SHEEP RAISING.

We are glad to note that an increased
interest has been awakened in our State
in sheep raising. During recent visit
to Bedford County we had the pleasure'Of
examining some of the finest fleeces we
have ever seen. The sheep, which are of
the Cotswold breed, and recently intro
duced into the county by Jacob F. Thomp-
son, of Shelbyville, and Pleasant Lilly,
of Kentucky, are large, well proportional,
with small head, and will yield from ten
to fifteen pounds of wool each, as fine q
gosssmer and with fibre from six to
twelve inches in length. But for the
thousands Of worthless dogs that prowl
about the country, without owners, seek
ing what they may devour, Tennessee
would become one of the greatest wool
growing Stae5 in the Union. The eli
mate and grass yielding hillsidesof Middle
and East Tennessee are especially suited
to sheep, and we hope the day is not very
distant when our legislators may look
more to the advancement of a great in
terest than to the encouragement of the
raising of the most worthless, the most
expensive and the most destructive of al
domestic animals. Sheep and dogs are
incompatible. The encouragement TO the
raising of dogs is a prohibition to tn,
raising of sheep. Both can not be raised
at The same time. Paa"

CELERY.

Away from towns, in the retired por-
tons of the country, it is very seldom
that we meet with the very delightful and
very plentiful winter vegetable whose
name heads this article. 1t is thought by
many to require an unusual amount of
work, and in neigbborhoods where it is
never grown, the impression prevails,
that it is as tender and as difficult to raise
as a hot-house exotic. Nothing is fur
ther from the truth. OF al the yege ia
bles in the garden it is the least costly in
proportion to its excellence. The plants
may be raised in hot-bed, or the seeds
may be sown 10 open ground, in drills,
about the first or second week in April.
The ground should be well prepared,
finely pulverized and the seed covered
one quarter of an inch deep. AS they sre
rather slow in terminating, a slight
sprinkling of the rows every evening
during dry weather will be of advantage.
After they have come up and grown TO
the length of six or eight inches, which
will be about the first or second week in
June, they may be taken up and trans-
planted between rows of early corn, four
inches between plants, during wei
weather, after the land between
the rows has been well prepared
and MANFRED with well rotteC
stable manure or Patapsco Guano. 1t is
better that the rows should run east and
west, as the corn in that case will shade
the young celery plants until they shal
have taken root; but they may be shaded
with plank or bushes for few days sne
wstered until they begin to grow. ont
or two workings after this and the gras
and weeds well Kept out, is ali that is re
quired until the first of September whel
the punches should -be drawn closely &c

The Moving HoteIist,

Acton Young, the great hotel keeper.
was among the distinguished visitors in
the city yesterday. We believe it can be
truthfully said that at some time in his life
he has been the proprietor of hotel in
every city of any consequence in the
United States, besides being the landlord
of every tavern in the country towns of
this and many other States. The Shelby
vile Rescue of recent date says:
We had the pleasure on last Friday
morning of taking by the hand our old
and much esteemed friend Acton Young.
He very unexpectedly dropped in upon us,
with carpet bag in hand, looking the very
picture of good health, and as pleasant as
boquet of sweet scented flowers.
Knowing his natural propensities so
well, to push along, keep moving" we
naturally enough ran to the window (after
congratulations had been gone through
with, J to see if an extra train had not az,
rived, bringing his family and all of hi.
household and kitchen furniture along, fol
the purpose of setting up in the hote
business in this city, for the second or thirC
lime. Bot he informed us that he wa
still located at Memphis, in charge of tn,

that the punches be drawn closely togeth-
er or it will take what is called the 'srust''
and its qaality very much impaired.
Every two weeks, after this, the same
process,should be gone through with until
heavy frosts set In. Then the tops should
be covered with straw. 1t may be used
any time after it is sufficiently blanched.
There is no winter vegetable that is
more highly priced than celery. Its pc
culiar aromatic flavor, crispy, sweet and
tender stalks make it an universal favor
lite. 1t may be eaten simply with salt
raw, or it may be used in soup, sauces,
stews, etc. For dressing fowls it is much
used. Among medical men it is said to
be most powerful sedative to the nerv-
GUS system and to induce healthy action
of the stomach. 1t may be taken, with
IMMUNITY, on the most delicate stomach.
We have raised the largest on rich,
black, loamy land the second year after
it was cleared, without manure, but il
lacked the crispness of that grown on
land well MANFRED. We hope our read
ers who are not raising it will give il one
trial, for we can assure them they would
prefer to give up the tomato or the melon
to parting with the celery. ih0 .y3d

FARM AND GARDEN.
=. AmonEL FAHmLER.


