through the heads of manufacturers that
there is no use of paving freight on
pound and three-qarters of wool and
dirt, when they only want the three
quarters OF pound OF wool that it con-
tains. The day is not TAR distant when
sheep will be shorn unwashed, and wool
scsured before tleaves the state in which
it was sheared. Wool growers will then
be able to sell their wool on its merits.-
Michigan Farmer.
DIR. STEWART says that t'the power in
the corn kernel toregenerate, after dry
ing, enables us to plant it shallower than
is sometimes required for the securing of
permanent moisture to the seed in the
spring. While some corn seed have the
power to push upthrough eight inches Of
heavy clay soil, yet our results obtained
last season by experiment showed u
| quicker vegetation and, as we imagined,
a better stand from seed planted one
fourth inch than deeper. Hence, it seems
quite reasonable to infer that the com
| pacting of a fine soil about the seed is of
more Importance than merely the depth
of planting"

The Ironton, Ohio, Register informs US
that the Alice Furnace of that place is ne
gotiating for large amount, 20. 900 tons,of
Virginia hematite ores from the Valley OF
Virginia. The ores come from the Roher
Iron Company's extensive mines near Roam
oke, Va. 1t will be transported by way of
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad to Waynes-
boro, and thence by wayof the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway to Ashland, KY, and the
Sciota Valley road to Ironton. The ore is
stated to be clean rich clay hematite and
will make an excellent open foundry iron
alone. or mixed with the Ohio ores. The
ore of the Roanoke section is of the same
character of that found further South, in
Augusta county and kockbridge, on the
line CT the Shenandoah Valley Railroad,
where manganiferous ore and manganese
are found in close proximity. The intro
duction of the Valley ores to the markets of
the West is good advertisement for this
section. The immense quantities which ex.
list, their accessibility and the favorable
facilities for their transportation must soon
give them importance in iron centres. We
should much prefer to see them worked up
where they are mined, however. and until
the furnaces are established for that pur-
pose Virginia will not receive the benefit
from item she should. The time is not dis
tant when this W ill be done. for capital will
seek the localities where it can be used to

A sPAT BETWEEN COUNSEL.

Before the Commonwealth witnesses were
sworn, the counsel for the defense insisted
upon their separation and the exclusion of all
save the one testifying, from the court room
Tie prosecuting attorney announced that he
would insist, also, upon the witnesses for the
defense being excluded from the court room
and for that reason desired the opposing
counsel to name their witnesses. Mr. White
stated that unless a certain line of examina
ton was pursued, the defense did not propose
to introduce testimony-that their witnesses
were not in the court room and not in town.
Mr.. Echols replied that 1t had happened in
former cases, that the Comm onwealth's wit
nesses had been separated and that witnesses
for the defense, who were not known as such
had been in the court room. Mr.. White took
exception to Mr.. ELS remarks, stating that
they conveyed the intimation that the wit.
nesses had been present with the knowledge
of the counsel. Mr.. Echols responded that NO
such thought had been suggested to him, but
that it was possible for the witnesses to be
present without the knowledge of the counsel
and that was wha the wanted to avoid. The
explanation being entirely satisfactory, the
case was proceeded with.
