THAT TIDAL WAVE. The great "tidal
wave" which some papers have evolved
from their inner consciousness as to take
place on October 9th, and have credited to
Agassiz as prediction, as creating quite
as much interest on some parts of our At
lantic coast as the second advent prognoSti-
cations of Cummings and Miller. It is
now less than month to the time when
this great rush of waters will be upon US
from Florida to Maine and it is high time
we were making preparations to receive it.
On another similar occasion, namely, the
first great deluge, our ancestor. Noah, had
a warning of many years. Considering,
therefore, the extent of the expected flood
our notice is very short one. According
to the alleged calculations of the learned
professor, this wave is to sweep the whole
Atlantic coast, ito the height of fifty feet
or more, on the night of the fifth or the
morning of the sixth of October We
should think some folks along the shore
would be likely to get wet, under the cir
cumstances. viii not the great deep give
up" much that is buried beneath its turbid
waters on the occasion? What is to be the
effect upon the harbor of Baltimore, es-
pecially jones falls and our odoriferous
basin? Will the basin give up the mystic
rious and gaseous deposits which cover its
Shiny bottom to the extent of four or five
feet, and thus save the cost of much mud
machine operations during the winter If
so, let the tidal wave come right along

Pasture for Pigs,

The Prairie Farmer, in answering
the query of I correspondent, says:
If you turn your pigs into a good
clover pasture, or, in the absence of
such one, pasture of mixed gras-
ses, they will require little ofany 9TH
er food than that which they can pro-
cure by grazing from the time other
stock are turned out till you can ma
ture a crop of corn. Of course they
must be well supplied with water, and
they will require salt the same as 9TH
er kinds of stock. The most econ
omical way of disposing of skinned
milk, ordinarily, is to feed it to stock
hogs.
Many of our best swine raisers pre-
fer to summer their pigs on grass
alone, with the exception Of the ar
ticles we have mentioned. believing
that the animals are not OILY more
cheaply kept in that manner, but that
they are much more healthy. Where
it is not convenient to fence in an in
closure for hog pasture, it is com
paratively easy matter to soil them
during the summer. If this is done.
the green food that is fed to them
should be raised very near the yard
where the hogs are kept, to save the
expense of moving it. Glover and
timothy. or, in fact, any Of the quick
growing grasses, may he used to good
advantage for this purpose. Orchard
grass is said to be relished by hogs,
and it will bear cutting as often as
once month.

Nor a PARALLEL CAsE.-On one
of the marches of the Army of the
Potomac through Virginia, the horse
of a well Known chaplain of New
York regiment played out" and was
left at the side of the road, soon after
which the dominic espied fne-look-
ing animal grazing in field near the
road. 1t required but few minutes
time to transfer the saddle, ETC.. to
his back, and mounting him, he was
riding out on to the road, where he
met a United States quartermaster,
when the following colloquy ensued ;
Where are you going with that
horse?'
Going with him? Why, I'm 60
ing to ride him, of course" said the
chaplain.
but you don't mean to say that
you're going to steal him, do you"
Certainly not, but my own horse
has given out, and we are in the enc
my's country, and"
'Oh, that's very we'll, but my duty
as an A. Q. ~, compells me to take
possession of him; besides, | don't
think it locks very we'll for a chaplain
to be stealing a horse, if his own has
given out "
but, my dear sir" said the chap
lain, "dont you remember that on a
certain occasion our Saviour COM
manded one of His deciples to sad
die and bring him an ass, that he
might ride into Jerusalem -
"Yes, | know all about that. but
this isn't a parallel case, sir; you
amt our Soaviour, we're not going
to Jerusalem, and that animal amt a
jackass, SO you can get right down off
his back, just as quick as you please"
The argument of the quartermas-
ter was too powerful. and an uncon-
ditional surrender of the same was at
once made, the poor parson having
to jog along on foot as best he might.

