Wo havo seen so much of this enemy of tho farmnrl.n n,,i great this tie, when it is allowed to get a foothold mm wo ieei impelled to allude to it frequently. Wo say allowed, because it cannot get a foothold whero a farm is free from it, except that it has permis sion to do so from the occupier of tho land. It usually visits him in purchased seeds, or it may steal over his lines from the lands of a careless neighbor; but in either event it is easy to dispatch it if it is taken in time, and tho farmer who neg Iects to take it iu timo and to destroy it root and branch, is disqualified to bo a tiller of the soil, and besides commits nn offenso against tho law and tho commun lty which tho law is intended to protect. Whero only a few thistles make their appoaranco, as they commonly do in patches, they should bo totally removed: not a pieco of root tho size of a fimjer nail should bo left, or it will produce a shoot Whero they suddenly appear in largo numbers they snould be cut off close to tho ground. And just before a rain the hollows in tho stalks should bo filled with common salt. One do30 this way is enough.

Tho ground may bo plowed in the Spring, but for an orchard wo would prefer turning it over in tho early Autumn in order tiiat the trees may navo tho full benefit of tho decayed sod and tho moro mellow soil. Spread Hie Jiaiiura from the Wagon. tv lien stablo manure is t.ikfn tn ti.n fields during the winter, it should either no thrown into a solid heap, to bo com posted or loiked over whenever it. 1m. comes heated, or bo spread directlvimnn tho land. In the latter case the fertility becomes evenly distributed over tho en tirosurfaco and, unless tho inclination of tho ground should bo very steep, no ma terial loss can result. The most waste Jul way ot applying manure is to dmii it in iiuie neap nero nnu there, so as to havo it convenient for spreading in spring. A largo amount of fertilitv b6- comes thus washed out during the winter mm riiiks in mo sou Djiieatii, surcharg ing it with nutriment, whilo of tho heap, which was intended to fertilizo tho whole ground, thero is little nnro loft than drv stalks and litter. The benefits of de composition, derived from a great bulk of nnniire, aro entirely lost in heaps so Mimu iiiai, iney cannot uccomij warm enough to ferment. Itye as a Oreeu Jlanure There may bo many a one who has a liuld of rye which ho may not particular ly wish to let mature, and to suoh a ono tho following letter of a correspondent oi mo j-rucacui vurmi' wil bo found interesting, huoh uses of rye as ho mentions aro quite common iu Penn sylvania. "I notico iu Waldo's Farm Papers, he speaks of tho valuo of rye as green manure, and I wish to givo my experience in tho matter. My father has pioweu unuer rye ior tlio last tlueo years and thinks it a cheap nnd valunblo for tiliiwr. Two years ago we turned a pieco of heavy rvo that was as high as tho horses' backs, and when wo broke this laud tho next spring, wo found tho soil full of the decayed ryo and very mellow. This spring wo havo turned under eight norcH, and my oxperienco is that tho land plowed all tho easier for having tho rye on it. We used a common plow with a chain to turn it under, and had no diffi culty, nnd after it was plowed ecarcely a head was Visible. Wo sow ono busVl of ueed to the ncie, any timo in tho fall let uiier wu nig potatoes or cut up our corn, nud havo never failed to get a good Htand. The cost of putting it in is small, nnd seed can usually bo had for liftv ccntH n bushel.' Nearly Hanged. Last night a sad-looking drummer nr rived in tho city, llo had just mado a tour oi sovcrai ot tlio northwestern coun ties, and, as ho expressed it, had enough oxperienco iu ono house toward the "shank of his trip to servo for years of adventurous reminiscence. "Several days ago," said tho drummer to a parly oi ucqnnimcunucfM last nigiit at mo Capital Hotel, "I was riding along through tho woods, wet, weary aild hungry. I had hired a horse nt a farm house, and was accompanied by a color cd boy on another horse, who was sent .to tnko my liorso back when I reached the railroad, Well.as I was riding along through a country whero tho road was a inero path, and where, the woods were so tiiicK mat they reminded moot A porpct jial evening, I was suddenly confronted uy two men, wiip, with leveled guns toid mo to hold up my Hands. 