The Cultivation of Barley.

W. have received many letters asking in
formation about harley, and We conclude
that attracted b. he comparatively high
prices which have prevailed for few years
mast. many who have hitherto paid no at
tention to this crop are intending to raise it.
They had better do SO on small scale at
first. Our climate is not as favorable for
barley as it is for oats and wheat. We can
not obtain a good crop unless the ground Is
dry, clear and rich 1t seldom does well on
recently inverted sod It's best place IN
rotation is after highly manured ana
thoroughly cultivated corn crop. The best
crons are obtained on rather heavy cal
carous loan, proriaedit it has been thoroughly
pulverized during the preceding summer and
autumn. But as this is seldom the case,
the soils that usually gives the best me-
dunn crops are those ofa lighter and warm
character-or sandy loans.
Barley should either be sown very early,
or very late-say the moment the ground Is
fit to work in the spring, or not until the
heavy spring rains are over. We have had
the best success in sowing very early, say
the first of April but good crops are fire.
quently obtaiued when sown ss late as the
middle of May Much depends uron the
season. IF we have heavy rains soon after
the barley is sown, and then before the plants
cover the ground, dry weather sets in, the
surface of the soil becomes baked, and the
crop suffers. 4 crop sown Immediately
after the spring rains, as soon as the land Is
in condition to work, commences to grow
rapidly at once, and often does better than
crop sown two weeks earlier-but not as
well as crop sown month earlier. Ifthe
soil is rich and has been plowed the fall pre-
vious, sow as early as it will work without
clogging.
When barley l. going 10 SELL the six-rowed,
orwhat is called the .foar-rowed( though there
is no such thing as four-rowed barley, Is
the most proftable-because it brings from
ten to fifteen cents bushel more than the
:wo rowed. But when barley is grown to
feed out on the farm, the two rowed is alto
gether the best, especially on strong, rich
land. 1t weighs more per bushel, and II
the soil is rich enough, it will yield more
per acre. 1t has another advantage, of
being later than the four rowed, which ripens
at the same time as wheat, and we have
wheat and barley harvest on US at once.
With the two-rowed we can get through with
the wheat by the time the barley is ready
We usually SOW from 2 to p bushels per
acre 1.-THE land is very rich and it is sown
early and drilled in, less seed is required.
Last year we had better crop from 1t
bushel of seed per acre, than from p bush
els-but the land was in better condition,
and sown week earlier. The yield varies
more than that of almost any other crops,
depending somewhat on the season, but
much more on the condition and previous
culture of the soil We have had over fifty
bushels per acre, aud in just as good season,
and on land naturally as good, we have had
only twelve bushels. We again advise our
readers not to SOW barley unless the land is
in good condition.

EDUCATION OF THE AGRICULTURIsT.-
Daniel Webster SAID, No man is SO high
as to be independent of the success of this
great interest," no man is SO low as not to be
affected by its prosperity nv: decline. The
cultivation of the earth is the most impor-
tant labor Of man. Man may be civilized,
in some degree, without great progress in
manufactures, and with little commerce
with his distant neighbors, but without cul
tiyation of the earth, he is, in all countries,
a savage Until he gives up the chase and
fixes himself to some place and seeks liv
ing from the earth, he is a roaming barbar-
ian. When tillage begins, other arts follow.
The farmers, therefore are the founders of
human civilization.

Rear i'm Mind.

That MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS is skill
fully compounded, free from injurious COM
ponent parts, agreeable to the taste, and
destructive to disease. If you detect any
change fromthe natural functions of your
system, no matter how trivial or where
located or If disease has already entrcnched
ITSELF the really true and reliable remedy
in either case is MISHLER'S HERB BIT
TIERS. This assertion is based upon what
we know it will do in relieving, curing and
wartling of disease. For want OF space we
cannot detail the diversified uses of this
Bittcrs, but its general effects upon the hui
man system are to purify the blood and
sccrctionS; correct morbid changes in the
blood, cqualizc its circulation, enrich its
constituents and regulate its supply; it I'M
parts vitality and elasticity to every organ;
ovcrcOmcS all functional arrangements;
assists in the process of digestion; creates Il
healthy appetite; prevents and cures mias-
matte and intermittent fevers, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, nervous headache, kidney
affections, and revives the physical ener-
gies by infusing new life AMI power into the

Thrice Armed!

