Suggestions for March Work.


 The American Agriculturist for March lst, gives seven columns of practical hints and directions concerning work to be done onthe farm, garden, orchard, etc, from which we extract the following:
 BARLEY.-SkilIfuI management is required to succeed with this crop. Peculiar soils are required to produce clear, thin skinned, bright colored sample, such as brings the best price in the mar ket. A triable, clean, mellow, dry, limestone clay loam is per haps the best soil, but some light CT soils, that are warm and rich, will produce good barley. The soil must be thoroughly worked and free from weeds. Barley should always be drilled, and ihe seed placed at an even depth be- low the surface. There is no better crop with which to SOW to clover.
 OATS will succeed upon soils where barley would f il. A rough sod and moist soil will grow good oats, it is the best spring crop for reclaimed swamp or q newly broken clayey meadow. rwo-and-a half bushels of seed, per acre, is light seeding; ? bush els, if drilled, or B, if broadcast, is sometimes sown with good re suits. The thick seeding yields q finer stalk, which makes more desirable fodder than stouter straw.
 OATS AND PEAS, sown together, produce a very nutritious fodder. The two crops together, upon one acre of good soil. will yield near ly, # nos quite, as much fodder as would all acre of each sowD

COTTON AGAIN!
 THE CHEATH.AM TRIUM PLANT!

This cotton has been planted the past season in all portions of the .>tate, and the truth verified that it is The Best Cotton ever Planted
 in Texas.
 That it is the most prolific, best sta- pie, most rapid in growth, and in every way far superior to any cotton known. It has proved in Texas, as 1t has already done in all other cot ton States, that it will do all ever claimed fer it, and that the past season in Texas 1t did make at the rate of from
 Two to four bales per Acre on up lands: and 1 will furnish numbers of good certificates testify ing to the above, to all who will send me their name and address, also circulars with full information And now l again offer these seed for sale, and refer to the cotton itself as to its merit, and guarantee the seed to be fresh and genuine. And as propose this season to have no trav- cling agents, but to deal directly with the farmer, allowing them to make the commission heretofore given to agents, we are enabled to put the seed down to the following prices:
 5.OUO seed, $l.00; one peck $3.O0; one half bushel, $500; one bushel, $l0.OO; five bushel $4G.00; ten bush el, 5000.
 And 1 warn people against buying seed from any agent, for will have no agents, except to canvass for orders. No 0hc will be allowed to handle the seed but myself, and the only place you can get the Cheat hai Cotton Seed, warranted pure ano genuine, and direct from the prop'ietor, will be from my office in Hou ton and if you buy from agents ped, ling them, you have to risk thel being Cheatham seed. We do this 70 protect both ourselves and the ,armer from being imposed npon by numerous agents who will do.stless flood the country propos- ing to sell the Cheatham Cotton Sect, and claiming to be authorized agenls of ours.
 ILUB RATES AND TERMS. l Any one getting up club to take live bushel of seed. and sending me S40.dU cash, l will send him k busnel extra !: or for club to take ten bnshel with $75 cash, I will senL the getter up one busllel extra. Our terms as before will be cash and in order to save C. o. ID. express charges, require the cash to accom- paLy all orders.
 Money can be sent by post office money order, registered letter or by express, and the seed will be shin. ped by freight or express as direct ed, except the one dollar packages. which l will send by mail. 1 To Grange Masters or Secretaries. who desire to get up clubs in their Oranges, l will make special ar- rangenents if they will apply to me. Also to parties desiring to canvas for orders. Parties ordering for a club must send the name and address of each party, and the amount Of seed they ttke, so l can ship direct to each one; or If they prefer it, I will shin all the seed together to some reliable merchant, which will make the freight lighter.

LOUISVILLE, ARK, Feb. 2S. TT.

