res. Universal experiei-t-e ois b
-is the indispensability of this sub- t,
ance to a wheat crop; it must have a u
11 supply of available nitrogen to a
oduce laage yialds. But the two
-tioles mentioned contain in addition f
nitrogen a fair supply of phosphates 1
id test experiments have given addi- s
onal proof of the value of phosphoric o
:id to wheat. Five hundred pounds i
r acid phosphate to an acre would
ipply liberal quantities of the sub
ance most needed by a wheat crop, i
ad ought, under favorable conditions,
produce large yields. Both of th:e i
rtilizers may be plowed or harrowed
1 with the seed. In high culture the
irface soil should be brought into the
nest tilth before the seed is sown, by
peated plowings, rollings and har
)wings, and especially if the seed are
arrowed or brushed in, a good roll- I
it should follow and complete the
rork. The "firming" of the surface
mil is done by the roller makes the
,ed come up more uniformly and 1
ives vigor to the y-ung plants by pre
enting to free exposure of their roots
> air and dampness.
Whether land for wheat should be
ery deeply broken in our climate
dinits of doubt. As we all know, the
rorst enemy of wheat is the red rust,
nd this is more apt to aftack a crop
n damp than on dry land. Ihence a
rv May is so favorable to wheat. I
tt a deeply broken soil, and especial
one filled with humus, dries oft 1
inch more slowly in the spring than
shallow, broken one; there comes
ie danger from deep breaking.
[oreover, as the soil and subsoil are J
sually wet in winter and therefore i
ft and penetrable by roots, there is <
1e same necessity of deep breaking <
>r winter crops that there. is for those I
f summer. Roots can work their way
uita readily through unbroken soil in
ie early spring while it is wet and i
)tt, and a wheat crop is generall ma
ired before the ground gets so dry as
> be very hard.
Perhaps the best time to sow wheat
a week or so before the average date I
f a killing frost; this, of course, t
aries with different loca!iies. in the
Dr.thern portions of the cotton belt, it I
not far from the 25th of October: 1
wards the Gulf it approximates the t
iddle of November. From the mid- i
le of October to the middle of Novem- i
,r, or even the first December covers f
ie period of wheat sowing. The f
essian fly and other insects are not f
kely t injure a crop which comes up 2
ter a killing frost. But for these t
sect enemies, wheat might be sown f
rlier with corresponping hastening 9
the spring, with more likelihood of t
capiug rust. The early settiers of t
iddle Georgia, we are told, some- I
es sowed wheat in August and s
ade fine erops, and it would be well b
try on a small scale early sowing t
ain. On rich land such sowings r
ight come forward too rapidly and p
tooting up, before hard freezes, might v
t killed. This might be obviated by k
fht grazing. On poor land there is t
tle danger in this direction; ghence
e should make the earliest sowings s
all kinds of all kinds of grains on d
e poorest lands and finish up with I
e richest. Oats, sown on poor land s
early as the last of August, are not e
rely to head out before frost; but ifi
any kind of grain jointing threatens I
begin by the 1st at November ort
fore, a little judicious grazing with t
ves or sheep in dry weatber will c
medy the trouble. c
October is usually a dry month and
i-v favor-able to the housing of crops. t

Faoage of any kind cut early in the t
oths will be apt to cure well. t
rage corn, cut and put up at oncei
shocks, three to four feet across at ta
se, will cure well without additional 1
uding. It soon shrinks enough to fl
low good ventilation throughout the 5
ock. The important point is to o
114 up the shock right; see that each c
mful of stalks as they are added to p
are well settled on the gr-ound. ii
ith a rope with loop at one end, v
aw the shock up as tighly as posyi- ti
in the middle and tie secu-rel with b
rope of grass or stalks; put another

ilt, it will shted r-ain and withstand t(
nd for many weeks or- until per- is
~tly cured. Millo maize, s:>rghumn, n
, may be cured ini same manner-: d
asorghum gets limber- and is ttor-e ec
posed to fall down. Perhaps the s
tter plan with it is, as soon as cool si
ater sets in, to bur-y in trenches n

