5AU,G CLOVER SEED.-The second
-r8p u' clover is the one that is saved
for seed. When the heads are suffi-
ciently ripe-which can be ascertaired
bT rubbing lew IN the hand and hulling
them-the crop may be cut either with
scythe or mower. In the latter case a
sheet spread upon two or three fingers
attached to the cutting bar will gather
the heads, and a boy following with a
hay rake will collect them into bunch,
which, when it is sufficiently large, he
rakes off on to the ground. 1t is there
left to cure. As the crop is of no ac-
count for hay, it may be exposed to the
weather safely for a few days, and if
wet by a rain and dried again it will
thrash out all the more easily. The
seeds is separated from the pods by a
clover huller, and is cleaned from the
chaff by the common farming mill.
Where proper attention IS given to this
crop, the seed is much more valuable
than the hay, and We are asked to believe
by some well-known and very reputable
agricultural chemists that the soil is in
4 better condition after taking crop of
clover seed than it would be if it had
not been grown at all

WASHING FOR RooPs AND BUTLDINGs.
-Slake lime in close box to prevent
the escape of steam, and when slaked,
pass it through sieve. In every six
quarts of this lime, add one quart OF
rock salt and one gallon of water. After
this boil and skim clean. To every five
gallons of this, add by slow degrees,
three-qrarters of pound of potash and
four quarts of fine sand. Coloring mat
ter may be added if desired. Apply
with a paint or whitewash brush.
This wash looks as well as paint, and
is as durable as slate. 1t will stop small
leaks in roofs, prevent the moss from
growing over and rotting the wood,
and render it incombustible from sparks
falling in it. When applied to brick
work it renders the bricks utterly i'm
pervious to rain it endures as long as
paint, and the expense is mere trife.

RAPID PICKING OF MEAT.-The fol-
lowing is an English recipe Roll the
meat in a mixture of 1G OF. salt, ! OF.
saltpeter, and OF. sugar, so that all
parts may be completely salted then
wrap closely in piece of cotton cloth
previously well scalded and dried, and
place in porcelain or other vessel
The cloth is essential with small pieces,
to retain the brine formed in contact
with the meat. After about 16 hours,
however, some brine will Grain off into
the bottom of the vessel, and it will be
necessary then to turn the meat, still
wrapped up, daily. A piece of six
pounds, treated in this way for six days,
then unwrapped and boiled, will be
found quite palatable and sufficiently
picked. For larger quantities the
cloth may be dispensed with, since the
brine formed will be sufficient to cover
the mass, provided the pieces are closely
packed, and any unavoidable cavities
filled with stones.

from Irish potatoes in that respect.
Small ones will cook in fifteen minutes,

them with fork nor break them open.
Serve as soon as they are done, in a COW

before serving, let them remain in the
oven with the door open. When cold,
if not overdone. they can be made quite
palatable by warming again in the oven.

How TO Cook BEEFsrEAK.-A beef
steak is always best broiled; but the
following method is recommended by
lady writer, when broilng is not con-
venient. "The frying pan being wiped
dry, place it upon the stove to become
hot. In the meantime, the steak-if it
chance to be sirloin so much the bet
ter-pepper and salt it, then lay it on
the hot pan, which instantly cover as
soon as possible When the raw flesh
touches the heated pan, of course it
seethes and adheres 10 it, but in a few
seconds it becomes loosened and juicy.
Every half minute turn the steak, but
be careful to keep it as much as possi-
ble under cover When nearly done lay
small piece of butter upon it, and if
you want much gravy, add teaspoon
full of strong coffee. This makes the
most delicious, delicately broiled steak,
full of Juice, yet retaining the healthy,
beefy flavor that any John Bull could
require. The same method may be ap-
piled to mutton-chops or ham-only
they require more cooking to prevent
them from being rare, An excellent
gravy may be made by adding a little
cream, thickened by pinch of -four,
into which, when off the fire and par
tally cool, stir the yolk of an egg well
beaten.

