JUDGE JAMES W. HoGE.-'rhe foIlowin

JUDGE JAMES W. HOGE.-rhe foIlowil
complimentary allusion to Judge james w
Hoge, of Putnam county, w. Va, in connec
ton with the Supreme Court of that State, i:
from Kanawha correspondent of the Wheel
ing Register. Judge Hoge, is son of Rev.
Mr.. IIoge OF the Baptist church, and brother
OF the Messrs. Hoge of Staunton.
Different names have been mentioned in
connec ion with the vacated seat created
by the death OF Judge Paul. We would
call attention to man whose integrity of
character. vast learning and experience in the
judicial career, intellectual power and gentle
manly conduct throughout life is one of those
few who may justly aspire to the high position
of Judge. of the Supreme Court, and fill it,ano
doubt. with credit aud honor to himself and
to his fellow citizens. That man is Judge
James w. Hoge, Of Putnam. He WAS born
and raised near ScQttsville, Albemarle county.
Va, where his father was minister of note
He is in the prime Of life, being forty-four
years old, and has been practicing law for the
last twenty years. He has an enviable repu
tatioll rs lawyer, and occupied many posi-
tions of Importance, and among others was
Judge of the Circuit Court for eight years,
which position he filled with marked ability,
plainly proved by the small lumber Of his de-
cisions which were reversed by the Court OF
Appeals. Being one of the foremost lawyers
of our State, and having extensive experience
on the bench, combined with an unsullied rep
utation, we are confident that no better selec.
ton could be made to ill the vacant
seat OF the Cont of Appeals, and hope that
our people Will act accordingly.

THE FARM,
Curing elf-Eilkers.

To, break self.miking cow OF her
vice is no easy task, for every device
musi necessarily leave her exposed to
the attacks Of flies, and if the use OF
the preventive be discontinued, she
will soon realize the fact and resume
her habit. For that reason, the appli.
cation Of bitter aloes to toe teats is, as
well as being nasty, undesirable,
though it is, for the time that it is
applied, successful. Sitting the
tongue which we have heard Of as
being practiced, is barbarous in the
extreme.
OF mechanical means, there is
simplest of all, the tying Of hard
wood stick, sharpened at each end,
across the horns. An, inveterate
self.milker will soon learn that the
ends of the sticks are pointed, and
will display great perseverance and
ingenuity in turning her head down
so that she can get at her milk with
cut hurting herself. An effective
way is to put ciroingle around her
body, and attach straps thence to
each of her. horns. And the New
York Tribune gives another simple
plan which is found to be effective.
Take two old ox-bows and fit each
IN piece of hard wood, say 2x3 inch
stuff, II inches long, tying these
single yoke pieces on her neck, to
stand about foot apart. Then con
meet the hardwood pieces like ladder
rungs and screw upon the bows, on
each side, a slender pin of hickory,
pointed at the end, extending back
to rest upon her sides. The hard
wood pieces should be cut out, 50 as
not to hurt the neck,

TIE COLORADO POTATO BUG.

The farmers in our vacinity are
Just now having their potato fields
invaded with celebrated Colorado
bug, and the demand for Paris green
has become so great throughout the
country that, where it not an article
obtainable in almost unlimited guam
titles, the price would be greatly
enhanced,
Let every user of the article keep
constantly n mind that Paris green
is deadly poison, and great care
should be taken in the handling Of it.
Hands lrom which the skin is abrad-
ed, or on which any sore exists,
should be protected with gloves, and
all precautions should be used against
inhaling the poison while mixing it.
The following, from the MARYLAND
FARMER, seems to be a practical
mode Of applying the poison to the
vines. We would, however, suggest,
that, on small patches, the dipping Of
a broom in the liquid and shaking it
over the vines be used asa substitute
for the aDrliance which onr contprn.

THE FLORIDA SENATOR.

A special despatch to the Register
conveys us the gratifying intelligence
that a sterling Democrat and one OF
natures noblelnen, has been elected to
the United States Senate from Florida.
The despatch is as follows:
&C. w. Jones, of Pensacola, is elected
Senator for Florida"
Mr.. Jones is an Irishman by birth,
and came to Pensacola just after the
war. He was carpenter by trade, and
studied law during the war, raising
himself by hard labor, assidious appli-
cation and honest dealing to a front
place at the Pensacola Bar Mr.. Jones
is about forty years of age. While by
no meansa cultivated man, he is as
sound and reliable a representative as
Florida could have sent to United States
Senate.-1f0GiIe Reyiste,.

