A warm, sandy loam Lt‘best, but any dry, warm land will do for growing sweet potatoes. Mark'dpacea, tiaree and a half feet apart, merely marking the ground for the rows. On the marks de posit fine, well-decOmposed stable-man ure, then turn up the earth with a plow from each side over the manure, so as to form a ridge about 121neheshigh. Then finish the ridge by leveling with a rake. The base of the ridge, which should be a foot or more in width, should not be disturbed. The top of the ridge, when finished, should be fiat and five or six inches in width. Sweet potatoes can be grown to order, very long, thin and tasteless, if planted on very deeply plowed ground, 'or me dium in length and thickness by ordi nary plowing, or short and chubby by having the ground hard at the bottom of the ridges, and soft at the sides. Hard ground at the base is necessary, to irY , P the potatoes from going down deep and growing long and thin No ad vantage is gained by a very early setting out of the sprouts from me hot-bed, but we believe great injury is frequently sustained therotrom. The black rot, which affected so many li/st year, we believe is owing mainly if not solely to setting out before the ground Is suffi ciently warm. We believe none should be transplanted before the first of June, and better not before the tenth. We ad mit that if the season should prove fav orable, no cool or wet spells occurring, they may bo transplated earlier, but several years experience has confirmed us in the opinion that about the tenth of Juno Is on an average the best time to transplant. For setting out the sprouts a wet time is desirable, though they may be planted in dry weather, pro vided they are well watered with rain or creek water, that has been allowed to stand in the sun some time. The plants should be set 12 or 14 inches apart.— Great care is requisite in guarding the plants against the ravages of the cut worm. It is necessary to keep a sharp lookout for these ugly little customers. Every morning, for some time after transplanting, follow the rows, and wherever a plant is cut c ft*, if you look sharp you can see the hole into which he has retreated for a nap during the day to sally forth again the next night, to renew his destruction. He frequently pulls the plant partly into his hole, leaving a part protruding out, which readily betrays his whereabouts. Dig after him, and when found destroy him without mercy. This is troublesome work, but if you follow It up for a few days, replacing the sprouts which are cut off by fresh ones, you will generally succeed in exterminating these destruc tive pests. Keep your plants from be ing parched in the soil, as they will be from a warm sunshine after a hard rain, if not attended to. In order to do this loosen the soil about them. This is an important matter. Then keep down the weeds with the hoe. The old-fash -10110(i shovel-plow will answer the best to plow between the ridges and throw up the ground. Turn the vines all one way, then run your plow between the rows. Then put back the vines, and proceed in the same way with all the rows. After this, generally nothing inure will be needed, except au occa sional weeding, and pulling the vines loose to prevent their taking root, until you harvest the potatoes. They should be dug before the ground becomes cold and wet—about the beginning of Octo ber—to insure their keeping well.— When dry, they must not be handled roughly ; if they become bruised or skinned they will not keep. Ilarnesslng Horses Correctly When harnessed correctly, a strong horse is a poWerful animal ; but by an imperfect adjustment of tho gearing, many strong teams are shorn of half their strength ; and many are often wor ried more by au improper lit of the bar neSS, or by a decidedly bad attachment to the vehicle they are drawing, than by all the service they perform. But few teamsters have ever been taught how to harness a horse correctly ; and fewer still have learned that there is a right way and a wrong way to hitch a team to carriage. When a harness Is taken from the shop, every part should be ad justed to fit the horse that Is to wear It. The buck-band should be let out or bu0bb....1 sap, 1.1•• • •••.. long nor too short when the animal is drawing a load. Many a good horse has had a large sure made on his back sin, ply because the back-hand of the liar ness was buckled up too fur. The breech ing should also be adjusted properly, so that the horse will not seem like a man In a boy's coat, nor like a colt wearing the harness of a full-grown horse. The collar should tit as neatly to the ani mal's neck as un easy pair of shoes set on one's feet. The collar should never be so long that a man can thrust his arm easily between the neck of the ani mal and the lower end of the collar. Many horses— especially old ones when thin W flesh, require collars so small that they canuot . be put over the heads of the horses that wear them.— It is of eminent importance that the proprietors of teams should see to such minor points ; and provide collars that are open at the top or bottom.— Every horse should have his own collar and harness, as much as every man his own boots and coat. The lines are often adjusted in such a manner, that the heads of both horses are hauled away from each other so far that the team cannot travel easily. At other times their heads are drawn too far inward, toward each other. The lines should be adjusted so that the heads may be held just as far apart as the length of the double whiffle-tree. When a team is attached to a carriage, or lumber wagon, the breast-straps, stay-chains or neck-yoke should be so adjusted that the pole or tongue cannot strike either horse. The tongue is often allowed to have so much play, that it whangs the arms or shoulders of the team with terrible force, when the vehi cle Is being drawn over rough ways.