have named one, and will state another.
Every seed depends wholly on the nu-
triment contained In itself to develop a
germ up to the point of forming green
leaves IN the light of day, to decompose
carbonic acid and assimiIate its carbon.
a small seed covered with several
inches of soil has not food enough to do
this preliminary work, and the
young plant dies before it isfairly born.
Where n does not care to save seed
it often pays to crowd seed to the square
yard, as in forming meadows and pas
lures, and even in raising oats, millet
and barley and corn. Much, however,
depends on the strength of the land
and it's preparation before seeding. A
farmer needs above all business men
sDund and enlightened Judgment and
experience to avoid mistakes in his
profession. He can apply a profound
knowledge of rocks and geology to the
cheap Improvement of his fields, pro-
vided his knowledge Of farming is not
defective. An acquaintance with chem
istry and c~limatology will be very use-
full, if not coupled with ignorance In
some essential part of husbandry.
The vitality in a seed may be weaken
ed and injured in many ways, without
wholly destroying it. Many threshing
machines beat seed wheat so violently
as to crack and otherwise damage the
germs without killing them. 1t is like
mutilating breeding animals, deform-
ing them and propagating deformed
stock. The use of imperfect seed, un-
wisely planted, is probably the greatest
defect in American agriculture. Life,
whether dormant in a seed or egg,
growing feebly or vigorously, in a
plant or animal, is a curious affair. 1t
has given existence to the interesting
science of animal aad vegetable physi-
which applies directly to every
product of the farm. Thick and thin
seeding turn on question of hereditary
vitality-breedin upward or downward.
In a word, reading and science with
put practice and experience in agricul-
ture avail but little for improvement
the arts of tillage. seeding and feed
ing hungry soils and crops. Theory,
study and practice must grow up to-
as parts of n vital system.
In no other way al farmers generally
prevent the deterioration of all seeds,
such as wheat, cotton, corn, oats, pota-
5oes and tobacco. By bad conduct or
nisfortuRes, We see some families Of
mankind run out. Our domestic ami
mails and cultivated plants exhibit the
'ame phenomenon, and from similar
,auses. If we deal with vitality in
leeds, in fruit trees, in eggs and chick
ms, in hogs and other stock, let us
Itudy this life.

ATHENS, ALA.
The Great FIood-And saiEI IL Ralns-
r Destruction OF Property,


To the Union and American:
ATHENS, Ala, April IA, 1s74.-Still il
rains, and from present appearances there
is little prospect Of it holding up until
"Gabriel blows his horn and commands
the flood gates to be closed. 1t commenced
raining here day before yesterday morning.
and has been pouring down with unceasing
energy ever since. From all parts of the
country reports reach MS to the effect that
great damage is being done, and especially
in river and creek bottoms. Houses,
fences, live stock, etc, are being carried
away in the destructive food that threat
ems to overflow The entire country. The
like has never been seen before in
the history of this country. Our
once beautiful streets are nothing but mud
and slush, and it is almost impossible for
one to navigate them. Much excitement
was caused to-day by the washing away of
Town Greek bridge, about half a mile west
OF this city. This elegant structure was
built at the expense Of the city, and its
cost was considerable. Every precau-
ton was taken by the proper au-
thorities to save il, but in vain. In
the very moment they thought it most
secure il fell and was swallowed
up blythe remorseless food and swept away.
We are confident that our newly elected
city fathers will emulate the example of
their predecessors and build a new bridge.
We are unable to give the faintest concep-
ton as to the real amount of damage dom
by these heavy rains, as the creeks are all
full, and a great many who have sustained
more or less loss are prevented from coming
to town. The smallest estimate that can
be put on it however will reach many thou
sand dollars, not including the loss of our
REX.

FIRE In BRISTOL.
Kane Block and other Buildings
COnsuned-The Losses.

