Crops for Green Manuring.

Perhaps the practice Of turning under
green crops for mnuring is not yet suili-
GENTLY understood and practiced in Yer
mont, to say much about other plants than
clover for this purpose; yet it is well to
know that we are by no means limited to
this single plant nor yet to clover and buck
wheat for green manuring. Aud the great
importance and value Of this system OF re-
storing fertility, effectively and promptly,
leads us to call attention to the ways in
which it may be raised in its application 10y
the use of various plants.
Among them rye is unquestionably second
only to clover in the amount Of plant food
it viii gather and prepare for a succeeding
crop Winter rye is especially adapted to
this use since it may be sown after the re-
moval OF any early crop, and will continue to
grow late into the fall In the spring it
starts early. and If needed may be fed OFF as
an early bite for sheep or dairy stock, and
| then turned IN. after the grass is green in
the pasture, for crop Of potatoes, corn or
beans 1t is better, perhaps, not to feed it
in this way, but to let it grow until ready
to pillow yet as the droppings Of the stock
are all left upon the ground, the loss may be
less than the advantage.
Peas are an excellent crop to SOW for
eurchiug land from which any early crop
has been taken off These will grow until
very hard frost, and make a heavy mass of
stems and foliage, which may be powed in
the last thing before the ground closes, with
great advantage 10 early sown grains and
grass upon the same land the next season.
For these purposes heavy seeding is requi.
site. Six pecks Of rye to the acre is not too
much. Winter rye may even follow corn
successfully, by cultiyating it in, leaving the
corn stubhlc standing TO catch the snow and
thus protect the rye from winterkilling.
For the rapid restoration Of land, not al
lowing the two seasons required by clover
but bringing up the fertility in a single sum
mer, sowed corn, put in thickly in May
plowed under early in August, and followed
10y peas, to be turned under the last Of Octo
Der, are very effective. This will prepare 9
WORKOUT field for wheat or oats equal to q
dressing of forty-two horse loads of manure
to the acre on the same land, at a cost of only
three or four dollars for seed and labor, and
the interest on the value OF the land for on,
season.
As some find difficulty in blowing il
green crops, we viii simply add that heav,
chain, hung from the end Of the whifietre,
cross-bar to the plow-beam and left viii
enough slack so that it drags just ahead Of
the turning furrow, viii pull down the greer
growth so that it will be entirely covered b,
the plow.

Woman as a Master Farmer.

Would it not be a source of pleasure
to a sensible young college-educated
farmer that his future wife had studied
all the principles that apply to his occu-
patton, and would thus understand and
appreciate all his plans? There is a silly
squeamishness about American ideas of
woman's sphere that does not obtain
in educated classes in England or on the
Continent A friend related converse
ton between himself and an English lady
of rank, while on railway train. Pass
ing field of wheat where the plant was
only high enough to show well, he re-
marked that the rows seemed too near
together, when she replied, "No, they
are ten inches apart, the approved dis
tance," and then went into an explana-
ton of the different modes of drilling.
Shortly they passed herd of cattle;
when he remarked upon them as Ayr
shires, she replied, "No, they are short
horns, and very fine animals, too" She
then explained the characteristics of the
breeds. He was surprised to find SO ac-
complished lady far in advance of him
self in the knowledge of agriculture
Such examples are numerous there, but
surprising to find here. Lady Pigot is
accustomed to take her prizes at the fairs,
and is now proposing to write treatise
on short-horns. Live Stock Journal.

Dividing Up a Rhinoceros.

DR.. Planck, of Schenectady, and DIR.
Hall, of Albany, were up to Hoffman's
on Wednesday and had Forepaugh's
dead rhinoceros skinned, cut up, dis
jointed and the meat cut from the bones,
boxed and sent to Rochester, where the
skeleton will be prepared for the Albany
Museum. Prof. Ward, of Rochester,
who, with his assistants, arrived on the
ground Tuesday, proceeded to q black
smiths shop and had a number of pecu
liar tools made under his own supervision
and procured grapnels, ropes, etc. The
labor of removing the skin was began on
Wednesday. The skin is from three
quarters of an inch to an inch thick, and
some idea of its weight may be obtained
when it is stated that it required
twelve strong men to. lift the box con-
taing it. The skin will have to be re-
duced one half in bulk, and will be put
over a manikin by the improved French
method, the old German method OF STUFF
fling with straw being found impractic-
able. To properly prepare the skin a
large vat will have to be made, in which
it will be placed over night in solution
of alum9and SALT 1t will be taken out
each day and worked down. The oper-
alton will require about two weeks. 1t
is believed that the stuffed skin can be
placed in the museum during the winter.
The skeleton will not be arranged before
next August. Troy Times.

The Agreement.

A resident of Beaubien street secured
place for his boy to learn a trade few
weeks ago, having written agreement
with the manufacturer. The boy proved
very destructive on machinery and win
dow-glass, and finally, the other day, the
manufacturer called upon the father and
said:
ct can't keep Henry any longer. His
recklessness has cost me over 5000 in
four weeks.
What's the matter?" inquired the
father.
Why, he has broken over twenty
panes of glass, for one thing, and the
other day he destroyed a piece of ma
chinery which cost me $40.
"He did, Ell"
g Yes, he did.
"Well, when I go home I'll look at
our agreement" said the father. 81
don't think there is any clause In it
which says he shan't break windows or
machinery, but I'll look to make sure y

GRANTS CUBAN POLICY.

A Denial that the President Contemplates
interference with Spain.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times telegraphed to that pa
per as follows under date of the Sd
inst
During the past two or three weeks
numerous dispatches have been sent
from this city touching the relations of
the United States government with that
of Spain in reference to the civil war In
Cuba.
Most of the dispatches referred to
have been given currency for toe double
purpose of exciting prejudice il The Uni
States and annoying the Spanish govern
ment, and some of them have been put
out by class of men well known in this
city as large holders of bonds issued
some years ago by the g Republic of
Cuba" All of them indicate deter
mination on the part Of the President to
interfere in some way on behalf of the
struggling Cubans. The views of Presi-
dent Grant on this question are beyond
conjecture, having been plainly ex-
pressed in his last annual message.
That he still entertains those views
there can be no doubt, and that they
will find place in his forthcoming mes
sage is equally certain, but to suppose
that he discussed this or any other ques-
ton of foreign policy with itinerant
callers at the Executive Mansion is alb
srlrd.
It can be confidently stated that the
President has authorized no statement of
his views on the Cuban question to be
made at this time, nor has Secretary
Fish opened his diplomatic portfolio to
public inspection.
The President and Secretary Fish are
In perfect accord on the Cuban CUES
ton, and there is no reason warranting
the belief that any change has occurred
either in fact or intention III the relations
that have heretofore existed between the
governments of Washington and Madrid.
The purposes and policy of the Ameri-
can government toward Cuba are plainly
indicated in Minister Cushing's instruc-
tons and have not been State secret
for over year. AS therein stated, the
President does not mediate or desire
the annexation of Cuba, but it's elevation
into an independent republic, in har-
mony with ourselves and with the other
republics of America. Such were the
officially expressed views of the Presi-
dent nearly two years ago, and the prob
ability that similar views will be again
expressed in bis forthcoming message to
Congress should occasion no general
alarm now. At all events, it can be stated
with confidence that there is no cause for
public apprehension regarding the pro-
SDectivn action of the President toward
Spain, and that there is no warrant for
the allegations contained in the recent
Washington dispatches about Cuba and
the reported movements of American
naval vessels.