CRAB GRASS HAY,
THE EUCALYPTUS TREE.

After all the fuss that has been made
about the insalubrious condition of the
Roman Campaga, it is the Trappist
monks who seem to be the first who
nave done anything sensible toward its
amelioration. They planted in the
grounds of the famous convent Of st.
Paul allie tire fontane n large plantation
OF that Invaluable Australian
tree, the eucalyptus globula, and in
n few years this extraordinary plant
has driven away tho malaria. The
eucalyptus, which is now grown SO
extensively in Southern Europe, may
we'll be called tho "blessed tree"
1t is of extremely rapid growth.
SoWn by seed, lin less than twelve years
1T develops into tree forty and even
fifty feet in height and several in diam
eter. In twenty or thirty years it grows
to tho astonishing elevation of two
hundred, and even two hundred and
fifty feet. 1t bears two kinds of leaves
one round and glossy, the other long
and pointed. It's appearance is ex-
tremely beautiful, and in spring it is
covered with fine white flowers. 1t
acts upon marshy and fever-stricken
land much as quinine docs on the hui
man body. 1t eats up the fever, and
nbsorbs the moisture like Il sponge.
that 1t is used for engraving purposes,
and the leaves, when dry, can be pull
verified and used in cases of fever, with
marvellous effect. Tho writer has been
twice cured Of chills and fever by de-
coction of eucalyptus leaves. His
holiness the Pope has ordered II num-
Der OF eucalypti to he planted in several
agricultural schools, OF which he is the
proprietor and president land which are
situated outside of Rome, where the

years ago it seemed impossible for any

has Disappeared, and country houses
are built with perfect safety in places
in which previously it was death to
sleep single night. The eucalyptus
grows oniyin mild climates. AS it is

tivated in our Southern States on n

SPRING OATS.

SPRING OATS.
Oats may still be sown on rich land.
AS they will not have time to sstiller, !"
not less than taco bushels per acre should
be put in. Cotton seed or other am
moniacal manures may be ploughed in
with them, but the cotton seed will do
little good unless put aa,tles' the surface.
A turaplough running tseo inches deep,
should be used for covering them and
the oats, and a roller or drag should
pass over the land Immediately after
the plough. We do not attach much
value to spring. oats, but if one has
neglected to SOW in the fall, it is best to
take the chances now. Some summer
crop, as peas or potatoes, can be made
to reap the benefit of the present plough
ing of the land, should the oat crop
fail. s"4 ss..-3

Preparations for this crop should be
made this month, as uplands ought

weather in March. Early planted corn,
even if bitten by frost, yields better
than that planted late there is, also,
much advantage in getting it out of
the way early in the season, and start
ing the associated pea crop in time to
escape frost. Except upon land in
very nigh condition, that is, With deep,
rich soil and well MANFRED, it is best to
err on the side ofgiving too much rather
than too little distance to the rows
On thin upiantls six feet rows are none
too wide. Cotton seed and acid phos.
pl,ate are excellent for corn. 20 bus
hels seed to 100 lbs. phosphate may be
put in drill and listed on. When rca-
dy to plant the list may be opened with
Il coulter or narrow bull-tongue. AS in
years past, we again advise the plant
ing part of the crop in an carly varie-
ty, to take two chances of tho seasons
instead of one.

MRS. FITCH'S JEWELRY.

1t was supposed that Mrs. Fitch's
jcwelry present from the khcdivc of
Egypt would be admitted free Of duty.
but the Treasury Department dclnurs
mt this as unjust. There would be no
object in paying the enormous duty,
unless part of the jewels were after
ward sold, which would he an act of
discourtcsy, and Mrs. Fitch is :,dvis-
ed to take out warehouse entry for
tho diamonds and export them back to
France. She can then follow them
back there, and, after wearing them a
few times, bring them to this country
as articles in use, which would cntitlc
them to a free admission.
