STOCK PEAS.

Another mistake is made when we
fail to gather suficiency of stock
peas at least for our own seed. The
pea crop is of too much Importance to
be neglected. This spring thousands
of acres will be neglected on account
of scarcity and high price of seed.
The truth is, there are but few peas
to be had in this county, and from
the high prices at Nashville, and
other places, we fear they have been
too much neglected. Their value as
stock feed and as a fertilizer, when
turned under green is known and ac-
knowledged, but the mistake is, we
don't gather sufficiency for seed.
Every farmer should see to it that he
saves at least all he wants to SOW or
plant the next season. 1t is very lit
tie trouble to do this. Many Of the
peas ripen before the vine and foliage
are ready to turn under which could
be gathered for seed or, few acres
may be planted in corn or alone for
seed with but comparatively little
trouble. Let us see to it in future
that we gather at least enough peas
for our seed and not depend on Others
for seed for everything we plant.

decrease of 4O5, 472 acres as compared
with the preceding year. The season
is backward as compared with the
average years, and the damage to
wheat by winter killing cannot be
definitely determined until the plant
has had some warm rains and grow
ing weather. In some counties the
extent of wheat that has been winter
killed can be determined with some
degree Of accuracy, and in not a few
instances one-half or more of the area
is reported winter-killed. The aver
age condition of the growing crop
April is estimated to be about SO
per cent. of an average crop.

Advice to Mothers.

Are you disturbed at night and bro
ken Of your rest by sick child suffer
ing and crying with pain of cutting
teeth? If so, send at once and get
bottle of Mrs. WNsLow's SOOTHING
SYRUP for children teething. Its value
is incalculable. 1t will relieve the poor
little sufferer Immediately. Depend on
it, mothers, there is no mistake about
it. 1t cures dysentery and diarrhea,
regulates the stomach and bowels, cures
wind collie, softens the gums, reduces
inflammation, and gives tone and energy
to the whole system. Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup for children teething is
pleasant to the taste, and it is the pre-
scription of one of the Oldest female
nurses and physicians in the United
States, and is for sale by all druggists
throughout the world. Price 25 cents

WHICH PAYS BEST?

A large field with small yield, or
a small field with large yield :?
This is a simple, yet important ques-
ton. 1t is an old\saying, and true,
that "whatever is worth doing, is
worth doing we'll" The most sue
cessful farmers, in fact, the most sue
cessful business men in any business,
are those who do not attempt to
cover too much ground. No farmer,
by the cultivation of a poor farm,
can ever hope to make his business
pay much, if any, above expenses,
until he improves his land. Rich
farmer-rich farmer. Poor farmer
poor farmer. They necessarily go to-
gether.
No farmer can make his business a
success working poor land the more
he cultivates the poorer he gets. The
idea is to make every acre rich, and
keep it rich. Stop the washes, save
every pound of manure possible ;
keep only such stock as will pay best,
and keep no more than can be well
fed and well cared for. Let the
prime object be to improve the farm
1t is the farmers capital, and like
bank or other capital, gives its divi'
dends in proportion to its increased
value.

GERMAN MILLET.

German Millet, although inferior
to Timothy, Red Top, Clover, and
other grasses for hay, is sown more
or less every spring. Like peas, if
we expect to continue to grow millet
for hay, we should not fail to grow
our own seed. We have no excuse
for sending away for seed. No State
in the Union produces finer millet
seed than Tennessee, and there is no
good reason why we should not grow
it all at home and to spare. Forseed
it may be sown in drills and cult
waited, or broadcast at the rate of one
quarter of of bushel of seed per acre
as evenly sown as possible. When
sown in drills or broadcast, on good,
rich, well prepared land, one quarter
of a bushel to the acre, the heads will
be very large and produce much more
and finer seed than when sown thick
err. We remember once to have sown
a bushel of seed on four acres of me-
dunn land, and when the heads were
about matured we cut with cradle,
and after curing and bound in bun
dies as oats, and shocked in the field.
After standing in the field for fifteen
days without any rain, it was hauled
to the thresher and threshed 200
bushels seed) almost as easily as oats.
The straw was about the length of Or
binary oats, and nearly as essily
threshed. At 81. 90 per bushel, there
is perhaps few crops that will pay
better than a few acres for millet seed.
1t is not necessary to let the stalk get
ripe before cutting for seed. The
seed natures before the straw, and
may be cut while the latter with the
blades are still green. After thresh-
ing the straw makes fair quaily OF
hay. Running through the thresheI
does not injure, but rather improves
it as hay, as it knocks out the dust
and mashes the stalk. While we
prefer other varieties of hay, and sell
dom grow millet, if we continue tC
grow it, we should make our SEED
and depend on sending to the West
for it as we have done this spring.

