BEGGAB WEED, OR DESMODIUM. For several years past a new forage plant has been attracting the attention of farmers in certain di-tiats of1 Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, aud all who have put it to the test of culture aro loud in its praise as a most valuable acquisition. Origiually it was known for common as ' Beggar's Lice," but some who do not seem to regard the last word in the na.inc as standing cutircly in keeping with the refinement and modesty of the ace, have dropped it aud substituted "Weed;" thcroforc the plant now usually goes by the common name of either "Beggar's Lice" or Beggar Weed." The plant under consideration is a I)esviodium, and hence Desmodium is the name by which it ought to be known for common. Of course, I need net argue the nnint ns to wiiv Tk/? * 4 .. j A MV WUIUIVjll llUUlt'b most j generally applied arc men n i rtglcss a ml* ridiculous in the extreme, while Dcsmodiuui is tho correct scientific nauic, the generic name by which it is known tp--?eicn^ific pooplo throughout the cirHitoi( worii Then, it mcaus something, being formed from the Greek signifying "bound," which refers to tho manner in which the seeds are bouud together. There are at least tweuly species of Dosmodium native to the Southern United States. They class with the Lrguminonsc. and all arc more or less valuable as feed for stock. The species under cultivation, as already meutioned, is kuown tobotauists as Dcsmoilium motle, a name given to it by De Condollc. It is indigenous to Middle Florida, but seems to succeed very well in any of the adjacent Slates. Dr. Chapman describes it in his "Flora of the Southern States" as follows : "Stem tall, much branched, softly pubcrcent; leaflets rhombic or-elliptical, obtuse and oftcu omargiuate, tomeulosc beneath, rough above ; racemes paniclcd, slender ; flowers, two or three together, on slender pedicles ; legume nearly sessile, black ; the small joints oval or rhombic, equally connex on both sutures. Stem three to five feet high. Leaflets three to four inches long. Legume oue iuch long, pendulous." Rendered into plain farm talk this would mean that the plant grows to from three to five feet in height, taking upon itself a i 1.:? i. umubuiug ui uuuuuiog naoit something like that of the cottou plant. It is covered with soft, downy hairs. The leaflets arc oval Qr oblong, rather blunt at the extremity and notched; they arc downy beneath and rough above. Flowers three or four together in loose bunches. Seeds, blackish, ; hanging in a string, jointed together, but easy of separation. They are somewhat half tnoon shapod. and. being covered with sharp hooks, they readily attach themselves to one's clothes and become separated from each other or from the parent plant, &c. I speak with confidence as to the species of Dcsmodiuui under cultivation iu consequence of the fact that I have been studying it carefully for several years. Jioth plants and seeds have boon Bout to me for identification from Florida, Georgia and Alabama, by persons cultivating it as a forage crop, and in every instance I have readily recognized the specimens as Dcamoilium molle. Some writers have mentioned tho "Beggar Weed" as DennotUum cat.cxceus, but this was, I am satisfied, an entire mistake, for Canescens, ono of our most common species, would not be at all suited for cultivation. periunce with the crop, though I am rather of thu opinion that it is decidedly worthy if cultivation. It is closely related to the clovers, and may be correctly reckoned as ono ol the "air-feeders." This being the case, it would, in all probability, be a valuable crop to turn under for the purpose of enriching the soil. I know it will grow f|uitc well on soil comparatively thin. For feeding to stock green it is excellent, and, under proper management, it is said to yield a splendid dry food or hay. If sown for ?l.:- i ? hum iast named purpose it should be put in quite thick, else the stalks will grow too coarse aud woody to answer well as hay. ??- - -Tomatoes ait Uiiatim.?

