How TO MAKE Gloss HEDCE.
Ooffiu, of Jefferson county, Iowa, gives
the following description Of his method oi
securing . tight hedge: .......
~ have read Q great many chapters on
hedging, and have seen \ great many
hedges, bat have yet 10 see the fiEsl
fence made on the plan recommended by
most of writer's on the subject An osAge
hedge Of this kind shows better on paper
than around field of grain ueeding pro.
lection. The reason is this: where tbs
hedge is cut Of SO frequenAk and closely
the sprouts are SO weak EHd small, thai
as soon 81 the growth becomes sufficient
ly high to be Of any use against largt
stock, the under twigs die out and leave
holes between the plants. There is on'
mode by which the osAge can be made
into q reliable, substantial fence, which il
this: Set your plants two feet apart
and let them alone, except to keep th'
grass and large weeds from the roots, un
til they are five or six years old, or unit
they are two or two and half inches in di
ameter. Then. before the sap stGrtSin tn,
Spring, take = sharp AZ, and commencing
at one end, cut the plants Tor bushes they
will be now three-fourths or four ffthi
of, and Icy each bush down on tho last one
cut. The cutting must be all done on one
side, leaving tue bark uuinjured on the
ether side. Do not be afraid to cut them
near enough off to allow them to bend
down easily, as an inch of bark will keep
an ordinary sized bush alive. The lower
end Of the body should be about four
inches from the ground. Sprouts will
start up from the roots and from the
body, and run through the tops, and
make . fence that no rabbit can pass
through. The future trimming can be
done to the fancy, or the whole let grow
up for wind breaker.
~ think that when the hedge has be-
come Of sufficient size, it would be good
plan to set sod Of timothy or blue grass
around it, to prevent the growth becom.
ing too massive or cumbrous. A strip
of six or eight feet on each side would be
sufficient, and would be much more neat
and profitable than the weeds which
would grow, unless . great deal Of extra
care we're taken to keep them in subjec-
tion. The great scarcity of timber in this
prairie country leads me to urge the
adoption Of this plan, and as know by
experience and observation that this is
the only one 80 far introduced into this
section Of the country that is reliable"

of the support of their former masters,
aud many of them are leading lives of
vagrancy and idleness Being either un-
willing to work or unable to obtain en-
ployment, they have contracted all kinds
of vicious habits and given loose rein to
their evil propensities. At the same

praises of the abolitionists that their in

Wanted.-A Hobby.


The Republican party is sadly in need
of another hobby. One by one the poll
teal issues upon which the Republican
party either obtained or sought to obtain
power have been exhausted and dropped,
until now the party finds itself without
fixed policy, bankrupt in reputation
and destitute of means for rallying its
voters. We all remember how the party
first acquired its strength in 1856 and
how il emblazoned its banners with the
notices Free speech, Free press, and Free
men" but these will not do now. The
story of ten thousand men imprisoned IN
dark dungeons for daringto question the
wisdom of the policy of that party, has
rendered ''free speech" worthless for a
rallying cry. The suppression OF five
hundred newspapers for publishing the
truth concerning the doings of that par
ty has made Stree press dangerous
thing for Republicans to invoke. The
burden of taxation which makes slaves
of ten millions of men has rendered the
very name of free men" a mockery.-
The Republican party can't rally its
voters on that cry again. ..
In 1860, and since that time, the negro
was trump card in the hands OF the Re
publican managers. His wrongs were
exaggerated and his virtues magnified
and paraded before the people. Through
fire aud blood and desolation the object
of the abolitionists was accomplished and
now that card is played ont" The
slavery question has had its day and done
all the mischief it can and must be laid
aside 1t is utterly unfit for future use
and can never win another political vic
tory.
During the past few years the word
Union" has been made to do good ser
vice as Republican hobby. VI was
never rightfully appropriated in the
Northern States, because there never
was in those States any considerable
party of disunionists, but now that the
war is over and the Union preserved it
has lost what little meaning it ever bad.
The very men who shouted for the Union
most Justify are now putting forth all
the influence they can muster to prevent
the restoration of the Union in all its
former completeness under the constitu-
tion of the United States. The Union"
will no longer serve the Republican
party for a rallying cry or for Il dis
gulse.
A large portion OF the managers
insist that negro suffrage and negro
equality must be adopted us the next
hobby. but it is feared that the white
mans pride of race is still too strong to
enable this policy to win. ln'this dilcm-
m;. the Republican party finds itself to-
day 1t wants new hobby, and will
doubtless pay liberal reward, out OF
stealings from the United States treasury
to whoever may be lucky enough to in
vent plan by which it can cOntrive TO
hold its powera little while longer.
