Culture of EBrOOnI-CorD.

Broom corn requires rich soil; bottom
land is the best, and it should be as free
from grass az possible The reason for
choosing clean land will appear plain to
a man who has raised a crop. the ground
should be we'll plowed and made perfectly
fine with the harrow, then marked out
with shallow marks, il to be planted by
hand, so as not TO get the seed too deep
in the ground; but the best plan is to
plant with drill The stalks must be
as close as five or six inches, to prevent
the straw from becoming too heavy. OF
course il cannot be drilled with much
regularity, but must be cut ont with the
hoe to the right distance when small. 1t
Is like sorghum, grows slow when small,
and on most land it is positively necessa-
ry to hoe the grass out, which gives a
good opportunity for cutting out to the
right distance. After this is done, the
cultivation is similar to that OF corn.
When the seed begins to fill, the straw
will bend over from the weight, and to
prevent this the fall force of hands must
be put in to break the stalks over, say
ten or twelve inches from where the straw
grows out, or, more properly, the head.
The weight Of the seed will then, by
hanging down, keep the straw straight.
Now comes the busy season, and the time
when labor and care will add much to
the value of the crop. The green straw
being altogether the most valuable, it is
important that it be cut before it begins
TO turn red, and dried in the shade. To
do this shed is necessary, with shelves
on which to lay it, say six inches deep;
and enough hands be employed to cut
the crop before any or much of it turns
red. The seed is stripped by means of
machine made for the purpose, with two
cylinders between which the corn is held
in handfuls. The process is very rapid,
only an instant being necessary to knock
the seed all off The corn is baled before
being sent to market. The price is very
finctuating, running from $50 to $3.50
per ton

rs1HE design of this work, winch has been
4 very carefully prepared by Judge L. y.
BrldeweH of Coplah county ami which Will
supersede the Form Book heretofore issued
by the undersigned, il to impart to novices,
nilemeu not learned in the Jaw above their
fellows, the routine of business required of
them when they assume the responsible and
now important Office of Justice of the Peace.
L nder the present Constitution of Mississip-
pi, the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace in
Civil Suits is raised to one hundred and fifty
dollars, and in all criminal matters their lu-
rlsdlctIon Is concurrent with that OF the CIR
cult Courts in a II cases where the punishment
prescribed by the laws does not extend beyond
fine and imprisonment in the county jail.
The Office is GER; ainiy one of great dignity, and
;he main design of this work Is to be of some
assistance to the unlearned Justice of the
Peace By placing the law relating to his juris-
diction before him in compact form, with forms
and preC edents, covering almost, if not every
case, which can come before him. Notes are
added to many of the forms for the guidance
and information Of the Justice, endeav oriAg
thereby toeXplain the law and use of the form,
that none, however ignorant of the law
generally, can go far wrong.
The Law, found in the Code of 1871, and
in the pamphlet Acts since, so far as 1T is dis
tinctly applicable to the Justice of the Peace or
the practice in his Court, wiz be given full, in
ARA ged under appropriate heads. The whole
Will be carefully and fully indexed. Alto
gethcr, we hazard nothing in saying that it
viii be the most complete Manual for Justices
of the Peace ever published in this, or, per
haps, any other State, and will he useful to
every attorney, every public officer, every
merchant, and indeed every citizen. AS the
work will not be stereotyped, and the edi-
ton will be limited 20 the probable demand
those who would secure copies, should file their
their orders without delay. THE MISSISSIPPI
JUSTICE Will make volume of about five hun

For feeding cattle no root is superior
to the parsnip In the Island of Gucrn-
sey, a few years ago, and perhaps the
same state OF things still exists, pigs and
cattle were almost entirely fattened on
this root. We have always thought that
American farmers did not realize the
value of this root. One great advantage
in this root is that it can be stored in the

OUR FUTURE FENCE.-In reply to our
article headed as above in the Rural Sun
of the 4th instant, we have received the
following replies from s r. Sanders, of
Murfreesboro, and Mr. w. T. Waters, of
Shop Spring, Wilson county, whicA con-
Arm our opinion that Pyracantha will
make good hedge:
Mr.. Saunders says: AS to the Pyra-
Oantha, | have bad it growing three years;
it is from three to six feet hight, very
dense at the base, and perfectly beautiful
at this season of the year, being covered
with scarlet berries / am Satisfied that
with proper attention it viii make very
substantial as well as ornamental fence
If it succeeds we'll it is the cheapest fence
our farmers can make. 1t takes about
the same cultivation you would give to
corn for three years, nothing more being
needed except the proper pruning, as 1t
is grown from cuttings.
Mr.. w. I. Waters says: " Having
been in the use and cultivation of the
shrub. (Pyracantha,) from the time of
its Introduction by the late DR.. Goron.
until about fifteen years ago, l know
that it makes Il good fence, in the hands
of those who will fell the weeds and
grass, and prune it in good time.
We should like to hear on this subject,
from Mr.. John Barbbee, of Grants post

AIEAP FROM HISTORY.
The Rivers Mouth.

Editor Democrat Not that wish any
controversy but having wnited in vain
to hear some one contradict the statea
ment made the other day whilst on
board the Grand Republic by Capt.
Andrews, "that there was two and half
feet more water in the South Pass than
had ever been obtained by natural
means In any pass of tho river; take
away the dredgeboats and Southwest
Pass and Pass -a-l'Outre would shoal ur
to within thirteen feet in less than a
week" !" will now, in reply to this
statement, place some historical facts
before the public so that people may
Judge OF the correctness of this assertion.
From books embracing the earliest
history OF Louisiana we see reported
the following facts: In 1928 there ex-
listed three passes; there was a natural
channel OF sixteen feet in one pass, and
harrows were used to increase the
depth. In 1861 there was at tho Balize
there we're eighteen feet Of water In one
were seventeen feet in one OF the
passes, which short time before
had only twelve Dredging was then
recommended. In 1747 the Eastern
Pass had seventeen feet OF water on q
short bar. In 1890 there were five passes
and numerous bayous. The bar shoaled
up to twelve feet. Confining the water
was recommended. In 1888 Pass-n-
POutre had fifteen and half feet. In
17a0 the project OF the Baratarria Canal
was agitated In 171S the Dromadaire
and n Alexander crossed the bar
drawing thirteen feet OF water, being
the first vessels that ever entered the
Mississippi It was at this period that
the French engineer, M. Pauger, sug-
gested the confinement of the stream,
rs we see. in the jetty works now going
on. From these BOOKS it will not only
be seen that the natural depth at these
early periods was from IA to Is foet on
the bar, but that many devices were
tried and abandoned to deepen the bar,
or never tried for want OF merit And the
same has been the case for the last fifty
years. Can Capt. Andrews claim that
the historians OF our earlier period were
mistaken, and those of "a more recent
date as well. For, during the war, there E
were eighteen, nineteen and twenty feet
on the bar, when there was no dredging
or other work TO deepen the channel.
Ii this were not go, how was It that the
steam frigate Mississippi, which drew
twenty one feet, was brought inside the
bar. But this is not all. Captain
Henry Fallet testified before the
Senate Committee on Transports,
tion that, during the war, they
had II, 1S and 19 feet, "They had 4
good bar" trust that these facts may
be Of some servic8to the public to place
q proper estimate on Capt. Andrews
historical knowledge Of the bar and the
depth OF water thereon.
