Salt ns Manure.

The Massachusetts, Agricultural So
ciety says that salt has the property of
hastenihg the maturing Of an grain
crops; that wheat on salted land will
ripen six to ten days earlier than on un-
salted land, all other conditions being
equal; that it increases the yield from
twenty-five to fifty per cent; that it
stiffens the straw and prevents rust and
smut; that it checks, if it does not en-
tirely prevent, the ravages OF the chinch
bug, and that there is no danger of a
mans pocket permitting him to put too
much salt upon his land, as two barrels
per acre will injure no grain crop. The
best time to SOW salt is in the spring,
and it ought to be the first thing done
on either fall or spring plowing, as
all after stirring of the land assists in
its equal distribution through the soil.
The best and easiest method of sowing
salt in the absence of machine for that
purpose is to SOW it from out the rear
end of wagon, the sower using both
hands while the team is moving at a
slow walk. In this way thirty to forty
acres can be sowed in one day. The
quantity used may be from $50 to 800
pounds per acre, but the greater guam
tity is the better.

Goodnight Song.
Goodnight!
Weary one, take sleeps delight;
Now the day so gently closes,
And each busy hand reposes,
Till gay morning greets the sight,
Goodnight!
Go to rest
Let the tired eyelids fall
In the street where silence lieth
Loud the hour the watchman crieth,
And the soft night-voices call,
$50 to rest"
Sleep sweetly!
Dream, sad heart, ofParadise!
Love thy holy calm hath shaken
Many bright dreams thy joy awaken,
Of, thy loved one in the skies!
Sleep sweetly.
Goodnight
Sleep till breaks the coming day,
Sleep until the newborn morning
Brings new duties with its dawning,
God will watch. Put fear away!
Goodnight.
From the German Of Korner.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
PInster on Land.

George Geddes, of Central New York,
has been very successful lin raising
clover and wheat by the simple appli-
cation of plaster. For ffty-fve years
he has raised these two crops with no
other fertilizer, heavy crop of clover
being turned under as a fertilizer for
the wheat. This particular field lies on
the Onondaga salt group OF rocks, and
from these rocks in all probability the
soil obtains some fertilizing matter.

Feeding Fowls.

The best rule, says an exchange. both
as to the quantity and time il to give
the fowls a full meal in the morning
and second shortls before going to
roost. Many persons feed their fowls
only once day, usually in the morn
ing; the consequence is that they go to
roost with empty crops, and as the
nutriment they have obtained during
the day is required to keep up the ami
NAL warmth, particularly during the
long, cold nights of winter, it cannot
be employed in the production of eggs,
and thus feeding hens once day is not
favorable to their fertility. It is neces-
sary, therefore, to feed literally twice
day at least, if any large amount Of
profit be desired from fowls. There is
one great advantage dependent upon
having fixed hours OF feeding-namely,
that the birds soon become accustomed
to them, and do not hang about the
house door all day long, as they do if
irregularly fed. They consequently
obtain a greater amount of food for
themselves, and are less troublesome
than they otherwise would be.

The committee on temperance submitted
rules to be placed in the Book of Discipline.
The report says: "Let the preachers and men,
hers observe the general rules which forbid
drunkenness or the drinking of spirituous
liquors unless in cases of necessity. In cases
of drunkenness let the discipline be admins
tered as in cases Of immortality !; let our preach
ers and members abstain from the manufac-
ture or sale of Intoxicating liquors to be used
as beverages, and if any shall engage in such
manufacture or sale, in such case let the dis
cipline be administered as in case of impru-
dent or improper conduct.
In the session Of the Conference on Mon
day, letter from Bishop Wood of the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, extending
fraternal greeting, was read; also one from the
General Conference Of the CGlored Methodist
Church recently held in Washington. A mi

lation on the subject would be unwise and un.
necessary. The question of the election OF
Bishops was considered and the Conference
agreed, by vote of 130 to 106, toelective new
Bishops, and their election was made the spe-

been urged to attend, and it is hoped that he
will find this practicable. Such reunions as
are proposed cannot fail to have good effect.
They will enable something approaching to
absolute agreement to be reached concerning
the battle which was the turning point of the
war, and surely the gathering together of the
old soldiers of the North and South, on a field
made glorious by their valor and hallowed 10y

building of railroad cars of every description

Majority for colored, 1872.

