Bermuda Grass.

We have had over twenty years' OK
perieDce in the use Of Bermuds. end can
write With confidence of its advantages on
the farm. A prominent advantage Of this
perennial graes is that it is very hardy,
and q southern plant that will stand our
hot, dry summer better than any Euro
pean grass. red top. orchard grass. timo-
thy, oat grass, foxtail and the fescses.
We have tried these and several other
English grasses " the edo Of Bermuda.
and know the truth Of what .ws write.
II i, however, mistaks to depend on
any one plant for tho best pasture. Gov
ernor Gilmer, Of Lexington. Georgia. i'm
proved his Bermuda pasture BY raising
clover with his Bermuda. In planting .
good many acres in Bermuda for pasture.
we have sown white cloverssed on some
acres. red clovsrseed on others, apd lu.
cerns on still more ground. Lucerne
sends its roots very deep into the suosoil,
and draws plant food lever than Bermuda.
Red clover il biennial or lives but two
years. unless from shattered seed but
lucerns lives eight or ten years, sometimes
longer. A mixture of Bermuda and lu-
cerne has given US tho most satisfactory
results. Unless the soil is naturally cal
carcous, il should be lined to some ex-
tent for lucsrnc or any clover. In fact
blue grass and all other grasses do best Oh
limestone land. Bermuda rarely forms
seed. and the plant is propagated by cut
ting up its numerous runners and cover
ing them lightly with beard as one may
cotton seed or corn. The rows should
not be more than some thirty inches
apart. Lucerne, clover or any grass seed
is sown broadcast to occupy the whole
ground till the Beamuda has time to
grow, spread and cover the earth with o
firm turf. After William the Norman,
his officers AID soldiers, had conquered
England, andschivalry was in its meridian
splender, it was said that a gentleman
could be bred from the ranks 10 three
generations. but that it took three hun
drsd years to make good green sward.

Hogs.

A few brood sows of improved breed
will be enough for family. 1t is poor
economy for farmer to buy his pork,
when two sows we'll taken care Of will
give him all the hog meat his family and
few hirslings will require during the
year. and also lard and sausage and small
bones. those great delicacies so enjoyed
by everybody for breakfast and supper.
Under the old plan. it was cheaper to buy
Western pork than to raise it, but expert
ence has proven that with improved breeds
and high feeding, it is a great economy to
raise your own pork. Hogs at eight
months old will. or ought to. weigh 800
pounds-nnd the second litter q year, can
be made into pork for family use at three
months, weighing eighty to one hundred
pounds. or sold to the butcher when they
command high prices. To this is to be
added now and then superior enc sold
as breeder for $40 at eight or ten weeks
old.

A SCRAP BooK.-Every farmer should
keep a scrap book in which to paste agri-
cultural scraps. Every one. in reading q
paper. will see number of things which
he will wish to remember. He will per-
haps see suggestions, the value of which
be will desire to test. or hints which he
want to be governed by in future opera
tions. And yet. after reading the paper
he will' probably never see it again. In
such case all the valuable articles will

PLASTER OF PARIS AS A MANURE FOR
VINEs.-I have large quantity of grape
vines planted in the open ground, and
trained on poles and wires along the
gravel walks. In planting these I had
the holes dug about twenty 70 inch IS
deep; | then threw into each hole five or
six Jumps Of old plaster. about the size of
my fist. l threw little Garth over these
Jumps, and then PLANTED the vines in the
usual way. The result has been wonder.
full; the vines, which were not an inch
thick when planted three years ago. are
now two inches and more in diameter,
and bear finely. The grapes are also free
from dissase. Other vines, not so treat
ed, are much smaller and produce less,
the fruit being also more liable to disease
To try the effect of this plaster, in plant
ing two American black walnuts. we put
the plaster to the one and not to the other
The former grew twice as fast as the
other. Last year We dug about the roots
of the enc to which no plaster was put,
and We threw in seven or eight large
Jumps Of plaster among the roots; the
trees are now both Of the same size, and
though only four years old, are sixteen to
seventeen feet high.-P. p, Aaly, in

We thought the massive intellects of Resolu-

cor fined TO such q narrow field as was afforded
them at the Columbian buildings in their pa-
tTiOtic efforts TO save the District Commissioners
the trouble OF making selections of officers to
run the District government. Circulars are
now out signed "a. NJ. Green. chairman re-
publican central committee, j. III. b. Small
wood, secretary" calling ga mass conren-
ton Of the republicans Of the District of Co
lumbia 10 consider the question of southern

bia," TO assemble at Columbia College Law
Building on Tuesday next, 22d inst, at -
O'Clock m, and "cOntinue in session under such
regulations as may be determined by the con-
yention when assembled"
IL might be thought by the unsophisticated
that any particular subdivision of one of these
two questions OF southern reconstruction" aud
the government OF the District Of Columbia"
problems which are exercising some of the
greatest minds in the country, would be almost
az much as Green & Co. could grappIe with at

the ed instant 10 be better informed. The ease
and bOldness with which the Gordian knots will
be cut and both questions satisfactorily dis
posed Of by Brother Green with string or two
OF wtereases and resolutions will put to shame