A ROLLER, exhibited and tested at the
Royal Society's Show, consists of three
sections, the novelty being that the
central section, instead of being on a
line with the other two, is placed in
front, so that it answers as a steering
wheel. In the axle between the two
rear sections there is double joint, so
as to admit of their adapting themselves,
as they move, TO Irregularities of sur
face. The sections are made of iron,
with solid sides, so that they can be
filled with water, if it is desired to in
crease their weight.

Scientific.

TIE ART OF INvESTINa.- per.
sons suppose that the capability of In.
venting is wholly natural gift, but
such is not the case. 1t is Just as much
an acquired art as any other profession.
In order to insure success as an inventor
it is necessary for the student to &c
through school of inventive studies
and to confne his productions to a par.
ticular class. If a mechanical inventor
| lie must understand mechanical move
ments and powers, as well as metals and
| timber and how to work them. He must
study the relation between causes and
results, he must acquire knowledge oi
drafting, and must learn what has beer
accomplished in his particular line.
1t is true that some wonderful inyen-
! tions have been made by persons en-
tirely unacquainted with the particular
branch in which they were working, but
such instances are rare. The more ex-
tended the knowledge which the artisan
possesses, the more likely is he to make
a valuable improvement. But constant
and unceasing study is entirely unneces-
sary; in fact it tires out the mind
which, like the fatigued body. must
have rest before it can successfully pur.
sue its laborious journey. III, there.
! fore, the mind becomes weary and con-
fused, it is better to drop the subject
| for time and take it up again.

a revolving mast geared into the paddle
wheels in order to propel his ship

our friend, "that feed mill is ON terra

Many hundreds of men have labored
at models and expected to make for
tunes by running an overshot or breast
wheel in dead pond by causing it tc
pump up its own water, and by similar
Impossibilities.
The educated inventor will never run
into such wild cat schemes. But as he
/ becomes more and more acquainted
with the arts and sciences, he will find
that every step forward must be di.
rected to practical result and at last,
when his life's work is done, he will see
that all he has gathered will be only a

CARE OF OLD SHEEP.-1t is a very
common thing among farmers who keep
sheep to have a lot of old rundown
ewes which are either let die during the
winter or are sold for mere trifie. In
my practice it has been an object with
me TO avoid either of these. BY sorting
out such as present rundown appear
ance, or show signs of old age, and
putting them by themselves, with a
little grain being fed during the early
fall months, they can be got into good
condition for wintering, and by being
fed little extra may be made fit for
the butcher by shearing time. II this
course is pursued from year to year it
will be great help toward improving
the flock, besides amply repaying for
all the trouble and expense incurred.

THE ANTEBUTLER BUSINESS.

A very quaint comment on the manner in
which the Republican press of Massachusetts
was treating the Butler candidacy O few weeks
ago, was the solemn assembly of respectables
in Boston ON Friday to concert measures to
defeat the aspirations of the Essex County
statesman. The TRIBUNE's statement some.
time ago that the candidacy was formidable,
and that there was very fair prospect of Mr..
Buffers success, excited the derision of the
respectables, while the calm philosophy with
which the probable event was considered
as being on the whole quite logical
and in the natural order stirred some
of them to hasty and unkind remarks. They
said as VIII be remembered, that there was
no danger whatever, scarcely even posi-
bility of it that Butlerism was altogether on
the surface and had no real strength, and
that when it came to the test of vote in the
Convention it would be seen how ridiculous
were the representations of his success.
That THE TRIBUNE should be content with
such cOnsummatiOn was attributed to It's
natural depravity and a malicious desire for
the destruction of the Republican party.
That Butlerism is on the surface is true
enough; that it has no strength and is not
formidable is a delusion. The respectables
have discovered it this year just as they did
two years ago, after they had pOOh-poohed it
and talked in the same-large, airy way about
the absurdity of it. The Worcester man who
said there was ono need of any scare; three
Republicans out of four are opposed TO
Butler; but the trouble is the three
"men don't go to caucuses and the
Fourth always does" described the stu
alton accurately. Twenty-Five out of every
hundred of the voters in party carry great
deal Of strength-if they happen to be the
twenty-five that attend caucuses-and Mr..
Buffers men are that kind for they either
hold or want Offices, and the caucus is the
natural atmosphere of such. The hundred or
more respectable Republicans, represent
ing different sections of the State, who
came together last week to discuss the
prospect seriously are convinced that fhere is
danger of hlr. Buffers nomination, and that
organization, system, and unusual labor and
effort are required to prevent it, Judge Hoar

LOUISI1N4 FINANCIERING.

