WE surrender large portion of

sue TO the second of Mr.. Offender
fer's series of articles upon the cul-
ture of tobacco, as published in the
Ne,o Era. A careful reading of this
chapter in the light of our own limit
ed experience shows us nothing
whatever to criticise or object to. All
of the advice given in it is sound to
the core We venture, however, to
suggest an improvement in the meth.
ods given by the author for making
his ridges and leveling them for the
setting of the plants, by way Of econ
omy in time and labor. Instead of
using the common plow for making
them, we use the double corn plow
or "scraper,' common in this county,
setting the wings so close as TO
make n complete ridge, and having
one lead the other slightly, to give
any stones or clods which may chance
to be thrown mp, n chance TO roll
down to the bottom Of the ridge. In
this way we manage to do double
the amount of work, and make
straighter and more uniform ridges
than any we have seen done with the
common plow. When n sufficient
number have been made we hitch the
team TO n common field roller, one OF
the light kind made with cart wheels
filled in with plank, in two sections,
with doubletree and neckyoke long
enough to permit the team TO "strad-
die" t1co rows, and drive up and down
the ridges, rolling and lcvcliDg in the
best manner two at time. Unless
there is some objections 10 lcveling
and packing the entire ridge instead
OF only the spots on which the plant
is TO grow, of which we are not aware,
this makes quite as good work as can
bc made with hoe, and il will be
readily seen that this saving in time
and labor at hurrying period in the
season Is very great.

by their mothers is sometimes very
annoying and money-losing. Recently,

pigs, which she commenced making her

the desired effect, and no more of the
pigs were killed; two had already been
eaten.

We have had several enquiries made as

An article in the October number of
the Planter and Farmer from Mr..
Norman C. Jones, highly commend
ing this form of lime, has served to
excite attention to it. We can see no
advantage in ground lime, but can per
ceive objections to it; the most prominent
OF which is, that it is not in state to de-
compose vegetable matter, and make it
available for plant food. Lime, in tt q
caustic state, is said also to aid in alter
ing the forms of mineral matter and
making that available. After burning.
lime is In condition to act on vegetable
and mineral matter. When not burned.
1T is In an insoluble state, and not in con-
d1tlon to exert such action, and not in a
state to be taken up readily by plants
into the composition of many of which it
freely enters. These seem strong argu-
ments against ground lime. The theory
seems to be that being then carbonate
1T furnishes carbonic acid for plant
growth. 1t is true that plants require
much carbonic acid, but that is readily
obtained from the atmosphere, and water
passing through lands after rains, and
from dews. In the November number of
the Planter and Farmer, DR.. Elzey COM
ments on this topic brought to his no.
tlce by the letter of Mr.. Jones referred
to, and he expresses opinions substantially
agreeing with those have Just advanced
If ground lime has the merit claimed
tor 1T, we do not think it can be accounted
for on any theory known to chemists.
1t is we'll for this matter to be tested on
the soil, and we advise the farmers who
have the opportunity to try it in small
way on their lands. We wish the farm
ers could be persuaded to use lime and
mari more freely than they are doing
We look on it as very important, and as
beng the best basis to commence on in
the Improvement of lands.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
The strange Death OF Chas. G. Miller
I'm Virginia.

On last Friday Chas c. Miller died O
injuries received in Gold Hill while he
was milking COW. The Coroner's
Jury found that his death resulted from
unknown causes, but facts recently de-
veloped lead to a suspicion of foul plly.
| John Alexander, the dead mans half
brother, has been arrested on suspicion
of having committed the deed. 1t was
at first supposed that Miller died from
Il kick of the COW he was milking, but
an examination of the wounds revealed
marks which could not have been made
either by the h0ofs or horns of a cow.
On Sunday Johannah Kelly, domestic
who had been in the employ of DIR.
Hall, secretly left Gold Hill leaving
note to the effect that she would be
many miles away when the note was
discovered. The cause Of her leaving
so suddenly IS explained by the fact
that she has some knowledge of the
circumstances attending the death of
Miller, and she is mortally afraid of
Alexander, who is now under arrest
ch,rged with killing Miller. The officers
believe the testimony of the woman
would f:asten the crime upon Alexander.
She was called before the Coroner's
jury, but begged off, stating then that
she would not swear positively to any
thing, and that she was afraid Alexan-
der would kill her if she testified. She
will be brought btck if it is possible to
discover her whereabouts.

SWEATED COINS.
A VexatiOuS Financial Problem.

In Reno the nuisance arising from
the circulation of mutilated coins has
become so pronounced that steps are be-
ing taken by merchants to protect the M
selves against the swindle. At the Z.
). MINIS throughout the country double
eagles-or, in Western phrase, twenty
dollar pieres-with holes in them are
worth $I9; silver dollars with holes in
them are worth s. cents; half-dolIars,
30 cents; quarters, Is cents, and dimes
) cents. This is an order of the govern
ment, and parties should look out for
their rights. In San Francisco there
are parties who make a regular business
of sweating coins by filing the rims,
boring holes through the piece, and
half a dozen other devices. The most
common Way is to bore the coin. These
coins are now refused in San Francisco
and in consequence the interior is
flooded. Wherever merchants firmly
r fuse to take them at par they soon dis
appear. at the same time this is apt t.
work a hardship upon innocent PERSONS
who have taken them at par unmindful
of their deprecated value. The chip,
from mutila,ed coins are less than five
percent of their real value and those
who follow the business would doubtless
make more or fully as much by follow
ing some honest employment.

as the Enterprise says, that sculptors and
painters place their names upon their
work. The name of Powers appears
upon his famous statue of the Greek
slave. 1t is not branded in letters half
an inch deep upon the brow of the slave
but is cut in small letters in an out of

Those who look at the work see the
statue at glance, but are obliged to
search for the name of the sculptor.
