We are always pleased to receive just such letters as the following, and can commend its perusal to our readers, becauso it comes from a man of experience and great practi cal agricultural knowledge. Maj. R. A. Griffin, of Ninety-six, writes us as follows : "Your correspondent 'E.' asks, how an(d when to sow wlheat in cot ton land ? You secm to think your experienco too limited to assuro a truthful reply. I venturo to givo my miodus operandi, which has heretofore beon successful. Early in October, 1868, I made my first ex. poriment with this kind of work. All hands were put to work picking cotton, and closo behind them I fol lowed with turning plouglis, the bar side to the cotton stalks ; the wheat was then sowed broadcast, and at the same timo a good nianur ing of cotton seed was thrown broad cast from a wagon driven longthwise with the rows ; a one-horso culti vator was the run 0one time in each row. Fromi nino bushels of wheat thus sown on ton acros I reaped one hundred an( ninety bushels. Since that time I have sowi sevoral fields in thc, samio ialillor with satisfactory results. If the cotton rows are four f.et -,yide, I run a third furrow throuh the middle. Tho wheat and fortilizers will be massed in the oprn furrows, but you ned fear no injurious offects upon tho wheat, which should not be sown very thickly. "Last year I planted four acres in turnips in thirty inch drills, and failed entirely to got a stand. About the 20th October I ran a double footed-plough along the beds as in covering cotton ; this with a furrow in the alley loft three open furrows. I sowed the patch with five bushols of a largo variety of amber wheat, and covored by running a two-horso harrow lengthwise with the rows. The wheat camne up in three wvoll de fined drills and yielded one hundred bushels. "I agree with you in saying we sow wheat too late. I have always succeeded best even with the red spring variety, when sown betwveen the middle and tIhe last of October. When we postpone sowing to Novem ber or December the land is apt to be wvet, and wvill consequently be left in bad order after ploughing, and the wheat is covered too deeply, -which results in bad stands. I be lievo thlat fair land planted in co Lon, with an application of 150 pounds of fertilizers, if sown in wheat as above without additional manure, wvill make more than if postponed until thle last of November or first of December, and then receive an additional app)lication of 100 pounds of fertilizer. "I intend to commence sowing wheat about the 10th of October. In February after, I will run a two horse harrowi over the land to level the cotton beds so the crop can be out with a reaper. The hlarrow teals off the limbs from the cotton stalks, leaving tile stem8 to be knocked down by hand. "I am greatly discouraged by this year's farming operations. My oat crop failed. To sup)ply the deficiency I planted one hundred acres of bottom land in corn. This crop has had but one season since *thle 10thl of June. Consequently the corn is cut oft' badly, and my cotton is a clear miss. On my home plae the cotton crop is a little bot tor, though wheat is the only crop) that has yielded entisfactorily this ye\r At tile prpr time I p)lanted seven.pounds of ruta bagas, and1( no rain since, (now September 41,) hence another failure.' Tile dogs and rogues occasionally continue to depredate 01n my sheep, thlough occasionally I sell a few. The result of the vote on the fence law surpris-. os me. We carried the no-fen~co idea in this township, and I guess we can 'hold the fort.' Land owners alone should feel interested in this law, and-I have never heard a sensible argument against it fromn aniy one. Trhe nogroes woro led to the polls like sheep to the .Blangh ter, 4and voted invilably ang'aha $, )0 no-fence law."-Netos and CJou .LEoANT HAIR is WoMan's crown ing beauty. When it fades, sihe fades as well. Whilo it -is kept bright, her personal attractions are still maintained. By preserving the hair fresh and vigorous a youthful appearance is continued through many years. Thoso who grieve ovor their fading hair turning gray too early, should know that Ayor's Hair Vigor prevents it, and restores gray or faded hair to its natural color. It is a clear and healthful prepara tion, containing neither oil, dye, nor anything deleterious, and imparts to the scalp what is most needed-a senso of pleasant and delightful free d.n from scurf or dandruff.--New lerne (Ar C.) -nms.

They are mild, but effectual in their opera tion, moving the bowels surely and without pain. Although gen tle in.heir op eration, they are still the most thorough and search iug cathartic medicine that can be employed: cleansing the stomach and bowels, and even the blood. In small doses of one pill a day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vig orous health. AyR's PILLS have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have obtained a worl-wide reputation for their virtues. They correct dis eased action in the several assimila tive organs of the body, ani are so composed that obstructions within their range can rarely withstand or evade them. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also formidable and danger ous diseases that have ballied the best of human skill. While they produce powerful effects, they are, at the same time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and nevcr give pain when the bowels are not inflamed. They reach the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing It from the elements of weakness. Adapted to all ages and conditions In all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre serves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take; while being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.