F. Dawson," dated at Wash- on ington, requesting hiui to make a "voluii- no tary" contribution for the benefit of the w campaign fund of the great party of moral ideas. Tho document earnestly besought the Postmaster's assistance in electing Garfield and Arthur who seeui to have, settled down fo busf^ess, -and g<inc to trorlf at col- oi looting witn comtnfcndablfe promptness. It appealed for aid on the ground that the riuciplcs and Jntgrest" (probably a misjlrinl for princip?/ and interest, or possibly a pun) of the party supplicated to, required the continuance of tho Kepubli.cau party in power, and that money was necessary to ac- 111 couiplish that end; nud contained an inti- ci m.ation that that commodity was at present ?l subject to "scarceness." P1 The Postmaster cocitnted over thia evi donee of civil service reform in process of practical operation; and proceeded to remit in a letter of which the following is tin oat-* act copy; i "-T? -5?2, 1380. "/Ton. Geo. F. Dawson, Washington, D. C : "Sir?Your circular has been received, and it* compliance with the request therein contained, I herewith enclose $10 in Confederate currency as my voluntary contribution for the success of the Republican (enmpaign) Presidential, with which neither "my principles or interest arc involved." y The money represents a lost causo, and may not bo good. If so, its no fault of mine, (as I worked four years to make it good.) y and it is more than probable the cause for 8! which it is now sent will also be lost. "Yours, &o., it ? This contribution will probably puzzle b: the Hon. Geo. F. Dawson somewhat. The Northern voter or orator requires good, solid currency, of a live issue, in return for bl his services on living issues, and this ghost of a dead one will secure neither ballots nor voices. He cannot dismiss the remitting official, because he is a remitting official, and therefore, within the pale of Republican 1,1 party law. Under the memorable rule laid down as the foundation of tho principles and Cl power of that pnrty, there is to bo no going behind the face of the return, and the post- 0 master lias certaiuly returned what is 810 on its face.

Aw Important Lesson from the ri Past.?There are lauds in some sections so ci largely composed of the miucral elements a: required by wheat, that many years ot con- h tinucd cropping will hardly show detcriora- ti tion when the inorganic matter furnished 2 by clovor alternately grown is supplied; but deterioration will in time surely follow.? There is no soil that has proved more cn[ during for wheat than a calcareous clay J lonui of alluvial formation. Such is the .' character of a large portion of western . New York, aad yet the alternate croppiugs . with wheat and clover has in past years resulted iu exhaustion of the mineral *? properties of the soil. To relate my owu ' experience will corroborate this fact.? My farm is a heavy limestone soil, under- . laid with lime-rock; the soil being from one to ten feet iu depth. From the early cultivation of the land, which was about 1820, up to 183G, winter wheat was grown con- P tiuuously, without clover or any fertilizer , except the little manure made in the barn- ' yard which was only drawn on the land U> get it out of the way around the barn. Ajoutthis period, from 1835 to 1837, there appeared to lie a general failure of the crop. From that time we began to sow clover to enrich our lands, and with great ^ | success. x tie system 01 wheat aud clover ',j, | in alternate years was followed, and with | such abundant crops tiiat wo thought it ^ could never fall; but after following the | system some ten years our wheat became j. less fair and pluuip, and while the growth u of straw was iu most cases increased, the yield ot graiu was less. The clover also began to fail and it was difficult to get a good seeding. We continued on iu the {| same course of wheat and summer-fallow till 1854 and '55, when wc met a total fail- ^ ure. Still having an abundant growth of (| straw, the straw becamo weak, so tiiat it g would fall down before the graiu was ripened, and the grain would bo shrunken. *( Wc attributed the failure to an insect, but it g< was the unhealthy condition of the crop u! that invited the insect, or that made its de- ' struction possible. The speciality of wheat' growing was from this time discontinued, | aud a inoro rational system of mixed bus- w bandry adopted. ti A few years later the use of mineral for- it tilizers was found to bo necessary to restore our lauds to their former productiveness, c; aud now so common lias the uso of such c fertilizers become that but little grain is sown without tliuir and the average.V'"hl ??. oi wncat in rtic prfsc trircc years TiasTteen ffrcatcr lluin in mm i;t.? I :- -1 0 ... ...,j Iiaiii JIUI IUU 111 ItlU pre- t viiius quarter of a century, and fully up to u the average of earlier times, when we stood u number one as a when'-growing section.? ti All productive soils contain a given quantity of elements of plant-food, and all grain J crops carry away a portion of these elements, and if not restored there must be deterio- f ration by constant cropping, and while elo- a vcr is largely beneficial in bringing the d crude elements into a condition available to h the wheat crop, it cannot restore what is d carried away by it. If either of the elements of nlantfood is --- not bo n perfect crop grown, and it in the si true policy of the farmer to restore annually to his soil the elcmcuts nee led which his crop carries away. F P. liooT. ir Monroe County, N. Y. No Fkar off A Scrplus.?The World's markets are at our feet. Tho fear that we may produce more than ean be disposed of, is a bug bear and a phantom, it has been eon- J clusively shown, that at a certain price, we can control all the European markets, and that this price, while it pays us fairly, is 4, too small for u profit to the European farm- w ers, who have to pay largo rents, heavy taxes, employ expensive labor, and uso costly fertilizers. w ir What State of tho American Union is fr high in the middle and round at both suds? w O-hi-o.

