ty; they should be shaken together
so that the ashes touch every part of
the bones, then wet with water, Just
enough TO dissolve and release the
potash in the ashes, but not enough
to leach the potash to the bottom of
the barrel. The potash dissolves the
gelatine or glue which bind the phos-
phoric acid and the lime together,
and the bones can then be easily
crushed, in fact il its work has been
done we'll the shin bones of an OK
can be picked to pieces, or crushed
with the fingers. Then pound and
mix the dissolved bones and ashes
together, and valuable manure is
produced composed Of phosphoric
acid, nitrogen, potash and lime. If
the ashes are not moistened enough
the potash will not act If too wet it
will leach to the bottom and fail, so
care and judgment must be used.

excellence about them, they insure
frequent cultivation of all crops, If
you would have any harvest. The
labor Of subduing one years seeding
OF these pests is immense. In the
garden especially, no weed should
ever be- allowed to go 10 seed. When
one crop is of, put in another. and
when the last is gathered, plow, or
rake, or harrow, and let the frost
have free play in the soil.

Clean, Dry and Shallow Seed Bed.

Cor u RaraI sew Yorker.
In the case of wheat, new begin
ners are almost certain to err in pre-
pairing a deep and mellow sced-bed.
The error is so nearly a universal
one that wherever it Is seen To exist,
there wheat will be found TO be
comparatively new crop. Thus, with
in the upper cotton belt in Southern
Tennessee and Northern Georgia, the
popular idea prevailing that too much
land and labor are devoted To cotton,
recourse has been had to the winter
wheat crop, and large acreages have
been plowed and sown, upon which,
in almost every case, the curse OF a
loose and spongy secd-bed may be
recognized. But in sections where
the wheat crop has been more or

PROBABLY the very best way TO
protect wheat in the bins from the
weevil Is to thoroughly fumigate the
bias with burning sulphur. This
should be done before the grain is
put into the bins, and repeated in

grain is stored. Some persons use
lime and salt, but there is nothing
better than sulphur.

General Bates Sixty-Eighih
Three Hour Speech.
Special to the courier-Journal

AfNNAN W "a NVuiAIA~0VuludA
NASHVILLE, TENN, November g.
We have but one more river to
cross" shouts the thorough Democrat
at this moment. He has looked upon
every night for the past week as an
obstruction between General Bate
and the hour of success. Tomorrow
will tell the tale, for the battle is
fought, the victory won, and the fruits
will be gathered before sunset on the
9TH. Columbia, the capital of Maury
county, Mr.. FUssell's home, turned
out to meet General Bate. He began
his magnificent speech at the court.
house, and held his audience for more
than two hours. AT its close, General
Whitthor1e, on behalf Of the ladies' of
Columbia, presented General Bate
with a magnificent bouquet. This
was received as no other Tennesseean
could have done. The glowing tribute
he paid to Tennesseeans, and especi-
ally to the brave and beautiful women
Of the State he loved so well, was one
OF the finest ever reached on the
stump. | looked around during this
feeling address and saw a score and
more OF men, young men, middle aged
and old, weeping as | had never seen
a popular audience before. |
learned afterward, as the brilliant
acknowledgment was commented on,
that the old men had lost brothers
and sons in the war, many of them
soldiers in General Bates famous
division, and that the young and
middle aged had lost father and
brothers. 1t is rare that such an eff
fective speech as General Bate made
was ever delivered. He reviewed
Radical encroachment on popular
liberty, especially their use Of the
State debt, as the instrument. 1t
was the sixty eighth three hour speech
that General Bate has delivered dur
ing the ca%mpaign-a glorious winding
up Of the most notable canvass ever
made in Tennessee or the South. What
a brave, wirey, tireless champion the
Democratic nominee isl He has
shown himself one Of the gamest and
greatest men in history. At Colum
bia to-day, as elsewhere, strange as it
may seem, his voice grew in strength
and volume as he neared the three
hours close, and the thrilled and en-
Unused audience packed all the closer
around. A man OF more uncomfortable
pluck never lived, and he inspires his
friends with his own heroic spirit.
Many Of General John q. Breckin-
ridges friends have recalled Ken
tucky's hero during this canvass. He
b s displayed the same vigor, the
same grace, courtliness, pluck and
m~anliness that characterized the great
Kentuckian, and the people love him
as their leader, hero and champion
Old soldiers will recall the additional
fact that General Bate, early in the
war, took charge of General Breckin
ridges old brigade, and they see in
General Bate the bright, blue eyes,
and most of all the splendid chivalry
which characterized their reyered
chief. g. Il. NJ.
