MUCK ON SANDY SOILS.-In some
portions of the Southern States they
are beginning to find out that muck
hauled upon sandy soils tends to ia
crease their produotiveness. Even
pure clay hauled upon light sandy
soils, and intermingled, has been fol>
lowed by excellent results, the laud
increasing its crops full fifty per cent
Where clay or muck is as convenient
Of transportation as manure, there IS
no question but it's application as here
suggested would prove Of the most
decided advantage. Even in gardens,
where the soil has become exhausted
by long, continued cultivation, a
dressing Of clay is far better than a
coat Of the best

PROFITS OF HEAVILY MATURING
CLAY SOFIA writer in the New
York Tribune says the plots which
his father MANFRED SO heavily thirty
years ago yielded far heavier wheat
this year than the other portions of
the field. From the yield Of one load
tailed and thrashed by itself. he es~
Inmates the produce as over twenty
bushels par acre. "Our clay" he
Jays, "does not soon forget a heavy
manuring." This fact is not unknown
to many observing c%ultivators Of tie
soil. The profits derived from a
heavy application Of manure are not
to be calculated merely from the adj
ditional produce of one crop. The
improvement Of the soil from the good
cultivation, and more still, from the
heavy manuring ia n season, makes
itself known in the increased profits
reaped by the farmer in succeeding
years.

EFFECT OF SELECTING SEED.-For a
a considerable number of years much
attention has been paid to the breed
ing of the different classes of animal /,
with the best results. Cows have
been bred with a view to the produc-
ton Of the richest milk, toe greatest
amount of butter. &c horses to the
development of both muscle and speed
sheep for the production of the best
mutton and wool. swine for the pro
duction of the most and best pork.
and fowls for the production OF the
greatest number of eggs. &c. But the
principles of breeding have scarcely
been applied to seeds and similar ef-
fects upon tubers. While in some ia.
stances the best seeds of any pArticu-
lar variety may have been selected for
future use, 1t was done with no especi,
al view to developing any particular
valuable quality and yet there seems
to be an appropriateness in making
such selection in the use of seeds, corn

the end of the third days exposure,

Nothing but ultimate ruin stares
hat farmer in the face who does not
pay personal attention TO the minute
details of his farm. There are u
thousand small leaks about the man

bring hard working farmers 10 ruin
and bankruptcy. A large portion of

account of~the system of composing
practiced by Cul. Cloud, of Screyen
county. Ga. will be read with interest !:
"Col. Cloud fills his stables and barn

hickory leaves taken from the forest,
Oh wire grass taken in a green state
with turf and mould. lie lets the
stock tram it for about two months,
then puts it in pens, mixed with cot

this method he has succeeded in com.
posting a better fertilizer than he can
buy. and is benefits are perceptible
for three years"

The COUNTY RoADS.-A gentleman
writing recently from Warren
ty, N. c., abiding to the roads, said
that, towing to the freezes they
were in desperate condition when the
thaws came on" and thinks that
overseers should be required to ditch
the roads both sides and cross lay
with poles wherever necessary There
is no doubt that proper ditching is
what a large proportion of the roads
need. So long as the road bed is
filled with water it will be a bad road.
Thorough drainage would prevent
the slush and mire in winter and
leave a hard firm road. The bed Of
the road must be put above the water,
and there should be frequent outlets
to convey the water away from the
roads. 1t is not a difficult or costly
matter to have good roads in level
districts. Thorough drainage will do
it, and at less cost than any other pro
cess. Now that spring is here work
upon the roads may begin. Let it be
work that will tell-work that will
pay. Good roads are paying invests
ments.-MessengeT.

