he (Bhavlotle 'J&emocvat, CSlhavIoUe, 2Tf AGRICULTURAL. Questions and Answers. Peas for Fall Planting. Can you tell me, if you know a variety of pea that may be sown in the Fall with oats, and that will withstand the Winter and come on after the oats are harvested and make a crop ? I have been referred to you for information. Winsboro, S. C, Aug. 24, 1880. " Answer. We know of no variety of pea that will do this. The variety known as the Old lied Cow Pea is the hardiest with which we are acquainted. We have known it to withstand the Winter when plowed in with oata in the Fall, when the ground was well covered with grass Vines, kc, and the Winter was mild. There is also a black variety that is said lo be very hardy, but we do not believe that any variety has yet been found, whose qualities would warrant the experiment. Mutton Sheep . Will you tell me which is the best breed of sheep for mutton ? I live near enough to the ltaleigh market I think to make it pay. Q- Answer. The South Down is universally acknowledged to be superior to all other breeds for mutton. Wheat for Bottom Lands. Please in form me as to the best variety of wheat to sow on bottom lands that are subject to overflow, and that will best resist rust. Patterson's Mills, Aug. 27, 1880. Answer. To put a crop of wheat on lands liable to overflow is too great a risk and should be avoided if practicable. Expe rience has demonstrated that the red varie ties are best where qualities for endurauce against weather tests are required. We know of but one variety in this coun try which it is claimed is free from the rav ages of rust. This was imported at heavy cost four years . ago by the Messrs. Miller and Mr John Wadsworth of Charlotte. It is a large amber wheat with heavy, stout stalk, and yields finely. Through these four years it has stood the test perfectly on the model farm of Mr Wadsworth at Char lotte, and he is satisfied that it is rust proof llv the wav. we would Ruercest to our J V 7 WW farmer friends, who may visit Charlotte to go out and take a stroll over tnis larm, They may then see what effect the "Nc Fence Law," intelligent fertilizing, and thorough tillaore will accomplish. Especial ly would we commend its inspection to those of our people' who believe that grass and grain farming will not pay anywhere in the cotton belt ot our atate. How t0 dress a Sheep. Good mutton should constitute the chief meat diet on every farm, especially throughout the Sum mer season. Hut how few people know how to dress it. It is a fact that cannot be denied, that in the small country markets it is difficult to get mutton that can be rel ished. It is fat enough, it is clean enough; but that "wooly taste" of which almost overy child has heard setm3 to pervade or permeate the whole carcass. And to avoid this almost all our people, in butchering a mutton; are scrupulously careful not to let the wool touch the flesh, and their greatest caro is to take the hide off as quick as pos Bible. This is all well enough and should bo done, but it does not meet the trouble. The "wooly taste" is caused by the gases of the intestines being absorbed by the nesn, and therefore the first thing to be done after the animal is dead is to remove rapidly and quickly the intestines and before taking off -i i-i c i i iL. i ine niue. auspenu it vy me umu legs. thrust the knife through the neck and back of the wind-pipe and sever the arteries. Death will rapidly ensue. Lay open the skin along the belly and legs quickly and strip it back so as to be out of the way, and then disembowel it as auicklv as possible. Now remove the skin and with clean water wash it out thoroughly, and if cooked pro perly no unpleasant taste will be discover- im. I i. j j:rr v. properly and a bunglingly dressed mutton, as boarders throughout our whole state can testify. h. Jj. P. in Raleigh JVews. Plowing by Electricity. In electricity, at least, it seems that won ders will never cease. To all the startling discoveries and wonderful inventions de rived from this mighty power, we are now promised the grand achievement ot having it attached as a successful motor to the plow. The celebrated chocolate manufac turer, M. Menier, has been making some in teresting experiments in his park, Noisiel, France, utilizing the power of electricity for this purpose. Abe machine is described as looking like the combination of a velocipede and a plow; and the first public exhibition proved a great surprise to all those who were present, the experiment being a per fect success. In describing the performance, it is stated that the machine moves offatagiven sig nal, from the edge of the field, leaving be- nina it a wiae, aeep lurrow, ana turning around at the upper end of the field, came back in the same manner. The motive power was supplied through wires by a Gramme machine, about half a mile distant, and the plow ono of the Fowles pattern, having six shares did about the same work as if drawn by long oxen. A man seated upon a saddle guided the apparatus over the field, controling the depth of the furrow by means of a lever. The Messrs. Menier have purchased the patent on the process of plowing by electricity. Chicken Cholera. Our highest authorities and most thor ough investigators all agree that this dis ease is a ''blood poison," caused by malarial or miasmatic atmosphere agents. The remedies and preventives which are indica ted then, are such as will neutralize the poisons in the blood, tone the system to render it more impervious to morbid and epidemic influences, and also destroy mala rial and epidemic poisons in the atmosphere. Proper dietary and hygienic measures must also be observed in housing in dry, well ventilated quarters, kept scrupulously clean and frequently whitewashed with fresh lime whitewash, to which has been added a very weak solution of carbolic acid. Diseased quarters should be saturated daily with a solution of carbolic acid. San Iramisco Chronicle Cooked Food for Domestic Animals. An exchange remarks": Thegreat value of cooked food for domestic animals has been demonstrated in this country and in Europe. The Germans have long tised cooked feed for their army horses, and found it to excel all other kinds of food in giving greater strength to the horse and increasing his power of endurance. It is a recognized fact in England and on the continent, among the most successful stock breeders, that horses and cattle thrive better, and are far healthier when fed on cooked food, than when fed on any kind of raw food. Our best scientific authors all agree that well crushed grain is not only more easily mas ticated and more readily digested, btit that the process called cooking enables the ani mal to assimilate a far greater percentage of nutritive elements than can be assimila ted from the same amount of grain fed in a natural state. x By the Daniels improved process, the grain is evenly cooked, dried and crushed, in a manner that renders it preferable by far to feed prepared by any of the crude processes heretofore used. Among the disadvantages of using the raw, ripe grain as food for horses are the following: Many horses are so voracious, and eat so rapidly that they do not proper ly masticate their food, and, in many cases, the grain is too hard to be properly crush ed by the teeth. It is estimated that more than one-half of the diseases which afflict horses are induced by the use of uncooked food, and its bad effects upon the digestive apparatus. The hard, flinty covering of ripe kernels of grain can neither be proper ly ground by the teeth of the acimal, nor is much of it soluble in the stomach, and most of it passes from the horse undigested. All the energy expended in attempts to assimi late raw grain food is just so much waste and positive loss. Lime as a Fertilizer. The quantity to be applied should be in a great measure determined by the charac ter of the soil. If it contains a large amount of vegetable matter then more lime may be used with advantage than where it contains but little, or if the sou is a cold clay, and the lime is desired to cut it up and improve its mechanicaPcondition as well as chemical, then quite a large amount fifty to a hun dred bushels may often be applied with benefit. But, on light soils, that is, sand and sandy loams, ten to twenty bushels is sufficient for one application. For wheat apply just before sowing the grain. It is not best to mix grain with other fertilizers, especially those containing ammonia. There are no vegetables or plants which would be a sure indication that the soil requires lime, but there are some that thrive better on soils deficient in lime than on those contain ing a large amount. A farmer should never use lime with the idea that it is in itself a fertilizer, but only a dissolvent of the plant food already in the soil. NEW GOODS.

