The Committee of the County Board
on Roads are Just now doing some
efficient work throughout the county in
Strengthening roads, making new ones,
&c, having ample power with the entire
Board in this respect. It requires pecul-
lar tact, and a thorough knowledge of
the subject. to change roads, assess
rightful damage, &c; but we believe
these men are are perfectly fair, as well
as competent in every respect. Thus

THE donkey is marvellous ami
NAL in point of voice. His braying
power varies inversely as his size.
The large Spanish Jack, whose bray
can be heard distance OF thirty
four miles-as computed by Prof.
HuXley-is reduced to silence when
he enters into competition with a
small London donkey not half his
size. The smallest, and at the same
time the loudest, of all sdOnkeys is
the Mexican blue burro, a little
beast not much larger than a New
foundland dog. 1t was a donkey
of this variety that in 1867 put his
nose into the door of a Protestant
mission chapel in Minitlautepell
and brayed the preacher and the
entire congregation, numbering five
souls and fifteen MeXieans, out of
the back window. The unfortun-
ate congregation was whirled before
the awful blast like leaves before q
hurricane, and even the roof Of the
mission chapel was lifted and seri-
ously strained. The noise was dis
tinctIy heard as far as Chicohualt-
lac, distant eighty-five miles, where
it was mistaken for the roar of an
approaching cyclone, and so greatly
alarmed the people as to Temporal
rily interrupt business and put a
stop to the mornings revolution.

The English Wheat Crop.

Mr.. Jennings telegraphs the fol-
lowing to the New York World
from London:
The dry weather since Wednes-
day has enabled the farmers to get
in their crops, though very badly
damaged. All the new wheat that
l have seen had sDrouted, and is
therefore unfit for baking purposes,
as the flour from sprouted wheat,
besides being too sweet, will not
rise i'm dough. The crop all round
is not much over 60 per cent. of an
average one. Just now the supply
of foreign wheat being unusually
small, the farmers are getting high
prices, which will, in some meas
ure compensate them for the def
cheney, but the arrival of foreign
cargOes will soon cause decline.
The loss by the disastrous season
will fall principally on the land
lords. For the last two or three
years they have been changing up"
the rents, and there is hardly a
farmer who does not owe at least
eighteen months gale.
This year the tenants hoped to
be able to clear off the arrearages,
but instead of that they will be
compelled to ask for another years
credit. The landlord who has to
meet settlements and jOintures on
his estate, come rain or shine, will
be forced to clap on another mort
gage, and many of them, already
mOrtgaged up to the eyes, will
have to settle with the sheriff.
saw q great many farmers in
my recent rambleS through the
midland counties, and they told
me that bad crop this year would
drive them out of agriculture alto
gether. 1t is hard thing for a
man who has worked early and
late to have the fruit of his toll de-
stroyed for seven years in success
sion, and just as hard for the land
lord to have to weigh himself down
with n new mortgage before he is
able to pay the first years interest
on the last one.
The weather is still extremely
cold and unreasonable, and the
growth of the root crops has been
checked. Tourists are fastening
home, for the weather is as bad as
on the continent.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1881-09-17

A correspondent of the Smith
county Progress makes the follow
ing sensible and timely suggestions,
in view Of the partial failure of the
crops:
Inc writer remembers the drouth
OF 1854. Ii commenced in July and
lasted till past the middle of Septem-
Der. 1t seemed almost alarming
and a number of people predicted
universal want and insolvency. The
result was different. Farmers pro-
vided winter pastures for stock, and
used all their forage in the most eco
nomical manner, and carried their
stock through the winter of 1854 in
good condition.
They sowed wheat and rye extern
sively and the wheat crop OF 1854
was simply enormous. In the eoun-
try distant from railroads, wheat
sold for one dollar to one dollar and
five cents per bushel, after the har-
vest of 1854, aud by the middle of
July the people We're in II good con-
ditIOn financially, / believe better
than they had been for several years
prior. We recommended the early
sowing of winter oats, barley, rye
and wheat, that you may have win
ter pasture, and an abundant crop of
small grain to meet the scarcity that
must prevail in the early summer of
next year. We believe that next
years crop of small grain will be
large if the land for its production
is well prepared. The most urgent
reasons prompt us to make the best
preparations for that crop to supply
| the stringent scarcity that will 9TH
| erWise afflict the country. Heroic
hope, and diligence will bring US
through, but if we sit idly down and
cry for Jupiter to help US, we may
expect suffering.
Save every shuck and every straw
for horses, cattle and mules. Cut
the straw and shucks, fine, have a
little clean water, and moisen them
slightly. Have your corn ground
ana sprinkle one pint of meal on the
moistened shucks-o or straw, for each
head of horses, mules or cattle, and
Iuy word for it you will be amazed
at the fine condition of your stock.
| The best stock men in TenneSsee
consider shucks, when thus prepar-
ed next in value to the best timothy
hay. The amount of meal seems
small. Try it, and you may rely on
the result.
Again have all your corn, which
you intend to feed to your hogs,
ground and cooked, and if possible
shelter your stock when cold wealth
comes. II is safe to say, you may
produce twice the amount of pork,
with the same grain, thus used, Be
sides, the scarcity of corn will make
it necessary to fatten less number
of hogs. Under the circumstances
we ought to use much larger guam
titles of mutton and beef than we
ever did before. IT is perhaps more
wholesome than pork. Cattle and
sheep are now in good condition.
Use them and save your bacon The
writer intends, resolutely, to prac-
tice his own precepts, at all hazards
and to the last extremity, and real
ly has no fear of the comet nor star
walton. 1t may be said that the
plan suggested will be troublesome.
This is true, but the labor will be re
paid in the absence of misery and
want. We may learn many useful
lessons from our present condition,
and we expect to write again of the
present drOuth.

SOME TIME.

Some time think you viii be glad to know
That have kept you ever In my heart,
And that my love has only deeper grown
In all that time that ehave lived apart
Some day when you have slipped away
from care,
And idly fall to dreaming OF the past,
And sadly think ofall your life has missed,
Non Will remember my true love at last
Or may it come to pass some dreary night,
After a day that has been hard to bear,
When you are weary, heart-sick and forlorn
And there is none to comfort or to care.
That you viii close your tired eyes TO dream
OF tender kisses falling soft and light,
OR restful touches smoothing of your hair,
Ard sweet words spoken for your hearts
delight.
Oh then you will remember and be glad
That have kept you in my heart,
Aud that your hearts true home viii still
be there
Although we wander silent and apart.
