some easy means could be devised for

made such a measure successful would
not fail to carry the next Presidential

TRE result Of the elections for new
Parliament in England seems to be
generally ia favor OF the Conservative
or Tory party as represented by MI.
DIsRAELI. In a number of borougbs
which were represented in the last
Parliament by Liberal members, the
Conservatives nave triumphed and the
indications now are that the GLADSTONE
ministry will fail to receive the "vote OF
confidence" which is necessary for its
continuance in power. Among the
members elected to Parliament is
the Marquis OF Lorne, one OF
Queen Victorias numerous sons
in law. Of course he is conser-
vstive and will use bis influence in sup-
port OF the extreme royalist faction.
Should he cast his vote on the other
side he would doubtless receive such a
curtain lecture SO, according to numer-
GUS well authenticated reports, Prince
ALBERT was accustomed to during his
life. The Queens temper is said to be
inherited by her daughters, and the
Marquis of Lorne has anything b It a
couch OF roses in his nu Ftial bed.

of sage brush, the whole secured behind in
a bunch with handsome pin made with
a pine splinter and a buffalo's ear. She
wore an elegant mountain cat skin cap,
festooned with antelope tails, secured un-
der the chin with q rattlesnake skin. Her
feet were encased in huckskin moccaslns
ornamented with beads and soldier but

off his gallant figure to good advantage.
Envious glances from both sexes followed
this handsome couple round the hall.
Several ladies and gentlemen from the

Late IRISH Potatoes.

| There is no crop grown within the limits
| of our State that pays such satisfactory
| profit as that of Irish potatoes. The amount
of work required to be performed is small
while the cropi is reasonably certain, and al
ways commands ready market. We pro-
pose to give some hints which we have
gathered from experience in the cultivation
and management of this crop.
Late Irish potatoes should be planted in
Tennessee about the first or second week in
June. AS to soil, it should be light, rich
loan, cleared about two years, and lying
either on the north side of a hill or in an
upland sag or bottom. About ten bushels
per acre is the proper quantity of seed.
These should be cut into pieces with two
eyes on each, and dropped at distance of
twelve inches in rows three and a half feet
wide. After dropping they may be covered
by throwing two burrows on them with a
single pillow but should the wether be very
hot, so as to endanger the vitality of the
seed by scalding, q two-horse pillow is pre-
ferable for covering. When the sprouts are
an inch or two long, and before they have
appeared through the crust of the earth, q
large harrow ran over the ridges erosswise
will exterminate all weeds and grass, and
leave the potatoes in fine order. One good
working with pillow or cultivator, after
this, is sufficient, which should be done
when the potato vines are six inches high.
Level cultivation, all thing considered, is
best, No hoe should ever be used for killing
up the vines: and if the landA is properly
before planting, by deep blowing,
there will be no necessity for the hoe at any
Sun.

What Time to Cut Wheat.

EDITORS RURAL SUN: Being a reader of
your most excellent San, L see that through
its columns there is information to he gath =
cred on different subjects. And as the time
for cutting and taking care of wheat
will be here in a few weeks L would like if
you or some of your writers would give the
proper stage that wheat should be for cut
ting, and what we are to be governed by to
know when is the right time. Also, what
difference it makes in the weight of wheat
and quantity and quality of the flour, or
any other information on the subject that
may be necessary. +. A.. S.
Athens, Tenn, May 9, 1874.
If Wheat is intended for seed it should
be allowed to get fully ripe, but we have for
years been of the opinion that for other pur-
poses it is better to cut it when it is in an
advanced dough State. There are several
reasons for this: LIST. 1t is easier to cut I;
2nd. 1t makes whittier flour 3rd. None is
lost by shatering 4th. The straw is much
more valuable for stock feed.
The question has never been satisfactorily
settled whether there is any loss in weight,
cutting it in the dough state. We incline to
the belief that there is no loss in this re-
spect. We should like to hear from our
farmers in this particular. l-RUraL Sun.

NELLIE CRAMPS WEDDING.
A Guess at the Programme by a Lady


The lady correspondent of the Courier
Journal {" Fay') writes as follows about
the wedding at the White House yester-
day:
"The wedding is arranged to take place
after this fashion. There is large double
window in the middle of the grand East
room. The window is to be banked with
flowers In front Of it will be dais car
peted, upon which the bridal party will
stand. Above the dais hangs a marriage
bell of white flowers. The bridesmaids all
assemble up stairs and form. The groom
and his best man, who is Colonel Fred.
Grant, enter the East room through the
suite of pariors, and proceed to the dais.
The bridesmaids, two and two, enter from
the wide folding doors, which are opposite
the dais and divide so rs to form a Gordon.
Next to the last bridesmaid comes the
bride with her father, followed by her
mother with young Ulysses Grant, just
home from Harvard. The groom awaits
the bride and receives her from her father.
The Rev. DR.. Tiffany, of the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal church. will perform
the ceremony. Immediately after the
congratulations, the company proceed to
the State dining.room, where sumptuous
repast is spread. The ceremony takes
place at II A. NJ. At LAO p. NJ, the bride
and groom depart on special train for
New York. They will remain at the Fifth
sail on the Baltic of the White Star Line
for England. If this programme is not
strictly followed, L will note the changes in
my next. The whole house will be decor
ated in the most beautiful manner with
flowers

Potatoes on Rich Soil.

