-(G)- Boom Boom Boom James Corn, a hard working and industrious farmer, who lives about four miles from Marion, had the misfoitune to lose his only span of horses by drowning yesterday morning. He attempted to cross the river al his nual place of fording, to go to his woik, but the water being deeper than he thought, the borsec got entagled in the harness, and both perished. A subscription paper was immediately circulated by his friends among our citizens, Who responded liberally. We heaid a man say the other morniDg. after looking at his coal pile, which had bteome beautifully less and distinctively smaller from the going down of the sun the evening before until the morning Rtated, that he could put up with a person borrowing coal without leave on a cold winter's night, but when it was kept up until the midJle of summer, it looked to him as though it was assuming the nature of a theft, and he proposed to find out who it was that was getting fuel at his expense.

He had blood in his eye, and he talked as if he meant busi ness.

Wh le butter alone makes no draft upon the toil milk carries off no inc- nsiderable amount of fertilizing matters from the 1 elds upon which the milk-giving animals feed. An average cow uses annua'ly in her milk about forty pounds of bone earth, which is" lost to the soil if the milk is carried I from the farm for consumption or manufacture. This, in time, will impoverish the soil, because when land lies to grass, and gets no cultivation or st'r-ring. its limited exposure to the elements will not cause a sufficient solution pf mineral matter to keep up such a drain, and sooner or later it will fail in productiveness.

Farms from which milk is continually ld, soon show the erects of the draft made upon their stock of fertil ty, if they are wholly or chie devoted to the production of milk for market, unless man re of some sort is brought on from sources outside oi the farm. Wrhen all the produced upon a dairy farm is sent to market or to a cheese or butter factory, ith no return of whey or sk'm-milk, there is not much difference, "so far as lha farm is concerned, between da. rying and any kind stock-raising. In view of the fa that when land l'es constantly to grass, without any thrlng or cultivation, the of plant food from decomposition of the soil is too slow, usuallv, to supply! he material for a- heavy cro, of grass, it has proved the best po'icjrfor most da ry farmers not to ketp the who fa to grass or forage plants; but to cultivate every year a considerable fraction of the arable land for the purpose of loosening and aerating the soil, to hasten decomposit'on. fr uch a course improves the productiveness of the soil faster than to let it lie still too long, and makes a better division of labor and a larger ann al return than when the whole farm is devoted exclusively to the production of milk, or to any other prodm and dim'n-islies the danger of fatal or distressing loss from a allure, when all is staked on a single production- hen worn-out grain 'arms are turned into dairy farms, a better thrift seldom fails to 1 observed, whatever may be the particular mode of dairying adopted.

When such farms are seeded down, much better cops of gra-scan be grown thau of graTn. notwithstanding grass and grain belong to the same family plan's, and hence are expected to use the same kinds of nutrient element in their growih. Then there is a more certain rel ance to be placed on crops of grass than on grain. It is much less liable to injury from wet or drouth, heat or cold, or from hail or storms of wind or rain, 'this greater sec- rity against adverse seasons is an in portant element in favor of dairying, over almost any other rural industry. In whatever way we may compare them, the chances are far better for the owner pf a fa ling grain farm to turn his atten on to dairying, than to eke out a scanty and uncertain Ti vol.

hood in growing diminutive crops of grain, to reduce year by year the producing capacity of his farm still lower and Tower. Natioml Lice Journal. Sheep an! Wool In the United States the history of sheop hus' an has been marked by movements so peculiar as to warrant the term "manias" in des ribing them. At times there has been shown a strong desire to engage largely in sheep farm ng. and a'most every farm baa then its Mock; at other times an equally strong deterin nat on has been shown by thousands to gefr rid of all their sheep at any rce, or almost at no priee.

The-se ruov. toents ha not always been im- mediately preceded by a marked ri in the price o. wool, nor has this desire to increa or to diminish the nuiiibar of sheep Leen in direct le'ation to an advance in the alue of their Ceeces at thi moment. Jn the year 18.8 the advantag offered to sheep sbandry by the newer States and Terri ories attracted the at-tenti capitalists and others, and by the middle of the year 1H81 many thousands of 6lieep were ranging where but a ery few years before ne were to Le found. Yet in SJH medium wool sold for some cents per poun I more than in 131.

In 1-S0 wool from Kansas and Nebraska sold or prices langing from sixteen to twenty-six ceats, yet there was a steady and rapid growth in the interest taken in sheep furming and a largo in rease in the number of sheep tak from the Eastern and Middle States for the purpose of start' ng rancho; in the West. With a diversity of soi', forage and climate especiall favorable to woo -growing, that industry has received in Aorth America far less attention than might have profitably been given to it. The were consumed in the United States between the yea 181 and 1S79 a total of 3, 2 1,76 pounds of wool. Of this quantity 95,4 0 pounds, the custom-house valuation of which was $165 415,50, were imported. As the value of goods impo ted or ported i greatly underestimated in made by the revenue department, the above figures may be sa'ely doubled to get at the eal market value of the wool impo ted.

