Taking Card of Crops ' i Is an important thing at all times, for besides housing and stacking at the prop er time, much can be saved by Watching aDd preventing waste examiniDg. stacks to see that they are turning' water prop erly, and to see that the forage is not rot ting. 'Wheat, we suppose,' has "generally been gotten out, and much ' sent to . mar. ket. As a general rule, the grain in this section of the State is inferior and light. The Fultz has, we suspect, as usual, out yielded other kinds. We tried ' some "White JenniDgs" this year on tobacco liDd. ' This is a bearded wheat, and a gallon last year (sent from the United Slates Department) yielded eight bushels, or C4 for one. 1 This year it presented a very fine appearance, and ceenced to suffer less from rust than the Fultz, but only yielded about ten bushels per : acre, and the grain shriveled and light. - The yield was 45 measured and only 42 ; weighed bushels, while the Fultz yielded 20 bush els to the acre, weighing little more than 60 pounds. This experiment convinces as that the "Jennings" will not do for this latitude. The price of wheat is low. But they must endeavor to bear up, as they have always done, and not relax ex ertion, and we believe they will not yield to despondency-nd cease to laborrFatm1 ers have been tried in too, many fires, and been too severely tried and tested to fal ter and fail now. No race of men have more true courage and- pluck- and per severance. While -prices arer low for wheat and tobacco and. everything the farmer has to sell, we must remember what we have to buy is' low sugar, flour, bacon, ' tea and coflee. Pry goods rare low, and calico (in which our . families ehould now dress, in accordance with Col Beverley's advice) was, perhaps,', never, so low. If the women of the land would form a Calico League, agreeing to dress m notniBg out calico, ana reanco tne av erage of their dresses one-half, they would do more towards enabling their husbands to pay the State debt than they Will do by making collections of money, jewelry,' &c for this purpose. Planter & Farmer. Seeding WinterrOatsrCloTeirand Grasses This is a good month for seeding win ter oats, from the 10h to the last being probably the best time. If seeded too early, on good land, they may get in join in this latitude. In the mountain region there is not much danger of this. They may be seeded in the standing corn, as before stated, by runnipg the plow or cul tivator tnrougb. tne corn, and covering with drag or. cultivator, 'and chopping be- iween ice rows wild a duo. ii me gronna is not grassy or hard, they . may be seeded at once, and covered with a . cultivator About one ana a nan ousneis is a good quantity to sow, if '-sowed in this month One bushel frequently antwersTert. well We consider this a very .certain and good crop to raise.; Some years ago, from four acres we reaped 10 500 pounds and sold tLem for $1 per hundred, after being baled. They were not seeded until the 14th of October, and only one bushel. to the acre, on account of being , deceived about the quantity of land in the piece The land had previously been in comm and no fertilizer or manure had . beenused on it for a long time," though it was good land. Along with winter oats, seeded this month, clover and . orchard crass, and timothy, and tall meadow oat grass, ma aho be seeded js and frequently do very well, and if the season is not dry, will generally succeed. If a stand is not. got ten, or if killed out, there is the double chance, for they can be sowed again j in the Epring, except timothy. x f IaBpeaking of oats we fomitted to re commend the'Rust Proof Oat," (intro duced by Mr Lyell, of Chesterfield, from tb,er South, It matures about two weeks earjiei; if eede n 'ter $ii;ing H( seeded in the Fall, they come in nearly a month earlier. Some seeded in this vicinity the last ofSeptembr were,, reaped, the 25th. off&Iiy.' Tbie is a decraed. advanUge; as it furnishes the farmer with forage early, in case he should' be scarce of it, and gives young clover much better chance to live, if seeded on oas: the hot snn coming down orf'youDg' cloVev whetl oats are 'cut late very often s kills it.

