CAUTION.
Look out for fires if the drouth
contiuues. The grass and weeds
are dead, the leaves are falling
fast and a fire once started will
spread with terrible rapidity. To
have to make rails and rebuild a
long string of fence is very labori
i ous, very expensive and ver}
vexatious. Every one should be
careful at this time to guard
1 against accidental fires, and the
! person who purposely fires the
woods should be severely punish
ed.
We have been listening for
sometime to hear of somebody's
house or fence being destroyed by
fire. “Forewarned is forearmed.”

The Best Way of all to Plant
Trees.
Plant the seeds just where you
want the tree to stand. Plant two
three, or a half a dozen seeds of
i api les, peaches, pecans, or other
kinds. Protect them from the
I stock, the plow and the harrow,
j by driving stout stakes around
i them.
i Before they begin to crowd
i each other, thin to one in a place,
i and be sure to keep down all
I weeds near them. You can graft
the apple tree the first or second
1 year after planting. In this way
i the roots w ill not be bruised or
- mangled as is invariably done in
; j transplanting. Peaches coramon
; ly produce “after their kind;” it
! ■ is said apples do not. Trees here
; should be planted at a consiscra
, ble distance apart—not less than
| 30 feet. The writer prefers 40
[ feet as they stand drouth better.

Wheat Sowing.
From the Southern Cultivator,]
Wheat sowing in the cotton
states extends from the 1st of Oe*
tober to December, according to
latitude and elevation—the major
ity of farmers, even as far north
■ as a4 degrees, regarding Novem
ber as the best monlb. It is wor
thy of investigation, however,
whether earlier sowing, judicious
ly grazed by sheep or calves,
would not make better return;
but whatever the time decided on
i it is not too early to begin prepa
, ration. The surface soil should
■ he very tho.ioughly pulverized by
i repeated plowings and harrow
1 ings, and whatever manure is ap
■ i plied, should be most thoroughly
i, mixed with it. Wheat and other
r like plants have innumerable
i-1 small iibrous roots and each of
these ought to be able to find
I something to feed upon. This
; they cannot do if the manure is
i iu spots. VV heat is also a plant
of weak digestive power, it needs
y concentrated rich food—especial
ly such as abounds in ammonia,
,} and an abundance of it ns it has
very little root, power or ability
r to extract substances that arc
m locked up in the soil. As com
pared with many others of our
cultivated pla its, it holds the
same relulion that the pampered
{ horse fed on grain from its birth,
1 : has to the “scrub” who has lived
_' upon our scanty, native pastures
_ all his life. Sow wheat then, on
! rich land, and on rich land only.
- i Considering the quantity of seed
] and labor required to sow down
a large fra of poor land and the
uncertainty of the crop from rust
and other causes, such ventures
do not pay. Cotton-seed, which
can be had on almost every farm
is unexcelled ns a fertilizer for
wheat. A little phosphate, say
a hundred pounds to ever)- 30
bushels ol seed, will improve it.
but alone it produces excellent
results, and ttic cotton-planter,
therefore, has no excuse for starv
ing a wheat crop. It is good pol
icy to reserve a part of the manure
intended for smnll grain crops, to
be applied in the spring as a top
dressing if the manure is suitable
for the purpose. Cotton seed is
not but the commercial fertilizers,
guano and nitrate of soda, are,
and the last, in connection with
salt, is one of the best for this
purpose —100 pounds of the soda
to L'00 pounds salt per acre.
White wheats are more delicate
than the red, and require richer
soil. For general purposes, per
haps the Amber varieties are best,
being hardy, and making flour
sufficiently white to satisfy the
good housewife. Again, we urge
upon everjT farmer to raise
enough wheat for home supply—
it will not cost much to do this—
it will look better—it will make
him more independent and it will
excite a most wholesome influ
ence on the condition of the
country at large. Cotton docs
not bring such remunerating pric
es, that we can afford to raise it
to buy everything else in the
world.
Make Home Ueautiful.
Few are strong in their own
strength alone. We all
need assistance and encourage
ment to keep in the right path.
And where, if not in our homes,
must we look for this? There we
expect sympathy in our sorrow,
help in our time of need, kind,
gentle words when we do wrong,
and glad ones when our hearts
are filled with joy. There the
moral as well as the physical at
mosphere must be pure and in
vigorating—the influences so at
tractive that all are contended
and happy.
If in our home less thought
were given to plain display and
more to making them truly beau
tiful, many who are now plunged
in the deepest depths of sin would
be safe within thiir circle. Our
ears would not be so frequently
shocked by tales of crime; for
how often, on learning the histo
ry of some quilty one have wc
found that their homes were un
happy. Thus from them they
were easity tempted into scenes
which, in comparison with
those of home, seemed full of
beauty, but which, alas! general
13' end in ruin.
Wealth is not essential in ma
king our homes lovel3'. It is true
riches can procure many tilings
which are beyond the reach of the
poor; their homes can be made
stately and grand; but money can
not purchase happy hearts and
smiling faces, and those are nec
essaiy elements in a pleasant
home. If you have but one room
inaka that a bower of neatness
and order. A few books on the
table, a picture on the wall, a
flower in the window. These,
with a glimpse of sunshine, a
bright face and clnerful smile,
make a picture which cause the
most discontented to exclaim:
“There is no place like home!”
Wives and mothers, make your
homes a place of beaut3’, a haven
of peace, and rest to the husband !
returning weaiy and perhaps dis
heartened from his days labor.
Let no complaint of your own
cares greet his cars, otter him
bright smiles, gentle words, and
loving acts. Let him associate
everything that is pure and good
with your name; forge round him
him from every other influence
to home and you. And your
children, give them all the inno
cent amusement you can. Let
them think their happiest mo
ments are spent under the roof
tree. Teach them to love and
conlidc in you. Thus you
will be able to guide them over
tbc shoals of temptation, into the
clear stream of an upright life,
down which, after your care is
withdrawn, they inay glide safely
to the Golden Gate
Husbands and fathers, do not
let your presence cust a gloom
over the household; do not come
with frowns or words of reproof;
make your little ones love you;
teach them to dread your absence
and long for your return. When
their glad voices ring out in toues
of welcome do not hush them nor
their joyous laughter, the over
flowing of happy hearts, but give
them also kind and merry greet
ing. Enter their sports, live over
your childhood's days with them,
j It is not beneath your dignity
to give them happiness, and re
membering how coldness chilled
your own heart in youth, give
them plenty of warm generous
sympathy. And through nil
guard and keep them from evil,
for it is young the seed is sown,
which in time brings forth good
or bad fruit.
Let all members of the family
do their part toward making their
i home happy. Then as the years
roll by, out of the fullness of their
i hearts each may say, “My home
is to me the most beautiful ou
earth.”

