We hare endear- ored to impresa upon the reader the treat faluo of rye. It •land* the aerereet ©old, and i« therefore the •ureal crop; it will yield moreen the Mine quantity of laud thau any grain graaa we hare; it doea not require land at rich a* aome other cropg, but the richer the land the better it pays. A|1 winter eropt should be on rich land. If the reader has no very rich land, it ia difficult to make it rich sud denly. Stable mannhs should always be uaed in attempt* to enrich poor laud quickly. Where land la already in good condition,.oommercial fertilizers will make them yield well. But com mercial fertilizers will not by them selves produce largo yields on poor land; they must be combined with •table manure. The time has arrived when the crops alluded to should be started, in the middle and northern portions of the cotton belt, tiraasea, clover, income, rye, barley and oat* may ail be seeded down.' Graaa and clover are sown broadcast; lucerne, rye and barley, intended for catting and feeding green, should bo sowed in drills ilfteen to eighteen incites apart. Sown now, ample time is given for the voting C uts to become well rooted before bard freezes; and they a much less liable to be killed by drought the fol lowing summer than spring sown, be cause their roots will have had so much more time to descend deep into the soil. The preparation for a seed ing down of clover and grass may be summed up in a few words. Clean land, thoroughly pulverised, well JB&nUred.—thick seeding and very light brushing, followed by rolling. For the graaaea—ammoniated manures, like cotton seed meal, or the seed itself and Peruqian guano. For clover—ashen, bone dust, superphosphate or plaster. On stiff soils.sow common red clover; on high, sanely soils, the crimson clo ver, or California clover would be better. Both of the last named are annuals. For rye, the land should bo deeply broken and well pulverised; a good broadcasting of manure should bo plowed in snailow at one of the later plowing*; drills laid off with short •hovels eighteen inches apart, and a moderate quantity of manure put in the drill with the seed. A bushel and a half to two bushels of teed to the acre should be sown, and covered by brushing across the drills. Sow an acre for each cow and horse on the form. If one has some exceedingly rich lots, these may be sown in barley to fbrnlsh variety of food. Farmers so thoroughly recognize the mat value of the oat crop, Ft is use- mm to urge 1Uclaim upon them. They have learned to rely upon it as the cheapest and best food for work stock. The red rust-proof has pretty well rseded all other varieties, and in sown lu the fail on good land, constitutes one of the surest crops grown; certainly not more liable to l>c out off by winter freezing than the com crop is by summer droughts. / While good crops are often made by simply narrowing in the seed in the cotton fields during the preseut month, the prevailing opinion is in favor of plowing tbeunn, picking over the cot ton, then running a furrow as close as possible on each aide of the cotton, •owing seed and covering by plowing out the middles. In the nortoern parts of the cotton belt, this should be done by the first of October; in tho lower cotton belt, by the fifteenth or twcu- • tleth.' Borne winters they may bo •own still later, lyit as that cannot be known in advance, it is best to be on the safe side and sow early. If they should come forward too early, graze moderately before frost; but our ex- periece is, the less they are grazed in winter the better. Sow not less than two buebels per acre, on very rich land. Some sow four to five bushels, and we begin to hear of 140 bushels or upwards, per acre, being made under such conditions. In these cases, how ever, the measurements have not been made in a manner to satisfy every one. Oats may also be sown on corn and stubble land. It is not uncommon to grow two or three successive oat crops on the same land, sowing the seed and turning them under with tho weeds and stubble. Cotton seed and phos phate—twenty-five bushels of the former to one hundred pounds of the latter, is excellent manure for the crop, plowed in with tho oats. The cotton seed roust be killed when used at these carl) sowings, else they will come up and contribute little to the grown of the oats. Remember it was stated In a recent number, that oats sown in drills withstood the cold better than those sown broadcast. Coming up in a shallow trench, they are protected from the cold winds by the intervening ridges; and the ndus settle them bet ter after freezes, and wash down soil from the ridges to cover their roots still deeper. They are easily drilled by running furrows as near each other as can be done without the dirt from one frtrrow filling the other, sowing seed and manure broadcast, then brush ing lightly across the rows. Where the land will admit of the rows run ning north and south or southwest and northeast without danger of washing, it is better, as the cold winds come from the west and northwest. Preparation of laud for wheat, if not already under way, should be^n at onee. High, dry knolls, rather want ing In vegetable matter, are best adapt- M to wheat. It^is a mooted point whether the land should be broken , venr deep. If broken ooep, it absorbs and retains more moisture in the spring, which is unfavorable to a wheat crop. The land, however, mast ‘ be thoroughly pulverized to the depth of those or four inches; this is essen- 7 tkl. The plowing should be done ^ whuff the ground is rtfther dir, us u _be seearsa when wet. The maours should •u peatediy. It is equally essential that the land be rich. Phosphates seem to be especially demanded by the turnip, but it needs also potassic and nitroge nous manures; and all of them must bo readily available, as tho turnip has to complete its growth in a very short time. It is betfor