Winter Wheat VS.. White Weed.

How many acres of pestiferous white
weed would plow under and SOW winter
wheat on its rotting roots? Yes, 1 would
begin where it was thickest, and follow it
up till it was eXterminated, root and
branch, from every moving field of the
farm. Ash or lime the burrows, SOW Sept
l, one and half bushels wheat to the acre;
use the cultiyator in covering then SOW
grass seed and brush in and roll. This
simple process gave me a good crop of
wheat early in July, and good, we'll
caught crop Of grass mixed with stubble,
which made good chop feed, and my grass
field re-established without loss of time. 1t
was now early in August. The pillow is
sure death 10 white weed. This was by
far the most profitable two acres of the
farm.
Three important objects were attained:
First, my hated white weed was killed ;
second, my wheat crop a great success !;
third, my grass-seed caught well, and gave
me good crop. Could in conscience ask
more? How soon this noxious weed be-
comes master of the grasses, and how soon
it can be proftably exterminated. Try it.
1 soaked sixty grains Of wheat in moder-
ately strong soap suds twelve hours every
grain came up the foarth day after plant

SOWed Corn.

Some time ago L made an inquiry
through the RuraL NeU Yorker in regard
to sowing corn for fodder, the manner of
sowing, the kind to SOW and when. 1 re-
ceived an answer from the editor; also from
a subscriber. L acted partly on advice
given and partly on my own knowledge.
S;Uw I9r II1e result: have as fine a piece
OF fodder corn as one could find if he was
to search far and g wide The corn
ally good soil, broadcast, without manure.
The ground was plowed in the spring
when / was about blowing for field corn,
the first of May, and laid in that condi-
ton until the middle Of June, when 1
sowed the seed and narrowed well after
sowing. 1 could not have taken a season
that one would have felt the need of some
such thing for soiling stock as this, on &C
count of the dry weather. The pasture is
nothing here; to see the cattle about feed
ing time marching up for their daily ra-
tons does ones heart good and the way
they punish the juicy stalks of corn is a
caution. 1 send this as my first experience
in raising corn for fodder. As long as run
a farm l shall manage to have piece of
corn sowed for stock.-RttrdL Ne1o YORKER.

Locating Farm Buildings.

Buildings being the most important per-
manent improvement that can be put upon
the home farm, there should be special
pains taken in the location of the same.
1t is not difficult matter to find large
numbers of husbandmen in any rural dis
trict who are dissatisfied with the con-
struction and situation of the dwellings,
barns, &c Where buildings are to be
erected new, a careful survey of the land
should be made, and such point chosen
for the dwelling and its surroundings as
will be the most healthful, and at the same
time convenient as to highway.
We have known farmers to locate resi-
dences upon low ground, when elevated
and desirable sites were abundant, simply
because few fruit trees, and, perhaps,
small barn, had been put there unwisely
by some one years before. Others to con-
tinue a residence where the first hut was
built when clearing the farm. 1t should
be remembered that the health of the
household is of more importance than any
consideration, and that whenever the resi-
dence and other farm buildings are located,
the comforts of shade and fruits, under the
management of good farmers, will soon
grace and bless the locality with plenty.
After the best possible site has been
chosen for the residence, all things con-
sidered, the relative position for the our p
buildings next call for attention. We do
but would place the stock-barn so that the
cow-yard or stable would not be so far
| away as to make the carrying of milk a
task, so as to have to pass through tall
gras in the summer, or snow banks in the
winter, to reach it. The horse-barn should
be situated so that the stable-door will open
into the barn-yard or lane, for the con-
venience of taking in or turning out
horses The dairy house we would have
between the dwelling and cow-barn for
the convenience of both the mixers and
the housewife, and the other buildings at
such points as to be the most accessible for
the purposes designed.
Where buildings are already unhandily
located, we say. if means will permit,
move them into desired positions. With
the present facilities for lifting and moving
structures, the task is not arduous or very
expensive. 500 expended in this will be
returned in convenience and the saving of
labor in a short time, and the farm, per-
haps, enhanced in Value several times that
amount by the more attractive appearance
given it.-ErchdHge.