Moreover, there is not plant, or
any part of plant, thatdoes not con-
tain more or less of lime; this is not
surprising, when it is considered that
as animals feed upon plants, and the
bones of animals contain about so
per cent, in round numbers, of lime,
vegetables must necessarily contain
lime; and if the soil is deficient in it,
of course the plants do not thrive,
and cannot, however much of the
other needed elements of plant food
the soil may contain. For if zone is
deficient plants cannot make use of
the others. The lime also must be
soluble, and it is only soluble practi-
cally in a caustic or fresh state, and is
practically insoluble in its mild or
carbonized state. For instance, if a
small quantity Of fresh lime be put
into barrel of soft rain water, the
lime is dissolved, and the water be-
comes hard but if large piece of
marble, which is carbonate of lime,
be put into the water, the lime is not
dissolved, and the water remains soft
and pure.
Second, lime is not only a plant
food of itself, but it has strong de-
composing action upon fresh organic
matter in the soil, and quickly re-
duces it to condition in which it is
available as food for plants; more
over it aids greatly in what we call
notification of organic matter; that
is, the development of nitric acid
from heterogeneous organic matter,
and the formation of nitrates in the
soil, which can be taken up plants.
This is the way in which it is sup
posed to act as a stimulant; but
wrongly so. 1t is rather an exhaust
i've agent in the soil, because it rapid
ly makes soluble and available or
ganic, matter, which would other
wise remain longer in the soil, and
only become available slowly. Lime
is therefore most valuable addition
to a richly MANFRED soil, or to land
that is rich in vegetable matter, as
newly reclaimed and drainedswamps.
But caution must be used to feed such
q soil well, as-to use q familiar
simile-its powers of digestion are
very strong indeed, and it calls fol
more food in proportion.

The Uses Of Lime.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
The inquiry of M. P. r., of Tonnes
see, affords an instance of how a good
thing may be wholly spoiled in the
using. He writes that "some of his
brother farmers tried lime, with no
advantage; they scattered it and
turned ii m1der." / underline the last
three words to call especial attention
to the mistake. Lime should never
be plowed under, but kept as near
the surface as possible. Your direc-
tons are precisely right, viz, "spread
it evenly in a finely pulverized state
and diffuse it well into the soil by
narrowing. That is the popular prac-
tice, and it is exceedingly rare that
when lime is thus used it is not found
to be of great service to the crops, es-
pecially clover and grass. And as
clover and grass are-so to speak
the underpinning of successful rota-
ton, this is exceedingly important.
But farmers are much aided by rea-
sons why things are thus or thus, and
minute directions how to secure GER
tain conditions. Now, 1 would like
to give M. p. r. not only my expert
ence for several years, but reasons
why lime is useful, and directions
how to procure the requisite finely
pulverized condition, and its legiti-
mate diffusion in the soil.
First, there is a good deal of misap-
prehension regarding the effect of
lime as a fertilizer. 1t has long been,
and now is-by many persons =
thought to be stimulant to the soil,
and, therefore, a dangerous substance
to use. This is by no means true.
1t is partly true, and as it contains a
little truth, it is, like little knowl-
edge, dangerous thing. Lime is a
direct and indispensable plant food.
This is evidently proved by the fol-
lowing figures, showing the percent

