THE CULTIVATION OF BULBS.

To obtain good spikes of flowers it Is
important to pot the bulbs some time
before the end of October, as they have
plenty of time for becoming we'll fur
nished with roots. They may be taken
out and placed in the forcing pit as
soon as they are nicely rooted, accord
ing as they may be required. They
must be removed from the plunge bed
before they have made much growth,
and should they accidentally remain
until the leaves are three or four inches
in length, place them in a shady posi-
ton for a week or so until the
leaves assume their natural green
color.
With reference to forcing them, it is
rather essential they should be started
rather steadily at first, and pushed on
faster as they become more accustomed
to a high temperature The most sat
isfactory results are secured by forcing
them upon bed of leaves, or mix
ture of manure and leaves made up IN
a pit where the plants Will be rather
near to the glass. When small quantl-
ties only are grown, it is not desirable
to force them at all, as, under ordinary
circumstances, with the assistance Of
the glass only, they will be in perfec-
ton in March. Where grown in large
quantities they should be had in bloom
BIS Christmas, but it is a mistake to
have them in bloom very early, unless
the stock is sufficient to maintain sue
cession of bloom until the end of the
season.-London Gardeners Magazine

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP.
Belief that Judge Williams will not be
Observation-Disclosures Facts Devel-
Oped by the Investigation.
From the New York Tribune,


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-Public
opinion in Washington has become set
tied that Judge Williams will not be
confirmed to be Chief Justice. The in
vestigation that has been made by the
judiciary Committee has disclosed
practices and facts which the commit
tee strongly condemn, and which prob
ably viii prevent favorable report.
The friends of Attorney General Will
liams are very indignant that he should
be slaughtered for doing things which
they say nearly every cabinet minister
is guilty of. If there is to be any such
close scrutiny of the expenditure of the
contingent fund in the Department of
Justice, they say let there be also an
inquiry as to the authority of law by
which other members of the cabinet
and officials Of lower rank make the
Government pay for their private car
riages and keep their coachmen and
other servants on the department rolls.
If the expenditure of the contingent
fund in all Of the departments and
bureaus was carefully investigated,
OuOlC 10 NJ uOODU uIldO RIttlO uldIJ
leaks would be discovered.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-One of the
matters considered by the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate in the case of
Williams was voucher for family
carriage of the Attorney General, from
one of the most elegant establishments
in Washington, and paid for from the
contingent fund of the department.
The committee addressed an official
note to the Treasury Department ask
ing for the original of this. Among
other vouchers, it was sent to the COM
mittee, as requested, and proved to be
as follows: washington, d. c., Jan.
Is, 1872. The United States to N. j.
Joyce, DIR. To one !andaulet for the
Department of Justice, $1,000. Re
ceived payment, A. J. Joyce" The
committee is reported as being unable
to agree upon confirmation, even if this
were the only objection presented.

CULTTvATING ORCHARD GRASS

To the lnlOn ana Aneflctn
| am not disposed I'd doubt or ques-
ton a word or suggestion that l have
ever read from your pen on the subject
of agriculture, or any other subject.
have not the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance with your Agricultural
Editor, but have been a careful reader
of the Agricultural Department of the
UNION AND AMERICAN, and think it
ably conducted. His ripe experience
and scientific acquaintance fit him for
the place which he, in my Judgment, so
ably fills. In your pleasant comment
on my note to you in the UNION AND
AMERICAN of the 18th inst. you say,
Our friend r. should remember that
Nature sows a great deal of grass seed
that grows and does well, and never
plows. harrows or rolls the land to cover
the seed" This ! know and freely ad-
nit, but does Natures mode produce,
when left alone to Nature, as uniform
results as Nature when aided by the
careful preparation of the soil
and planting of the seed
in season? ] have long since
learned that every cause has its effect,
and that 'as you plant so shall you
reap" This is law of universal ap-
plication. To labor is the common lot,
for I'm the sweat of thy face thou shall
have bread" The commandwas to the
first son of the Most High, in his high
and happy state, to dress and keep the
garden: This implied labor and
thought, but it was of most congenlal
and pleasant kind, surrounded by fruits
and flowers, and sweets of every kind,
and above all, direct communion with
Him who had created him and planted
the garden in the East of Eden, and
| filed it with ali that was pleasant to
the eve and palatable to the taste. AS
the home of the newly created. yet this
was not to be enjoyed without labor or
some kind of equivalent. Happy should
we have been if our progenitors had
proven true to their trust and kept their
| first estates. They violated, and were
cast out of that once happy home into
n land that had once been as lovely as
the garden in which they had their
home: into Il land grown upwith thorns
and briers. which required labor to
subdue and to produce that which con-
tributed to the support and secured hs
well-being in his fallen condition.
/ need not argue what you, l am
sure, will freely admit, the Importance
of thorough preparation of the soil
for all seed If we would have the best
results. No plant. that we cultivate
requires it more than the grasses, par
ticularly Orchard grass, or as 1t is
called in England, Cock's-foot-a
grass that has for the last few years at
tracted much attention. Many sup
pose it to be well adapted to the pro-
duction Of hay, an erroneous thought.
The quality of hay is as good as the
best from Timothy or herds grass, If
cut while in bloom and well cured, but
the Weld in weight is far short of those
grasses. 1t is not hay or meadow
grass, but a grazing grass, and Will
grow more months in the year than any
other grass that l have cultivated. II
affords full bite for stock two weeks
earlier in spring than blue grass, and
affords more grazing, spring, summer
and fall, than blue grass, but not sc