~ding ant horses and mules fot- P

t are kept in the mnager-s all s
. This is our first tital with m:
in this form; have seen it :
th peas and the mixed hay of btt
and sorghum feed to stockT
results. If soirghum can be C
m this manner suctcssfully ,it h
r -valuable addition to
d enure now. After all that has been
uggested about methods of curing
ea-vinep, it is doubtful if any plan is
uperior to the old fashiorned one of
uring in rail pens. Instead of boards
tid oni without nailinz and kept down
Y weights, p,!ank ain inch and a quar
er thick, of proper lengti, will found
.ore convenient and more effective as
covering. A good supply of such
Ilanks should be kept on every_ farm
or temporary shelter 'purposes. A
oaded wagon, a pilo of har or other
tuft could be roofed in a tw minutes
gainst a threatening rain. When not
ii use they could be stored under
helter and would last for years. The
.ext best plan is to cut and stack tEht
-ines a.t once, without drying, around
L sCCOId C rowth pine with low branch
ng limbs, the ends of the limbs being
,ut off so as to Imiake the outlines of
he t ree atier ii is trimmed cone shap,
d. Tie limbs prevent the vines from
ttliii down too closely and the
blirinikage in dryilng give', a plenity o
'entilation. Of course brush or rails
-aised above the surface, are piated
tround the bottom of the tree to keeli
rines off the ground. It is well also tc
:ap with hay or straw, as pea-vines do
iot shed water very well. After they
ire well cured, put up in barns, as
ucl stacks willinot bear long exposur
:o weather.
Much crab-grass bay can be kved
)n every farm; cut when ir.bloorffor
I little after, thequality is excelent,
MIost of that which is usually saved is
ut too late, the seeds having already
ormed and drawn from the stalks and
caves their most valuable contents,
Lhe seed usually drop ofl, and add
2othing of value to the hay. A train
,d hand, with a good reap-hook, can
,ut a great deal of this grass in places
here the mowing bl'tde cannot reach
t. Swamp grasses, if cut early just
n bloom, make good medium bay for
mttle and mules, but as in the case of
rah-grass they are gene rally cut too
ate. Never let grass, aftet it is partly
Iried, take dew; all that is cut before
wo or three o'clock should be put up
n cocks just before night, and as fast
ts it cnres, several small cocks should
e brobght together and put into one
arge cock. The rule is to expose as
)ossible to dew, rain or sun, and a
arge cock has less surface in propor.
ion to its contents than a small one.
We have bave often tried to cnre
otato vinei Uutrwithont success. A
veek or so, however, before the unual
ime for digging potatoes the vines
nay be grazed off without appreciable
njury to the crop. Most persons pre
er to dig after the vines are singed by
rost, and the work is usually done
rom the 25th of October to the 10th of
ovember. If the ground is dry, so
hat there is no danger of injury from
reezes, it is well to defer the diggtng
s late as possible, as it is desirable
hat the potatoes should be cool after
hey are dug-coolness, dryness and as
ittle variation of temperature as pos
ible are the conditions requisite for
:eeping potatoes. The temperature of
he interior of the bank or hill should
ener fall below forty degrees, and if
racticable not raise above sixty. In
rarm weather it would be difficult to
eep the temperature down to sixty;
herefore we say it is best to put up
otatoes after the weather has become
ettled ::old. The sinking below forty
egress is to be guarded against by a
iberal covering of pine straw, corn
talks, etc , finished off with a layer of
arth. After the straw is compressed,
Sought to be six inches thick gotd the
wver of dirt on outside from six inches
>~a foot, according to the severity of
he climate. The thicker the coating
f straw andl dirt, the slower the
hanges of temiperature in the interior
f the bank ; this, therefore, is a.dhry
-ood means of prevenitiUf suddeng
ar'iatiotion from .warm to cold or the
everse. Another is to protect the
astk frrn direct sunshine. A thter
ometer being in the shade will show
ass variatins of temperature duriug
de twenty-four houirs of night and day
tan one hung in the sunshine. For a
ke reason a shaded potato bank will
ave a more uniiorm temperature than
ne exposed to the sun during the
ay and to free radiation at night.
'otatoes go through a sweating process
:on after they are banked; it is well,
lerefore, to have a ventilator through
2e the centre of the bank and an
pening at the top during the first
iree or four weeks after they are put
p. Subsequently the opening should
e thoroughly closed, not only with
:raw, but with dirt likewise. Exclude
i, exclude moisture, and exclude
ght; keep the temperature uniform
ot or cold-these are the requisites
>r preservation. The potato is a
-opical plant; in the tropics there are
vo seaisons, the wet and the dry. Ini
s relations to vegetation, the former
tkes the place of our summer, and the
tter of our winter. Vegetation is
tore or less dependent during the dry
yason. The sweet potato bridges it
ver by its tubers. which remain uin
anged in the dry hot soil. The tem
erature of the soil, though high, is
niformn, and this uniformity, together
-ith absence of moisture, keeps the
ibers dormant. A cool soil would be
etter if above freezing point, because
eat is one of the stimulants to germni
ation, or sprouting, wvhich is similar
>germination, and to rotting, which
always an accompaniment of germi-.