1 would iikc to navo nau an explanation, but my hands went up. Several other men ad vanced, and two of them searched me. They found a borrowed revolver and a watch. They did not tako tho watch, but relieved mo of the pistol." '"What's tho nigger doing for you'll one of them asked, f replied that ho hail been sent along to take my horso when I reached tho railroad. " 'Yes i when you reach tho railroad I' due of lliciu said. I asked for an explan ation, but they cursed me. I didn't know what to do,aud it didn't seem that they desired mo to do anything. They tied a rope around my neck. " 'Let's swing him up here,' said one festivo young fellow, whom 1 took to bo in somewhat of a hurry. Then they bo- gan to debate. Tho colored boy was frightened out of his wits. Pretty soon tney told him to go back aim to tnko my librso with him. To this ho readily as sented, nnd in a minuto more I was on the ground. I begged for an explana tion. One man soRmihly pointed to tho ropo I woro. "'Fellers,' remarked a thoughtful-look iiig mau, 'wo'd better tako him over and soo if ho is the right man.' This motion seemed to prevail. They throw mo on a horse behind a littlo fellow.and I start ed off through tho woods. It seemed to mo that wo had traveled an age, when wo reached a dealing in tho centro of which stood a email house. Several men woro gathered in tho yard, and I noticed excited women moving around. Our arrival was greeted with a loud shout. "'Where's Abraham?" asked tho thoughtful man of our party when wo reached the gate. 'Abrani would be out in a few minutes, llo caiiiei an old man with gray hair and a hickory shirt. " 'Wo vo got mm, Undo Abe, said the man who proposed to nnng, 'and we ro only waiting for the word ' Tho old man regarded mo for a moment, and said, lioys, no am t tho man. Turn him loose. "Tho ropo was taken from my neck. What was I seized fort' I asked of Abram. " 'Wall, you see,' said he, 'a feller came along here this mornin' an' tried to steal my dog. You ain't tho man. You can go.' I turned and walked away. I had gone about two miles wh'en a man on a horso overtook mo 'The old man must see you,' he said ; 'hurry back.' I trudged back to the farm lio'use. Tho old man was at tho gate. 'What do you want?' I asked. 'I wanted to say, young fellcr,thatit would bo a good idea for you nover.nevor to steal a dog.' Then i walked ten miles to the railroad. 1 have thought the matter over since, and blamed if 1 intend to steal a dog, Wha'.il you all have? An Artistic Theft. . When a certain gentleman living Commonwealth avenue, Doston, left i ji. . i . ' nuusu to go down io uiisiucss one morn nig recently; ho forgot his watch and left it under his pilloiv. It so hnpponei that when the merchant got off the horse car he met a friend who inquires ot pirn the tune. Reeling lor his tune piece, and finding that it was not iu his pooket, gent No. 1 said: "Why, I've loft it under my pillow." uour or two later mat watcli was in tho hands of a nobby young man, who presented the wile ot the merchant, at her residence, with a pair of line fish, as coming from her husband, and told tho lady that Mr. had sent for his watch, which sho would find under his pillow. Tho wifo had no suspicion of the) dapper young man, especially when sho saw the beautiful present her lord had sent her. tt'ni i. . . . --xiio.su nsu you sent me, dear, were just elegant, and I know we 11 enjoy theni so much at dinner," said tho af fectionate wifo when her husband re turned to tho bosom of his family that evening. "What fish do you mean, love? I'm sure x naven t sent anything here to day. "Oh, yes, you didj havo. you forgot ten tnu genueman wno eamo lor your . .1 i IT I I . . I n watcui no urougut tlio lish, "And ho got tlio watcli?" " hy, of course, I gave it to hnns ho i-yen toid mo whero l could find it under your pillow. "I hen that beautiful pair of fish have just cost us $150. I never sent any man ior my waicn, anil you nave been the victim of a swindler." 1 ho wife was much distressed, of course, and her huiband felt very badly uvur iiiu loss iii a present given nun by a cherished friend. It was soino hours betoro he-OouUl conjecture how in tho woild this thief could have ascertained the exact position of the "ticker ;" but at last ho thought out a theory, wliicl ho gives as tollows: llo supposes that when ho mado the remark to his friend about leaving tils watcli at homo tho thief was closo to him on the sidewalk ami ovcrheaid it. Then it was an eas matter to follow the merchant to his place ot business, hud out who ho and then by tho uso of tho directory certain his residence nnd go for watch. was as tho Nothing has been heard of tho thief. nun most prouauiy nothing over will be, Tennessee's Pictured flock, l. . . tn I i X T , ... , .Mil iuu miles neiow -Misiivillo is a curious spectacle, known as tho "Sun and moon. It consists of a paintiu upon an immense rock which rises to an altitude ot several hundred tcet. As to who painted it is a mystry which I bcliovo was never unraveled. Manv think it was tho work of tlio red brother centuries ago perhaps. Hut there the sun and moon shino out in all tho fresh- nees of now paint, lhoy are located midway up the cliff, and stand out iu bold relief. As to how any human being ever reached tlio spot is a question which, I believe, has never been solved. It is supposed that iu those days thoy had no giant ladders, nnd could not easily havo readied tlio point from below. Tho only natural ropo of that time was a wild grapo vine, of which Tennessee is so prolific, and some Indian might havo been by this means down over the dizzy bluff, and when no nnu uuisucu ms woik nan again uccn let down or pulled up. At any rate, theso pictures aro there on tho evor- lastiiiK rock, and nro likely to remain for futuro nges. GREAT GERM DESTROYER. PItOl'ilYLAOTIO I IPittinfj of SMALL ! PnJT Pffltwnffvl.