'here arc few planters in South Carolina ho have not been told of the finest cotton inds in the world?tho swamp lands on oth sides of the Mississippi River below lemphis. At the breaking out of the war fro cleared lands of that section yielded, on prncrnt urcrrngc, <MM> pounds <aV 11 nt cutttru o the acre, and the planter, in summing up he yield of his plantation, always spoke f making from eight to ton bales to the aud, aud he who did not manage to gather t least eight bales to the haud was regarded s a poor planter and unsuitcd to tho occuat ion of planting. At tho annual meeting f the Mississippi Valley Cotton Planters' uisociation, held at Vicksburg a week or ) ago, General Moorehead, tho President f tho Association, himself a planter in the uce rich and fertile County of Washington, tated that '-the present average yield does ot exceed three hundred pounds, and probbly (wo hundred and Jiftj/y or even two undred pounds, would better represent it." 'hose lauds which once grew cotton ten feet igh and which were supposed to be inexuustiblc, it will be seen from Gen. More cad'e statement, havo deteriorated thrcc>urtlis in twenty years. To the loose iet hod of planting, the disorganized labor /stem, "since freedom couie out/' and the eglect of the planter to feed his lauds, iking all off and putting nothing buck, can liis state of affairs be traceable.

It is thou put uto a large cahlroil and bitiled, which exacts all tho glutinous matter ftnd rosin, irtd renders it soft. It is then put on a urge stone griuder, with water pouring on t all the time. The grindstone wears off he fibers until thoy ore finer thau sawdust, which float away into a receptacle. The water is drained off by means of a fine sieve, eaviDg the pulp, which consists of a fine fuzz or splinters of wood. It is white, and requires no bleaching, but is ready to be mixed with rag pulp or anything elso that has a strong fiber, receiving the proper constituents to make into paste, after which it is run off into paper sheets; whereas rags have to be washed and bleached with chloride of Huie^ soda, ash and alum, and such strong chemicals, to take out tho color.? Then they arc picked to pioces and made into pulp. The process by which wood Eulp is made is purely mechanical. It cau e made cheap?say at about ono cent a pound. Opi NION OF A CnUROll.?Tho Rnfnrmnd l'resbjtcrian Synod of America, now in session in Philadelphia, makes tho following utternncos officially : "Never was infidelity more bold or blatant. Newspapers are published professedly in the cause of infidelity. New books are written and old books reprinted, and lecturers go from city to city and town to town in tho interests of the same unholy cause. And when an infidel lecturer of note appears in any of our cities, largo audiences, paying high prices Tor admission, orowd tho hulls and hail with ipplausc tho most profane and blasphemous utterances of tho speaker. Closely allied with infidelity, and manifesting itself with no less boldness in this nation and those of Europe, is Communism. Here it declares war against capital and seeks to put fetters upon labor. Especially on tho Pucific coast lias it been most rampant; and so loudly has it clamored, 'The Chincso must- go !' that ft candidate for the Chief Magistracy of this nation has taken up the cry and echoed it within the walls of tho cnpitol." The Syuod advise fusting and prayer to counteract these ndverso influences. USEFUL MEMORANDA. Morning's uiilk is richer than that of evening. Wood1 ashes form a good lyc for softening water. Green bay leaves allay tho inflammation ot bee stings. Old clot lies should be saved to weave into door mats. Apple pips impart a fine flavor to tarts and dumplings. All linen pieces should bo saved and kept for domestic uses. Kettles and stew pans should be washed outside as well as iosidc. Soapsuds and soapy tvutor supply lliO manure for garden soils. InnvM in umall nunnliiioa makfl an excellent addition to toa. Lemon juice will allay the irritation caused by gnats and flics. Au oyster shell put into a tea kc'tle will prevent its becoming furred. Cold green tea, well sweetened and put into raucers, will destroy flies. Kill Your Sheep Young.?There arc few animals kept on the farm which, when they arc in their prime, pny ns well as sheep, and there arc very few, if any others, upou whom old ago has such dumaging effect.? As the sheep is mue|i shorter lived than any other of our domestic animals, it is not strange that many farmers attempt to keep thcin too long. At ten years of age the horse is just in his primo, and the cow is as good as ever, with the prospect of remaining so several years longer. Hut the sheep is very old when it reaches the ago of ten, the natural limit of tho term of its iito.? After reaching this ago sheep arc very likely to bo injured by the slight exposures which do younger animals no harm. They are more liable to be attacked by disease, aud if they live they will be likely to produce less wool and smaller lambs than tbey have d me previously. SVe do not thiuk it pays, except perhaps in special instances, to keep sheep after they ore six years old. American Cultivator. NOTICE " To Tourists and Health Seekers.
