Use of Sulphur in Nests

The powdered sulphur sold by drug
gists is cheap preventive of parasites
upon young chickens. After a hen has
been setting till well established, sprin-
kle,a small handful upon her eggs when
she is off, and upon every part of the
nest and for little distance all around it.
Then when size goes on disturb her just
enough to make her bristle her feathers,
and then dust another handful down to
the skin upon her head, neck and every
part of the body not in contact with the
nest, and DO not omit to put a pinch I'M
der each wing. Then when the chick
ems are hatched there will be no YER
min whatever to leave the hen and
gather upon the young, as is frequent
ly the case when no precautions are
taken One thorough application such
as we have described will suffice Rural

PLANTING POTATOES.

DIR. Hexamer, Of y. Y, gives result
of an experiment of planting potatoes in
seventeen different ways, and found the
best results were given from one large
potato, whole, in each hill the next best
from two large half potatoes, cut length
wise; next from medium sized potatoe
planted whole; the smallest from small
half potatoes. \ medium potatoe he
plants whole large ones cut in half and
the largest in four pieces, each length
wise, always taking care to select lis
best and soundest potatoes for seed.
j. 7. Warder, Of Ohio, in an expert
rnent with llarrisons, found that large
seed cut in halves give the most saleable
potatoes. He says: This experiment.
in connection with one made last year,
induce me to cut good sized potatoes for
seed in preference to planting them
whole and in years of scarcity to use
small potatoes with care not to plant
them toe closely together

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
WHAT A HEAVY SOD WILL DO.

The sod makes the corn. This may be
taken as an axiom, as undoubted as that
straight line is the shorest distance be-
tween two points. If the sod is right
the corn can take care of itself What
is wanted il a mass of roots, filling the
soil to the depth of three, four, or five
inches or more, and such mat Of vege-
belong. to such a mass of roots. Now,
what ;uch an amount Of vegetable mat
teF, e~:ily decompo=ed, and such as corr
loves to feed upon, would measure, can
very easily be estimated 1t would GER
'ainIy be within bounds to say that there
would be on every square rod of ground
90 cubic feet of matter equal in ferliliz-
ing power to average barn yard manure.
This is over three quarters of a cord per
square rod and lG0 rods going to make
up an acre, there would be over l20 cords
of manure to The acre This amount of
barn yard manure would seem perfectly
bcwildering TO farmer, and would be
ieyond the power Of many tc haul out
and spread. and Lere it is, en- tie spot,
in the most perfect shape possible to
be utilized. Does it then need any fur
ther argument to show clearly that a
heavy sod is the best, cheapest, and mos.
easily handled manure farmer can pro
cure Or invent? The vexed question of
whe her one should p!ow deep or shallow
for corn, here gets a satisfactory and sim.
Ply reply. With such a sod or any sod, /
We may say, one must p!Jw sufficiently
deep to get enough loose soil on the top
te allow the harrow to work and make a
reed bed. No more, 10 less. Ii our
rod Is such one as we lately saw cut
from a pasture on a farm in Eastern
l'ennsy lvania, the plow must necessarily
90 seven or eight inches beneath the sur
face before enough soil can be obtained
rcwiih to make a seed bed The
average crop on this farm is over 100
bushels of s!iclled corn per acre And
the secret, if there is any, is in this sod.
Why sloGld it be doubted ? 1t is sin
|'le example in proportion as sod is to
'od, so is corn to corn. And by this we
nay learn what a heavy sod will do

AN UNFORqUNATE TEST.

With Mr.. johnson the present canvass
is purely personal. He seeks an endorse
ment of his past course at the hands of
TenDesseeans. The misery is that such an
endorsement cannot be attempted without
q review of his course, and thus he forces
all the dead issues of very dead pasta
past impossible of repetition-into the
arena of an important and critical national
campaign. His appeal for an endorsement
tends directly to evoke all the ghosts that
slumber in the bloody chasm, and thus his
candidacy at this juncture is against the
very spirit of the Liberal Republican move.
If be had been the Democratic nominee,
it would have been different; he would
then have represented the living Democ-
rscy, aud his canvass would not have been
narrow personal one.
In conducting the canvass, Mr.. johnson
is equally unfortunate. BE might content
himself with general Endorsement of his
general course, without defending each par
ticular act in bis record and assuming a
continuous infsllibility of conduct that
would be simply superhuman. We con-
ceive that he would strengthen his personal
cause if he did not thus demand from Ten
nesseeaus an indiscriminate endorsement
of every deed be has ever done. There
are many incidents in his record of dubi-
Gus nature, which wise man would remit
to the judgment of impartial posterity.
But Mr.. johnson demands impsratiyely
that We shall swallow all.
Demanding thus from the people of this
State a wholesale endorsement of his war
record, the verdict can have no bearing on
his Unionism per Sc. This distinction should
be borne in mind. Many men endorse bis
Unionism who stumble at this or that or
the other incident N his checkered career.
Native Tennessee Unionists are here, who
at the time condemned many features Of
his Military Governorship. A cause is not
to be COMPOUNDED with the deeds ofits adhe-
rents Unfortunately. The verdict of the
people of Tennessee refusing him carte
blanche certificate OF good behavior, is a
purely personal matter, as he has made
such-and is no more condemnation of
his Unionism than it is condemnation Of
his ante-bellum Democracy. Our vote for
Greeley and Brown will be an ample proof
of our Unionism. They do not demand q
personal endorsement of their whole ca
reer. They ask us to take them for what
they are now; not for what they were ten
years ago.

