A DRUNKEN CONTROVERSIAL English
Captain writes in ChdmberS' journal touch
ing queer pets, that he was shipmatc with u
sailor who tanned Il cockroach and built u
cage with little kennel in the corner of il,
expressly for his unsavory pet and called
the creature Idzky, (which he named him
self, sir, he explained to me. Idzky was
giant of his race. His length was fully
four inches, and his breadth one inch
while each of his waving fcelcrs measured
six. This monster knew his name and his
masters voice, hurrying out of his kennel
when called upon, and emitting the strange
sound which gained for him the cognomcn
of ldzky. The boat-swain, his master,
was as proud of him as he might have been
of prize bug, and never tired of exhibit
ing his ecccntricitics.

Cape and inquired for his pet "Oh sir"
he said, with genuine feeling, 'he's gone,
sir. Shortly after you left the ship, poor
ldzky took to drinking too much liquor,
and that don't do for any of us, you know,
sir | suppose it was that, for | never had
the heart to put him on allowance; and he
went raving mad, had regular fits of dcliri-
um trcmens, and did nothing but run around
his cage and bark, and wouldn't look at
anything i'll the way of food. Well, one

when what would see but double line of

place; twenty or so were carrying wing,

disturb them. Poor Idzky!'

GROWING CLOVER TOO COARSE

1t is sometimes objected to clover that it
is too coarse as feed-this being the case
where it is grown on strong grotind, making
large stalk. This can be remedied by
sowing thick, and thus getting fine stem
med crop, also shorter in length, the stalks
varying from fifteen to twenty five inches,
according to the quality of the land, the
season, and whether plaster has been used;
but the point is to SOW thick from ten to
twelve quarts per acre, evenly scattered on
mellow soil and brushed in if soNn with
Spring grain. This forms close growth,
and must be cut before it lodges much,
and this is generally about the time offlow-
ering. Else if lodged badly, and permit
ted to remain for some time, 1t will par
italy rot and lose some of its quality as a
feed. But harvested in time and well
cured, there will be no deterioration of the
high value which this plant has obtained
among our best dairymen. Three tons per
acre may be thus realized; and if the season
is good one, the amount may be doubled
by two cuttings; and cover should always
be cut twice, each time at the bllssoming
period. The medium clover is earlier and
finer stemmed than the large kind, and less
apt to lodge, and always permits of two
cuttings. On poor land, clover may be
grown successfully, improving the land.
But it may be raised on the rishest of land
with the most gratifying results; only get it
Gloss so as to have it file stemmed, and cut
in time.-OhiO Farmer.

ANECDOTE OF CROCKETT.

In his day, no man was more famous in
the annals of American politics than David
Crockett, the eccentric representative from
Tennessee.
Early in the spring Of 1886, there appeared
at Nacogdoches, Texas, eleven stalwart men
who proposed to enlist for six months in
the army of the republic, and assist in
driving the Mexicans out Of the borders
and gain the independence of Texas.
Col. John Forbes, formerly of Ohio but
now living at Nscogdoches, who was at the
first "alcalde" of Texas, and afterwards
commissary- general Of the army at the bat
tie of San Jacinto, and who has filled many
important positions of honor and trust in
the State of his adoption, swore in the
eleven recruits referred to; but when he
came to that portion of the oath which con-
tanned the promised allegiance s'to the re-
public of Texas, or any other
government that might be estab-
lished," one of them advanced pace
forward and declined to subscribe
to it, for, said he, 81 am republican, and
believe in a republican form of government,
and if any other kind Of government re-
suits from this revolution, I 1ciH neither
support nor defend It," Col. Forbes, see-
ing bAoS VIC PO4hb p" 40 wen OohOb3 LthbAONs-
ately erased the Objectionable portion ard
substituted in its stead, "or any other re-
publican government that might be estab-
lished," which was satisfactory to all con-
cerned, and they were forthwith mustered
into service.
The spokesman, who would not swear ale
glance to any government save that twas re-
publican, was David Crockett, who, together
with Bowie and that brave and noble band,
was so foully and brutally murdered by the
Mexicans at the Alamo at San Antonio, Tex
as, in April, 1886, and the beautiful monu.
ment made out of the stones from the Alamo
on the portico of the State-house at Austin,
attests the love and affection in which
Crockett and the Inflated garrison at the
Alamo are held by the people Of Texas, and
we are glad after the lapse of SO many
years, to be able to publish, for the first
time, in the Republican, the sentiment ut
tered by David Crockett on bis entrance in
the "Army of Texas" that does honor to
his patriotism and should be cherished and
priced by every true American.

