STEALING HEAVENS LIvERY.-The
great Alcoholless Remedy, VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, is everywhere driving pestiferous
rum potions out Of the market That IA
nous combination of the finest medicinal
herbs on the continent of America is ac-
complishing such cures of diseases which
affect the stomach, the liver, the bowels,
the kidneys and the nervous system, that
the grateful masses have adopted it as
their Standard Specific. The various rum
bitters have gone down before this pure
vegetable antidote like tenpins before a
well-aimed ball. The people have at
length discovered that all the spirituous
excitants are worse than shams-that both
morally and incidentally they are mimi
cal to the well-being and safety of the
community. 1t soon't do. The handwrit-
ing is on the wall. They are weighed and
found wanting. Rum remedies are de
funct, and VINEGAR BITTERs, THE UNI
vERsAI. ANTIDoTE, reigns in their stead.

decided advantage. When the subsoll Is
poorer, the blowing may still be advan-
tageously deepened by degrees, say
an inch at each new breaking up But
in a majority Of cases, deep piowlng
may be, practiced at once-indeed, 1t may
be the rule with safety, while shallow
blowing may be the exception On most
farms it will be safe to pillow say nine, ten,
eleven or twelve inches deep IN sNovem-
ber The subsoil turned up will grow
several shades darker by spring The
frost and atmospheric influence OF winter
will mellow the soil. Inorganic elements
and all the latent fertility will be made
more active for benefting the crop. In
the spring spread the manure and pillow it
in, or otherwise work it in or mingle it
with the soil to the depth, say of four
inches, or little more or less, and you
have the best attainable condition for pro-
ducing good crops. Deeper blowing may
thus be practiced than would at all times
be safe and expedient, if the blowing
be delayed till spring. If you have man
ure in autumn, apply it on the surface
after the ground is plowed, and harrow it
ill.,. 1t is not good practice to cover
manure in the bottom of deep burrows.
Manure should always be kept near the
surface of the ground. But the sooner it
can be covered with a little soil the small
er the loss will be by evaporation.
One of the chief advantages of blowing
land in late autumn is that the weather is
then cool and bracing, and the team strong
and hearty for the work while the weather
in the spring is ore~relaxing and the
team less able; and the spring work be
ing always hurrying, it saves time to dis
patch as much of the blowing as possible
during the previous autumn. Now is a
proper time to review the plans and oper-
atoms of the farm and to decide what
fields or plots of ground ought to be brok-
en- up at once, and which may remain to
be plowed in late autumn.-Neu York

How to Keep Eggs.

The following is an extract from an ar.
ticle on this subject published editorially
in the london, England) Farmer:
For storing eggs very good plan is TO
have a large board pierced with holes in
regular lows. Many breeders keep them
in bran; and this latter method is, per
haps, best, for those meant only to be eat
en-, but for sitting hens the pierced board
has many obvious conveniences They
should be always kept with the large end
downwards. This direction being exact
ly contrary to that usually given, we
should state that our attention was first
called especially to the subject by most
intelligent lady, who advocated this plan,
alleging as the probable reason of its SUI
periority, keeping eggs ON the small end
appears to me to cause the air bubble to
spread, detaching it from the shell, or "a
ther from its membranous lining, and
after being so kept for a fortnight the air
bubble will be found to be much spread,
and the eggs to have lost much vitality,
though still G ,od for eating She then
described her success the other way, add
ing: Owing to this method of storing,
such thing as a stale egg has never been
known in my house; and as regards sue
cess IN Matching for several seasons, when
L was able to attend to my poultry myself,
OF many broods set every egg produced a
chick" We were by no means hasty in
adopting or recommending this plan, but
after careful observation and comparison
TOR two seasons, have proved indisputa-
bly,, that both for eating or setting, eggs
do keep much better the large end down.
There Is, after a week, a marked differ
ence IN eggs kept in the two positions as
regards the spreading of the air-bubble-
which is well known to affect both the
freshness for eating, and vitality for set
ting, OF stored eggs-and after three weeks
the difference can be discerned even by
the taste alone. It will, of course, matter
little which mode is adopted, provided the
eggs are used for either purpose within a
short time; but the longer kept, the more
the difference from the two positions in
creases, and While eggs stored with the
small end down cannot be depended upon
after fortnight to produce more than "A
proportion of chickens, those kept in the
way we now advocate will keep perfectly
good for Matching month, or even more.

The Air!csS MOsn.

Among the illusions swept away by
modern science was the pleasant fancy
that the moon was habitable globe,
like the earth, its surface diversified
with seas, lakes, continents, and islands
and varied forms of vegetation. The
ologians and SdU6nts gravely discussed
the probabilities of its being Inhabited
by race of sentient beings, with
forms and faculties like our own, and
even propounded schemes for opening
communication with them, in case
they existed. One of these was to
construct on the broad highlands of
Asia a series of geometrcal figures on
a scale 50 gigantic as to be visible from
our planetary neighbor, on the suppo-
sition that the moon people would
recognize the object, and Immediately
construct similar figures in reply !!
EXtravagant and absurd as it may ap-
pear in the light of modern know
ledge, the establishment of this Ter
restI al and Lunar Signal Service
Bureau was treated as q feasible
scheme, although practical difficulties,
which so often keep men from making
fools of themselves, stood in the way
OF actual experiment; but the dis

GAME TO TIE LAST.

Upon a subject whereon Bristol
has everything staked, the Knox
vile CHRONICLE Of last Friday thus
discourseth:
"Some of the Memphis papers have
got up a big railroad war on paper, in
which Gen. Malone and Tom Scott
are the contending parties. The Led
ger thinks as matters now stand;
d" Malone can dictate his own terms
at Bristol, and is, in fact, on the ag-
gressive. He has caused suit to he

the East Tennessee roads from trans
ferring a majority of the stock 10 the

tcrests are at stake, aud each side is
preparing for the final contest with
desperate energy and nerve" Ma
hone will fluid " debating his own
terms an uphill" business. Tom
Scott has the reputation of fixing
things sometimes himself"
Now we have some faint recol~
lection that Goliah was finally
worsted by STRIPPING called David,
that Napoleon was rather checked
up at Waterloo, that proud and
opulent England failed to "tix
things" in America somewhere to-
ward the close of the last century,
and that a Tennessee hoosier named
Jackson, with his old cob pipe
smoked Mich Biddle and Others
from beneath the United States
Bank. We may have been misin-
formed about these matters, but
unless the CHRONICLE can correct
US, VIC take courage. Mr.. Scott
may not be inyincible.