Thrice is he armed who keeps within
reach of his hand II specific that ut one and
the same time will strengthen, regulate and
dered and corrupted.
such is the threc-fold operation of Hos
letters Stomach BitterS, and hence III,
great superiority of that standard vegetable
restorative over all medicines that are
merely tonicS and nothing else. The effect
of the ordinary aStringent tincturcs and
extracts upon the bowels is disastrous, and
upon the depraved blood or bile they pro-
duce no beneficial effects whatever. In
dyspepsia and liver complaint all the fluids
and huIRors of the body are more or less
infected, and the bowels are often badly
constipated. An unmodified aStringent-
quinine for inStance-doeS infinitely more
harm than good in such cases. In Hostel
ter's Bitters, on the other hand, the stimu-
lating and tonic elements are qualified with
nperientS and antiSeptic ingredients. The
finest laNatives and blood depurents in the
vegetable kingdom are intermixed with
those of purely invigorating nature, and
under the operation of this admirable COM
bination, the three important processes OF
invigoration, regulation and publication
go on together. The rapidly with which
the disordlered organization returns to it's
natural condition, under course OF the
Bitters is due TO this cause. Every disturb
ed function Of the body is favorably effected
by the various properties of this compre-
hensive and well balanced preparation.
AS general rule the bowels are more sub
ject TO Irregularities, and the fluids more
liable to become Initiated in spring and
summer than in winter, and hence the
Bitters are especially valuable as n spring
nItnr1tlVp-
vigorant. At all seasons where the seeds
of intermittent feverS infect the air, this
healthful vegetable elixir should be taken
rs Il protective medicine.

The Raleigh, y. c., !SentiRslis publish
ing comparative statements of the eX-
penses ofthe State government before and
since Radical rule, showing an amount
of proAigate waste in the expenditure OF
public money without a parallel in the
history of the State. The entire eX-
penses of the State government for the
year commencing October lat, 1850,
and ending September 30th, 1867, were
$343, 24467. Entire expenses of same
from October 1st, 1868, to September
30th, 1869, (the first year under Radi,
cal rule,) S792,6S3.S6. Excess Of ex-
penses under Radical rule, S44S, $50. 10.
And to this should be added the ex-
penses of the session of the State Legis-
lature of lS69-70, amounting to $500
600. Military rule in the South was
infinitely better than the rule of Radical
Legislatures, because with one or two
exceptions, the commanding officers
were gentlemen and the soldiers very
good men, while the Governors and
Legislatures of those States are made
of carpet baggers, scalawags and ne
groes, three-fourths of whom are scoun-
drels of the lowest order.

An excellent indication of the thrift
that prevails among the industrial
classes in this country is found in the
number of savings banks established i'll
various States, and the vast sums de-
posted in them. In New York full
$l50,000,000 is deposited in the savings
institutions by about 500, 1000 depositors.
In Massachusetts, there were one hun
dred and thirty-one savings banks, hay-
ing deposits to the amount Of $1l4,OOO,'
900. This is equal TO all the value OF
all the corporate capital invested in
cotton, wooden, iron and textile manu-
features; nearly double the appraised
value of all the railways and exceeding
by $35,0O00O0 the capital of all the
banks of discount in that State last
year. In New York and New England
it is estimated that about S330000,0OO
are deposited by over 100000 deposit
ors. In the Western States savings
banks are furnishing and will in due
time compare favorably with those of
the older States. ~