to sow in drills and cultivate, especially the late crops. Dust the plant with ashes just as soon as they begin to appear above the nur- face, and again after a few days it the beetle is troublesome. ,■ Cotton picking will engage much of the fiurtner’s attention duripg Septem ber. It is hardly necessary for us to remind the reader of the importance of keeping up well with the cotton as it opens—getting it in before the rains have soiled and injured the fibre. We were exceedingly skeptical as to the ]>08sibility of inventing a good cotton { ticker; but from examining one of the ittle arms of the South Carolina cotton nicker, and the accounts which have been given us by reliable parties, we arc encouraged to think that such a machine is practicable. If perfected as we hope it will be, this machine will do away with the difficulty of keeping up with tire cotton as it opens—its capacity being estimated at from three hundred to six hundred pounds t>cr hour; and one machine could readily pick out the crops of several small tanners. The young farmer is not api to appreciate fullv the importance of sunning cotton which is either from dew or rain. The manner in which cotton is ginned will often make half a cent difference in the price at which it can be sold. And damp cotton can never bo ginned well; the fibres will stick together and leave tho gin in little knots, or “knaps,” which interfere much in its subsequent working up into thread. All damp cotton ought there fore, to 1)0 sunned before it is put away in bulk. A good rule Is to sun in the afternoon all that is picked in the forenoon. Putting cotton in bulk and allowing a very slight heating, rather improves the quality of the lint; and nice planters in oklon times were accustonsed to pack away their cotton so as to secure this impovement of the fibre. But since the war it is a danger ous practice to keep large quantities of unginned cotton in bulk—fires arc too numerous. The better plan is to gin as fast as picked. When packed it can be sold at once, or stored in fire-proof warehouses, or scattered here and there about the farm so that all could not be burned up at once. It is customary to save seed trom tho second picking, or middle crop. This is well, because both the first and last crop of bolls are liable to be defective —the seed being not perfectly matured. Tho cotton from which seed is to be saved ought to bo very carefully sun ned, that uo heating and consequent injurj' to the germ may occur. It would be well indeed to gin such cotton soon after it U picked, ami sun the seed themselves before thev are stored away. Attention has hitherto been directed mainly to establishing short-limbed, prolific varieties. This, of course, is a matter of prime impor- tance; but it is equally, and in the northern portions of the cotton belt still more desirable, to produce along with this an early variety—one that will secure something of a crop before the droughts of summer or the frosts of autumn, in tho high and northern portions of the cotton region. By se lecting from each field tho stalks which combine these characteristics—early in maturing as well as prolific in bearing —planting the seed from these bv themselves, and selecting again year after year, we doubt not that in a com paratively short time such a variety as the one indicated might bo estab lished. —- . We are glad to see thaLattention is quite strongly turned to Uie improve ment of tho seed of grains, as well as ot cotton. Now is the time to pass over tiic corn fields and mark the stalks which have tho points regarded desirable. If tho selection is made from the crib, nothing is known of the stalk to which it belonged, or ot the circumstances under which It grew. It is doubtful, wo think, whether any variety which bears more than two ears to the stalk will succeed well at the South. It is desirable to establish a variety which does produce a very large stalk, but bears one or two good ears. Selections from our ordinary acclimated varieties promise the l>cst results. The character of the grain iff also an important matter. For gen eral purposes, a medium between the short flinty, and the large starchy, soft grains, is most desirable. When the weevil is very troublesome, the flinty varieties are preterablc- BEECUEK ON CLEVELAND. He Uellevea Him to be an Anfel of Llicbt When Compared to Ulaine. Nkw Yoke, August 26.—General Horatio C. King, who went to Buffalo to investigate the Marie llalpiu scan dal, called at the National Democratic headquarters with an additional state ment yesterday. The General had had another interview with Mr. Beecher, whom ho represented as saying: “I have waited for the confirmation of the stories about Governor Cleve land, detailing what he did when he was a good deal younger thau he is to day, and all the gross exaggerations that have been made by his enemies since, and the statement of gentlemen with whom I am acquainted, and whose character I well know, satisfies m> mind that tho Governor has been sub jected to gross and outrageous misrep resentation. While I forbore and waited uutil I had adequate light. I am satisfied now that Cleveland is the proper man for President. In view of Mr. Blaine’s public and political con duct, Cleveland is an augel of light. How any man can vote for Blaine be cause of a conscientious scruple that prevents him from voting for Cleveland on the ground of morafltv, passes my oomprehensiou. I regard Blaine as one of the most corrupt men in pcosin- iary affairs we have ever had iu our f government. What part I shall take n the advocacy of Mr. Cleveland ean tell better after my return dty.” — Further, General King says that Mr. Beecher hopes to see Cleveland elected by sc big a majority as “to terrorize any man like Blaine from being so foolhardy as to raufor President for the next fifty years.” : ffBOKlSB aw A TIDAL WaV* CLKVJELAXD.

