tor all the dry muck that our neigh
bors would bring him from a certain
muck bed, and that he went on year
after year gathering splendid crops
from what had been a poor graVely
piece of almost waste land, ali be-
cause he did not know muck is not
manure" | have always supposed
muck to consist OF a deposit of hu>
mus which was either made by a
rank vegetable growth which with
innumerable insects, had rotted up
on the ground, or else to have been
swept there by water from higher
ground. A part of the quotation
above goes to show that my under
standing of the matter is a correct
one, but yet it seems to shut off hui
mus from being a fertilizer, which l
in my ignorance had never supposed
could be done.
There is no use to say that there is
some muck that is nearly free from
sand, or that the 1000 pounds could
be thrown out on the bank to dry, so
that only the 200 pounds of dry hui
mus need be hauled to the barn, if
it is of no other use than for an alb
sorbant, and scarcely worth hauling
for that. Now a statement made
with science to back it, is always
worthy of consideration; and the
statements above quoted, if they are
not contradicted by actual experts
ment are certainly worthy Of the
most serious consideration by those
farmers who are annually laying out
time and money on muck, tor as the
writer says: Farmers cannot afford
to be deluded or led astray on any
point.
"Gentiemen please to give as the
results of your experiments with
muck. Signed,

The SOLID SOUTH.-The Mountain
Herald of Hinton, w. Va, concludes
an article on the subject of the Solid
South as follOws:- l,.ts.
1.-THE South was not always solid
Some four or five States were In the
hands of the Republican party, but they
abused their power to such an extent as
to arouse the people, who drove them
from place and power, and installed IN
their stead Democrats. Since the South
became solid, she has been happy. con-
tented, and prosperous. Peace relgns
throughout her borders, from the Poto-
mac to the Rio Grande. Her fertile
fields, and hospitable climate yield large
returns to honest toll, and the places
made waste by war and famine are fast
being made to smile with abundance
and prosperity. The last census shows
great increase in population, and all
the elements of maternal prosperity in
the "Solid Socth.n In view of these
facts, we respectfully ask our Republi-
can friends to point out to US the evils
flowing from Solid South. We know
the advantages and blessings of a Solid
South, for we have realized them, and
we most earnestly desire to be informed
as to WHY the South should not remain
Solid. The only danger we car see in 9
Solid South is, the danger to the Repub
Iicun party. The Solid South constant
ly menaces the supremacy of the Re
publican party in the United States, and
we suspect there is where the shoe
pinches our Republican brethren.
The South should remain solid unit
the North sets them a better example
then it will be time enough to consider
about dividing"

The other day when man rang the

WHEN TO TRIM PEACH TREEs.-At
recent meeting of the Elmira IN. W
Farmers Club the subject, when to
Trim Peach Trees" was introduced.
Members who expressed opinions con-
corning the matter agreed that young
peach trees at time of setting out should
have the limbs all cut back, in fact
trimmed like whips in most cases, and
little or no trimming after that. except to
cut off dead limbs or twigs and to remove
limbs that may be in the way. If growth
starts from the body near the ground
it was advised to pinch off such buds
when they are soft. Peach trees do not
sprout from the ground great deal, but
when they do, that g.owth should be
checked. Peach trees should grow low,
with thick heavy tops.

As they seemed to have no use for US we
let them alone. The men were active
politicians, identified with the party
which seemed bent on our ruin. True,
there were exceptions. There were
those who showed by their lives that
they had come to do the negro good and
us too. As soon as we found out such
we gave them due respect. We did not
object to their work. If they had con-
suited our preachers and philanthro-
pists, for we have them, and sought
their co operation, they would have
gladly Joined with them, but they did
not. We did not like them or their
methods, and we let them alone.
These are the two stories.

A CHARACTER SKETCH.

The mule seemed pensive. even sad,
AS If by conscience pricked;
But when they came to share his woes,
He raised objections-kicked.
The cat came up to sympathize,
with NEW and gentle purr;
Alas she got within his reach,
When-fddlestring and fur.
The dog, in pity, neared him to
Alleviate his care;
he tried to pass around him once,
iBut-sausage, meat and hair.
And John, the honest farmer boy,
Who had the beast in charge,
Tried recklessly to harness him
His funeral was large.
Oh. trifiing were the causes which
His flexible legs unfurled;
And many were the quadrupeds
That sought another world.
He never did q decent thing;
He wasn't worth ducat;
He kicked and kicked until he died,
And then he kicked the bucket.

It is becoming more and more appa.
rent every day that Republicans, with.
out regard to the debt question, will af-
filiate with the Readjusters in order to
secure the repeal of the capitation tax
and thereby recruit their forces by the
addition of thirty or forty thousand ne
groes. Whether they maint in their
seperate organization or not, there will
probably be an alliance, with that OBJ
ject in view, and in order to retain their
offices the Readjusters who followed
Malone will stick to his colOrs, even
should negro domination in Virginia be
the price of their success.-Far other
wise it will be however with that class
of Readjusters who voted the regular
Democratic ticket at last election, when
the object of the combination is fully
understood to be, not the settlement Of
the public debt, but the building up of
the Republican party by the increase of
its negro voting element.-There is.
therefore, no need to go back on our
record on the debt question in order to
secure the cooperation of Democratic
Readjusters The issue of manhood
suffrage" which the Republican debt
payers will make supreme in the can
vass, will likewise be regarded as SUI
preme by Democratic Readjusters, and
that issue may overshadow all the rest.

BE KIND TO THE CHILDREN
[Courier- Journal oh, yes; they
worry you with their noise and prattle.
but if the little feet should slip away and
the chattering tongue be stilled forever,
think you would ever hear music SO
sweet again? All, how they cling to
YOU for protection, even as the little vine
clingeth to the sturdy oak, and it lies in
your power to raise or crush these ten.
der vines. They are q source of great
care and anxiety to you J.; they tire you
with their opportunities, but if they
were removed, oh, how heavily the
hours would hang! You would then
pine for the cares of which you now
complain would be always wishing for
q broken doll to mend or a muddy boot
to clean. Be gentle with the children {;
chide them in way that will lead them
to see their error. Let not the flowers
that are springing up in their young
hearts be stunted by harsh, unfeeling
words.
Be patient, too, with them. They tax
YOU heavily at times. They are often
careless, frequently willful, sometimes
disobedient and rude; but they love you
yes, they love you-and with their
love and sympathy you are amply re-
warded for your patience. There may
be time when you will look Rack to
these as your happiest days-a time
when the bright faces that surround you
now may be waiting somewhere on the
other shore, when every unkind word
and act will loom up before you and
cause you unceasing regret. Be kind
to the little ones.