Third, lime also exerts chemical
action upon the mineral particles of
the soil, dissolving their silicious sur
faces, which hold potash and phos-
phoric acid, and freeing these invalu-
able substances SO that they can be
appropriated by the roots of the crop.
This is not an exhaustive process, be-
cause it is exerted upon an inexhaus-
tible store of material, and as long
as any soil remains, this process can
go on without danger of exhaustion.
Lime is, therefore, useful upon any
soil in which it does not already exist
in a soluble condition. 1t is more
useful perhaps upon stiff clay soils,
because it loosens and opens them,
and makes them more porous and
gives admission to the air, than upon
sandy soils. 1t is more useful upon
the feldspathic and micaceous clay
soils, or sandy loans, because their
minerals contain from 10 to IS per
cent of potash, insoluhle without the
help Of Iime. 1t should also, there
fore, be used in the finest possible
state of division, which is secured by
air Stacking, and be most intimately
diffused in the soil, that its action
may be as effective as possible.
Lime is commonly used, where it
is regular part Of the farm manures,
as the fifth course of the usual rota-
ton, when the out-stubble isplowed
down for wheat, the land being ma
nured at the same time; and when
the usual seeding to clover and grass
is done. Thus every five years the
land receives lime, the quantity be-
ing 40 bushels of the freshly burned
lime from the kiln. This lime is
drawn upon the field afterit is plowed
and the manure has been plowed in,
with lap burrows, and not flat ones,
so that the manure is not buried, but
very evenly mixed with the soil.
The lime is dropped from the wagon
in small heaps, of, say one bushel, 33
feet apart both ways. This makes
precisely 40 bushels to the acre. In a
few days, if the weather is dry, the
lime falls into an impalpable powder,
gaining for every bushel $50 pounds)
q pounds Of water by absorption
from the air, or from shower ofrain,
and increasing in bulk three times.
1t is then spread evenly, being scat
tered easily l6 feet each way from the
heaps, by means of a long-handled,
round-pointed shovel, and thus covers
the whole ground like light white
dust. The ground is then sown (if
broadcast and narrowed, and the
lime completely mingled with the
soil and disappears to begin immedi-
ately its silent but useful work. If
the seed is drilled, the land is har-
rowed first. This method is best for
several reasons, but chiefly because
the lime is soon dissolved, one heavy
rain being sufficient to dissolve the
whole of it, and then, as tits absorbed
by the soil and by the manure, its eff
feet isimmediately, exerted, and there
is no waste or loss. Had it been
plowed in, the first rain would dis
solve it, and very quickly carry il
into the subsoil, where it could dc
nothing at all, and would be wholly
lost. Perhaps M. P. r. can now un-
derStand why his brother farmers
found the lime of no advantage.

HOTEL BOILER ExPLoDEs.
The Engineer and Several Others Lose
Their Lives.

The Engineer ana SeVefa1 OtAefS Lose
Their Lives.
GALVESTON, Tex, May AT half-past
O'Clock one of the boilers in the engine room
of the fremont House in this city exploded
with terrific force, totally demolis hing the
engine room, which was a one-story brick
structure adjoining and in the rear of the
hotel Immediately to the south of the en-
CINE room was two-story frame building in
which the help of the hotel were domiciled.
A section of the exploding boiler twenty
feet long and weighing several thousand
pounds was forced entirely through this
building, thence passing across TWEEN
ty-fourth street and finally settling upon
and crushing small frame building
situated in an alley midwayof the next block.
The scene was terrible one, the mangled
remains of many persons strewing the path
way of the dreadful missile. A crowd quick
ly collected and the work of rescue began.
Upon searching among the ruins of the Ire
mont House the dead bodies of Thomas
Cross, the engineer, and Lawrence Carr, the
fireman, were found. Anderson Jones,
colored waiter, was found dead in the frame
building where he was sleeping. Clara Mil
Ter, the unfortunate woman living in the
frame shanty in the alley, was crushed by
the fall of the detached part of the boiler
and died while being conveyed to the hospi-
tai "Yank" Sullivan, newsboy who
boarded with her, was SO seriously
injured that he will probably
die This completes the list
of killed so far as known, although further
searching among the rivers may result in the
finding of several servants who are now mis-
sing. M. Sullivan, Frank Atwell, Miss
Burns, all servants, Were seriously bruised
and scalded. Joseph and Jose Aquill, pastry
cooks, and R. Walton, an employe, were Sc
vereIy bruised. The cause of the explosion
is not yet clearly established.
