by the Swiss Government last night. was
attended by the President of the Republic,
members of the Federal Council, and the
entire diplomatic body of Berne. In the
speeches exchanged on the occasion, there
was a marked tone of satisfaction at the
happy conclusion of the work of the Arbitra-

the speakers said is bound to have much

two countries mere intimately concerned,
but on all civilized nations.
GENEVA, Sept. 14.-Thedecision of the Ala

award of settlement in the cases between
Great Britain and the United States, was de-

quite lengthy, concludes as follows:

Sowing Wheat.

This is one of the most important
points connected with growing winter
wheat, and one that is also greatly
overlooked. The time of sowing, of
late years, has been neglected to such
an extent that we have observed many
farmers do not get their seed in till Oc-
tober. This is wrong. In such a eli.
mate as ours it is desirable that the
wheat should have a sufficiently early
start to enable it to get we'll rooted into
the soil, and also 80 we'll grown at the
top hat when snow falls the tops will
be, when pressed down, a protection to
the roots, not only against severe frost
but also against the sunshine, should
the snow 60 off early, before the time
for Vegetation has come. The best
time, and in fact the proper time to SOW
winter wheat anywhere north of lati-
tude 400 in America, is from the 18th
of August to the 18th of September.
This is quite a wide enough range to
suit the times and circumstances of any
| farmer.
The method of sowing is important.
If all the wheat own was carefully put
in through adrill, the extra crop in the
year would nearly pay for all the drills
used. But a drill is expensive, and
what is worse, by the careless mi
in which too many farmers use and put
away their implements after the work
is done, is liable to become quickly de.
stroyed and useless. Still the fact re.
mains that if we want to grow good
crops, We must use good care and en-
terprise. Even broadcast sowing, if
carefully done on well prepared land,
and the seed properly covered after.
wards, will do very well. But the adj
vantage is with the drill in that it de-
posts and covers every seed at a uni
form depth, hence making a surety of
its hold in the soil. The saving of seed
alone by using a drill on a large farm is
of itself no small item. We have OBJ.
served this year that in every instance
where a good crop OF winter wheat has
been secured, it wa mainly due to the
fact of the seed having been drilled in.
We will not say anything here about
varieties, for that is a question every
farmer is best able to judge for himself
by observation of what succeeds best
for his own locality, or if any new sort
is to be tried, let it be done on the
recommendation only of those who
have proved it themselves to be good
and reliable.

Charles O'COnOr Declines the Bourbon
Nomination.

Mr.. O'Conor has written a letter, in
which he positively declines the nomi-
nation for the Presidency rendered him
by the Louisville Convention. He
says:
Whatever l might do in respect to
any other office, L could neither accept
a nomination or become a candidate for
the successorship to Washington. Like
many others which my taste and judg.
ment have concurred in adopting, l
know that these ideas are unfashion-
able. Every voice that has reached my
ear concurs in asserting as Gospel truth
that the Electors cannot vote for any
one but the nominee of a convention
who has accepted its nomination. So
be it. l do not pretend to subvert
established usages, but self.respect and
modesty unite in forbidding me to play,
in these days of political degeneracy,
the part of chief ~postulant III any such
drama. Some censure will no doubt
attach to this opinion itself, and still
more to the utterance of it. / have
long withheld it, and, if possible, ]
would now avoid expressing it. Many
a man, the latchet of whose shoes am
not worthy to unloose, has subscribed
to a platform and stood as a candidate.
Perhaps, however, it was in times less
corrupt. l do not suggest or believe
that any of them did anything which,
in their day and under attendant cir
~cumstances, was unbecoming. l know
also that you, my fellow-citizens, and
your highly-respected convention, has
prescribed to me no tests, but in %
formity with usages not now to be
parted from, you request me to accept a
nomination and become a candidate.

special reference to the use of the steam
pillow, writes that journal: 81 left En-
gland a few days ago. While there, tray.
cling through some OF the provinces, l
made diligent inquiry in regard to the
use of the steam pillow, but obtained very
little definite information concerning it.
All that | could learn was that it was
believed to be in use upon some of the
larger farms in the southern portion OF
England. and that the kind employed
was that in which the engine was sta.
tionary. My own impression is that the

ArbOriculture.

The great consumption of lumber,
which has so reduced the acreage OF
forest land in Maine, Michigan, and
other States OF the North and North
west, and the consequent probable
scarcity of timber at no very distant
date, has induced the Maine Legisla-
ture to pass an act to the effect that
"any landhol6er who shall plant or set
apart any cleared lands for the growth
and production of forest trees, within
ten years after the passage of the act,
and shall successfully grow and Guilt
vate the same for three years, the trees
being not less in number than 1000 on
each &C e, and well distributed over the
same, then on application Of the owner
or occupant of such lands to the assessors

To Prevent a Dog from Chasing Sheep.

Nv
A correspondent of the London Field
thus tells how he cured a dog OF chas-
ing a sheep. A large deerhound, with
not being well looked after, got into the
habit of chasing sheep, and killing
them, too, whenever he had an oppor.,
tunity. He was sharply corrected and
kept chained up for some days, but
when again taken out was as bad as
ever. Ny father happily remembered
how he had cured a larger retriver OF
the same sin five-and-thirty years before,
and we have, 1 am pleased to say, made
a perfect cure of my deerhound. After
one of his chase S he was taken up to the
sheep farm, securely tied between two
old Scotch rams, and then let loose IN
the yard. No so,ner was he let loose,
than all three, being good jumpers,
cleared the wall, and the dog was drag
ged about the park till all three were
| dead tired. The poor fellow was then
taken home, and l can assure you
"sheep chasing is now the very last
| thing of all others that he ever thinks
| of. We have a surer cure, and besides
| it does not worry the ans. 1t is hal
