Permanent Grass without PIoughine.

NV own long experience, and that Of
many of my acguainrances, proves that
some Of the best grass lands we possess
either for pasture or hay have been OBJ
tanned on clayey loans without plough
| ing After the forest was cut off and tue
ground cleared 1t was sown with grass
seed early in spring and then simply
narrowed and brushed So many
stumps stood on the land ard it was
81 full of large roots that ploughing
IL attempted would have beer very
hard work, requiring powerful team. ex
Il a strong heavy implements; and even
with thesesit could only be partially
done, leaving the surface in very rough
state On such, the seed did not take so
well nor make so good and smooth a
sod as when sowed without ploughing.
7 he roots left In the land proved double
benefit. Gradually decaying they light
ened the stiff soil and made 1t friable
keeping it more open to rains and
dews, at the same time fertil
izing it to considerable extent
by furnishing food to the growing grass
| know meadows thus formed which
have produced ton of first rate hay on
the average per acre each year for half a
century without application of stable
manure or fertilizer Of any kind The
stumps here were also left till so rotted
they could be easilv pulled by yoke or
two of catll,. piled up and then burned !:
these, too, added something to the fer

DEFENDED HER HONOR.
Col Durham, a well-Known Railroader
Kills the Traducer of
His Wife.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Sept. 27.-About 6
p. NJ, Col Bradford Durham, general
manager of the Alabama Midlandirailroad,
shot with double barreled shotgun and
instantly killed James Cunningham, a
young man nineteen years old. Some mat
tiers of domestic character led to the trou-
BILE.
Faom friend of Col Arson it is learned
that some time ago Mrs. Durham received
an anonymous letter asking her to meet the
writer in certain park. Mrs. Durham
turned the letter over to her husband, who
had q decoy reply written and arranged to
have the place of meeting watched. A
friend of Durham reported that
Cunningham was the party seen
at the Trysting place. Cunningham was an
employee of Durham and the latter sum-
marily discharged him. Some days later
Col Durham was informed of the fact that
Cunningham went about town showing the
decoy letter, saying he had received it from
Mrs Durham. This so enraged
the colonel that he procured a shot
gun, and seeking Cunningham, shot and in
stantly killed him. The charge entered his
chest.
Col. Durham, previous 70 his connection
with the Midland, was superintendent of
the Louisville and Nashville and the Balti-
more and Ohio. The town is greatly ex
cited over the sensation.
