The Andrew County Republican. [volume] (Savannah, Mo.) 1871-1876, 1872-01-17

The ECLr Era affects to be very jubi-
liant owe: an article which appeared in
last weeks REPUBLICAN, concerning
the condition )faaairs in South Caro-
lima. At this we are not surprised. a.
the scnsibilitics oftEat paper have be-
come so dulIcd by indiscriminatc
personal abuse, and unjust vitupcra-
rion,that it probably cannot perceive the
difference between a wholesome crit
cism by II newspaper Of the acts Of the
party to which it belongs, and the pet
tx abuse, and defamation Of private
character carried on by the New Era
against all who choose to differ from it
politically. Concerning that article
however if the New Err wants to con
vince Us that instead Of being so stupid
it could not understand Us. il was rcck-
less enough to misrcprcscnt us, il is at
liberty to do so. We are willing to ac-
crpt as characteristic any stupid or rccF-
less aspect in which that journal may
place itself.
If there is a ".ring" in Savannah seek
ing TO get the entire control of the Re
publican. as the NeW Era asserts, they
have not yet informed us of their de-
sign. Concerning the movements and
workings of "rings," and their designs,
the NeW Era is however good authoitv.

Ants IN Brazil.

A correspondent of the Boston Globe
writing from Brazil, says thore are a
species of ants in that country whose visits
are very mu,h to be dreaded, for they
come in countless numbers, frequently
taking possession and overluning IA dwell
ing, Wien IN their track, driving the in.
mates thereIrom, and destroying every
thing eatable on the premises. When
seen approaching they can only he turned
by fire they will succeed in passing every
other barrier. On ascending the Corco-
yardo we discovered a colony Of them
crossing the roadway high up on the
mountains. They were coming from
above, crossing the road, and descending
on the other side. They came in column
three or four inches wide as thick AS they
could 10 packed and rushing along with
great rapidity. How long they Lad been
passing before we saw them is Of course
unknown, but four hours later the stream
was unabated and seemingly inexhaust.
lille. We found it impossible 10 break
the line without It's being reformed. They
seemed to know by instinct the direction
taken by those passed and never devlated
in the slightest from the proper route. The
attempt was also attended with some in
convenience, if grea, care was not taken,
for the stream never stopped; it kept pour
ing down, and in a very short time you
found yourself surrounded, and in sumo
danger of beng overrun if not captured
yourself 1t is said they will remove the
flesh from the carcass of an OK or horse in
q few hours, leaving the bones perfectly
polished.

Lightning on the hounlain Top.

G'ay's peak is the homo Of the thun-
der. The lightning knows it as the
eagle knows his nest. Being the high
est of all peaks of the Sierr, it attracts
the clouds, which almost daily gather
round its head and burst upon it, SO
that sometimes it tries the nerves of
the boldest to run the gauntlet of these
storms. At such times the whole
mountain seems charged with electric
ity. Several who have been caught
there at such moment told me how
1t shot through them like needles it
buzzed about their heads like bees
they could hear it whistling like gale
through the rigging of n ship. The
guides, being moro accustomed to such
things, are less terrified, but tourists
are sometimes paralyzed with terror,
if not with the shock, and fall to the
ground unable to move. Even the
guides sometimes think it is matter
of prudence to throw themselves fiat
upon their faces, not to pres emf APPOINT
for the lightning to strike. The poor
brutes, taught by dumb instinct, turn
their heads from the storm and let it
beat. If party were caught on the
summit III q long snow storm, 1T is
rrobablH that they would perish. In
the binding drifts, it would be impos-
sible to find the path, and no mortal
strength could hold ont for many hours.
Such accidents do not occur, because
the guides are on their watch when
they see the storm coming up, they
bid all run for their lives They fly
with speed, and come down often
trembling and afraid, as if, like Moses,
they had Keen up in the mount, into
the cloud, and had seen the awful pow
or of God

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
To Have Good Hay Crops.

