Groundlcss Rum ors.

"Evcry now and tlen," said q prom
inent officer who is upon the most
friendly relations at the White House,
"therc is publised a statement that the
President is dissatisfied with one of
his Cabinent Ministers. Nearly every
member of his official household has
had disagreement with Mr.. Clcve-
land, if newspaper reports are 10 be
credited.
Mcssrs. Bayard, Garland and Villas
have been particularly mentioned as
coming under the ban oftiIe Presidents
displeasurc. And now it is again re-
ported trat he is dissatisfied with the
Secretary Of State. l happen to know
that these rumors are wholly ground
less. do not believe President ever
got along with his Cabinet more har-
moniously than Mr.. Cleveland, and he
has not, not ever has had, any idea of
making change in the head Of any one
of the departments. The relations be-
tween the President and his advisers
are of the most cordial character, and
nothing that can see is likely to dis
turb them"

The Hog for the South.

In q late number you ask to hear
from your readers who have tried the
jersey Reds. They were introduced
here or wears ago from New Jer-
Sey, the writer taking several. They
were not found adapted to the circum-
stances and needs Of the Southern
farmer and were promptly discarded.
They are doubtless grand hog at
their home in the North, $50 are the
Chester whites, which are utterly
worthless here), but in the Gulf States
they will not prove st all satisfactory.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
and the Southern Lice-&ock Journal
are beth perfectly correct when they
teach and continue to teach that the
Southern farmer must take his choice
of breeds from the blacks-Esse1,
Berkshire and Poland China. The
Essex is the prettiest hog Of them all
"a model of gentleness and quietness,
always fat-no matter how kept-and
his progeny Of the Common sow is
unequalled by any other male. But
the breed is rather small and l always
had trouble in gettine the young pigs
started-in fact, far too many OF them
are born dead, Il anl speaking Of the
pure bred). For this reason I gave
them up, though with great reluctance.
The Berkshire is well known. His
blood courses in the veins of thousands
Of good hogs all over the land. Any
where can be heard "part Berkshire"
as ample proof that a hog is o good
one. But with his many good points
not forgetting that most excellent
meat-he is too much inclined to be
mischievous and even viscious and is
not to be tolerated where ranges and
fences are not irstclass, and when they
can not be kept separate from the
stock. The Poland Chinas are not so
generally known. Somewhat coarser
than the blacks, they have all their
good points, but are free from the OBJ
jections that lie against those breeds.
They are large, yet quiet as the Essex
almost any sort will control them;
the sows are most excellent mothers
(Mr. Persons statement to the contra
ry Notwithstanding. The pigs starts
off promptly, grow well and fatten
we'll at any age. AS Mr.. P. says, they
are ga good corn-crib hog snd lard
producer" and that is high commen-
datien; for twist aud whip around the
matter as we may, we have not solved
the problem Of a suitable substitute
for corn afa pork producer, and the
hog that pays-pays always-and pays
heavily for the corn he consumes is
lhe hog for the South.
will add in conclusion Mr.. Editor
tina: have spent agreat deal of money
and time and patience in the endeavor
to satisfy myself as to which was the
best hog for this section-have tried
all the breeds thought worth while to
try-the big whites and the little
whites, the Jerseys and all the blacks.
And the above statements are based
on my individual experience. Vaniz

A sWINDLING sCHEa1E.
Shyster Lawyers Planning to Fleece Ex''
Confederate Soldiers.

Confederate Soldiers.
A dispatch from Washington to the
indianapolis Journol says:
efforts have already beea begun by
the sharpers here to '.work" the cred
ulous and unsophisticatcd cx-Confed-
crate soldiers. a firm of lawyers is
sending ont circulars to the Ignorant
Confederate soldiers in the South,
soliciting their clientage in procuring
them bounty or damages from the
United States Government.
"The circulars contain Il preface in
which it is asked if the party receiving
one of them was drafted, conscriptcd
or otherwise "presscd" into the Con-
fcderate service If so, he is asked to
read what follows. Then it is stated
that the Constitution Of the United
States pledges protection to all its
citizens, and if any of them were
forced t. do service in war they are
entitled to damages. An appropria-
ton is expected from Congress, it is
set forth, to pay these damages. Tie
Enelis law is quoted TO substantiate
this allegation. Each persons ad-
dressed is requested to remit s. to the
attorneys for the purpose Of dcfrayins
expenses in procuring the approprla'
ton. It is estimated that st least l50,.
900 men were forced into the Confed'
crate service, and it is intended that
every one of them, their heirs or lega.
representatives, shall have an oppor'
tunitv to invest S5 in this scheme"

Cutting and Curing Corn Fodder.

The enthusiastic advocates of ensi-
lasc, have:ascmpished one good thing
they have shown the value Of Indian
corn as a fodder crop. Those Of US
who have no silos, must continue to
use the old method of drying and pre-
serving the fodder. The silo adds
nothing to the value of the fodder. In
other words, we may get out of the
silo all the food that goes in, but no
more. And so with the dried corn
fodder. We NAV so cure and dry the
corn so as to retain all the nutriment
there is in it.
On the other hand, we canloose nut
riment in the silo, from excessive fer
menta,;on and otherwise; and VIC can
very easily lose equally as much, from
exposure of the drying or dried fodder
to rain, OF from mold in the bundles,
shocks or in stacks.
In fact, have never yet been able
to stack corn fodder, or to keep it in
bulk in the lay for any length of
time, without considerable injury and
loss.
In my experience, the most econe-
mical way of raising and curing corn
fodder is, First, to sow early on good
land, in rows wide enough apart to
admit the use of the horseshoe or cul
tivator. Second, to keep the land
well cultivated, as long as you get
through the rows with q horse. Third,
common field corn will make good
toduer a large variety of Southern
corns will give, possibly, q large pro-
duct per acre, but the smaller and
earlier varieties of flint corn will give

The Cincinnati Election Cases.