A Proposed Settlement.
From the New York Sun.]
Our Government issued the
greenbacks originally to carry on
the war. It owed the soldiers,
and sailors and contractors vast
sums which it could not pay at
once, and so gave its promises to
pay in se.veial shapes. Some were
in bonds drawing interest, some
in certificates of indebtedness,
some in notes payable on demand,
the latter being'the greenbacks.
It has paid ul! its bonds that have
fallen due, and a good many
others not due. It has paid all
its certificates of Indebtedness. It
has squared up all its current
flonting indebtedness of ev
ery name and nature and
does not owe anybody any
debt that is past due; with just
one exception, and this is the
greenbacks. These greenback
obligations ought to be paid just
as much as any other obligation of
the Government. If they were
paid, the Government would be
lair and square with all the world,
and would owe no man a cent ex
cept on its bonds, which are worth
a premium in gold, and which no
holder therefore asks to be paid
off. The finances of the Treasu
ry would thus be perfectly easy,
and it could hold its head high,
and its credit would be uniin
peached and unimpeachable be
fore the world; and it would not
be long before this state of things
would cuable it to borrow money
as cheap as any body on the
face of the earth, and thus reduce
its annual interest payments much
more than it saves now by keep
out the greenbacks. Its real pcf
cuniary interest would thus har
monize with its plain duty.
iu uu mi uii3, it 13 4uni; uii
necessary to pay anj' gold to any
body, or to go through the farce
the government has lately been
engaged in, of heaping up in va
rious quarters tons of silver to
commence redeeming the fraction
al currency. All that is necessa
ry is that the Treasury should
give notice that if anybody lias
got mote greenbacks than he can
profitably use in other ways, the
government will take them up
and give its note or bond on in
terest at or 5 per cent, for them
oil presentation. When this is
done, the whole problem of resum
ption is solved, and in the course
of time, and with
out haste and without disturbance
specie payments will come about
of themselves. This is all as
plain as a pike statf to everybody
who gives any attention to the
subject.
But if the thing is so simple,
and the way is so plain, why is
not the plan adopted? It is said
in answer that if you begin ty
move the greenbacks from cirri
tation, you will create a scarcity
of money, and the rate of interest
will rise. But the truth is thejrnte
of interest will not rise above what
the government pays. The mo
ment the borrower will give mVre
for the greenback than the Treas
ury pays, that moment the holder
of the greenback will turn to him
and lend it instead of going to the
Government to exchange it for a
bond. The whole thing, can be
controlled by putting the bond at
a low rate of interest, tinder
such a limitation the greenbacks
would be redeemed only when
there was an excess of cheap
in one}’, and when nobody would
feel its loss.
In this way we should creep
gradually but steadily back, by
a noiseless process, to a sound
and stable circulating medium.
It would luirg us back to specie
payments by an almost impercept
ible process, and without requir
ing any of the formidible and
cumbersome preparations which
are dreaded as necessary to re
sumption. The amazing folly of
the Government, in its recent and
vuiiviib i uuuuo tvi icvivim uni
ty or forty millions of fractional
currency, by accumulating silver
which nobod}- wants, and whose
attempted redemption will inevit
ably end in confusion and failure,
tends to create and spread these
very apprehensions, and so be
comes a stumbling block to the
very change which the Secret a ry
of the Treasury wishes to accom
plish.
Why will not the financial de
partment endeavor to grasp this
question in its entirety, aud go
before Congress at the next ses
sion with a plan of redemption
such as we have indicated? If it
does not like one rate of interest,
let it propose another. A rate
can be found which will neither
unsettle values nor reduce the
volume of currency injuriously el
even perceptibly, and yet which
will fix and steady its value, and
put the country on the road to a
sound financial condition.
We consider the current discus
sion. on one side and the other,
on the pros and cons of inflation
and contraction, to be to u great
extent valueless. The whole
country wants a sound and stable
currency. The question is how
to develop it out of the elements
around us. We shall never reach
the settlement of that question l>y
an open contest between inflation
and contraction. There has got
to be a compromise of opinion
and judgment, looking to the final
goal of specie payments as its
end. But the greatest care and
discretion must be used us to the
means. We ought to have wise
men euough and statesmen enough
to bring order otu of our present
chaos, and not attempt to deter
mine so delicate a question by the
wager of battle.