— The neck-yoke straps, or tongue-chains, should be drawn up so as to elevate the tongue between the shoulders, where the lateral jerking or thrusting will be received by the gearing on the necks of the animals, rather than against the un protected arm or shoulders of the team. —Practical _Farmer. Culture of Forest Treee. Whatever advantage may be presented in the culture of American forest-trees, as chnifected with their valuable shade or the beauty that they contribute to the landscape, they have still a claim, at least in oue instance, from the valua ble fruit that they afford. It is believed that the cultivation of the chestnut tree, from this latter object, has not, until within a few years, pre sented much inducement to those who have the facilities for its propagation. The length of time required for rearing a tree of this species, to such a period that it may produce fruit of any value, has hitherto been considered so great, that few have regarded the enterprise a paying one—for to be obliged to wait some 20 or 25 years for the fruit, after planting, would seem to offer but little inducement to the ,cultivator. Experi ence' however, has latterly shown that the hopes of the cultivator are now brought within it much more moderate compass. Since the grafting of the Span ish chestnut on the American stock has been found to be a complete success, the culture of the chestnut for its fruit has been tried so frequently and with almost universal success, that no one now doubts its practicability. The fruit of the tree obtained In this way, may even be obtained in less time than that from ordinary orchard-trees, as that from the apple and the pear. I have seen small stocks taken from our timber-land and grafted. aecu mita lug tops, which, in a few years, would present a quantity of well-filled burs, and containing nuts three or four times tile size of the ordinary ones [Quad In our fields and woodlands. he size uf the nut, itself, offers a great induceniew for its cultivation. Within a few years an opportunity has been afforded for examining a number of specimens of the grafts before named These have been examined in different stages of . th.- velopment, produced In from One to five or six years, and in the latter periods they had attained a,,sise . sufficient to butr chestnuts that would well pay for gathering.

In the neighborhood of *est Chester I have for several years past visited a. grove of chat ant trees which are all now in thrifty bearing condition.

How to Commence see• Keeping Almost every mail brings us the in quiry from some one who wishes to keep bees: "How shall I make a beginning in the business? For many this is an important question, which we propose to answer briefly. It may be done in several ways. If you have a little capital to invest, the 'seemb pad most satisfactory way to begin, buy a few colonies of Italian bees, in the form of movable comb-hives; which suits you best. You are then all ready to enjoy the profits of the invest ment, and these will comejust as surely and In much larger proportion than from money at Interest. But many who wish to keep bees have little means to spend, and there is another objec tion to this plan, viz : those persons wishing to sell Italian bees in nice hives are seldom to be found.— Let this claa of beginners buy as many bees as their means will allow, where ever they can find them—let them be in gum-boxes, or what is even worse, worth less patent hives. Buy as cheaply as you can, but be sure that the bees are in good condition. Prepare such hives as you wish to use, and wait until swarm ing; then transfer and divide at one time. You can double your number while you get your bees in good "work ing" hives. It Is easy at the same time to make a beginning in Italianizing, if you are obliged to purchase black bees in the first place. Another way is to provide good hives and agree with sonic bee-keeper who allows natural swarm ing, to put good early swarms Into them. Pay him double price, if lie knows enough to ask it, for first, rather than half the amount, for second swarms.— We have known good large swarms sold in this way for one and two dollars each. It Is often asked, "Shall I not wait and learn more about the business before in vesting in bees '."fhis is very much like "not going into the water until you learn to swim." Buy your bees, study some good work ou bee-keeping, read the experience of others in the Journal, and your theory will go with your prac tice, and make success sure for you. There is nothing mysterious about, bee keeping now. Since Mr. Quinby "ex plained" the matter, twenty years ago, it has been easy for any one with com mon sense, to be successful in this pur suit, if they were willing to undertake it patiently. We find, however, that many begin ners need to be cautioned in one respect, viz : to " make haste slowly." Don't become wiser than your teachers the first season; but until you have experi ence, follow the directions laid down by some successful bee-keeper, as im plicitly as possible. If we have had any success in this business, we attribute it more than any thine else to the fact that, knowing our utter Ignorance in the matter and not being able to afford costly experi ments, we never ventured, In the early years of our bee-keeping, to use our Judgment, but keot " Mysteries of Bee keeping" at hand and followed its wise counsels. We can testify that keeping bees "by the book" pays,--whether " book-farming" does or not.