leaky Roof, and stiH keep fat stock;
but such farmer sets bad example
In his neighborhood and generation.
Many poor man, without his album
dance, viii follow his careless and
wasteful practice, which tends to pow
erty in the community. Economy,
ike truth and honesty, should be OBJ
served by the rich. for the benefit of a
most salutary example, as well as the
poor. The needless waste of live stock
in flesh, or of feed to make it, in Ten
nessee this winter, win not be less than
a million dollars. This is poor hus-
bandry indeed.
The warm basement cow-stables.
horse-stables, and large stables for
sheep and hogs, under barns, to be
seen in Pennsylvania, New York and
New England, arenot myths, nor fancy
farming, but structures which pay
large profit on their cost. Middle and
East Tennessee, with their unlimited
supply of excellent building stone or
rock, enable industrious farmers to
construct permanent stables and sheds
of quality to be proud of. 1t would
be hard to find handsomer stone wall
for fence, than may be seen in David
son county, near Nashville. There are
miles of beautiful walls, which do
honor to our agriculture. But, unless
the writer is mistaken, as he may be,
first-rate stock barns, stables and sheds
are less plenty.
We once knew an excellent English
farmer who built handsome cottage
out OF limestone, and covered it by a
thatch of wheat straw. A roof made
OF wheat or rye straw, cut when the
grain is hardly ripe, put on a barn,
where there is no fire kept, as in a
dwelling house, viii answer good pur
pose. The sides of a stable or shed
may be of thatch as well as the roof.
We of the Sunny South know very lit
tie how farmers live and wax fat in
cold climates. They prepare for win.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE COMPARATIVE VALUE OF MA.
NURE.

NURE.
What Is the value of a ton of wheat
straIS and ton of timothy hay for fer
tilizing purposes as compared with each
other? Few men have made careful
experiments of this character, but Mr..
J. B. Lawes of Rothamstead, England,
has. Taking the best Peruvian guano
as the standard at seventy dollars ton
IN London Gt is worth more than that
In Baltimore at this time) and tue
value of the manure from a ton of
wheat straw is put at S2.5S; oat straw
$3.50; barley straw 1925. A ton of
meadow hay, Timothy and other rich
grasses) yields manure worth s64S; a
ton of clover is over so per cent. more
fertilizing in the droppings of farm
stock, being worth 1854.
Many farmers at the North sell all
their meadow hay, such as timothy,
herdsgrass, orchard grass and fescue,
and feed on clover, it being more nutri-
tious and fattening, If cut and cured
at the right time and In the best man
ner Southern farmers who have land
somewhat run down by cultivation in
corn, cotton or other crops, should con-
slider the fact that careful experiments
long continued make ton of clover hay
worth about ten dollars as a fertilizer,
whether eaten by stock or not, provided
all the manure is carefully saved and
utilized.
Where rich, fresh land is cheap and
abundant, manure from hay and
clover is, Of course, not worth
more than nominal sum.
But the white man, while multiplying
his race, is everywhere consuming and
wasting the soils natural fertility until
some manures sell readily at one hun
dred dollars ton. Like London, with
Its three and a half million inhabitants,
nearly allcities are growing and send
ing into rivers, lakes and the ocean
daily the residuum of aIlfood consumed
by man and beast.
What adequate restitution for this
never-ceasing loss of the elements of
grain, meat and clothing is made to
farms in America or in Europe? Cities
make little or no return to the depleted
soil, while they sell good manure i'm
ported at from fifty to one hundred
dollars ton. Better So
cial cooperation is needed be-
tween the town and the country.
When the manure from ton of clover
is worth from five to ten dollars to pro-
duce crops, without which the denizens
of cities must soon starve, do not these
city raised people evince a lack of good
sense, not to make a business of saw
ing all known fertilizing substances, to
improve the agriculture and hortic ul-
ture of the surrounding countryt
The work of plundering the soil and
those who cultivate it cannot last al
ways; for at length the tillers will raise
no more than sufficient to feed and
clothe themselves. As in prehistoric
times and since, famines and pestilence
will reduce population to their means
of subsistence. Cultivate and practice
wise economy, and save theearth's nat
ural fruitfulness from devastation.

AN IMPORTANT DECREE.
The Freedman,s Bank in the oIutehe

The Freedman's Bank I'm the Clutches
Of the Chancery COurt.
A very important decree was entered In
the Chancery Court yesterday in the case
OF Charles Pugsley, colored, AGAINST the
Fneedman's Savings and Trust Company
This suit was brought by a bill being
hled in The name of Pugsley, a deposition,
and for the benefit of all other depositors
in the bank residing in this State, asking
for the attachment Of all the property own
ed by the company in the State. The
commissioners appointed by act of Con-
gress to wind up the affairs of the bank,
Med a petition for the removal of the cause
to the Federal Court.
The depositors were represented by
Guild * Dodd and Ruhm, the bank and
commissioners, by Lawrence & Peabody.
After long argument of the case by the
counsel, Chancellor Cooper refused to re-
move the case to the Federal Court, re-
tanned Jurisdiction and directed that re-
ceiver be appointed to take charge of all
property of the bank in Tennessee.
The selection of receiver will be made
in few days.
The value of the banks property in the
State is not probably more than 335 per
cent. of the deposits, for which The attach
ment is sought.

WARM STABLES FOR STOCK

Too many fail to appreciate the
economy of building warm stables, and
comfortable sheds for all kinds of farm
stock. They must consume food,
which is. worth money, to live, and
whatever lessons their exposure to
cold, day or night, diminishes the ex-
pense of keeping them in any condi-
ton Of profit to the owner. A horse
or COW out in a cold rain or snow
storm, or denied proper shelter in the
winter, must have extra feed or become
poor, and suffer from the attack of YER
min. In the management of stock,
flesh, health and profit generally go to-
gether. OF course no warmth of sta
bles, sheds and bedding of forest leaves
or straw alone will make fat cattle,
mules or horses, but they reduce very
much the food consumed.
1t is true, a man who has an abun-
dance Of corn, hay and fodder whichb be
does II It wish to sell, may have stables

MURPHY,s SENSATION.

hhONNlllt EEess anu Herald, Nov 70.
From Mayor Staub, who arrived in the
city yesterday, we learn that Murphy, n.
c., was greatly excited on Friday last by a
tragedy which occurred at o'clock that
morning. It appears that two young men,
David Alternately and W. F. Henry, both
respectfully connected, had a quarrel on the
previous evening regarding sister of Mr..
Henry, of whom, it is said, Alternately had
spoken disrespectfullg. The quarrel, how
ever, seemed to have been adjusted and the
young men shook hands over their recon-
ciliatiOn. The next morning, however, a
shot was heard, and it was learned that
Alternately had shot Henry through the
breast, killing him instantly. II does not
seem that the quarrel had been renewed.
and some Of the persons wbosaw The shoot
inc say it was done so quickly that they
believe that Henry was not looking at
Alternately at the time. Henry was found
to be unarmed. The coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict of willful murder. Aber-
nathy is about twenty-five years old.
Henry was about twenty-six years of age, a
son of Samuel Henry, who is brother of
Spencer Henry, of Blount county, Tenn.