Summsr Sygisns- in 'Ieture by Dr Vfa B'tleteheroJuidanapoUs, V ' One-fburth'of the children 'born die nn- r'1 aer tne age of five years old, and , JLa a great extent this high rate of mortality 1 was aue to mismanagement. A- newly born child is very much 'like ' a leech, it nas a very crood stomach -and little ia A child must have proper nutriment and proper rest. It must be' free from the regulation 1 bandages - which fashion has pound aoout your children; The custom Of handling children about to "be admired and petted prevents them fWim hn heir proper rest. At the nf nrm ir the child is ready almost at' the slightest provocation to being supplied i witter the soft, pulpy, nutrious food for 'which' the omujuuj in aesignea, ic is oi ten given Bbarcny iooa, wnicn engender disease. Another source of disease is found in the fly around' during the operation of wOniid custom pf giving children evening rides iD8 an drawing blood with great velocity, over damp sidewalks, and where there in tbuB fanning the Victim and lulling while a great deal of miasma , in the air.; The plunging of children .into cold baths is J one pf the most frightful sources of choler I ra, inflammation and intestinal disorders. I The same causes result, in the same eflects With the, children ?of poor and rich pa tents.' ' It is not, constant ' hot nr'onld weather that causes disease. but sudden changes of twenty or thirty , degrees , of temperature when .children are rinDro- tected and exposed are almost certain to produce the dreaded cholera infantum, for the child is almost like a sieve. Yege table food almost always undergoes in the stomach of the child fermentation instead of digestion. There is no objection to vegetable diet for 1 adults, but in the .case of children the same food acts as a poison iwubuij mo iuubi luiportaut ana userui thing that could be done would be to go into the kitchen and teach ' mothers how td make children's food.. The5 usVdf tea instead of fresh milk among :-our poorer colored families is a freqheni5 cause of disease; hot it is Mrery difficalt in this case to suggest means of imDrovement: sawers and sinks are perhaps within a few' feet of the well used by- a large number of families,' which are necessarily filled with poison. In one street last week the little bit of crape was hanging on six "' doors, ana ne naa no aouot but the poisone'd I water caaseu aeain, duc ine cnuaren were oatter on, as tney were removed from ab ject poverty. Look at the system of Sew erage in our city, and our surroundings of pork houses on the southwest, which at sometime will be the cause of a serious epidemic, A bad system of sewerage is worse than none, as it is better to carry the filth a distance away to be buried iu the soil. ; The principal weakness of our sewera is in not having enough water passing through them to carry off all -the sediment. : The: owners of tenement houses ought to be compelled to supply1 their property ' with water-works '. water, which is generally much better than the water'from any driven, well in- the'neigh-. borbood of a dozen bouses. This city is fortunate in the supply of good food, but the milk supply is not as good as could be wished, although it, is, much better than formerly. , Even poor a people can now get. milk, which it is cpt absolutely fresh, is ,not quite sour,, . Tjbea opening of the parks t0 the public in this city, will be of great advantage, and , is . already being highly appreciated.; It is . a great pity that the park a mile or two south is not nearer the heart of the city or. within reach of the poorer people by. street cars. Sick children should always be placed in the pleasantest and airest room in the house, but this rule is-very often neg lected. Children require more than the three regular meals a day, but food should be given as Often as called for, and they will digest it if they are healthy and have plenty of exercise. The best way to de velop a child in form and muscle is to, give it plenty of rest, l exercise . and1 good food at frequent intervals, never, allow it to go with what is called an' "empty ,stbm Cch." ' The doctor ."concluded by, adyoca ing better sanitary laws, and a strict en forcement of those we now have' also that a Btrict register of births ' and deaths should be kept, and said the aim of ' all good physicians should be the prevention as well as the cure of disease.! He was disposed to think the Chinese nad the ngnt idea tney pay tne" aoexor wnen they are well, and he pays them "j when they are sick.0 ' " : '" " " A Socece of Hard Times. Speaking of the vast and to a great extent avoidable destruction of property by fire in this country, the Fireman ; says that fires are increasing both in numbers and degtruc- tivenessy far more rapidly than the -increase of wealth and production. It is computed that from an annual loss by fire in lb8; otj 3p,yuu,uour - the j annual toss, exclusive of exceptional fires epch aa Boston and Chicago, if they -may, be call ed "exceptional,") has increased to 1100 -000,000. , The full', signigjcance of this statement cannot be T realized unless ana lysed. v This Iobs is . the.iirremediable.loes Of human . product and , industry. ; It is the conversion of , human blood, brawn and muscle, necessary to create $100,000, 000 value, into ashes, and t smoke. ; As suming the . labor that produced this value to be. worth $3 per i day, this loss j . the loss of more than the, combined .labor of 100 00Q. men for. one .entire year.;, Then, too, it must be remembered that this i is surplus production It has been accumu lated by - producers after ' earning liveli hoods for themselves - and families, and paying' their Share of the cost of govern ment and their proportion of the burden's of society. It would require, then, the labor of 100,000 men for 20 years to re5- lace by surplus production this annual oss. It is not only 'po " much wealth sub tracted from the resources of tbe conn try, btft it is the loss of the productive power of so much capital." , j . , ,,, I rrirrloiiTTji op Limb'--The' article "com- orf in r 'Hiainffiftt foul Tjlac'es is 18 chloride of linie. but in realityn it is not l t t w,tt onH oAnarUlv but " the cause still i-emains, as w'UO o uy c- glroyf:tb-gaseon8.
