We were shown yesterday by VIM. S.
Harris, Esq, two punches of the McClorus
White Wheat, grown near McMillan's Sta
ton, which is of fine growth, measuring
two feet in height.
The editor of the Kingston East TenneS-
secdn says that the wheat in West Virginia
and along the line of railroad between
Lynchburg and Knoxville looks promis-
ing and if nothing prevents will afford an
unusually large yield.
A correspondent writing from Pond
Creek, Loudon county, states that the
wheat in that section is fine and looks very
promising, with the exception of few
fields injured by the late cold snap. Oats
look we'll and complaining is about COM
pleted. The fruit crop bids fair and APP
pies, peaches, pears and plums are expect
ed to be very plentiful.
The same correspondent also notices the
arrival of several families of Northern far
mers in that vicinity, who are we'll pleased
with the climate and soil, and say they are
but the fore-runners of others who are
coming.

Cost OF Abusing Mich Cows.

Harry Lewis, the eminent ,(Herkimer
County, New York; dairyman, said lately,
in an address to milk producers, that he
had known a COW which uniformly gave
Is per cent. of cream to her milk, to de
crease her yield to 6 per cent. in the short
space of twelve hours, merely from the ex-
element caused by the bad treatment Of a
brutal mixer. 1t was not guess work, be-
cause he used graduated glasses to test the
matter. This shows pretty conclusively
that il does not pay dairymen to allow
their cows to be i'll treated. And in i'll
treatment is 10 be included anything that
will alarm or excite them-fast driving to
and from pastures, worrying by dogs, yell
ling at them, and threatening demonstra.
tons by boys etc. Civility and good ma
ture pay, even when bestowed upon cows

Household Hints.

In making pies of rhubarb, don't forget
to add q handful of raisins. If you stew
the rhubarb first, and let it stand till cold,
it will not require as much sugar tosweeten
ii.
In making pies, always mix your crust
with pure cold cold water, rubbing just as
little lard into the flour as will do. Make
the undercrust only short enough to cut
easily it is more healthy than when made
rich and short, and the undercrust of pies
are bad enough at best.
For the top crust take the remainder of
your dough on the pie-board, roll very
thin, spread all over with little lard or
butter, then sprinkle on a good bit of flour
all over evenly, so much that you can not
see the butter or lard at all.
Then begin at one side, roll up tightly,
let it lie few minutes, then cut crosswise
of the roll pieces large enough for an up
per crust, tip each pielupon the enc, sprinkle
well with flour, roll out to desirable thick
ness and cover your pie.
When baked, this crust will be white
and flaky, and will break when cut as
Is made which is both economical and
wholesome.
In rolling puff paste, always roll from
you. In making any kind of juicy pies,
have the oven hot by the time the pies
are made, else the lower crust will be
sodden.
In baking bread, pies and cakes, if they
are likely to burn or bake too fast, you
must lay piece of brown paper on them.
To tell if a loaf or a cake is done, thrust a
broom splint down through the thickest
place; if it comes out perfectly clean and
smooth, it is done.

Cause of Debility.

The brain is the fountain of nervous en-
ergy to the whole body, and many indi-
viduals are habitual invalids, without ac-
tually laboring under any ordinary recog-
regular exercise of the nervous system. In
such cases, not only the mind in its feelings
and intellectual capacity suffers debility,
but all the functions of the body partici-
pate in its languor, because all of them
receive a diminished and vitiated supply
Of the nervous stimulus, due share of
which is essential to their healthy action.
The first steps, therefore, toward establish
ing the regular exercise of the brain is to
educate and train it in youth, keeping the
body healthy, and regularly exercised as

Salt for Farm Stock.

Prof. James e. Johnson, of Scotland,
says that half the saline matter of the
blood $50 per cent.) consists of common
salt, and as this is partly dissolved every
day through the skin and kidneys, the ne
cessity of confined supplies of it to the
body is sufficiently obvious. The bile also
contains soda Zone of the ingredients of
salt as a special and indispensable constit-
uent, and so do all the cartilages of the
body. Stint the supply of salt, and neither
will the bile be able to properly assist di-
gestion, nor the cartilage to be built up
again as fast as they naturally waste. 1t is
better to place salt where stock can have
free access to it than to give it occasionally
in small quantities. They will help them
selves to what they need, if allowed to do
so at pleasure; otherwise, when they be-
come salt hungry, they may take more
than is wholesome.

The value of science and perseverance
in farm work is illustrated by the result O
wheat culture in Massachusetts. In 1912,
John Quincy Adams in despair wrote to
n friend that, after fifty years of reading
and experimenting, he had failed to raise
wheat in New England. But the perse-
vering Yankees, not daunted by half
century of failure, persevered, and by the
aid of more intelligent labor have sue
ceeded so we'll in raising wheat in
Massachusetts that, by the last report of
the Commissioners Of Agriculture, it ap-
pears that the yield per acre in the Old
Bay State largely exceeds that of the vir-
gin soil of Kansas. This should be en-
couraging to our farmers. We hear men
say grass will not grow in the East Ten
nessee. If fifty years of experiments have
totally failed to raise it, which is not the
case, there would still be room for hope
The fact is, hard work, if intelligently di-
rected, will accomplish wonders.

