ment. Wheat contains both soda and
potash as we'll as chlorine. (the lat
ter and sodium are constituents Of
salt). Salt that has been used for
brine possesses value for fertilizjng
purposes. 1t should be applied to
wheat sufficiently early in the spring
to get the benefit of wet weather, and
at the rate of three to six bushels per
acre. Ten bushels are sometimes
sown.
Sausshes are of tropical origin, and
therefore when spring opens it is use
less to plant them until the soil is
quite warm aud all danger of frost or
cold nights is over. Again, as they
make very rapid growth there is no
necessity of haste in getting the seed
into the ground. Squashes are good
beeders, liking a rich soil. It is best
to manure in The hill. In sowing,
place dozen seeds in each hill, and
when danger from the bugs is over
| pull up all but three Or four. A mel
low, warm soil is the best. For bush
sorts make hills three or four feet
apart. and for running kinds twice
that distance. All winter squasbes
should be ripened thoroughly or they
are wstery, lacking sweetness and
richness, also lacking keeping props

No Beggars Among Jews.

The following from the pen of Rev. j.
81. Campb is bit of testimony which
will be corroborated by all, and will fur
nish SUI bject for sober reflection: In all
my experience among the poor, exte ding
back over fifty years, have never had an
application for charity from an Israeite.
Last week, when wood for the poor was
being distributed. and when people Of
both races and all denominations were
clamoring for their share the Jews stood
entirely aloof They sometimes give me
money for the poor, but never ask charity
for themselves. If there are needy ones
among them they are provided for by
their own brethren. leave it TO others TO
account for these facts. Tney are worthy
of serious consideration, and are hig ly
creditable to the Jews

WEEKLY CHRONICLE.
Items from McMTnn County.
ATHENS, Feb. IA

Mr.. EDITOR: The thermometer
this morning is Is degrees above
zero, and everything is frozen up
again as hard as brick.
From all the information [ can
gather, by observation and inquiry,
I do not think that the wheat in Nc
Mimi county that was sowed early
and that was well put in, either by
drill or broadcast, has been winters
killed to any considerable extent yet.
But the very late sowed wheat must
have been badly injured, if not en-
tirely ruined.
A considerable amount OF cotton
has been raised on the south side OF
McMinn county for the last few
years. The poorest lands of the
farm are planted in cotton, but a
fertilizer of some kind is used in the
row, and those who have heretofore
cultivated it report fine profits there
from.
Athens is to have a hay-press
Messrs. Van Dyke & Kelley, two ems
ergetic young men of Athens, have
recently purchased a Deaderick hay
press, and will have it in operation in
few days. They have purchased a
large amount of loose hay from the
farmers. It seems to me that East
Tennessee might raise and ship hay
south proftably so long as the
South cultivstes cotton. This bust
ness will also encourage our farmers
to raise more and better hay than
heretofore.
McMinn county is, and always has
been, absolutely solid for Maynard,
and we regret exceedingly the IN
fortunate divisions and jealousies in
the Republican ranks that resulted
IN his Senatorial defeat And il
there is any Republican in East Ten
nessee who unsheathed his sword
and threw the ''kiver' away to fight
Maynard in the late Senatorial con-
test, my advice to him, or them, is tc
change his, or their, party relations
at once, or to fling" ambition also
away with the '.kiver' aforesaid
McMinn county may be safely an
chored in the second Congressional
| district in our next divide.
Democrats of McMinn become
quite tacetious when alluding to our
nttle Republican Senatorial wrangle,
forgetting, perhaps, that the great,
gaping, ugly, low-taz, reputation
rent in the Democratic party still
calls loudly for much skillful work
and manipulation in the Legislative
halls and elsewhere.
After next Tuesday, Madam Rumol
says, our worthy postmaster at
Athens will trot in double harness.
but still we confidently expect our
mails will arrive and depart alice
samee.
Also, on the 23d proximo, it is
said, on the same authority, that a
certain Georgia major, from Atlanta,
will capture and carry away one OF
Athens fairest and sweetest flowers.

Destroying Cabbage Worms.

S in Country Gentleman:
The long continued drouth here
induced visitation of cabbage worms
never equalled in the past. The
moths or butterflies came in swarms,
and then followed the worms. AS a
consequence our late cabbage is ruin
ed save in exceptional gardens
About month ago l undertook to
clear my oabbages of the intruders
and went at them with all manner OF
remedies. I used repellants, but they
would not repel; then tried hot
water of the temperature laid down
in the Country Gentleman, to wit: at
ITO degs., ana l apparently killed not
only the worms but every head or
plant to which it was applied. Using
cold soapsuds with light addition
of carbolic acid crisped every thing
but the wopms. / was at my wits
ends, and l felt like adopting Peter
Henderson's creed, that in times OF
drouth the worms could not be sub
dued. AT this juncture applied to
G. V. Riley, the Entomologist OF the
Agricultural Department, for sngges'
tions, carrying him samples of the
various kinds OF worms found on the
