3grrGartaraI Solaron. To MARR CORN ON the Ia id is so lovel and the soil BO retentive of that a crop on it is likely to bo drowned out in ordinary seasons, plant on a bod by all ou ns. But if there is little or no danger plant in water furrow. The latter plan makes tho cultivation of tho crop so easy, and supplies dirt to the plants just as they need vt for sending out successive whorls of roots. Break land deep, and bring it into duo tilth by rolling and harrowing alternately.

Opon drill, drop seed, and cover with a double loot plow, making small list. It is very important that tho seed bo covered very shallow. When the corn has about four leaves jdow with sweep, running very Hat, and throw just enough dirt in the original drill ns to cover the grass. Don't dirt the corn any more than cnn bo helped. When ready to work it tho next ti ne apply manure on each side of hill of corn, using such quantity of compost on an aero as contains from 150 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate, and cover it up hy running sweep ns at first working, throwing in again a moderate quantity of dirt, mid not quite tilling up the original drill furrow.

After proper Interval plow again with sweep, filling up drill furrow dirting corn freely. No more working will be necessary. THE BEST aro tlmmost perfect manures. Stable manure und cotton seed ure considered ns the most valuable natural fertilizers, but for many I urp )son they are not well balanced as sonic ingredients uro in excess above others, or some deficient in quality. By adding to these natural manure; certain amount of I hos an 1 potash, a proper balance among ingredients is produced, and a very perfect fertilizer ret-Ul ts.

Such fertili7.or suited to either very poor or very richj I l-l. To the first, it supplies everything, beeaus 1 everything is needed; to the second, which is supposed to contain everything, it adds to each ingredient of plant food, more of the same kind, and enables tho land to produco still larger crops. Now, good strong land, capable of producing good crops without manure, an increase of production calls for an addition of every ingredient of plant food. This, compost, like one made hy Furmnn's formula, will supply. How much must be applied to an acre to raise the yield up to a definite point, we arc; not prepared to any.

Agricultural science has not reached that stage of perfection Which enables it to say, a ld so much you iii reap such a crop. But in aiming for a large crop, one should apply ns large quantities of manure as experience has shown can he safely done. Now on soils in good heart, supplied with a sufficiency of humus deeply broken and thoroughly pulverised, a ton of compost may ne safely applied to an acre. This is best (lone by applying it in throe furrows instead ot drill and put in one-third of tin? ton lisi on this, put the remainder in the two list furrows, und complete hod ns usual. On good land so heavily-manured, ample distance should be given the plants.

The rows should not he less than four feet wide and plants some two feet apart in drill. All cultivation should be as shallow ns possible. To RAISE loam is the host soil. Brenk it deep an bring inti) lim st tilth. Then oed up the lands ten foot wide, leaving as broad pnd water furrow as possible.

In these water furrows you may eatter the compost freely, at points ten feet apart: put a half more of compost and add to it one pound of acid phosphate and a quarter of a pound of kaillit, or two quarts of or a gallon of leached ashes. Work up th isVn i tu re thoroughly into the soil for a space three feet in diameter, milking llnally a. broad flat hilljiind covering the top of it with earth not mixed with manure. Everything is now ready tor planting. Thrust seed into the soil with eye downward, so that it can come up without Put them lu line withcentreof that in piow, i.iejfplont8 may closely.

Cultivate entirely with sweepe or scrape, running plows nt short intervals, HO ns not to allow grass to get a start, mid ti) keen In finest tilth, if booties at tr ck i the young plants, dust them th ono part of puris green to one hundred parts of cheap 'lour. I After plants become wei establish- ed, thin out to two in a Iv ll. When i thoy begin to run arrange tho vines in the direction of the drill, so as to allow close plowing ns long ns possible. As tho vinos spread plow 1 farther and farther from tue drill, not loosening the vines from their fastenings. Hand uod ulong drill I If necessary.

Plenty of vegetable matter the i soil with applications of potaaslc I manuro are tho best preventions of rust, but nothing is infallible, i Kainit has boon usod ssTully In some instances. As this subject of growing Interest to farmers In this section, wo give the following suggestions. First as to soil and exposurelimy soil with good cloy subsoil is rather better than red land, though 1 the latter is adopted ta some varieties, and grow grapes, general ly, quito well. Grapes ure very Impatient bf excessive moisture, boneo wei Nd rained land and roils not too close suit them best. A high southoast slope is the best for a vineyard.

Staking has ono advantage over trellises, it allows tho grapes to 1)0 plowed in more than one direction. This is very desirable In the general breaking up tho vineyard should have in winter, otherwise there is no special advantage In staking. Wire trellises ure cheaper than stakes, as comparatively few posts are required for thc trellis. Tho vineyard shoo bo plowed thoro'thly, hut not too doeply, every winter, having care thai the roots of tho vines are not torn up much. Some will necessarily bo cut.

Before plowing, scatter around each vine (notright up against it) a mixture of ashes and eowlot manure or wood earth, or somothi similar; from one to three quarts of ashes to each vine is desirable. Any quantity of woods earth, the more tho botter; but of manure only a moderate quantity should be applied. Tho first year the vine i ure set noisome crop may bo planted in middles, but the rows should not bo nearer to tho vines than four feet. Borne low-growing crop is preferable. Avoid one which will shade the vines.

