IMPROVE YOUR FARMS.

From negligence and improper
cultivation large percentage of the
tilable lands of this country are be-
coming poorer and poorer every year.
With little trouble and additional
labor, this suicidal policy might be
reversed and land improved instead
of reduced. Hardly any farm
in thiscountry does not, in some
form, possess the means requisite for
its improvement and that too, at a
small expense.
The accumulated leaves, drifts,
muck, and other vegetable matter
lying around within reach of the en-
terprising farmer, might be gathered
up and added to the compost heap
sufficient to make a few acres rich
every year. A gentleman said to us
few days ago, that on his farm,
near the creek, were probably thou
sound wagon loads of accumulated
leaves and other decaying vegetable
matter, of such value that when APP.
piled to his lands would greatly in.
crease their fertility. Similar &C.
cumulations may be found in greater
or less quantities on almost every
farm. Not only these valuable &C
cumulatiOns, but if we would builc
our hog pens, feed sheds, and barn
where the litter could all be saved
and we would determine to save i
all as somuch gold dust, we might
greatly improve our lands in few
years. With these savings and ;
liberal use Of clover, peas, and otheI
green crops turned under, we might
in a few years, make Tennessee tn,
garden Of America. We have tht

The Old, Old Story.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist
Country people are always in search
of bargains. Auction sales in the cities
attract a good many farmers, who
come with their wives to look after
bargains in furniture and horses. They
look over the list of auctions and find
that a gentleman who is about to 90 to
Europe, offers his splendid furniture
and carpets for sale. Here is a chance
for bargains. The farmers wife takes
her husband-and his pocket,book-
and goes to see the handsome furniture
sacrificed. Every bid she makes is
raised by a stout man with red bottle
nose, handsomely colored and knobbed
all over by rum. The lady wonders
why this man wants every thing she
wants, and sets her mind on beating
him every time-'the nasty, red-nosed
thing" She gets mao; cher dander's
up" so to speak, and she gets all she
wanted, and a great deal more, in spite
of the remonstrances of her scared hus-

THE BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.
A Member Explains the Importance
of the Supreme Court Decision.

Nashville Union.
By reference to the dispatches in
this issue it will be seen that the SUI
preme Court decided at jackson yester-
day to sustain the building associations
in the suit brought to enjoin them from
lending money at usurious rates. "The
question raised, said member of the
Building Association last night to a
Union reporter, twas one of vital im>
portance to the building associations.
Briefly stated, it was whether or not
the building associations, of which there
are several in every city and town of
any prominence in the State, had the
right to loan money paid into the as
sociaticn by the members as fees and
dues and the principal and interest col.
lected on mortgages to the members of
the association at usurlous rate of in.
terest. Chancellor Merritt decided in
the test case brought in this city that
the building associations had not this
right. The case decided in jackson
yesterday was appealed from the
! Chancerv Court of Madison County
on similar decision. In order to fully
understand the question decided, an
explanation of the plan upon which the
building associations are operated is
necessary. This plaE is substantially
as follows: Each of the members pay
into the treasury of the lodge to which
they belong certain amount each
quarter as dues. Say, by way Of illus
traitor, that there are fifty members
and the dues are $40 a quarter. In
that case $500 is paid into the treasury
each quarter. As soon as this money
is received it is loaned to the member
of the lodge who, at an auction held
for that purpose, offers the most inter,
est for it. The money is loaned with
theexpress understanding thatit is to be
sued in building dwelling house for
the man who borrowed it, and he gives
bond and mortgage on his land,
which also runs on the house as soon
as it is built, conditioned and as securi.
ty for the payment of the loan at the
time fixed in the deed of trust. BY
this means laboring men and mechanics
are enabled to build homes of theil
} own that cost them about as much az
the rent they would otherwise pay
to their landlords during the time, say
the mortgage would rum The build
: ing associations naturally grow rich
but it can be readily seen that matters
adjust themselves, because it is mu
tual benefit arrangement, and the rat
' interest paid in the end is less thar
: the legal rate. This, too, notwith
: standing the fact that rs much as 10C
5 per cent. is frequently paid for money
., Our lodge lent $500 last night at ~
; per cent, but the man who borrowed
, it will get that rate of interest, or ever
a more, by the time he has paid 500
# into the treasury by the general dis
g tribution of wealth on the plans adopt

Attention Faruersl

A new idea, and a very valuable one,
in the method Of harvesting wheat,
oats or barley, is being shown the
farmers Of this vicinity on our park
this week. Mr.. NJ. V. Whiteman, of
Grinncl, Iowa, is exhibiting one of the
improved 10 #. Randolph Headers,
manufactured by the widely known
firm of Craver, Steele & Austin, of that
place. This great labor-saying mach
inc is rapidly superseding all other de-
vices for harvesting in the great wheat
growing sections of the United States.
1t is made in different sizes and cuts
from 8 to Ii feet wide, and from 20 to
50 acres of VIII eat are cut with it in a
day. The two great benefits of this
invention are the entire saving in
Irvine, of which none is used, and in
the saving of the grain. It is simple,
easily worked and does not get out of
order and cuts and saves all the grain.
