DR.. TUFTS Hair DYE is Harmless.

A FIRE AND FIGuT.-Last week, the
storehousc of Mr.. Jerry McClairon thcswest
side of the Watcrce river, was destroyed with,
its contents, by fire. Itseems that diver
sity of opinion exists as to whether the fire
was inccudary or not. Mr. McClair's clerk
as we learn, was in the store with a torch
lust before the fire was discovered, but he
thinks it did not catch from that. 1t is prob
able however, thst this was the cause.
At Mr.. McClair's place, or the same day
a eolored man cut another very severely witt
his knife, in two places on the arm, one O
which cuts was about four inches i'll length
and severed the muscles.

what a Heavy Sod VIII Do.

The american Agric,At,wiSt says the sod
makes the corn. This may be taken as an
axiom, as undoubted that a straight line Is
the shortest distance between two points.
If the sod is right the corn can take care
of itself. What is wanted is mass of
roots. filling the soil to the depth OF three,
four. or five inches or more, and such
mat of vegetation on the surface as will in
evitably belong to such a mass OF roots.
Now, what such an amount of vegetable
matter easily decomposed, and such as corn
loves to live upon, would measure, can
easily be estimated. 1t would be within
bounds to say that there would be on every
square rod of ground ninety-nine cubic
feet of matter equal in fertilizing power to
average barn-yard manure. This is over
three-quarters of cord per square rod; and
100 rods going to make up an acre, there
would be over 100 cords of manure to the
acre. This amount of barn yard manure
would seem perfectly bewildered to far
mer, and would be beyond the power of
many to haul out and spread. And here
it is on the spot, in the most perfect shape
possible to be utilized. Does it, then, need
any further argument to show clearly that
heavy sod is the best, cheapest and most
economical manure farmer can procure or
invent? The vexed question Ofwhether one
should plow deep or shallow for corn, here
gets satisfactory and simple reply. With
such sod, or any sod, we may say, one
must pillow sufficiently deep to get enough
| loose soil on the top to allow the harrow to
work and make seed-bed. No more, no
| less. Tennessee Agric1tlttr0tjStS.

Corn planting aud Growing.

A correspondent of the Farmers Union
offers few words on the subject of corn
planting and growing, and as the time is
at hand for farmers to lay out their plans
for the forthcoming corn crop, we transfer
his ideas to our columns. he says:
In raising corn the crop should be put
into the ground not only for his own profit,
but also with view to future crops that
the farmer may desire to raise afterward:
/ would recommend to lay off the ground
for planting, at least four feet and half
the north or south way, so that the sun
may have a fair chance, which is the best
Moderator that can possibly be found,
when the conditions are right for Its con-
genial influence The east and west way
| would lay out about two and nall or
three feet, and let remain in the hill two
stalks only. / would recommend that
planting should be done earlier in the sea-
son, by about eight or ten days, than the
majority of the farmers are in the habit of
doing in this vicinity. | have noticed
that as general thing early planting has
produced the best results by far.
Before planting be sure that your seed
is good, for if it is not, you will be likely
not only to lose your crop, but your ground
will be neglected and your future crop VIII
be affected by the neglect.
1t is certain fact that working land and
exposing it to the elements produces what
I call a chemical action, which is bene-
fetal to its producing qualities, and every
| time it is stirred produces new action. L
don't believe it will have so good an effect
| to stir it too often neither must it be too
long after it has been stirred. AS gen
eral rule, it should be gone through with
| lust the day before the weeds make their
appearance at the surface. l have often
| heard farmers say, My corn is perfectly
clean; it is not necessary to go through
| it.n ALI understand, not necessary, in
order to kill the weeds, but should there
not be a weed grow through the whole
season, you would not go through it at all
| suppose. Not 50, however. Go through
it Just as often, not necessarily to work
deep, but the shallower the better, if it il
clean. Plow deep and work shallow ant
often, is the rule. Should recommend tina
the rows be marked very plain, SO tina
thew can be gone through with by tn.
time the corn is fairly out of the ground
then the weeds will be out of the way TO
the season. Don't neglect this last sug
gestion. Observe the foregoing, and M.
word for it, if any one i'll the neighborhoo'
has good corn, you will be the man, AM
YOUR land will be improved also.
