COTTON SEED AND ASHES FOR
MANURE.

A correspondent writing from Mineral
Springs, Arkansas, asks: "What is the COM
parative value Of cotton seed as manure,
and good stable manure in equal quaint
ties? What is the best disposition to make
of ash as a manure? Should they be APP
piled separately, or put In q compost? Is
there any crop for which they are specially
sdsp ed?" The value of stable manure de-
ponds largely on the kind Of feed consumed
by working or other stock. If they eat 3
good deal of grain, ard their droppings are
permitted to dry, q wagon lad viii have at
least twice the value of the same weight OF
manure very wet, and formed from poor
hay, fodder or straw. Dry cotton seed are
worth more per ton than wet stable manure
IS a fertiliser. If one raises corn or cotton

The Omaha (Neb.) Republican begins
an article in this way: "On the west bank
of the Missouri River, like school boy
dangling bis feet in a mud puddle, sits the
city of Omaha She holds the gateway to
the, Pacific coast, and the agricultural lands
this side the slope-that are tributary for
supplies. There are nearly 10000 people
chasing dollars IN the corporation, and yet
everybody has chance to turn an honest
penny" And then it goes on to show the
necessity for sidewalks.

MRS. sIDDONs AND G.F.T.

When Mrs. Scott-Siddons WAS in Mime
apolis recently some one sent her an album
asking the favor of her autograph. The sig
nature of George Francis Train was the
last that had been written in the album
which was as follows:
Wake up, People! Death to Kingsl
Down with Party! Smash the Rings!
Next President America.
GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
Taking the pen, Mrs. Scott-Siddons added:
No! leave alone the "Kings' and "Rings,"
But pray put "down" some other things;
Put s'down" iron fit for rails,
For danger now ones life assails.
Put ''down' sleepers'' somewhat sound,
That folks may travel safely round,
Lest 'people wake up" with crash
AS yestern lin railway smash
I'm charmed with Minneapolis
Let no one doubt the truth Of this,
Pm asked-and will come back again,
Ionly beg a safer-Train.

EXPERIMENTS WITH sTRAWBER.
RIES IN 1872.

A correspondent OF the South Bend,
InG.) Tribune explains bis manner of
planting strawberries, which is in rows four
feet apart by sixteen inches in the row,
keeping tie runners cut until Aug. /, and
mulching during winter:
In the spring of 1872 the mulch was care
fully raked off the vines, which looked very
fresh and green, and left between the rows.
Nothing more was done only to pull out q
few weeds till the berries were ready to
pick. And now for the berries. Bed No.
l was planted with Peaks Emperor,
No. with the Agriculturist. These
two sorts proved to be so near alike
that it was of noE use to pick them
separately to try to make any distinction
between them. They are very productive,
the berries large, many of them Of irregular
shape, dark red, good flavor, but rather too
soft and easily bruised for good market
berry. Bed No. 3, Jucunda, was the best
in the lot. The berries uniformly large and
fine, bright scarlet color, glossy surface,
firm and solid, and Of extra favor. No. 4,
Green Prolific, did the poorest of any. They
made tremendous growth of coarse rank
vines, which st0ng the hands of the pickers
like nett.es, and so overshadowed and
smotEered the berries that they amounted
to but little, and they were quite soft and
pale colored. l plowed up this bed and in
tend planting it with some other sort next
spring. No. 5, Wilson, sustained its reputa-
ton well; it was the second best in the lot.
The main objection to it is that, toward
the last of the picking, .here are great
many small berries. No. 6 and last was
planted with various sorts. Russel's Pro-
life, berries large, coarse looking and hol-
low, good flavor but not prolific. Boyden's
No. 80 produced few very large berries
and good many small ones. Napoleon
Ill Il suggest that this berry be named
simply Napoleon. There l1Gs but one
Napoleon. Napoleon Ii. was failure and
Napoleon III. was sham. This berry is
not sham.) 1t is very large, Lale colored
berry, of extra fine flavor, but rather soft
for market. 1t is decidedly healthy and
vigorous plant and stands heat and drought
better than any sort | have. Jennings
White is soft and pale cclcred, but the fin
est favored berry we have unless it be
Napoleon Ill. 1t is quite productive,
hardy and vigorous vine, and makes null
titude of runners. / recommend it for
home use.
From this patch picked and sold 2,400
quarts, at an average price of eighteen cents
per quart, gross, making $4S200. Besides
what was sold, we used in the family and
gave away, as nearly as we can estimate,
about two hundred quarts. have read of
much lager crops than this, but this is the
best have done yet, though l think l can
do better. l kept no count of the number
of quarts produced by eac1 bed, but am
certain if each kind had done as well as the
Jucunda, should have had at least third
more berries, and also got better price for
them, as this variety always sold for the
highest price.

There is no change in the rates of dis

legal rate of 10 per cent per snnum; they,
however, confine their accommodations
mainly to their own depositors and custom

in active demand. The banks in drawing
charge at the rate of 81 per Thousand and
buy par to premium. Sight cotton bills
are taken at off.

CUT.wORMs AVID OORN.

a correspondent of the Country Gentle
man thus gives his opinions as to how cut
worms may be prevented from doing any
damage to corn:
The method is cheap, of easy application
andperfectly safe. Ii anybody else should
write to you in the same strain of assertion,
tshould think be was "blowing,' and would
give but little heed to him, but l beg of
your readers to give this plan q trial next
spring over parts of their fields, so
that 1t may be tested, and then
send you the result for publication. My
brother discovered this method; and has
published 1t yoar after year many times. l
once asked him if he had heard of any body
else trying it, and he said that lie had heard
of a few, and he believed more had failed
with it than succeeded, and that it had kill
ed the corn oftener than it had repealed the
worms, but that he should continue TO keep
1t before the public until It's merits were ap-
preciated by enough of farmers to
prevent the discovery being lost
again. / am pleased to say that |
have, within few years past, heard of
a good many who have used it successful
ly. The failures are always the result OF
mismanagement of the grossest kind,
though the whole thing is just as simple as
sweetening q cup of coffee. Here it is.
Immediately after the corn is planted,
sprinkle on the hill, over the covered grains,
about one tablespoonful of salt to each hill.
More will do no harm, but how much
more the corn could stand do not know.
A tablespoonful is enough, and perhaps
less would do. That is all. have buried
cut-worms in salt and left them there q
long time without doing them any apparent
harm, and they will crawl over salt without
hesitation or any seeming annoyance, but
they will not eat the young corn plants if
there is little salt in its sap. That seems
to be the explanation of its protective in
fluence.
The explanation of the harm sometimes
done by this method is as follows: The
worms begin to cut the corn, and they keep
on cutting it. The farmer has seen my
brothers article in the country newspaper,
or in some agricultural publication, and
he gives bis corn hills and corn dose Of
salt. The grains of salt fall down the
inside of the the tender corn blades to the
center of the plant and wither it. Allow
me to repeat that the salt should be put
on the corn hills Immediately after the
planting, that it may be dissolved by the
rain, dew, or other moisture in the air, and
thus reach the roots of the plant greatly d.
luted by mixture with the soil, and there
fore safe to the young and tender plant;
and also that it may be at the roots, where
it may enter the sap of the plsnt-not at
the leaves, where it can only destroy. l
wish that some ofyour cotton growing read
ers would try it on cotton plants as pro-
lection against the worms that every
few years infict q national calamity by
making so much of the crop a failure. If
it should prove as successful on cotton as on
corn, Congress may recognize the value of
my suggestion by voting me few sections
Of public land, which 1 will gratefully ac-
cept, and establish an experimental farm!
