MILDEW ON VINES.

From investigations made at the Depart
ment of Agriculture by Mr.. Thomas Tay-
Tor, who is conducting microscopic inyes-
tigatiOn on fungoids, or mildew, we learn
that a preparation of csrbolic acid soap,
used as wash, is a means CT preventing
and destroying these minute parasites. A
solution of sulphuret of lime or carbolic
soap destroys the seedspores. Mr.. Taylor
found that the grapes might be trimmed
ever so closely, still enough of the seed is
left TO develop rapidly wherever heat was
applied sufficient to start them into vegeta-
ton. 1t was fouEd that dry heat developed
the European mildew (ErySiphe Tuckeri)
very rapidly, and that moist heat was fav-
orable to the growth of the American MIL
dew (BOtrytjS Uiiic0la). The trimmings
and leaves Of vines in grape-houses should
be gathered up and burned, and it appears
that the vines when trimmed should be
washed carefully with the solution of sui
phuret of lime and csrbolic acid, and thus
the spread Of mildew may be materially
checked.

FACTS AROUT FENCES.

The difference IN cos between fencing
all the land in an agricultural count and
only that portion devoted to pasturage is
IN menga. 1t has been proved by statistics,
beyond all doubt, thst it costs $50 4 head
20 build the fences Of The country, which is
really more than cattle on an average are
worth. It is easy for g farmer to make cal
culstiCns for himself. Let him consider
the expense Of foDc8g on a mile square, and
the value of the cattle, and il viii be seen
at CnCe that the fences cost far more than
the cattle will sell Tor, ami in many cases
where grain is grown ten to twenty times
as much. No wonder that farmers
are poor, and they work all their
lives for less money than any other
class, for In 10 other pursui. is there such
frighttul psr cent. of )ss g in fencing. Out
of this loss and out Of the gains made by
middlemen, come the necessity for child
rem growing up in ignorance, wives wear
ing out prcmaturely, and the whole bust
ness of agriculture being looked upon as uu-
suited 20 smart, ambitious young men.-
-Ne,g York Tribune.
Young men who are ambitious If not
smart are studying agricultural problems
with fair prospect of reaching a satisfactory
solution. At least half Of the fence expeL Sc
will be dispensed with, by soiling stock, and
raising fewer and better animals.

THE AMERICAN DESERT.

After prsising in strong terms the east
ern part OF Kansas for farming purposes, q
correspondent of the Prairie Farmer says
the western part has not been so well test
ed, because it has not been settled, "but
there is absolutely nothing in the appear
ance of any part of this 'Great American
Desert to indicate its unftnass for stock
growing. The native grasses are nutritious
and abundant, and the springs and
streams afford ample water fer
stock" Herds are increasing rapidly.
Cattle two-!hirds grown in Texas, may be
finished Off in Kansas and Missouri, mainly
on grass, but partly on corn meal, ready
for the shambles. This kind of husbandry
viii soon attain immense proportions in the
west and southwest, reaching from the Gulf
TO the l. cky Nountains-in time covering
a large part Of Mexico. Tennessee farmers
should go in for grass and fine stock to meet
the growing wants OF q continent.

CHOLERA IN GREENEVILLE.

From the hnoXy lie Chronicle.
GREENEyILLE, July S, 7 P. M.-Matters
are so much improved with US that we be-
gin to breathe more easy. There has been
but one death since my dispatch last might,
Jerry McMerter, colored, an old man. Most
OF the other cases are improving. Only
two or three new cases to-day and they
seem light.
Five or six families have returned and
others expect to do so in few days. We
consider the worst SIS having passed.
In my dispatch in this mornings ChrOni-
Gle you make ne say ''Mrs. Johnna But
Ter, when it should have been 'B-itton. y
l have just learned of the death of John
RUble, brother to the one that was bur
led with his wife and child in one grave on
June II. This one, John, left here after
his brothers. death for Whitesburg, where
be died at the house Of his mother-in. law.
This makes A deaths in and about our
town since June IL.
The atmosphere hare for the last two
days has been much more pure than for a
long time. 1t really seems refreshing.

MANURE FE0In ONE ROWE,

Lewis Wright, the well-known English
poultry writer, says that in one instance
the droppings of four Brahma fowls in one
night weighed exactly one pound; in al
other instance Is ounces. The average
was 3! ounces per bird, but which was re-
duced by drying to II ounces. On basis
of ole ounce TO each fowl, the amount per
year will be 22a pounds, and for a flock OF
90 head ], 40 pounds. He pronounces the
manure equal to gusno, and better in some
respects; but counting it as worth only $50
per ton, the manure from so fowls will be
worth S25 per annum, or fifty cents per
head. This estimate is not probably any
too high, and is worth remembering by
those who keep poultry, or who prop: Sc 10
do so.
1t should also be remembered that this
estimate is merely for the night droppings;
and takes no account of the value of what
is made in the daytime. Much of this last,
no doubt, is lost by exposure, but judicious
management of poultry yards by breeders
bent on saving everything possible would
probably result in devising 4 mode for util-
izing most of it.

