THE LANGUAGE OF DIPLOMACY. Prince
bismarck. according to Gaignani, has just
met with check. He had undertaken to OBJ
tain the adoption by foreign powers of Ger
man as the language of negotiations. lie had
not hitherto endea Vorcd to impose it officially.
but had confined himself to semi.Ofllclal pro-
positions by hls agent. lie had Just himself
commenced the struggle. lie sent note in
German to Prince GOrtschakOiT, who replied
in Russian. AS the Emperor Williams prime
minister does not understand that language,
he had to send for translator, and the
opposition journals of Berlin state that he was
so much irritated at the result OF his expert
ment.

A Wholesome Drink.

The excessive use of cold water
during the excessive heat of the
summer often results in serious and
alarming illness. 1t is therefore ad-
visablc that some beverage should
be substituted for it, of which those
oppressed can partake with safety.
For this purpose, we are aware of
no better or more refreshing drink
than the following: Take the best
white Jamaica gingerroot, carefully
bruised, two ounces; cream OF tar
tar, one ounce; water, six quarts.
TO be boiled about five minutes,
then strained. To the strained liq-
uor add one pound of sugar, and
again place it over the fire; keep it
we'll stirred till the sugar is perfect
ly dissolved, and then pour out in
to an earthcn vessel, into which
you have previously put two
drachms of tartaric acid and the
rind of one lemon, and let it remain
till the heat is reduced to a luke
warm temperature; then add tea
spoonful of yeast, stirring them well
together, and bottle for use. The
drink will be in high perfection in
four or FIVE days. This is very
refreshing and wholesome beverage
and one which may largely partak-
en- of without any unpleasant results
even in the hottest weather.

Do Pairs Benefit Farmers?

Yes sir! just after the fatigues
of Il laborious season we come to-
gether, wives, daughters, and all, to
spend a few days in visiting and
getting acquainted with each other
and having an old fashioned har-
vest jubilee-that pays; next, to try
and improve the stock in our coun-
ty, which we have done-and that
pays; and give our good wives and
daughters chance to show their
skill in fancy-work, or in fixing up
things for the culinary department,
fit to tempt the palate of lordly man
thereby proving that they are de-
serving of becoming the worthy
partners Of the best men and that
pays; or to go back home, feeling
jolly and good-natured, without a
cent in your pocket, but fully de-
termined to beat somebody next
time-and that pays. But for Il
very small part of a man to go and
take a great bull and show him as n
ful.-blood and get beat-then you
don't get pay; or to 60 intending to
take all the premiums and get none,
and then go home mad, feeling rs
though your friends were on the
other side-that won't pay; or to go
to q fair believing that you are the
centre of attraction, and to find 9th
ers there more popular than you are,
that won't pay Western Rural.

makes picture of order and neat
ness most pleasing. Our friend is
quite sure that by his PLAN as he
fondly calls it, he really saves time;
and that it does not take near as long
as where one does not know where
to nail, but has to spend half the
time in hunting for an opening.
And we believe this the more readi-
ly because we know that those peo-
pie who, in any walk of life, habit
uate themselves to order and method
always get through more work than
those who have no particular sys-
TEN to live up to.
We might add that in the fall of
the year he cuts away every alter
nate cane to near it's starting point.
1t then makes another one, which
bears next year. The one not cut
is of course tho fruit-bearing one
for the time being.
There has been many "systems"
of pruning and training grape vines
given in books, all with more or
less merit; but many of them require
more brain and time to master than
they arc worth, or least than most
people have to give. But this is
very simple and easy for any to I'M
derstand. Germ Dnto,cn Tel.

Breaking Colts to BIT and Harness,

Much may be done with young
horses in the way of cultivatlng
their good manners and forwarding
their cducation-or breaking as it
is usually termed-before the aid of
the colt breaker is required. Foals
should be accustomed to familiar
tiles, fondling and usage from their
birth; and if that kind of treatment
is continued as they grow up, they
will occasion very little trouble
when the time arrives for them to
be broke. Before the operation is
commenced, it is desirable that
bit should be placed in the young
animals mouth. Amy plain snaflie
OF sufficient substance answers the
purpose. There should not be any
reins attached to it; it should be
merely suspended by the head piece.
This may be adjusted by any quiet,
good naturcd person, to whose care
the young creature is entrusted, and
may be left on from one to two
hours daily. A loose box, howell,
or small yard is the most suitable
place for the purpose.
1t is a very bad custom, though u
very prevalent one when a horse is
first bitted, to make use of relns
which are drawn tight.
A colt breaker, when employed,
should therefore be cautioned
against it, for it will cause the pu-
pill to contract habit of leaning on
the bit, and probably create a one
sided mouth. By such treatment
many colts will take a position in
one corner of the box or howell, and
there stand and sulk; whereas if the
bit be used as recommended they
will champ and play with it freely,
thereby producing that scnsibility
of mouth which is essential to 1u-
ture protection.
Breaking to harness may be con-
sidered necessary with such horses
as are adapted for carriages; and
their services after they are three
years old may be advantageously
called into rcquisition on the farm.
Their first introduction should new
cr be to noisy, heavy cart. The
plan that l have adopted with IN
variable success has been to put the
harness on so that the animal may
become quite familiar with it in the
stable, after which I have a cord
attached to each trace. The horse
is then led out by an assistant and
another man with the cords in his
hands offers slight resistance as
the animal moves forward; by this
initiation the alarm frequently &C.
casioned by the pressure of the col
lar against the shoulders is avoided,
as the man who holds the cords can
instantly relax them if necessary.
After two or three lessons of this
kind, neither trouble or danger
need be apprehended IN putting
the animal to any employment cal
culatcd for the advancement of his
education in the art of drawing

Intelligent Farmers.

