The Asatic cholera, heretofore reported in
New Orleans, is travelling up the Mississippi,
and Is now in Memphis, Tenn. 1t also prevails
in towns along the river below Memphis. 1t
has existed in the latter city for ten days. On
Its first appearance there it was pronounced by
physicians to be "cholera morbus" or "malarial
fever" but they are now reporting it as ''spor-
adic" and 'Asiatic" cholera. Its ravages have
been chiefly among the colored anil laboring
classes, and there being no organized Board Of
Health in Memphis, the percentage OF fatal
cases is not accurately known. The physicians
say that, ii promptly attended to, the disease
yields to treatment. Among the latest victims
are George Moore of the Memphis Il Louisville
Transfer Company, and Henry Hudson, U. s.
Attorney for Western Tennessee.

CUTTING GRASS FOR HAY have long
been satisfied that many, if not most of our far
mrrs allow their clover and timothy to stand
too long to obtain the greatest possible benefit
from the hay, and that many Of them cut the
timothy too c.ose to the ground, and by 50 de-
ing injure their fu ure crops for small gain in
their present one. Timothy is dubious root
ed plant, and depends for its Increase after be-
ing cu., on the formation Of small bulbs by the
side Of and around the parent one. These bulbs
are OF very slow formation, and hence timothy
forms very little second crop pasture. 1t cut
below the lower joints many of the bulbs will
| be destroyed. Some are of the opinion that If
| allowed TO become too ripe the bulbs are less
| likely to sprout again. do not think practice
| will uphold this idea, for all know that when
| timothy is allowed to become entirely ripe, in
order TO mature the seed, such plots will make
a larger second growth than adjoining portions
moved two weeks sooner for hay. believe
the true reason of this is that when the timothy
Is cut for seed II Is done either with cradle or
reap2r, and consequently high stubble is left,
| or in other words, having been cut above the
lower joint, it is enabled to form side bulbs,
| and send up more vigorous second crop. J.
shall test the question further this harvest and
| will report results. By cutting our hay sooner
| we may lose in bulk, but am satisfied that the
increase in quality will more than make up FOL
the loss in quantity. Clover eau be cut TO ad-
vantage when one-half the stalks are out IL
head, and timothy Just before it comes ouuin full
blossom, or before the seed has even formed
A trial of a plot of ground will convince any
one that the early cut is the most relished b!
stock, and that it will do the most good. II il

THE Use OF PLAsTEg.--W. L. Early wrote
the Farmers Club ofNew York City, oEce, the |
following sensible statement of tile use and |
value Of land plaster or gypsum:-"Plaster acts !
as a condenser Of the ammonia OF the atmos-
phere and Of the soil. Plaster of Paris Is COM
posed OF sulphuric acid and lime. A bushel Of
this substance, iii acted as a manure. would
clearly exert but very small effect upon an
acre OF land by Its chemical action upon plants,
or by entering into combination In the growth
of crops. BY observation, however, 1t is con-
Guided that Plaster of Paris acts as q condenser
of ammonia, which is found in the atmosphere
and In all soils to limited extent-that 1t holds
this most subtle and powerful manure in Its
grasp, fixes 1t aud gives 1t out to the growth of
plants as they require 1t, instead of allowing
tile ammonia to pass away and remain untixed
and unadapted to plant growth.
"There are few phenomena which seems
to me to fully establish the fact that this is the
tru3 explanation Of the action Of plaster That
only certain amount will act. Thus a BUSH
cl TO the acre, sown upon clover field, acts as
well as fifty bushels showing that it does not
act as manure, as stimuant, or gastric
juice, or In any other manner analogous to any
of these agencies
"Sow a fed with plaster in clover, or any
other grass leaving out breadth, or In plaster
| ing crop of tobacco-as have frequently seen
| 1t cone-leaving few rows without the appli
| cation, and the result will be hat, while the
parts Of the crop to which the plaster Is applied
will be fourishiug and green, those on which
no plaster Is put will be yellow and worthless,
indeed greatly inferior to what they would have
been had no plaster been placed In the adjacent
parts Of the field.
"How can this be explained except upon the
hypothesis that the plaster draws from the at
mosphere passing over II part Of its fertiliLing
properties and retains 1t from the Use of the
plants in proximity to 1t, while those portions
where there is no plaster do not thus derive
this greater share from the atmosphere?
"Again, SOW upon q dunghill, steaming AM
giving OF ammonia, a quantity of plaster
enough--it will stop the escape Of gas. Wal
awhile, until The plaster sown becomes satura
ted with the gas, and it will again begin to es
cape. Put on plaster again, and It will stop
and so ON until all the ammonia Is taken up and
| fixed.
Take Peruvian guano, whose great feitiliz
ing property is anu onia, mix plaster with II Ii
proper quantity, and it will become inodorous

iAi'e which gives oil ammonia.

g pools, in all animal and vegetable manures, b,
II the escape Of ammonia, which constitutes b.
o far the richest part of all manures. Plaster {
Paris may be most profitably employed in fl,
i, ing this volatile and most valuable ingredien
II to the great profit of the farmer and public"
