rectly to the seed, sometimes destroy
their terminating power.

SAaSAA SSA HO"SAs
QUANTITY OF SEED FOR AN ACRE.
If pains are taken to drill the seed
7'eg,tlarIy, one bushel of good seed is
ample for acre. More than that is
Objectionable, often causing the young
plants 10 die from being crowded too
much. One who has never used a
tsplanter," will be sure to SOW them too
thickly upon first trial. The wheel of
a "planter'' pressing against the bot
tom ofthe furrow, makes Il narrow firm
drill, "a decided advantage) in which
the seeds are thrown very close to-
gether and as they come up, very
readily break any crust which may
form over them. 1t is best to cover
them not exceeding ttro inches in depth.
One inch is enough.
FORAGE CROPS.
CORN, SORGHUM AND HIlLLEr.
a little land very highly manurcd,
may be very profitably devoted to
these crops-nonc will pay better.
When the land is properly prepared,
little after cultivation is required, be-
cause these plants soon grow so rapidly
as to smother out all other growth. AS
soon as cotton planting is over, these
may be estarted-if delayed, hot summer
droughts may retard growth. This
is true OF corn particularly the other
two plants stand dry weather better.
Sow in drills 2! or feet apart. Corn,
; bushels per acre-sorghum, one bushel
-millet, half bushel. Cover the
last two quite shallow, as the seeds are
small and the plants not very vigorous
at first. Plough and hoe as you would
cotton until they get well started-they
will then take care of themselves.
CRAB GRASS.
This terrible enemy to our summer
crops, may be made extremely valua-
bic either for soiling purposes or for
hay. A piece OF land planted in corn
last year, if nanureGl well and broken
up and narrowed during this month
and once early in the next, so as to
destroy the weeds, will be densely
covered with this grass. When cut at
the right time and properly cured, it
makes q hay greatly superior to the
coarse, harsh stuff now imported so
largely from the north. If the land is
rich and the seasons propitious, and the
grass is cut Just as 1t IS ia bloom, Il
second and sometimes even a third
crop of hay may be obtained in one
season.
SWEET POTATOES.
When the root itself-not the slip
is planted, they should be put in the
ground as soon as possible. The secret
of potato culture, is to have the land
thoroughly pulverized before planting,
giving only surface cultivation after
wards. Ashes and woods earth, the
best manure. We have used ammo
mated dissolved bones also with mark
ed success, applying it in the drill as
for cotton. Land intended for slips
should be ploughed at intervals until
they are set out, so that no grass or
weeds may get foot-hold on it.

During the recent session, we had oc-
casiOn to note numerous instances
when members OF the Legislature ho,r'-
W understood Tie meaning cf Me acts
uoou ,chich hey rotet1. There were
some bills which actually passed, dur
ing the excitement attendant on the
closing scenes of the Legislature of
1874, which, perhaps, might have been
revised and amended, had time pcr-
mitted. But they were taken up "hcie-
safe, because there was no other chance,
at that time, to pass good bills, unless
some of the weeds, tho worthless bills,
were thereto attached and could not be
disunited. If there be any bill especial
ly Objectionable among those passed
during the last session, our readers cam
not and must not attribute blame to
our Representative. Few persons can
realize the artluous duties of q member
OF the House of Representatives. lie
is expected to endorse tho peculiar
views of each of his constituents: every
one of whom may have his own pnrtic-
ular axe to grind.
In this connection we will take up
the action of Auditor Clinton. lie has
promulgated an cdict about the public
printing. lie is eatlearoring to ruin the

s0fr-holc !f obscnIty, and placed him
in II position of trust, honor, and much
profit. His sense of obligation to his
party, and his gratitude in general, is
happily illustrated by the letter pub
lishcd by him in the New Orleans Re-
publican q few days ago, which 1t IS
unnecessary for us to copy at the pres
cnt time. Mr.. Clinton is a good man
oiul II handsome man, but more particu.

PERILS OF THE TRAPEZE,
The New York News saws:

AAN ANS" AOiN iNC"S StyS.
James SyIvcstre,n trapczc performer,
while in thcact of playing ut the Thirty
fourth Street Theatre last night, fell
from the rope and was killed. IIc had
been engaged at the theatre about a
week, and was doing ut tho moment
he fell what is known as tho "lcap for
life." His head struck the stage box
with terrible force, and he was so
stunned by the conclusion that he lay
inscnsiblG on the stage for several min
utes. The people engaged behind the
curtain removed him to the green
room and gave what attention was
possible.
Wordcn Brennan, OF bellevue Hos
pital, being notified of tho accident,
went promptly to the theatre and
caused the removal of Sylvcstrc to the
hospital. Medical attendance was ut
once brought to him, but he died in II
few minutes after rcnching there. The
audience in the theatre had 80 little
suspicion of what had occurred that
they sat in the house during the rc-
mainder of the entertainment.
The family Of the young man, who
was but twenty years old, arc said to
be very poor, and Il benefit ut the thea
trc is in contemplation for them, as he
was their main support. The coroner
has been notified, and an inquest will
be held to day. Deceased was formerly
Il printer, but having n splendid physi-
que, abandoned that business and hc-
came an athlete.
The Syracuse Courier says that the
trapczc performer in the Boston Opera
House that city, named Hurdle, had u
very bad fall on Wednesday,. He has
two swinging bars in the dome of the
opera house, twenty-five feet apart, and
the principal feat he performs is to
swing back and forth ON one bar until
it is well under motion, and then,
letting go his hold, he flies Off to the
other, turning Il somcrsault in his
passage through. the air, and scizing
the bar twenty-five feet away as he
passes the ropes. Wednesday after
noon he was pra"ticing this feat, when
he met with an accident that nearly
cost him his life. In making his leap
through the air he passed entirely be-
yond and over the other bar without
touching it and struck the gallery.
Fortunately he succeeded in scizing the
netting, or he would have fallen on the
seats below and been seriously if not IA
tally injured. AS it was he was lamcd so
that it was impossible for him to appear
ut night,
y contemporary says: GAS Andrew
johnson is the last of the ex Presidents,
would it not be more in keeping with
the dignity of that exalted position for
him to retire into the shades of private
life, and enjoy the respect of all his
countrymcn in his declining ycars"' He
can easily retire, but about enjoying the
