Carry Fertilizers Home.

Nearly every farmer goes to the
nearest village to trade, visit the
mechanic, or obtain his letters or
papers, at least once a week
He often takes a load to market,
but he rarely brings one home. He
can, with very little trouble, haul a
load of material that may be OBJ
tanned for nothing, and which will
be of great benefit to his land.
Most people make no use Of the
ashes produced in their stoves, or of
the bones taken from the meat they
consume. Scarcely any brewer has
any use for the hops that have been
boiled in his watts, and the black
smith hardly ever saves the clip
pings he takes from the feet of
horses. All these materials make
excellent manure. A barrel of
shavings, cut from the hoofs of
horses, contain more ammonia than
is contained in a load Of stable ma
nure. Applied to land without
preparation, they might give no i'm
mediate results, but they would be
come decomposed in time, and crops
of all kinds would derive benefit
from them. They may be so treat
ed that they may produce immedi-
ate results. By covering them with
fresh horse manure, they will de
compose very rapidly. They may
also be leached in barrel, and the
water that covered them drawn off
and applied to the plants. Water,
in which pieces of horns and hoofs
have been soaked, is an excellent
manure for plants that require fore
ing. 1t stimulates the growth of to-
matoes, rose bushes and house
plants very rapidly, and emits no
offensive odors. A vast amount of
fertilizing material is wasted in
towns that farmers could obtain the
benefit of with very little trouble.

We recommend to every farmer
ploughing up piece of rich OF
fertilized ground for a grass patch,
either to grow up in native grass OF
to be sown with some approved va
riety.
The cultivation of grasses for hay
is an item of farm work in which we
are behind the times.
An acre of rich ground will pro-
duce 5000 pounds of hay. Planted
in corn the same ground would not
produce more than 1,200 pounds, or
the produce would be somewhat in
in this ratio.

his atheism was once ridiculing the

confirmation of his theory. "Well, -

When the comb Of a barnyard
fowl is large and bright showing it
to be full of blood, and shaking
with every activity of the bird, she
is in a healthy, laying condition.
With this condition of the comb
YOU will discover the utmost activi-
ty in your fowls, starting at every
sound oT motion; the movement is
not like a nervous jump, but with
an elastic spring, showing a condi-
ton of vigorous health. On the
contrary. if the edges of the comb
and wattles are a purplish red and
the movements sluggish, there is
disease and danger.

Fishermen have had considerable
trouble the past week with suckers
that persist in hanging themselves
on their hooks even when they are
not baited. Some of them took the
precaution to tie four hooks to-
gether and turn the points in differ
ent directions so as to ward off the
fish, and then place them in shallow
places to get them used to the water,
and still the suckers hunted them
up. Some even procured SENS and
tried to keep the suckers away from
the hooks, but the silly fish would
entangle themselves in the meshes,
There ought to be law against al
lowing suckers to modest tackle in
this way. But fish laws are not
needed.

The road betwixt Pulaski and
Vale Mills is terrible. So are the
other Giles county roads. We
learned Saturday that the people
out that way were talking of build
ing a pike. Giles county people
can talk more pike and build less
than any people under the sun. We
wish we could make some of them
mad enough to begin. There was
a great flourish of trumpets year
before last and Il world of Dragging,
but the trumpets footed in vain and
brag wouldn't haul gravel. The CITI-
ZEN always knew a newspaper
couldn't build roads, but it can maui
the people until they begin to maui
rock. No one will lead; no one will
follow; no one will suggest; no one
will assist. Schemes that promise
well are devised, flourish for a day
and die to give place for others to
do likewise. 1t would require only
a little exertion for the people on
Bradshaw or Weakley to get up
companies that would build pixies.
When crops are laid by there will
be many men wanting work. This
summer ought not to pass without
two or three pixies being built.

1t seems that legislators are now
elected only to investigate each 9th
er. Men have become so corrupt
you can always stir up some mean
ness where a few of them are gath
cred together. The Tennessee leg
islature has wasted many days and
spent several thousand dollars inves
tigating a miserable -taker.
AS a public Waterman, we protest
against the waste of the peoples
money and their servants time'in
trying to make characters for men
who had none at home. The law
ought to be invoked in a regular
way and the criminal courts left to
do the dirty work. If a see dy
Scion is accused of wearing dirty
shirt collar he will jump up indig-
nantly and demand an investiga-
ton, and the body gravely sets
about inaugurating a farcical trial
that always results in whitewashing.
This has grown to be nuisance, a
criminal waste of time and money,
a prostitution of power, a misera
bic, mendaciOus venting Of malice
at public expense. 1t is shameful
that we have to submit to the domi-
nation of mean men, pay them to be
dishonest, and then furnish them q
whitewashed certificate Of charac-
ter with the great seal of the state
attached. The legislature has nc
right to do it, but they will. If you
find out another member has been
doing wrong, go to the grand jury
room. If he accuses you, mash his
mouth. The people are sick OF
paying for it.

Bricks That are Magnetic.

1t was lately observed by Herr KEEP
ncr, at Salzburg, in the Tyrol, that some
old bricks had an attractive or repellant
force on Il compass. From each Of eight
varieties of clay in the neighborhood two
bricks were nodded. and one Of the two
in each ease was baked. The unbaked
brick had no action on a magnetic
needle, but seven of the eight baked
bricks proved polarly magnetic. Some
further experiments have been msde by
Hcrren Kell and Tricntl. Particles of
powder of the magnetic bricks adhered
to steel magnet. Breunerite, mica

Ano til er Mysterious Murder Cas-

a Mrs. Driscoll, aged 60 years,
was foully murdered on July 10th,
in corn field where she had been
engaged in hoeing corn, near the
village of Excelsior, RichlandCounty.
The top of her head was crushed in
by a club, the back part cut away by
some sharp instrument, and the
lower right aw bone dislocated.
The killing is shrouded in mystery,
as much 80 as the murder Of Mrs
Sisley, in Grant county some few
weeks ago. Evidence goes to show
that she had started for home, or
had left the field for some purpose.
The first place where she was attack
ed, was but a few rods from the corn
field. 1t seems that after the muir
der had been committed she was
dragged but short distance and put
in a hole three feet deep, where n
tree had blown down and tore up
ground with its roots; the body had
been covered up with decayed
chunks and sticks; this being about
two rods from the road leading
from the field. Afterwards the body
was removed n distance of fifty
yards, into deep ravine where the
water had washed out hole about
four feet deep. The trail leading
from the first place to this was dis
tinct, and looked as though the body
had been dragged by the feet. She
was covered with chunks and stones,
some being SO large that n man could
hardly lift them. Saturday morning
a club was found four feet long and
two inches in diameter, covered with
blood, the one with which the muir
der was done. There is nothing
thus far that throws light on the
mystery, buy it is reported that the
son of Mrs. Driscoll has made a
sudden departure for parts unknown,
and if this be true people will un-
hesitatingly conclude that he knows
more of the horrible affair than he
should.
