The plaintiff then avers that Coyne
cunningly dev sed all of the transfers to
defrsud him Of his property, and that he
never had his suspicious aroused until the
fall of 1855, when petition had been
filed in court by one George Fl. Maish,
against Fluegel and Coyne to set aside
the conveyance of the farm. Coyne ad
vised petitioner that it was necessary for
him (Coyne) to have the bond to proper

TO him. When Coyne was asked to re-
turn the bond he said he had lost 1t, but
would make it right
Fluegel AYERS he has repeatedly re-
guested Coyne to reconvey the farm, but
Coyne put him off on one pretext or
another-and finally declared the farm
was conveyed to him in consideration of
his conveyance of the property in Rock

Complaint is often made that window
plants look sickly, and that their leaves
turn yellow and fall. Insects often
cause the trouble, and in some cases ii
is because leaves are not kept clean.
When the pots are in~suficiently drained
the water remains stagnant about the
roots. Roots need air, and when this
is excluded no food is absorbed, the
reserve material in leaf and stem is
soon exhausted and the plant is starved.
Window plants should have no water
when the soil is damp.
A plant is in a healthy condition
when it is allowed to dry out until wa
ter Is needed, and this demand should
be made twice a week or oftener. ac-
cording to the size Of tho pot and the
plant, the rapidity of Transportation
and OF evaporation from the soil. An
@rated soil is essential to success with
window plants, and it is just as neces-
sary for the health of shrubs and
trees. Last June a dam built across a
little brook which runs through my
meadow raised the water level of q
pond, half a dozen square rods in ex.
tent, about two feet. A thrifty tulip
tree stood ten feet from tho bank, but
in a few days every leaf turned yellow
and fell. So many Of its feeding roots
we're shut GU from air by the water
that saturated the soil about them
that the tree died Of starvation. Gar

Three Bales on Two Acres Of Poor
iN Land.

AA1 IA LIZ ---
To raise three bales OF cotton to the
C on worn-out pine lands is quite
an exploit. A correspondent OF the
Leesyille Peoples Friend, writing from
Anacoco. Vernon Parish, tells how he
did it:
l will give your readers a history
OF the manner in which l managed to
raise three bales of cotton from two
acres of ground.
First-The land was pine land which
had been in cultivation ten or twelve
years and the last crop raised on
the land before the present crop was
oats.
Second-In the management OF land,
!, in the first place, took a shovel pillow
and run the rows off four and a hall
feet apart l then filled this furrow
with fertilizer from the stable and rak.
ing from the tramp yard, bedded out
on that and then planted in first Mon
day in April
Third cultivated it as follows:
When it was large enough to work ]
a a scouter pillow around it and
chopped it out to a stand. After thisl
used the scouter fastened to a solid
sweep, and whenever the middles be-
came grassy or needed work l used the
junior cultivator, running it once in a
row.. / plowed it again as above, and
owing to the wet weather, that was all
the cultivation it received. -Vicks-

Do You Buy on Time ?

-
On time or for cashp What is the
difference between the two ways of
doing business? Let US see. A good
commercial fertilizer containing from
II to q per cent. of ammonia sells, on
time, practically at about $33 per ton.
The same fertilizer can be bought now
for cash at about $27 per ton. Here is
a difference of about Sc per ton in favor
Of the cash buyer. What per cent. of
interest is that on the cost pricep The
cash time with sellers is May 1. That
is to say, if you pay by that date you
get your fertilizer at the cash prices.
Reckoning from May 1, it is six
months till November, or seven
months till the LIST Of December, by
which time the bill must be paid, or
you will be looked after closely and
sharply. Say seven months. The in
terest the farmer pays on $27 for seven
months, say Sc, which is a fraction
over t~hirty-eight per cent. per annum
Cipher it out for yourself. The figures
are correct. Can-farmers ever prosper
in that kind Of businessP
Or suppose the farmer buys on the
cotton-option plan. He agrees to de-
liver in November $40 pounds Of mid
ding cotton for a ton of fertilizer.
He gives his note for $37. 50-S75
pounds Of cotton at ten cents. In due
time he takes his cotton to market
II it classes middling, he pays
his bill with 375 pounds, no matter
what the market price for the day is.
II middling cotton is worth nine cents
on the day he settles, he pays $3.50
with $751; 8 worth of cotton. just here
Is where some farmers are deIuded-
dumfuzzled with the idea that they got
ten cents for cotton when the market
was only nine cents, utterly oblivious
Of the fact hat they have paid s. more
than the cash price Of the fertilizer, or
t~hirty-eight per cent. on cost. Granted
for arguments sake that the farmer
ought to pay interest IN his debt. Ten
per cent. is IA very high rate Of interest,
but say ten per cent. That rate on $27
for seven months amounts to $1.574.
Take this from &c. and ii. leaves g. 24,
which the farmer pays over and above
the current money-lending rate of in
terest, on so small a transaction as $27
for the short space Of six or seven
months. f.srs
Another point: If the farmers cot
ton does not class middling, he gets
only the market price for it. The cot
ton must b middling grade, or the
cotton opdon contract falls to pieces,
and he must pay the difference between
the price Of the lower grade cotton and
that of middling, which amounts to q
bali cent or a cent on the pound, OF
krom two to five dollars on a bale. Fol
instance: If middling cotton is worth
niue cents, and the farmers love-
grnde which he brings to pay hi
note is worth eight and a quarter
cents. bore viii be the settlement