It is regretted that an opposition, whether
well founded or not, exists among few white
voters to the registration law. We cannot but
believe, however, that when the apathetic
white voters of the county fully realize the
condition of affairs, they will take a better
view Of the matter and register their names,
rather than permit the county, or may be the
State, to fall into the clutches of the Repub-
lican party, to reenact the scenes of the Scott,
the Moses and the Chamberlain administra-
tions of corruption and robbery. And yet
such will be the inevitable result if the white
voters fail to register. This is question well
worth pondering. With all that has been said
on the subject, if the white voters, through
mistaken notion Of prejudice, fail to do their
duty, the blame will rest upon themselves.
Remember, that if you fail to register you can
not vote at the next election.

THE COTTON SALE.

We were led into error in our statement of
the cotton sale here last week by quoting the
prices obtained at ''from 81 to 12 cents"
Since the appearance of our paragraph last
week, we are reliably informed that no cotton
was sold in the exchange room under 11.30,
and the statement is further made that none
was sold on that day under II. We were
careful to endeavor to obtain the facts, and
our information as to the sales at 81 cents
came through third person, who was told by
buyer that he had boughtas the figure named.
OF course, we are only glad that such favora-
BILE prices were obtained all round, and we feel
a pardonable pride in the fact that the planters
within the radius of but few miles around
Yorkville, are in so prosperous a condition al
to put $50 bales Of cotton on the market on the
same day at this season of the year. And
what is even more to boast of, not less than
700 bales could have been sold on that day had
all been offered that was promised at the in
ception of the scheme

THE PICNIC.

The railroad excursion to GastOnia, n c.,
and picnic last Friday, was a success in every
particular, and most enjoyable occasion to
every one who had the good fortune to be Of
the party. The day was pleasant and under
the skillful guidance of Mr.. T. P. Beard, the
train, laden with light and joyous hearts of
ssgallant beaux and maidens fair" made rapid
time to the point of destination, affording
delightful ride through fine section Of coun-
try dotted with fertile farms smiling in the
promise of plenteous crops. . ...
Arriving at Gastonia, the excursionists were
met by similar party from Lincolnton, the
Gastonia Cornet Band enlivening the greetings
of the representatives of the sister States with
inspiring strains Of music. After the exchange
of civilities and the forming of acquaintance,
many of which, if we may judge by the Ian
guage of eyes which ''spoke words Of love and
answered back again., may ripen into more
than passing acquaintance, the pleasure
seekers started on their rounds of enjoyment,
each passing the time according to his or her
desire. Those who enjoyed the mazes of the
dance repaired to the hall provided for the oc-
cason, where to the lively notes Of Dick Lat
ta's violin the festive dancers passed the day,
only yielding for dinner, which was served IN
picnic style, and of which there was an abun-
dance; though many availed themselves of the
opportunity to partake of an excellent dinner
spread upon the bounteous tablesO Mr.. Falls
hotel. Until late in the afternoon the day was
pleasantly spent, and will long be remembered
as one of the most enjoyable picnics ever yet
given on the railroad. The committee of ar
rangements, consisting of Messrs. C. G. Par
ish, L. Geo. Grist, T. H. Glenn, H. H. Beard,
and VIM. M. Allison, were indefatigable in
ministering to the pleasures and comforts of
all, and to their promptness and efficiency is
due the success of the day and the enjoyment
Of the occasion.
The attaches of the ENQUIRER who accom-
panied the excursionists, cannot let the oppor-
tunity pass without making acknowledgment
to Mr.. G. W. Chalk, of the Gazette, for numer-
Gus courteses extended during their pleasant
visit.
