EAST TENNESSEE NOTES.
rop Nems-Item. OF General Interest.

The Kingston E'uSt 7lnucsSc ran says
The prospect for a good wheat crop in
this section is very fine. Wheat in the
bottoms was a little too much watered
during the recent rains and floods, but il
generally looks well Notwithstanding.
From our observation along the pike -
on the southside of Tennessee, we are of
the opinion that the prospect was never
better, and If nothing happens look
out for a big yield. Farmers are busy
putting out corn.
The same paper says: We are informed
that Mcssrs. Fitzgerald, Malloy and Finn,
of Iowa, who received a contract for some
eight or ten sections on the G. 5. Il. near
Wartburg, have not yet been heard from.
The Sweetwater Enterprise says Al.
though great many of our farmers are
considerably behind with corn planting,
we never saw the wheat look better. How
ever, the weather bids fair to be good for
some time, which will enable the farmers
to get their corn ground all planted. II
nothing happens to the wheat there will
be an abundant harvest.
The East IenReSSeCda says: We learn
upon what we deem good authority, that
Prof. Thomas, the gentleman sent here by
the stockholders of the Oakdale Iron Com.
pany, after having made a thorough ex-
animation and inspection of matters and
things at the works, has expressed him
self as altogether pleased with the prospect
and will 80 report to the stockholders. As
it has been stated that the Professors re-
port is to determine whether or not the
work will be- prosecuted further, the infer
ence is that Oakdale will be shortly in full
blast again.

4 Ghost That Will Not Down.

Evidently difficulties are fast closing in
about us, and every day we have some fresh
cause for rejecting upon the insecurity of
the moment While the politicians have
been intent upon their schemes at Nersail-
les, the revolutionists have been working
in the dark, and revelations have been
made during the week which show how
thoroughly they have succeeded in organ
izing the workingmen. Everything seems
to favor their plans. The want OF work,
the dearuess OF the neccssares of life,
and the widespread distress in great
many quarters, have once more turned the
attention of the poor TO those dreams of
mutual aid societies which have been so
cleverly used in the past. 1 need not say
that, under guise of philanthropy, the
leaders in these organizations think only
of making them political machines, and
they are SO in fact, in spite of the more
honest among the members, and in spite OF
the stringent laws against political -ocic-

The Cut Worm.

y correspondent of the RoyU San

have been told to put little salt upon

prevent the worm from cutting it down.
Too much salt will kill the plant, and of
one fact | am sure, that the cut worm
finds no Inconvenience from being buried
in salt aud even the moth will lay her egg
in salt OF lime This might be ali true and
then the worm much opposed to eating
salt or brakish food. Farmers would do
well to make some experiments with salt.
would prefer soaking the corn in salt
water few hour, to putting salt on the
hill. I cOnversed with farmer few days
since who stated he had planted an old
clover field with corn soaked in saltprter,
and the worms had not disturbed it.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Since my last,

change in the valley and on the noun
tains. The eye Is gladdened with thesight
of fruit and flowers growing on every
hand. The air is balmy with the oder of
blossoms from the meadows and fields. The
forests resound with the notes of the
fcathered songsters.
CANDIDATES.
They are a. numerous In the county as
fleas in a neglected stable. For the Office
of Sheriff there are five candidates, in
Guiding the present incumbent, George
Graham.
There are three candidates for County
Court Clerk, and others are talking about
making the race. Some six or seven able
bodied individuals are willing and anx-
ious to serve the people as Register, and
four think that they should he Trustee.
Our genial CiTcuiC Court Clerk, VIM. AL
len, Esq, has no opponent, and it is as it
should be, for he is an efficient officer.
If candidates continue to appear, there
will be but few voters in the county.
PRISONERS.
The Sheriff's hotel 1.-THE Jail has eight
or nine boarders. Some of them have been
stopping at this house for some time; others
have more rerently taken room as q mat
ter of convenience, for the Circuit Court
convenes soon and they will have to an
swer to various charges before that body.
SCARCITY OF GRAIN.
There is q costant demand for corn, oats
and hay. Hardly a day passed during the
last month, but what some forage master
from the line of the Cincinnati railway
was in the country endeavoring to obtain
forage. Teams are constantly moving in the
Il, 81 a
ed with supplies. There is but little hay
or oats in the country, and what corn there
is holders are asking one dollar per bushel
for it.
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
At Pleasant Grove, fifteen miles east OF
the village "A few days ago, the County
Sunday School Convention was held.
The entire proceedings were interesting.

FIELD AND FARM
1mnrorement or our Line SLock

In order to make stock-feeding more pro-
titable, we must continue to improve our
live stock till we have class of animals
that will bring the highest price In market.
The better the animals, the greater will be
the product of our feed and higher the
price for the meat. A we'll fed animal will
be a source of profit in every way, while
the profit and the meat on one of the lean
kind will be poor.
Some will say that il takes more feed for
blooded animals, and that they won't hunt
living like the natives.
That is lust what is needed where we
have so much feed, and an animal of quiet
disposition will take on flesh but one with
the agility of q fox-hound will adapt itself
TO the circumstances in which it lives.
Another will say that our feeding won't
pay, and that many of the best animals are
destroyed by it.
1t is fact as plain as day, that if our
stock were fed till one-third of them died,
we would make more money out of the
balance than from the whole number in a
half-fed condition. BY better breed
ing and better feeding we in
creae size and quality of the meat.produc-
ing animals, and if we can send to market
the same number of pounds of better quail.
ity in three animals, it will cost less freight
than to send it in five of less value. There
will be less shrinkage, less ohal, and less
room occupied.
We do not wish it understood that we
desire all farmers to become breeders of
thoroughbred stock this could not well be {:
the breeding of any race of thoroughbred
stock requires more care and attention
than the farmer can well give it: but what
we do urge is that our western farmers Sc
lect the Kind of stock best suited to their
locality, if it be either for meat or for the
dairy, and use only thoroughbred males
of that breed. Feed well and feed till ma
turity, and not dispose of stock at time
when it is just becoming valuable.
We have the facilities and the feed and
there is no necessity for paying freight to
eastern feeders on poor stock, and also on
the grain to feed iJ there. We are robbing
ourselves, robbipg our soil, and enriching
the railroads. We must have the railroads
and the railroads must have Us, and 10y
working together for our own interests we
will convince them that it is their interest
to deal fairly with the farmers.-SdDluel