Cotton is better than corn; peas, that do not not run too mu ch better than either. After tho first year give up tin? vineyard wholly to the vines. land is a minor consideration in this county, Ive the vines ample distance: ten feet each way ls nono too much, though ten by eight is frequently adopted, The Ives is one of the earliest and one of tho hardiest varieties, dees not rot, and when allowe I to ripen full isa passably good grape. But it is not fully ripe until some weeks after it turns generally eaten green and therefore recurded as a poor grapo. Next in ease of cultivation and certainty of bearing is thc Concord.

It rots badly at times, but is a sure bearer, and is the most popular variety with the masses. The cuttings root very readily, the vines are very strong and thrifty. The Perkins is a hurdy variety-but musky and not relished by some. Elmira is hurdy and good. Delewaro the most popular of all with those of dainty palate, but is delicate when young, and requires more manuring and belter cultivation than most varieties; does well after it is well established, and is comparatively free from rot.

TIIK CULTURE OK culture of root crops is profitable I In mon? than one way. The roots are excellent for all kinds of stock, especially sheep, and cows for lintier, and also for swine. As these special kinds of stock are well suited to our climate and locality it follows that we should root crops of some kind for tin ir uses. Hut their culture is exceedingly useful to the soil and improves it both by means of tho manure used and the clean cultivation needed by Which the too prevalent woods are kept dewn. They yield a large quantity of food, by which many animals can be fed, and thus a quantity of manure is made for the enrichment of tho land.

The best roots are sugar beets and mangels, these devoid of any ill odor or Haver which might injure (ho butter made. For all other stock than cows, turnips or ruta-bagas may be used, but they are no more easily grown than the beets and mangels, and these are most nutritious. Tho former contain about 11 or 12 per cent of sugar and are thus worth for feeding several times mon? than the others. Sweet potatoes are perhaps the best and most easily grown crop ol this kind, as they are richer in sugar and starch, which are elements of food most useful for fattening Hut tliey i( ld ie? more than a third moeli as the roots above' numed, which will produce from 800 to 1200 boah els per acre when well grown. As the culture of sweet potatoes, however, is well understood all over tin? Southern States, this crop might be largely grown for feeding stock, and the Hilmar beets might bo tried in a small way as a beginning.

lt th, 1887. Although tho marble balls of the Capitol were deserted by our lawmakers a week ago, many of them still linger In will contlnuro here for months to como. The Northern Representatives ure loath to leave tho mild climate of tho Capital at this season of the year, and aro always disposed to romain hero, until, as ono of them remarked, it thaws out at homo. Tho air is still full of extra talk. Democratic members ofCongivss and others who have moans of knowledge; on tho subject, do not now believe that the Fiftieth Congress will be called together, soon, but that an extra session in tho early nutum ts an evil that ought to ho faced.

Tho House of Representatives that was elected in Nov mber last, entered upon its official existence on tho 4th. of this month, and its members are now under pay. They are doing MO service und without organisation are incapable of doing any. lt is not until they have assemble, elected a speaker, and boen arranged in committees, that they can enter upon the work ot logislati n. If Congress does not meet until the usual time in December, in tho light of ninny precedent little or nothing can be expected of it until tho beginning of next year, for it ls well known that no Congress has attempted to do any real work until after the holiday recess.

An extra session is always unpopular and President ls nix ions, course, to avoid it, but in order thut some of the important legislation to come up during the uexl year may he matured in time, it is thought to be tho only alternativo. Those whoso counsel ls frequently sought at tho White House now say that the eomtemplated extra session would begin about tho flrst of October and run along into the regular session, and that tho questions of revenue and taxation would rociovo attention fl rst. Another reason why it is deemed expedient to make the Fiftieth Congress take advantage of extra time is the fact that the next year ill be dovotod largely to President making, Although it seems but yesterday since Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated, yet, only fifteen months from now, will the National Convention bo bold to nominate bis successors. The two great parties in Congress, when they assemble after tho holiday recess, will bo surcharged with polities, and every movement that is mude at either end of tho lapitol will have moro or less reference to candidates and polities and the issues of the ensuing campaign.

between tho friends of tho Administration on the one hand, intent on io dntaining its credit and vindicati lg its record, and the opponents of tho Administration on tho other, eager to disparage ii tho confidence of tho people-hotucen combinations here and combinations there in the interest of rival aspirant-the Capitol will partake far moro of the character of an arena of partisan eontrovesy than of serious pnd disinterested labor for tho welfare of tho county. Considering all tills, tho friends of the Administration fool that the President would be entirely justified in promoting t'- chances of legislation which tin public interests demand hy ho call of an extra session. President Cleveland's care and industry in reading all bills, groat ami small, and examining thom person illy before signing lils name to them, lias been criticised as un unnecessary assumption of labor on the part of tho Chief Executive. It is quito certain Mr. Cleveland has taken more pains in Ibis respect than any of lils predecessors, and it cannot be said that any of bis assistants ever wrole his signature to enacted This responsibility ho never delegated to a member qf his Cabinet oven in the ease of unimportant hills.

On the 4th of March, 1885, when Mr. Authur and his Cabinet arrived at the Capitol and entered the President's room where, on tho in huge piles lay the bills to which his signature was tobe affixed, one pott tor the President was not enough. Half a dozen more pens were called for, the door was locked (the inauguration ceremonies were then waiting) and in a remarkably short space of time Dvory one of the bills had Mr. Arthur's name to it. At the State Department where they can be examined, the signatures to tho bills of thetdate show a variety of penmanship.
