THE scAI.P POLICY.


Il is reported upon good authority that
General sherman has expressed himself
strongly In favor Of fighting Indians by In
dian methods, and especially by offering
bounty for Modoc scalps. Undoubtedly the
proposition viii excite great opposition in
some quarters, but after oil to this or to some
analogous means II appears that we
must come. The scalps are not per
haps an Indispensable part Of the pro-
gramme; but It IL pre-emineptly necessary
that some plan should be devised for calling
out the frontlersmcn and friendly Indians,
and stimulating their real BY liberal rewards
payable only upon foil proof Of actual use
full service. In other words, we must hunt
the Modocs down with trappers and half
breeds; we must pay th-se men, and We must
sec that we &c, o full equivalent In services
for our outlay.
Not that the regular troops should be with
drawn. When properly handled, there can
DO no doubt OF their real value as Indian
fighters. Tho recent successes Of Crook In
the Southwest furnish good evidence Of this.
Three or four months ago series Of hostili-
ties, dating for their origin as far back a. the
Spanish conquest were In full progress; and
now, after brief and energetic campaign,
We nnd peace completely established. The ait
uation is well expressed In his recent letter
to Governor cCormick, wherein, after thank
ing that gentleman for his ef,cient aid, he
states that the work Of pacincatlon has 30 fai
proceeded that he hopes TO make voters out
Of the whole band Of Apaches before the neri
election comes around. This remarkable
k.s -. .ksA l,.
an army oficer, left absolutely unhampered
BY any outside influence, and possessing in
himself the very qualities Of mind
and body which would have made him
an admirable frontlersmAn had his lot
been cast among the civilians Of the border.
Gen. Crooks tastes and talents as hunter
have always been matters OF some celebrity
amoug his associates, and In his --latest
achievements he has only carried theee into q
larger sphere Of action.
These principles apply with still greater
force to warfare with the Modocs. The tract
which they are now making, one Of the mosi
celebratedin the world, u wonderfully adapted
10 the war Of sharpshooting and ambuscado-
to the strategy Of the forest Indian as dlstin
guished from that Of the Indian Of the plains
Now, II our history, either colonial or ma
tional, has taught us anything, II Is the futil
ity Of nghtlng forest Indians by regular evo
lutions and movements en- mdsse. The rou
Of Braddocks regulars and the successful
stand Of washington's rear guard Of vir
ginia bordermeu furnished an early ap'
striking lesson. This has been repeate,
again and again ever since; but Il seems rs
we were never going TO take Ii to heart. Fo
once let us show some sense, and encourag'
the hunters and redskins to nght the Modoc
after their own fashion.

sheep 1t is preferred by the domestic
animals to any other kind of hay. The
produce of lucerne is enormous Five
tons of excellent hay may be cut from
an acre. 1t is estimated that fodder,
green and dry, may be obtained from
an acre of lucerne for the support of five
horses during the entire year. This
included the great bulk of green food
during the spring, summer and au-
tumn."
We believe the seed can be procured
at most of the large seed stores; and
generally cost about double the price
per bushel Of red clover; but then
about half the quantity per acre is suf-
ficcnt for seeding.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.


In the first place we will examine the
causes of failure. If seeds are planted
TOO DEEP, they either rot in the damp,
cold earth, for the want of warmth ne
cessary to their termination, or, after
termination, perish before the tender
roots can reach the sun and air: so that
that which was desi gned for their sup
port and nourishment proves their
grave.
If the soil is a STIFF CLAY, it is often
too cold at the time the seeds are plant
ed to effect their termination for it
must be understood that WARMTH and
MOISTURE are necessary to the germina-
ton of seeds. Neither of these will do
alone. Seeds may be kept in warm,
dry room, in dry sand or earth, and
they will not grow They may be
placed in damp earth, and kept in low
temperature, and they will most likely
rot, though some seeds will remain dor
mant long time under these circum-
stances. But place them in moist earth,
in a warm room, and they will COM
mence growth at once. Another diff
Guilty with heavy soil is that it becomes
hard on the surface, and this prevents
the young plants from coming up"
or, if during showcry weather, they
happen to get above the surface they
become locked in, and make but little
advancement. unless the cultivator is
careful to keep the crust well broken:
and in doing this the young plants are
often destroyed. If STIFF, the soil
where fine seeds are sown should be
made mellow, particularly on the sur
face, by the addition of sand and light
mold.
If seeds are sown in ROUGH, LUMpY
GROUND portion will be buried under
the clods, and will never grow: and
many that start, not finding fit soil
for their tender roots, will perish. 4
few may escape these difficulties, and
flourish.
All the foregoing cases show good
reason for failure, but there is one cause
which is not so apparent. The soil,
we will suppose, is well prepared, fine
as it can be made, and of that loamy or
sandy character best fitted for small
seeds. We will suppose, too, that the
seeds were sown on the surface, with a
little earth sifted over them, and that
this was not done until the season was
so far advanced as to furnish the
warmth necessary to secure vegetation.
Under these very favorable circum-
stances many seeds will grow; and if
the weather is both warm and $howerv,
very few will fail But if, as is very
common at the season of the year when
we SOW our seeds, we have a success
sion of cold rain storms, MANY of the
more tender kinds will perish. A
nights frost will ruin many more. If.
however the weather should prove
warm and without showers, the surface
will become very dry, and the seeds.
having SO slight covering, will be
dried up and perish as soon as they
germinate, and before the roots attain
sufficient size and strength to go down
where the soil is more moist. Ofcourse
the finer and more delicate seeds, and
those natural to more favorable eli
nate, suffer more than those that are
more robust.