—J7, c liirpern' formica. Pumpkins among Corn The Farmers' Club of NewYurk is somewhat exercised on this subject, and rather inclines, in one of its leading members, J. B. Lyman, to look upon pumpkins among corn in a favorable light. The member has "heard a great many old farmers say that pumpkins do not set a corn-crop back at all." We have seen fields where part of the corn was planted without the pumpkins (for want of seed,) and that part had the best corn It may be, in a d routh, that the broad leaves, by shading the ground, way be a benefit. We have seen good crops under such circumstances of both corn and pumpkins; but the best have always been where the crop was one of 0.. ) • ii. reliSoll. Here is the whole growth given to the one crop, a iirup that is very sensi tive 011 tills point, ILS it wants all to it selL For this reason we keep out all foreign growths; and the more we do this and cultivate, stir well the soil, the better the crop. This must be obvious to every one, and has long since become patent. Where pumpkins are sparingly planted of course there is less effect ; the corn does better, the pumpkins probably also. Better raise to ru ips,wh kb, planted late, will not interfere, or but little, with the corn, for by the time tile crop begins to tell, the season for tile corn will be so farad vanced that but the ripeningor ma turing are to do, and this will not be se riously interfered with. It is with our " old farmers " in this respect as in many other things; they are not close observ ers ; and bias has a hold upon their judgment; hence they are opposed to all improvements at first, and only adopt them from necessity. Testing is the only true way to decide. We have been long since convinced, however, that pumpkins among corn are an obstruc tion, a hindrance to the crowth, and that they delay ripening. Less and less pumpkins are raised every year; why? Not because they are a benefit, among corn, but a hindrance—a hindrance to cultivation as well as otherwise.—('bun try Gerdlonan. Kn-Klns In North Corolinn.—First Case Under the New lin-141ns Hill. RALEIGH, N. C., May 8, 1871—The first case under the new Ku-Klux bill came up before the United States Commissioner in this city to-day. On Saturday, April 29th, the house of 143 T Sarah Gilmore (white) in Chatham county, was attacked by about thirty disguised men, who tired into it, broke open the door and then whipped the inmates, consisting of Mrs. Gilmore, Mrs. Godfrey, several daughters ola mixed color though the mothers were white, and three negro men who were sleeping in the house. The house was a log cabin of [intone room Appeal was made to the United States Commissioner for the arrest of certain par ties, supposed to have been of the party. A deputy marshal of the United States pro posed go to Chatham and make the arrests alone, refusing to carry troops with him, whereupon Mr.:Shaffer, Commissloner,ap , pointed a special deputy; who required troops, thus endeavoring to make it as political as possible. The deputy appoint ed, ono Howie, a notoriously corrupt man, proceeded with a guard, arrested the par ties, and brought three to Raleigh yester day. A preliminary examination was had, which was continued to-day. The evidence shows that a large band of disguised men burst open the door and then proceeded to whip and otherwise maltreat the inmates. Mrs. Gilmore, some sixty years of age, was whipped ; also Mrs. Godfrey, Miss Frances Gilmore, the several negroes found in the house, arid num," of Gm ultildron. The clothing of the women was held up andthey were whipped on their naked skins. The band said they whipped them because they were prostitutes and were living with no groes, which the evidence of the parties themselves corroborated. On one of them an outrage was committed by the application of a match, a descrip tion of which delicacy forbids. The evidence showed a depraved condition of the women. There is much complaint of the women, in which the commissioner and deputy marshal have attempted to make political capital out of the case, but, unfortunately for them, all the parties ar rested for the offence confessed to being Radicals of the strictest sort. The defend ants proved alibis, and the evidence against them could scarcely be called plausible. Two of the men were bound over in the sum of $2,000 each, and one in $3,00L.

A terrible homicide was committed on Saturday morning, about two and a half miles l'rom Newton, in Jasper county, Ind. A young man named Lafayette Sheppard, killed his mother and sister in a most bru tal manner. The old woman and the girl went out to the stable in the morning to milk the cows when they were set upon by the sob with an axe, and so horribly mangled that themother died in a few Min utes, and the girl died after lingering.a few hours. Shepard immediately fled from the neighborhood, but was pursued and caught ion Saturday evening at Olney, where he was hiding. He is said to be insane. His brothers and sisters attempted to screen the act of the brother and gave tilhise ac count of the manner in which the injuries to their mother and sister were inflicted and , as to the whereabouts of Lafayette, The whole family were promptly arrested and.taken to Marshall, Lafayette charged with murder and the other menibeis of the family as accessories to the fact. • There - was a hearing on habeaa corpus, before Judge litchis, progxessing on yes terday, at Marshall, for the purpose ofpro curing the release of the:brothers and els tersi.but had .not"been'iletertnined at the tithe air, inforMant left; There' is great '*xeltertitint In thri.neighbothood where the aut,wasuammitted .arid.the. whole family aiwthreatened with "'lynch lattnti , ‘-Terre I.4r.aM.lP",i4),..rpreas, May 4.. - .