The Circuit Court at Cincinnati on
Wednesday began tine delivery of
opinions in the mandanus case brought
by the Republican candidates for Sem
ators from Hamilton county, to.compel
the can1assing board to issue to them
certificates of election. Judge Cox
delivered the opinion of the majority
of the court, going at great length into
all details Of the questions presented
by the different persons which we're
designated by the counsel as irregular.
The result is that the courts grants the
PRAYER, and directs the clerk to issue
certificates OF election to four Rcpub-
lican candidates. The Court announc-
ed the result Of the vote as it should be
after the corrections made by applica-
ton Of the principles, followed by the
majority of the court. This gives to
the Republican candidates FROM 33, ,472
lowest, 10 1874 the highest, and to
Democratic candidates from SO, l4O
lowest, to 35,4l7 highest.

HERE'S ANOTHER.

I am merchant of Atlanta; and am
near so years of age. My kidneys have
been inactive and irregular for many years,
attended with eXcruciating pain in the
small of the back At times became too
nervous to attend to business. My case
had all the attention that money could
secure, but only to result III complete
failure.
b. B. B. was recommended, and to say
that irs action Oil me was magical would
be a mild term. One bottle made me feel
like a new man-just like l was young
again. In all INV life never used so pow
erfu and potent a remedy. For the blood
and the kidneys it is the best ever saw,
and one bottle will force any one to praise

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
The Old Fields of the South.

When q Northern farmer passes
through the Southern States, he is sur
prised. and pained-if of sensitive
nature--to see so many seemingly bar
rem fields; bare, excepting when COW
cred with the prevailing brown sedge
Of the various, exceedingly poor,
creeping plants called Japan clover,
which include several kinds of Lespe-
deza. These old fields are Scared
with guliies; or washes, caused by tho
heavy rains, which loosen the fine red
clay and carry it down the slopes.
Naturally, a stranger thinks these bar
rem fields to be worn out and worth
less. This is & gIeat mistake. They
are turned out to rest, while piece of
new ground is cleared and cultivated,
| and after time takes its turn of rest,
and the old field is plowed up and
| cropped again. This is the Southern
substitute for manure, and is really q
method-an exceedingly poor one, it is
true-of following. These fields have
never been plowcd, to use this word
in its true sense. They have been
scratched over, but the soil has never
been turned, and when Northern
| farmer, or an awakened Southern
planter, tears up this soil with good
turning plow, and seeds it down to
grass and clover, the yield is quite
equal to that of a good field on a
Northern farm. The writer has q
field of thirty acres Of clover and Tim
othv on land of this character, broken
up last summer (1SS4), in August,
| plowed twice, narrowed up three
timns, and sown with the clover and
! grass alone. This has been moved
twice for hay, yielding, in all, three
tons per acre. and the aftermath is
now (Norember) knee-hige, and would
make the finest pasture, were 1t not
saved for turning under III the spring.
Another old field, seeded with Tim
othy and clover with oats, has per-
! tect stand; not seed seems to have
failed to grow, and is better than the
writer Las ever grown at the North in
Thirty years experience. This seems
| to be the most profitable way to treat
! old fields in the South, and if South
ern farmers would adopt this plan,
! and feed stock on the grass in the
winter, the greatest on the fsir face of
the South would be covered with
beauty and turned to profit. Among
! the characteristic plants of the old
! fields, iu many localities, are Seeding
pines, which are so gcnerallg found in
I them, as to give the tree the name Of
fold Field Pine, also call Loblolly
Pine

YOUR KIDNEYS.
They Need Your Immediate At
tentiOn.
HERE'S A CASE.

For six long, dreary years ! have been a
sufferer from a complaint of my kidneys,
which failed to be cured by physicians or
advertised remedies.
I began to feel l could never secure re-
lief, as I had spent two hundred and fifty
dollars without success.
The disease was so eXcrucating that 1t
often prevented NE from performing my
daily duty. l was advised to try the ettl-
cacy of B. B. B., and one single bottle,
costing 81, gave me more relief than all
the combined treatment I had ever re-
ceived.
Its action on the kidneys is simply Won
derfu, and any one VINO needs areal,
speedy and harmless kidney medicine
should not hesitate to give B. 3. 3. trial.
One bottle will convince any one.

Tho Old. Old Story:

Why do We hear so much about dys-
pepsia? Simply because so many pco'
pie it. Why are so many people talk
ing about their cure rom this dreadful
disease? Simply because they have
been taking Browns Iron BitterS.
Thus it is with Mrs. Taylor: of Lynch
burg, Snmter county, S. c., who says,
"I have nsed Browns Iron Bitters for
dvspepsia with most favorable results.
I believe this medicine is all that is
represented" Dyspeptics and suffer

Robbed While he Held Up His Hands.

On Saturday evening, in dark and
lonely spot in the road near Mil!crs-
burg, Ohio, two masked men appear
ed with revolvers and demanded 4
peddlcr's money. He handed over 81,
which was not satisfactory to the rob-
bers, and one of them compelled him
to hold up his hands while the other
went through his pockets, securing
about $1,000. They then selected
abont the same amount in silks and
other fine goods and jewelry from his
wagon. The peddlcr drove to Millers.
burg and made known the robbery.
Five hundred dollars reward has becu
offered for the apprehension of the
thieves.
