in Eastern markets, made away i'm the

This flour is heavy bodied, and of such
consistency that when thrown into the
air it does not fly Off in particles. but
descends into the hand i'm mass. 1t
requires one.third more water i'm mix
ing than in ordinary flour, and in
kneading it into dough more labor is
required. The bread, it is claimed,
will remain fresh for long time. The
yield to the bushel of grain is not
known. 1t is claimed that by the new

in Minnesota thatspring wheat can be
made into the highest price flour. and
that the same can be done with other
kinds of wheat. There are now about
twenty mills in Minnesota i'm which
the new machinery has been intro
duced. The owner of the patent was
recently in Baltimore negotiating for
the formation of stock company to

Salt as a Fertilizer.

Many experiments have been made
to test the value of salt as a manure,
and the following is summary of the
results:
"Salt should never be applied other
than in a pulveriZed state, and never
be employed on imperviOus, cold and
humid soils. The best manner to use
IL is to combine il with other manures,
a dose Of 200 weight 10 the acre beng
sufficient. When to destroy insects, it
should be applied before sunrise. In
the case of cereals, salt strengthens the
stems and causes the ears to fill better,
and favors the dissolution and assimi-
lation Of the phosphates and silicates,
1t acts vigorously on potatoes; it can
be detected i'm their ashes to the extent
of One-half of one per cent, Asparagus
is a veritable glutton in the presence of
salt. A dose of 800 lbs. per acre acts
without fail on beets, injuring its value
for sugar purposes, but enhancing it for
the feeding Of cattle. Cola has marked
a prediction for salt in asparagus, and
i'm Holland, where the culture Of peas
is 50 extensive, salt is something like q
necessity
So far rs we are from the salt air and
vapOr Of the ocean, one can always ap-
ply any refuse salt and that which is
pure if cheap, TO the dung heap, as was
the practice in the days of the Apostles.
A manure that has stood the test OF
thirty centuries, or from Abraham to
Grant, deserves more attention.

NuleSyS, Horses.

A correspondence of the weekly Inter-
Ocean, iua late number of that paper,
alludes to an article headed " Motive
Power of the Farm in which the
writer holds the idea that mules can be
raised or bought cheaper than horses,
and says: / think he has not been
long in the business very extensively,
or he would not advance any such
ideas. He says a good team of horses
will cost $500 | admit we can buy n
very good team of farm horses for one-
third less. Now, sir, my experience
in that matter is almost directly the
reverse Of that. A good team of mules
can not be bought much short of $500,
and from that up to 5000. admit the
cost of keeping the teams does not diff
fer materially. While a horse team
require, NOR grain than a mule team,
a mule team requires more hay, so
that makes the cost about equal. There
Is no doubt but that a mule will last
longer than a horse, with the same
kind of treatment, but whether the
difference in the price will pay, is a
matter of taste. So far as my expert
ence goes, ! prefer using a good team
of horses, There are exceptions to all
general rules, but mules are generally
stubborn, selfish, and hard to manage,
treacherous and vicious, but so far as
raising teams for sale, think there is
more profit in raising mules than
horses. For farming purposes, give
me good, lively team of from ] 200 to
! 400 pound horses, and your Country
Gentleman may have his mules. Al
though mules may live little longer
| will have more satisfaction working
horses while they do live, and am not
running as much risk in getting the
head kicked off me.-RUFdI Sun.

MIXED SCHOOLS.
Randall Brown TO Make speech
Against thai Feature of the civil
Rights Bill.

Randall Brown TO Make n speech
AgHinSi thai Feature OF the civil
Rights BiIi,
Randall Brown, colored formerly
County Commissioner of Davidson, but
late of Washington City, visited the Capitol
yesterday, TO obtain statistics with refer
ence to the colored schools of the State.
He found from the records in the Office of
the State Superintendent of Instruction
that there were five hundred and eighty
nine coored schools and six hundred and
thirty-nine colored teachers in Tennessee.
He expressed himself rs greatly surprised
at the very large number of colored
schools and teachers. He had been led to
believe that there were not more than one
hundred of each, and had so stated it in his
speeches. AS long as the colored people
were so thoroughly provided with schools
and teachers of his own race, he did not
want any mixing. The civil rights bill is Il
very foolish measure, and the action of the
late Colored State Convention was iniudic-
ious, udwise and without due considera-
ton. II ought neither to have been held
nor to have promulgated the ideas it did.
Time would bring about matters to their
satisfaction, but they could not force them.
He intends making a speech against that
feature Of the civil rights bill relating to
mixed schOols.-NayhriNe Banner

to have known. He (Thornburgh)
had never prided himself in being the
hero of the Battering Ram District
but he would plead guilty to the soft
impeachment. At the earnest solicl.
tatlon of Republican leaders, he as
sumed to lead this forlorn hope, when
no Republican in the district would do
the like. He took up the standard
not only Of the workingmen, but of
the Republican party, for that party
has ever been the workingman's par
ty. Leaving good business, as he
believed in the interests of the coun-
try, he did not think it reasonable
thar he should be discarded
after having rescued the District from
an overwhelming Democratic majority.
When fair Republican majority was
in his favor he should have first
place.
As tn the intimation that Mr.. Rule
would lose his official head, he would
say there was no danger of that. Mr..
r.. is a Christian gentleman, who
needs no defense at his hands--is

Hoo. j. " Thorujurgh:
DEAR SIR: In response to your note If
this date, l have to say, that in the month
of January, 1873, had business in Nash.
vile ard had frequent conversations with
Judge Houk then in the Legislature, on
the subject of what is known as the fund
ing bill. He read me somewhat vOlumin-
Gus brief which he had prepared, in which
he took decided grounds against the bill
and said that when it came up for action in
the House, he was going to make Il speech
against it. Among the reasons he gave for
opposing the bill, was, that, to fund the
debt would add more than quarter of q
million annually to our interest account and
that the payers We're in no condition to
bear it, He was very decided in his re-
marks, and stated that he could make ten
thousand dollors by favoring the bill then
before the Legislature, but he was not GO
ing to change.

You have all heard abog. the funding

our bonds. Then they demanded interest,

Our State warrants went unpaid. Our

sympathy for them. But when the rich
boud-holders from New York came with
their unpaid coupons, the legislature said
we must 6lIid these and pay these Eastern
