The cultivation of summer crops now absorbs attention. The plants valued by man cannot stand natural competition they would be destroyed by worthless competitors but for his timely interfer? ence and aid. Mr, Lawes left a crop of wheat unharveeited to see if the plant could reseed and perpetuate itself with? out assistance. It failed utterly; in one year wheat would 'become extinct but for the intervention of men. Under like treatment the turnip lost its bulb and formed only a long, contracted taproot) as it does in its wild state. On the other hand, wheat on carefully prepared land, kept perfectly cre&n too as to remove all competition, made an average yield of 13 bushels per acre for thirty years without manure; highly manured under the same conditions, otherwise, the average yield per acre for thirty years was 33 bushels per acre. With cultivation and without manure; 13 bushels per acre; with culti? vation and manure, 18 bushels per acre; .without cultivation or manure, nothing. There is a lesson for us. Every one with the .slightest farming experience appreciates the importance of fighting crab grass, but the fight is often made too late, aud after irreparable mis? chief has been done. Plants bever fully recover their vigor after this grass has once matted' itself;about* them. By all means kill it before it has had time to rob the crop of its plant-foodj when the seed have well' sprouted or have just come up is the time to destroy it. The only safe rule, therefore, is to run tire plows or cultivators at short intervals say once a week. Later in the season such frequent workings will not be de? manded ; but during the month of June, never' stop the plows; as Boon as the crop is gone over, go right over again. Especially is this demanded by cotton. Give it every advantage now. Let it make weed and be ready to take on fruit. Growing aud fruiting are somewhat an? tagonistic. Encourage the growing now by frequent workings, and let it give place to fruiting; later in the season. Constant stirring ?l? the soil is the best 'growth-promoter! But) says one) growth is naturally excessive on my lands ; my cotton makes too touch weed and does hot mature its fruit. Perhaps on such soils it might be.well to work the crop at longer intervals?only bo often as may be j needed to keep down grass, tt seems to be pretty well established that Common salt tends to check an overgrowth of straw in small grains; it may possibly have a similar effect on the production of excessive weed in cctton.": The matter is worthy of experimental trial. Mr. Dickson, whose Intentions were very re? markable, and whose insight into ma? nuring was very extraordinary, always put salt iu his compound* But rapid thiog? not only promotes immediate growth, it contributes also to fruiting by increasing the supply of plant-food in the ao?l. We have repeat? edly called attention to the necessity of air iu the soil for nitrification to go on. Nitrification, increases the supply of available nitrogen In the soil; plowing opens the soil, admits the air, aud thus promotes nitrificatic d. Not only so, the admission of air generates carbonic acid in the soil, and carbonic acid is the great natural solvent bf mineral plant-food also. The saying, therefore, that ''till age is manure" has considerable founda? tion to rest on. It certainly unlocks the storehouses of nature. Well-worked clrops seldom fail to yield fairly, however adverse the seasons may be. Let it be borne in mind also, that light, surface cultivation is the great conservator of moisture in the soil, and one of the best antidotes to drought A deeply broken, humus abounding soil, with a thin layer of pulverized earth upon its surface, is almost proof against drought. . What are the best implements for this light summer cultivation ? The Dickson sweep fifteen or twenty years ago was esteemed the best. It certainly was a great improvement over the shovel, both as regards quantity a dd quality of work. Mr. Dickson insisted that they should be heavy, to keep them steady to their work* The long extended cutting edge caused them to strike more obstructions and rendered it difficult to hold them steadily to their place. This is a great defect of the sweep. On the other hand this long ? cutting edge makes ib almost impossible for a may pop or brier to escape. This is decidedly in its favor. Of late years the heelscape has largely supplanted the sweep on account of i ts greater simplicity and less cost. It does about the same kind of work?some think better work. Both sweep and scrape will make beds, unless their wings are carefully set,_lhis is a decided objection to them in hilly land, liable to wash. A cultivator, with wheel to regulate the depth of the plow, is in some respects preferable to either sweep'or scrape. It