WlntatVgrowinf crop* and thow for
eattlng and feeding green, early in the
tpringt hare been quite folly diacaaaed
in recent nnmbcn. 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-

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.”

a rsousJTu several of the most impor-
ut Suites, East and West, as to the
fiicb* /of the canvass so tar as dcvel-
opeijf; and the prospects in each of the
es where this inquiry was made.
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.

Helena, Montana, August 2D. —
Governor Crosby states that tho spe
cial agent sent by him to inquire into the
condition of tho Piegan Indians found
that these Indians, about 2,000 in num
ber, are dying of starvation at the rate
of otic per day. The men and women
are gaunt and spiritless and the chil
dren are emaciated. They are all so
weakened by the lack of sufficient
food for the past two years that dread
ful suffering and many deaths must
occur shortly. The appropriation for
this year only permits the agent to
issue weekly two pounds of beef and
three pounds of flour, tho latter of bad
quality—an entirely inadequate allow
ance. The Governor reports an un
natural and inhuman state of things
existing, and calls upon the Sccretar;
of tho Interior to assume the respons’
bility of issuing full rations until

British
E. 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

the bombardment of Foo L’how was
seven killed and fourteen wounded.
The Chinese loss is estimated at 1,'XK)
killed and 3,000 wounded. The Chi
nese man-of-war Yangwu was explod
ed by a torpedo after it hail fired at a
French torpedo boat.
The boiler of the latter was exploded
by means of hand grenades thrown
from the Yangwu, after which the boat
was sunk by the Volta to prevent-its
being captured by the Chinese. The
French expected to occupy the heights
•commanding the pagoda anchorage.
It is reported that there are 7,t>00 Chi
nese troops in the vicinity of Foo
Chow. According to reports received
at Sontay, 80,000 Chinese troops have
invaded Tonquiu, and have already
had an engagement with the French
troops. In this battle it is asserted
that the French were annihilated,
while several thousand of the Chinese
were killed.

[Letter to the Baltimore Nun.]
New York, August 29.—Affetrs at
the Republican headquarters have been
in a generally bad condition for the last
three weeks, and, instead of growing
better, tho situation has day by day
gradually been growing worse. 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

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.

Shanghai, August 30. —‘All the
French have left Canton, and it is now
asserted that Admiral Courbet left Min
River with the intention of going to
Canton. The Chinese military com
manders everywhere have received
Imperial orders to attack all French
war ships and merchant vessels which

martial appointed for the trial of Brig
adier General Swaim, Judge Advo
cate General, and Colonel Morrow,
will meet in this city on the 15th oT
November next, instead ot September

fence will now have its own time, un
less the plaintiff's attorneys secure a
rule requiring an immediate answer.
In the latter case it is customary to
grant ten days further time.
