Agricultural Improvement
Nashville Banner.


A gentleman residing in Maury
county, we'll knownfor his literary
tastes, and who has travelled a good
deal, called ON US this morning, and
in the course of conversation touch
ed upon the great Improvement
which two or three years have made
in the farmers and farms throughout
Middle Tennessee. He dwelt upon
the great difference observable in
our people at the close of the war
and folding of hands, a general
helplessness, and not knowing what
to do. Now all is changed; the
situation is fully accepted, and
everybody is alive to duty. and bet
ter skill is everywhere manifested.
Where neglect reigned now thrift
and improvement prevails, and a
lively growth of interest preceptible
in everything pertaining to agricul-
tural interests.
This he attributes to the influence
of Gen. Ewell in his neighborhood,
who first aroused the general lethar-
gy, and whose example has been
followed by such ambitious, talented
and liberal gentleman as Campbell
Brown, Thomas Gibson, James John
son, the Cheairs and the Hointers
and men of that type who live in
Williamson and Maury, and to the
powerful influence of the Grange
societies, the agricultural knowledge
by means of an intelligent press
which seems to delight in doing this
good work.

How Deep to Pillow.

Intelligent practical men, who
agree on most other subjects, still
differ widely on this. 1t seems to
be an irrepressible question, and the
apparent discrepancies growing out
Of it have tendency to bring dis
credit on enlightened husbandry.
Why is it that the discussion of
this question has been so long and
and earnestly continued with SO
little real profit? The answer is,
FIRST, because it has in too many
cases degenerated into mere par
ty question between rival theories
wherein victory is the object rather
than truth; and secondly, because
the partisans on both sides have at
tempted to accomplish an impossi-
bility. They have undertaken to
set up an -invariable rule for all
cases, as if it were possible to con-
vert individual experience into uni
versal truth without due regard to
the necessary conditions.
One man believes and stoutly
maintains that deep blowing gives
the best result, while another is
equally positive, that the reverse of
this is true. Yet both are intelli-
gent men and each appeals to the
facts of his own experience. The
trouble is they have undertaken to
generalize without a sufficient range
of facts to start from, and without
including all the elements of the
problem. The consequence is that
both sides of the question have been
proved and yet neither side is true.
It is simply one of those problems
in which the conditions are so nu-
merous and so variable that it is
impossible to lay down in practice
any general rule on the subject, or
to make one mans experience a
safe guide for all others.

The Time to Plant.

It is. useless to put seed in the
ground, the american Garden sensi-
bly, says. before the soil becomes
warm and dry. For this reason no
particular time can be specified. for
planting everything depends upon
the location. soil and temperature.
A very good guide is the taking up
Of a handful of the loan and closing
the fingers tightly upon it. IF, on
opening the hand, the soil remains
in a hard lump, and retains the i'm
print of the fingers, it is too wet
while if it falls apart in an irregular
heap, it may be deemed in a condi-
tion for the. seeds. Another remind
er, and one that will prove a guide
in all .latithdes,, is the forest tree.
When trees put forth their young
leaves, all nature is ready for active
work. Seeds planted then germin-
ate at once, and seldom fail TO come
up and grow vigorously. Nothing.
is gained by very early planting.
Better be grain too late than too
early.

virginia [Nev.) Enterprise.

Two Comstockers. members of a
certain church in this city, were APP
pointed a committee to collect sub
scriptions to certain amount. One
of the men being officially notified
of his appointment. hunted up his
partner and told him what they were
expected to do. This last mentioned
half of the committee stood aghast.
!" What are we to do about the mat
ter?'' said he. " Well, I'll tell you
what / shall dol shall just 60 into
the bank here and draw check for
my half Of the sum we are expected
to raise" Good" said the other,
els countenance showing signs of
relief. Good / never thought of
that. l shall do the same" The pair
went into the bank and drew their
checks for the amountsthey we're ex-
pected to raise, and the trouble was
all over.

Yield and Cost.