is not so easily thrown out opposition by obstructions, and docs not work :he land up into beds. Probably a combination of the two, fol? lowing each other at altermate workings, would be better than either alone. A cultivator will run too deep for light summer work, unless the depth of its cutting is regulated by a wheel. We are inclined to think, that in some form or other, wheel plows will become of universal use, not only for gauging the depth of furrow, but for the sake of de? creasing friction, and relieving the prcs sore on the bottom of the furrow, arising from the weight of the plow itself, in? creased by that of the earth which it lifts. This grinding aud pressing down by the ordinary plow generates the bard pan found in long cultivated land. The pea crop should be planted now as soon as possible. Put in drills three feet apart; a bushel of seed will plant four acres; and as seed is a consideration, this mode is oftentimes preferable to broadcast sowing. More peas can be raised by the former method of planting, but the latter is better for the land. If one's object is to raiso seed, drill by all means, and give necessary plowings and hoeings, which will not be a great deal. The practice'of planting peas in corn is good ; it involves no expense except seed and the dropping or sowing of them. But wo think the pea is entitled to a place on the fiirni na u regular crop to be planted by ihielf and properly cultivated. IIa value, as a renovating or recuperating crop, is unsurpassed, and it holds no mean place as a food crop, either as grain or forage. It can be made to take the place of corn to a considerable degree, as we have often seen, and can be raised at less expense. The gathering of the crop is the greatest obstacle to be overcome, but until a better method is invented we can mow when the pods are about grown and cure as forage. A correspondent men? tioned recently a pea gathering machine ?that is the thing needed. Let invent? ive genius go to work in this direction. The problem is very much aimplSr than that of a cotton picking machine, and inventors have not yet abandoned the latter. June is a good month also in which to plant forage crops generally. Last year we planted amber cane on the 29th of June, and it was fully matured before frost. Maturing late it can be kept green and succulent for six week or two months, extending the season for feeding green stuff well into the winter. Forage corh planted at intervals of two or three weeks, up to the last of nekt month, will keep stock amply supplied with good wholesome feed all through autumn, without the necessity of trenching on the winter's supply of fodder. It is the neglect of euch side crops that causes so much Northern and Western hay to be sold in the South. A very few acres on each farm could supply all of the forage needed. Recently we presented the la? test testimony and conclusions about en? silage. It is sufficiently encouraging, to warrant every farmer tryihg it, on a small sealO) at least, The expense of digging a small pit, putting in the for? age, weighting it down and putting a sim? ple roof over itj will be Very small. All can be do?e by the laborers on the farm after the crops are laid by. Plant the necessary crops to fill one now and build silo later?I don't think you will regret the venture. Last yearj whilst laying by Borne bot? tom corn, we broadcasted Soja beans over a portion of it, and were rather surprised to sec it mature its seed fully before frost. A3 it stands erect (is not a vine) we find no difficulty in mowing it, -and gathered the crop in that way. It is doubtless a renovating crop like the pea, and might be substituted for it on bottom lands, where the running vines of the pea in? terfere with the pulling of fodder. The bean is very bard and the weevil does not seem partial to it. We kept the seed two years before planting. Ground into meal, there is no more nutritious grain to be found. The .yield is fine, and the busby habit of grotyth and nutritious quality oF the grain commend it. Un? less cut when young and green it would make poor forage as tbe stems become very bard and woody, with age. As the oat crop was very much killed by the cold last winter, it is very desira? ble that all that survived should be care? fully stlred with a view to propagating a hardier strain of winter oats; Darwin relates that spring wheat sown in autumn was nearly all killed, but by planting the seed of that which survived, in a few years a hardy strain of winter wheat was developed from the spring wheat. Why could not the same thing be done with oats? What is termed ib Georgia "winter graSibg oat," originally, we be? lieve, from Virginia,- certainly stauds cold better than the rust proof. We have tested that point from sowings of each side