A Good Farmer.
KNOXVILLE. July 10, 1879

KNOXVILLE, July 10, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t gives me pleas,
ure to inform your many readers OF
an instance of marked success in
farming in this county.
Some eight years since, Mr.. A.
B. Tabor purchased a worn down
farm near the Clinton Pike, in
Kinds Valley. He has just
thrashed 184aa bushels of plump,
sound, Fultz wheat, grown this sea-
son on nine acres of his worn-out-
pine, ridge land. The fields adjoin-
ing the same are in grass, and they
are green and fresh, afording
plenty Of the best pasture; and ne
is now selling thirty pounds of but.
ter per week. Mr.. Tabor is one of
our most enterprising, common
sense farmers, and he ascribes these
results to free and persistent use
of stable manure.
Yours, respectfully,
JOHN G. CAULKtNs.

Chickens.

Breed from good chickens and
take care of them. Do not keep
too many in one lot, at least let
there be space enough for their ac-
commodation. When crowded in a
hen house, it is almost impossible to
keep them healthy, for lice and
feyers are apt to be generated.
Crowd them up in house, and the
egg production will fall off, chicks
ems will decline in health, and YER
min will pretty much take possess
sion of them. AS we said above,
get good stock, feed them judicious-
~, house and water them, keep
them free from vermin, and chicken

is often the cause of cholera. The
house should be kept clean and
neat. There should be plenty OF
lime about the quarters, and a good
supply of pure, fresh water. Chick
ems should be fed morning, noon
and evening, at regular hours, with
a variety of wholesome food.
During the hot summer months 1t

little fresh lime in their water, and
by all means clean out the chicken

THE
Subscribe ior a Good, Reliable News
paper.

The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and. see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
As newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor~
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter-
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.

s0sM the gloss and freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a 7asty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray OF falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dam
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a

The Tilden Investigation.
New York Herald

New York Herald
There is as yet not particle of evi.
deuce which convicrs Mr.. Tilden of
guilty knowledge. The South Carroll
M traffic did come to his knowledge
the next day after Pelton left for Bal
timore, but the concurrent testimony
of Mr.. Weed. Mayor Cooper and Mr..
Peltou proves that he put an immedi-
ate and absolute veto on the transact
ton as soon az it was brought to his
notice. Mr.. Pelton's testimony on
this point seems consistent with prob.
ability. There is no reason to doubt
that the admiring nephew believed iu
the sincerity of Mr.. Tilden's profess
sions of exalted public virtue, and
having this conception of Mr.. Tilden's
character. Pelton would naturally
have concealed from him his various
plots for bribiu. the various Return
ing Boards. The fact that Mr.. Hewitt
aud Mayor Cosper-both gentlemen Of
upquestioued character. and both very
intimate with Mr.. Tilden at the time
have the most undoubting confidence
in his honor corroborates the general
effect Of the testimony which has thus
far been given.

Experiments I'm Wheat Cultvn.
llOn.

Experiments have been made in
Michigan in cultivating wheat. and
the results are not only satisfactory
but astonishing. A committee was
appointed to oversee the experiments
and make the report. Sixty-eight
pounds of seed per acre were sown in
drills 16 inches apart, aud 90 pounds
we're drilled in the usual way. That in
l6-inch drills was cultivated with .
horse wheat hoe once 10 the fall and
twice in the spring; the other, of
course, was not cultivated after SOW
ing. The report says that the 16-inch
lot did not lodge or crinkle. while the
S-inch lot did so badly. The average
yield was COL per cent.i.agreater in the
l6-inch drills than in the S-iuch drills,
The Agrlcultnrist remarks: "Itis as
reasonable to believe that grain crops
should be benefited BY cultivation as
that potatoes, corn. cabbages and 9th.
er crops should be. Hoeing vhea,
in Europe is not sn uncommon practice
and farmers in this country have begun
to do so with marked success" lSt
