The recent extraordinary rains have brought to light all the weak points on the farm, and the farmer conld not spend a few days more profitably than ia studying them and devising plans to strengthen mem. 1U sucu piuuacicu auu conious rains the damage from water coming down from woodland or uncultivated Gelds is very great. In all such cases a large, capacious , night time, by fire light the person so ditc h should be arranged to head it , so offending shall be guilty of a misde- ofi.

Remember also that when a ditch breaks over the trouble very generally is below the point at which the break occurs. Clean out, therefore, not only at the break but as far below as may bo needed. If land has been terraced, some of these have . doubtless been cut through more or less. Some defect in the original laying off, or in the subsequent plowing about Uiem i. f fLi i u. iu.uu uuu. -" ur onnin nrtinto nun irarpp fnn rfn . tratiDg on these may have washed through them. If so rectify re. store the level build up the gap, driving down stakes and using turf, so that the accident will not be likely to happen again ; and sow these mended spots at once in grass or grain to hold them fast. Dou't be discouraged because your ter races have failed somewhat. They will get right after a little if yon help them judiciously from time to time. But mast be watchful, and not let things go wrong too far be fore he corrects or stops them. Now, while the ground is soft and in plowable condition, and there is comparative leisure on the farm, is a good time to establish terraces in stubble fields. Kan oft the lines, throw np the double furrows, mak ing a bed, say two feet wide, with the middle of it unbroken and firm, and sow rye or grass freely on these beds to strengthen them with their roots. By next spring they will be firm enough to withstand ordinary rains. It is better to make terraces in the fall and let them settle and become firm through the winter. Those heavy rains bring clearly to view also the necessity ol erect ing barricades across bottom lands where the fall is such that the water scours them. This is es pecially true of the branch bottoms. Many ot these have great fall, and the water in lreshets washes out corn ant sweeps off the soil By erecting barricades at narrowest points and at judicious distances, of the water may be checked, the soil saved and per haps a rich deposit made upon it. It willow stobs are driven down along these barricades, theyare apt to grow and make permanent ob structions. It is well also to look after the banks of streams and stop excessive caving iu at any point. A ofr,K nr I o i n il i ni nrt ol 7 lnrar.twl i i. .. r , ujiij uiveri ine cuiiouu uuiu iuc bank. These are eminently cases iu which a stitch in time saves nine. The banks ot streams ought to slope very gently and be sodded in grass. Steep banks will cave. Kafts and other obstructions should be removed. Such work is too often left until spring. It should be looked after all through the year. There is no excuse for neg lecting it now, when work in the crops is not pushing. Much profit able work might also be done now in filling in gullies and incipient washes with brush, woodscraps, etc. The davs are long and weath er warm, and much more Can be done now than in cold, short days of w inter. Bare, galded spots may also be covered with loaves or trash of any kind that comes to hand. In short, go over the farm carefully aud note every point where a lick in season may do good, and put it iu right then and there. W. L. J., in Atlant a Constitution. A Snake Swallows a l'iir. .lasper Brvan, living out ou the river east of town, relates are- markablo incident between a pig of ' , , , . ,. his and a rattlesnake. A hue sow and pigs used to go in the river sw.imi'. and frequently the sow would mmiur for her slons with one tug short, which so worried friend II--- r Brvan that he mastered his forces and went in search of the pigs. He had not been in the swamp long before he was startled by the peculiar Jsound of the rattles, and upon investigation found that a snake had swallowed a pig, but the little grunter, not being satisfied with the ccntiuement, had actually kicked its feet through the belly of the snake and was walking about trving to find its wav out ot the woods, with its head still enclosed in the lower part of the snake's body. The snake was promptly killed, and found to contain six teen rattles. The pig was carried home and is doing well. Marks villo da i Times. Clever Boys. Although bojs are often rather hard in their treat ment of each other, they ceitainly always stick together when one of their party is in trouble.

Texas New?. GaLvlston, Aug. 7. The election re turns received last night were meagre and came in slowly. Those received up to midnight did not increase the ma jority against the Prohibition amend ment contained in yesterday's report by over 8,000, making the total majority thus far against the amendment TS 000. Chicago, Aug. 7. The Times' special from Fort Worth. Texas, says: Last night a number of men and bovs were ' collected on the public fquare, engaged in firing anvils and discharging lire- works to honor of the victory won in the State by the Anti-prohibitionists, when an accident occurred that has already resulted in two deaths and in all probability another will follow. A keg of powder had been secured for the occasion, and one of the boys seated himself thereon, when eome one from the other side of the square fired a rocket which struck the keg of powder, causing a terrific explosion. James Lazaebv. 17 years old. was blown seve- rai feet into the air: he was burned on everr part of his body, and expired thi "orninsr. Wave Ilatchell, aged 10 years was burned nearly as bad as Lazaeby i he died this afternoon. C.us Mitchell, aged 17 years, was stripped of his clothing from lbs hips down: he cannot recover.

The regular monthly crop report for the Memphis district, which embraces West Tennes see, North Mississippi, North Arkansas and North Alabama, to be published tomorrow by Hill, Fontaine & Co., will sav: The weather during the month of T v was in the main favorable tor cot- ton" This is emphasized by the splen- did reports received from Mississippi and Alabama. -.There the crops are most promising. Complaints are received from Arkansas, where drought has pre vailed in some localities and damage has been done to the plant. In Tennes see rain is badly needed in several sec tions, and injury to both cotton and corn are reported. The outlook on the whole, however, is very satisfactory and a yield largely in excess of last year can be confidently anticipated.
