Blade is removed. The time is coming

SHeet pofato draws, and cuttings of
vines may still be put out In this latitude
but do not delay this work, as itwillsoon
be too late for a,erep. In working the
sweet potato crop, avoid covering the
vines; many, we are aware, take pains
to cover the vines, thinking IL increases
the crop, but there can be no greater.
mistake. Prevent them from taking root
between the rows by lifting theYin now
and then, especially after heavy rains !;
or, better still, if practicable, mulch the
ground heavily, between the rows and
thus prevent the vines from taking root.
Hay is a most Important and too much
neglected crop. Make all you can, and
prepare to make more next year, by get
ting some suitable land into grass. Cow
peas may be sown broadcast, as q aepar-
ate crop, for hay. From a bnshel TO a
bushel and a half per acre will be suifi-
cient seeding. J9GF
-ATurnips should be, largely planted.
Prepare the land thoroughly and manure
heavily, and you may make your first
sowing about the last of this month; and
ifit fail, you can try again in ten days,
and SO on, till stand is obtained; but
August and September are generally bet
ter months for sowing the main crop.

HOW TO KEEP OUT RATS AND NICE.
This is my plan for keeping them out of
barrels of sugar, -four, meal, lard; &c.
After the barrel as unheaded, take offtne
top hoop and put on an iron hoop, let
ting it fit tolerably tight, and let it pro-
ject quarter or half an inch above
the top of the barrel, and then have
lid fitted on quite level and let it project
over the side of the barrel about two
inches, and I assure you that no mouse
can get in by cutting his way, as is their
custom, for the iron hoop prevents them

Thoughts for the Month.

AS the planter approaches the end of
his crop-making operations, be sometimes
permits himself to become a little remiss
in his exertion or in his vigilance, and
the "laying by" is less carefully done
than the previous cultivation. This is q
great error. The,last working. though
it may be light, fthe previous ones have
been thorough should be done with extra
care, SO that the field may be left clean
and in full possession of the crop and moth
ing else. Corn must be kept clean till. the
blades meet across the rows, then laid
by, sowing peas broadcast at the last
working. These will shade the ground
and furnish good crop of peas, or of
pea vine hay, or an excellent green ma
nure to turn under. 1t is not we'll to
stop the ploughs and hoes in the cotton
too soon, but when you find that the
sweep will not much longer be able to
pass without breaking the branches lay
by" with careful working. Then, and
not till then, consider your duty in the
way of cultivation done. You want hay,
but the cotton field is not a good place
tor2ake it. One crop at time is the
rule and cotton, unlike corn, requires the
whole season.
AS partial exceptions to the rule of
one crop at time, we advise peas with
corn, and in some cases the small grains
with cotton, as they make most of their
growth after the original crop has ceased
to require the soil. Oats may be sown
at the last working of the cotton, no ex-
tralabor being required, except the broad
casting of the seed between the rows, in
advance of the ploughs; but oats sown
so early in the season require to be fed
off before the final picking of tho cotton,
to prevent them from prematurely throw
ing up the seed stem. Sheep do this
work, with great benefit to themselvs and
with no damage to the cotton, provided
Of course, that they are turned out as soon
as the oats are. we'll cropped Wheat,
sown later, requires to be covered with
the plough OF cultivator. During the
winter the cotton stalks must be broken
down, when the grain will have full pos
session of the field, This plan has beer
found to work we'll, when the land has
been in good condition and is worthy of q
more extensive trial, where labor and
mule-power are scarce; but it does moi
permit that thorough preparation of the
land necessary to the best result in small
grain culture.
Those who are not yet prepared t.
abandon fodder pulling should endeavol
to SO time the operation as to give tn,
BEST results attainable-that is, get n goot
article of fodder, with the least possibl
injury to the grain. Ifyou pull too ear
" the corn will suffer badly while i
you wait too long, the blade will be o
little value. The grains should have be
gun to harden, to say the least, before

A CURIOUS CASE.
Mysterious appearance OF Seven
Thousand Dollars.

Mysterious Disa ppearance OF Seven
Thousand Dollars.
Detective Thomas Sampson, OF the Central once
Police. arrested Lotus Francis yesterday after.
noon under somewhat peculiar circumstances, and
locked him mp at Police Headquarters. Francis
was employed by Mr.. ]. T. Robin, of No. Is
Exchange place. He was sent to the
Metropolitan Bank yesterday, with a
gold check for 10 for collection At the bank
he received from the teller one $4,000 gold duty
certificate. four $500 and 800 and $ss so in
gold coin, with twenty cents in silver. Upon
his return to Exchange place Francis acted IN
strange manner. He no sooner got inside the
door than he commenced to feel his pockets and
tumble about his person. when asked the
cause of his uneasness he cried and muttered
omething his employers finally understood to.
mean that he had been robbed. After good deal
OF searching he produced the $ss so, and then ex-
planned that the rest Of the money had either been
stolen from him or he had lost 1t. Detective Samp-
son was called In and after an examination OF the
young man he concluded to arrest him. Francis
was then conducted TO Police Headquarters and at
once taken before superintendent Matsel The
superintendent questioned him closely and
SO dd b an @ G1a be
tion with these ofncals Francis manner was.very
rough, and Indicated character more accustomed
TO the Bowery than banking concern. The same
style OF conversation manifested itself at the mo-
ment OF his arrest Although theres as yet no evi-
dence to snow what became OF the money, the
police are OF opinion that day or two win
bring out something In the matter. Shortly
after the arrest Of LOTUS man called
asked Inspector walling IL ne would not
be allowed to 90 into the CELL Mr.. walling said
certainly and desired him to return in half an
hour. AS the Individual was leaving the building
Inspector Walling sent detective to watch his
movements; but the man, suspecting something
visit his friend. 1t Is than probable the de.
tectives are now after this man, and, II ANYTHING
suspicious in his conduct betrays ITSELF he will
undoubtedly, ,be arrested. Detective Sampson was
at work on the case last night, and ssne thing Will
likely be revealed In the matter to-day.
