Fine TrOtring sport Promised.

Much interest is being manifested IN the
trotting races to come off at our Fair
Grounds during the week. A number of
horses have arrived and are now in the
stables on the Grounds. z. C. Shadburne,
of Louisville. Ky, has ''W. K Thomas"
and "Mollie Ruckner, two noted trotters.
j. L. Biggs, of Cincinnati, is here with
Dart and "Grey Billy, both famous in
turf records. Bob johnson, of Louisville,
KY, has two horses, names unknown, and
.seph Odom, Of Samner ;oounty, has
stable that will be hard to beat. Our own
Tennessee" owned in this city will
contend for the premiums. In
addition to the above named
stables, there are several others
expected to arrive in time for the racing
on Tuesday, for which there is a 5000
premium offered.
A premium of two hundred dollars is
offered by the Directors of the Association

ouded, and the one taking this will not be

STRAWBERRY BEDS.

One of our exchanges advises people
who have strawberry beds not to delay at
tention to them, if nothing has been done
to them since fruiting season. Go to
work and plow or spade up the ground
between the rows thoroughly. Work up
the soil in the rows with a fork, hoe or
spade, cleaning out all weeds; cut off all
the old tops, and scatter liberal supply
of well deoompOsed manure among them
nothing better than hen manure and
ashes mixed with mould from the woods.
1t is also good plan before spading or
blowing the soil between the row, to scat
ter compost on and turn it under. The
roots are greatly benefited by coming into
contact with such.
If your bed has been allowed to grow
''hilter-skilter'' heretofore, and covers the
entire surface, simply draw line and cut
it with TIE spade to show where the edges
of the rows are TO be, and then spade
under the vines between the rows, leaving
rows about six inches in width and eigh-
teen inches apart from center to center.
If the plantation is left in its present con-
ditiOn, it will be of no value another
season. Remember, the more new roots
the plant forms this season before winter
sets in, the larger the crown will become,
and the more fruit stalk germs will be
formed this fall, and the greater the crop
another season. Ii is a mistaken idea
with many that the fruit germ is formed
in the spring. Feed them well now and
they will feed you in return next season.

FARM AND GARDEN.
WINTERING CARBAGEs.

Many persons dig a trench in dry soil,
and place the cabbages, heads down
wards, and cover them over, leaving the
stumps out and exposed. The German
town Telegraph reverses this order as
follows: ''Select a dry part of the gar
den; dig trenches of sufficient depth to
receivethe cabbage roots and stalks up to
the head, into these trenches trans
plant the cabbages heads up, of
course-fill in the dirt carefully
about them, up TO the heads-plant four
short posts, two of them being higher
than the others to give pitch to the roof
nail shingling lath, or strips of old board
from one post to the other, and another
board half way up lay upon this num-
Der of bean poles, protecting also the
sides-and your cabbages will keep in
good condition until May. Where there
is fence, only two posts will be necessa-
ry, that being employed as the apex of
the cover or roof" The plan is at least
worth trying.

wEAKLEY COUNTY FAIR.
Fourth Day.


The fourth day of the Weakley County
Fair at Dresden was more successful than
any of the preceding ones as regards the
attendance The day was delightful, and
tha exhibition every way fine.

th5 model horses of other grades on exhi-
Ji.iOn.

81 iing the list of premiums which were
iudiciously awarded There was dramatic
exhibition on Thursday night in which the
Indy of Lyons was rendered by the
amateurs most successfully, and the delight
of all. The characters were well cast and
happily sustained A well rendered farce
concluded the entertainment.
The browning feature of the day was the
baby show. We venture the assertion that
finer babies, or sweeter babies, or prouder
mothers of their babies, do not exist than
were brought together. The premium OF
$40 for the finest baby under twelve
n 10 lths old, was taken by Mrs w A Perry,
q. Mrs B b Edwards took the premium
OIL the finest baby over twelve months and
uuIsr twenty four m Dnths old.
Ths fair closed in a highly satisfactory
manner, and will long be remembered.

USEFUL INFORMATION.

To make Scotch tweed imperViOus to
water, use this recipe: 10 a bucket of
soft water put a half pound of sugar of
lead and half pound of powdered alum.
Stir this at intervals until it becomes
clear; pour it off into another bucket aud
put the garment therein, let it remain for
twenty-four hours, and then hang it up
without wringing.
Peach leaves, bruised, it is said, are a
specific for wounds made by nails, in
man or beast, or for any fresh cut. Lock
jaw is prevented by bandaging the leaves
on twice day.
Paper can be made to stick to walls
that have been whitewashed, by dissolv-
ing glue in good strong vinegar and wash
them with the solution. Heat until the
glue is dissolved, and then apply with a
brush.
The bark of hickory placed wherever
red ants abound, will cause them to dis
appear. We know that common lard on
plate, set where the places are infested,
as soon as they come in contact with the
lard, they stick and die.
Small bars of carbolic soap are better
to keep away moths than camphOr, at
one-third the cost. 1t is much stronger
in the exhalation thrown of, and retains
its status longer. Try it.
Oil your door locks and latches once in
two or three months. 1t will add to your
comfort, and will make these necessary
things less longer.
Your cellar should be whitewashed
once year, and have a thorough cleans
ing two or three times year. Let it be
ventilated daily unless there are open win
dows, and even then it will add to its
purity.
Remove the sprouts from your potatoes
and keep them in the dark. They should
be always covered. Well KEEP, oil potatoes
should be eaten in July. They are much
wholesomer than the half-grOwn new
ones, selling at so high a rate.-Ger-

SEEDING CORN LAND TO CLOVER
AND GRASS.

DR.. Daniel Lee, of Knox county,
Tenn, gives, in the Country Gentleman,
his experience in sowing clover and grass
seeds among corn, at the last working of
the crop, with a view to grazing and
other purposes. He says:
Living in a corn-growing region, and
having land subject to wash between rows
of corn, and years after, if not leveled
and seeded, | have often soWn clover
seed, timothy, orchard grass and herds
grass seed, in standing corn, when Clay
ing it by" with satisfactory results.
Where one wishes to raise mules or hogs,
corn and clover work well in rotation !;
although | give hogs pretty long run in
oathelds from clover, before they come
to corn. Rightly handled, clover, oats
and corn make cheap bacon, and not ex-
pensivc mules and horses, on fair lime
stone land.
Before clover or grass seed is sown in
standing corn, the ground should be har-
rOwed, or worked smooth with a cultiva-
tor, that the seed may fall on freshly
stirred earth, so that the first rain will
cover it sufficiently. In this way l have
never failed to get fair set Sometimes,
however, a drOuth in August or later will
kill the young plants; although the shade
of a good crop of corn is, perhaps, equal
to that made by wheat or oats as pro-
lection from solar influence, to young
clover. The advantage of resting cult
waited fields in clover and grass as much
as practicable, are not sufficiently appre-
ciated. Ii is too common in Tennessee to
rest land in weeds, sedge, briars and
bushes, that will support good clover and
orchard grass, and most profitable farm
stock. By cultivating corn fields LeUGL
and seeding them before the corn is ripe,
we prevent washing, and use our land to
the best advantage for our limited labor
Canada peas sown with oats, help TO make
fat hogs on little corn.