by side on the same day last fall. A decided sprinkling of the grazing oat survives, aud scarcely a plant of the rust? proof is to be seen. The grading oat is therefore the more promising as regards cold, but it is not rust-proof. What we need is a variety both rust and cold proof. The present is a most excellent lent opportunity to begin work to that end. Let every one gather tbe scattered heads and bow the grain therefrom next autumn. The pliability of the oat plant, so to speak, has been shown by the Burt and other early varieties recently devel? oped; we are encouraged therefrom to hope that it may be changed also in its power to resist cold. We trust also that an abundance of seed rye will be saved at the South this year, The area sown in this most valu? able gftlin has been very materially cur? tailed by the scarcity of valuable seed. Western and Northern seed will not do well with us; we repeat, therefore, let every one save all-the rye he can. As we have argued heretofore, all the clean land or our farms ought to be seeded down in tbe fall, to prevent leaching and washing through winter and spring, and there is nothing as good for the purpose as rye. Nor is there a more certain crop to supply green forage in the early spring. It never fails if sown early on good land. Bye, crimson clover, aud burr clover are three very hardy and very early spring crops, and ought to find a place on every farm. They will grow anywhere, even on the borders of the Gulf. Put out potato slips for the main crop between tbe 10th and 25th of the month. If vines can be had, they are equally as good, perhaps better, than slips or draw? ers. _ A Surprise, * The Northern Pacific Railway is but just finished when it begins to put on uniform the same as other railways. An order was recently made requiring all the servants of the company to dress in uniform, and a tailor was employed to get out the suits. To facilitate matters, the tailor started ou a measuring tour, tele? graphing ahead to all officials?"Take off everything but your pantaloons and shirt, and be on platform, when train arrives, to be measured for uniform." When tbe train arrived, the man would be found and the tailor ready to enter the train when it wa3 time for him to go. Every? thing was working like a charm, when he stopped at one of the stations, but found no man waiting in bis shirt sleeves. He found, however, a very pretty little lady, the station-mistress, and her big brother waiting to receive him. He concluded not to take the measure. He then telegraphed to headquarters?"How many agents have you that don't wear shirts and pantaloons and where are they located ? Answer." Removal of Warts. A correspondent of the Therapeutic Ga? zette announces in its columns the vir? tues of castor oil in the removal of warts. Constantly applied for from two to four or six weeks each day?that U, once a day ?it has not failed in my hands, says the writer, iu any case of any .size or long standing. The time it takes may try the patience of the users, but if faithfully used they will get their reward in the removal of the wart without leaviug any scar. I have used it with some success in other growths, and bad benefit enough to merit further trial. It might, ho adds bo a puitp.is in lh? removal of certain kinds of cancer, especially seirrbus forms. Georgia's Rival Candidates. Atlanta, Ga., June 6.?The contest for the Governorship of Georgia has now grown to au intensity which threatens disregard for the action of the July con? vention and an appeal to the people at the ballot box in October. The well known ex-Congressman, W. H. Felton, has taken the stump as Major Bacon's first lieutenant, and has boldly declared in his speeches that be will not support Gordon, even if he should be nominated. Standing before the people as Bacon's personal representative and speaking thus, it is felt that his conduct is iu har? mony with the wishes of his principal. General Gordon, however, is pushing his canvass with persistence, making two or three speeches a day, and visiting all sections of the State. His principal effort is to arouse the old veterans to his cause, in which he has been reasonably successful. Major Bacon is also doing active cam? paign work, carefully disavowing the in? tention of characterizing Gordon with wrong doing, and yet telling things about him which suggest that somegrandjuries have been derelict in duty. During the week a number of Counties have selected delegates. These Counties, it was charg | ed by the Gordon men, hurried up their j action for the benefit of Bacon. The result showed two for Bacon and seven for Gordon. Richmond County, in which Augusta is situated, held a mass meeting to-day aud selected Bacon delegates by a vote of 167 to 867. Next week fifteen Counties