Tl>e replies we receive surprise us as much as they gratify us. From Ohio wc hear that the Demo crats are fairly certain of success. While they arc united and meeting everywhere with promising results, the Blaine managers fuel the effects of a cold wind of popular disfavor. The Democrats do not boast that they will carry the State in October; but they believe they have an excellent promise of victory, and if the Republicans carry Ohio it will be by so Harrow a vote as to make it substantially a de feat foi'ttlynn. Some of our correspon dents give such an analysis of the vote as make the prospect of a Democratic victory in Ohio in October much stronger than we have stated them above. Concerning Indiana, wc have the most positive assurance tiiat the Stale will certainly go for Cleveland by at least ten thousand. In both Ohio and Indiana the number of Republicans who will vote against Blaine is found to be astonishingly large, and sufficient in itself to turn the scale in those States. Our reports show also that there is nowhere any considerable or marked defection froin the Democratic ranks, although both in Ohio and In diana the Blaine people are reported to be courting and seeking the Irish vote. From Michigan wo get confident re ports that that State will be lost to the Blaine ticket. Iowa, our private cor respondent shows, is at least an uncer tain State, with the probability that it will cast its electoral vote for Cleve land. There, too, great numbers of Republicans are going to vote for Cleveland, and the condition of par ties is such as to make tho State this year probably Democratic. In Wis consin the opposition to the Blanc ticket believe they will carry the State and defeat Blaine and Logan, and there are Blaine men who privately admit this to be very probable. From all over New England reports reach us which show a state of politics very dangerous to the Blaine men. There are sanguine but well informed men in Massachusetts who assert even that with faithful hard woi^c that State can be carried for Governor Cleveland, and thev add that the effort will be made. From New Hampshire Demo crats write that they can carry the State, unless the Portsmouth Navy Yard swamps them. But they are conscious* that they have a strong an tagonist in Secretary Chandler. Ver mont, we are assured, will cast a very greatly reduced Republican majority in November, though in the September election tor Governor the Republican candidate, who i\ a popular man, is likely to poll the full votcot his party. Connecticut lias been regarded us a doubtful State, with the chances in favor of the Democrats now and a strong set of the tide toward them. In answer to numerous inquiries from other parts of the country wc will add that New York and New Jer sey appear to be safe for Cleveland. The canvass in both States goes on energetically, and the reports at head quarters leave so little doubt of a favorable result that these two States need not give uneasiness to Democrats elsewhere or distract their attention from their own localities. New York is well in hand, and those who are managing here for the Democratic party arc confident that they will show a good result in November. A survey of the field at this moment yives promise of a “tidal wave” in November against the Blaine ticket. From all quarters reports comes to us of very large and increasing Republi can opposition to the Blaine ticket and much smaller defection from the Dem ocratic ranks than was at one time feared. There is, according to our reports, a spirit and determination this fall among the voters everywhere which promise very important results —a determination to “make a change” and to see whether the people still control or whether tho “machine” politicians really have tho country by the throat. A correspondent from Illi nois writes us: “If people in the East could sec what a revolution is going on in this State alid in Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, the friends of Cleveland everywhere would be great ly encouraged.” One of the phenomena of the can vass, according to all the reports we receive, is the lukewarm way in which Blaine Republicans are acting. They “will vote for Blaine, but will not work for him,” they say; and this lack of enthusiastic support is sure to tell on tho canvass.

The men and women are gaunt and spiritless and the chil dren are emaciated.