emical change in its contents-its

igar and thus made soluble and fit to

Curiosities of the

The correspondeu
Chronicle writes that St
funeral took place in C
the 4th inst . aid great excitement.
Four thousand negroes collected in
front of the Centenary Church a little
after 110011. It is the) religio-politicai
church of Charletcn. Thile negroes
behaved boisterousl, On Went worth
street, in front of the church, a mulatto
militiaman saw Policeman Curley com
ing up, walking leisurely on his beat.
He said "There is the son of a -
who killed Prince Bowen," and cocked
hir Winchester rifle, in front of the
church. Many knew if the rifle was
fired it would be the signal of a slaugh
ter. The correspoindetit of the above
named paper and a Mr. Traver-s, of
Cincinnati, came down the steps to
gether, accompanied by Gen. Lee, col
oaed, and the Rev. P. W. Jefferscnt.
They said "Stop!" and he did. Two
negro woimeniiLtainite just theii. There
was a tearful excitement. Four thous
and people were running to and fro in
the streets, crying "ull himi! kill
him!"
It is reported that the negroes at
tempted to mob two reporters in the
cemetery, John A. Moroso and llenrf
D."Hoyireu. This is not true as Mir.
Morosoiwas at home and Mr. Hc wren
wasat'the Hotel Windsor, where he
boards, when the report originated.
They both laughed at the idea and said
they'd like to see it going on for the pure
fun of it. Republican negroes started
this. They say there will be trouble,
but there will not.
There were maiy witnesses examnin
ed in the Bellinger-Riley killing on
Monday. Thousands assembled in
front of the "fire-proof building," as
the r generally do en such occasions.
The verdict was that "Bellinger killed
Riley." No reason assigned. The
corresponent is a personal friend of
Dr. Belliuer, who is perhaps as
prominent a physician as there is in
Charleston. There was great ex
citeMent at the inqaest. In fact the
crowd was worse nivstificd after than
they were at the inque-t. Nearly all
the witnesses swore that Dr Bellinger
shot Riley for calling him a "son ofa
--" oil the iight before the killing,
except one, Mr. Roland Alston, who
was a wiLiiess, was intoxicated while
testifying, and insulted both the coro
ner and LdwinI R. White, Chairinam of
the County Coin nissioners. They both
laughed him to scorn. le testitied in
favor of Riley, as. if prejudiced or paid.
The gist of the whole inquest was
this, except one witness. About a
dozen witnesses testificd that Dr. Bel
linger ubraided Biley for "beating" a
horse, and Riley- said: "I am not
'beating,' but 'whipping' the horse."
This occurred Friday night. The next
morning Dr. Bellinger came in and
said oaths and vituperation had passed
between them. It is not known, but
the only witness whom the jury trusted
much was Mrs. Holmes. She said:
"I saw Riley leaning on his stable
fence. Dr. Bellinger came up. Dr.
Bellinger- said, when I first heard him:
'Damn you, you were there, and you
know all about it.' Riley said: 'Dock,
no I don't; I was not there.' The
Doctor said: 'Damn you, you were.
I am going to shoot you' (drawing a
pistol). Riley folded his hands sup,
plicatingly in front of him atnd said:
'Doctor, don't kill me, I wasn't there.'
Theni the Doctor tired six times, his
victim falling after the fifth shot-a.1
the other witnesses making him faI4 at
the first shot." Ti~,grgenral-opuinion
is that Dr. EHiiger shot Riley for
some other Cause besides the fuss about
the horse The correspondent has
xtervlewed twenty-three of the best
citizens of Charleston. They all be
lieve it was not the fuss about the
horse.
A later special from Charleston to
the same paper says: "The excite
ment here is unabated, but the opinion
has crystalized that Dr. Bellinger did
not kill Riley because of the fuss
about the hor-se. If the killing had
been in self-defence the last five shots
would not have been fired, since the
first placed the deceased hors de com
bat. -It is rumored about the city that
a certain member of Dr. Bellinger's
family has entered the Dominion of
Canada since the killing, and lie says
lie would rather (lie than disclose the
reason of the killing. The universal
opinion in this city is that the trial will
disclose a - social condition of affairs
that nobody dreamed existed here.
Much of the evidence has been sup
pressed on local accounts. Mrs.
Holmes's account was only partly pub
lished. There was a reason for the
suppression, which will come out
soon."
A GREAT FIRE IN LONDON,
Fifteen Milnion D liars of Property De