Cur ticket Is now complete. Eet every
man go to work to see that full vote is
polled, and certain and complete triumph
awaits US. It Is now evident that there is
not an aineependente or boiler that stands
any chance of election. For Congress at
large the raca Is clearly between chssthsm,
aud Maynard. Maynard IN this canvass
has pursued willy and seductive policy
He las made able, plausible, concilistory
speeches. He has encouraged at one time
the friends Of Cheatham, and at another
the friends of johnson. Until the people
discovered that the Bonner, Colysr, Judge
Snckelford and the other disorganizers
were using Mr.. johnson, not to benefit De-
mocracy or the Democratic party, but only,
to bresk up and defeat the Democratic party
there was great danger that Mr.. johnson
would receive votes enough to defeat Cheat
ham and elect MAYNARD. That danger is
now past. The trick of the disorgsnizers
is plain and palpable, and the people are de-
termined to beat Maynard with the regular
Democratic nominee, and thus save the
party, even if it should give ofense to the
Banner, Col. Colyar and Judge Shsckel-
ford. The independent johnson candidate
in the Second district, Col. Garrett, has no
chance for election, and yet his running
jeopardizes the election of Caldwell, the
Democratic nominee, aud renders probable
the election Of Thornburgh, the Radical
candidate. In this district and in the Mem
phis district, the 'sindependent" johnson
candidates have no reasonable hope of cleo
ton, but encouraged by the stand which
Mr.. johnson has taken to disorganize, they
keep on in the race. Neither Mr.. johnson
nor either of his aids-de-csmp can be elect
ed. Let the Democracy rally and vote the
nominated ticket, and Radicalism will again
be defeated.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-10-18

THE Cincinnati Commercial says: sit
is not difficult to demonstrate that there is
8 reasonable chance for the election Of
Greeley-starting on the basis of III cleo
toral votes ia the South, or, as Mr.. Greeley
himself says, 12S votes" Our Liberal Re-
publican friends seem to expect united
South, although The Nashville Banner holds
to the paradox that a united South is sui
eide. The Commercial says further, in
summing up an elaborate editorial on the
situation, that Organization. and work are
the things needed to get out the voters"
That is just what the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN has been saying from the start. But
the Banner decries and ridicules organiza-
ton. Such is the grand difference between
our Tennessee independents" and the
Liberal Republicans. 1t is the Democracy
alone that stand in line, shoulder to shoul-
dss with The Northern Liberals, for the
cation of Greeley and Brown.

Now that the Grant party have made all
the capital they can against Mr.. Greeley
out Of their charge that be entertains and
has expressed secession sentiments, it is
refreshing to find the Chairman Of their
delegation to the Philadelphia Convention
that nominated Grant, writing such letter
as that herewith given. Mr.. W. o. Spen-
csrs Of Lakeport, N. Y, had addressed Mr..
Gerrit Smith a letter, saying that there
were thousands Of Republicans who be-
lieved that Jefferson Davis escaped trail
tors fate because Mr.. Greeley and Mi.
Gerrit Smith united in signing his bail bond,
and asking him whether jefferson Davis
could have been legitimately and properly
tried for treason. Mr.. Smith replies:
PETERBoso, Sept. u, 1872.-W. O.
Spencer, Esc-My Dear Sir: have read
every line OF your thoughtful letter, and
am sorry that my reply to it must be SO
brief. am Is years old, and amongst my
inirmities are falling sight and falling voice.
have always held that the South had
become nation de .fdcto, aud should ha!e
been treated as such, and hence that no
man should have been tried for treason.
Your friend, GERRIT SMITH.
After that it is time for the Grant men to
cease talking about Mr.. Greeley being q
secessionist.

PERSONALISN.

The personal canvass Mr.. johnson has
entered on, has served as nucleus for the
disorganizers. 1t has brought forth crop
of independents" dividing our people to
some extent, and rendering the election of
Radicals dangerously possible. Under such
circumstances, the people of Tennessee
could not afford to endorse Mr.. johnson,
were he as pure as a newborn babe. We
cannot afford to jeopardize our Congress
men. We cannot afford TO let BroWnlow-
ties slip back into the Legislature. We
must stand by our organization. We must
support our ticket from top to toe. Mr..
JoHnson's personal side-issue has been pre-
sented inopportunely and under the most
awkward possible circumstances.
Taken altogether, the ex President has
made very unfortunate test, both for him
self ard the Democratic party.

aPRINCIPLEs, NOT MEN," is the caption
Of a Banner editorial, but it supports Mr..
johnson, who represents neither Democra-
cy, nor Radicalism, no- Liberal RepubIi-
canism, nor any other live issue Of to-day.
Maynard represents Radicalism. Frank
Cheatham represents the Liberal Demo
cratic coalition. We believe it was the
Banners correspondent Oh. Y. R." who
said early in the canvass that Frank Cheat
ham was Liberal by nature and disposi-
ton. But what does Mr.. johnson repre-
sert? Nothing-but Democratic disorgan-
izstion, and the one man power, the per-
sond rule or ruin Of a Napoleon or q
Grant. 1t has not always been so, but
such is Tr. Johnson's candidacy to-day.
Are these the principles of the Banner