The Meekest Mau In Michixan. If a report clipped from an exchange now lying on our table Is true, and it strongly smacks of that virtue, then Is Michigan entitled to claim possession of the most generous, forgiving, matter-of-fact husband in the wide, wide world. We are told in brief that Professor Whipple, of the Hillsdale College, stole the brightest jewel in the domestic casket of Deacon Bayliss, his intimate friend; to wit, the latter's wife's honor—and after standing up in church and making open confession of the crime, went with a committee to the house of Bayliss and went through a fuller con fession. The report goes on to say that the meekest man on earth, prayer having been offered fOr all parties concerned, extended his hand to the betrayer and fully forgave him. We are not surprised to learn, fur ther, that the Professor exhibited great emotion. Western men have always been regarded by us as the most large-hearted of the race, but we never dreamt that such large-heartedness as this was possible.— Newark Journal.

We would respectfully call the attention of all farmers who need a complete crombined harvester, to examine into the merits of our Lancaster county built reaper and mower, THE VALLEY CHIEF. It is a simple two-wheeled machine, having side delivery, which throws the grain entirely out of the way of the team for the next round. It has a rear cut, a floating finger bar; the guards or fingers are made of the best wrought Iron. faced with steel. The height of the cut can be altered with ease while in motion, thus enabling one to pass obstructions or cut long or short stubble; and the whole machine is built with an eye to convenience, simplicity and eiurabilatt We are now building the VALLEY CHIEF lof two sizes. We have, at great expense and attention, enlarged our patterns so as to build a machine 150 pounds 'heavier than our lest year's machine; having higher driving wheels and such other alterations as our experience has suggested. We are prepared to furnish, either the higher-wheeled machine or ma chines made exactly like those of last year, with which our Lancaster county customers are so well pleased. If you want alight, two-horse machine, the VALLEY CHIEF is the machine to buy. If you want a machine that is able to pick up very badly lodged grain with ease and cer tainty, and rake It off, get the VALLEY CHIEF—it will do It. The 'Marsh, self-rake, in this particular, has no superior. If YOU want a machine that combines the qualities of a first-class self-raker in grain, to. gether with ono of the best and most handy mowers, get the VALLEY CHIEF. If you wish to get the machine that has hosts of admiring friends among - hundreds of the intelligent and discriminating farmers of Lan caster county, choose the VALLEY CHIEF. We respectfully refer you to nur friends In every township in the county for good words One of our new style machines Is on exhibi tion at the HARDWARE STORE of Messrs. RUSSEL, MUSSELMAN do CO., No. 21 North queen street, Lancaster city. Mr. D. K. BLTRRHOLDER is our general agent for Lancaster county.

The completion of this Itoad has given to these Bonds an established character equal to any mortgage/J/100 dealt in at the Stock Ex. change, weare prepared to Housed sell them at any time, at our Banking , at market price—thus placing them on the same basis, for temporary or permanent investment, with Governments or any other security. There bonds are a *rot and only mortgage on a railroad that has coat double the amount of the issue, and which oorrunands, without com petition, all the trade of Northern lowa and Southern Minnesota—ehortening the distance from lit, Paul to Chicago 45 miles, and to St. Louis more than 90 miles. The net earnings are already largely in ex cess of interest on the bonds, and no doubt ex ists that they will more than double within the ensuing year. A contract hasbeen secured withile Chicago, Burlington and' Quincy Railroad Company obligating the latter to invest 60 per cent.. of gross earnings derived from tra ffi c, with the Burlington,Cedar Rapids and Minnesota Rom] in the bonds of this Company. This arrange ment, is a strong guarantee of the Bonds, and establishes a large sinking feud for their re demption. The convertibility privilege in these bonds enables them to be exchanged for stock, at par, at any time. This secures to the holder, at his option, a share in any excess of earnings over the interest obligation. An exchange of Government securities for these bonds returns 0% per cent. interest, In stead of 5 per cent, which Is all that Govern• manta pay at present price, besides leaving an immediate gain of about, Al per cent, in price for re-investment. All marketable securities taken In exchange free of commission and express charges. HENRY CLEWS (4, CO., 32 WALL STREET, N. Y. TOR SALE BY REED, McGRANN & CO., LANCASTER. HORACE RATHVON, BAIR dr. J.
