Fruits.

This is the best month in the year
for planting all kinds of fruit. Have
your land well worked and select the
best varieties Of the sorts you desire.
Strawberry paintings for new beds
should be set this month, by all means,
if possible. March is also the best
month for raspberry and blackberry
paintings. Trim out the canes and cut
back-bearing wood of raspberries and
blackberries, if not attended to in the
fall. Grape vines should be looked
after, if not already pruned. This is
the month to plant our grape cuttings.
March is one Of the busiest months Of
the year for the horticulturists. If he
gets behind this month, he will have a
hard struggle even if he ever catches
up during the season.

RID McMINNVILLE, TENNESSEE. sATURDAYMAR %, 49,
Sowing Seeds.

An exchange says on this important
topic; One of the most wastefll prac.
tees in farming, and one that seems to
be entirely overlooked by the great
majority of farmers, is that of inequal-
ity in the covering of seeds. Drilling
obviates to a great extent; it does so
very completely when the land is pro-
perly prepared. The want of thor
ough preparation of the surface is a
principal source Of the evil, whether
the seeds are broadcasted or drilled.
If the operations of the market gar
dener are observed, it will be seen that
his preparations for seeding are most
systematic and exact. For the larger
seeds, drills of uniform depth are pro-
vlded, and in order that proper uni
formity may be maintained the surface
of the soil is brought to a fine degree
Of pulverization, so as to avoid all in.
CAPABILITIES. The depth of the drills
correspond with the size Of the seeds,
and the result of this adaptation is a
uniform condition of termination and
a series Of equally vigorous plants.
With seeds of the finest grades, q
smooth surface is prepared, the seeds
scattered evenly over it, and all the
covering given is that afforded by pass.
ing a roller over the ground, crumb,
ling such small Jumps as may exist,
and, the most important point, pressing
the seeds firmly in the soil. With
seeds thus committed to tbs ground
there is an equal development of plant;
fewer seeds will be needed, because
every seed will vegetate and produce
a healthy plant, vigorous from thu
start. But to secure the best results
seeds should be covered with such {
depth of soil as is found most suitable
to their size and kind; the nature ant
character of the soil will also be taker
into consideration. On light sandy
soils deeper covering may be allowed
than would be proper in strong clay
soil, and in all cases a heavier covering
may be allowed in a dry climate thai
would be proper in wet one. Thu
best crops can only be secured when
happy combination of all the element
of success is provided, and one of tn
most important is that of putting tn
seed properly in the soil.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Some Interesting SpeculatiOns
About the Delegates and the
Officers.
As the time for The meeting OF tho Demo.
cratic Convention at willard Hall draws near,
the interest In its organization increases.
The convention Will be composed OF sixty-siX
delegates.
There are two leading candidates for the
position OF permanent president, VIZ, DR.. W.
o. Baldwin, OF the Sixth District and william
p. Bell, OF the Sixteenth District.
Mr.. Bell or some friend OF his, has flooded
the District with an anonymous circular, call
ing attention to his parliamentary abilities
especially, and stating that he has occupied
high positions In tho Democratic party with
honor and imparllality.
Dr. Baldwln's friends have not yet reached
this pitch, but there are several days inter.
vening before the convention meets. The
Doctor to-day seems to DO ahead.
For the position OF secretary tho name OF
MIR. Frank Morgan, OF the Twenty-second Dis
trict, 10 about the only one mentioned. Mr..
Watson Boyle says the mention Of his name In
that connection Is unauthorized, and that no
is not q candidate for secretary,
As regards the delegates, count OF noses
last night showed that Mr.. William Dickson is
practically the unanimous choice Of tho dele
gates for one delegate to Chicago, having Ger.
tain 90 votes out OF 60, with probability OF
receiving every vote In convention,
AS to the other delegates, Mr.. Thomas j. Lut-
trell, u. d. Wright and II. o. Hewitt stand In
about the order named. Neither has sufficient
strength to elect. Mr.. wright's preference for
President Is obscured by his friends, ana that
seems TO be operating against him.
Mr.. Dickson is understood to favor Tllden,
while MIR. Luttrell, though expressing no pref
erenCe, Is not unfriendly to him.
1t is not known how Mr.. Hewitt
stands. Since tho primaries were held
Mr.. Luttrell has developed unexpected
strength and his friends claim that ne Is now
leading all the others.
But politics arc uncertain, ana Tuesday
night Will tell tho tale.
