UnprOmising Condition Of Cotton,
as Appears in the Agricultural
Report for July.
IL All Depends ON the Weather
During This and the Next
Two Months.

The ally report of the Agricultural
Department at WASHINGTON is out and
was telegraphed over the country last
night. 1t reports cotton in less IA
vorable condition all over the South
than appeared a month ago. The
weather was too cold and wet 10 May
and too dry in July. Georgia has suf-
fered most, and the percentage there
has been reduced IA per cent during
the month standing at79. In South Car
olina the condition was reduced IL per
cent toS0. Middle Alabama has suffered
from drouth, while the Tennessee
valley aud South Alabama enjoyed
seasonable weather and timely show
ers. The hill lands Of Mississippi
have generally suffered from drOuth,
and rain is needed throughout the
State. Ia Louisiana, Florida and
parts of Tennessee and North Carolina
rains have not been lacking, but in
the dry districts, where fertilizers
were used, the plants are parched and
the top crop is fruiting prematuFely.
The general average is "a per cent, a
decrease Of 6 per cent during July,
and each State is set down as follows:
Virginia, 81; North Carolina, 81; South
Carolina, so; Georgia. 70; Florida, SO;
Alabama, So; Mississippi, 50; Louis.
lana, s.; Texas, SO; ArkansaW, So;
Tennessee, 80.
In Central Alabama the caterpillar
has been destructive, while all gulf
coast districts have suffered more or
less from the same cause. Fears are
expressed OF the ravages Of the third
brood Of worms, as the first have
already webbed up, and in some cases
the second. Strenuous efforts are
making to avert this calamity by using
arsenic in various forms. The boil
worm has also committed ravages in
parts of Texas and Arkansaw. The
value of the cotton crop now depends
largely on the kind OF weather it is to
hays fran August to QotobeF.
The conditiof Of corn IS a whole is
improved, and averages SO and SO Of a
perfect crop. Wheat averages 81. and
is about the same as last year, but in
better promise than any previous
August since 1877. Oats average 100;
bailey. 95, tobacco, s.; and a full po-
tato crop is assured.

repealed, the others are as they we're,
the country is safe and the people
continue to live.
A number of field laborers in the
valleys we're hired in the spring to
cultivate cotton patches at the rate Of
s. per acre, counting from planting
time until the crop was ready to lay
by. The majority who adopted this
system found it Instantaneous, as
the laborers during the wet and weedy
season of early spring found it much
easier to chop out with cotton and
weeds at the same time, and having
no Interest in the yield, they played
havoc With many . good stand CT
healthy cotton.

Seeding with Clover.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
There is no crop that removes so much in
organic matter per 1000 pounds from the soil
as clover; it is therefore good crop to pre-
cede any white straw crop even if this crop
is removed entirely from the field and Ted
out for the benefit of some other portion of
the farm. There is another direct adva tage
to be realized from clover--the ameliorating
influence exerted by the roots upon the con-
dltion of the soil. A crop of clover always
leaves the soil more loose and porous than
any other crop and more easy to cultivate
and clover sod is in fact not sod at all. If
clover is given its proper place, the fertility
of the farm will stand repeated
attacks from ignorant husbandry.
In restoring wasted fertility, the true
value of clover can be seen to the best advan-
tage when plowed under and allowed to de-
compose. This is a most superior prepare
ton for fall wheat / never had much faith
in the economy of summer following, except
when necessary to clean land The practice
of summer following a preparation for
fell wheat do not approve Of A crop is
lost for the sole purpose OF increasing by a
few bushels the crop of wheat, and I have
always thought the same end could be at
tanned by better tillage and more generous
use of fertilizers. OF course, under this view
of the case, clover cannot be used, unless q
clover sod, upon which there is good after
growth of clover, is turned under for the
benefit of the ensuing wheat crop. prac-
tice which have adopted to a limited ex-
tent in wheat culture Is as follows:
/ seed down with wheat. using mixture,
chiefly large and medium clover, with a
smaller proportion of timothy. ! usually
obtain good catch with wheat; this is top
dressed in the winter, and | generally cut a
heavy crop of clover before July 1. When
am ready to fit my wheat ground, the second
crop of clover is in blossom; this is turned
carefully, and the ground thus prepared is
sowed to wheat, which is again seeded as be-
fore. l hope that when get the land fertile
enough to be sure of a second growth of
clover, may dispense with the top-dressing
every winter, and be able to sustain its fer
tility by moderate dressing of barnyard
manure once in two or three years. The ex-
pertinent has thus far worked very satisfac-
torily, and believe that can in this manner
keep my wheat land in good condition.

Ireland as a Separate Nation.

AS an Independent nation Ireland would be
nothing but scene OF tumult and pickering

ter trade and manufactures. to stimulate a
healthy opinion In MASTERS apperfaining to
the prosperity of Ireland; and, while acting
within this sphere of home rule, to still retain
the union with the British empire, which is es-
sential TO the peace and sodity of ireland, ia an
object of craftsmanship which the unity of Irish
opinion would ia the end accomplish but the
aim OF separate nationality is a delusion of hope,
and It's accomplishment. II possible, would be

An Inexpensive Fertilizer.