Thomas Walker, near MeAinnvilie,
Tenn, has sent to US bunch of wheat
pulled up on the 14th of this month, in
full bead We have rarely seen a finer
specimen But better and more encour-
aging TO US are the facts stated in con-
nection with it. The piece of land upon
which this wheat grew was seeded to
wheat in the fall of 1867, and produced
in 1855 but four bushels per acre. Mr..
Walker, seeing that soeh farming as that
would he disastrous, determined to start
upon a new course and put the land to-
clover. In the summer of 1879 his sales
from twenty acres of cloves In-hayEasnd
seed, amounted to six hundred and forty
dollars and in the fan he turned
under the stubble with a large
pillow, drawn by three horses, going
to the depth ofssen 1oru twelve in
ches. and sowed in wheat. The land
now is in fine filth and from the specimen
of wheat sent us we should judge that the
yield will fully equal thirty bushels On
q field across the road, on land much in
ferior to this, he made last year twenty
one bushels and ten pounds per acre.
Such farmers as Mr.. Walker are an honor
and blessing to the State. No ghostly
spectre of famine and testitution in
the future can cast reproach upon
such men for destroying the very
means of subsistence by exhausting the
soil Let such men be honored-
they deserve it more than the blood
stained conqueror. They should be
clsssed among the most benefcent and
the most useful, and the most honored of
the race. We rejoice to know there are
many such in our State, and rejoice still
more in the fact that the grand awaken
ing among the farmers is destined to raise
our noble old State from the pit of de-
spondency in which she has been thrown
as much by the apathy and indifference
of her agrieulturists as by the machina
tons of political mountebanks.
We learn that Mr.. Walker is 8 Penn
sylvanian and has moved TO the county Of
Warren since the war. He is regarded
s one of our best citizens, energetic, in
telligent, capable and public spirited. We
know that we but utter the universal
sentiment of our people when we say
that such men viii not only be welcomed
to our State but every advantage giveI
them, either in social or pecuniary poin
of view, to make them contented with
their new homes. Let them come to ou
State by thousands. We will welcome
every one who is willing to work or car
aid US in developing our great natura
wealth.

BONES.

There are lying about the farms and plan
tations Of our State bones enough, if con-
verted into plant-food, to addnearly third
to agricultural products. Ride where you
will through the country, in the woods,
by the roadside, in the narrow glen, down
the deep valley, every where the earth is
marked by the decsying bones of ami
mails. Every horse, COW, sheep or dog
that dies is dragged to the woods, and
after its flesh has been consumed by the
vultures of the sir, the bones lie bleach
ing and gradually decaying, adding moth
ing to the Improvement of the country.
Now this is all wrong. The CARCASS of
every dead animal should be saved and
put in q compost heap and the bones
should be reduced. Bones are rich in
the phosphaies, and every farmer could
add greatly to the fertility Of his soil by
picking up all the bones about his farm
and reducing them. We find the follow
ing cheap method given by correspond
ent'o the Country Gentleman.
s'Take a water tight box or cask of s
suitable size, and in the bottom put a lay
er of ashes, say three inches in depth
then on this layer of bones, and so Oh
alternately until the cask is nearly or quit
full, the last layer of bones being vel
covered with ash ;. then have my fam
ily pour upon lh's, all the urine from tn
house every day and on washing day
pour on quantity of the strong soap
suds.

FATAL VISITATION.
storm and Terrific Lightning =
Child Instantly Killed.
From the Chattanooga Times, Apri

From the Chattanooga Times, April 90
Last night at six o'clock our city was
visited by a storm, accompanied by ter
rife lightning, and for while il seemed
as if the heavens were stream of fire,
while the thunder was incessant. The
dwelling of Mr.. Jones, colored man,
corner of Ninth and Poplar, was struck
by the fluid, and his child, a little girl,
aged three years and one mon h, was in
SANITY killed. The fluid passed down
the chimney and made its exit through
the roof, making the shingles fly
in all directions. A dog housed
under the flour was instantly killed. The
mother was within four feet of the child,
yet received no injury excepting stun
ming blow. This house was struck by
lightning last summer, and the child, now
dead, received serious shock.
Alderman Mulligan was standing few
rods off and felt the fluid burning hil
arm, AID received a severe shock. DR.,
Norris being near at hand, came immedi
ately after the accident examined tht
lAldermsn's arm, and thinks the injurl
will not prove more serious than tenn
porary and slight paralysis. We sincere
ly congratulate the Alderman on his for
Nnate escape.
