Clover.
'Hie subject of grasses 13 attracting atten
tion all over the South. Some writers advo
cate the claims of one kind and other writers
another kind. In many respects it i$?, per
haps, saft; to say that red clover is better
adapted to this climate than most other
grasses, and is more remunerative than any
other grass heretofore cultivated in this
country. Any rich, still land will bring
good clover. The best kind is a stiff red
land, generally called mulatto land. The
soil must be thoroughly plowed and manured
before sowing the clover. It is of no use to
row clover on poor land ; it will do no good.
Too much care cannot be taken in preparing
thy soil. It ought to be covered broadcast
with good manure, and then deeply plowed
and then sown and afterward harrowed and
left as smooth as possible. Stable manure
is the best kind of manure for clover.
The best time to sow clover is about the
first of March. Oats may be sown with it ;
but it will do better not to sow anything
whatever with it. Care should be taken to
select a piece of land free from weeds. If
this is not done, the weeds will choke the
clover out the first season. Sowing oats or
other small grain with clover will prevent
the growth of the weeds, and this is all the
good that oats will do. Some persons think
that the oats shade the clover and enable it
to stand the hot sun. This is a mistake.
The clover never grows any until the oats
or other small grain, whatever it may be, is
cut. At the very season of the year that
the clover needs a shade, if in fact it needs
it at all, in this case it has none. The root
of clover is what is called a tap-root. So
noon as this tap-root strikes down into the
ground, there is no danger of the hot suns
killing it.
Clover, when once properly set, will last
without resowing about three years. If
then plowed up it will, if not turned under
too deep, be greatly improved in stand.
One of the advantages of clover above
nearly everything else is, that it improves
the land, even if it is cut for hay and re
moved from the soil. It will keep a hill
Bide from washing, and this is a great
desideratum in many localities. Clover
ought to be sown about as thick as turnips,
and M'e would not miss it much to say in the
fiame way that turnips are sown.
If our fanners will try a small lot and pre
pare it as they would a turnip patch, they
will be convinced tlxit there is no humbug
about clover. It will pay them better than
cotton and make the land rich besides. It
will make their young stock grow as noth
ing else will, and it will make old cows look
young and sleek.
Manures and their Application.
Making and saving manure is neglected
probably more than any other branch of
farm economy. Hundreds of loads are an
nually wasted, by perhaps one-half of the
farmers, for want of care in securing from
drenching rains, hot suns, and large heaps
from fire-fang or burn. To see a gardener
buying manure at So per ton, while his
fowl house, stable, cow and hog manures are
being leached by every rain of their fertiliz
ing properties, is truly inexcusable.
My plan is to place a layer of rich earth
or mould from the woods, to form a founda
tion, in the field contiguous to the land to
be manured. As you clean out stables, haul
and spread twelve inches deep; then alter
nate with soil until compost be as high as
required.
Cow and hog manure should be composted
together ; being of a cold nature they will
not fire-fang like horse manure.
Fowl house manure should be kept until
wanted for use. Out of sight of the dwell
ing house have a similar heap for the
chamber slops, yard sweepings, etc. By
this plan you will not only have a larger
quantity of good manure, but it can be done
at times when the laborers and teams are
not specially employed. Horse manure is
preferred for early crops, as it contains all
the constituent properties to perfect and for
ward them. If it be applied in a warm state,
in drills, you have a miniature hot bed.
Equal parts of hog and cow manure applied
to Irish Potatoes, Peas, Beans, Melons, Cu
cumbers and Tomatoes, give good results ;
whereas hog manure alone, on Sweet Pota
toes produces more vine than roots, club
root in Cabbage, and too much top in tur
nips. Some years ago I selected a piece of
laud for Sweet Potatoes; part of it was
heavily manured with hog and part with
cow manure, with the expectation of realiz
ing a large crop. On the first part the vines
grew vigorously, on the latter they were
medium and sickly in appearance, but at
digging time I had a splendid crop of smooth
roots ; whereas the part first mentioned gave
a large quantity of strings and no potatoes
worth anything.
Pruning Fruit and Ornamental Trees.
We read a great deal about the proper
time of pruning trees, and especially the
apple-tree. Some prefer fall, some mid
winter, some spring; but scarcely one re
commends the very best time in our humble
opinion mid-summer. Doubtless some old
fogies will open their eyes and hold up their
hands at such an innovation, and denounce
it as an absurdity ; but we think we will be
sustained by a majority of the ' live" men of
the day.
If we desire to improve the form of a fruit
tree and get rid of the superfluous wood, we
should prune in winter; but if we desire
fruit and a perfectly healed stump, we should
prune from the fifteenth of June to the
twentieth of J uly. We have done this often
with the happiest results. The fruit-buds
form after this, and, the operation of suddenly
cutting off its growth, produce buds ; while
the winter or early spring pruning will pro
duce only wood.
In pruning ornamental trees in mid-sum
mer, the bark, instead of receding from the
stump, grows over it, and in a few years
will completely cover it and make a perfect
amputation. We have noticed this upon
our own premises as well as upon those of
others many times. This pruning is done
when the tree is taking its mid-summer
"siesta," and then wakes up, refreshed for
another start, and the bark gradually steals
over the stump as if ashamed of the shabby
looking exposure.
When the tree is in full leaf, and presents
its full form to us, we can see exactly where
the pruning should be done, in order that
Xhe
while the overgrowth may be removed, the
symmetry of the tree may be preferred.
Especially is mid-summer pruning to be pre
served, first, to produce buds on fruit-bearing
trees as before stated ; and second when
large limbs are to be removed. German

