By H. Pnryear IjI>. I)., Pofessor of Chemistry in Kiehmond Colic;;**. American Farmer. Cheap and rapid transportation fiom tlio fertile prairies of the West to our Atlantic seahonl has made the cultivation of wheat less remunerative of late than formerly. Nevertheless our proximity to market is a great ad vantage, and wo should strain it to the utmost in the furtherance of our inter ests. Besides the necessity of wheat in any good scheme rotation, and its subsidiary value in the setting our Held in the grasses, still render the ! cultivation of wheat—the noblest of cereals—a matter of prime importance to the farmers of Virginia and Mary land. Wo shall give a short article; therefore, on the cultivation of wheat, believing that our farmers are some what discouraged and that by proper energy and skill, the crop is yet fair ly remunerative. The first tiling wo inyve to say is this; Ifland, intended for seeding to wheat in the fall, is now idle, let it lie plowed in July* and August and as deeply as the s<rii will admit. We do not believe that the land shoud be refallowed. Before thy fallowing is done, clean the land as thoroughly as possible, of rocks, roots, stumps and briars, etc. With abundant time for fallowing, lot it be done only when the ground is in good order and a thor ough job accomplished. Wo shall assume, Ihert, that the land has been >vell plowed, that the turf and other vegetation are turned under in July, August and September. Will not refallowing ho necessary to destroy the weeds and grass that will spring up before October? We an swer that such vegetation should be destroyed and tho haul should be clean at seeding time, but that this should not he accomplished by refal lowing. By refallowing the buried vegetation is brought again to the sur face,and the products of its decomposi tion are largely* lost. Instead of refal lowing, let the land he harrowed and cross harrowed as often as necessary, £o destroy the young vegetation. The land will thus he kept clean and fine ly' pulverized, to the depth of four or five inches, until seeding time, whil It becomes compact below. Whea hi. Thelbiiriei 1 Tr our move havo been onliged to do the best We lti; could for this issue, advertisement of the Augusta Savings Bank, an institution justly very* popu lar in this County* will receive atten tion next week, with an appropriate notice accompanying the same. thy nit rates as the chief sources of ni trogen. Wheat needs these fertilizers, but not specially. It needs them only as all other crops need them. Whether ainmoniacnl preparations or nPrie acid compounds shall be ap plied depends on circumstances of which farmers can judge, or ought to be capable of judging. When a heavy sod or a heavy* crop of peas is turned under, vegetable decomposition will j furnish all the ammonia which the crop will need. Under such eircum- moox | stances the application of ammonia it As s ; or (j,,. nitrates yield but slightly lost. On the other hand, if the amount of vegetation turned under he scant, then we have a case demanding am- moniated fertilizers, or putrescent ma nures. There is but little vegetation rotting in the soil; the stalks and blades are puny from the iusul * 2 0 It*111 supply of ammonia and its com pounds,and hence help is needed both for the stalks and the grain. In such cases, fertilizers rich both hi ammo nia or the nitrates and in phosphate of lime meet the vegetable demands. The drill should always be used. The wheat grains are deposited far more regularly and covered at uni form depth. Broad-casting is justi fiable only when the wheat acreage is very* small. A great many seeds are not covered at all and becomes the food of fowls and birds. A great many are covered so slightly that they* do not germinate, or if they do, the roots are so near the surface that they dye from dry* weather or from winter cold. We believe that tho wheat crop in our latitude would be vastly larger if seeding could be done in tho first half of October. We frequently seed too late. When the hard winter come tho roots have not gone down into the soil far enough to be safe from the ex- stremccold. Hence the heavy* loss so often resulting from winterkilling. Official Directory. Outlook of J be Farmer: Greenville Mountaineer. The prospects at tho present writ ing of good crops of corn and cotton are very* good indeed, equaling, if not surpassing tho yield of 1S82. The re ports emanating from the departments of Agriculture at Columbia and Wash ington for June afford interestin reading for tho fanners and towns men alike. In Greenville County, in formation furnished by* reliable far mers in all sections of it, encourages us to expect great yields of the main products of the farm provided noth ing adverse or amiss occurs from this time on. If two or three rains fall at the right times between this and the first of September, and there are no winds or cyclones to blow down the stalks of the corn or cotton, the largest crop within the recollection of all living men will ho gathered Let us hope that the present promis ing conditions of the crops will bo ful ly* realized. With such a result, we would fain believe that the lien buisness would be almost abolished, and the most s«who are now reduce*! to the dire once settled th United Stntes. President, Grover Clevela^o.

We cannot too strongly* urge the farmers of Aiken Couutv, to subscribe for this Useful publication, On Saturday night at half-past eleven o’clock, after the Lamps had been put out and the store closed the centre piece attached to the ceiling in the new drug store of H.

