FARM AND GARDEN.
A SUBJECT FOR GENERALIZATION.

. The event of last week in Knoxville was
the Farmers Convention. 1t was the
first meeting of the kind ever held in Ten
nessee! We may, therefore, regardit as a
new departure of our agricultural classes.
We regard the movement as important
and worthy of special encouragement. 1t
is not so much the information commune
Gated in this single meeting that is of val
ue-though that must prove important
but it is the fact that the farmers of East
Tennessee are at last aroused to
the necessity of organized associa-
ton for the diffusion of information
and for the benefit of cooperation. BUSH
ness men have their Boards of Trade and
Chambers of Commerce; Bankers and
Brokers have their Exchanges Politicians
have their Conventions and Club rooms
Manufacturers have their Leagues and
Workmen have their Unions. Why
should not farmers have their Conven-
tons? The wealth of country is in its
lands. The men who till the soil and pro-
duce are the men who give the foundation
for all speculative or trading pursuits. In
this free land the men who own the
soil work it. The plice of our
happy farm homes, beautiful meadows,
well filled barns and productive acres
is well rewarded labor. England has its
landed estates, its broad acres productive
as gardens, adorned with beautiful parks
and costly homes, but the price of it all is
the squalid novels and starving ignorant
children of English laborers. The man
who has seen the every day life and power
ty of England's farm laborers, can never
find heart to admire its beautiful farms and
costly parks, for he must feel they were
bought with the tears and blood of men
and children defrauded of fair reward for
their long days of toll.
There the land-holders have laws to pro-
tect them in their ascendancy and associa-
tions to promote their interests at the eX-
pense of the producing class. In Ameri-
ca, in East Tennessee, the farmers con-
ventions are made up of the men who own
the soil and work it with their own hands.
They pay the men who aid them to beau
tify our farms and homes a full reward for
their labor They can have conventions,
therefore, that do not mean oppression to
one class in order to promote their own in
terests. Their organizations, therefore,
promote the public interests and are
worthy of the earnest support of all
class To encourage the agricultural
classes is to help build the founda-
ton upon which our whole commercial
interests rest. 1t is work in which the
farmer is primarily interested, but it is
one in the success of which every class of
our people, manufacturers, merchants
bankers-and iCOrkingHlen above all-are
concerned. We therefore hail this new
departure of our farmers as an event Of
importance to all East Tennessee and &
subject for hearty congratulation.

Potash for Potatoes.

In u recent address, DIR. Nichols, of the
Journal of Chemistry, alluded to the de-
terioration in our potato crop during the
past 90 years, and made the following ex-
PLANTATION regarding the causes of this
falling off:
L have field of potatoes upon my farm
which / expect will yield SOC bushes per
acre, which may be regarded as an old
fashioned crop. know that this crop will
remove from the soil in tubers and tops at
least 400 pounds of potash. / am also GER
tain it will remove $50 lbs of phosphoric
acid. Now these amounts are very large,
and serve to show that the potato plant is
great consumer of the two substances
and also, it shows that in order to restore
our potato fields to their former produc-
tive condition, we must supply phosphate
compounds and substances holding potash
in large quantities. For six or eight gen.
erations in New England our farmers
have been exhausting the soil, by remov-
ing these agents in their potato and other
crops and we have reached time when
the vegetables are starving in our fields
for want of their proper food. Our farmers
have found that new land gives the best
crops, aud this is due to the fact that such
fields afford the most potash. But so long
as we crop our pastures SO unreasonably,
we cannot resort to new land, as land is
not new that has had its potash and phos-
phatic elements removed by grazing ami
mails. Remember that a potato field with
but 100 bushels to the acre requires at least
$50 pounds of potash, but by allowing the
tops to decay upon the field, 900 pounds of
this is restored to the soil again, as that
amount is contained in them. A medium
crop of potatoes requires twice as much as
medium crop of wheat, so that in two
years with wheat, the land is deprived of
no more of the agent than it loses in one
year with potatoes.

Poultry Keeping for Women.

