How To KIN Cabbage Worms.

Cabbage are so nutritious and healthy
as food for man and beast that we are
glad to tell our readers a clean and sure
remedy against damage by worms, if ap-
piled in season. 1t is to sprinkle a little
wheat bran or ships-stuff over the plants
when the yellow butterfly first appears,
whose eggs make the most common cab
bage worms. Buckwheat meal or flour
has been used with equally good results
and probably corn meal will fill the
breathing pores of the worms and kill
them.
\ correspondent Of the New York
Tribune says:
In June, in going through my early
cabbage, found one completely covered
with the worm. Immediately obtained
a handful of bran and sprinkled it over
the head. The worms began to squirm
and fall off the cabbage and wherever the
bran touched them they seemed to be in
pain. The following morning they were
all dead. Since that time, on the first ap-
pearance OF the worm | SOW the bran.
Some seasons it may be necessary to do
it the second time. If the worms are very
thick, it is better to take a handful and
sprinkle it over the cabbage. 4 hundred
weight is ample for an acre.

Lime as a Manure.
[From the lreenevillo Tntell repcer !

Iron the Greeneville INTEL gencer
1t astonishes one who has witnessed
the great effect on the agricultural
progress of some OF the older States bv
the use of lime, to see so little of itused
in Tennessee where the land has been
worn out for the want of some sustain
ing manure, and particularly so when
nearly every fariu has the very best
of limestone on t. Thirty years ago
in tue States of New Jersey and Penn
sylvania, you might see old sedge fields
or poverty grass, l." as it is there call
ed, in abundance. They had their
large farms, worn out lands, poor
fences and poverty homes, very much
as the people in Tennessee now have.
Those of them that could, mustered
the means, sought homes in the west
and elsewhere, and left homes much
more valuable than those they found.
simply because they were ignorant of
the real element of wealth they pos
sessed on these farms, viz: that of
Lime Afterward the use of this val
liable manure become general, and
soon the poor farms and poverty
grass" fields began to disappear, ana
more prosperous condition of things
developed themselves throughout the
entire country. Fences were renewed,
houses were built, and to day there are
no weather. or more prosperous far
mers to be found anywhere; and the
foundation cause of this great change
was the use of lime. Lime being a sea
deposit composed of marine shells COM
bined with carbonic acid, it is an aka
line earth, and in order 10 make it suit
able for manure for land, it has to be
burnt in kilns to drive Off the carbonic
acid. The action of lime on the land
is more for the purpose ofutilizing the
vegetable matter and through its aka
line qualities counteract or destroy the
acidity of the soil and thereby make it
productive. Sorrel or oxalc acid plants
can easily be destroyed by the use of
lime. Lime also has quality of des-
trOying noXious weeds and converting
them into manure, thus enriching the
land making the soil lighter and more
easily cultivated, also giving greater
facilities for capillary attraction, Civ
ing it the quality of holding water and
withstanding drought. Lime in all
instances when used as manure must
have negative matter to act upon,
hence the poorer the soil the less guam
tity of lime must be used. l trust the
time will soon come when on every
farm we shall see a regularly con-
structed lime kiln and from its use the
same results will follow that it has
been our privilege to witness else
where. Ell.

Cincinnati Southern Railroad.

The Chattanooga Commercial in
speaking of Major Hugh Carlisle, and
the above road, says: The work on
that portion of the road which termi,
mates south at Emory river, is being
vigorously pushed, and will, it il
thought without doubt, be completed
within the time specified in the con-
tracts. Mr.. Carlisle has five sections
of the road, Nos. 100 to 1854 inclusive.
Nos. 1853 and l64 are tunnel work, said
to be the most difficult on the line, be-
ing driven through a flinty sandstone.
While there is a large number Of
hands at work, there is IA demand for
many more, aud we know no better
place for able-bodied men, now idle, to
seek employment. The pay is liberal
and prompt-the treatment good.
Mr.. Carlisle himself needs five hun
dred more hands. AS an inducement
to parties to seek work with him, we
will say that he has been contractor
in the South twenty-seven years that
he has never had a man killed on his
work that he has never failed to car
ry out contract, and has always paid
one hundred cents on the dollar on
his agreements. Mr.. Carlisle would
like also to purchase about twenty
good mules if he can get them at rea-
sonable prices. -ChdttdnOOgd CONNER

To the Editors ofthe Chronicle:
The rain was very heavy here. Bea-

cred with water for several hundred
yards here. Woods bridge cross Bea-
yer creek, one mile from here, was

farmers; their fencing, their freshly
plOwed land, etc, being dreadfully
washed. Torrents from the ridges car
ried all the fencing in their paths.
On the Knoxville and Ohio railroad
there has been considerable slides in
Chestnut ridge. The cut in Copper

The activity among the Republican ward
clubs and the large and enthusiastic crowds
that attend the meetings speak well for sue
cess next spring. We regret to see, however,
that in one or two instances, notably in the
First and Third Wards there are dissersions
growing out Of personal rivalries. The First
Ward Republicans, above all others, cannot
afford to waste time in discorls or wraneGng.
Their ward is the principal battle-ground.
Tint ward is the headquarters of, the gam
blers, bunko-men, aud the leading corrupt
acoundrels in the Opposition. A hard fight
must be made here in the next election to
Glenn them ont, and the Republicans must go
into that fight with closed up ranks or they will
be beaten by the roughs and lose the advan-
tage they gained in the county election, besides
i,npcriing the general result in the city.
Close up the ranks in the First Ward there
fore, gentlemen, and hea1 the dissensions.
Every man will be expected to do his duty
next spring in the supreme effort to free the
city from the clutches of the ta1aaters and
criminal classes.
