Proposed statue to Cen. Grant.

1t is stated that . few sycophantic
ofiicc-hunters are desirous Of propitia-
ting the powers that be by getting the
public to erect statue of Grant, pro-
posed to be cast from the guns captured
by him during the war. Tho New York
Herald has no doubt that Grant il tho
roughly disgusted with the effort. He
is far too sensible man to receive 1t
other than an insult. He certainly will
not show himself less sensible on this
point than that brave old soldier, Gen.
eral Thomas, who refused such adula-
ton in his own department. 1t is far
better to wait until tho administration
Of the President elect Is finished before
talking of statues; far better still to
wait until death renders it impossible
for man to do anything to stain his
record before his virtues are held up in
a statue as a model for the ambition of
coming generations. a..

Cured Corn Fodder.

Well cured corn fodder is one of the
cheapest and best feeds for milk cows.
1t will produce more milk and butter
than any other fodder in winter. 1t is
most profitable to have it cpt a quarter
Of all inch in length with d fodder cut
ter and then steamed; or by pouring
hot water over it and mixing q little
chopped oats or mill feed with it and
letting it stand few hours to soak,
cows eat it up clean. 1t is the cheapest
feed farmer can raise.

Dry EartI, for Wounds.

The medical authorities of the Penn.

\ dressing of dry earth for wounds ID
exceedingly valuable. In the army this
dressing was extensively used, and al.

exposed this fact to humanity ages ago
BY applying earth to their own hurts
For obstinate sores dressing of pul.

Of the gospel Of reputation IS de-
feated, dead and done for politically

all hearts not dead to every patriotic

We are averse to personal contro-
versies and never indulge in them
except in sell defence. The malig-
nant attempt of the Statesman, IN
last Saturdays issue, TO create a
feeling against us, ior some unex-
planned reason, we acknowledge
strikes us with surprise ; yet, the
ostensible provocation for the at
tack. as shown at the head OF over
a column of most peevish and sickly
spleen against the editor OF this pa
per. is so frivolous that we pass the
article by as the hectic ebnlilion OF
a mind far gone on the road TO total
depravity. We take occasion, how
ever, in passing, to say that we shall
not leave the Territory, as the writer
requests, until it shall suit our In
cljnation TO do so. We were here
first, and may at some future time
attempt to show why the writer Of
the article in the Statesman could as
well be spared.

SINCE our neighbor has modified
his reasons why Bugbee did not con-
verse freely with the intelligent
farmers of Texas so as to bring his
theory of the matter within the
bounds of plausibility, we have but
single remark further to make in
support of our original statement,
and that is based on an incident
that occurred iu the experience OF
Bob Enos, who accompanied Shea
and Bugbee on their cattle specula-
ton.
Bob says he was at party during
his stay in Texas, at which the beAe
of the neighborhood shone with un-
usual splendor, and in fact was SO
far over average among the young
ladies present in Intelligence and
polite accomplishments that the ma
tive young men were little shy and
feared TO approach her with their
attentions least she should give them
the mitten. The night eventually
wore away and it came time TO de-
part for home. Bob concluded to
spruce up to the belle and take the
chances of defeat. Their was quite
a stir among the guests in finding
their bonnets, hats, etc. Bob finally
found his blanket, threw it over his
shoulders Poncho fashion, and step
ped up to the charmer with the fol-
lowing salutation: I" Miss Davis,
can have the pleasure Of escorting
you home > - Certainly, certainly,
thank you, too" She accordingly
took his arm and drew a corner OF
his blanket over her shoulders with
the other hand, as the night air was
a little chilly, and they proceeded
in silence at slow pace towards
the. home of her parents until they
had gone beyond ear-shot of the
crowd, when she began, :. @, Mr..
Enos, won't my father and mother
be surprised, and tickled too, when
they see me coming home with a
nice Idaho cattle drover? Q, goody,
I'm so glad and she buried her
face in his blanket and weptforj joy.

siderable note, with accompanying
portraits. The article devoted to
the hard fortune, early struggles

in elevating herself from street.

Suggestions--to the Planters.
Mr.. Editor:

t"'' [oHoF ttn..+
in our FORMER article upCn grasses we
made no allusion TO blue -grass-from the
TACT that 1t is still illunknown 10 us whether
our soil and climate are conclusive n ;,a
growth. Still il will cos, Comparatively lit
tic moneysnnd labor 10 test it, and ns some
OF our planters may desire TO make the tes,
vii now make few suggestions for their
benefit.
Bue-grass is not we'll adapted for hay
making, rs ii will yield much less, nm inte
rior hay TO that of clover o. timothy, md
from its very nature and quality i. is alone
adapted 10 grazing. and rs such Ear excrls
oil others, both in yield and in nulrcious
qualities which makes ii ya.uaLlc at all sea
sons of the year.
The blue grnss seed is never separated
from the chaf, and therefore requires more
10 be sown per acre, which shuuhl never be
IN less quantities than one peck per acre
and as IL is mach cheaper than olh,r scc,'s
IL Is much better to SOW it, cventhickcr than
that.
me best time and place to SOW IL, is on
wheat or rye ground, early rtcr the former
Is sown hut will grow If sown at any sea
son, anu in connection with clover, MS 1t re.
loires several years to form thick, heavy
SOU n'"i rs the clover gives way tho blue
grass VIII take its place by spreading and
formation OF the sod, which will continue 10
improve for an indefinite period-once es.
yoln ok I,
any purpose.
bluc- grass spreads and the seed from its
own stalk will fall off and grow, so where at
hrst II is thin, will gradually como thicker
nnd thicker each year until pcrfcc, soil is
formed without any additional labor.
In our former article we failed to mention
the process of hay making, and The way to
take care Of and preserve it.
Glover should be cut when half of II,
blossom is dcnd, and permitted to lie in tho
sun until fully wilcd, which will rcon;re
from a half to days sun, and should then
oestaoked either under shelter or covered
with timothy, or some mat alcrial that will
turn the rains, otherwise, it will soon be-
como worthless.
lt.would DO much bcttor TO add n l;tuo
salt upon It, between the different layers,
which will not be lost to the stock zhcn
feeding.
The same process is usual in making hay
OF timothy, only it will ber stacking in the
fields, rs il is so constituted os 70 ,nrn ~,
tor ana protect itself, either will be very
materially injured by allowing rain to tall
upon it after being cat aud before stncki,
or by exposing il too long to the sun.