Those who are interested in raising fruit
trees must consider the above as mere sug
gestions. To the Poblic.

The Law of Flietatiox. The legal
gentlemen have begun to lay down the "law
of flirtation," and if tha opinion of certain
judges are to be taken as conclusive, the
frolicsome and sentimental young men and
women of the day will have to exercise con
siberable caution. Chief Justice Parker, of
Massachusetts, announces the opinion of the
Supreme Court of that State that an engage
ment "may be proved by those circumstances
which especially accompany such a connec
tion," and the Kentucky Court of Appeals has
declared that the mutuality of an engage
ment may be proved against a young lady
"by showing that she demeaned herself as
if she concurred in or approved the young
man's promises or offer. It is not necessary
that there should be an express promise on
either side."

ASTRAL OIL.
The only objection raised .against Astral Oil is its
cost Consider this for a moment Oil is one of
the cheapest articles of household expenses. An
ordinary family will burn say ten gallons per year.
Astral Oil may cost 20 cents per gallon higher than
Kerosene. Here then is an additional - expense of
$2 per year, a little over half a cent per day, aud for
this small difference you are insured a clear uniform
and beautiful light, together with the assurance of
perfect safety.
Is there danger in the use of Kerosene Oil ? If
so, and you can insure the perfect safety of your
family for two dollars a year, should the small dif
ference in cost be considered ?

AYER'S SARSAPARILLA,
For Purifvine: the Blood.
m FTM- A .
me repuiauon inis excel
lent medicine enjoys, is derived
from it cures, many of which
are truely marvellous. Inve
terate cases of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system seemed
saturated with corruption,
have been rmrified and cnrl
Sjst by it. Scrofulous affections
anu cusoraers, wnicn were ag
CTavatefl bv th Hfrr.fiilniic
contamination until they were painfully afflicted,
have been radically cured in such great numbers in
almost every section of the country, that the public
scarcely need to be informed of its virtues of uses.
Scrofulous poision is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenaut of the organism undermines the. constitution,
invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again'
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly developed
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
surface or among the vitals. In the later, tubercles
may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or
tumors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence
by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on
some part of the body. Hence the occasional use
of a bottle of this SARSAPARILLA is advisable,
even when no active symptoms of disease appear.
Persons afflicted with tr e following complaints gen
erally find immediate relief, and, at lenth, cure, by
the use of this SARPARILLA : St. Anthony's Fire
Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ringworm, Sore -Eyes, Sore Ears, and other erup
tions or visable forms of Scrofulous disease. Also
in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the
various Ulcerous affections of the muscular and ner
vous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are
cured by it, though a long time is required for sub
dueing these obstinate maladies by any medicine.
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint Leucorrhoea or Whites, Uterine
Ulcerations, and Female T)irapa nre. m:mnniv

Its ratio of "loss" to "amount of insurance" ami
"expense of management" are very low. The Com
pany has never ref used to pay its death claiuiB. It
imposes no restrictions on residence or travel, and
charges no extra premium on female risks. Con
sequently a "joint-life" risk of husband and wife can
be taken out on reasonable terms.
The Policy restrictions are few and reasonable.
The stockholders and managers are among the
most reliable men in Tennessee. ' Their successful
management is evidenced by the fact that a dividend
of over 20 per cent was declared at the end oi fa

Woman's
BEST FRIEND.
To relieve the achins: heart of woman and briof
joy where sorrow reigned supreme, is a mission be-
lore which the smiles of Kings dwindle intomv
insignificance. To do this is the peculiar province
of DR. J. BRADFIELD'S FEMALE REGULA
TOR ; which, from the numberless cures it has ac
complished is appropriately styled WOMAX'3
BEST FRIEND. It purifies the" blood and bracci
the nervous system. It cures Constipation mm
clarifies the skin. It never fails as thousands of
ladies testify. It is used by the most eminent Phy
sicians in Georgia in their private practice.
For full particulars, history of diseases, and cer
tificates of its wonderful cures, the reader is referred
to the .wrapper around each bottle. .
