THE COMPOST HEAP.

In forming the compost heap it is not abb
solutely essential that We should have any
manure to start the pile in fermentation. a
dead horse or other animal, or some refuse
pieces of skin ftom tannery, or sizing from
paper mill, CT the refuse OF glue factory,
or the sweepir gs of wooden mill, will have
the same effect on the compost as the ma
nu,e. All animal matter, with the excep-
ton of wool, hair and bones, decays rapidly
during the summer, and imparts the same
tendency to every organized substance with
which 1t may come ia contact. Even
wooden waste, which alone would decom-
pose slowly, is generally so saturated with
oil, hichly carbonaceous and consequent
ly infismnable substance, that it heats up
the compost heap admirably. A spontane-
GUS combustion goes on in the pile, which
speedily reduces the whole into good con.
dition for top-dressing. If a few bushels OF
wood ashes, say five or six, can be added to

OLD APPLE TnEEs.

MaysVile Eagle says: "An spple-tree on
the farm Of David Hunter, which is kno En
to have borne full crop of June apples in
1895, bore good crop during the past
summer, and although bereft of many of its
branches by the storm on the 4th of July,
1873, looks green snd vigorous still" The
tree that bears the June apple is healthy,
vigorous grower, aud very fruitful on good
limestone soils in East tennessee. The
fruit is handsome, smooth, and, IipeniDg
early, slways sells well in market. From
considerable experience we commend the
June apple as profitable crop TO raise for
consumption in ST. Louis, Chicago,
Louisville, Cincinnati, and other north.
ern cities. The trees may be had
OF nurserymen near Nashville. By
the way, now is the time to prune apple
trees. Break off with q coarse boot all
sprouts near the roots of trees%f the sprouts
are not too old; in that case, use an old axe.
The cotton ophis is the worst enemy our
apple trees have to encounter in all the
Southern States. This insect forms bad
excressences on the roots and limbs of
trees, and we have bad trees girdled and
killed by them. Washing trees, including
all large limbs, in lye formed from hard
wood ashes, and then withdrawing with
good lime, are the best remedies. Lay the
roots bare and put lime about them to kill

OROHARDS IN GRASS.

If a man desires fruit for himself and
family only, and is Indifferent as to the
time be gets it, and Indifferent about the
quality and quantity, then he may plant his
trees in grass ground and keep them in that
condition; but if he intends to make the
business of fruit growing dependence for
a livelihood, he would hardly be satisfied to
wait from twelve to fifteen years for results
that might be obtained by good culture in
seven or eight years; nor would he be likely
to be pleased with the moderate returns
from common or inferior fruit, while bis
neighbor was receiving high prices for a
superior article grown on ground where
fruit was the only crop.
1t is true that there are soils so rich that
culture would give trees an excessive
growth, and not only postpone fruitfulness,
but meke them liable to be injured by the
severe winters. An experienced horticul-
turist would not choose s1ch soil for an
orchard.
One great advantage Of having the ground
under culture is that it enables the orchard
ist 20 give his trees more uniform growth,
without regard to condition or unfavorsble
seasons. If his trees are loaded with fruit
or the season unusually dry, more fire.
quent stirring of the surface will generally
keep up the desired vigor, but if the trees
are in grass and the season very dry, he is
powerless to help the case and can only
watch and worry to see his trees almost
cease to grow, the leaves turn brown and
the fruit drop for want of sustensnce, and
perhaps gets very little consolation as he
listens to bis neighbours merry whistle
while following his cultivator or harrow
through his orchard, unconcerned about
the weather and wicked enough perhaps to
wish that everybody else believed in the
''grass theory" so that he will be able to
get an extra price for his extra frUit.-Hor-

