FECUNDITY OF PLANTS.

The vast number of seeds which certain
plants bear, insures their continual repro
duction, and upon this point calculation
leads occasionally to unexpected results.
AS many as $4,000 seeds have beeen count
ed upon one stalk of poppy, and not less
than 40, 900 upon a single stem of the of the
tobacco plant. Jodard sets down the num-
Der of seeds that can be gathered from an
elm tree of medium size, at $4,000.
The number of species upon a single
mushroom, as estimated by Fries, is 10000,
900.
Such is the fecunGity of some of the gi-
gantic Lyeoperdon, that microscopic spe-
cies must be counted by thousands Of mill
ions, and although invisible to the eye, each
of these species can produce mushroom
which, in one night, may attain the size
OF large gourd! Other plants OF the same
family produce a still greater number OF
uccessors-indeed the abundance IS so eX-
traordinary, that all the powers of the hui
man intellect do not enable us to compute
their actual number.
| It is evident that if all these seeds attain
| ed development, it would require only a few
generations for these plants to cover the
whole surface of the globe. But a multi
tude of causes retard their threatened inya
| sion q7aculturat World.

AGRICU l 7 ] RAJ.

In a country like ours where farmers are
SO far from market and such great amount
of wagon transportation is required, it is
very essential that farmers make prepara-
tions to do their own freighting. There is
often as much profit in transporting farm
produce to market as there is in growing it,
and since times are narrowing down to
states basis it is essential that farmers make
it point to do their own transporting and
thereby get all that is in Their products. To
be prepared to carry on farming in good
shape is to be able to do freighting also {;
but great many have no teams except
common cayuses which are not fit for gard
ening. much less farming and freghting.
1t is necessary to have good farm horses.
There is no money in hiring men at from
$50 to $50 per month to work with little
cayuse teams. Supply the farm with good
horses, and when fall comes they will be Of
service on the road in freighting the seasons
product to market. Good heavy freight
wagons are of much service in getting out
fencing. building timber and wood, and
money invested in such is not misspent, for
until we have railroads throughout our val
leys we will have to depend upon wagon
transportation, and the judicious farmer
will be independent. and not pay out the
profits of a seasons work in getting his
crops to market, but will do his own trans.
porting.

WHICH IS THE BEST.

The best varieties of fowls a man can
breed are those that suit his taste and fancy
best My own favorites are the Asiatics-
the Brahmas, Light and Dark. But if ey-
cry ones fancy led them to breed only these
birds, there would be little room for the
sale of other good sorts; there would be
but slight competition in the chicken trade,
and far less general interest telt in our busi-
ness of fowl-raising.
Therefore, when am asked the question,
"What do you consider the best kinds of
birds we can cultiyate?" l answer, "Just
| that breed which you think will please you
| best and prove in your hands the most
agreeable sort for amusement or proft.''
If your object be to raise fowl stock mere
ly for eggs and market poultry, a cross OF
the Brahmas or Cochins upon the White or
Brown Leghorns will be found an advan-
tageous kind. The progeny of these varie.
ties will make first-class chickens for dead

the road dry, it will doubly pay when dry
ing the road to spread the stuff under the
truit trees.
Many think fruit trees require good rich
manure, and when one talks of manuring
fruit trees he has an idea that valuable ma
terial at so many dollars ton must be pro-
cured. Nothing Of the kind. A ride around
our good old Germantown will show many
an old pear, apple or cherry tree so situat-
ed that simply earth every year washes
down around the stem over the roots, and
it is wonderful how they grow and bear.
Some OF these old pear trees are Seckles,
and the fruit are of size generally to ex-
cite astonishment. This dirt or dirt SINH
lar to it, hauled and scattered under the
large trees has wonderful effect on the
growth and productiveness. About one
load to three or four trees does not take
long to haul and spread as a general thing,
and the good effects will be visible for sew
eral years. We have also seen excellent re-
suits from the use of kitchen ashes spread
under the trees in the same way. We know
that the analytical chemists tell us that there
is no value whatever in coal ashes--that it
is the ashes of wood used in kindling, or
the potato parinngs, slops, or some other
matter thrown in that does all the good.
Perhaps it is no matter about that. These
ashes, with whatever may be in it, are cap
ital material for top-dressing old trees. We
say old trees. 1t will do as we'll for them
so far as that goes but generally there is
grass to NOW around about the trees. and
men do not like to have ashes about where
there is grass to cut. as it is annoying to the
scythe.
These things are seasonable just now. 1t
is good time to do the job, and there is
time to do the good thing. 1t will pay
back all 1T costs in good fruit, and give
good roads, and general cleanliness and tt
dness besides.-Gernaanto'o Telegraph.