FARM AND GARDEN.
WHEN TO sow CLOVER.

We find the following inquiry in the
Union City Courier:
"One Of our correspondents asks what is
the most successful method of sowing
clover in the fall or winter upon land from
which a crop of wheat and oats had been
cut the same year. VIII some of our good
farmers give the desired inf0rmstion?"
Clover seed, if sown before February, is
aps to fail by the action Of frost in killing
the small, tender plants soon after germi-
nation. From the middle of February to
the first of March is the best time in the
climate of Middle or West Tennessee. If
q crop of wheat or oats has been grown,
the field should be plowed and narrowed
before sowing clover seed. If the ground
is in good order and light, the first rain will
cover the seed sufficiently.

APPLES as 4 PREVENTIVE OF
CHOLERA

Edmund Osborne, Greentown, Indiana,
writes to the Northeastern Farmer: ga
few years ago, rather by accident than 9TH
erwise, a part Of my hogs got into the
orchard, and as l found they were doing g
good work in picking up the windfsll apples,
l allowed them to remain there. During
the season all those that were not in the
orchard had the cholera, and more or less
of them died, while those in the orchard
something like one-third Of the whole lot
we're thrifty and healthy all the season,
none of them dying with any disease, and
that, too, with nothing bat fence between
the two lots Of hogs"
There is no doubt that, in its season,
fruit is conducive to the health of animals,
especially to such gross feeders as swine.
So lar as it promotes general health it SIS
sists the system in throwing off disease,
but it can scarcely be regarded as q pre-
ventive or specific cure for any particular
omplaint.-NatiOnd! Lire Stock Journal.

THE CATTLE SHOW AT VIENNA.

The printed catalogue describes 2,640
animals On exhibition at Vienna, from diff
ferent nations, distributed as follows: Cat
tie, 1867; sheep, ], AS; hogs, 278; miscella-
neous, II. In this field Americans do 10.
compete. DR.. Warder, correspondent Of
the Prairie Farmer, says the famous short
horns of EnglIn1 are well represented.
Choice animals Of this breed have all been
sod, so that English breeders have been paid
for their enterprise. Holland and Swift
erland had fine dairy cows on exhibition.
This is growing interest in Europe as
well as in America. The following re-
marks on sheep will interest some of our
readers who appreciate this useful animal:
"The exbibitionof these useful and gen.
tie animals is larger and more comprehen-
sive in varieties than ! have ever before
seen. Here we have lODg-wOOls, mid
dle-woOls and shoTt-wOols, coarse woods
and fine woods Of every degree; here are
sheep that have been bred especially for
their fieeCes, even at the expense Of their
bodies and Of their physical develop.
ment; and here, too, are splendid represen-
tatives Of the finest races OF mutton sheep.
Besides which, there are individuals Of
several original native breeds, such as are
rarely met with, and which, except for
their picturesqueness in the landscape, need
not be preserved. These may receive h re
a passing notice. The Bsrgamot, from
Italy, are large AMI long-legged, but their
most striking features consist in their long,
dropping ears and Roman noses. Another
breed, called RhODe, were white, with jet
black faces aid black horns, the carcass in
different and the fleece coarse-simply or
nSmen al. The SCibenburger race were of
medium size, without horns and with very
long, coarse wool. The Wallacbian sheep,
shown by Prince Saze-C0Uurg .Gotha, are
the most remarkable for their long, straight,
wide spread horns, with peculiar twist,
seen in some pictures"

they may until winter, when they are taken
TO the barn and put into some little back
hoVel, with nothing but lay, until spring;
or, as have often seen, turned into 3
stack. In either case they are, when spring
comes, so stunted and poor that they make
a slow growth ever afterwsrd. Conse-
queutly, when selling time comes, the
farmer finds his stock far behind in size
and price of bis neighbors who cared well
for their calves. One instance of this came
within my knowledge. Some steers raised
as above sold for SIS, while those of
neighbor, which had been well cared for
while young, sold readily at S25. The quail
ity of the stock of the former was fully
equal TO the latter to start with.-Cor-

VARIED DIEF FOR FOWLS.

There are no animals more omniYorous
than fowls; fish, flesh, herbs, and graius
being devoured by them with equal relish.
We say equal, FIR though they commonly
pounce upon meat " it'll greater avidity thar
grain, this is generally because it affords 8
rarity, and a flock kept for awhile almost
entirely OF animal food will show the same
greed for few hsndfuls Of corn.
The fondness for variety shown by fowls
is as significant Of real needs as we have
found ito be in ourselves. In purVeying
for them, a judcious variety, selected from
the three general diVisions-freSh vegetables,
grain, and animal foods at all seasons
absolutely necessary for the young and cid
in order TO make them perfectly thrifty.
True, they will not starve on hard corn and
water; neither will they pay profit so kept.