There are many women who, especially
within the last half dozen years while the
price of eggs has been so high, make
money much faster by tending poultry
than by sewing. 1t is an occupation espe-
cially suited to women, because it involves
patience and constant attention to details,
rather than strength. Then again the
hardest thing for men to learn, in hand
ling either poultry or bees, is gentleness.
How many times we have seen boys jerk
hens roughly from the nests, enter the
poultry-house abruptly and frighten the
occupants till they rush in q fiuttering
mass into the farthest corner, and keep
the poultry community in constant agita-
ton and distress. But all domestic ami
mails appreciate the manners of women at
PENDANTS when they are fortunate enough
to be cared for by them. Now there are
women gardeners and florists who by COM
mendable industry and business qualities,
have risen to eminence in those callings,
and while one of the most successful, if
| not the most successful bee-keepers in the
whole country is a woman, We hope to see
others give poultry more attention than ii
| has hitherto received. Aside from profit,
the keeping of the fine poultry for fancy is
an elegant pastime very popular with
| English ladies, and we see no reason why
the fashion should not be adopted here

Raspberry Culture.

We are asked in regard to the culture of
the raspberry, why it is just before the
berries fully mature great many seem
TO dry up on one side, while the other
seems comparatively good and sound and
goes on ripening, but of course only pro
ducing an imperfect berry. We give as
reason, and a true one, that the vine lacks
moisture at the roots, either because the
earth is naturally too dry for the raspberry
or it is overrun with grass and weeds that
are extracting the moisture from the soil
that ought to go to nourish the plant. The
raspberry is decidedly a surface feeder, so
that weeds and grass act directly upon tn e
sources of nourishment. 1t is for this
reason that stirring the ground deeply dur
ing the fruiting season is injurious, be-
cause it destroys a great number OF the
fine surface roots, which are the chief feed
ers of the plant. Probably none Of the
small fruits or berries are SO much bene-
fitted by liberal mulching of coarse ma.
nure, straw, leaves or sawdust, as the rasp-
berry. 1t keeps the ground moist at the
surface, and if thick enough will keel
down nearly all the weeds. Next to mulch
ing, a judi cious irrigation, particularly
during the season of the ripening of thu
fruit, will be very certain to insure gooC
crop of sound berries on rich and other
wise suitable soil.--Pdcitic RurGl Press.

Why Animals Need Salt.

Prof. James II. Johnson, of Scotland,
says that half the saline matter of the
blood (75 per cent? consists of common
salt, and as this partly dissolved every day
through the skin and kidneys, the neces-
sity of continued supplies of it to the
healthy body is sufficiently obvious. The
bile also contains soda Zone of the ingre-
dients of salt as special and indispens-
able constituent, and so do all the carti-
lagos of the body. Stint the supply of salt,
and neither will the bile be able to proper
ly assist digestion, nor the cartilages to
be built up again as fast as they naturally
waste. 1t is better to place salt where the
stock can have free access to 1t than to give
il occasionally in small quantities. They
will help themselves to what they need, If
allowed to do so at pleasure, otherwise
when they become salt hungry, they take
more than is wholesome.

Lazy Farmers.

Laziness prevents a man from getting
off his horse 10 put up the first rail that
gets knocked off the fence and through
this lazy neglect q whole field of corn is
seriously damaged.
Laziness keeps man from driving one
nail when one would do, and finally costs
a carpenters bill for expensive repairs.
Laziness allows gate to get off of the
hinges and in the mud, or stand propped
by rails-or stable or barn to leak and
damage hundreds of dollars worth of pro
vender.
Laziness, in short, is the right and prop
er name for nine-tenths of the excuse;
given for bad farming.

To CURE BALKY HoRsE.-When he
stops and refuses to be coaXed to go, on
should first determine by his grit whether
1t can be whipped out of him. If you whip
him, confine him as close as possible by
winding the lines round the hub of the
wagon. Go at him with brush or limb.
Be thorough, or it is Of no use. If that does
not cure him, drive down a stake, put on a
strong halter, check him up and chain
his whiffletree back to the load; take off the
other horse and leave him to consider his
ways without food or drink. When you
think he has repented, take the other
horse back, hitch him on; try him; il he
rebels, leave him until he viii go. In all
cases be very sure not to overtax his
strength with too much load. o. f.. L.

CONSERVATIVE FRIENDs."