MANURING FRUIT TREES-A PRESENT
HINT

One would hardly suppose tnat it was
necessary to say to people that they should
manure their fruit trees. Oyer and over
again we have urged this in our columns.
But universal experience is that fruit trees
are neglected, and experience equally uni
versal shows that it is only by calling re-
peated attention to these matters that peo-
pie do better.
Now is particularly good season for at
tention to this. The heaviest of farm-work
is over and nothing particularly pressing,
and just this kind of thing can be done
with advantage all round.
While orchard-trees are young, and crops
cultivated between them, they get along
toerably we'll. Garden or farm crops can
not be grown without manure. Every
body knows this. They are manured and
the trees steal some oft. But the time
and crops cannot be grown to advantage
any more. and then all manure for the fruit
trees stops forever. They generally &C
back after this. The leaves get yellow. the
fruit poor and knotty, and much falls off il
dry time.
Just here comes in another idea. Every
body wants or ought to want good roads
One of the best ways to keep roads good i
to keep bitches open and clean. This let
of the water easily; it is water on roads
that spois them. Then this ditch-stutf il
is capital for trees. II it will pay to keel

poultry, if well fed and properly managed.
The sitting inclination of the Chinese fowls
is thus modified, and the good egg-laying
qualities of the Leghorns tend to increase
their prolificness by such cross.
Then we have the Plymouth Rocks-a
which have proved very good layers, gen.
orally speaking, and which come early to
maturity for killing purposes, when de-
sired. But whatever breeds one may keep,
the sort that best suits his own taste in size,
color and characteristics, is the ''best kind"
at least to experiment with at the outset

PLANTING FRUIT TREES FOR OTHERS

The Spaniards have maxim that man
is ungrateful to the past generation that
planted the trees from which he eats fruit,
and deals unfairly towards the next genera
ton unless he plants the seed, that may fur
nish food for those who come after him.
Thus, when spaniard eats peach or a
pear by the roadside, wherever he happens
to be, he digs a hole in the ground with his
foot and covers the seeds. Consequently
all over Spain, by the roadsides and else
where, fruit in great abundance tempts the
taste and is ever free. Let this practice be

THE POULTRY YARD.
FEEDING FOR EGGS.

Hens can not produce eggs unless their
feed contains the elements of which the egg
is composed. The kind of feed that is Of
fered to hens must be determined by the
object to be attained in feeding them. Hens
intended for the market should be fed that
kind of grain which is known to contain a
large percentage of the fatty or contains
larger share of albuminoids or oily sub
stances. But hens kept as layers should be
fed on that kind of grain which contains
producing elements.
In addition to the essential quality of al
bumen required in the organism of the fowls
the laying hens require an extra amount for
ovation-the white of the hens eggs being
about twelve per cen. of albumen-and this
must be furnished in her feed. BY referr-
ing to chemical analysis of the different
cereals, it will be seen that corn contains
the greatest amount of fatty substances,
while wheat contains q larger amount of al
bumen than any other cereal. TO procure
eggs, feed wheat. Meat once day, in win
ter, will prove beneficial to laying hens.
/ allow my hens to have free access to
troughs always kept we'll filled with wheat
screenings from the mill. If allowed to
choose their own time for eating, hens will
eat often but little at a time-never too
much. Chickens should be furnished
with plenty of limestone gravel.
Some say pure water is essential to laying
hens. Iprefer to give them milk, as that
! fluid not only serves to moisten their food
but also contributes albumen, which goes to
| the formation of the egg.
I OF course the kind of TODD, when there is
not much variety, will have special effect
on fowls, animals or men; but we doubt
whether this rule of selecting fatty or oily
grains to produce fat, and other grains con.
tanning "albumoids" in abundance to ob.
tain eggs in preference to fat, is a rule
which sagacious poultry breeders will gen
orally heed. A far better rule, in my jud
ment, is to let the flock select thei1 owl
food as far as possible-that is, let then
have access to such food as is known to sui
them: let them have all they will eat of it
and '';.lbuninoids' and the fatty and oil,
substances which it is deemed they shoult
possess will not be slow in forming part Q