WHEAT CROP IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. j. B. Loves (whom We regard as
the highest English authority in such mat
ters) makes the following statement:
"The agricultural returns, just published,
show that the area under wheat in Great
Britain was, in the season just past, only
about per cent. less than in 1872. As so
much less than usual was sown in the au-
tumn, this result proves that there must
have been very unusually large area sown
with wheat in the spring. The actual num-
Der of acres returned for Great Britain is
{, 490,392. The returns for Ireland are not
yet available, but It may be assumed that
they will bring up the acres under wheat in
the United Kingdom 10 about 100000
acres. Reckoning the average yield per acre
at 225 bushels, the produce of the United
Kingdom would be 10,406, $50 qrs. From
this must be deducted q bushels per
acre required for seed, which, reckoning the
same ares, would be 1,040,6 25 qrs. The
amount Of home produces available for con-
sumption would thus be reduced to $685.
625 qrs. Estimating the average popula-
ton of the United Kingdom during the
harvest year Sept smber l, 1873, to August l.,
1874, 81, 1865, 226, and the consumption per
head at 81 bushels, the requirements for
the year will be q, 251, 100 qys., leaviDg a

sources. Last year l estimated the require
ments from abroad would amount to
twelve million qrs., and the actual imports,
less exports, amounted to rather over
twelve and quarter million qrs. 1t is pos
sible high prices may somewhat reduce the
quantity this year, but it is quite evident
that our home supplies will have to be sup
plemented BY very large import of forei. Il

Ills the golden CLEAN of an autumn day,
With the soft rain raining as If in play;
And tender touch upon everything,
As IT, autumn remembered the days of spring.
In the listening woods there is not breath
To shake their gold to the sward beneath;
And glow as IL sunshine upon them lies,
The cocks clear crow from the farmyard comes
The mufied bell from the belfry booms,
And faint and dim, from far away,
Come the voices Of children in happy play.
And the black rocks, cawing, across them sail,
While nearer the swooping swallows skim
Der the steel-gray rivers fretted brim.
No sorrow Upon the landscape weighs,
No grief for the yanquished summer days,
But sense of peaceful and calm repose,
Like that which age in its autumn knows.
The spring-time longings are past and gone,
The passions of summer no longer are know n,
The harvest is gathered, and autumn stands
Serenely thoughtful, with folded hands.
Over all is thrown memorial hue,
A glory ideal the real ne'er knew;
For memory sits from the past its pain,
And suffers its beauty alone to remain.
With half a smile and with half sigh
1t ponders the past that has hurried bv:
Sees it, and feels it, and loves it all,
Content it has vanished beyond recall.
o glorious autumn, thus serene,
Thus living and loving all that has beenl
Thus calm and consented let me be
When the autumn Of age shall come to me.

FARM AND GARDEN.
COWS FOR MILK.

A farmers Wife writes in an exchange:
~ have made butter from Durhsms and
Devons and common cows: but l never
saw any COW that would make so much but
ter, and of such nice quality, in year, as a
Jersey; and if the Jersey COW be the COW
for the gentleman, who wants rich cream,
she is also the COW for the farmer that wants
gilt-edged butter"
The general verdict of dairymen and
women who have fairly tried all breeds for
cream and butter, is in favor of the Jerseys.
The Ayreshires are said to excel in the
yield of curds and cheese. As the con-
sumption of cheese Increases faster than
that of butter, the demand for AYRSHIRE
COWS for cheese diaries is large and paying.
But we see COWS on the commons near
Nashville that show at once good blood and
bad neglect.

Use MORE PLASTER.

A correspondent Of the Country Gentle
man makes the following suggestion:
''The lack of plaster has been clearly seen
the present season with those who deem
their land rich enough without the sulphate
They are among the farmers who occupy
our river soil. The heads of their clover
(second crop are small and without BIOS
som; the stem corresponds. Had plaster
been used, there would have been a fine
crop Of full -blossomed clover, IS was the
case where plaster was sown. Let us not
deceive ourselves, as we surely are doing
when we omit the sulphate."
Glover will stand the drouth, such as we
usually find it, in consequence probably Of
its long, penetrating root. But it must have
fair share of moisture, which the large
foliage of the plant requires. The present
season deprives it Of this. There is a
drouth underground, reaching beyond the
extent of the roots. Especially have we
noticed this in our deeply and well drained
river soil. Grass grew; and Sd did the
grains, including Indian corn and broom
corn. Potatoes are superior crop; buck
wheat is excellent; but clover, especially the
second crop, lacks"

PREPARE FOR WINTER.


