Regardless of expense
And let rs haste 90 reach our pew
Before they DO coumence.
Dearest, put ON your pIzson-tail,
And bring the prayer-books TOO,
You know cannot pray without,
In fact, never do.

Although argued much,
To prove your soul In jeopardy
From Satan's awful clutch.

To see stranger in our pew

Indeed, felt quite happy,

NO, dear, can't remember well
What the discourse was about.
But know that was thinking,
When he spoke of the judgment day, /.
And the meeting of the Christian host,
All in their bright array,
When am marching with the saints,
All like band of brothers,
How sad win be the certainty
That you are with the others.

Well we'll have to do without.

Our Reduced Rates.

THE WEEKLY CLARION at two dollars, and
THE SEhI-WEEKLY CLARION at four dollars
per year, is certainly as low as newspapers
can be published in this latitude; and a
very liberal subscription list, witha rigid
adherence to the cash system, can alone
justify the publishers at such rates. In
opening new set of books with the new
year, we have dropped the names of about
eight hundred who are either in arrears for
the paper, or have rot seen proper to renew.
We hope to have the pleasure of re-enter-
ing each name. If not, we have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that there are yet host who
prize THE CLARION sufficiently to advance
the moderate subscription price. In future,
the paper will be discontinued when time
paid for expires. Our readers who fail or
decline to comply with oar terms, must not
take exception when they miss THE CLARI-
ON at their post Office. just before time ex-
pires the usual X mark will be found on

Plant Irish Potatoes.

Yes, plant great many, they will come
Just in time when the sweet potatoes by
most families are used up. Impress it
also on the minds of the freedman to fol-
low your example, and that it is better
for him to have Irish potatoes during the
summer to partly subsist on, than to go
to the store and buy provisions at ruinous
prices. Irish pototoes are healthy food
and save both meat and corn. | have
seen thousands of families subsisting on
the potato during the whole year, and be
strong to do all kind of hard work, and
the people were very healthy.
In selecting the seed / prefer the
g Early Rose" They are the surest,
yield more than other kinds and are more
palatable.
In preparing the ground for potatoes, I
break it up deep and subsol it. If I
have plenty short, well-rotted manure, I
spread it broadcast before breaking up
and plow it under. IF my manure is
not well rotted and consists partly of
straw, leaves, pine-straw, etc., put it on
the potatoes In the row.
After breaking and subsoiling, har-
row the ground well, and then lay off the
rows three and half to four feet apart,
by running a flrrow about six inches
deep, and plant the potatoes about eigh-
teen inches apart in the rows.
7 The culture is very simple, but must
be done in time. As soon as the plants
are all up, the ground ought to be Stirred,
either with cultivator or in small
patch with the hoe. When the plants
have reached seven to eight inches, they
ought to be hoed again and TILED well.
This Is the last work and ought to be
done with care. The ridges ought to be
made large enouge, so that no growing
tubers are ever exposed to the light.

FEEDING Cows AT MILKING TIME.-It is
the habit of many persons, especially if
they keep but one or two cows, to take,
morning and night, into the barn, pailful
of moist feed at the same time they do the
empty milk pail. Others bring a basket of
ears of corn from the crib, while a still
greater number pitch down and lay before
the COW a fork full of hay preparatory to
milking. The object In all these cases is
the same. They give the COW something
that will keep her"in good humor while she
is being milked. This fodder is the basis of
compromise, in which it is agreed that the
cow shall keep her legs and tail still while
she is being milked, but shall be at entire
liberty to exercise with her nose as much as
she pleases. 1t is a bargain in which the
mixer agrees to give the COW pail of warm
food, or its equivalent, in exchange for
pail of warm milk. You agree to give up
to her certain amount of food that right
fully should go into the hog trough or the
horses feed box, provided she will give
down an extra quantity of her coveted
secretion.
The habit of feeding cows while they are
eDeing MIXED is bad one, in many respects.
Giving cows an extra feeding at milking
time in order to induce them to submit
quietly to the operaGon, Is very much like
bribing children with an extra doughnut or
stick of candy to go to bed without cry
ing. Discontinue the practice for a siugle
time. and you will seefhe result: the cow
that was coaxed into gentleness is now rest
less, cross, and inclined to hold up her milk
and kick up her heels. The truth is she is
not going TO be MIXED in Quietness unless
she is paid for it. Let the cow contract the
habit of being fed at milking time, and it
VIII ne found about as hard to break off "a
y E tne naoit of using tobacco by the owner.
one VIII expect this extra allowance as
month of February,
COWS are not so famous for their sagacity
as are horses; but it is certain that they win
learn to take the advantage of the mixer in
getSing an increase of their allowance of
contract habits that win give the milker
great trouble. A COW that has been accus-
toned to be fed at milking time during
early life, win be milked with difficulty ever
afterwards If denied her usual rations
hence the Importance of keeping them from
acquiring this habit while young.

DURANT, MISS, Dec. IL, 1870.
We, the undersigned, residents Of Durant

mending to our friends and the planting COM
munity generally, the
Golden Prolific Cotton Seed!
We believe this seed to be superior to the
"Dixon" or any other seed we know Of
We also cheerfully bear testimony TO the
fact that our friend, John G. Davis, made nine
bales of cotton from Golden Prolific seed, on
seven acres of land, and that land not the best
by any means. The chief points Of excellence
Of the GOLDEN PROLIFIC COTTON SEED
are
First-The foliageis smaller, making it best
for bottom lands.
Second-The seed are fully one-third small
er, consequently more lint.
Third--fhe staple is much finer and longer.
Fourth-The yield is fully double that Of
any other cotton.
We eheerfully recommend the seed offered
for sale by John b. Davis, and parties order
genuine seed, and be fairly and honestly
dealt with.
