MR.. EDITOR:
I have notion to lay down five acres
of land for crab grass for the purpose of
making hay. am desirous of quitting
the stripping fodder system, because am
of opinion that to make it of any value for
nutrition it must be stripped SO early rs
to materially .injure the corn; and to
gather when corn is fully matured, it
is worthless as nutritious food for stock.
I am seeking information on several
points, which hope some one of the
many readers Of the TIMES will furnish
me.
1st. At what time and in what man
ner must the land be prepared?
I'd. Will it pay best to manure? If SO
what manure and in what quantity, and
how applied?
Sd. What kind of lands are best adap-
ted for it
4th. What will be the probable pro-
duction?
5th. Can it be cut more than once the
same season.
9th. When cut what is the best meth
cd for curing and making hay?
7th. Have any of your readers any
experience in the sowing of corn, cutting
and curing it for long forage? If 80

suits through the TINES, and they will

Thoughts and Suggestions for the
M NIOntf,


The cotton crop will demand unre-
mitting attention throughout the month.
Any neglect at this season will tell badly
on it, and cannot be wholly made up af.
forwards. Let the ploughs move briskly,
and the hoes follow. Break out the
middles thoroughly, and leave the whole
ground perfectly clean. If the corn
needs attention. it may be well in some
cases, after running two furrows to each
row, to put the ploughs into the corn
field while the hoes 60 over the crop, re-
tuning and breaking out the middles af-
forwards. Toward the last Of the month,
the ploughs will have to go back into
the cotton again. "Let no grass grow
under your feet" "Chopping out" is all
important process, and the hands should
be we'll Instructed and carefully looked
after during the operation. With a good
stand it is easy to have the lunches left
by the hoe at tolerably equal distances.
so that when the fipal thinning is done

distributed throughout the field. Shall
low cultivation should be the rule; but
the planter must not be the slave of rules,
to the exclusion of common sense and q
constant and vigilant watchfulness, to see
when and where circumstances require q
departure from them. No general rule
can be made to apply to all cases, and
cultivation must often be modified to diff
crcnccs in soil, situation and season.
CORN
Will require its second working early
in the month. Unless the soil be hard
baked, SO as to absolutely require thor
ough and deep breaking up between the
rows, We would work shallow near the
corn. The plough may go deeper in the

any events, the destruction of grass and
weeds must be complete, or we shall have
more hay than corn, and in the wrong
place for hay. IF corn be checked for
want of the proper cultivation or the
presence of grass, at this period of its
growth, it will never fully recover, and
the attempt to root out or cover up the
grass afterwards will result in great DAM
age to the roots and cause the crop to
"fire."

FERTILIZERS.

full observations of the results, and accu-
rate reports next fall. Not only should
one fertilizer be compared with another,
(noting the character of the soil and sea-
son,) but the results of different quaint
ties and medes of application should be
taken account of This is very impor-
tant matter. Tie purchase of fertilizers
is one of the largest items Of expenditure
in improved farming, and what we want
to know is how to make the most out of
it, by buying the manure best adapted to
our soil, and applying in that quantity
and manner calculated to produce the
best results.
DROUGHT.
Look out for drought! We may do
this every season, and shall not look al
together in vain. What can we do about
it? Keep the soil well stirred and our
crops vigorous by clean cultivation. If
the land was properly prepared before
planting, we have the means in our own
hands of protecting our crops against all
moderate droughts. The bad farmers
corn and cotton suffer every year from
drought, or from too much moisture
and generally from both. "Bad luck"
is sure to follow him year by year, and
will continue to follow hin until he shall
mend his ways.
Frequent workings and thorough
pulverization of the soil are particularly
beneficial on heavy. lands. Disintegra
ton favors the decomposition of the or.
ganic mater, rs we'll as the absorption
an@ retention of moisture. Light, loose
soil require no more working than is nec-
essary to keep them free from grass and

get SO much as that, aud that the grow

intended for them, DIS well as of the ferti-

You should carry your head up so high?
Is man to be judged by his money
His coat or the proud name he bears?
Not a bit of it Worth tells the story
So don't go putting on airs
It's long lane that hasn't a turning

Banks may break, and cashiers may skedaddle,
And those who are up may be down.

