a KEw CHIEF.

The question of the sppolDt@
ment OF new chief signal officer
to succeed General Myer mnst
soon receive the consideration OF
the president. The servicc il q
peculiar one; a part OF the per.
manent army establishment in
time Of peace is employed in
civil duties OF great practical
value and growing importance.
The temper of the country has
been ascertained on the suggis-
tion Of the American Associati0n
for the Advancement Of Sclence
to transfer the meteorological
dutlc- to the treasury or interior
departments, and it Is recognized
that the people wish no change
which might, in releasing 1t from
military disclnIine, prove disas>
trous to its uscfnlness. The sig-
nal service Is special servlca
and its duties require special
stndy, Us d. the duties of the
engineer or ordinance corps. The
subject OF practical meteorology
Is one requiring years of lntelli-
gent study, aud a proper appli-
cation OF Its principles to the lo-
cal weather conditions of the
United States can only be ac-
1qulred by long exper:ence. THIS
knowledge to,day is only possess
/ ed BY the officers OF the signal
Ecorps. The seection of a chief
signal officer should not be made
as reward for military services,
however brilliant. Such an np>
pointment would not deserve the
confidence OF the country aud
would in time react upon itself.
here Is an important opportunity
for the president TO illustrate his
views, which heralded the advent
OF his administration, on the re-
form OF the civil service by se-
leeting for the succession some
one OF the officers who have
proved their competency by years
OF successful work, who are con
yersant with the Details and
present needs of the service and
whose intelligent labor greatly
aided tho genius of General Myei
IN perfecting 1t. The signal SER
vice depends for It's reputation
and for a generous support from
the people, on Its recos nlzed value
as pecuniary aid to the COM
merclal, agricultural anG other
great industrial interests of the
country, and such interests rather
than the purely military Should
be consulted in The selection OF
the new ehiefslgnal officer.

Salt for Trees and Vegetables.

Young fruit trees can be made to
grow and do well in places where old
trees have died, by sowing pint of
salt on the earth where they are to
stand. After trees are set | continue
to sow a pint of salt around each tree
every year. / set twenty-five trees in
sandy soil for each one of seven years,
and only succeeded in getting one to
live, and that only produced twigs a
few inches long in nine years. Last
spring / sowed pint of salt around it,
and limbs grew from three TO three
and hall feet long In the spring of
1877 set out Twenty-Five trees, putting
a pint Of salt in the dirt used for filling
and then sowed pint more on the
surface after each tree was set. All
grew as if they had never been taken
from the nursery. Last spring ] set
thirty more, treating them in the
same way, and they have grown very
finely. The salt keeps away insects
that injure the roots, and it renders
the soil more capable of sustaining
plant growth. In 1877 my wife had
garden forty feet square. 1t was neces-
sary to water it nearly every day, and
still the plants and flowers were very
inferior III all respects. In 1878 put
half barrel of brine aud half a bushel
of salt on the ground, and then turned
it under. The consequence was that
all the plants were of extraordinary
large size and the flowers of great
beauty. TWAS not necessary to water
the garden, which was greatly admired
by all who saw it. The flowers were
so large that they appeared to be of
different varieties from those grown
ON land that was not saltod. had
some potatoes growing from seed, that
wilted down as soon as the weather
became very hot. applied salt to
the surface Of she soil until it was
white. The vines took vigorous
start, and grew TO the length of three
feet, blossomed, and produced tubers
from the size of hens eggs to that OF
goose eggs. My soil is chiefly sand,
but believe that salt is highly bcne-
fclaI to clay or common prairie land.

Spinning Mills i'm the South.

The people of the South who have
money to put in manufacturing enter
prising should build spinning mills.
The south is not rich enough to do
much weaving, but there is no reason
why it should not covert Il good part
of the great crop into yarns. On the
other hand there is the best of reasons
why it shOuld-it will pay. There is
plenty of surplus money in the South
with which to establish spinning
mills, and where there is an abundance
of cheap fuel-not coal, but wood.
We don't refer to mammoth mills but to
little neighborhoOd spinning mills.
These mill should be large enough to
turn the cotton of the neighborhOOd
into yarns, thereby leaving two prof
its in the country that produces the
stapIe-that of the producer, and that
of Che spinner, besides giving employ
ment to class that sOrely needs it.
Nor il this all. The establishment of
spinning mills, leads to the establish
ment of weaving mills, as soon as nee
essary capital and experience are accu-
INFLATED. The two do not necessarily
go together The country should spin
and the town weave; but whether the
towns of the south are ready to weave
or not, there is no good reason why
the men who produce the cotton
should not double their profits by
turning their product in yarns before
they sell it. By not doing 50, we are
letting other sections Of this country
and other countries gather the larger
profits connected with the handling
Of the staple. This is not business
like. Its not common sense. We
need spinning mills in every county.
There are handsome profits in every
such mill, and We believe therefore
that they will soon be forthcoming.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune makes the following sensible
suggestion upon feeding fruit trees !:
"When enriching the soil 50 as'to
procure a good crop of corn and pota-
toes, do not forget to apply liberal
dressing TO the too often neglected
orchard. Rotation of crops cannot be
followed with fruit trees, hence the
greater necessity of Systematically re-
storing the soil, 50 far as may be done,
those elements consumed in the pro-
ductiOn of a crop of fruit. After an
orchard comes into bearing it is com
monty considered able thencefOrth TO
take care of itself-the owner seldom
falling 10 expect fair returns, and the
orchard seldom ever fails to disap-
point. The reason is obvious the
trees are slowly starved, and the fruit
becomes scraggy or small in quantity.
Alternate bearing years are the result
of this treatment, as is shown by the
abundant crops that may be obtained
every year by the thorough cultiva-
ton, provided frOsts does not interfere.
The barren year is natures method of
aiding the tree to collect from rain
and atmosphere material for prOduc-
tive year. 1t is just as reasonable to
expect that a good crop Of corn can be
taken annually for series of years
from a field to which nothing has
been restored as to expect fruit TO
maintain its excellence ON soil that is
constantly growing thinner and poor
CT in needed material.

