A Successful Farmers Experl-
mentS.

The men who have the best right
10 counsel farmers are those who
have experimental and succeeded.
Col. X. ii. Hardaway (of llarda-
wav's famous Battery Is well
known as one Of the most prosper
ous farmers of Georgia. We quote
from a recent letter written by hIm
To the Southern CuiticatO1':
s.There are two small farms adj
Joining mine, divided only by a
blank fence. This year, one neigh
Dor. on the south, planted four
acres. IN which he used sever
bushels cotton seed to the acre,
and nv neighbor on the west, plant
cd two acres corn, on which he
used ten bushels cotton seed TO the
acre. ! planted SIX acres III corn,
and used sixty bushels cotton seed,
composted with lot scraplngs, and
100 bounds fertilizer to the acre.
Each crop had the same amount or
number of workings, and the same
quantity of rain, and unfortunately
had seven weeks drought, which
injured all our corn crops very
seriously, and as mine was most
largely fertllized, 1t had a very
seyere water test Ny III
stood the fiery ordeal far better
than either of my nelghbors'. One
neighbor planted six by five feet,
and the other six by three feet, n
stalk in the hill. | planted four
by two feet, two stalks to the hill.
Result: the field of my nelghbor.
containing four acres made, all
told, Il bushels corn and half stack
of fodder; the neighbor with two
ares made twenty-one bushels and
about half stack of fodder-both
combined, in all six acres, made
fortv-eight bushels corn and one
stack of fodder. Mysix acres made
three hundred and ninety-seven
bushels corn, and 1852 bundles of
fodder.
In a former year | planted one
acre, and used ten times o fer
t~ilizers than did my neighbor on
an adjoining acre, and planted ten
times as much corn on the n acre.
| made 10 bushels of corn, and he
made II bushels. | could thus
90 on and give experiments and
results with other crops. | pre-
diet, if Mr.. Oliphant will try the
experiment in corn or oats, that
he will find that the same seasons
that will produce a good crop upon
lightly MANFRED land, will produce
equally as fine a crop upon the land
0 5ntaining ten times the quantity of
m tnure. | have never seen any
of corn or oats, that happen
ed to stand where manure was piled
in the field. that did not make bet
ter corn than was made with the
same seasons by any other corn in
the same field. In fact, it will
succeed in making good heavy corn,
when the other will fail.
While my crop and manurlng
this year may not bear out the e.
of ten fold manuring and plant
ing, as quoted by Mr.. Oliphant; yet
it sustains the fact, that land may
be MANFRED and planted very
heavily, successfully and protita-
bly,, during years of excessive
drought, and that land thus man
ured and planted, if properly Gull
Will stand drought and
as well, if not far better, than
MANFRED lands planted at
great distance"

The street cars and omnibuses oil Paris

some things are much preferable. Passen-
GERS arc carried both in the interior and

American here is told the story OF his
newly arrived countryman who tried in
vain to find a car going his way, but saw
that every one was going to Complet

very cheap-only three sous for the tol

One of the questions is whether to abol

WEDNESDAY. OCT. %, 1878.
The November Elections.

Three New England states vote week
,f,or next. Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New Hampshire. In the two last named
states there is regular greenback organ
iz,tion which runs separate ticket ana
the result of the elections there depend
largely on the unknown strength oil 'he
NOW marty and on where it gets the most
of its strength.
In Massachusetts the fight is really be-
tween Talbot and Butler although the
democrats have candidate in Judge ADJ
bolt who is kept in the field to preserve
the party organization from the all-devour-
inc Butler. Judge Abbott wilt get but Il
,i,iful vote, however, as two-thlrds OF
three. fourths OF the democratic vote Will
90 to Butler.
Gen. Butler speaks two or three times
4 dav, and is making the staid old COM
monwealth of Massachusetts afraid that Il
is becoming bear garden in spite Oh II
self. Crowds turn out to hear the genera
everywhere, but it cannot be told no"
many of those who lear him 60 from
sympathy and how many from curiosity
The Butterflies too attend republican meet
mos and enliven them often by question
and interruptions.
The prospect is that Talbot will be cleo
ed by good majority. The town car
vasses which are coming in to the repuol
can headquarters indicate this and u
hist informed of the Butler men can onl
say that they think that Butler stands Ju
nc rood chance of being elected as
does of being beaten. And his supporter
evidently trust largely in the unknow
clements, the uncertainties of the gree
back strength, the like uncertainties as
how many democratic votes talbot -"
oct. and all such chances. They are like
to come out of the campaign well beater
In New York and Pennsylvania
grcenback strength is not figured close
and results are in doubt though in t
latter state it is thought the republca
will carry their state ticket. The weste
states that vote cannot be very sale
counted either way at the present time

On the 9th of March last, Congress
passed an act granting pensions to the
widows of soldiers of the war of 1912, ir-
respective of the time at which they were
married. Some delay has occurred in
passing upon applications under such act,
and the department has just begun to
issue certificates. The act grants the sum
of SO per month, commencing from the
time of the passage of the law.
