THOUGHTS FOB THE MONTH. t
Any one, who expects to farm successful- f
ly the present yoar, must be ready to push s
work vigorously now. The blacksmith's 1
motto is, striko when the iron is hot?tho i
farmer's should be, plough whenever the g
ground is dry?and only then. If land has q
dot becu broken heretofore, lay off rows nud g
bed up now, with a view to reversing beds
beforo planting time. If this provisional
:bcdding in advance was universally adopted, c
it would prevent the formation of mauy a t
gully. Defects in layiag off rows could
readily be discovered aud remedied whilst re- ^
> boddiog. But if rjrtbiaro permanently laid
it first, and manure put indefects are j
I uvi?> wiiwnu igBiu Uiubjfunr, HUU, Py LUC j.
lend of the season, a permanent wash ia cs- ^
Itablishcd. The proper time foirrebedding
determined by the nature .of soil?if very
light and sandy, it is best to do the work
|ome timo in odvanoe of plaating, to allow .
;1 "settling" and compacting of the soil? .
f ifherwise the surface dries off so rapidly, ^
Hi beoomcs vory difficult to obtain a "gtand/'
Articularly of cotton. If the land is "stitf," *'
Bis better to delay the operation longer.
PUTTING IN MANUBE. ;
This, of course, ought to be done whilst .
ftodding. By plowing out the water fur- *
qf the first be$*?ry deep, 'the manure ,
5^ JPy be put in very cleep also, if deSlWd.4- .a
e^The proper depth is to be detertniued^by ^
circumstances. In day lands, where both ^
the soil and olimate are unfavorable to early
maturity of cotton, it is best to put manure ^
in rather shallow, say 3 or 4 inches below ^
the surface. Bat where there is no difficult .
ty about the crop maturing*,^ the land is
broken deep, it is well to put the fertiliser ^
is still deeper, as thqbrop istben less liable ^
to be "burned up" by it? WWbere it is/put
' in deep, however, a small portion ought to ^
bo deposited witji the seed when plantod" to | ^
push the crop forward at onoe. It is an ex- ^
oellcnt plan to distribute ananuro, cover with
to diffuse tbq adjacent
soil. Commerciftt fertilSl^,?ny,be put in
last, their Bmalt'^lfc requiring little water ?
. to wet them thoroughly#- There" is ogt we
much danger of l6aohing,<*?xcept in casgpf P'

also to highly niliuioniuted manures, for tbM"0

SPRINO OATS.
If fall sewn oats havo been killed out by I
-oold, sow over again ; or, if you did not soir 11
enough then, pat in more now. Don't sow jl
spring oats on poor land?unless you are a
^ ' willing to manure them well. A good ap- it

suit tho want* of cotton, not grain. Pern
^ van guano and cotton -seed are much better ?
adapted to the latter. . |
CLOVER AND GRABS. ]
From the 15th February to the 15th i
March is the proper time to sow cloror and '
winter grasses, whether Upon small grain or
by tbomselve* We repeat advice often
given, sow a plenty of seed?clover 15 lbs.
por acre, Orohard grass, two bushels, Herds
nod Blue grass, ono bushel each. Clover'
and orohard grass make a good combination,
* ns they arc ready to mow at same time.?

' '
it tho South, by thiuniug out pines in old
ields, whcro tho soil is naturally strong aud I
>tiff, burying off, sowiug seed aud lightly '
larrowing .them in. It uiay be done either
n spring or fall. None of the cultivated
jrasses grow well on poor land?they rc|uiro
a soil as rich ns that required to make
;ood wheat.
BERMUDA GRASS.

this grass, we devote a paragraph

A NIGHT ON THE BORDER.
St. Joseph, Mo., January 25??Philip
(Vines intended to elope from his home near
(Vlbany, in this State, a few days ago, deicrting
his wife and going away with her
lifter. Neighbors learned of what ho was
ibout to do. and at night surrounded his
louse for the purpose of taking him out
md coating him with tar and feathers.?
fheir rough usage had not progressed far,
lowever, before Mrs. Ames besought them
o stop, and, in conseijucuce of her cntreaies,
they spared him j but, before releasing
litu they warned him that any further uiisichavior
on his part would bring on hiui

Auies was infuriated by this experience,
'athcr than subdued. Soon after the do
larturc of the mob, he went to n room
vlicro his wife was praying, knocked her
lown, dragged her out of doors, and heat her
0 death. Then the sister, who had hidden
icrsclf in a barn during the presence of the
leighbors, returned to the house, llow she
ras affected by the murder is not known; but
t is certain that it did not turn her against*
kmes. They did not abandon the idea of
lopemcnt. Two horses were saddled, and
s much of their portable property as could
e packed iu traveling bags was got togctlir.
The body of the dead wife was laid
cross 0110 horse's back, and the sister niouncd
the other, the first horse being led by
tines. Thus they went about a mile to a
ivcr, which was frozen over. Ames cut a
lolc through the ice, and threw the body
uto the water. Doubtless he supposed that,
dicn iu the morning the disappearance
f the family was observed, tho belief
rould be that all had quit the ucighborood
together. That result was prevented
y the fact that a young uian saw what was
one at the river, and immediately aroused
>10 men who had formed the first mob.
Auies and his sister-in-law mounted the
orsos and rode away, not knowiug that
ney had been watched. It was then near1
daylight; hut they had spcut time enough
a hiding the body to give the mob a chance,
a lbrui anew. They were overtaken aud
apturtfd. Ames was promptly hanged to
tree. The woman was delivered to the
hariff of^thq-ixmnty. . ?.
A remarkable story of accumulating disstor
is told in the New Voik papers,-which
ccord tlie death, at the asylum for the inline
at Poughkoepsic, of James II. Eluiore,
t one time a wealthy merchant and a wcllnowu
and successful operator in oil. He
as engaged in business iu New York, but
t the outbreak of the oil excitement beanie
interested in the celebrated Noble
rcll, whioh brought him an easy fortune,
nd he retired about ten years ago, with a
uartcr of a million dollars, and established
imsilf in a luxurious country scat on Loner
sland. Disastrous speculations, including
lie huildiug of a horse railroad on Long
sland, led to a long series of law suits, in
rhich Kluinro's property was gradually oat11
up. He himself was stricken with parlysis;
his daughter died, and on the unouneenieut
of un adverse decision in an
inportant suit, his wife dropped dead upon
be floor before him. The property had
>elonged to her, and as she left no will, Elnorc's
life interest in the estate was sold,
rith all personal chattels, to satisfy judglcnts,
and lie and his two sons were cast
ut upon the world homeless and penniless.