Fire broke out at five o'clock Thurs
day morning in the Charter House
buildings, a row of thirteen eight
story warehouses on Aldersgate street
in London. The flames spread with
such rapidity that in a few hours all of
he buildings, including their contents,
ivere almost totally destroyed. The
rigin of the fire is unknown. The
row was mostly occupied by fancy
oods dealers, furriers, toy stores and
printing offices. One bank was also
nte buildings. This institution was
he only one that escaped being burned
onpletely. It was badly damaged
ut not destr~oyed. The firemen had
reat difficulty in getting streams from
he engines to play upon the upper
tories of the buildings. Many narrow
sapes were reported owing to the
esperate attempts of the firemen to
et at the flames. The damage is esti
ated at ?3,000,000.

riHE EDGEFIELD TRAGEDY.
Warrants Issued for the Arrest of Twenty
four Alleged Lynchers.
Dr. W. A. Culbreath, a brother of
the Culbreath who was murdered at
Edgefield by masked men, has sworn
out a warrant, which ha,, been lodged
with the Sheriff for the arrest of the
following parties alleged to be impli
cated in the Culbreath mtturder, viz:
Ned Bussey, W.L. McDaniel, Mem
phis Culbreath, Reuben Johnson, Lou
Prescott, Luther Bell, Oscar Burnett,
Steve Hamiiond, Demps Bussey, John

Collier llammtond, Joseph Wilson,
D. A. J. Bell, Jr., George Vonce, Win.
Elam, P. 11. Bussey, Ollie Holmes, Ed
ward Holmes, Aleck Holmes, Newton
Johnson.
These parties, it is said, will report
to the sheriff at some central point ont
Wednesday and come to the village
that evening. Ont account of the
crowded condition of the jail, there
being some thirty prisenors already
therein, the parties above mentioned
will be assigned to quarters in the
court-room of the court-house under
guard until they apply for bail.
All the parties for whom warrants
were issued, with the exception of Dr.
Key, W. L. McDaniel and Irwin
Holmes, were brought in on Wednes
day morning by Sheriff Ouzts and
lodged in the lower rooms of the jail.
Dr. Kev and Mr. McDaniel were de
tained at ho.ne ont account of serious
illness int their respective families,
whilst young Holmes is himself quite
sick. They will report, however, to
the sheriff every day or two. Applica
