The Party of Reform.

The Greenville Enterprise does not on)ect
to the resolutions OF the Press Conference as
far as they 60, but thinks that some distinct
measures of reform and progress might have
been proposed. There may be time for this,
it suggests, at the meeting of the June Con-
vention. and it advises that the following
amendments to the State Constitution he
proposed:
l. That any public officer who accepts o
bribe shall be disqualified, forever thereaf-
ter, from holding Office in the State.
2. That persons convicted Of offences which
are felonies at common law, be disfranchised
and disqualified from holding Office, and that
these disquaiflcations shall not be remova-
BILE by The Governor.
g. That members of the Legislature shall
be ineligible for five years to any new office
created during their term of service in the
Legislature.
4 That the Governor should not have the
power to appoint county officers, whose elec-
ton, in all cases, should be by the people.
The Enterprise thinks that there should
also be a distinct approval of the really good
changes made in the constitution and laws
since reconstruction, and decided condem-
nation OF acts which are oppressive and in
furious. 1t also says that the repeal OF "the
"Code of Procedure should be considered,
o,,5 ebould ho nrassod nnon the attention OF
the people. Our contemporary believes that
such measures as these would enlist the ma
jority Of the voters of the State in the great
CITIZENS REFORM movement. We may re-
mark, however, that the convention itself
must determine, whether it will propose any
thing moro than the election of honest men,
or the broad platform of Retrcnchment and
Equal Rights. A simple statement OF
plain fact is, in popular canvass, the most
effective weapon Of attack and defence.

There seems to be disposition on the part OF
Great Britain TO reconcile as speedily as possible
the differences with our government growing out
OF the veXcd question of the Alabama claims.
Everything that has occurred since Grants acces-
sion to power, in the way Of diplomatic discussion
Of the subject shows very great anxiety on the
part of her Majesty's Government to arrive at q
satisfactory adjustment. Lord Clarendon, in his
correspondence with Ministers Motley and Thorn-
ton, evinces strong desire to have negotiations
reopened, and to have the claims disposed of
finally in some way or other which would not be
dishonorable to either OF the great powers. Clar-
endon, however, does not like to make the first
positive move, and Secretary Fish does not intend
to make an advance quite yet, but will adhere to
tile views expressed in his dispatch OF Septem'
Der 25. "Although the United States arc anxious
for a settlement on liberal and comprehensive
basis or ell the questions which now Interfere
with the entirely cordial relations which they de-
SIRE to exist between the two governments, they
do not now propose or desire TO set any time lor
this settlement. They will, however, be ready
whenever her Majes:y's Government shall thinH
the proper time has come for renewed negotla-
tion, to entertain any propositions which that
government shall think proper to present, and to
apply to such propositions their earnest and sin
ccre wishes and endeavors for q solution honora-
bic and satisfactory to both Countries 1t is now
lntImated that Clarendon well comprehends the
situaton,n and will soon offer some basis Of set
tlement Premier Fish is also giving the matter
his most serious attention, and it is said the sub
ject will be laid before the cabinet early in the
present week.

Steaming Fodder for Cattle.

