantity to be
fried-cover them with a lid-set
them on the stove-stir them occa
sionally, until they become soft, and
be careful not to burn them. Ro-
NANTES, which are often almost
worthless, baked or raw, disappear
with good gusto when fried" We
may truthfully pronounce despica-
BILE Pennocks, when fried, good; but
the POrters, bellefowers, Tallman
sweets, and long list which we
might name, when fried, are really
luxury. Sour apples do not fry
well--they fry to pieces too much.

Buckwheat.

We think the value of buckwheas
as farm crop is not properly APP
preciated in this part of the coun-
try.
Many object to it because they
say it spreads over the farm and be-
comes nuisance. But the farmer
who does his work promptly and
thoroughly, will have no trouble on
this score. Some adopt the plan of
threshing it on the ground where it
grows, carrying only the grain
away, but burning the straw. There
is no need of such precaution, for
if the threshing is done in the barn,
and some of the grains scattered
the hens will find most of them.
But if some Of the seed should be
carried in the manure and scattered
over the farm, it will terminate di~
rectly, and is as easily killed as any
other plant or weed. We know a
man in Illinois who raises much Of
it every year; and as soon as the
ground is in order in the spring,
he goes over his last years buck
wheat field with the cultivator, or
heavy harrow, thus covering the
seed so that it will sprout, and
when he gets ready to plant corn or
potatoes, he plows it under, and has
no more trouble with it.
One advantage Of this crop is,
that it may be sown after other
crops are put in. In this latitude
it may be sown any time between
the first and twentieth Of July. We
once sowed some the ninth Of July,
in the north part of this State, and
had fine crop.
Sometimes, owing to sickness,
continued wet weather, or some IN
foreseen event, even the best farm
ers fail of planting in season all the
ground they had intended to plant;
some field or small patch is still
living idle. Buckwheat may be
sown there, and even if the ground
is not rich, fair crop may be ex-
pected.
There is probably no crop thai
leaves the soil so light and mellow
as buckwheat, and hence one of the
benefits of sowing it on stiff clay
soil as a preparation for corn. Mo-
is there any crop that will so thor
oughly smother and kill out weeds
1t comes up very quick, and it
leaves being large, shade the grount
so that nothing can grow unde'
them.
After taking off a crop of ha.
the ground may be plowed ant
sown to buckwheat; or old pasture
ground may be treated in the sam
way, and it will be in better condi
ton for corn the next year, than
would have been if it had bee
ulowed and laid idle during tn
summer and fall. When choppe
or ground closely, it is one 6
the very best articles Of feed 70
mich COWS and horses, and pei

when properly made?

WE have received several copies OF
an Address to the People of Missis-
sippi," by L. c. NoRvELL, of Pass
Christian, Republican candidate foI
Governor, who, among other thin
promises to oppose most strenuousiy
the proseriptive clauses of the COnsti-
tuition of Mississippi, and use all
proper efforts to persuade his fellow
citizens of that State to vote them
down. This is very creditable to his
head and heart; but We suppose there
will be a Democratic candidate more
acceptable to the people of Mississippi
and who will faithfully and earnestly
labor to the same end. In any case, it
is our earnest hope that the people OF
Mississippi will never consent to re-
construction until they can see their
way clear of all trouble, chicanery,
theft, robbery and destruction of the
best interests of the State, such as we
of Tennessee have had to endure as
the great penalty of a tOo-hasty and
desperately planned system.

earnest in their efforts at freedom from
the New Dominion. The reading of
the resolutions offered recently in the
House of Assemblyo of that colony were
attended with much excitement, and
many expressions of desire that they
should be made to express not only
the repugnance of the people to the
New Dominion government, but their
wish to be permitted to adopt, indie
pendent of England, such political in
as, in their Judgment, are
most conducive to their Happiness and

TIE New York Economics, a paper
of extended influence amongthe great
mercantile public of that city, treat
ing of our late Commercial Conven-
ton, says it was eminently a repre-
sentative body, and that I" the great
shipping, railroad, manufacturing,
cotton and agricultural interests of the
South were represented by delegates,
who evinced a thorough knowledge
of the various subjects under consid-
Grafton" 1t also says that "the re-
commentators of the Convention
were nearly all of a character calcu-
lated to evoke general approval, and
some of them evince a high advance
in the principles of political economy,
that is probably far more characters
tic of our business men than of our
Legislators and politicians"
This is in marked contrast with the
opinion expressed by the New York
Bulletin, another influential CONNER
elal paper, which says what IS not
true, and what few, we hope, will be-
lieve, "that the Convention made
mistakes which, under the circum-
stances, are inexcusable, of i~ndulging
in noisy demonstrations over the ex-
preston Of sentiments hostile to the
General Government, offensive to the
people of the North, and insulting to
the delegates from the Northern States,
who seem to have exercised their pO-
likeness and fOrbearance at the eX-
pense of their persOnaIdignity. Con-
sidering the exigencies of the South
at the present time, and the necessity
for cultivating friendly relations be-
tween the two sections, the action of
the Convention was ill-advised, and
evinces a want of judgment that will
do the people of the South an meal
culable amount of injury"
