PLOwING-DEEP AND SHALLOW.

Says a correspondent Long as the plow
has been in use, am satisfied that its pro-
per use and advantageSare little understood,
except in breaking the ground and cultivat-
ing crops. In benefitting the land and in
creasiug its productiveness, we dO,not fully
understand what the plow is capable of do
ing, if used properly. For instance, nv
impressions are that land should never be
| turned over deeply more than once in two
years-pasturage once in three years, and
when turned over, it would be better for
having on it a heavy growth of vegetable
matter to turn under for manurial purposes:
and in the intervening yesrs-between u.s.
ing tie heavy turn plows, it would be best
to break the ground with plows of the sub
sOiling order. The more we expose the soil
by turning it, the more the evaporation Of
ite chemical fertilizing Ingredients must take
place, which will require a larger amount of
manures to be applied, to restore what eva
pOratiOn and plants have exhausted. | be-
lieve the ground should be thoroughly and
deeply broken at least once a year, in some
instances twice, but not so often with large
turning plows; let it be done with pows
that break deep and pulyerize thoroughly
without turning over the land. So well sat
iSfied | am of the correctness of this, that l
never turn over field with large turning
plows but once in two years, and my lands
are heavy, red loan soil, sticky and tena-
cious in character. Under this system of
blowing have seen decided improvement
in the production Of my land, with only
partial manuring. Several agents of the
manufacturers of fertilizers have called on
me, wishing to sell me some. tell them:
"Gentlemen, you are too fast; you have the
cart before the horse. First 90 around to
the farmers and persuade them to purchase
good plows and put their lands in good Or
der, and afterward preach manuring; as for
applying manures to improperly prepared
grounds, we may as well scatter manure on
water sheds, for the good they would do the
land merely skinned with the plow."

BEAUTIFUL SNOW.
From the Turf, Field and Farm


NEW YORK, Feb. Is, 1ST2.-EditOrs
Turf, Field and Farm: In your issue of the
9th inst. there appears a communication
from Mr.. John Rice, of Michigan, regarding
the authorship of beautiful Snow" In
that communication he quotes from the Sy-
racuse Reueille, published some "twenty or
twenty-three years ago." an article claiming
for Dora Shaw the authorship of the poem
in question. As Mr.. Rice has, to my mind,
fully settled Watson's pretensions to the
authorship of beautiful Snow" let me dis
pose of the charge that Dora Shaw was the
authoress. l have had quite an intimate
acquaintance with this talented and accom-
plished actress. Some time in the winter
of 1S65-'S6, she requested the undersigned
to deny, in the most public and emphatic
manner, the authorship of beautiful
Snow" AT the same time she acknowledged
that she was the authoress of "Out in the
Rain" an exquisite poem, full of touching
pathos, and musical, with finished versi-
hcation, and gave me copy of the latter
poem for publication. IL was the uDjusti-
fable SANDERS of such articles as the ReueilLe
quoted by Mr.. Rice-that induced her to
make the denial of authorship, as l have
stated. The gifted and kind-hearted Dora
was above claiming honors belonging to an
other. The laurels she wore she won,
wearing them proudly and defiantly as her
own. B. F. MULLEN.

LARGE CORN AND LARGE YIELD.

There can be no question that the large
! corn, such as is grown on the BrandyWinC
/ hills and other of the strong soils of Chester
/ county, "a, is by far the most productive
( variety Of Indian corn known. We see il
| doubted in various quarters of the country
1 that such crops of corn as we occasionally
raise here, have ever been grown, and yet
there is no more doubt of from one hun
/ dred to one hundred and twenty bushels of
shelled corn per acre having been frequent
! " grown in this section, than
there is of corn being grown at all. 1t
is common to say about these big corn
crops, that acres are measured very large and
bushels very small, but we know personally
of one case where the following sure test
(and there can be no better,) was applied;
The ground was measured by a regular sur
veyor, who made affidavit to its correctness.
The corn was sold in the ear by the barrel,
one barrel being shelled and the one meas
ured. The grower of the corn hauled and
delivered to one party, a grain dealer, and
put the money in his pocket, for 125 bushels
per acre, average over the whole field of, il
we recollect right, some s to acres.
Several crops were raised in Chester
county this past season, of 100 to 100 bush
els shelled corn per acre.
This large-cob corn, of course, has large
number of grains. We have none by us to
count these, but one of our friends lately
counted the grains on a single ear, and
found them 1920. Another found many
OF his ears numbering 1900 grains, meas
ured Is inches in length, and the stalks,o one
foot above the ground, were four inches in
circumference. This is not uncommon. A
fair comparison, showing the productive
ness of the variety, may be made by one
counting the grains on any ear Of the or
10 or y rowed corn, either white or yellow.
We have had sections of corn stalks in
our Office measuring four inches in circum-
fel ence, and we have seen them over six
teen feet nigh. They often bear two large
ears each.-Practicdi Farmer.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL.
To the Editors Of the Union and America

