VALUABLE DIscovERY.-I F. Huddleson,
ESQ.,, prominent lawyer and well posted citi-
zen of Purdy, McNairy county, Tenn, informs
us that the people of mis- place, after series OF
careful tests end experiments, have become full.
ly satisfied that the Ailanthus or "Tree OF
Heaven" (aliasafhus glandulosus) is a sure pre-
ventative to murrain in cattle. He says the
cattle commence eating the leaves of the tree
about the time in the season when the murrain
would appear, and that none having access to
it have ever been known to take the disease,
while others all around have been seriously af-
Aicted. AS proof positive, he refers to case
where gentleman living in Purdy had, under
the impression that it injured the milk, stopped
his cattle from feeding them closely penned at
night, and driving them beyond the range of
its growth each morning. AS a consequence,
they all sickened and died of murrain, while
the cattle of his less fastidious neighbors es-
capped.
This thing is we'll worth looking into. It is
said that nothing has been created in vain, but
we have long been of the opinion that an ex-
ception should be made in the case of the ALA
anthus. Now We hope, however, that no ex-
ception will be necessary, and that all people
of good taste will be permitted to view it in the
light of disagreeable medicine rather than
disagreeable MISUNDERSTANDING.

= 1t is stated by a neighborhood paper that
the old Confederate powder works near Augusta,
Georgia, have been 1perchased,b by persons who
intend to put them to their original use in the
manufacture of gunpoTder. The buildings,
which are by far the most extensive in this
country and are said to be surpassed by none
in Che world except the Austrian factory near
Nienns, were lereeted, early in the war by the
Confederate government, and supplied down to
the surrender the greater portion of the eng
munition used in that service. BY an ingeni-
ous arrangement, which admits of the manu-
factnre only in small quantity in any given sub
division of the works, the danger Of explosion
was so limited that, though the works were run
to their fullest capacity, but one accident Of
that kind occurred during the war, and that it
was thought was occasioned by design, 9 negro
employee, as is believed, having introduced q
match in some of the unfinished powder before
it was sent to the mill. The formula for pre-
pairing powder was of peculiar nature, and is
said to have resulted in particularly excellent
article. The property having come into the
possession of the United States government,
the present sale has evidently been by permis-
sion.

EFF0RT AMI, SKILL M FARN1Nq.EWe have
often snakenSofe the Importance and dignity of
farming IS pursuit, and yet, in the face Of che
gfeat advancement that has been made in the
last ten years, there ara too many farmers who
regard themselves as, literally, "toiters," with
ont promise of improvement in the future. We
repeat what we have ofsen said, that farming is
not s profession, but of all professions, in its
practice, it embraces the very widest range of
scientific truth and actual facts, and it cannot
be disputed that in this pursuit we have af-
forded the widest field for the exercise of the
analytic mind. But how few Of those who own
Vast acres will ever pause to inquire into the
iHHnences they start to work, or ask concerning
the causes which lead to such important results.
llsAs at present conducted, there is q large
amount of very difficult labor required to be
performed in farming. There is no excellence
attainabie without effort, and the farmer who
can command the respect of his fellow-men and
confidence of the entire community by the sue
cess he achieves, has just cause of pride. Sci
enee and human skill is required to effect the
results we all desire to zee, and when our farm
ers generally, with higher appreciation of
their capacities, and a truer estimate of the re-
suits they bring about will earnestly labor to
make their pursuit attractive and profitable,
there will be less cause for complaint.
The remark oft quoted is that farming is the
most Independent Of the callings of life This
may be true sometimes, but it is not true in ev-
sLy case. To become really successful in farm
ing, the latest development of science bearing
oWagriculture must be properly estimated
Care, attention, earnestness and industry are
the qualities demanded and we speak of this
now only to impress on the minds of many that
success is attainable only by unremitting exer-
lion. There must be constant desire to i'm
prove, but, unfortunately, too many farmers

How pnI11Na FODDER AFFECTS CORN.

How PULLING FODDER, AFFECTS CORN
In all the Southern States the farmers generally
pull the blades from their corn stalks to be used
as long forage, but in Kentucky it is the habit
of our farmers to cut the stalks with all the
blades and corn on and then dry it for stock.
A farmer in Tennessee has experimental on
pulling the blade and leaving it on, and he
came to the conclusion that when he pulled his
fodder he lost in weight in the corn. Here is
his statement
ssI selected for the purpose piece of rich al
luvial land, which had been in cultivation for
fourteen years without any manure, but subject
to an annual overflow by back-water, and mea-
sured seventy yards square. The corn was
planted on 1st of March, ground ploughed ten
inches Deep rows five feet apart and three feet
in the drilf, hoed and ploughed three times at
ter planting; the fodder of every second row
pulled when ripe, and weighed 2lO pounds when
perfectly cured. The crop was gathered on 22d
September, and produced in all forty-one bush
els and one peck is to say the com from
which the FODDER was pulled, twenty and one
quarter bushels, and that, from which no blades
were taken, twenty-one bushels; but the differ
ence in the weight was still greater, the first
weighing fifty-eight pounds, and the latter six
ty.four pounds per bushel" We find the differ
ence in weight tobe 170lponnds of corn in ia
vor of that from which the fodder was not
pulled. This is just about three bushels OF
good shelled corn gained on the half acre, .by
leaving the blades on the corn against which
offset the 21O pounds of dry fodder. That on
which the blades were left would reasonably
mature and dry more slowly than the other, and
therefore would reasonably weigh more soon at
ter gathering. Again, pulling the blades on
every other row admits the sun and air more
freely, and possibly assisted the alternate rows
on which the blades were not pulled, to be
plumper grain. These minor details affect the
result to some extent, doubtless, but yet the IN
for fodder we lose an equivalent weight of corn.

Central Passenger Station.
THE CENTRAL STAGE OFFICE.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Those OF US whose recollection extends back
to the days OF stage coaches well remember
that with all the drawbacks and discoinfOrts
associated, with those conveyances, there
was ole great convenience, namely, the un-
ion or central stage-office. From whatever
point the traveller might arrive, to whatever
destination he might be bound, there was
this common centre of access and departure.
Here all information was to be got, all ex
changes of parcels made, all distribution of
baggage accomplished. Wherever the stage
proprietor might lodge and feed his drivers
and horses, and house his coaches, at the CEN
trail office the business ole the day began ard
ended. This driving forth and back cost him
many a mile of travel, compelled an earlier
start and harder work for men and teams,
but it was done, and done for the public con-
venience. The stage owner did not consider
whether or not the public might manage to
= find him at his own private caravansary, he
took pains and incurred expense ito put him
self in the centre of concoulse and at the COM
mon point of going and coming.
THE RAILROAD STATIONS OF TO-DAY.
In contrast with all this we find the pro.

public now perform their Journeys, too often
