COLUMBUS VERSUS MONTGOMERY

Having frequently alluded to the proposed
narrow gauge railroad from Montgomery to
Troy, Ala. and suggested that whenever it
became fixed fact Col Wadley would extend
the Mobile and Girard Railroad to such point
below Troy IS might be selected for a termi-
nus, am glad to confirm my suggestions
with fixed facts. The Montgomery road is to
run to Elba, some thirty mics below Troy, and
through section OF country that trades ex-
tensively with the latter city. Thousands of
bales of cotton could be turned away from
Columbus and Savannah by this new road
But the Mobile and Girard Railroad extension
or narrow gauge feeder. will te pushed
ahead as fast and az far as the Montgomery
road may go. Should the latter enterprise be
abandoned, as it may, the former will also be
laid upon the shelf. Columbus and the Cen
tral Railroad spent large sums of money and
performed great deal of hard work to COM
plete the Mobile and Girard Railroad, and they
propose to reap the good results thereof.

She is miserable out Of society, she is
cot happy in it. The society girl is
oftentimes no vain silly thing, but a
woman with q capacity for something
nobler. She must be educated, amiable
and brilliant to shine in the social
world. She will need to talk in French
with members of the foreign legations,
to have a little smattering of science OF
philosophy for the %sayant, and some
political talk for the politician. She
should be good at repartee, and it will
be well for her if she can sing, play
Beethoven's sonatas, and take a hand at
whist. All these talents and accom-
plishments she will need TO use in

the Silent Woman, with pictures of o

to a woman, with the word "wedlock"

Although the climate and soil of
America are we'll adapted to the produc-
ton of the choicest varieties of flowers,
yet we Americans are shamefully def
cient in this respect compared with
England and France. Everywhere in
E~ngland-in the farm houses, in the
cottages, in town and c~ity-fowers
abound at all times. You see them in
the door-yards, in the windows, running
and blooming vines, from the basement
to the fourth story of houses, We rarely
see anything of the kind in this country.
1t should be one of the most pleasing
objects Of farm life to promote agreater
love for flowers, as well as their more
extensive cultivation.

Immense Tide MnYeS.

Where the tide moves in all at once
from the ocean, the phenomenon is called
an eagre or bore. According to Dana
the most perfect examples are found at
the mouths of the rivers Amazon, Hoogly
lone Of the mouths Of the Ganges) and
Tsienang, in China. In the case Of the
aforementioned river the wave plunges
on like an advancing cataract, four or
five miles in breadth and thirty feet
high, and thus passes up the stream, to
Il distance of eighty miles, at a rate Of
twenty-five miles an hour. The change
from ebb to food tide is almost instan-
taneous. Among the Chusan islands,
just south Of the bay, the tidal currents
run through the funnel-shaped firth
with a velocity Of sixteen miles an hour.
In the cagre of the Amazon the whole
tide passes up the stream in five or six
waves, following one another in rapid
succession, and each twelve to fifteen
feet high.

PARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Asparagus and strawberries.

A correspondent Of the american Far
mer gives his mode Of ~cultiyating these
crops:
1.-TWO years ago I had planted a piece
of ground seven feet wide and two hun
dred feet long, thickly with Conover's
Colossal Asparagus. Last February l
ran a board, n foot high, on the north
and one six inches high on the south
side Of the strip, exactly as We set cold
frames. The asparagus had been cut
lightly the season before, and was clear
ed of in November and covered with
four inches of horse manure. This was
worked up with a t~hree-horse spring
tooth cultivator, and two bushels of salt
and one Of Peruvian guano sown and
narrowed in. 1 then sowed with Wake
field cabbage seed, put up the boards,
covered imme diately with glass, protec-
ton being g%iven.at night by mats.
'In nine days | saw the first shoots
and in fourteen days cut two punches,
which sold at eighty cents per bunch.
The glass was left on till April 1st, when
1t was used to protect tomatoes, there
having been sold to that time $50 of as
paragus. We continued cutting from
the bed through the season, and from
the poor growth made in the fall l am
sure we should have stopped cutting
much sooner than we did. Unless one
has a surplus of glass, there is too much
work in thus forcing this crop, and 1
shall not repeat the attempt. The cab
bage plants sow did very well.
81 know it is not the custom Of grow
ers generally to cultivate in the spring
before picking, but last spring 1 gave
four acres of Wilson Albany's two work
ings, the first with the Davis drag,
deeply, and the second with the Iron
Age %cultivator, lightly +; and followed
with ox-carts astride the row, mulching
with sea-weed and strawy barnyard ma
nure. The yield was nearly doubled
on the mulched portion, they selling
for nearly $500 per acre. The season
was remarkably dry. By the way, for
a shipping and yielding berry, I think
Wilson still stands No. l.
"The five acres of peas and strawber-
ries did nicely. Small peas were plant
ed the first week in March, in four-feet
rows well-rotted compost and Agency's
Favorite used in the row. AS soon as
they made their appearance, with a very
small pillow a small list was thrown in
the centre, and strawberries (Sharpless
and Charles Downing planted eighteen
inches apart, by removing the moist
earth with the hand, so they would
stand nearly on a level with the sur
face they were then worked with a
narrow cult vator. When we had fin
ished picking the peas, which paid well,
We bar-plowed the strawberries so as to
completely cover the pea vines; in one
week worked the list down with the
Davis drag, and continued to work
every ten days. When the snow came
they formed continuous line Of strong,
stocky plants, about two feet wide, that
encouraged me to hope for a handsome
return next June"

Chip Manure in Setting out Fruit Trees.

Repeated trials have proved that chip
manur or the old debris Of the wood
pile is n of the very best materials to
mix in the soil as the tree is being
planted, for the reason that besides the
moisture it imparts to the roots of the
tree it is full Of the elements of plant
food, and thus promotes a most luxuri-
ant and healthy growth. If, therefore,
SOM two bushels of this kind of man
ure are properly used in setting, the
tree will not only be more likely to live,
but make double the growth the first
year than if set without it.