The sharp frosts we are having admon-
ish us that winter is not far off, and ali
wise farmers will prepare for it in many
ways. 1t is good economy to provide sta
bles or other shelter for sll horned stock.
Too mapy let their cows and other cattle
run out all winter, taking all storms of rain
and snow TO their serious injury. Stock
thus exposed require a third more food to
do them, and then often come out very
poor in the spring. To certain extent,
warm stable acts as sub
stitute for good hay or fodder.
Every domestic animal must keep its blood
up to 9S degrees either by being in warm
atmosphere, or by burning more food in its
system through respiration and digestion
10 generate internal heat. The colder the
weather, the more vital air enters the lungs
ct each inspiration,it being more condensed
by cold, and the more carbon and hydrogen
In some organized is consumed and expell-
ed as carbonic acid and vapor. Hence
warm rooms in winter are economical as
well IS comfortable. Now is the time to
shut out the cold, if not already done. 1t
is not necessary that house, barn or stable
should be very expensive or fine for com
fort. Make the building tight and warm
for all that live, and naturally have warm
blood. The blood of man and that of his
beasts deserve more thought and care.
Life and warmth are most intimately con.
nected; and every one makes q mistake
when the vitality of warm blooded being
Ia exposed to unnecessary cold. No farmer
should have long in his possession more
stock of any kind than he can keep in an
Improving condition.

| four or five times the produce commonly
raised; a. TIE same time less money ssunk
in land, or the money sunk thereinssyields
greatly increased rate of interest, for each
acre yields the produce of four on the ordi-
nary system. Lastly, 1t is only rarely that
land is suitable for profitable psstnriDg;
rich pasture lsnd is scarce and valnsble,
while any land may be adapted for sys-
tenn of soilIng, and may be brought up to
its requirements"
Ginning from the pen of a plain farmer who
describes what he has seen and done, the
above statement should be pondered by our
Southern land holders, and enltivators of
the soil. To bring titled land up to its
maximum capacity for growing crops, and
increase the profits nearly as much as the
fertility, implies a new departure IN hus-
bandry that all should try and understand.
II means to keep cows or other stock up in
yards, small lots, under sheds, or in stables,
and feeding them. All their droppings are
carefully saved and returned 10 the ground
whence their roots, grain, or forage, was
taken. Under this system, msjority of
soils will improve; a few will not. Where
the rock is granite, hard, and not easily dis
integrated, or poor sandstone, some out
side bone dust, gympsum and potash salts
may be required. But on good lime land in
Middle Tennessee, good husbsndry will en-
rich the soil with no purchased manure, as
in the best farming districts Of Pennsylvan-
ia and New York. In all such cases, fer
tilisers in rocks, subsoils, moving water on
and in the ground, in rain, and in the at
mosphere augment the earth's fruitfulness
by and through wise husbandry. The
soil is the farmers savings bank.
1t never breaks and rarely refuses 10 honor
any proper check on its trust funds. 1t is
not an institution made by spectators or
legislators for some private gain, but it is
Natures most fruitful workshop, contrived
not by man, but by bis Creator. What su-
preme folly for any one to deplete the soil
which God made, to store its wealth in
banks, cities or villages, where it is 80 cas-
lily lost, with strong probability that COM
ing generations will suffer for bread in our
own impoverished land. If there is a bet
ter system of planting and farming than to
produce so many old fields, is it not time TO
adopt it here In Tennessee? Let us try
soiling in 8 small way as an experiment.

rant laid iG the hands of the defendat for
$4,000. The counsel of the First National

provides that no attachment, INDUCTION, or
exception shall be issued against any ma
tional bank or its property Def re final judg-

sOILING AND How ITO START

A Pennsylvania farmer furnishes the
New York Tribune the following timely
suggestions on this topic: at has been
shown that soiling enables the sgriculturist
TO keep more stock in proportion to the ex-
tent of his farm, and that the number may,
with the best management, amount 10 one
bead per acre. This result is attained by
increasing the produce of the soil and pre-
vent the least waste of that produce. 1t has
further been shown that the fertility of the
land thus used Is insreased year by year
and its productive capacity brought up to 6
maximum. Also, that the produce of the
cattle thus fed, whether it be milk, cheese,
butter or beef, is hugely increased. 1t is
found, too, that these results ara brought
about with the expenditure of less labor in
proportion to the yield, as each acre yields
for the same amount of standard work in
blowing, narrowing, sowing and cultivsting
