PREPARE FOR HARD TlMEs.-The
Commissioner of Agriculture for the
State of Georgia has the following to say
70 the farmers OF that State:
In view of the probable failure of the
corn crop in many sections he State,
the outlook is somewhat nv. But
with proper economy in t. use of pres
ent supplies, by utilizing all the resources
of Summer and Fall crops, and sowing
early and largely of small grain, the ap.
pretended scarcity OF next Spring nav
be anticipated and, in great measure, ii
not fully, met.
1t is not too late to SOW peas in drills
for forage, and farmers should avail
themselves of seasons to put in large
areas for this purpose. Pcevine hay,
though somewhat difficult TO clre prop
erly, is highly nutritious. Rich lots
near the farm house or lot should be
sown in barley or rye in August, and
will furnish large quantities of green
food
We must rely chiefly on oats to sup
prlement the short corn crop next Spring,
and farmers are advised to SOW early and
fertilize we'll, that the crop may be Sc
cured against Winter freezing and be
available az early as possible next Spring.
If August and September should prove
seasonable, as they probably will, SOW
ings of cat-tail millet and German mil
let may still be made for soiling pur-
poses. The drafts on the corn crib and
fodder house should be relieved, as far
as practicable, by pasturing and soiling
the mules and horses. Where the corn
has failed to produce ears. the stalks,
blades and all, should be cut and cured
for forage. BY prudent foresight and
prompt action, much may be done in the
way of supplementing sho-t corn crops,
and providing against the ruinous erpe-
dient of relying on the West for supplies
for our stock

The CHINA TREE.-Rev. II. G.. Gil
lund, Of Kingstree, S. c., writes to .be
Nomc and Farm Is follows, which is wor-
thy of consideration an1 trial:
In few brief words let me mention
some things concerning this tree which
will be valuable information TO the whole
South. Tho botanical name of the tree
do not know. 1t is sometimes called
Pride of India. In general, le. nia say
it is one of the most speedy worm and
insect destroyers to be found in nature.
will give instances Of its des. -'uctiye eff
fects of this Kind in 30 far aa L.-: sea;;
the experiments.
Horaes affected with worms may be
entirely relieved by putting handful of
the borries of this tree in their food three
times uny. ii IL is severe case, give
q pint of the berries Mt each feeding. If
1t is winter or early spring time, simply
lot the horses feed under the trees. This
comedy havo seen tried often, and l
have never known failure to cure.
The berries are very valuable for pro-
tecting dried fruits from worms or Insects.
A few of them scattered in with the fruit
will drive off any invaders of this kind.
This has been tried with great success,
fruit being protected thus near other
fruit which were rendered useless by the
worms. l have heard others say that
wheat, peas, rice, &C., may be saved
from tho weoyiis in the same way. I
have not yet seen this tried. Doubtless
it is true.
The value of this tree to the garden is
incalculable. The following experiment
has been tried with perfect success by
Mr.. G. S. Cooper, of Indiantown, S. @.
His cabbage were about to be destroyed
by little worms. He simply took a
bunch of tho leaves of this tree and
spread it over each plant Every worm
let, and the cabbage headed beautifully
A toe made of tho berries, or leaves, and
sprinkled on the plant, will have the
same effect.
My knowledge of trials of this kind
does not G.. ee'rther; but this is sufficient
to show thl peculiar value of the tree,
and to lead others to experiment for them.
selves. If they do. my purpose in writ
ing is accomplished.

How TO TELL. A HORSES AGE.--The
editor of the Southern Planter says: 1.-THE
other day we met gentleman from Al
ALBANIA, who gave us piece Of iuforma-
ton as to ascertaining the age of horse
after it had passed the ninth year, which
was quite new to us, and will be, we are
sure, to most of our readers. It is this /:
After the horse is 0 years old, q wrinkle
comes in the eyelid, at the upper corner
of the lower lid, Fad every year thereaf-
ter he has one weli-defined wrinkle for
each year of his age over nine. If, for
instance, horse has three wrinkles, he
is twelve; if four thirteen. Add the
number of wrinkles TO nine, and you will
always get at it. So says the gentleman,
and no is confident ii will never fail"

TWO SENECA BOYS
Arrested by n United states Marshal.

Last evening u. s. Marshal Math-
ews aud detective Abbott, OF the L. S.
mail service, brought to this village
Fremont ID. Rarick and Wilbur Al
drich, two young men residing in the
township OF Seneca, whom they had
arrested for sending letters through U.
s. mails for fraudulent purposes. Their
plan OF operation is briefly as follows:
They enclosed genuine U. s. note TO
their hoped-for victim, informing him
that they were dealing in counterfeit
money as good as the sample enclosed,
and that for a small consideration (the
price we learn was go dollars for 800
of the counterfeit). they would enclose
aud mail the stipulated spurious bills.
All OF these circulars or letters were
written over various signatures, aud
the whole affair on their part was man
aged with considerable skill and adroit-
ness. But one OF the missives falling
into the hand OF the authorities, De-
tective Abbott undertook TO work up
the case; and all the details of the
maneuvorings Of the parties would FIJI
a common sized novel. Suffice to say
that Abbott finally hit upon the right
parties. aud yesterday afternoon, ac-
companied by the U. S. Marshal, he
arrested the young men and brought
them to this village.
IL will be remembered that young
Rarick had but recently came home,
having served a short term of impris-
onment for desertion from the L. S.
army, and it was hoped that his deport-
ment would be such as would occasion
no trouble in the future. In reference
to Wilbur We had supposed he was a
respectable young man, and were sur
prised that he should get into a diff
Guilty Of this kind. The boys confess
ed that they were guilty, but claimed
in extenuation that they had only done
small business, and that their first let
ter vas simply Joke on an old friend.
The fact that they should use the
name of one of our respectable boys 10
cover up their tracks and come near
getting him into a snarl, has a bad
look and the result Of the whole affair
should afford a salutary warning TO
our boys and young men, not TO think
for a moment Of getting a dime or
dollar without fairly earning il, or Civ
ing a square and honest equivalent. -

Struggling with That Tax Decision.

Our board Of Supervisors spent the
entire dag Thursday in discussing the
tax question. The Supervisors from
northern townships secuted at the idea
and at the probability OF the board ar
riving at satisfactory conclusion
Late in the afternoon the chairman
rose and said that be considered the
question of such vital importance that
he had that day called upon Judge
Green, whom he knew to be thorougly
familiar with the subject, and asked
his opinion. The Judge replied that
the statute always required the assess
ing OF property at its true cash value;
that the apathy in the matter. in view
Of the late decision Of the Supreme
Court Of this State, might now be con-
sidered ss ended, and he considered
any supervisor who assessed property
at less estimates than the letter Of the
statutes prescribed, did il at great risk /,
and that the court would declare void
any assessment il appealed. On many
OF the blocks in the city, back taxes
have accumulated. amounting in the
aggregate TO thousands OF dollars, and
will never be collected, as they were
assessed IN open defiance Of the stat
ute. Judge Green gave his opinion
TO the chairman under the condition
that il would be submitted TO the
board. The supervisors finally voted
in favor OF assessing at a real cash
value without dissenting voice Bay