are to be fried in asaucepan. When brown
take out and put in as much cabbage as
will nearly fill the pan. When done put
the sausage on top of the cabbage and let
cook slowly until the cabbage is tender.
Boiled Potatoes.-W Wash.the potatoes, leave
the skins on and throw into boiling, salted
water. When fork will easily pierce
them, throw in small dipperful of cold
water. Let stand two minutes, throw OFT
the water and stand on the back of the
stove, with the pot lid half removed, until
the steam is eyaporated. Take up, peel and
send to the table in an open dish.
Crazy for Potatoes.-Put spoonful or
more OF butter, according to the quantity
OF potatoes you have, into afrying pan and

cup of thin sweet creanl-or milk, if one
has no cream-pour into the Drowned but
ter, boil up, season with pepper and a little
salt if necessary, and turn over the boiled
potatoes. This is very nice way to serve
small potatoes.
Potatoes and O'sions.-Boil potatoes until

see through them. If for breakfast, pre-
pare them the night before and let stand in
a dish Of icc-cold water. Just before frying
drain them from the water and wipe them
dry with CLOTH Fry only a few at time
in boiling lard as you would dough-nuts.
Before putting in the potatoes, separate the
slices from each other and do not attempt
to cook more at q time than you can keep
separate. Tend with fork, tossing them
over and oyer until Drowned evenly and
delicately. Take up with a. skinner and
place on q seive. Sprinkle with salt.

UNION ITEMS.

MR. EDITOR: l occasionally see in your excellent county paper, scraps of news from different sections of the county, as we'll as of the State; now this is a quick and cheap way to get interesting, and sometimes very impor- tant news, and as you have solicited short scraps from different parts, send you the following items from our section:
 The prospects for wheat are much more flattering than they were two weeks ago.
 Farmers are now actively making preparations for another crop.
 Julius Reed expects to get his new house ready to move into this week. Several new houses are going up.
 Mr. Gideon and his new bride have dissolved co-partnership; mutual of course. Can't some one suggest CO., hesive? This is not the first marriage firm that has "busted" in our section. Tell Esq. Pollock to ''jine 'em faster. :"
 Old Mrs. Darr, (mother of Eph. and Jim our enterprising Atkins merchants) has been confined to bed about nine weeks-spinal trouble.
 Measles supposed to be at Mir. Bells. Great dread of it prevails.
 Parson Corley preached twice for us last Sabbath. After the close of the morning service Brother Wash Austin was unanimously recom- mended as suitable person for license to exhort.
 Mir. Roberson, long citizen of Texas has been spending a few weeks here with his nephew and niece, Ali. Rob- erson and Mrs. Pollock.
 Dave Blackburn, our handsom young bailiff is wide-awake on the matrimo- nial question: mean prospeetively We have a lively bevy of young folks here.
 What has become of the court house case is question Frequently asked. OCCASIONAL.

 Mir. Six says "the town is paying outside of it's limits the sum of thirty eight hundred dollars for the benefit of having good school" Is this a necessity2 And does Six know that there are eight of Prof. Doggett's former pupils in the State University, and that five of that number entered square and full into the Freshman class of that grand institute? and that one of the most advanced in that class, (one who followed him from 8 former location,) said in letter to a friend here, that he learned more under Prof Dis tuition than from any teacher he ever went to in the same length of time, or ever expected to agalnf Such IS the fact. l am happy to in form the public that the present school here, not only proposes to prepare students for the Freshman, but to enter in full the Sophomore class of any College or University in this broad land. In concluding this paper, let me say, there is not man in Russelville, aside from the writer, who is prepared from personal ob- servation, to pass judgment on our school. 1 an informed by Prof. Doggett, there has not been single citizen except myself who has visit ed his school to witness hls mode of teaching, (though lie often solicited it.)s
 1 believe with Six that no denom national school would, or could be q success here now; nor do l think it is desired by any denomination. Bnt if we must reject school, sim | ply because It's teachers choose to BELONG to some DENOMINATION, then indeed may we reject nearly every school in the whole country; for, be it said to the honor of this nation, nearly all our schools are controlled | by men and women of sufficient Christian convictions to ayow or adopt some system of eligious faith.
 But denominationalism and sec tionalism are two and very different l things Then let all rally to the present enterprise, and make such q school as will absolutely DEMAND en larged facilities; and men of wealth and of smaller means will not be found wanting who will say "let us arise and bulld.'