Among the many discoveries looking to the hap piness and amelioration of the human race, none is entitled to higher consideration than Dr. J. Brad field's Female Regulator, "Woman's Best Friend." By it woman Is emancipated from numberless ills peculiar to her sex. Before its magic power all irregularities of the womb vanish. It cures "whites," suppression of the "menses," and removes uterine obstructions. It also cures constipation, strengthens the system, braces the nerves and purifies the blood. It never fails, as thousands of . women will testify. Thomasvillk, Ga., June 28, 1877.

Jan. 9, 1880 y JSPThe heavy morning dew of the North and West militates against the use by farm ers of the combined reaper, thresher and separator. But in the dry climate of Cali fornia it works to a charm. One of these machines, lately seen in operation there, is described as a combined header, threshing machine and separator, operated by a team of twenty mules. It cut a little more than a rod wide, was moved at a good walking rate, and taking in the heads of the grain at one side, dropped the offal behind, and delivered the clean grain, sacked, at the other side, ready for marketing. The pro cess leaves the straw on the land, where it serves the purpose of manure for another crop.

The superiority and advantage of the Hamilton Cultivator becomes manifest upon examination. The wheels are always in the Water Fubrow and not on the adjacent beds. We warrant it to run steady, and do good work in the toughest or hardest soil ; requiring but little effort to guid,and to be unequaled in the quality of its work. The hitch is directly attached to the ends of the beams, is adjustable high or low, for deep or shal low plowing and takes all weight off the horses necks. The uprights besides their internal adjustment are left free to swing back aud forth on the arch bar; which equalizes the draft by leaving each horse to draw his own load, and prevents the tongue or wheels from being thrown across the row by the uneven movement of the team or any other cause ; thus preserving the line of draft and decreasing the labor of guiding. We furnish with each Cultivator 4 Shovels. 2 Clod-Fenders. 2 Bull-Tonsrues. Double and Single- Trees, Neck-Yoke and 1 Wrench. E. NYE HUTCHISON & SON, March 12, 1880. Agents. Charlotte, N. C.

Jan. 1,1880. KYLE & HAMMOND. How Watches are Made. It will be apparent lo any one, who will examine a Solid Gold Watch, that aside from the neces sary thickness for engraving and polishing, a larire proportion of the precious metal used, is in t did only to stiffen and bold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solodity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as util ity and beauty are concerned. In Jamls U' Patent Gold Watch Casks, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solodity ami strength produced at from one-third to one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as follows : a plate of nicklo composition metal, specially adapted to thcpuriHw, has two plates of solid gold soldered one on cadi' side. The three are then passed between poliMiul steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy platei composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c, are cut and shaped by suitables dies and formers. The gold in these cases is suHu i.-ntly thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, cngravini; and enamelling; the engraved cases have been car ried until worn perfectly smooth by time and v.st; without removing the gold. This is the only Caxe made irith tiro jdatts of y-i.'U Gold and Warranted bu Special Certifirate. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illustrated Catalogue, and to see warrant.