This wo give fu ly as the sum paid in the seven teen years to other countries for woo which ght have been grown at home. As an item of passing interest in this connection it may be stated that in the year 1872 the value of imports of wool was plac by the Treas ry department at 2 14,1:5. the quantity im-porte having been nds. The civil war of 186 1 -'65 compelled the peop of the United States to buy largely and at high ices the products of the loom, and the ipply of cotton being oi in a great measure, caused a arger demand for woolo s. Stimulated these e'reum tances mil owners increased their facilities unt 1 they great exceeded ihe no mal re quirements of the country.

For some cars the production of goods ent on active even after the war had ended, until tle was a large ove upp y. hen tha )anio of 1873 came many i Ij- stop ed, and the i i po tatl: of wool si' from 1 22,256,500 po nds, ightin 1872, to pounds in 1874. The value of the wool import in the last named year wa aoe I at $8. or. e-ss than thafof the importations of 1872.

Chicago Tribune. The Bride Paid the Expenses. One night last week, "Boss" ton, son of Mr. Isaac Hamilton, at the Junction, procured half a dollar from his mother for the avowed purpose of hiring a horse to go to a party at Joe Newland's. Instea however, be went to the hou oj Mr.

George Moore, where his dulcinea. Miss Duckie Jennings, was staying, and having previously arranged with her to fly with him to Tennessee and become his bride, they were soon in a vehie'e and off for Danville, where they took the train for New River, a station on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. Arriving there, a Magistrate did the business for them, ana on i riday night last they returned to the Junction. The groom was a few days under seventeen, while the biide is a pretty, well-developed maiden of sweet sixteen. We learn that the expenses of the trip were defrayed by the latter, the bov having only the fifty cents his motner gave him.

His parents have refused him the house, and we are told that his mother is almost inconsolable at the action of her baby boy Stanford JounuU. fanners in about ten davs. Wheat in this section promistsan abundant yit-bl. With the present promise of an extraordinaiy ahnndant harve-t, our farmers are correspondingly jubilant and happy. A delegation of Peabodyites were in attendance at the Commissioner's meeting yesterday.

Their visit was relative to the bridge pioposition. Uncle George Griffith says he has hunted a great many kinds of game in his time, but enjoj-ed his first ele phant hunt last Tuesday morning.

How many men was there in this vicinity who left their grocery bill unsettled last Saturday night in order that they could have the wherewith to go to the show Several of our farmer citizens "got left" last Monday by thai, traveling swindler, the soap man.

One of them paid $10 for a piece of soap the size of his thumb. Two men connected with the circus had a little jamboree Monday night. Judge Eby arbitrated the matter for them Ten dollars and trimmings was the assessment made against each. Candidates for office are losing no time in advocating their claims. "Let me buzz you," is their mode of salutation now, on meeting a friend they have not seen for the space of three or four hours.

Dr. Waring commenced the erection of a new dwelling to day on the lots just west of the Christian church. There are some young boys in this town who if not looked after pretty closely will certainly go to the bad.

They have been detected recently in several little shortcomings, which, if indulged in unrestrained, will land them in the house of correction, if not in a worse place. Petitions have been circulated in the several townships of the county asking the Commissioners to call a special election to vote an appropriation of $7,000, to build a bridge over Muddy creek at this place. On yesterday the Commissioners met to consider the matter, and it was decided to call the election, and the 17th of July was the day set for said election. All lovers of the weed should remember that Col Bates has just received a sixty pound butt of the telebrated brand "Old Honesty" tobacco. This butt of tobacco contains two tickets for silver watches, and who are the lucky ones to draw them? It may be you.

Try it and see. Messrs. E. Carpenter and M. Riggs, of Florence, will receive a car load of brood mares at the farm of Mr, Riggs, this evening.

They will be placed on the market for sale. Some of these mares are very fine drivers, Here is a chance for our farmers and horse dealers to secure bargains. Messrs. Carpenter and liiggs are well known to our citizens, which is a sufficient guarantee that those puichasing of them will be fairly dealt with. POCKET BOOK FOUND.

Ed. Baxter's garden was somewhat demoralized after the friendly caller had got through with it, and several young fruit trees were destroyed. From Baxter's house old Bolivar next visited the orchard of Levi Here considerable damage was doue, several apple trees, loaded with fruit, were twisted off near the ground, the stone fence was thrown down in several places, and other mischief perpetrated by the huge beast. From the orchard the elephant went Into Muddy Creek, and followed that steam down for a distance of over a mile, to where it forms a unction with the Cottonwood. After a long search he was finally found there about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, and with considerable coaxing from his keeper, was induced to take up his line of march for Peabody, at which place the show was billed for Tuesday afternoon and evening.