Potatoes in Drills.

Mr.. w. j. Pettee desires to know some
thing about drill-planting for potatoes.
My method is-plow the land in the fall !;
as early in the spring as possible, draw on
barnyard manure, twenty two-horse loads
TO the acre, spreading from the wagon (;
harrow well; then with a two-horse hoe
drill the land, thirty inches apart in these
drills drop the seed (cut some time previ-
Gus into two eyes to set, twelve inches
apart cover the seed with the two-horse
hoe, by splitting the ridges turned up in
making the drills, using no hand labor,
unless the end of that drill comes up to the
fence-in that case the end of the drill must
be covered by hand for distance equal to
the length of the team; should the potato
patch be away from the fence, there will be
no necessity for using any hand labor.
We clip the above from the COunt77,
Gentleman, and commend the practice as
economical and as applicable to late plant
ed as to early planted potatoes. AS soon as
the plants can be seen above ground, one
horse cultivator should be moving between
rows, amidst the earth as close to the po-
tatoes as possible without disturbing them
After the plants are larger they can be
titled moderately by running a two-horse
hoe between the rows. All the work may
be done by horse power, even the digging
of the crop.

FIREPRooF RooFs.-A wash, composed
of lime, salt, and fine sand, or wood ashes,
put on in the ordinary way of white wash,
is said to render shingles fifty fold more
ders, or otherwise, in case of fire in the vi
entity. 1t pays the expenses hundred
fold in its preserving influence against the
effect of the weather. The older and more
weather beaten the shingles, the more
benefit derived. Such shingles are gener-
ally more or less warped, rough, and crack
ed. The application of the wash, by wet
ting the upper surface, restores them to
their original or first form, thereby closing
the spaces between the shingles and the
lime and sand, by filling up the cracks, pre-
vents the warping.

IRONING WITHOUT HEAT.-A lady of
experience says that much time and trou-
hia may be saved by ironing without heat
and flat irons. Wien rinslng the clothes,
fold coarse sheets, towels, and tablecloths
in the shape the shape they are wanted,
and pass them through the wringer as
tight as possible. Unfold and hang to dry
where the wind does not blow very hard,
They will need little or no ironing. The
tablecloths should be dipped in old, sweet,
skinned milk; this gives them a lustre.
and they need no starch,

EARLY CHICKENs.-It is a mistake to
sell all the eggs laid late in winter or very
early in spring, A good supply of early
chickens should not be neglected. A little
more care is required, and few may be

worth much more than those Matched in
July, When fit for market the cockerels
will bring much better prices, and the pull

Tweed sun at the Tom bs.


William M. Tweed still remains at the
Tombs. Under Sheriff Joel 0. Stevens,
Tuesday, stated to reporter that he did
not ''think they would take Tweed to
the Island antil they had a load, adj
ding smilingly, that, judging by the en-
ergy displayed in pressing the suits
against Ingersoll and Genet, full COM
plement of prisoners for the prison van
would shortly be forthcoming. The
District Attorney stated that there exists
no reason, technical or otherwise, why
Tweed should not by this time be in
prison on BIackwell's Island. His de-
tention in the Tombs depends, he said,
upon the will of the sheriff, over which
he (the District Attorney has no con-
troll The sheriff has discretionary
power in such matters, and the District
Attorney cannot intervene, unless in the
event of case becoming so glaring as
to render the sheriff liable to be indicted
for neglect of duty. Sheriff Brennan
himself states that his reasons for allow
ing Tweed to remain temporarily in the
TomDs is to afford the condemned man
an opportunity of arranging his affairs
before going to the penitentiary. Tweed,
he states, has twelve years to serve, and
there is nothing improper or unpreced-
ented in allowing him few days grace
before transferring him to Blackwell's
Island. 1t is only such an indulgence as
has been frequently extended before to
persons in similar circumstances, and
one to which no human person can pos
sibly object. The general impression
prevailing is that the sheriff will not
take Tweed to the penitentiary until
such time as decision shall have. been
rendered on the bill of exceptions which
will be argued before Judge Davis in a
few days The visitors to Tweed Tues
day were his wife and daughter. Both
ladies were deeply yelled. They re-
manned with their unfortunate relative
for considerable time. Mrs. Tweed, it
is said, at the first sight of her husband
was completely overcome and burst into
q flood of tears. The prisoner, however,
maintained his wonted air of stoicism.
Later in the day he was visited by his
son, William NJ Tweed, and several of
his counsel, with whom he held long and
earnest conference. Several of his po-
litical friends also called at the prison,
but only small number of them were
admitted to his presence.