MRS. PHOEBE YATES PEMBER'S
SOUTHERN WOMAN'S STORY'S.-Private
Fisher remained through all his trials
stout, fresh and hearty, interesting in
appearance and so gentle-mannered
and accomplishing that we all loved
him. Supported on his crutches he
had walked up aud down his ward for
the first time since he was wounded,
and seemed almost restored. That
same night he turned an exclamation
Of pain.
Following the nurse to his bed. and
turning down the covering. a small
jet of blood spurted up. the sharp
edge of the s%plintered bone must have
severed an artery. Ii instantly put my
finger on the Ii tie orltice and awaited
the surgeon, He soon ~came-tOok a
long look and shook his head. The eX-
PLANTATION was easy the artery was
imbeded in the fleshy part of the thigh
and could not be taken up. No earth
ly power could save him.
There was no object in OBTAINING DIR.
-. He require his time and his
strength. and long l sat by the boy,
unconscious himself that any serious
trouble was apprehended. The hard
est trial of my duty was laid upon me;
the necessity OF telling a man In the
prime of life and fulness of strength
that there was no hope for him.
1t was done at last, and the verdict
received patiently and courageously,
some directions given by which his
mother would be Informed of his death
and then he turned his questioning
eyes upon my face.
How long can l live -
"Only as long as | keep my finger
upon this artery" A pause ensued.
God alone knew what thoughts hur-
ried through that heart and brain, cal
led so unexpectedly from al earthly
hopes and ties. He broke the silence
at last.
"You can let go."-
But l could not. Not if my own life
had trembled in the balance. Hot
tears rushed to my eyes, a surging
sound to my ears, and a deatbly cold
ness to my lips. The pang of obey~
ing him "a spared me, and for the
first time during the trials that sur
rounded me for four years famed
away.

MANURE THE FRUIT TREEs.-In all
the older States manure is as essential
for the best results in fruit growing
as it is for grain and grass. AS a rule
the orchard is neglected it is taken
for granted that the apple trees. after
they are once planted, will take care
of themselves. Some men think the
orchard can bear a crop of apples end
hay annually, no matter if the orchard
has seen no manure for twelve OF III
tr en- years. AS a general manure,
with reach of all farmers, there Is
nothing better than stable or yard
manure. A dressing Of ten two-horse
loads of manure per acre every year
will promate growth of wood and the
formation of fruit buds. Unleached
ashes are among the best ard cheap
oct mr. for the orchard. A humid
rad bushels to the acre every five or
six years will pay abundantly.

fuse entry to adulterated teas. Here,
according to DR.. Angel, of Boston,
exhausted tea leaves are imported at
a low price as teas" They have been
redried and colored with Prussian blue
or indigo and combined with powder
ed gypsum and turmeric. Every hotel
proprietor knows that his tea leaves
are kept and sold. During the late
war the hospitals were furnished with
tea, and leaf gatherers went about
collecting what was left. 1t is not
probable that the business of fixing
up-renovatirg, in fact-these half
used tea leaves, once SO profitable, is
entirely dead. On the contrary, it is
said that in this city there is a factory
where these leaves are dried on copper
plates, stepped in acid and variously
piled with chemicals until they reas-
sumat their pristine curl, and are sent
forth again in brand new Chinese
paper packages to charm the nostrils
and delight the palates of metropolitan
connoisseurs in pure Bohea. Recently
parties have made their appearance in
they offer pound packages Of tea,"
done up q la ChinOise, and with all the
fimsy paper addenda that go far to
impress the average mind. They sell
these pound packages at the reason
able rate of ten cents. People pur-
chase freely, and some say they can
detect no difference between that tea
and tea for which they pay sixty cents
a pound. Investigation suggests that
hotel refuse is the basis, and that
sunshine and acids are the fupplemen~
tai factors. Purchasers readily detect
the exquisite bouquet, for the bouquet
is there and the gorgeous green, for
that too is there and they shrug their
shoulders when told that the tea is
too cheap for a genuine article, and
altogether too dear at any price if a
manufactured one.

Of this from l to ) per cent was
found in the samples by shaking the
stea'' in a small piece OF fine muslin
over a bit of black paper. 1t does not
appear that a sufficient quantity OF
this coloring matter can be taken by
tea drinking to do material damage to
individuals, but the experiments prove
the existence of the foreign sub
stances, for which the only possible
excuse can be the determination of the
public to encourage the drinking of
the green.
It would be folly in the face of facts
to deny that adulterated 'eas are sold
