Muck and It's Use.

Every one knows what muck is, and the
expression "wet as muck" is as common
as the article itself. Its general material is
vegetable matter which has been accumu-
lating for ages in wet lands, where, unless
in very dry seasons, it is deluged in water.
In some localities we have seen it in near
ly a decomposed state, and so free from
vegetable fibre that an exposure to the at
mOsphere for a short time would reduce it
to a powder. In other cases the vegetable
fibre remains in so good preservation, OW-
ing to the constant moisture that it re-
tains, that time and the action of strong
solvents, like frost, or agents applied for its
ameliOratiOn, become necessary to tit it for
economical uses in husbandry.
Muck in its natural state is highly
charged with acids. This is the natural
result of its constantly lying in cold, stag
nant water. Until this acid is disengaged
it is of but little use for agricultural pur-
pOses-alkali becomes necessary to effect
the object; so we find exposure to the at
mosphere improves it, but two slow to
meet the ready wants of the farmer. Mix
ing ashes or lime more readily accom-
plishes the object, and they are either of
them, whether used in connection with
muck or otherwise, very beneficial to the
soil. Mixed with barnyard manure it is
invaluable for top dressing, the alkaline
qualities setting forth the acid of the muck
and aiding the atmosphere in decompos-
ing the vegetable matter. Coal ashes, i'm
mense quantities of which are now thrown
away, although they possess but a small
amount Of alkaIi, may be thrown in the
muck heap to great advantage as a disin-
tegrating agent. Soapsuds, when they
cannot be made to apply to plants directly,
are excellent for the muck bed.
nnlY
when applied as a top-dressing, from its
speedy action and long continuance. For
tree food there is nothing better. 1t pos
sesses the two fold properties of keeping
the soil open and loose for the young roots,
and furnishes just the food a young tree
| needs. In the garden, for all kinds Ofpur-
| poses, we have never seen its equal. Rad
ishes grow freely, clear and tender when
vines, such as cucumbers and melons, are
planted on it they succeed admirably. In
| short, it is the manure for all crops. What
pity that with its abundance SO much OF
it is allowed to waste away, breeding dis
| ease in our swamps! VIM. BACON.

What the PrOmpter Told Him."

A notable tragedian being engaged to
play Macbeth at country theatre, at the
latest moment the Inan who was to repre-
sent the messenger in the fifth scene of
the last act fell i'll. The prompter, how
ever, was equal to the occasion. He got
hold of Super" an Irishm an, whom
he drilled to repeat the few ill-Omened
lines, and instructed him how to deliver
them. When Macbeth was ready for him,
on went the Irishman, and got bravely
through his task:
GAS 1 did stand my watch upon the hill,
looked toward Birnam, and, anon, methOught
The wood began to move"
"Liar, slave" cried the great tragedian,
flying upon the terrified "super " and
grasping his throat. Down OH his
knees dropped the messenger, gasping in
his agony:
On my sowI, sir, that's exactly what
the prompter towld me to ay."-Er-
change.

Clifton and Knoxville Railroad.

EDITORS CHRONICLE : 1t has been so
long since our citizens have heard the
whistle on this road that they may ere
this have become alarmed about the safety
OF the Clifton and Knoxville train. Give
yourselves no uneaSineSS about it, but hold
the signal flag up for her and she will APP
pear upon the south banks of your river
ahead of time. Since my last communica-
ton upon this subject there has been some
new contracts taken. We consider that
we have about eight miles of the grading
under contract with able and responsible
persons. Some of your readers may be
curious to know how the Jefferson county
Commissioners are going to pay their con-
tractors when the work is done. So far
they have made private contracts with
parties able to do the work without ad-
vancing any money and when the work
is done they have so much confidence in
this line that they agree to take certificates
of stock in the road at par for their money,
material and labor spent
From the way the commission are
pressing this matter forward, we feel
warranted in saying that they will by fall
get the entire length of the road from
Clifton to the Sewer county line, eight
miles west of cambridge, under contract
in the same way, including both grading
and cross-tying. This will make the third
railroad in Jefferson county. 1t has got
to be so common up here that the people
think but little more about building a rail-
road than they do a good dirt one. We
hope our twin sister Sewer" who seems
to think that to stick spade in railroad
will break everybody up, will not hesitate
any longer about the matter, as it is I'M
derstood that the only thing she has been
waiting for was to see if any one was 60
ing to help her. And now help comes
right to her county line. Will She now
help herself? If not, the train may run
off the track here and go by way of Nc
Millan's Station or Caldweli's Iron Mines
and Strawberry Plains.
In our last article we inadvertently left
off the names of the Cooke County Com
missioners. We here give them William
Jack, Thomas German, George Ogden,
Morris Hartsel, w. McSwain and P. An
derson. PRO Bono PUBLICO.
