Cotton thread may be died in two or
three eolors by covering some parts
with parchment paper, tightly wound,
and thin tin or lead foil, holding the

HON TO GET A GOOD STAND
OF COTTON.


EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIyAToR.
Il wish I could in some way, repay
you and your many intelligent cores
pondeats for the pleasure and sstisfac-
ton have had in peru&i':s their
timely articles during the year.
Surely some men are peculiarly
blessed with the faculty Vi being able
to say just the right word at theright
time. Others like myself, were no
doubt intended by Providence for
"good listeners"
I never fail to get uniformly good
stand Of cotton. My plan is to I'LL L
wagon body one third full Of ashes and
dry horse mauure-(equal parts of
each). I then throw in basketful of
cotton seed, on which sprinkle q
bucket of Water-then with manure
or sF:ade-fork (the latter is betterl I
throw on the pile several forks full of
the manure and ashes, mixing it as
well as [ can, proceeding in this man
ner until the body is full. [ then
haul the wagon to the nearest point, and
with key or basket smsll boy can
easily attend the planter.
[ use the Star" or Stewart Plan
ters' which rob the seed SO that when
they come from the planter, each
seed is completely eucased with
the fertilizer. 1 usually do this
some II hours before planting, tramp:
ing and packing the seed in the wag:,
on causing them 10 become warm
enough to start the germ. They al
ways come up in j few days and grow
off vigorously with long dark green
and purple shank (uo matter whether
the ground is dry or not.) prefer
to plant on fresh or newly made beds.
I have usually commenced plsn,lng
on the 20th of April and generally
have had a good stand up week be-
fore many. who planted with dry seed
and an opener many days before
me.
The ashes were from mixed wood,
about two thirds soft wood, and one
third hard wood. 1t is more than;
probable that from the dryness Of the
season the beneficial effects of the
ashes in the soil have not yet been
fully realized. During the growing
season the row without ashes could
not have been selected by the appear
ance of the tops. The two lots Of po-
tatoes have not yet been compared
as to quality for table use. Those,
however, which have been tested from
land to which ashes were applied, are
excellent. The Orono potato was
used for the experimeut.-M. c. F.,

AppLEs.-Itis stated that by a care.
fnI analysis, it has been found that ap.
pies contain a large amount of phos-
phorus, or brain food, than any other
fruit or-vsgctable, and on this account
they are very important to sedentary
men, who work their brain rather
than their. muscles. They also con
tain the -cids that are needed every
day, especially for se'ieatary men, the
action Of whose liver is sluggish, to
eliminate etfcte matter, which: if retaiu-
ed in the system. produces iaaction OF
the brain: and, indeed, Of the whole
system causing jaundice: sleepiness,
scuryy aud diseases Of the skin.

A Joke on Somebody.

When Engineer w. III. Thomas ran
his 2 o'clock Wilmington train up to
the depot in this city yesterday p. NJ,
he felt confident all was right, and as
he was innocently and harmlessly
casting about to deliver the passen-
gers and baggage safely upon the
platform, he was accosted with "Hallo,
Thomas, where's your baggage and
passenger 50" Behold, to his great
CONSERVATION, he qDas here, safe and
sound, with his good faithful locomo-
tive, tender and some freight-cars, but
where, oh where, was the rest of his
train? We was sure that at the last
station (Elorence) all was o. X, but
here l am" says he, "minus one
freight car, the baggage car and the
passenger car, with att the passengers,
one brakeman and my very valuable
Conductor, Frank Monahan - all
gone" But where? was the question:
Well, Thomas thought the best thing
he could do was to go back down the
road and ascertain where the terrible
responsibility rested. About four and
half miles down the track he found
his lost train, where Conductor Mona
han and his jolly crowd were sitting
in the shade of the cars enjoying the
joke, which they had unanimously
agreed Thomas should have the bene-
fit of. But Thomas could not see it in
that light. The truth was, by some
means the three rear ears had become

1t is soothing Alternative and deferative. Used

BILE diet, it produces most important changes
in the system, contributing t, the reconstruc-

Fun on Main Street.

On the suburban grounds of Mr..
Elijah Workman there has ripened
several fine punches of bananas of de-
licious flavor this year. Yesterday
evening the boys improvised an enor-
nous section of one of the great stalks,
rugged it up like mounted telescope,
and it was quite amusing to see the
surprise of the passers-by as they read
the following bulletin: "The Banana
Telescope. Price of Views, 25 cents
each.o Mr. Furrow Turn came up,
in the gentle gloamin' hour, and
drawing out his purse, presented his
% cents,
Il want to look at the comet"
ooh, yes, Sir; step up on the ladder
and view"
"Ha! How is this? I can't seev'
"The deuce! Stand aside and let
the Hon. Mr.. Hayrick come and take
his view. Thanks (pays a quarter).
Now, Sir, look steadily over DOwney's
Block-there-ah! Now you have 1t.
Is it not elegant
Mrs. Ceres happened along next, and
her attention was abruptly called to
the great telescope. Throwing hel
bonnet back, she presented shining
quarter and implored permission tC
gaze at the new wonder. She fixed
her glasses-looked, "Ah! ah! How
grand and glorious. 1t is cometp'
The younger lights saw the joke al
once. But Lanfranco's Block people
nearly bursted their sides with laugh
ter.