THE question "does it pay ?"-asked
with reference to steaming fodder for
cows, is one which is pressed upon agri-
cultural editors with more and more force
every year. When q notable increase in
the price of hay occurs, it is all the more
important to farmers to economize in
every possible way Il few facts will
guide our readers to decision relative to
their particular cases: let. Cooked food
goes farther than that which is not cook.
ed. 1t will be within bounds to say that
it will go quarter farther. If 100 pounds
of dry hay will produce six gallons of
milk, it will produce seven and a half if
cooked. I'd. The ex ra labor required to
cook the food properly, often costs more
than the gain in the quality Of the food is
worth. Sd. The manure is worth less, in
proportion to the amount of food consum-
ed, because the food is more thoroughly
digested, and less is wasted. 4th. Cook
Ing always pays, provided it is well done,
on sufficiently large scale, and with
economical apparatus, 9TH. The best APP
plication of heat is usually by means of
steam generated close at hand. 9th.
Steam may be generated economically at
q distance, and the cooking be done at the
barn, provided the steam is either used
for some other purpose near where the
boiler stands, or very large quantity
is employed for steaming feed. z. Dan
ger from fire is q serious consideration.
Actual fires, or narrow escapes, have oc-
CURED on most farms where cooking by
steam has been introduced. Care in put.
ting up the apparatus, and vigilance in its
use are the only security against fire.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Country Gen
HeRlaR planted a few acres of turnips
which were large enough to begin to feed
the first week in July, when they were
fed to pigs, and no other feed given until
the last week in September. No lot of
pigs could have done better, growing and
keeping in good condition all the while.
AT recent discussion in Iowa, Mr. Ar
/ thur Bryant, of Princeton, Ill, an expert
enced fruit-grower said that he consider
ed September and October the most suit
able months for pruning. Spring was the
worst season for pruning, for then the loss
OF the sap lessons the sugar of the tree.
Trees which bear heavily one year are
especially subject TO blight the next. He
had no faith In DR.. HulPs theory of root
pruning as a specific for blight.
THE Gardners' Monthly says that some
persons think that as the hemlock is a
large forest tree, it cannot be kept down
as a hedge plant: but summer pruning
will keep the strongest tree in dwarf
condition for number of years. The
pruning has to be done just after the
young growth pushes out, which gener-
ally is about the end of May. 1t is very
important the hedge should be cut with
9lOpluB bluCo, 81 bAAdt OVGIy DdIb OI Lno
surface should have the full benefit of the
light. A hedge with upright sides OF a
square top, will not keep thick at the
bottom long. 4 I'iIF fI... r.
AN Ohio hog raiser advocates the sys-
tenn of pasturing on clover during the
summer. He presents, as the advantage
OF this plan, the statement that an acre of
ground in clover will pasture five hogs
four months, and that it will take the
corn from half an acre to feed them the
same time. The cultivation of the corn
he counts equal TO the rest of the other
half acre. He further claims that hogs
pastured on clover are in far better con.
dition than II fed on corn, as they are bet.
ter framed, healthier, and eat better; and
also states that the land is enriched by
the clover pasturing, r.. EFHsfrl
NAMES, addresses, etc, may be printed
on fruits, by cutting from tough, thin pa,
per the words proposed. This is pasted
upon the side OF the specimen most fully
exposed to the sun. That portion of the
fruit covered by the paper will assume a
different color from the rest of the fruit.
When the fruit is ripe the paper is remoy.
ed, leaving the name distinctly visible.
Upon squashes and melons names may be
inscribed by tracing the letters with a
sharp pointed instrument wounding or
puncturing the skin; over each incision a
little projection of the skin or pimple will
grow forming the required letters OF

A CORRESPONDENT of the N. e Farmer
writes: Not long since, heard man
say that canker worms would not live
among pine trees. The idea was new 10
me, but on looking around within the
circle lof my knowledge, I cannot disprove
it. In a town adjoining Beverly, where
the canker worm eats very badly, there ID
a pine tree withstwo apple trees standing
very near it, and while all the apple trees
| IN that vicinity were almost entirely
stripped; those near the pine were un'
touched. l have made frequent inquiries
and have not found man who ever saw
canker worms in the immediate vicinity
Of pine trees.
BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION.-I Colorado
lands which were thought heretofore tC
| be worthless have, been reclaimed by ir-
rigation, and now produce from forty to
sixty bushels of wheat per acre. BY
superior cultivation land has yielded
eighty bushels of wheat per acre, hun
dred bushels of oats, over hundred
and fifty bushels of corn in the ear
FIVE hundred bushels of potatoes per acre
and other products in proportion. With
out irrigation the land is worthless, ex
cepting Immediately on the banks o.
streams. There are 100000 acres of lane
in Colorado which can be irrigated &C
ccrding TO government estimates.
New METHOD OF STARcHINa.-A
method of starching articles of linen, fax
cotton, ETC., lately patented in France
consists in bringing them for short tint
incontact with sulphuric acid, diluted will
one-fourth to one third its bulk of water
and allowed to cool; or in immersins
them in concentrated solution of chloride
ofzinc, and Immediately washing them
out In water. For the purpose of remov
ing all the acid with certainty, ammonil
may be applied afterward. The fabric, il
this way, is not only starched thoroughly
but thereby is made to receive the color
ing matter in dyeing or stamping much
more readily and permanently, and show
a brighter impression with a less. amour