B. Johnston, who was called in to attend the sufferers, returned this after noon and reports three cases desperate,' one in delirium and one so low that death is expected at any time. The history of the cases is that a dog on Doughtie’s place went madoo July 2.5, and bit a mule and several hogs. The first hog died on August 13 and was given to the negroes on tho place to make soap grease. Instead of doing so they ate it. On August 18 two hogs died, one on the 22d and one on tho 27th. Of these hogs thirty-two people ato Eleven days after eating of the first hog ten persons were taken violently sick with symtoms of poison, and the others were seized in rotation just according to the time at which the subsequent hogs were eaten uutil Uie cuaire thirty-two people were at tack e#. The mule first bitten made a ferocious attack on Mr. Doughtie on Saturday last. After biting the animal lie was riding, and Doughtie dismounting, he had a race for life witli the mad beast ami only escaped by the narrowest chance, the mule running against ft fence post in his wild charge and being knocked senseless, just as Mr Dough tie was scaliim the fence. The mule was shot and killed by Mr. Doughtie afterwards. The mule bitten by this animal has not shown any indication of hydrophobia yet, but presents every indication of poison, and the doctor says that the animal cannot live. Two days ago another dog was attacked with rabies and killed, but not before biting a small dog on the lot, which is now housed and will be treated exper imentally for a cure. Tho greatest terror exists throughout l he entire beat on account of the fact that the first dog is still at large among the cattle and hogs. Dr. Johnston, who is an able physi cian, says that tic would not be sur prised if the majority of the thirty people attacked should succumb to the disease, as-the premonitory symptoms are of tho most dangerous character. The medical fraternity are greatly in terested over the development of the cases. The people generally are excit ed and the victims and their families are torror-strickeu. A community hunt has been proposed for the pur suit and capture of the mad dog now at large. Elvalla, Ala., August 2D.—There are five additional hydrophobia pa tients to-day, making a total of fifteen out of thirty-two who ate of the dead hogs bitten bv mad dogs. Mr. Punch Dougherty, on whose place the sick people arc living, five miles from here, was in the city to-day, and was sur rounded by eager crowds to listen to his graphic description of his flight and escape from the attack of a mad mule, lie says that mule Ney 2, which was bitteu by the animal he had to kill, presents a ghastly spectacle. Its wound has produced a sudden and wonderful emaciation. As yet the mule has betrayed no symptoms of madness, but it is kept apart from the other stock, and tho progress of the poison is carefully watched and noted by medical men. The same iuterest is also taken in the case ot a small dog which has been bitten. ‘The peculiari ties ot the hogs that were bitten, of which there are five and all Berkshire?, are frothing al the month, blind stag . gers, fits, final collapse and dea^ u< The plantation is visited by crowd « 0 f curious neighbors, black and w^itc to sec their suffering fellows.

At the present time everything pertaining to the canvass is in a general muddle. From all accounts the managers of the concern don’t appear to know what to do to extricate the canvass from the difficulties which impede its vigorous prosecution. The immediate effect ot this condition of affairs is to enfeeble the pariy organization throughout the country, and at a time when there is a general tendency iu the party ranks towards disorganization. Already com plaints have poured in to the head quarters from all sections of the coun try, and the prominent Blaine leaders in States like Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois,_havc repeatedly warned the committee tlmt, unless something was -done at once it would be useless to hope that their States would lig carried for Blaine in November. But so far the repeated warnings Have not been heeded, or at least have not effected a remedey. The result of tliis has been that the men who have written end obtained no satisfaction have in umnyinstanccscomc to this city to plead their case iu person and to try to 'open the eyes of Blaine’s chief fuglg- meii to the dangers threatening the Republican ticket in their respective States. Many of these men have been here during the past week, but from all accounts have received but little if any satisfaction. Some of them have been sent away with the hope that their demands would be complied with in a sltort time; others have been completely disgusted with what they characterize as the stupidity and im becility of the men in charge of the national canvas. On Thursday I had a long conversation with a gentleman from Ohio, who had come here on matters connected with the Republican canvass in his Slate. He would not say much directly concerning the situa tion in Ohio from his point of view, but be wo? very emphatic in denounc ing the manner in which the canvass was managed, and the way the leaders were treated and their just demands disregarded. Among other tilings he said: “The man who is really manag ing the cauvass is Steve Elkins, yet it is almost impossible to find him on an average of six days out of the scveiij and on the seventh he is so occupiou making up for lost time that it is lor g than an even chnpcc that those having pressing ami important busines ^an see him. lie goes away, no one '^nows where, at least no one will t e i) an j then all business has to bo ’transacted with Chairman Jones, biu. this is worse than seeing nobody.

I tell you if something is not dono with that committee soon our ticket will go to the dogs.” This is only a mild sample of the many complaints which have been made within the lust ten days. It is openly said that the Blaine managers are neglecting the canvass in every State in order to give its exclusive attention to Maine. It is also charged that all the money so far collected in this campaign has, by direct orders from Blaine, been sent to his (State, where he desires to roll up a phenom enal majority as an impetus to a more vigorous prosecution of the canvass late in September. This has left the party in Ohio and Indiana poverty stricken and totally without funds with which to open the campaign. of the Graoly co^ifes ofwhich «yF$s fonmrded those who are monuoned therein: “We. the survivors of the htetj Franklin Bay expedition, deaire to publicly thank the officers aud crew of the relief ships for their nntiring snor- gy in reaching ns and their kindness Msf' ■ ■ '-* ** ~ < * - BVKWHA IXPKOTffD > we wore saved.