act, and bets are offered here that the close of the week will see Gordou in the lead. The two candidates, as well as their henchmen and organs, continue to abuse each other in the fohlest possible manner. The issues of the canvass have been completely covered over. As near as these issues can be Uncovered now, they materialize in this way: The Gordon people charge that Major Bacon is the candidate of the Central Railroad people; that his election would mean a modifica? tion of the powers of the Railroad Com? mission, so that eventually it would be no more than an advisory body. While this charge is not fully sustained, yet tbereis enough in it to give it plausibility. On the other hand, the Bacon people claim that Gordon, who left the United States Senate to become the confidential adviser of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, still retains, under some g?ise df other, that relation; that tbe lease of the' Western and atlantic Road expires four years hence, and the purpose of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which seeks control of the Westen and Atlantic, is to have their friend in the Governor's chair; The con? vention will meet on July 28. Petor Francisco? The above is the name of a character that figured conspicuously among the troops of Virginia in the war of the Rev? olution, and besides being brave and patriotic, was of immense stature and almost fabulous strength. Francisco was brought to this country on a ship about 1765, and at that time was too young to know anything of his parentage or na? tionality, but from certain circumstances, such as his complexion and speech, he was supposed to be either Spanish or Portugese, and to him was given the name, Peter Francisco. The writer of this fecdllects seeing uirh a few years before his death, which occured-some? where between 1830 and '35, and when he (Francisco), was .sergeant at arms of the Virginia House of Delegates. Many wonderful stories, believed to be strictly reliable) were told of him in connection with his life in the Revolutionary war. Being an unlettered man he never arose to distinction as an officer, but distin? guished himself on every field as the bravest of the brave. ' His sword was made especially for him, and was exceed? ingly large and heavy, about double the usual size, and he used it with fearful effect. That sword is preserved, we learti, In the Library of the Capitol at Richmond,. Francisco's feats of bravery and strength were numerous, but only a few will suffice. He was once iu charge of four British soldiers, who had captured him, and bad stopped at a wayside inn for refreshment. The muskets of the guards being stacked in one corner of the piazza, Francisco picked his opportunity to step between the men and their arms, and seizing a musket he killed one of the guard and marched the other three to the American camp. On another occasion when he was a prisoner his silver shoe buckles were de? sired by the British officer who had him in charge. He said to the officer, "If you want them you must take them off yourself," and while the officer stooped down to unfasten the buckles, with the hilt of his sword projecting some dis? tance from under his arm, Francisco wrested the sword from its place, slew the Britton and escaped with his booty. Tbe cocked hat worn by the British officer on this occasion was kept and worn by the hero as a trophy long after the war was over. The hat carried the marks of the sword with which Francisco won his lib? erty from his captor. This one incident we relate, which is vouched for as true: j On a certain occasion Francisco bore on his shoulder and carried some distance, in the Capitol square at Richmond, a cannon woighingeleven hundred pounds! A huge inau he was indeed. Some per? sons are inclined to doubt whether such a man ever lived, but we have seen Francisco with our own eyes, also his son Peter and other relatives, and know that he is not a myth. But Peter Fran? cisco is called to mind at this time by the presence in our midst of Mr. Chas. L. Francisco, who is a traveling representa? tive of a business house in Greenville, Tenn., and who is a great-grandson of the redoubtable Peter. "Pot Liquor Bill" at the Front. Col. Ned McLure of South Carolina, the new Appointment Clerk of the post office Department, is one of the best read men and most interesting talkers in the country. Speaking with a reporter of The Critic to day he said: "Of course, being a Southern man yourself, you know what 'pot liquor' is and how it is liable to capture people. Well, there was in South Carolina a character whose name was Bill Wages. On account of his fondness for that liquor he was known as 'Pot Liquor' Bill Wages. Ho was married and the father of mine progeny. Iio had no desiro to become a warrior when the North aud South had their very warm and active differences, but a tempting lump of hard cash induced him to goto the frontalis a.uiibiililjilo for a man who had more money than courage. He was assigned to Company I of the Sixth South Carolina Infantry and ar rived at bis post just in time for the Sec? ond Battle of Bull Run. When things got warm, Wage3 gently sloped towards the rear. He sloped very actively, but was stopped by an officer and ordered back to the front. 