A correspondent of the Ne7O ENGLAND
Homestead does not believe in the theory
of growing potatoes on poor, unfertile soil
to prevent rot. He gives his last years ex-
perience as follows, with a half bushel of
Breese's Prolific potatoes:
- cut them in pieces of one and two
eyes each, prepared my land, "a light chest
nut loan, inclining to sand, by ploughing
in liberal dressing of compost manure
and then putting a shOvelful of well-rotted
compost consisting of horse, COW and pig
manure mixed, in the hill. The sets were
planted two feet apart in rows three feet
apart, were kept free from weeds, and hoed
four times. From that half bushel of seed,
took up eleven barrels of potatoes for the
table and two bushels of small potatoes for
the pig. There were no signs of rot or any
other defect except a superabundance of
very large tubers, too large for baking pur-
poses. Better potatoes | have not had on
my table at any time during the last ten
years. The crop in 1872, on the same piece
of ground, was potatoes. From a five years
experience L am forced to the conviction
that the potato should be well fed and
nursed as beets or cabbage. When l see
fields of potatoes crowded with Roman
worm wood, pig-weed, cockIe-burrs, and
other foul stuff can not help feeling some
for them as one would for family of small
children with dissipated father and feeble.

Oiling Roofs.

A correspondent of the Mirror and
Farmer says: /" In 1s4S built shed from
the house to the barn with two roofs
shingled it with sapling pine shingles. One
roof or one side oiled with bank oil, which
is the cheapest fish oil in market-then
worth about forty cents per gallon, worth
about sixty cents pow-and IL proved an
experiment worth being made known to
others. The roof or side not oiled had to
be shingled over eight or ten years ago.
The side which oiled Is yet good. 1 oiled

pairing and without leaking. .r

years, would last AZ age. The shingles

Breeding a Good Colt

Whoever wishes to breed fine colt must
he willing to put himself to certain
amount of trouble and expense. There is
an old saying that the gods never drop
nuts already cracked into mems mouths
Now the country is full of men who are
ambitious to raise a five hundred-dollar
colt, but who are at the same time unwill-
ing to be at any considerable trouble or ex-
expense to do it. They wish for the five
hundred-dollar colt but they wish to get it
in such way that it shall not cost them
over fifty or seventy-five dollars. 1t is no
difficulty for an intelligent breeder to raise
a five hundreddollar colt it is not extrav-
agant for such person to expect to raise a
colt, which, at five years of age, shall COM
mand a thousand dollars for every year of
his age, but it costs time, attention and
considerable money to insure such a result.
An ordinary dam will not produce such a
colt. An ordinary stallion will not beget
such an animal Stations whose services
can be obtained for ten or twenty dollars,
and mares of low blood negative charac-
tiers, can never beget or conceive such a
foal.-HlTToV.

watering Horses After Meals.

1t is the practice with many horsemen to
give their horses no water until after they
have eaten their allowance of food. Con-
corning this practice veterinarian writes :
A full drink of water Immediately after
being fed should never be allowed to horses.
When water is drank by them, the bulk of
it goes directly to the large intestnes, and
little of it is retained in the stomach In
passing through the stomach, however, the
water carries considerable quantities of the
contents to where Hodges in the intestines.
If, then, the food OF horses stomachs
is washed or. before it is digested no nour-
ishment viii be derived from the food. In
Edinburg, some old horses were fed with
split peas, and then supplied with water
Immediately before being killed. 1t was
found that the water had carried the peas
from fifty to sixty feet into the intestines,
where no digestion took place at all.

Poultry for Farmers.

Farmers complain that there is no profit
in poultry, says the Live Stock Journal
and when you examine their method of
raising and caring for this branch of live
stock, you must agree with them. Poultry
on the farm are not treated as deserving of
any regular attention, like other stock, but
are expected to take care of themselves
and to find their own living by foraging
over the premises, or if they are fed, 1t is
only when it comes handy, two or three
times a week. And with this kind of care
they are expected 10 lay early and album
dainty. There is no doubt that with good
quarters and regular feeding, n pound

in market from fifty to hundred per cent.
more. Then good breed will lay 100 eggs
per hen in year, and these viii bring
from three to four dollars. This is about
the average income from a merino sheep,

A Cheap Wash for Buildings.

Take clean water-tight cask, and put
into it half bushel of unslacked lime.
Cover 1t with boiling hot water six inches
deep, stir briskly and wait for the lime to
slack. To the lime and water add two
pounds of cheap salt called sulphate OF
zinc white vitriol) and one pound of com.
mon salt. These ingredients cause the
white wash to harden, and not crack and
fall off. To form beautiful cream color,
add three pounds of yellow ochre. A lump
of ivory black will give pearl or lead coli
or Lamp black may be used to produce a
darker color If desired; Applied to pailings,
plank fences, and all out-buildings, they
last much longer and look better.

Treatment of Calves.

The little calves are taken away from
their mothers as soon as dropped, and be.
fore the mother knows anything about her
offspring, therefore she does not IVORY OF
fret after the calf. The calves are made as
comfortable as possible in a warm box with a
little hay for bedding. l give them a
fresh egg, shell and all, and rub
them dry. AS soon as the cow, or
mother, has discharged the afterbirth, she
is half MIXED and gets warm drink of oat-
meal cruel, with little salt and little sui
phur in it. The young calf gets, from the
pail, its mothers milk, but not all the milk.
Commence on little, and every feed in
crease. At the end of week we give them
sweet skinned milk. By this time they all
drink without the assistance of the fingers.
We use no false teats, such as leather or
glove fingers nailed on the bottom of their
troughs.-COr. Country Gentleman.

tains in the whole grain So per cent, of
phosphoric acid, and corn only 5.l-2 per
cent. but nearly the whole of the phos-