CLEANING SEED FOR SOWING AMI
MARKET

The !dea that ce.tain of the foul seed ia
wheat, as chess for instance, is produced by
degeneration in the changing of one variety
into another, may easily be settled by the
employment of good fan in cleaning grain.
If absolutely clean seed be soWn in soil GER
tainly known to te free from other seeds,
the product will be like the seed soWn.
One OF the great difficulties is that the soil
is constantly filled with the seeds of weeds,
brought and retained there by various lat
ural agencies; some of them like purslain,
chess, and other seeds Of persistent vitality
remaining for long time in the soil until
called into growth by favorable circum-
stances.
We will give single instance to illustrate
the point. The farmer cleans his seed
thoroughly, perhaps goes to the trouble to
pick it over, and sows it, and notHithstand-
ing this care, finds the crop, the seed of
which be thought he had so carefully gone
over, is filled with foul weeds. The chaff
or tailings from the tanning mills, were
thrown in the barnyard to be mixed with
the manure, and had been carted on the
land and perhaps ploughed deeply under, to
remain, portion o. II, in the soil for years,
perbsps, before it terminates. Or birds
may have eaten the seed and a portion, un-
digested, has been scattered on the soil.
These are but two of the more common
ways in which foul seed are disseminated
but are striking enough to account for their
spread.
As rule, those farmers who are the
most careful in cleaning their seed grains,
ard the most thorough in their cultivation.
have the fewest weeds to ccntend with; and
such are the most fully compensated in the
end for their pains. One of the most pro.
life sources Of the spread of weeds is SOW
ing directly from the threshing machine,
for however well these machines clean the
grain for market purposes, and the better
classes Of them do it admirably, still there
is no power machine that viii clean seed
in so thorough manner as 10 fit it for SOW
ing. This, however, may be accomplished
by careful cleaning by the more modern
fans, having sleeves sdspted to the various
sizes and shapes Of seeds and perfectly
controlled by the blast given. With the
use of these we have often secured large
advance over the ordinary market price, on
account of the seed being perfectly clean.
One of the most difficult seed to separate
from grain is cookie and chess, and 10 do so
thoroughly it is necessary to have proper
sleeves for separating these from the good
grain, since the specific gravity of these
seeds is very nearly that of barley, rye, and
wheat. In the case If chess, the peculiar
form OF the seed, being long like wheat and
rye, renders it especially difficult of separa-
ton. But with the modern fsns, but little
difficul will be experienced in their sepa-
ration, and the value of the seed vii be
thereby much enhanced,

HOW WESTERN FARMERS TALK.

What are we farmers to do? We can
raise plenty of grain, but we have TO give
the railroads four bushels to take one bush
Ell to market, we work from daylight until
dark, and can't get enough real money to
dress ourselves decently. We mortgage our
farms to help build competing lines OF rail-
way which promise us cheaper freights, and
as soon as finished they go, or are forced,
into combination with the former monopo-
lists. We can not afford to hire labor, and
as fast as our boys get big enough they
leave us for the cities. One of my boys is
twenty-one, and be is clerking it in the
town, getting forty dollars a month; my
next boy is eighteen, and he told me the
other day he meant to look out for place,
because there was DO ercouragement for q
young man to stay on farm, for enough
produce couldn't be raised to pay taxes,
and farmers are getting deeper and deeper
In debt every year. Well, what is left us !?
Shall we put our wives and daughters into
the field and work them like beasts, the
same as the poor ignorant foreign creatures
are which come to us from the old coun-
tries? tell you, sir, something must be
done to remedy this state of affsirs.
Something will be done; only act wisely,
and all as one man "toting" heavy timber.

BONE DUST AND SUPERPHOS
PLATES.

a correspondent of the Mark Lane Er-
press (London) has arrived at the conclu-
sion that bones are the scream of cream
as manure. One Of his conclusions, st
least, will be of interest to those living on
lands impregnated with iron:
"On pasture land In Cheshire, where he
lived seven years, he found bone manure
indispensable. In Wiltshire be found it
developed the best grasses and produced
superior heritage; it produced the best
roots, and on the wheat crop, in the shape
of supsrphosphate, it secured good stand.
He used 900 wo:th of it, and believes it
to be the beet worth q farmers attention
OF any outside manure. He found on
clay lands, impregnated with oxide
Of iron, that until the land had been lined,
the bone had no effect, but as soon as lime
was applied bone was used with success.
Finally on experimenting with it on sandy
soil, be found it perfectly useless, and even
III quantities of 700 pounds per acre ap-
piled to old pastures or young grass lands
1t had no perceptible effect during many
years."
The phosphate of iron is valueless; and in
soils where there is veIy little or no lime,
the super phosphate loses phosphoric acid
by its combining with iron. A small ex-
cess Of lime in the soil is of inestim able i'm.
portaLce as an element Of fertility.

WHEAT AND pHYsrCsb vIsow,

Nothing is more 5dfe in the chemistry
| Of life than that grest-eaters are the great
thinkers, or that the phosphorus which
wheat contains, in the outer kernel, imme.
diateiy beneath the husk, is the feeder or
brains, and the material substance which
provokes to thought, study, reason, and
all the forms Of nervous energy. There
are Psychologists who attribute the remark
| able success of States like Ohio, Indiana
| snd Illinois to the bounty and perfection
OF the wheat crop, and the intellectual slim
illus, or rather food, which il affords the
brain. Certainly no commonwealth in
the world has evinced higher sense of
law and order, or more rapid developed
social system which has hardly an equal
In the world. The constitution of Indiana,
for instance, the very center of the wheat
zone, is beyond comparison the best in
the Union, and produces the highest results
in our civilization.
There is Southern wheat belt, which
includes Australia in part, South Africa,
New Zealand, and part of South America,
where civilization equal to that OF the
central north Of the United States is grow
ing up.
But the full value of wheat as civilizsr
will never be fully realized until wheat
meal takes the place OF boited -four, and the
raople learn to make bread without yeast
or risings. Good bread is emphatically the
"staf of life;'' but the commercial ar icle
is the way to dyspepsia and premature
death.-Science of Health.

a recipe is of more value than gold to al
who have anything to do with bees.