The Mississippi valley horticultural
Association.

This newly formed association will
hold its first annual exhibition OF
fruits in St Louis ON the seventh,
eighth and ninth of September next.
The st. Louis merchants, with their
usual liberality, have set apart the
magnificent hall Of the Merchants
Exchange for the purpose, free of
charge, and in addition have subscribed
several thousand dollars In cash to be
used as premiums. This shows a
commendable spirit on theirp and
is in direct contrast TO the action of n
majority of our people, who have per-
mitted our horticultural society to
languish for the want of few hun
dred dollars to pay the necessary eX-
penses and offer liberal premiums.
This society, the Fruit Growers
Association of the Gulf States, has
been of immense benefit, not only to
the citizens of New Orleans, but to the
horticulturists of the adjoining States;
yet there was not one exhibit of fruits
at our last exhibition, either from
Alabama, Mississippi, or Texas. Why
this state of apathy should exist, we
are not prepared to answer perhaps
it was owing to the inability of the
association to offer sufficient induce
ments in the shape ofpremiums to en-
courage more liberal display. We
state what we know to be a fact, that
that nine-tenths of the entire exhibit
at the last fair was contributed by the
citizens of New Orleans, and this fact
was so patent to all, that it was sug-
gested by many that the name should
be changed to the Orleans Fruit
Growers association. We have every
thing necessary to success in the Gulf
States-climatc, soil and productions.
No locality on this broad continent is
capable of making larger or finer
exhibit of fruits, flowers, agricultural
products, bees, honey, or wax. Why,
then, should we be behind all the rest
of mankind and allow our immense
resources TO pass unnoticed?
Owing to the failure of the fruit
crop and other more cOgent reasons,
there will be no regular exhibition
this summers; but we trust, before
another season arrives, to be able to
organization of the asso-
citation on permanent basis.
The annual meeting will take place
rs usual, on Wednesday, twenty-first
day of July Essays will be read by
of the association, and all
are expected to contribute specimens
Of such fruits, wines, agricultural pro-
auctions and honey, as may be worthy
Of notice. BY this means the interest
in the association will be kept up and
all be encouraged to continue the good
work.

The secret of succe--lul culture Of
any crop rests on rapid and clean cuI-
ovation. While it is true thai cotton
will await for work. with less injury
tl1n corn, rapid and thorough cult
walton is necessary for the full and
successful development of the plant.
For this, the pillow must be the main
reliance. If the plow is frequently
used, very little hoe work will be ne
crssafy after the cotton il reduced to
a stand. No matter how recently
corn or c,ttGn has been worked, the
pl"ws should be rapidly run over be-
fore a crust forms after our our spring
rains. Southern journals assume that
oar farmers are ncglccting their pro-
vision crops for larger crop Of cotton
We cannot believe they have 50 soon
iureottDn the severe lesson of the past.
We again suggest the planting Of
special patches of select seed, giving
unusaI distance, that the plants may
develop fully and naturally. From
these patches extra fine seed may be
selected for future painting. Every
planter should select his planting seed
from the land which has the best cotton
each year. Now is the time 10 arrange
for growing improved sced.-Southern

The New South.

While politicians are. making a
good deal of noise over the states
rights question the people Of the South
are quietly making substantial indus
trial progress. The crop Of raw cotton
has been materially increased the
past year. The cotton mills in opera
ton have proved very profitable.
New mills are projected. More of the
best agricultural implements and
labor-saving machinery are used on
the plantations. More white people
are going into the field. The signs of
the great industrial change now going
on in the South are plainly visible
everywhere. On the plantation, in
the manufacture Of cotton goods, in
the production Of iron, and in the
rapid development of the railroad in
terest the South is making great
progress. The people of the South are
beginning to learn that the true road
to power is not through the White
House, supported by a swarm of
federal officials. They are learning
that solid wealth is power, and that
wealth il attainable only by working
up their cotton and wool into fabrics
and their ores into metals Memphis