There is a class of Union men in our
country, respectable in intelligence and
numbers who believed that no disfran-
chisements and disabilities should have
beer imposed upon the participants in the
rebellion. They argued that such a poll
cy Of reconstruction was political pro-
scription and oppression, totally unworthy
ofAmericsn magnaninity and American
conquerers. They further maintained
that a perfect union could not be, unless
cemehtod by the free will and friendship
Of the entire people, and all restoring
schemes. involving political discrimina-
tfous, would eventuate in the destruction
Of Republican Institutions; that the
SWORD instead of law, must control a rest
less, cbagrined and beaten people who re-
ceivea mo encouragement and kindness
from their ~victors. They, also, asserted
thatthe rebels having failed to destroy
the Government, we're extremely anxious
to regain their forfeited communion and
fellowship, under the Constitution.
The unrescry we'd. concessions, the humill-
ated condition and concealed dissatisfac-
ton of the rebels, to some extent wo ad-
NIT, fortified their arguments with reason
and plausibility.
These Union men left the Republican
party and affiliated with the rebels. Soon
the barriers of discrimination were bro
ken down in the State. and the prescribed
rose to coveted power in q blazing z~ealotry
Of the fercest partisarism and intolerance.
Seated in high places, now Independent of
fayors and assistance and throncd upon a
prostrated loyal sentiment they entered
upon a well studied system of crusades
and prosecutions against all Union men
alike. The friendship and sympathy
Which were a material help.in striking the
shaekles, from their limbs were wholly .ig-
nored, and insult, vituperation and the Vi
olenco which inficts most pain were the
ransom they paid for deliverance. 10y
atty to them is an ineradicable contami-
nation, and no one who has ever had its
virus in his veins has claims upon their
support. Hence prescription exorcism
and all the vile inventions Of partisan
malice. These victims of misplaced con-
fdence and friendship now see the folly
Of their course and are embittered by the
Infamous treacheries with which they have
been treated. Having been driven from
the Democratic ranks or more %truthfully
having left them upon the development of
rebel insincerity and deception they are
returning to the Republican party, the
wiser and purer for their long and unnat-
ural estrangement. We gl&dly welcome
them back, and extend to them the right
band of fellowship. Their Unionism
passed the fiery test of war, and again
comes forth a purer and richer metal from
a scarcely less heated furnace. Stand
firm in, your integrity and see the down
fall of Democracy and the salvation of
the country.

would write to you the substance of his
statement He says his mother who is now
SIXTY YEARS OF AGE had SUFFERED
with CONSUMPTION for SEVERAL YEARS
and has been under the care of ALL OUR
BEST PHYSICIANS. but never received
any permanent benefit !; then she resOrted
to most every kind of Cough and Lung
Balsam that could be procured for her,
BUT ALL TO NO VAIL. She still grew
worse, until she was confined to her bed;
and when she was seized with q paroxiSm
of coughing she would LOSE THE POWER
OF Respiration, and they were COM
PEELED to restore breathing; and while she
coIghed so hard she could not eXpecto-
rate anything, and the family and friends
had given up all hopss of her recovery.
Her son noticed that advertisement of
Aliens Lung Balsam in the Christian Adj
vocate, and they thought they would pro-
cure aud try it. They commenced giving
her the Balsam at D p. M, as directed, a
dose every hour until midnight; then she
took another spell OF coughing and eX-
perforated a mouth full of dark, yellow
matter, which was something she had not
been able to do for some time. They con-
bilucu TO give neT Ile DdlSdul until HlOl Ia

freely, and within two hours she had EX-
PERFORATED THREE PINTS of mucuc

and since that time she has continued to
improve. She now sits up all day, and
can walk about the house and take con-

FEE FISK.

Fisk was a philosophical, a kind
hearted man. The world must acknowl-
edge this. His liberality, like the rain
fall, blest all alike. The needy and suf-
fering were never turned away empty and
unreleived. The poor of New York City
we're especially, the beneieiaries of his
Lo5lc and unstinted bounty. The Prince
of Erie" and a king among men, the ten
derness of his heart always responded to
the appeals of the humbleSt. The colos
sal fortunes. he amassed by bold enter
prise and daring investments, melted a
way in public and private benefactions.-
He carefully guarded against a publicity
ofhis benevolent acts. The world knew
not the humanities that stirred his broad
and generous soul, nor his left hand the
munifcent charities his right was contrib
uting for the cheer and relief of the mis-
cradle and destitute. Such were his vir-
tues and nobility SIS a man. Can the mo-
rality preachers, the pious folks and news
papers that have dragged hyena-like the
corpse Of Fisk from its last resting place
and, in the name Of dcsecrated religion
and morals, mutilated what the bullets of
the assassin left untouched, boast a bright
er and more glorious record of benevolent
deeds? Fisk was a greater benefit to the
world than this whole rowling batch of
self-constituted public censors.
Fisk had his vices, many they were.
but never concealed nor denied They
were as we'll known on the street as in the
private circle of his friends. But whilst
living and enjoying the grandeur and pow
err of wealth, we heard nothing of the
censure and abuse that would now cover