LUCERNE SOILING.

A correspondent of the Maryland
Farmer" speaks in the following terms
of Lucerne for soiling and hay:
We believe the Agricultural Journals
cannot well do their readers q greater
service than persuading them of the
great value of LUcERNE, both as mea-
dow and as a green soiling crop. If
sown on deep plowed land it yields
immensely, and never suffers from
drouth, as it runs its roots deeply in the
ground: if there be no unusual him
drance, it will run down many feet to
lind moisture, thus also acting as sub
soiler; we have found the roots of this
nutritious plant more than three feet
below the surface soil they are nearly
as large as parsnips roots, and when
cut off by the plow, at a depth of from
seven to twelve inches, they rot below
that and leave moist fertilizer or HU-
MUS, which aids to keep the ground
porous at that depth, while the portion
above which is turned under and mixed
with the soil, furnish large amount of
fertilizing elements On deep, strong
land it may be moved several times in
the season, yielding vast amount of
excellent feed, which is liked by all
stock, and is first rate for milk. 1t
sprouts early in the spring, and may be
moved earlier than clover for soiling.-
This much we know by experience !;
and add the following coEfrmatory tes-
aimony in regard to it:
Mr. c. W. Howard, in the South
Farm and Home" Memphis, Te1nes-
see, says, concerning lucerne:
As a forage plant at the South, lu-
cerne is very far superior to all others.
IL is used for three purposes. First,
for feeding green, 81 soiling; used in
this way, it is best to cut t!be lucerne a
day in advance, so as to feed y 2 wilted
state. IT MUST NEVER BE PAsTIeEp.

SEED PoTAToEs.-It still seems to
be disputed point in agriculture
whether it is necessary to use large po-
tatoes for seed, or whether small ones
will not do as well. As in many SINH
lar disputes, we imagine the truth will
be found in an immediate course. One
of our best potato crops was from seed
not larger than a walnut, and vet We
would not be willing to carry the idea
out for series of years, and continue
to select small potatoes from the pro-
duct of small ones for seed.
1t is scarcely reasonable to suppose
that natures law, so true in other cases
that " like produces like" should fail
when applied to this crop, and the fact
that good crops can be raised from
small seed, does not prove that small
seed is best.
We always prefer to use good-sized
seed at least enough of it to give us a
chance for similar seed next season and
then make out the remainder of the plot
with medium-sized seed. The main
point is to have a perfect and well
shaped potato and with proper manage
ment in good soil crop will follow.

Save the Best Fowls for Breeding
The Poultry World.

The Poultry World.
1t is the worst possible policy to kill
all the best and handsomest fowls, and
save only the mean and scraggy ones
to breed from. This is precisely the
way to run out your stock; for like
tends to breed like, and the result is,
that by continually taking away the
best birds, and using the eggs of the
poorest, your flock will grow poorer
and poorer every succeeding year.
1t would seem us though this was
too plain to be insisted upon, but, in
fact Zine upon line is needed 1t is
the crying want of the poultry upon
the farms the country through,-this
careful and intelligent selection of the
best for breeding. '
Nothing is lost by little self-denial
to start with. The extra pound or two
of poultry flesh that you leave on its
legs, instead of sending it to the mar
ket, is as good seed, and will bring
forth ten-fold and twenty-fold in your
future broods. Save your best stock
for breeding.

which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard:
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