how to Raise Sweet Potato Plants or Slip.
Now is the time to prepare the

sun fall the whole day: on the south
side of a building or close fence is the
best situation. The bed may be OF
any size II should be according to the
number Of plants required. a bushel
of potatoes will produce from three
to FIVE thousand plants. Make
frame of boards the same as for a
hot-bed. This can be placed on the
surface of the ground, as there is not
tauch danger from freezing ut this
season, but it is better to sink it in
the ground. the same rs a hot-bed
frame. Put horse manure fresh from
the stable, into the bed to the depth
of sir or eight inches, we'll trodden
down. cover this with sandy soil two
or three inches deep; do not use soil
that retains water long time, rs that
is apt to cause the potatoes to rot, es-
pecially when they are split. Before
putting on the earth the manure may
be sprinkled with moderately warm
water, to cause fermentation to begin
sooner. The bed should then be COW
cred up about twenty four hours, By
-:hich time the manure has com.

manure. and if it is warm it is ia
condition to receive the potatoes.
If they are large, they should be split
lengthwisc, laying the cut side down.
They may be placed so near as almost
to touch each other. Then cover
abrut three i@cces deep with fine,
friable, rich soil.
The bed should be kept covered al
night and during cloudy or wet w.lth
or, both before the potatoes have
commenced sprouting and after the
sprouts are up. Ifyon have no sash,
use boards and place them so as to
shed the rain like a roof. Until the
potatoes begin to sprout they should
be kept damp. but not wet; keeping
them wet will cause item 10 rot
One cold or soaking rain would stop
fermentation for a time, IeaviI Q the
ground cold. which would rot the po-
tatoes even .fter having sprouted.
Vixen the sprouts begin to push above

use moderate warm water, ard il
too forward, keep dry, to retard theil
growth. When the plants are ready
to transplant, with finger of the lefl

GREELY OUTDONE. - Some hard
tales have been told Of the illegibili-
ty of Mr. Greely's manuscript. but
the following beats it, decidedly. A
reporter who interviewed Murat Hal
stead, recently, gives the following
account of a portion of the CONVEX
sation:
Rcnorter-"If you would not think
it an impertinent question. Mr.. Hal
stead, should like to know if Wash.
Mclean ever did really send you
written challenger
Mr. HaIstead-'I do think it
most internally impairment question
but still, as 50 many untruthlul sto-
ries have been published in regard to
that matter. 1 have no objection to
giving you the correct version of the
affair. The challenge was sent, but
Mclean let Bloss. the assistant edi
tor Of the ENQUIRER, write it for him.
Now BloSs, or BlOssy, as he is called
for shOrtness, writes such an infa-
mouSly bad hand that there are only
two men in this country who can read
his manuscript and neither O. these
is BIoss. The note, in IN ENQUIRER
envelope, was left in the counting
room, where nobody could make any
thing either of the address or the con-
tents. So it was sent up stairs to the
composing room and put into the
hands cf one of our oldest compost
tors, who is considered an expert in
the art of deciphering illegible manu-
script. This man, who will never
acknowledge himself beat, after due
deliberatiOn, pronounced it TO be an
advertisement of a cheese factory
for sale somewhere in Lorain county,
with an order to insert it every other
day for two weeks and charge the bill
to the ENQUIRER. This compositor
set up the adyertis ement from Blossy's
manuscript, and no one suspected
| but it was right until the end Of the
month, when the bill for It's insertion
was sent to the ENQUIRER Office ard
repudiated. An investigation brought
out the true facts of the case, but of
course it would have been the hight
of absurdity to take any notice of a
challenge which had been published
for two weeks as an advertisement OF
a cheese factory"

1t was first proved in the use of the
Jersey bull, which transmitted the

has often been shown since, and may
be regarded as we'll settled. And it
is a practical point of so much impor-
lance that it ought TO be kept con-
stantly in mind by the breeders Of
dairy stock No doubt both animals
should be good of their kind. but the
bull should be derived from a milking
stock, or come from COW remark

A disregard of this rule has often
led to unexpected failure. and hence

We have known many instances
where farmers have gone to great ex-
pense OF time und labor to raise the
calf from some favorite COW without
regard to the quality of the bull that