10 the EDITORS OF the Union and American:
In the UNION AND AMERICAN of the Stb
inst, your correspondent, Geo. w. Lomax,
has contributed a very interesting article
relating to recently discovered aboriginal
remains on Duck riXer in Hickman county,
Tenn. 1t is to be hoped that these anti
quities will be further investigated. They
are eminently worthy of extended and sci
entific research. May l inquire Of Mr.. Lo-
max, or his assistant, Mr.. Whitson, whether
the sarcophagus he describes was made of
loose stones in their natural state? or was
the cavity in which the remains were found
heIon from the solid rock? Does that cavity
still bear the marks of the chisel bv which
it was formed or excavated? Was lime
used in the structure of the grave or in the
erection or the walls adjacent 20 or near il?
The wall, the ditch, the fertilization, all
the surroundings deserve a diagram accu-
rately and scientifically made. The stone
on which the inscription, the cross, the let
ters, the figures, are engraved, is probably
portable, and should at once be taken to
the studio Of some savant, and be photo
graphed and most carefully preserved as a
relic of inappreciable value and Importance.
The iron casing around the hand and the
forearm, the breast plate, the bullets and
tho gun are all suggestive; but without fur
Their and more minute description.and anal
ysis, forbear further speculation or con-
lecture. l have theory, but without fur
Their disclosures any hypothesis would be
premature. The date, 1910, is in strict &C
cordance with the time of the invasion of
De Soto. Nor is the name, Bernaldez Di-
az, without Specification. If l recolect
right, the Portuguese gentleman who ac
companied the Ateldanas makes mention
of Diaz.
Is there a museum of antiquities and alb
original relics, either in the archives of the
State or in the collections of the Historical
Society of Tennessee at Nashville?

and sslsuld be carefully considered.
UT,et every PLANTER do his best this year
To raise a large crop; plant all you can and
donit.be afraid Of planting too much; set a
resolution to stay by It and work, and
make everybody about you work. We
must relyupO tobacco; almost everything
else has failed us; tobacco never fails; It's
the planter that fails for want of proper
energy. in the beginning of the year. Don't
be afraid of overstocking the market, there
is no danger. the demand is constantly in
creasing, especially for "ClarksvilIe To
baeco." The farmer who failed to plant a
large crop last year, feels it now. Begin
early, begin now, SOW plenty Of seed, take
good care of the plants, and plant early,
plant largely. Farmers should organize
and cooperate in everything necessary to
this end.
There is too much of a custom among
farmers Of allowing laborers to quit the
farm at any time they see proper, TO attend
to some petty errand, and deducting the
time from their wages. Or if farming on

privilege, and in many cases, owing to the
nature of the contract and their circum-
stances, frequent errands are necessary.
This should not be the case. In the first
place good reliable labor must not be ex-
pected for less than such labor can subSist
upon. All the actual necessaries should
be provided for in the contract, and the
laborer have no occasion to quit the field
during working days. Always
keep something in view to encourage and
stimulate. Give each one blank-bOok and
keep an account Of every item that they
may know at any time how they stand.
Discourage trading and traffiickiDg in worth
less things Keep away from
your plantation loafers, Idle vagabonds, Wis
itors, as they would style themselves, and
you viii do much to destroy Decentralization.
Let farmers covenant with
each other to raise Jamestown weeds for
the fly, and use cobalt en- the bloom for
destruction, and half the labor usual in to-
bacro will be saved.

TOM SCOTT IN NEW ORLEANS,
From the New Orleans T,imos

L AOlu Nllt ENtW OEltdllb lines.
Col. Thomas A. Scott and H. S. Nc.
Comb arrived in our city on Saturday. The
advent of these two distinguished railroad
men, and the large interest they have taken
in our Southwestern roads, very naturally
excites general attention and hopefulness
among our citizens, who begin to
comprehend more clearly than they
ever have done the immense results to
this city of well-directed railroad EN-
terprise. Upon this mainly rests the future
of our city. Mr.. Scott is at present the
largest railroad manager in the world. His
enterprise is coeval with the limits of this
republic, and hardly limited thereby. Eav-
ing occupied and developed the vast resour-
ceS Of the Middle States, he naturally turns
his attention to the great Southwest, which
opens the largest and most promising field
for that sort of enterprise of any other section
Of our country. The hope is a very general
one that Mr.ScOtt will take in charge the great
Southern Pacific, and, by its successful
prosecution, throw into the background the
Northern routes, which pass through far
less eligible country, and by much longer
route than that marked out in the South,
which must start from this city and traverse
the great State Of Texas. Mr.. McComb,
who is associated with Mr.. Scott, resumes
his energetic labors in behalf of the great
Northern road and its various branches.
He will spare no effort or expense to place
that road on the best footing as first class
railroad-worthy of its large patronage and
great importance.

PLANT TOBACCO.
Frnm the Snringfeld Record

As the year 1872 opens up, we are more
s.ncuine of the future than we have been
in the past. In looking around us we find
q lack of currency, and in f5rreting out the
cause of this we are forcibly reminded that
Il IS not altogether owiag to failure ia our
errors of last year, but, in a great degree,
from the fact that we did not have the
MACK to do our duty as producing people.
we find too many of our farmers who plant
too much of other articles to pay that at
sention to those in which is the most profit
and ready sale. We want the planters OF
Robertson county, this year, to do more in

WEATHER curiosities compared with
those of other years are interesting. In
1916, after February and March of I'M
precedented severity, and a big snow storm
on the 10th of April, the weather suddenly
became warm, and on the 14th of April the
temperature, hereabouts rose to St degrees
in the shade. Tbs sleighing that year hung
on from the middle Of February to the 10th
of March. On the night before the 4th of
July, 1859, there was frost: and on the
night of the Fourth people had fires, and
went out to let of their sky-rockets with
overcoats on. In the middle Of June OF
that year there was heavy snow storm
throughout Western New York.
