CALIFORNIA CLovER.-A Texas
farmer writes to the Southern Guilt
vator that this clover makes the
grandest forage crop known at the
South, and it is making gr=at revo-
luton in stock growing 1t yields
more than any grass or forage crop,
stands both cold and drought, is cap
ital winter pasturage, requires but
one planting to be perpetual with a
topdressing of manure. The same
writer SAYS he raises large crops of
Irish potatoes of good quality every
season without sending North for
seed. He has planted Goodrich and
Russet potatoes for six years. On a
bed of fine straw they keep well
through the winter. He plants in
drills three feet apart, covering the
tubers in the row with barnyard ma
nure.
CARE OF Hods.-The Colonial
Farmer says: A practical breeder
gives the following advice, which, rim
the main, we think sound, for those
whose herds are not too large, and
who are engaged in mixed husband
ry. TO handle hogs TO the best adj
vantage, pasture is needed OF green
grasses clover, blue grass and TIM
othy-and it is best, if there Is no
running water or stock ponds in the
lot. Hogs do better where there are
no branches or stock ponds to wallow
in. In place thereof, have good well
water pumped for them, Have
troughs made, aad nail strips across
eight inches apart, TO keep the hogs
from lying down in the water, and let
these hogs be put on floors, to keep
them from digging up wallowingI
holes. Ifany feed be given, it should
be soaked in swill barrels for II kours
before feeding-no lOnger-and feed
them as drink.

To KEEP LEMONS. Wrap each in
common tissue paper, and lay them
OUT on a shelf, so that they do not
touch each other. The shelf should
he in dry, dark cupboard, free from
draughts.
To REMOVE SrAINs.-If you have
been picking or handling acid fruit
and have stained your hands, wash
them in clear water, wipe them light
lv, and while they reyet moist strike
a match and shut your hands around
it 80 as to catch the smoke, and the

to adopt and conduct State institutions, is
very essential matter.

its recovery will be slow and tedious at

wages or a closing down Of the works The

worst of all, perhaps, it was fearfully un.

THE MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR. Massa-
chusetts, in search of a Senator, has been the
singular spectacle for the last three weeks.
The General Court met every day to ex-
press the preferences Of the Senators and
Representatives by their ballots. The Re.
publican party divided its vote between
Hoar and Dawes. The Democrats gave
their sufrages to Judge Curtis, Charles
Francis Adams received from ten to thirty.
seven votes at the various ballotings. On
the thirty-third ballot, the two Republican
divisions broke, and threw small majority
of votes for Governor Washburn. 1t is
very evident that Massachusetts, cannot find
its greatest son, aud is not disposed, if it
could, to place him in Mr.. Summers seat.
Partisanship is the greatest factor in the
election. 1t dictates the candidate and
elects him, and the election is more Of an
honor to Mr.. Washburn than to the old Bay
State. Still another thing is evident: that
Butlerism is at discount in Massachusetts,
and therefore it is a pity that it could not
have been confronted in the United States
Senate with an able, as well as with an
honest man.

Canon Kingsley, who is now deliver
ing lectures in this country, says he look:
upon the responsibilities of the free nations
Of modern times not boastfully, but in fear
and trembling. Equality Of some kind OF
other, is our natural aud seemingly newt
able goal. But there are two equahtie,
the true and false, the noble and base
the heathiul aud ruiuous the equality
founded on mutual generosity, and the
equality founded on mutual envy; the
equality which longs to raise all alike, aud
the equality which seeks to pull down all
alike. Side by side in the heart Of every
free mln, aud every free people, are tive
instincts struggling for the mastery, called
by the same name, but bearing the same re-
lation to each other as the satyr to the god