LOUISVILLE, ARK, Feb. 2S. ". MISTER EDITOR Sir, will you be so kind as to permit Solomon tSowzer to come again? We'll we just wan ted to tell you that Spring time is coming; the blue bird is thirping; the doves are cooing and our farmers are busily engag ed preparing for the anticipated big crop of 1877. The wheat crop looks better; oats have been sown in abundance; everybody has been busy during the entire beautiful and lovely weather ol the month of February. The short crop of the past year seems to have urged them up to doub- ling of their diligence, and with good seasons, those who have fall en behind with their. merchants i last year will be able to pay up next fall. Upon the whole we believe the prospect ahead is pretty good; anyway Clark town ship is in fine spirits and we ex- hort our neighboring townships to hold stiff upper lip, at least while we have plenty to eat, good appetites and work to do.
 We are trying to get up good school. The people of the far famed towns of Piney and George town are about to splice and have one regular four horse school on the halfway ground, about where Bolesyillc used to be, before the R. R. killed it. If this succeeds 1t will pay . good teacher say about ten months in the year.
 Our invitation to people to i'm migrate to Clark township hasn' t banned out much yet; we thoug t there would have been a whole colony here by this time, but just AS like as not they didn't believe half we said in that article. But we was in cold hard earnest, and we belive yet that Pope county is about the best county in the State, and we are confident that Clark is one of the bulliest, best townships in Pope county and that you know makes it just close about the garden spot of creation.
 Well the R. R. Go. has land enongh Tn this township to settle a whole colony and they sell it on long credit. Now ain't that just as cheap as they ought to want it? and there's plenty of govern. ment land to enter or. homestead, with pine trees on it nearly as high as you can see, R. R. and River navigation, beautiful run ming creeks chock full of the fin est of fish; the natural scenery is unsurpassed, and for loud thun- der, keen lightning, big red ap- ples and pretty women the world can beat us. Come and see for yourselves. Yours truly,

fifth Congress, Governors oi States and other persons admit ted to the floor and the Senate chamber and to reserved seats al the left of the Diplomatic Gallery Among the latter were the Assis. tant Secretarys of tue Executive Departments, Assistant Postmas ter General, Assistant Attorney General and Judge Advocate General, heads of the bureaus ol war and navy departments, Comp trollers, Auditors and Register ol the Treasury, Solicitors of the several departments, United States Treasurer and n number soi Judges of the Federal Courts and of the Supreme Courts of the sev- eral States.
 Among the prominent persons occupying seats on the floor of the Senate Chamber during tbe'ihau. gural ceremonies were Governors Rice, of Massachusetts, Hartranfi lof Pennsylvania, Young, of Ohio ex Gov. Morgan, of New York; Wm. NJ. Evarts, Stanley Mathews Hon. $. 5. Shelaberger, Hon. B. H. Brewster, of Pennsy kania, Hon. Freeman Clark, of New York, Gen. E. F. Butler, ex Gov. Denisen, of Ohio, L. 0. c. Lamar, Senator-clect Hill, and Republi- can members of the Ohio Leeisla- ture who accompanied President Hayes to Washington.
 1 Mrs. Hayes and her party had previously left the gallery alld ta. ken seats on the platform elected for the occasion, which was built out from the first landing oi the steps of the central portico, and was proiusely draped, as hsual, with national flags. The Presi- dent began his inaugural address immediately after the procession reacheu the platform. Ills ap- pearance at the platiorIn was greated with rounds of applause from the people, who stood close ly packed, both in front of, and behind the long lines of milital Y that extended from one end of the Capitol Grounds to the other. The address, although read from manuscript, was delivered with great animation, but although his voice vas clear and strong, il: could not be heard at any consid erable distance, owing to the hum of conversation, comment and the pressure of the crowd, which kept up q constant struggle to get nearer the platform. Whenever the President paused or empha- sized sentence cheers went up from the multitude.
 At the close of the address the oath of office was administered to the President by Chief Justice Waite::both standing with uncov- cred heads at the front of the platform. At thls moment a sa- lute was fired in an adjacent park and cheering was kept up for scv- eral minutes. In the meantime the President was congratulated by ex President Grant, Chief Jus tice Waite and a large number of persons near him, including many members of both houses of Con gross and all the Associate Jus
 
 tices of the Supreme Court, ex. cept Justices Clifford and Field. who were not present during any portion of the ceremonies.