'Not much,' he yelled out, as he continued to slope, 'up there is no place for a man with a family ." " ? Washington Critic. How to Disappoint a Balky Horse. The Fitchburg Sentinel tells how a Leominister farmer cured his horse of a balky freak by gentle means. He drove him, attached to a rack wa? gon, to the wood lot for a small load of wood. The animal would not pull a pound. He did not beat him, but tied him to a tree and "let him stand." He went to the lot at sunset, and asked him to draw, but he would not straighten a tug. "I made up my mind," said the farmer, "when that horse went to the barn, he would take that load of wood. I went to the barn, got blankets, and covered the horse warm, and he stood until morning. Then he refused to dlaw. At noon I went down, and he was proba? bly hungry and lonesome. He drevy that load of wood the first time I asked him, I returned, got another load before I fed him. I then rewarded him with a good dinner, which he eagerly devoured. I have drawn several loads since. Once he refused to draw; but soon as be saw me staft for the house, he started after me with the load. A horse becomes lonesome and discontented when left alone, as much so as a person, and I claim this method, if rightly used, is better for both horse and man than to beat the animal with a club." ?

Atlanta papers are giving the public some curious and wonderful cases that are quite interesting. It seems a young lady of Atlanta had been reported as dead, but it came to the ears of a Consti' tution reporter that she was still alive, and being on the alert for news, called at her residence to learn all the facts. Miss Dunaway, who had been pronounced dead,said: "For four years, rheumatism aud neu? ralgia have resisted physicians aud all other treatment. My muscles seemed to dry up, my flesh shrank away, my joints were swollen, painful and large, lost ray appetite, was reduced to 60 pounds in weight, and for months was expected to die. I commenced the use of B. B. B., aud the action Of one-half bottle con? vinced my friends that it would cure me. Its effect was liLv magic. It gave me an appetite?gave me strength, relieved all my pains and aches, added flesh to my bones, and when five bottles had been used, I had gained 50 pounds of flesh, and am to day sound and well." Mr. J. P. Davis, of West End. What Mr. J. P. Davis, of West End, said : "I have only a few words to say, which are to state that I have been con? fined to rny bed for two months with what was called Nervous Rheumatism, or Sciatica. I was only enabled to hobble about occasionally by the use of crutches, and in this condition I commenced the use of B. B. B., four bottles of which enabled me to discard the use of my crutches and attend to business. I .had previously used all well recommended medicines without relief. It has been over one year since using B. B. B., and I consider myself beri?anently cured." Mr. It. P. Doilgc, Yardmaster Ga. R. R. makes a statement: "My wife has been a great sufferer from catarrh. Several physicians and various patent medicines were resorted tb, yet the disease contin? ued unabated, nothing appearing to make any impression upon it. Her constitu? tion finally became implicated, the poi? son being in her blood. I secured a bottle of B. B, B. and placed her upon its use, and to ou:: surprise the improvement began at onco, and her recovery was rapid and complete. No other prepara? tion ever pnduced such a wonderful change, and for all forms of Blood Dis? ease I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a superior Blood Purifier." Mr. James Jj? Hos worth Button holed. "Yes," said Mr. James L. Bos worth, an old Atlantian, "it was twelve years ago when I contrasted a terrible case of blood poisoning. I had no appetite, did not sleep well at night, my digestion was im? paired, my throat was cauterized five times, and in fact I was a total wreck. I had been under the treatment of several of the leading; physicians of Atlanta; tried nearly every blood remedy adver? tised ; went to Hot Springs, where I re? mained several months, receiving no ben? efit whatever. A truly wonderful blood remedy was recommended, known as B. B. B. I used it, and, sir, 5 bottles cured me, and I really believe it to be the grandest and quickest blood remedy ever known."