The problem for the agriculturist
is to get the highest yield per acre
from the smallest cash investment,
and the practical mode of solving
this problem makes the whole differ
ence between the thriftless and the
thrifty farmer Just here arises
very important inquiry. Does the
largest product from an acre neces-
sarily give the lowest net cost per
bushel for the article raised, and if
not. is there any definite relation be-
tween these two. factors? The OBJ
vious answer is that though the
largest yield does not always give
the lowest cost, yet the chances are
greatly in its favor Unreasonable care
and economy are used. There is Of
course, limit of outlay on every
crop, beyond which it will not be
profitable but inside of this limit it
is safe to say that, as general rule,
the more bushels or tons you get
from an acre the less each bushel or
ton will cost.
The reason of this is so perfectly
pIaIn IL SCculS IuCICulDIS II1db Jul
farmers do not give more attention
to the principle and take advantage
of it to increase their profits. The
usual explanation with thenis that
capital being limited, they cannot
put more than a certain amount Of
expense in each acre Of ground, even
thoughevery additional dollar should
bring back a hundred fold. e
This is plausible enough at first
sight, but it does not meet the case,
as may easily be made to appear.
Norris there in fact any sufficient
reason why farmers should not raise
much larger crops, and at much low
err cost than the average of the pre-
sent, or of recent years.
This topic is very prolific and full
of interest To the husbandry of this
country. The prolific possibilities
Of the soil, under a proper system
of treatment, may well challenge
the attention Of farmers, for it offers
the readiest aud surest, if not the
only means of rendering their acres
productive and their calling thrifty.

A Fashionable NewYork Parson


People who visit one Of the most
ultra fashionable Episcopal churches

rector's family. have very little ac-
quaintance with the romantic history
of his wife. or the circumstances I'M

are both well advanced in years now,
and it must make them both grin
when they contemplate their early
acquaintance. This was twenty odd
years ago, in a Western city, where
the husband (the present rector held
q lucrative Government office. He
had about as much idea of being a
clergyman then as he now has Of be-

it was in the pursuit of knowledge
of the light fantastic that the young
man made the acquaintance. He

not only the use of his heels and
toes, but also Of his heart. In brief.
he saw, loved, and conquered the
fair preeeptor, and in due course
they were married. Just before the
wedding the intended husband start
ed a public testimonial to his future
bride by her pupils-in other words,
ball. It was a success, and brought
numerous ducats to her purse. AZ
ter the marriage the husband passed
through several stages Of dootrinaI
belief, and finally landed in the bos-

RECOGNIzED IN THE MOR0UE.
A New York Merchant who was Missed on
the Dav Of his CrediI ore Meeting.

Elijah w. Nichols, a hardware merchant
at 2i2 Fulton street. brooklyn, started from his
home, at ls9 Livingston street, on the esth OF
March for his store, and on his way stopped at
the butchers and left an order. From that time
he was not seen alive by any one who knew i'm.
For some time prior to his disappearance he had
been In financial difficulties. and his Intellect
had become deranged. lie had called a meet
ing OF his creditors at his store for the morning
On which be disappeared, and after waiting for
some time for him, the creditors unanimously
agreed to accept com promise Of twenty cents
on the dollar. HIS principal Indebtedness was
to his own relatives and to his old business
friends, who desired to be as lenent as possible,
and no definite course OF action was determined
upon. The meeting was al ioIrned from time
TO time, and at length his estate was thrown
into bankruptcy. His business stock sold for
moro than had been anticipated, and all con
cernsd, including his widow. were satisfied with
the course OF procedure.
YESTERDAY a body, somewhat decomposed. was
taken out OF the Esst river at the foot OF Fifty
hfth street and carried to the Morgue, and there
II was fully identified as that OF the mss NJ
merchant.
Mr. Nichols was about forty Ave years Of age,
and left widow with two young children, who
will be dependent for their support upon a
policy OF Insurance ON his life for three or four
thousand dollars.
