HOW no GROW wHnAT,

A Michigan correspondent Of the
Michigan Farmer says: A good
rank crop of large red clover, treat
ed with two or three hundred pounds
of plaster Gypsum per acre in the
warm fall, and then as much more
in April or May ; and then 10 July
treated to eight or ten bushels of
lime per acre, then all plowed, rolled
and narrowed and seeded to wheat
soaked in salt brine--put in with
a drill, is preparation that in most
cases will give three to four success
siye heavy crops Of wheat, with only
the application of FIVE bushels of
lime to the acre, at each seeding,
AMI two hundred pounds of plaster
to the acre each spring, 10 April or,
earlier, in March. This is The cheap
est and the surest means known TO
the writer for keeping the land in a
condition to produce good wheat

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES,

Col. Charles Miller, of Geneva,
New York, attaches great impor
lance to securing a strong succession
of plants from runners, taken from
the best one~year plaots. He would
never employ runners from older
ones. He has now pursued this prsc
tice for about seven years, and his
luxuriant and productive beds show
his success, plactg set from potted
runners less than a year previously
in deep, rich, we'll prepared bed of
earth, affording stools often measur
ing sixteen inches in diameter, as
we found by examination of his beds.

pRopAeAT1Ne SWEET POTATOES

A New Jersy correspondent has
tried to his high satisfaction the ex>
pertinent Of propagating sweet pota'
toes from the vines saved during the
winter. In the fall, any time before
frost, the vines may be cut in any
length and placed in layers on the
surface of the earth to the depth Of
twelve or eighteen inches. Cover
the vines whilst damp with partially
rotton straw to the depth of six
inches, and cover the whole with a
light soil about four inches deep. In
this way the vines will keep during
the winter, and in the spring will
put out sprouts as the potato itself
when bedded. The draws or sprouts
can be planted first, and the vine it
self can be cut up and used as we
generally plant slips. Indiana

rhe oueue Ordinance.

In 'ADriI. 1873, Chinaman in San
Francisco was convicted under city OF
diance relating to lodging-houses of being
found sleeping in an apartment not SO
larpe as the law required. He was fined
ten dollars. and in default of payment,
was sent to prison, where the sherIn Or

comDlaint as a subject of the Emperor OF

ment. the maltreatment consisting IN

worn by all Cinnamon, and its deprlVa-

Henry ward Beecher's age.

1t having been stated in the Bangor

A Railway Across the Sahara.

The French Journal Official contains
report addressed to the President of the
Republic by the Minister of Public
Works on the proposed railway across
the Sahara, followed by a decree appoint
ing a commission to inquire into the ques-
ton of opening railway communication
between Algeria and Senegal and the in
terror of Soudan. The commission is to
examine into the possibility of construct
ing such a railway, the best route to be
followed, the means of protecting it from
raids by natives or animals, and from
damage by rain or sand storms, etc., and
to estimate the probable cost of construc-
tiOn ard working and maintenance. NJ
de Lesseps is said to have warmly ap-
proved the project, which is also sup
ported by the Minister of Public Works.
The Colonies and India states that two ex-
plorers, NM. Foureau and Fau, who
have lately visited the country south of
| Algeria, report very favOrably of the ca
pabilities of the land. Leaving Gerry
vile, in the province of Oran, in Novem-
| ber, with a caravan comprising over two
thousand men and eight thousand camels,
| they started for GOurara, where the cara
\ van was to buy dates and other native
produce. Crossing a series of sandhills
they came to the village of RassOui,
whose well watered gardens were filled
| with European fruits and vegetables. A
paratively high range of hills, COW
cred with alfa, had to be crossed, advant-
age being taken of two passes or defiles,
when the oasis of Brezina was reached,
situated on the banks, or rather formed
by the waters, of the stream known as
| Oned Seggneur, which only runs after
heavy rains, and is soon lost i'm the sand.
| Several other Oases were visited en- route
to Laghonat. The country generally is
described as a series of undulatlng plains
the two words are expressive, though
apparently contradictory - interspersed
with clumps of tall pistachIOnut trees.
| During the winte- season numerous
hocks of sheep, camels and oxen were
seen all along the route, with the tents
OF thelr owners pitched here and there
' IN thls apparently fertile 'desert.'''

