AMERICAN nurserymen generally bud
trees in the following order, beginning
with each when the bark separates
freely from the wood: Plums, cherries,
apricots, pears, apples, ounces, and
peaches. When one is anxious to fruit
in short time new variety, piece of
the young wood with three or four eyes
may be beveled on one side and insert

carefully done the graft will grow, and,
if circumstances favor, produce fruit in

true summer fallow is preparing LAM

Wheat to Bring a High Price.


Mr.. Joseph Harris, OF New York, |
who has long been known as an intelli-
gent writer upon matters pertaining to
agricultural affairs, offers the following,
through the columns of the New York
Tribune
81 have contended ever since last
harvest, that wheat would bring high
price this summer. based my opinion
principally on the fact that Mr.. Lawes's
experimental field showed that the
wheat crop of England was decidedly
below the average, and that consequent
ly there would be an active demand for
export. | know, too, or | think l
know, that our surplus is rarely as large
as is estimated. Our population is rap
idly increasing. Taken as a whole, we
are the most active and industrious peo-
pie in the world. just now, especially,
there is great demand for labor. We
work hard, get high wages, and require
and will have abundance of good food.
An man earning his $1.75 or 81 day on
| a railroad can afford t. eat bread from
| the best wheat -four. Few of us realize
how much wheat 100000 of people
will eat in 365 days. Just after harvest
every year, Uuo ullllcis, npoCUldtOio .;
railroad bulls, and newspaper CORE
spondepts all unite to exaggerate the
yield of the wheat crop. Wheat may
not bring a price equal to the actual
cost of production but no matter, far
mers are urged to sell, and when wheat
is low we are all more inclined to sell
than when it brings high price. Last
fall we sold freely, and large quantities
were shipped abroad; and as soon as
the surplus was got rid of, and the re-
naming wheat was in the hands OF
those able to hold, up 60 prices to a
point far higher than the price abroad
would warrant, We sell our wheat to
the English at less than the cost of pro
duction, and make our own consumers

The Old Mans Funeral.

Wv. G. BRYANT.
I saw an Sged man upon his bier,
His hair was thin and white, and on his brow
record Of the cares of many year,
Cares that were ended and forgotten new.
And there was sadness round. and faces bowed.
And womans tears fell fast, and children walled
aloud.
Then rose another hoary man and said,
In faltertng accents. to that weeping train.
Why mourn ye that our aged friend Is dead?
- fe are not lad TO see the gathered grain,
Nor when the mellow fruit the orchards cast.
Nor when the yellow woods shake down the
ripened mast.
Ye sigh not when the sun, his course fulfilled.
His glorious course rejoicing earth and sky,
In the soft evening. when the winds are stilled.
Sinks where his islands of refreshment lie.
And leaves the srile of his departure spread
Ger the warm coiored heaven and ruddy noun
tain head.
Why weep ye then for him. who. having won
The bound of mans appointed years. at last
Life's blessings all enjoyed life's labors done,
Serenely to his final rest has passed;
While the soft memory of his virtues. yet
Lingers like twilight hues. when the bright sun
is set?
His youth was innocent his ripper age,
Marked with some act of goodness. every day:
And watched by eyes that loved him. calm and
sage,
Faded his late declining years away
Cheerful he gave his being up. and went
To share the holy rest that waits life well spent
That life was happy: every day he gave
Thanks for the fair existence that was his:
For sick fancy made him not her slave
70 mock him with her phantom miseries.
No chronic tortures racked his aged limb,
For luxury and sloth had nourished none fol
him
And I am glad that he has lived thus long.
And glad that he hes gone to his reward:
Nor deem that kindly nature did him wrong,
Softly to dsengage the vital cord.
When his weak hand grew palsied and his eye
Dark with the mists of age ii his time to die

