lmprovemc ntol SOIL.

The American Rural Home says
"There Is n large quantity of arabic
soil which would be improved and
made capable of cheaper cultivation
and the production OF larger crops, if
it could be mixed with earth of diff,
ferent nature. The farmer knows the
defects of his soil. 1t may be a stiff
heavy clay, and he wishes there were
more sand in it it may be the reverse,
and clay the ingredient wanting to
perfect it. However desirable ii would
be to mix soils, the great expense, in
most cases, stands in the way of its
accomplishment; it is only where pc.
cuiar circumstances exist that the work
can be done with profit. Where those
conditions do exist, mixing soils is one
of the most paying improvements the
farmer can make. We sometimes find
in loamy soils where the subsoil is clay,
knobs composed of quite pure and bar
rem sand-a "poor sandy knoll, the
owner terms it, from which he never

tivatlon, unless ii is heavily

the crop which finds little else to assist,
The best improvement on such knobs
is to govern them With clay soil, which
can be usually obtained near by. The
best time to do this is with a crop i'm.
mediately preceding grass, as the clay
helps form thick turf, and thus makes
vegetable matter Just as frequently
do we see clay knobs in lands, mainly
friable and easy of tillage Drought
cuts short the crops on these, and makes
it exceedingly difficult to plough. The
best ingredient for these is muck, but
loamy earth or sand improves them
wonderfully. There are many instances
of this kind where mixing soils would
be practicable, and prove remunerative.
On general scale, we caanot afford
the expense of mixing soils, but occa.
sionally very decided improvement may
be made by bringing up the subsoil
with the plough, and mingllng it with
top soil it may be rich in mineral food
for plants Farmers should examine
their possessions down in the ground,
and see if there are not treasures worth
bringing to the surface"

Nefying n Judge.

A painter. Peter Murdoch, was ar

Yesterday, says the Memphis Avalanche
of the 18th ultimo, upon the charge of
wife-heating. The same man was be-
fore the Squire a few weeks since, when
the Magistrate, upon his promise of
future good behavior, dismissed the
charge. Yesterday, when this was
mentioned to him, he suggested that
the Squire should go to a warmer eli
mate, from whence no man has ever
returned Upon the Squire remon-
strating with him, he again repeated it,
this time using several profane adjec-
tives by way of emphasis.
/ Il will fine you ten dollars for con-
tempt of court, sir, said the good

" Fine ard be d" retorted this pro-

the moral magistrate.

paint singer as he shook his fist within
few inches of the nasal organ of the
magistrate.
In this way it went on until Peter
had been fined forty-three times, when
the daring constable collared him and
marched him off to Jail, with S430

will be required by Peter to hberate
himself from the unpleasant position
which he now occupies. Mrs. Murdoch

4 Human Curiosity.

There is Digger boy employed on
a sheep rancho IN Montery county, Cal,
who is human curiosity. He herds
about 800 sheep all by himself, and the
overseer says he knows every one of
them by sight, and when he brings
them in at night he will get on the cor
raj fence and tell whether one Of them
is missing He is about IA, and has
face as round as the moon, and the
brightest black eyes, which fairly
sparkle with mischief. He turns more
somersaults and hangs head downward
from more trees than any man can count
readily, and seems hardly to be aware
of the existence Of tho sheep during
the day, yet brings them ali IN at
night.

The labor Of unloading ear-corn from
the wagon has been greatly lessened by
an invention, now generally adopted at
the principal corn-buying stations in
Illinois. 1t consists of a platform, from
"A to 30 feet long and from II to l6 feet
wide, and elevated alongside the
corn-crib to the height of the caves of
the crib, say from 10 to II feet. This
platform is supplied with an easy APP
proach Mt one and, and n departure
equally easy at the other. In the mid
die of the platform is a trap door few
inches wider than the whole width of
the wagon, from outside of one wheel
to the outside of the other, and in
length half that of the wagon. box
This trap-door connects with the
corn-crb by shute The load
is, weighed, driven up the APP
proach to the platform, with the hind
wheels as near as may be over the cen
tire of the trap. A light blow of the
foot raises the latch of the trap, and
down goes the hind end of the wagon
(swinglng on It's transom bolt, the fore
wheels remaining in place. to such II
convenient slope that when the patent
end-gate is taken ont, the ears slide
out with roar and rush down the
shute into the crib The team is then
started, the hind-wheels lifting easily
out of the trap, and goes on down the
eXit-and of the gangway. A lever is
moved, the trap resumes it's place, the
latch catches, and the platform is ready
for another load. Formerly 1T was us
ual for the farmer to drive alongside
of the corn crib, and then lift his load
out by means of a scoop-shoyel, always
to a height equal to that of his should
ers, and frequently two feet higher than
his head. Now touch of the foot and
a turn of the wrist does the whole husi-
ness of unloading in tenth OF the time

Life PrpSeryprs.

Rear-Admiral Ryder, Of the British
navy, has recommended the substitu-
tion of mattresses stuffed with granu-
lated cork for those now in use, not
only OH account of their great buoy
ancy, but owing to their economy in
first cost. The suggestion is a good
one, and might be adopted in our own
marine A mattress of this kind, with
II pounds of cork, will float an iron
weight of 60 pounds. They are used
IN the Russian navy, and nearly the
whole Of ships company was recently
saved by their instrumentality after a
collision. Nor do they cost half as
much as horse-hair mattresses.

A Flood in Scotland.

Dispatches from Dundee, Scotland,
give accounts Of devastating food in
the valley of the Iay. The waters of the
FIRTH and the river Tay overlooked
their banks Saturday night, and poured
into the plains on both sides, sweeping
everything before them, from Dundee,
at the mouth OF the Firth, to a point
above Perth, on the south side of the
river Tay, and the head of navigation.
The level country around the latter city
is covered with water, and portions of
Dundee are uninhabitable. The rail-
road between the two cities is washed
away III many places, and much road
bed must be rebuilt. IL Dundee the

to report to the Convention to as
sembIe in Griffin in August next,
upon their respective advantages for
the location Of the Agricultural Col
lege. The Convention will then
recommend the location and it is
thought the Legislature will adopt
the recommendation made.
The inducement offered in the
way Of local and city contributions
may have some weight in determin-
ing the selection, but when it is pro-
posed, in connection with this Col
lege, to re-establish "the GEORGIA
MILITARY INSTITUTE" on a scientific
basis more general and practical
than formerly, it would seem that to
all GeOrgians, the inducement queS-
ton is no longer one of comparison.

VIC are just on the eve of "depart-

tits now agreed generally that
the wisest policy of the democracy
is to await all the other nominations
and then determine whether to risk
its future upon its own strength or
whether it can wisely ally itself to

difficulty in that union, for democrats
to consider, is, whether success will
compensate them for the sacrifices to