The Kellogg Government in Louisiana has
lust distinguished itself by a characteristic
financial operation. We may appropriately de-
scribe it as a public confession Of bankruptcy,
accompanied by disregard of the rules which
are usually enforced in the distribution of a
bankrupt's property. According to the report
of the Louisiana State Auditor for the year
ended December 81, 1872, there were in exist
ence 81 0S7,5O0 of warrants on the Treasury
which had not been paid by the State. We
do not know in what amounts warrants have
been issued during the current year, but we
should judge quite extensively. 1t seemed
good, however, TO the State Auditor, Mr..
Charles Clinton, who had received about
$1OO,OOO in cash from the tax collector Of Baton
Rouge parish, to sell the money at auction to
the creditors of the State. He decided that
no other warrants should be received in pay
ment for the money than those issued in 1873,
thereby making an unfair discrimination
against the holders of the S1,9S7,5OO of
due bills issued in previous years. The
reason for this unjust discrimination
is not apparent, considering that at the date
of the Auditors last report there was due the
State nearly eight million dollars for unpaid
taxes Furthermore the taxes of 1872 amounted
to S4687,662, sum amply sufficient to meet
the honest expenditures Of the State 1t is
pretty certain, however, to fall short of cover
ing both honest expenditures and stealings.
The auction was duly held on the 18th Of
July, and one Mr.. Hyams was the highest
bidder He offered to pay 81 ~ in warrants
of the Auditor Of the State of Louisiana of
Al, fnr in
course the other creditors have nothing else
TO do but wait for the next auction. 1t will
also suggest itself to the reader that he who
has obtained warrants for which no adc-
quate service was rendered can afford TO
sell out his claim cheaper than the
honest creditor who has rendered value
for value. Auditor Clinton, in his annual re-
port has compared this demoralizing operation
to the purchases of fve-twenties by the Gov
ernment of the United States, giving it as his
opinion that this kind of trading would i'm
prove the credit of the State. There is no
close resemblance between the things pur-
chased The bonds of the United States which
the Assistant Treasurer buys are OBJ
The comparison would have been
more apt III lildut WIN tnt Boiu o"iSSJ DuI even
in that case the Government does not buy in
its notes in order to cancel them. There was
dishonesty in making an oyerissuo of notes,
and, though it would be beneficial to withdraw
the overssue and raise the currency TO the
value of gold, there is no injustice in selling
the surplus coin in the Treasury for the
currency of the land. But it is differ
ent with the Louisiana warrants They
New-York tribune., 1873-07-28


have not q value as currency, inde-
pendent of their value as an evidence
of debt, as the greenbacks have. AT the same
time we are unable TO look upon the unneces-
sary and indefinite postpOnement of specie
payments by the United States Government
as exactly honest still there is difference
between that and the employment by bank
rupt of his cash assets for the purchase at
auction of part of his overdue notes to the
prejudice of those held by the rest OF his
creditors.
The Treasurer of the State, Mr.. Dubuclet'
a colored man, elected as a Republican, in
1870, refused to pay warrants IN this
way. A mandamus was Immediately obtained
from Judge Hawkins, sort of New-Orleans
Barnard, commanding him to pay. Mr.. Du-
buclet, persisting in his refusal, was commit
ted to prison. Subsequently he decided to
obey the order of the court. 1t is understood
that he holds that having complied with the
order under compulsiOn, he will still have
right to appeal to the Supreme Court, which
appears to be the only tribunal in the State
of Louisiana worthy of being dignified with
the title of court Of justice.