RIGHT-HANDEDNRss is common to many
of the lower animals as well as to man,
and similar. preference for the use of
the right fooH the right eye. and In
deed the whole right side of the body,
to the neglect of the left. is frequently
noticeable. Prof. Daniel Wilson, of Uni-
versity College, Toronto, shows, by
evidence gathered from various trust
worthy sources, that the right hand has
always been the one chiefly used, and
that the Egyptians were not, as has been
asserted, a left-handed race. The cause
of this preference is yet to be explained

Senator Schurz. His perfect silence since
the Convention is significant. Feeling its

an expression from him in favor of theil
chief. 1t was reported yesterday that they
had succeeded, and that he would soon
make speech.

contradicts the story. With an air of au-

Mr.. Greeley. More than this adds the
Post, we have the best possible reasons
for knowing that it is morally impossible
for Senator Schurz to make such a speech
he cannot with dignity, honor or even
common truth support Mr.. Greeley. All
his friends throughout the country, and
his friends are the best people nit, know
how completely his dearest hopes were
defeated at Cincinnati. They know how
base thing for him would be an alliance
with those corrupt factions that treacher-
ously carried the day there In short,
knowing Mr.. Schurz to be an honorable
man, and respecting him as one who has
given ample proofs Of his devotion to duty,
they know that this rumor is an absurd in
vention.
Still further, in urging Mr.. Schurz to
declare his position, the Post says his
friends know what it is, but the public
does not This points very decidedly to
personal knowledge that Mr.. Schurz will
not support Mr.. Greeley. 1t is plain, at
all events, that he cannot support Mr..
Greeley with any heart or enthusiasm, and
that the real power of his advocacy will
certainly be lost to the Cincinnati ticket. y
Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Globe says that leading friend of
Greeley has recently. visited the silent
Senator, with what effect is not known.
1t is certain that he is in trouble, fear
ing if he supports Greeley that he will be
abandoned by the Germans. .

Governor warmosh.

George Alfred Townsend writes to the
Chicago Tribune of Governor Warmoth,
Of Louisiana, who is becoming somewhat
famous just now, as follows: %
rDFrom all that can be understood, War
moth is the most extraordinary and pre-
cocious leader in the South. He is re-
presented to be six feet three inches
high, of slender, wiry build, but with
fine Kentucky looking face, large nose,
full at the nostrils, keen, measuring eyes,
superb mustache, and well-cut brows
and chin. He is native Of Louisiana,
began public life when eighteen years
ofage, being thena fluent stump-spea ker,
and now, at twenty-eight, he is an AFRO
worth probably half million Of dollars,
of which he had accumulated more than
one hundred thousand in the practice OF
law in New Orleans. He is unmarried
is much scandalized on the marriage
point, however; makes his own game,
and is thoroughly skeptical about men,
having a pretty rough school of it in
Louisiana, where nearly all the politi-
cians-Rebel, negro and Northern-are
insincere, hollow wretches, who would
turn their backs epon him, or Grant, or
anybody, tomorrow, if they supposed
his power was growing less. Warmoth's
weaknesses are his rashness, boyishness
and 4,nplacability. He spends a short
time, in every case of difficulty, to effect
a compromise; and, this failing, he re-
solves into an enemy. and is hencefor-
ward unpacifiable. Glutted with power
at AN age when men generally are still
pouring over school books or learning
some vocation, this extraordinary
specimen of American opportuni-
ties in time Of political chaos has
already had an epic career, and
lives in much lonely life-the
loss of youth poorly compensated for by
prenature dominion. His courage, men
tai and physical, has been fully tested.
he Wi run again, and doubtless be
elected Governor of the State. The i'm
peachment project has already blown
over. He has attached Longstreet to
himself, and Longstreet is, therefore, in
peril with the Executive. Mr.. Casey,
with his thousand men and no brains,
routed at all points, seeks refuge in the
bosom of Rebel socity, and discusses
the prowess and ability Of his Presiden-
tial brother-in-law, while the Southern
exquisites laugh in their sleeves. Casey
is tall, plausible, verdant brother-in-
law, of the Dent order, who never kept
a secret for himself or anybody else.