EAaue BLOCK and other BNtfdtnSS
COnsuned-The Losses.
From the Knoxville Chronicle.
BRISTOL. Tenn, April II, 2:20 P. NJ.
-Kane's block on Main street, occu-
pied by Undertake & Co., "New York
Stole," and Mrs. Scales, milliner, and
DR.. Scales, dentist, was burned at two
o'clock this morning. Also a large
dwelling adjacent. Other buildings
were saved only by the remarkable dar-
ing of Capt. Conway and young Finch
and thurman. Fortunately rain began
to fall just as the fire got under under
Roadway. Kane's loss amounts to
$1,000 and Undertakes $1,000. The
latter is covered by insurance in the
Lynchburg Company. The buildings
were not insured. 1t is supposed to be
the work of an incendiary.
From the Knoxville Press and Herald, April Is.
About 1870 O'Clock, yesterday morn
ing, a f1e broke out in Bristol, which
ragged with destructive fury for two.
hours, totally destroying two buildings
ON Main street. The fire was first dis
covered in a large two story frame
building, the lower part of which was
occupied as the New York Store" by
'Messrs. Timberlake & Co. Two fami-
lies lived in the residence portion Ofthe
building and occupied the rooms over
the store. The entire building was
completely destroyed, and of the stock
Of goods nothing ut all was saved. The
two families succeeded in saving their
household effects. Mr.. Timberlake was
sleeping in the store at the time, and
barely succeeded in escaping with his
life. The building belonged to Mr.
Henry S. Kane. The flames communi-
Gated to an adjoining residence, owned
by Mr.. J. l.. Bnrson, which was also
completely destroyed, but the furniture
and household effects were saved.
The adjacent buildings were for a
time in dangers also, but theherOie work
of the citizens who were promptly on
the scene and used every exertion to
conquer the flames, prevented further
destruction. DR.. Scales residence, and
his wife's millinery store, in the same
building, were emptied of their con
tents, but the house did not burn.
Messrs. j. B. Dunn & Co., general store,
removed their stock, as did other firms
in the block.
The loss Of Messrs. Timberlake &CO.,
was not definitely announced, but is
believed to be about covered by $4,000
insurance on their stock. Mr.. Kane's
loss in the building is about $1,000, and
Mr.. Burson's loss about $1,000, neither
Of whom. it is understood, were insured.
Messrs. Dunn & Co. lost between $500
and 81, 900 in the hasty removal and
consequent damage to goods. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

FARM AND GARDEN.
NORFIIERN PACIFIC LANDS.

q
Gen Hazzen, writing to the New
York Tribune about the lands of the
Northern Pacific railway, says: Re-
speeding the agricultural value of this
country, after leaving the excellent
wheat-growing valley of the Red river
of the North, following westward 1,600
miles to the Sierras, excepting the very
limited bottoms of the small streams,
as well as those of the Missouri and
Yellowstone, from a few yards in
breadth to an occasional water-washed
valley of one or two miles, and
the narrow valleys Of the streams
of Montana already settled, and
a small area of timbered coun-
try in Northwest Idaho-proba-
bly, one-fftieth of the whole-this
country viii not produce the fruits
and cereals of the East for want of
moisture, and can in no way be artif-
cially irrigated, and viii not, in our day
and generation, sell for one penny an
acre, except through fraud and igno-
rance; and most of the land here ex-
eepted viii have to be irrigated artii-
cially. 1 write this knowing full well
that it will meet with contradiction,
but the contradiction VIII be falsehood.
1t is amazing to what an extent
frauds have been successfully perpe-
trated on a too oonfding public in the
matter of lands and railroads. There
is but one remedy for evils of this char
acter, and that is the enlightenment of
the masses.

Miss CAROLINE RIMMER, a daughter of
DIR. Rimmer, a sculptor and art professor Of
some local celebrity in Boston. has made a
model in clay, said to be her fist work,
representinga an angry cook into whose kiteh-
en- the mistress Of the house has en-
tered for the audaciOus purpose of CRITICS
ing some of Biddy's doings. The choice
OF such a subject by a young woman for a
first effort in art shows a tendency far from
ideal; but it must be accepted as a comment
on our society, and shows how deeply the
iron has entered into the souls o ( Amer
lean women. Nevertheless we stand up for
Biddy, and declare our belief that the scene
Miss Rimmer has described in clay is of so
rare occurrence as to make it unjust TO per
petuate it.