And turned up their noses-who carcs2

Like mere creatures, but rather like men,
In your hour OF sorrow and trouble
You'll have their sympathy then
Misfortunes they never come singy,
But often in trpets and pairs
You may need the help OF your neighbor--
So don't go putting on airs
And you, my proud, beautiful lady,
With the bloom of the peach on your check,
Who would think it an action disgraceful
To poor working woman to speak
That beauty will fade like flower,
And the bloom that your ladyshp wears,
BE as naught in the eyes Of your Maker
So don't go II putting on airs
The riches Of this world are transient,
And oft of II sudden take wing;
And you never can be very certain
What luck the next moment may bring.
So just take the advice that | give you,
And come down from your perch on the stair!
Don't be afraid of hand that is honest,
And don't go putting on airs

The BELLS THAT Broke AN EXILE's
HEART In the Cathedral of limerick
there hangs chime Of bells which were
cast in Italy by an enthusiast in his trade,
who fixed his home near the monastery
where they were first hung, that he
might enjoy their sweet, solemn music.
In political revolution the bells were
taken away to some distant land, aud
the maker himself became refugee and
exile His wanderings brought him,
after many years, to Ireland On calm
and beautiful evening, as the vessel
which bore him noated on the placid bo-
som of the Shannon, suddenly the even
ing chime pealed forth from the cathe-
dral towers His experienced ear caught
the sweet sounds, and he knew that bis
lost treasures wore found. His carly
home, his friends, his beloved and
native land all the best sociations of
his life, were in those sounds. He laid
himself buck in tho boat, crossed his
arms upon his breast, and listened to
the music The boat had reached the
wharf, but still be lay there silent and
motionless They spoke to him, but he
did not answer They went to him, but
his spirit had fled. The tide Of memo
ries that came vibrating through his
heart at that well-known chime had
snapped its life-strings.

How we Bought.

We had heard Of almost every machine,
Which claimed to be hest that ever was seen.
So we went round one day TO examine them All
And decide which ,eas best for our sewing
that fall
One agent ran much on his noiseless affair,
So quiet you never could know it was there,
And he spun it to show us how gently it
whred-
But IL Heeer had mdde much noise in the ,eorid.
One made stitches like magic, but he never
showed
You could rip them all out just as fast as it
sewed;
Another one talked Of his needle alone,
1t was all in his eye, and it necdlessly shone.
And this had hobby, and that one kink,
Which took with those not accustomed to
think,
But merit was what we were after, you know,
Aud we bought tic HOWE Gecause il could
SEW.
What we claim for the Howe is that
it is an honest machine, not subject TO
its, not constantly getting out of order;
that it will do your work perfectly and
give entire satisfaction. L. EAGLE,

TIyEED,s ACOUITTAI,.

The acqulttal Of Wm. VI. Tweed In New
York yesterday, owing to u failure Of the
jury to agree upon verdict, is nothing more
or less than Disgrace to our courts, to our
civilization and to the country. Here was q
nan whose lines were blaLoned all over the
WORLD who pursued for years a career Of the
most unblushing yillalny and corruption; who
bribed Legislatures and plundered IN the most
barcidccd manner the revenues Of the COM
mcrcial metropolis OF the country; who In
s0!cutly turned upon an outraged people and
askcd them what they could do, walking forth
from court Of sU-called justice with the ln-
GOr,emCut that he has done no wrong, In the
opinion OF twelve men supposed to be honest.
As we said, the spectacle Ia q sad one, and Is
calculated to make every thinking person
Erieyu that such an outrage Is possible in our
Gay and generation.
We do not know who Is responsible. Some
OF our New York contemporaries are inclined
to blame the prosecution, the grand jury aud
the gentlemen who arc responsible for the
delay Of his trial. Others severely inculpate
the Judge. We do not know how II Is, and
VIC scarcely care. All that we know Is that a
great criminal goes unwhipt Of justice aud
that doubtless we shall have this monster
COrruptlOnist in short time as strong and
powerful as ever he was. The lesson Of his
acIuittal, whoever is responsible for IT, Is
one Of de noralization and judicial disgrace.
It meaus the greater the criminal the greater
the glory.