Dried Fruit.

The american Grocer saws: Within
the past few weeks speculative operators
have conspicuously appeared not only
in this market, but in the large cities of
the West and Southwest, and materially
advanced the price of dried apples. Sew
eral large orders for sliced apples are now
in the hands of prominent brokers, with
out the slightest possibility of being exc
cuted, all the stock having changed hands
and will be carried over the summer. The
reports of the fruit crop are unfavorable,
and the general outlook is encouraging to
producers; yet it would be well for dealers
to consider the large stock now on hand,
and not overstock themselves with high
priced fruit at the opening Of the season.
The Southern States are fully alive to
the importance of this trade, and every
year there is marked improvement in
the curing and packing of all kinds of
dried fruits. North Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia, and Tennessee fruits are the best,
and always in demand when each package
is uniform in grade and the weights and
tares are correctly marked.
Bright colored fruits sell best Quarter

Pile up the Manure.

Yes, pile up the manure, and don't let
any lie scattered about the yards. We
have had, in most sections, a wet, back
ward spring the land has been soft, and it
has been difficult TO draw manure on the
fields. Help has also been scarce and high,
and the weather bad so we may conclude
that less than the usual amount of work
has been done, and that more than the
usual amount Of manure is still left in the
yards.
Many farmers save, pile and rot their
manure, so as TO use it for top dressing
for wheat in the fall. Such farmers have
doubtless taken up their manure as soon
as the stock was taken from the yards.
But many others, who are not accustomed
to this practice, have their manure still
scattered over the yards just as il has accu-
mulated through the winter and spring.
These farmers may yet gain largely by pill
ing their barn-yard manure; and / would
suggest that this manure be well piled and
rotted, and used just before sowing to top
dress the land for winter grain. Manure
applied in this way viii give the young
plants an early and vigorous start, and
give them better growth and root, so they
will stand better chance to live through
an unfavorable winter and spring, and to
yield q satisfactory crop at harvest.
This top-dressing will also be of consider
able benefit TO the new seeding in spring,
which is generally soWn on grain, and
give much better crop of clover or grass.
Where a good meadow is desired, il will
be a special benefit TO the coming crops OF
hay. If winner grass is not sown or the
manure is not needed on the land sown,
the manure may be spread on clover OF
grass land in the fall that is TO be plowed
up the next spring for corn. Manure used
in this way often pays better than when
applied in any other way. / have for some
years been OF the opinion that barn-yard
manure, as made in most grain sections

that the kukluX question, in one Kentucky
county at least, will receive a speedy and

NOISY Creek ITEMS.

EDIToRs CHEoSIcLE; Thinking you would
like to hear from this place, we herewith pre-
sent a brief account Of things in general
The weather has been very pleasant for the
past two or three days, the air being cooler
than usual, which is probably owing to the
abundance of rain in other localities
Most farmers have threshed their wheat
which resulted in about half crop. Oats are
tolerably fair. Corn looks very promising
We notice several farmers have commenced
blowing for wheat another year, thinking the
past failure Providential.
&The Noisy Creek College opened to-day, as
we learn, but was not largely patronized, ow.
ing to the report which has been spread abroad
that cholera was raging here, which is a mistake
Young men who wish to avail themselves of
the opportunities here presented in this institu-
ton of learning, the unryaed experience of
whose professors is so well known, should not
fear to attend. The mess is, as we understand,
now in successful operation.
We are happy to announce that the services
of matrimony took place between Mr., William
Reese and Mrs. Maggie Main, jl,re dtvino, all
of this town. We hope their lives will ever be
sweet and useful, and that the blessings of God
will ever rest upon them.

THE COTTON CRoP.-The cotton ex-
change committee on statistics, at New
Orleans, have made report for the infor-
nation of the trade, showing, so far as
they can ascertain by correspondence, the
present status and the prospects of the new
crop of cotton. The information received
indicates that there will be avery fine crop
in all of the cotton Taising States, but that
the picking will be from one to two weeks
later than last year.