The question is how to get good crops
Of grass and hay, and this question was
touched upon in the discussion upon this
subject az the last meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture of Massachusetts,,
when Mr.. Johnson said:
The first thing farmer must do in or
der to increase his hay crop is to look to
his manure. We cannot prepare the
ground for seed properly unless the ma
nure lieapi is properly cared for. That is
the first thing. Then ii is important that
we should pillow our ground properly, that
1t NAV be in suitable condition to receive
the manure and seed. If the ground is
not plowed to the depth of seven or eight
inches, possibly nihe, we cannot geta sur
face GUILTY. ton So thorough that the roots
will not be liable TO dry up. We cannot
get mould enough, to use that term, by
shallow plowing.to insure our crep against
the dry seasons. And il is also essential,
as every farmer we'll knows, that we
should have proper quantity Of manure,
in order that the sod may have plenty of
food, and that we may have paying
crop of grass. 1t does not pay to NOW
ground where we do not get more than
ten or fifteen hundred pounds to an acre,
high as labor is now. | should say that
on most soils about fourteen cords of com
post manure should be applied to the
acre in planting the ordinary farm crops
preparatory to planting our grass lands.
Manure is the secret of success, and
without manure we might as well give it
up, for we cannot expect to make much
headway.

ippi, Mr.. Wright seys:
1.-The Cooley corn received from the
Department WAS planted March Stn and
March 25th, on land of moderate strength
with a slight broadcasting of ashes, plas-
ter and superphosphate. 1t Welded "a
choice number of roasting ears by the 10th
of June, growing about as early as the
early garden varieties. The ears were of
good size and handsome, and the yield
very heavy, many stalks bearing three and
in some cases four ears OF corn Planted
nearly a month after the Peabody Proli-
tic, it was in roasting ear ten or twelve
days in advance ofthIt variety. We had
some fine varieties of corn from Kansas
and some OF the kinds usually planted
here, but the Cooley was superior to
any OF them, except the Peabody con-
corning my experiments with which |
submit ii memorandum.
Mr.. Wright states that he planted small
quantities OF corn received from Mr.
Chules A. Peabody, of Augusta, Ga. on
the 10th and Both Of February of the
present year. 1t Was III roasting ear
about June Goth, giving an unusual
yield although not cultivated with any
considerable care Suckers shoot from
the base to the number of two, three, and
sometimes four, growing in rich land
nearly to the size OF the parent stock, and
bearing ears, so that there is sometimes a
product of nine or ten ears to the single
gram. The growth is very fbrous, yield
ing a large amount Of fodder. 1t is
thought by Mr. Wright that, with proper
cultivation, it might yield, on Mississippi
fields, as high as one hundred bushels per
acre.
Cooley corn has succeeded well in
Florida. Mr. j. d. Wolfe, of Pensscol.,
says that he marketed his product two
weeks in advance Of all other corn, and
tn for early maturity and productive
ness it is unrivaled in that section. On
one sixth Of an acre, although the season
was uptavorable, he raised one hundred
and ten oo2en ears of good size which oct
ted in market 1915, or at the rate Of
Sl4s.5O per acre, Mr.. w. planted bis corn
at different times, with refer ence to having
roastll ears until the irosts in November
uaying planted peas between the rows,
he would have, in addition to his corn and
pea product, confodder and forage at the
rate oc two tons to the acre, the ground
being cleared in time for a crop Of turnips,
ready for market in January.-Agr'cuitur-

DR.. Hall says the best medicines in
the world, more efficient in the cure of
disease than all the potencjes of the
materia-medica, are warmth, cleanli-
ness and pure air. Some persons
make 1t a virtue to brave disease. to
keep up as long as they can move a
foot or crook finger, and it sometimes
succeeds but in others the lowers of
life are thereby so com 'letely exhaust
ed that the system has lost ability to
recuperale and slow and typhoid fever
sets in, and carries the patient to a
premature grave. Whenever walking
or work Is an effort, a warm bed AM a
cool room are the first indispensable
steps to sure and speedy recovery
Instinct leads AL beasts and Dir Is to
quietude and rest the very moment
disease or wounds assail the system.
