A BITTER CONTROVERSY. The tenn
perance organs are waging bitter war
on the manufacturers of alcoholic bit
tiers. and their attacks are resented
with equal bitterness by the latter,
who seem determined to prosecute
the quarrel to the bitter end. In
the mean time n novelty in tonic medi-
dimes is making immense progress III
the confidence of all classes and condl-
tions of society throughout the United
States and British America. We refer
to DR.. Walkers California Vinegar Bit
ters, and we Gull it a novelty IN tones
because it contains no alcohol, an artl-
Gle heretofore considered essential III
medical invigoNnts. The abstemious
portion Of the community approve the
omission, and as the new remedy is cur
ing dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous al
fections, and, in fact, n majority OF the
diseases, external and internal, which
prevail, it is difficult to e how the
more self-indulgent portion of our fell
low.citizens can conscientiously OBJ
iect to it. One thing is certain II
ever there was what the French call
a grand success" the sudden and
continually increasing popularity OF the
Vinegar Bitters, deserves that name.
The advocates of temperance point to
the salutary eff cts produced by this in
alcoholic restorative as a proof that
spirituous stimulants n not needed
for medicinal purposes, apOsition which
has been recently taken by many emf
nent medical practitioners.

Feed for Producing Milk.

The Practical Farmer says at
is well settled in the opinion of all our
best dairymen that bran greatly pro-
notes the milk secretions in COWS, and
it is fed almost universally. Equally
mixed with corn-meal is the usual pro-
portion. This mixture seems to pro-
mote quantity and quality of milk.
From several sources we hear that buck
wheat bran is a great milk producer,
and it is now being used considerably
among our Chester county dairymen, in
about the same proportions as the other.
Thes. Gawthrop, near West Grove,
Chester county, also by repeated trials
with his own COWS, has fully satisfied
himself they do as well with corn and
cob-meal and bran as with pure corn
meal and bran. The amount of nutri-
ment in corn-cobs is so very small that
this result will have to be explained on

Live it Down"

1t may be a strange assertion that
silence is sometimes more eloquent than
speech. But it is true, us many a knave
knows who has knawed for years at the
good character of others with detrac-
tons tooth. The rat that roots through
rotten rafters works to some purpose
when it cuts its passage through to the
flour bags but the rat that would per-
sistently try to burrow a hole through
an iron door, such a rat, in the phrase
Of the burnt cork Dutchman, we should
say "wass creazy shure." As yet we
have to hear of such foolish members
among the inferior rodents but the
superior rodents, or two-legged rats,
belonging to the tribe yclept Bummists,
these are the c~raziest rats outside OF
Bedlam. They will gnaw, and gnaw,
knowing well that their gnawing is use
less and what rouses their wrath most
Of all is to see the object Of the "gnaw"
perfectly silent. This thing of gnawing
at the character of Others for the sake
of iniuring them in the very acme OF
meanness; but the sure safeguard is
silence.

are excellent eating. They are harm

flesh is nutritious and delicate, If once
received into our markets, being easily
raised, they would soon be priced for
their many desirable dietetic properties.

The Character of the Ocean Depths.

The Character Of the Ocean Depths.
Until d few wears past, nothing had
been ascertained with certainty concern
ing the character of the ocean depths.
1t was the popular idea that they were
wholly incapable OF sustaining animal
life. Men conceived Of them as a desc
late waste, shrouded in eternal dark
ness, and subjected to such a stipend
Gus pressure as to make life of any kind
impossible. Even men Of science
shared in the prevalent idea, They
were unwilling to accept the instances
of animals, comparatively high in the
scale of life, that were reported to have
been brought up IN sounding lines
from great depths. The great ocean
slumbered beneath the moon, covering
a region apparently inaccessible to hui
man research and experiment. DR..
Carpenter and his colleagues, however,
found that it was possible to work with
as much certainty, if not with as much
ease, at a depth of 600 fathoms as at
100. Their operations were carried to
the depth of nearly three statute miles
with perfect success. The bed of the
ocean, comprising an areaof l4O, DOC, DOC

chop
Orchard Grass and Alsike Glover.
In answer to an inquiry the editor Of
the Massachusetts Pioughman says 4:
We have tried orchard grass pretty
thoroughly, and have come to this con-
clusion If most of the other grasses
on the farm are late, that is, if they are
mostly timothy, red top, etc. sc would
SOW orchard grass, because it is desir-
able to have some fields that can be cut
earlier than others. That is a great i'd
vantage, and couuterbalances some Of
the disadvantages Of orchard grass,
such as its tendency togrowin punches,
and its hard and why nature, if not cut
early, etc. II orchard grass is own
alone, or only with c]lovers, we should
Use at least two bushels of seed to the
acre. With timothy and other grass
are late, it does not do so well, because
it is fit to cut at least three weeks be-
fore timothy, but with clover it is even
better than timothy. II we were going
to mix any natural grass with it We
should get a little perennial rye grass.
But orchard grass may be sown thickly
with red and aliske clover. say five
pounds of red clover seed and five
pounds Of alsike. If only red clover
seed is used, it ought to be at least ten
pounds TO the acre, and fifteen is better.
But alsike seed is much smaller than
red clover-seed, and you get a vastly
greater number OF plants. Alsike will
not show a great deal the first season.
If you SOW red clover it ought to give a
fair crop the first year, and when it be-
gins to disappear the second year You
will find the alsike. The latter is a
perennial, and it win last some years
unless it is killed out by the severity
of the winter. 1t does hot seem to be
perfectly hardy. 1t will sometimes get
killed ont, but it ought to remain sew.
eral years. Orchard grass will bear the
shade and rich soil. 1t grows more rap.
idly after being cut or fed off than any
other grass we know, but the second
crop does not send up Towering stalks,
and does not, therefore, grow so tall and
imposing as the first crop, but it grows
thick and makes a bulky, though not sc
very heavy q burden. Sowing it very
thickly prevents it from growing ST
much in clumps and gives it a fine
growth. Two bushels of seed to the
acre is little enough and more would b.
better. With orchard grass, clover ant
alsike the cost of the seed will be rattle.
greater than timothy and red-top, bu
if you have never grown this grass W,
advise you to try it. Sow it as early il
the spring as you can, give it a goot
chance and you will see how you like it
But do not make up your mind until tn
second year, when you will like it, "