soil and climate of Middle Tennessee.
1t grows equally as well on the high
or table lands as in the valley on the
limestone formation, ON lands of equal
fertility for other crops. Blue grass
does not give satisfactory results above
the limestone formation. The finest
orchard grass / ever saw grew above
the shale formation, on top of the
highest foot hill, the blades measuring
three and half feet. Stock of all
kinds prefer it. to all others. Why, |

SEEDING LAND To CLOVER AND
GRASS

Our readers are favored by addition
al remarks on preparing ground for
grass seeds, particularly orchard grass,
from "R." Now is the time TO get
land ready for seeding, if one does not
SOW seeds on growing wheat. Some
farmers at the North use what is called
a smoothing harrow, with small teeth
made of steel to cultivate wheat before
sowing clover or grass seed. Where
there is neither snow, frost nor mud
to interfere with the operation, this
tillage is as beneficial to wheat, as SIM
liar culture is to young corn. The
known results Of cultIvafing corn, cot
ton and cabbages, tell the whole story.
Narrowing thoroughly old moss-bound
meadows and pastures, and reseedlng
them with top dressing Of plaster and
bonedust, have often reset and restored
them to their pristine fruitfulness

Even an open woods pasture, seeded t

ThSfarming lands of the nation are
divided into improved and unimproved
At the last census, the latter was divid-
ed into timber land and land without
timber, as in prairie or old fields uncul-
tivated. We know these to be untrue
and unreliable in some States and Ter
ritories, yet we give them as we find
them for what they may be worth. 1t
will be Of interest to many of our read

FARM AND GARDEN.
FENCES.

johnson Hagood. of South Carolina,
has furnished valuable Notes on Plant
ing'' to the Rural Cgrolinia,e, in which
we find the following remarks on the
cost of fences in the Palmetto State:
Mr.. Hammond estimates the cost Of
fencing the improved lands of South
Carolina at four dollars per acre; and
fences last an average Of about ten
wears. This makes the annual expense
40 cents per acre" This sum assessed
on four million acres, imposes land
tax every year of one million six hun
bred thousand dollars in the small State
of South Carolina, in addition to all
other taxes. If the farmers of the
South ever rise to the honor and dignl-
ty of a self-governing people, this enor-
nous fence nuisance viii be largely
abated. Let the intelligent patrons of
husbandry take the matter IN
hand. Our Tennessee friends
may save many a dollar by studying
their interests, and combining their
strength to promote home prosperity.
A dollar saved on the farm in expenses
may be better than one taken out of
the soil to its injury. In many ways
our economy is short-sighted and de-
fective. Instead of cutting and really
wasting so much soil in timber, we
ought to cultivate Spanish chestnuts,
that viii bear fruit worth four or five
dollars a bushel in any American city.
Our climate las we know from observa-
ton, is well adapted to this valuable
timber and fruit tree. If we are tC
prosper, and teach our children the way
and the industry that lead to prosper
ty. we must take them and ourselves
out of the old ruts of past generations

one hundred dollars profit in few
years. Indeed, without this resource
and first rate economy, it is often inn
possible to command fair income from
the uncultivated part of a plantation.
This neglect of large part of farm,
where cash and labor are scarce, cuts
down the profits to rather poor living.