1t is enormously supposed by
many thas it does not require very
large amount of intelligence to con-
stitute good farmer. If the whole
business consisted in turning over
just so many acres-planting or
sowing, rcaping or threshing just
such quantity, and this was the
end Of his duty, it would be quite
different But farming is now be-
coming a science. 10 judge Of the
adaptability of certain crops to a
particular kinds of soil; to prepare
for the effects of certain seasons
and weather, to automatically
study out the relative value of GER
tain crops in home and foreign mar
kets; to solve the probable value at
some future time of specific arti
Gle, in view Of the supply; to fore
cast the safety of Il crop Of grain,
roots, meat, stock, dairy products,
wool, fruits, &C.; to solve the great
questions of financial and political
economy, as to the probable price
Of any one article in case of finan-
cial changes or political revolu-
tons; to know how and where to
market; to correctly decide from
private and public statistical tables
what articles will have a surplus
and what a deficiency; to grapple
with these and thousand other
questions, and to contend suct ess-
fully in trade and traffic with the
worlds most shrewd men; if all
these questions and duties require
but little talent, then anybody can
be a farmer. But these questions
have to be met, and these intricate
problems have to be solved, or the
tiller Of the soil will be the mere
servant Of the sharp tradesman, or
the dishonest middIeman. No!
Farming requires greater diver
sity of talent, more close investiga-
ton of cause and effect, a more in
tense wrestling with thought, and
closer application to business than
any other occupation of man. The

The Largest English Farm.

The largest farm in England con-
sists Of 5000 acres, and belongs to
a man with the Yankee name of
Samuel Jones. In it's cultivation he
follows the "four course" system,
the whole extent of the farm being
divided into four great crops-75O
acres of wheat, $50 to barley and
oats, $50 to seeds, beans, peas, etc.,
and $50 to roots. His live stock is
valued as follows: Sheep, $35 900;
horses, $4,000; bullocks, $4,000;
pigs, $4,000. The oil cake and corn
purchased annually amount to $780,
900, and the artificial fertilizers
about $4,000. The entire cost of
manure, in various forms used is
annually about $4,000. Sheep are
claimed as the most profitable stock
he keeps, from which are realized
about $4,000 a year. His income
from the whole farm, though not
stated, can be little less than $780,
900 per annum.

Training Grape Vines.

1t is pleasant thing to note that
in farm and garden operations atten'
ton is more freely given to display
ing little taste in the arrangement
of ones work than formerly. No
one wants to see convenience sacri-
feed entirely to beauty. AT least
no one in this part of the world, fer
we believe we did once note pro-
ject was popular in. Boston to make
the public streets and roads wind
ing, because the curve was the
line of beauty. But it is a good
thing always to aim at neatness,
even at some effort, for it not only
adds great deal to the enjoyment
oflife, but cultivates a disposition
to do things well, which generally
ends in pecuniary profit as well as
mental pleasure.
This idea occurs just now in view
of the practice of one of our friends
with the grape vines on his frame
barn. In almost all cases where they
are grown in this way, the branches
are tackled in anyhow or anywhere,
wherever a place is open. This
sort of random way is taught sol
diers when Indian tighting-"wher-
ever you see head, hit it," In
this case there is just place for ev-
cry shoot, and every shoot finds its
place. The way it was done was
thus: after the vine was year or
two planted in the centre of the
garden end of the barn-the vine
was pruned back and thus made to
throw out three strong branches;
two of these branches were then led
along, one in each direction, about
a foot from the ground, horizontally.
The other was nailed straight up to
about twelve feet from the other
one, when it was headed off. The
next year two branches were taken
laterally from the top of this one,
each branch diverging as before.
Thus there is space Of about
twelve feet between the spreading
branches above and those near the
ground. When the new growth
pushes, tacks are driven just under
the upper "arms'' and '.just above
the lower arms" about one one foot
apart, and strings are fastened on
Just as is so often done for morning
glories before the cottage-door.
The vines take hold of these strings
and go straight up, and the whole

What Trees Show.

The Canada Farmer says forest
trees and indigenous plants may be
regarded as opponents Of the physic-
al condition of the soil, rather than
of its chemical composition. A
soil, on which the oak, hickory and
tulip, or yellow poplar are the prin-
cipal trees of the native forest, is
most suitable for the growth of
wheat. Maple and beech produc-
ing soil is better adapted to spring
or summer crops, such as barley,
corn and potatoes. The adoption
of "white oak soil' to winter wheat,
and the beech and maple to spring
crops, shows that it is the physical
condition that determines the fit
ness of the soils for cultivated
crops; for we have only to bear in
mind that winter wheat, barley, oat
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1873-07-25

and corn are identical in compo-
sition. In both vrrieties of soil the
chemical constituents which are
necessary to the growth of beech,
maple, oak, poplar and hickory,
wheat, barley, corn and potatoes
are present, but the physical con-
dition or mechanical texture of the
two is different.