The cause of diseases among swine, and
the best remedies are unsOlved problems
in the estimation even of multitudes who
have bred hogs for quarter of century.
But majority of our people will con-
tinue to try experiments. Nearly every
man of large experience in fattening
this class of stock, who has not a favorite
medicine of his own, will try every rem
edy proposed by any man protesting to
be veterinary surgeon. This is not sur
prising, when we read in many of our
papers that during 1878 % per cent. of
the hog crop of that year was lost by the
| hog cholera. So far as we can learn by
careful inquiry, there is at present but
| little of this disease prevailing. Will the
readers, therefore, allow US to give all
| who either rear or fatten swine little
simple advice? It may not do them or
their animals much good, but it will do
them no harm, and it may be of great
value to their young stock. At all events
the trial will not be expensive. AS pos
tulate we affirm the trite old aphOrism,
g An ounce of prevention is better than
a pound of cure.' Keep your hogs in
good, clean fields; give them access to
pure water, even though you should be
compelled to dig deep well for that
/ purpose; a good pump and suitable
troughs, cleansed every week, will cost
but little, and will always prove valua-
Bile outlay. Provide, also, in the dryest
part of the field, good shelter both from
sun and rain. A few rails properly ar
ranged two or three feet from the ground
covered with stack Of straw or coarse
prairie grass, will be an attractive place
for the entire drove. In troughs near by
their resting places, two or three times
each week, place a composition of salt
soda, red pepper and ginger. To foul
parts of the first two articles add ont
part of the latter. Our common red pep
pers will do very we'll. They should
however, be well pulverized, and all the
ingredients well mixed. Most healthy
animals will readily devour salt. To OBJ
tain it they will also take the alkali anC
the stimulant. The compound will no
injure bird, beast, fish or man. 1t is no
offered as a patent remedy, but simply
as preventive of the injurious effects o
the foul gases and the pestiferous filth il
which hogs have been allowed to wallow
Continue their usual summer feed
whether clover, bran, meal or corn.-

DuFFEY's LEVEL, ONO, Aug. 20
What, with the failure of the blaekberrles
and the fearful shortage of the Democratic
vote in Kentucky, the generally unset
tied condition of the political weather IN
Georgia and North Carolina, where the
Mississippi plan of cultivation is follow
ed strictly. the prospects for an average
yield of lOcofOco votes here, on the Level,
this fall is not highly tiattering.
The soil of Kentucky is peculiarly
adapted to the growth and propagation
of blue grass and Democrats; and yet,
this season, whilst the reapers and CLEAN
ers have been out in full force, both of
these cereals show frightful falling off,
as compared with former years.
Here, on the Level, many causes com=
bine to produce an unfavorable result.
There was O'Connor, and then the
| heightened sweetness, long drawn out, OF
| the late Legislative session, with the us
ual amount of cussedRess, pure and SIM
pie, on the part of members of the DOM
| inant party, many of whom, beside;
| O'C., were well known on this Level.
The Allen O'Myers made his little
mark on several occasions, and last Of
all, came old Seitz also.
| Better for Seitz he had never been born
politically, but he came all the same, anC
the net results of his errand is the dis
franchisement of the average democrat
voter on this Level. At Dufey's ;
schooner of beer has been considered
legal tender for vote, while a set up fO
the house is equal to a volume of Thur
man, under the Converse frank.
At Boss's place the other night kes
was rolled out labeled ski Sinnear." 1t
contents disappeared in less than no time
a duplicate was suggested, but the pro
cedure smacked so strongly of the credi
system of doing business, the Seitz block
ade debarring pledges rs to the futur
yield of votes, the plan was dropped afte
one fair trial.
The lads are willing to smoke the Ski
stoga and drink the ''Sinnear" beer wit
t a fly, but no pledge in 1t.

} cratic harvest to be brought up to a
