The Funding Board.

Nashville World.
About $4,000 of the bonds of the
State were received yesterday to be
converted into the sos settlement.
The process of funding is tedious and
laborious one, and owing to the intri-
cacy and irregularitY of the manner in
which bonds have been kept it requires
IN addition wonderful supply of pa
tience as well as great care to do the
work properly.
Comptroller Pickard has had a set Of
books made which are in fact a dupli-
cate of the bonds to be issued, and as
each coupon is paid off and clipped from
the bond it will be pasted upon its cor
responding number in the book, and
when all the coupons are clipped, and
the bond itself paid off and cancelled,
they will all have taken their places
upon the face of the duplicate. BY
this process the comptroller can in a
moment, at any time, ascertain the
number of coupons outstanding upon
any bond. i'

Liquor in Drug Stores,

Nashville American.
Comptroller Pickard has had con-
sultation with Attorney General Lea
in reference to the sale of whisky by
druggists on prescription. Judge Lea
holds that druggists may sell liquor on
the prescription Of regular practicing
physician, but that they are liable for
the same tax as other tipplers. He
further holds, however, that the drug
gist who has paid his tipping license
as prescribed by law may sell liquors
on the prescription of regular practic-
ing physicians regardless of the four
mile law.

Bone Manure Tor Pastures.

New England Farmer.
An English paper, in commenting
upon this subject, remarks that the
Cheshire dairy farmer, By the free use
of bone manure laid on the grass lands,
makes his farm, which at one time, be-
fore the application of bone manure,
fed only twenty head of cows, now feed
forty. In Cheshire two.thirds or more
generally three-fourths, of dairy farm
are kept in perfect pasture, the remain
der in tillage. It's dairy farmers are
commonly bound to lay the whole of
their manure not on the arabic, but on
the grass land, purchasing what may
be necessary for the arabic. The
chief Improvement besides drainage
consists in the application of bone ma
nure. In the milk of each COW, in its
urine, in its manure, in the bones Of
each calf reared and sold off, a farm
parts with as much earthly phosphates
of lime as is contained in half a hun
bred weight of bone dust. Hence the
advantage ofreturniug this mineral ma
nure by boning grass lands.

HOW TO APPLY COMMERCIAL
FERTILIZERS FOR WHEAT.

A valued correspondent of White
county writes us to know how to apply
commercial fertilizers with wheat. The
best way is to use the fertilizer attach
ment and drill in with the wheat the
exact amount desired. If not drilled,
the next best way is to sow as evenly
as possible broadcast the amount de-
sired per acre after the ground has been
we'll plowed, and narrowed in with the
wheat or small grain sown.
All who used the fertilizer with the
drill last season in this county were
well satisfied with the results. There
is no crop, perhaps, which de-
riveS greater benefit from commercial
fertilizers, il good, than wheat. 1t
seems to stimulate and encourage the
wheat during the winter, and gives it a
good start in the spring. Some farmers
have drills without fertilizer attach.
ments. They can drill their wheat in
after the fertilizers have been evenly
sown and narrowed in well. Wheat
land should be well pulverized with OF
without fertilizer to insure good crops.

Departure of the Martins.

The glossy plumaged, swift flying
martins took their departure from local
haunts on Saturday night, and not one
of those twittering residents of the bird
houses is now to be found within our
borders. Last year they departed
three days later Whether coming or
going they maintain a marked regu-
larity, seldom varying the date of their
departure or arrival more than week.
Those who provide homes for these
birds find much pleasure in studying
their habits. One gentleman who has
carefully watched them for years as
sures us that bird inspectors arrive some
ten days in advance of the flock, about
the 10th of April in each year, and
after examining his premises, in a day
depart, always flying in northeasterly
direction. The birds next appear en-
mass and Immediately take up their
quarters. Before the birds will accept
a house, he says, ratings have to be
built to secure the young against the
danger of falling out. They will not
occupy house that endanger the
lives of their young, and in this show
better judgement than many human
beings. In wild state they build in
trees like the bluebird. Norwich