The business agent of the Win-!
consin Slate Grange talks thus:
“The mystic word Grange is by
some supposed to possess a magic
power, before which prices must
invariably shrink to hard-pan.
We have been weighed and test :
ed by dealers and manufacturers. I
We stand precisely the same j
chance other dealers do. If we
combine our orders and buy large- i
ly, we can buy cheap. If we do
not combine our orders, buy only
one or two articles from a Arm, is
no reason why we should expect
anything different from the retail
price. The laws of commercial
relations are established. Singly
an individual cannot take advan
tage of them, as the amount pur- j
chased is not large enough to
command the discount.”
The report of the Kentucky
agent is very satisfactory for the
first year. The agency has been
of vast benefit to the members of
the Order. The business has
been large enough to almost cover
the house rent, clerk hire, etc.,
with but little cost to the State
Grange, and probably by the
meeting of the Stato Grange all
expenses will be met and the
agency prove entirely self sus
taining. The establishment of j
the agency has caused a saving to
the members of more than a mill
ion of dollars. Brother Gutherie j

These Counties are situated in the heart
of the
Coal-&-lron-Region
of the .State. Coal of the finest quality
abounds in large quantities in each of
them, especially in Pope and Johnson,
where mining is now iu successful ana
highly remunerative operation.
Thev also possess fanning lauds unsur

and will compare favorably with any othe
states »n the Union, for fertility of soil and
salubrity of climate.
There are iu these counties a large
amount of
Valuable—Timber,
principally oak, cottonwood, walnut, cher
ry hickory, gum, sycamore, maple, ash and
pine.

herdsgras* grow well on the low lanus.
The counties are well situated for the con
venience of transportation, ns they border
on the Arkansas river, and the Little Rock
and Fort .Smith Railway passes through
Conway, Pope and Johnson, which is com
plclCil and in active operation as far a*
Ozark in Franklin county.
The population of these counties is abon
as follows:—Pope 10.000; Conwav 9,000; Y'ell
13.500, Johnson 10,000. They also possess
good educational facilities i» the way of
numerous
Schools—&—Academies.
The various Christian denominations are
well represented, and thoi e are also numer
ous lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows and
Good Templars, all in an active and flour
ishing condition. Tho u is also a live, wide
awake grange in almost every township.
