three hundred bushels Of peach seeds
to raise peach plants for bearing pur-

: FLOWERS AS D1s1NFEcrANTs.. PRO.
fessor Mantegazzaha discovered that
ozone is developed by certain odorous
flowers. iA'writer in Nataae states
that most of the strong-smelling veg
table essences, such as mint, cloves,
lavender; lemon, and cherry laurel,
develop averylarge quantity Of ozone
when in contactwith atmospheric oxy-
gen in light. Flowers destitute OF
perfume do not develope it, and gen
orally the amount Of ozone seems TO
be in proportion to the strength Of
the perfume emated, Professor Man
tegazza recommends thatin marshy
districts and in places infested with
noxious exhalations, strong-smellins
flowers shouldsbe planted around the
houses, in order that the ozone emit
ted from te:em may exert it's powerful
oxizing influence. Sopleasant plan

brious, only requires to be known to

Farmers Should Take Enough
-. Y Sleep.

Said one of the oldest and most
successful farmers in this State, !" /
don't care to have my men get up be-
fore five or half-past FIVE in the morn
ing, and if they go to bed early and
can, sleep soundly,I they will do more
work than if they got up at four or
halfpast four. We,do not believe
in the eight-hour law, but neverthe-
Hess, are fnelinedsto think that asa
general rule, weworK too many hours
ON the farm. The best m an we ever
had osdig bitches seldom wo ked,
when digging by the rod, more that
nine hours a day. sAnds it is so in
ehopmng woodby the cord /; the men
who accomplish the most. work the
fewest hours. They bring alistheir
| brain and muscle into exercise, and
make every blow tell. A slow, plod-
ding Dutchman may turn grind
stone or a fanning-mill better than
an energetic Yankee, but this kind of
! work is. now mostly done by horse
| power and the farmer needs, above
al else, a clear head, with all his
faculties Of mind and muscle light
and active, and under complete con-
troll. Much,Iof course, depends on
temperament, but, as rule, such men
need sound sleep and plenty Of it.
| When a,boy on the farm, we were
told that Napoleon needed only four
hours sleep, and the old nonsense of
"ive hours tor a man, six for wo-
man, and seven for fool, was often
quoted. But the truth is, that Nae
poleon was enabled, in a great meas
lre, to accomplish what be did from

one Of his favorite traveling-carri-
ages, and it was so arranged that he
could lie down at full length, and when
dashing through the country as fast
as eight horses frequently changed,
could carry him, he slept soundly,
and when he arrived at his destina-
ton was aszfresh aas if he had risen
from bed Of down. Let farmers,
and especially farmers boys, have

Gathering Cotton.

A planter, OF Limestone County,
Alabama, communicates the following
to the Huntsville lndepeadent.
Now, ldr. Editor, that, the cotton
crop is cut short, it would be well for
the planter to consider how to turn it
to most profit. The first thing is to
gather it with great care and expedir
ton, for the rains, dews and atmos-
phere injare it every moment after
It opens-it bleachesand washes away
the oils which gloss and strengthen
it, and gives it the rich cream color
which designates good article. From
the time it opens, waste and deterio-
ration begins. Owing to the drought,
the plant is stunted and the bolls so
near the ground that. when it rains,
the clay and dirt is pattered upon
and stains it. And again, it should
be ginned early and with great care.
We should get the best machinery
to separate the lint from the dirt,
without breaking it. 1t is more i'm
portant to do it carefully than rapid7
ly; better to use gins that>do it we'll,
picking two bales per diem, rather
than four. For small crop as this
year, there is abundant labor to save
it, if it can be made available.
Another questions it best to
gather while the weather is good and
ohuse il, and delay ginning, which
may be done in bad weather? This
is owing to the amount, of crop pro!
duced. as general rule but. un-
doubtedly. if it can be ginned as 1t is
gathered; it is most economical, for
several reasons its quality is better
it deteriorates less; it will sell for
more is out of the way; debts are
paid, interest saved. The planter
can sum mp profit and loss, and de-
eide whether to continue the busl-
ness, and if so, has more time to pre-
pare for the next crop. Now, while
every planter knows all this, and is
preparing for it, yet it may be well
to stimulate by timely notice; there
fore, let every resource be brought
intoreduisition to secure labor to gath;
er and save all the cotton made. The
new system will require all our ener-
gies and ingenuity to make available
the only material we have.

Sheen ON a Poor Farm.

Some farmers of our acquaintance
feel an antipathy to sheep, for the
reason that they, /" bite. close" We
consider this their cllief recommen-
dahon. They can only bite close
where the pasture is short, and the
pasture is short only on poor farm.
tA poor farm will necessarily be en-
numbered with brisrs. weeds and
brush, in the fence corners. Under
such conditions, wewould say tod
farmer who has twenty dollars or up
wards in cash Cor credit for it, and
then let hiIn borrow the amount if he
has TO pay one per cent month. for
the use of it, invest it IN as many
ewes, not older than three years, as
YOU can get for that money. Put
them this summer in such q field as
we have described, and give them,
in addition to what they can pick up,
a pint of wheat bran and oatmeal
daily, with free access to water and
salt They will first go for" the
briers and clean them OUT every
portion of that field will be trodden
over and over again, and the weeds
will have no clrance. Fold them on
that field during winter, and carry to
them feed sufficient to keep them
thriving. Get the use of q good buck
in season-Southdown woald be pre-
ferable-and in the spring, if you
have luck (that means if you give
them proper attention and feed reg@-
larly,) you will raise more lambs
than you have ewes. The money
will be more than doubled, and the
wool and manure will pay for their
feed and interest. In the spring you
may put that field in corn, with tie
certainty of getting fifty per cent.

oOking an oEa Hen.

the following directions for serving
up an old hensosthat she shall mani
etest, to mortal palate, all the delica-
cy. and tenderness of youth . Just
cut her up into joints, taking care to
go by the joints SO that you don't get
in any .splinters Of bones. Pick up
all the bits of meat you have in the
house, bones too, if there is any meat
on them, any odd pieces of ham or
bacon. leg or shoulder Of mutton,
and slice of salt pork, and cut a
few slices of fat bacon and some
bread. Take al earthen vessel with
an earthen cover, with a bit Of a
hole in it, the cover, we mean, and
put a layer of bread at the bottom
Of this vessel, then a layer of bacon,
and then fill in with all the scraps
and joints you may have, they must
be sweet and clean Of course, till the
vessel is full. Then fill up the hol-
lows and cracks with water, and tie
down the lid. Put it at night in a
very warm, not hot oven, and let it
stay till morning. Take it out at
your leisure, and put it in q cool
place, and when perfectly cold, you
will eat it with eusto, either for break
fast, luncheon, dinner, or supper, and
you'll find it not only tender, but
juicy and delicately favored, and
highly nutrious. The water that you
put in will have turned into jelly,
and the whole will cut like red
veined marble. There is no way in
the world you can work.np an old.