On Friday night last the Levels Church protracted meeting closed af ter a most interesting session, lasting just one week. The meeting was con ducted by the Rev. A. Pope Norris pastor, assisted by the Revs. J. D. Peacock, A. W. Moseley and W. H. Moseley. The membership of this Church is constantly increasing, and the relations existing between pastor and congregation seem to be of the most agreeable character. On Thurs day through tiie kind attention of our old friend and neighbor, Rev. Wel come Moseley, who drove in for us and carried us out, we enjoyed the pleasure of being once more among our friends and former neighbors of the Levels. We-attended service in the morning, which opened by a prayer meeting conducted by Rev* W. IT. Moseley, after which an excellent sermon was preached by Rev. J.I).Pea cock, Mr. Norris making only* a short address. In theevening a large congre gation assembled, when an able and eloquent sermon was preached by Mr. Norris, from the parable of the Prodi gal Son. After the sermon a large number presented themselves as applicants for the prayersof the Church, and one for membership. We passed a delightful day aiukong this hospitable people—dining in company* with Revs. Norris. Peacock and W. II. Moseley, with that estima ble citizen and industrious fanner J. J. Brown, Sr., each merflher of whose Interesting family* seemed to vie with the other in their attentions to their guests. We passed the night at our former home, now the property* of Rev. W. IT. Moseley*, where it is need less to say, we were treated by* him self and estimable lady* with true South Carolina hospitality*, and re turned to our business by nine o’clock Friday morning. Wherever we went the crops were excellent and in line order. The corn crop is magnificent. The peach crop is a failure. He then requested a brother to offer the prayer for the Church. Another hymn, and the prayer was offered for backsliders, with the request that each individual should select an Individ ual backslider, as Ins special subject. Another hymn and (with the same special request,) the prayer for the conversion of sinners was offered. During these exercises, it was evident that the Holy Spirit was present, by the impression of the audience. Every one present gave evidence of deep feeling. After the service of prayer, Brother Buist preached one of hit most impressive sermons,from Ecclesi astics 8-11, after which the “invita tion for prayer” was extended, and all the front seats were crowded with anxious inquirers. The door of the Church was opened, and there came forward 4 backsliders, 2 with letters of dismission and one to relate an ex perience. Note 1st. The Church was prayed for and wonderfully revived, 2 received by letter. 2nd. Backslid ers were prayed for. Many such came for prayer, 4 restored. 3nd. Sinners were prayed for. Many* came forward Hid asked for prayers, 1 came into the Church. Nor was this all, other back sliders were powerfully impressed. Oue more received during tho meet ing, together with four very* interest ing little girls from the Sunday- school. The meeting closed on Wed nesday night with 12 additions, as above 2 by* letter, 5 restored, 5 by ex perience. This morning at 8 o’clock these were baptised and the final benediction pronouneed. After morning service on yesterday Rev. D. M. Ramsey* gave us a spirited address on Missions,'and a collection was taken up aiuoundngto $55.35,to be given to the State, Home and Foreign Mission boards. Brother Ramsey* is the Missionary of the State Board in* the Euisto Association. He is an able young minister, earnest, zealous, and practical in his preaching, and attractive in his manner, he wins his way right straight to the hearts of the people. His earnest efforts at White Pond were certainly blessed. Weil, our meeting is over, God has blesseit us and we are glad. To his name be the glory. ^ t uite Pond.

One more thought last, but not least, the Rev. Taylor says that we the officers disturbed the services, I emphatically deny it, also Rev. Tay lor said in last week’s issue of the Jour nal <fc Review, that Elder P. W. Jeffer son hud sent my r self and J. It. Boyce to break up the meeting I deny that also, for Rev. Dennison was the only legal pastor to enter the pulpit that Sunday*. For Rev. Taylor had been removed, and had no more right there than any ordinary man. Had be re spected the law and himself, and felt agrieved and that he was unjustly dealt with, he would havef appealed to the annual and general Conference forhis rights, instead of drumming up a few female members to disgrace the pulpit, and disgrace the laws of the church,for all goodcitizens appeal from one court to another. As we neared the altar a mob of inconsiderate women confronted the officers together with the pastor appointed preventing him from ascending the pulpit,Rev. Taylor was lying down behind the pulpit and partly before he rose gave out a hymn. After the lining and singing of the hymn lie called the congregation to prayer, we quietly waited like Chris tian gentlemen until he had finished. Rev. Taylor claims that all the mob were stewardesses, I deny that also. The number of that mob was ten ami the only stewardess among them was Mrs. Allen. After the mob would nof allow t he pastor to ascend the pulpit, we the officers called on the Intendant of the town to interfere in hghalf of peace which he did, and it was voted and agreed upon by both parties to lock the church and the keys be turn ed over to a disinterested party. Mr. Davis, the Intendant of the town, be ing chosen, took possession of! the keys to hold until the Presiding Elder or Bishop came and be turned over to either. Rev. Taylor claims that we have withrawn from the church, but we have only acted ac cording to the agreement as aforesaid If any person shall wilfully or ma- lioiously destroy, injure, hurt, dam age, impair or obstruct any of the pub lic highways, or any part thereof, or any bridge, ditch, causeway, or other erection belonging thereto, shall be fined and imprisoned.
