THE ASYLUM FUND.-Mr. Brownies full
and complete statement of the amount, dis
position, and present state Of this fund will
be found in this issue. 1t will be.seen that
there is aA actual surplus of &35S.20, and
"A possible one of considerable more to be
derived from delinquents. Mr.. Browne
makes no suggestions concerning the dispo-
sition of this surplus, contenting himself
with simple statement of the facts; which
statement we are sure will be satisfactory to
every subscriber. Those interested have
now two duties to perform: first to deter
mine whether the subscriptions which are
unpaid are worth the effort required to col
lect them, and if so to put them i'll process
of collection and, second, to decide wha:
shall be done with the balance in the hands
of Mr. Browne. They will undoubtedly do
this in their own way, without further sug-
gestion from anybody.
MORE WHISKY UNEARTHED.-Sheriff
Davis and Deputy Gates, on Wednesday,
made raid on the bowling saloon next to
Glass furniture store, and at one fell swoop
confscated a score or two of bottles, jugs
and kegs containing about one hundred dol
lars worth of liquor openly kept for sale on
the premises. The information was filed
before Esquire Curtis by the wife of an
Irishman whose husband, usually industri-
Gus and sober, has been for week or two
past pretty constant attendant at the sa-
loon in question, where he was induced to
aoak his brains in the vile compounds kept
il TIE place. The proprietors, Anton Ling
scbd and Nicholas Till, were aiterward ar
raigned before Esquire Little for selling
liquor contrary to law. The latter plead
guilty and was fined twenty dollars. Ling
schid proposes to snake UNI Drove it,"
which is very easy to do, and when proven
his fine ought to be fifty per cant more for
the trouble made. Verify, we begin to think
that we have prohibi,ory law in Iowa, and
that il can be enforced. Who is the next

CURING GRASS

There is great difference between
drying grass and curing it. To insure a
good article of hay we must take little
more time in the process of hay-making
than seems to be generally done. Sup
pose field of ten acres is to be cut, the
mower should start as early as possible in
the morning, and by noon the whole field
will be done. If the weather is dry the
tedder should start at 9 A NJ, beginning
where the mower began and following
the same rounds as the mower, till the
whole field has been tedded over; as soon
as that is done, the te6der should begin
again where it first began, and go over
the ground in the same way, till the grass
has been tedded twice. An hour or two
after the tedder has commenced its second
tedding, the horse hay rake should be
started, following the same course of
rounds as the tedder; and as soon as suf-
fiCient is raked up to form cocks, every
available man and boy on the place should
be put to the work of cooking, and the
whole of the grass made into solid well
made cocks before the evening dews be-
gin to fall. These cocks should stand all
pext day, while another field is being put
through the same process.

OPIUM CULTURE,

The attention of the farmers of Ten.
nessee has been directed to opium culture
by Messrs. John W Morton & Co., drug.
gists of this city, in order to secure q
pure article for medical purposes. On
this subject we find in the Country Gen
Henaan the following communication
from MIR. w. H. White, of South Wind
scr, Connecticut:
Some little while since l was reading
in one of our agricultural papers that a
new enterprise was to be entered into in
one of our New England States in the
shape of cultivating the poppy, for the
sake of obtaining its product in crude
opium. .---.. q
This is new enterprise, certainly in
New England, the field culture of the
poppy; but the culture on small scale
in the garden for the same purpose is no
new thing, as can testify from actusl
knowledge.
More than thirty years since, when
opium was more general article for
quieting the nerves of our aged grand
mothers, the poppy was very common
plant grown in our gardens, SO far as my
observation extended, and small stock
of crude opium was secured therefrom.
The poppy was cultivated the same as
we cultivate any annual flower in our
gardens, with the incidental production of
opium after Towering. M r
OF the Garden Poppy (PdpoUer sonlai-
ferun1,) there are two varieties; one, the
White Poppy, so called because the seed
is generally white; this is the variety
grown for the purpose of extracting
opium; the other is the Black Poppy, be.
cause the seed is black, and furnishes
poppy oil. This seed is also given to cage
birds under the name of "maw seed. y
The blossom, or petals of the corolla,
are set on an Obovate or glObular capsule,
growing to near an inch in diameter, in
the full sized. After the leaves of the
blossom have fallen, slight cuts are made
these capsules, little before noon,
from top to bottom, five or six, or more,
on each, and from these cuts issues a
milky juice, which after standing short
time becomes inspissated sufficiently to
be scrsped off with knife into a suitable
dish and taken TO the house, set away for
a few hours and then worked into ball
or mass; in this form our grandmother
used it for their varied purposes, answe.
ing all the purposes of the opium of the
shops.
The quantity from each capsule would
be small, but then each plant bore several
capsules, so that pill as large as small
sized pea would often be obtained from q
single plant. What are the processes of
clarifying, or preparing it for market, if
any other are necessary, / am not inform
ed, as never knew of its being produced
for market purposes

ORGANIZE.

The Radicals of Fayette county are
organizing for active and vigorous work
in the coming election. The negroes are
thoroughly drilled and collected together
at night TO perfect their plans and pre-
serve their organization. Stealthiness in
their movements and secresy in their
counsel is strictly enjoined among them.
Ask negro what means this playing of
flies and beating of drums at night, and
parrot-ike, he gives tie answer he has
learned; "DOnt mean nutin, sab,
jiSt de 'neUoLent Sciety. Il is q
sin ami shame that these Door,
deluded creatures should be blinded
and gulled into the belief that their for
mer owners are their enemies and that
their interests require them to obey the
behests of Radical cabals and to assem-
bic in midnight meetings where they will
learn from the lips of their fr5endss the
dangers which surround them and the
course they must pursue in order to insure
their safety. This is the only means,
however, by which the carpet-bag SCALA
wag element hope to re-reqr and sustain
the fallen fabric of Radicalism. We had
hoped that in the coming judicial election,
no political issues would be raised, but
since the old dark league is again to be
ushered into existence to defeat certain
candidates, it is eminently the duty of the
conservative element to meet the old foe
with solid front, and rally to the sup
port of the men marked out by their
leader as victims. Let it again be crushed
out in the very morning of is existence
by decided blow at the ballot-box. :

ARRANGEMENT OF BARNS

At d discussion on the arrangement of
barns, at a recent meeting of the Farm
ers' Club of Randolph, Vermont, among
other things, it was said that Easements
in barns were very convenient for saving
manure, and also for affOrding additional
room without increased expense of cover
ing. In building barns reference should
be had TO the comfort of the cattle and
the convenience of those who tend them.
An animals body will warm a space con-
tanning five times the number of cubic
feet that the body occupies. Barns
should be olapboarded as well as dwelling
houses. Doors should not be hung on
rollers at the top. Windows are neces-
sary, as light is conducive to the thrift of
all kinds of stock. The most serviceable
barn is that which contains the greatest
amountof storage for the surface shiugled,
and has an upper driveway, that the crops
map be pitched down into, rather than up
on the NOW. When barns are built too
far from the house, it is irksome to wade
through snow or mud to do the chores.
A stable for COWS should contain plat
form four feet five inches wide for the
COWS to stand on, then a drop of five in
Ches. The stable should be roomy and
well ventilated, not kept too warm by
steaming manure or the breath of the
COWS.
