lrrigating Grass Lands.

The luxuriant pastures in which cattle
and sheep now revei and grow fat and the
abundant growth of aftermath on mead
ows, even those that produceda very light
crop OF hay, sufficiently demonstrates to
the most superficial observer that an
abundance OF water is necessary to the
best success in grass culture. We have
not had such fall pastures fora greatmany
years, simply because we have not had
such a wet summer for great many
years. In many localities the hay crop
was short because of insufficient rains in
the spring. We have seen some meadows
that would NOW better second crop than
they did the first. These facts prove the
advantages of irrigation, as far as the
grass crop is concerned.
There are thousands OF farms in Ohio
and adjoining States where irrigation is
both practicable and economical, and
where 1t is an absolute waste not to apply
1t. In determining whether it will pay or
not it will be perfectly safe to estimate the
grass crop at double what it would be
without irrigation. According to the best
information we can obtain it is really
greater than this, and in some localities it
would be four times as great as without
irrigation. Then it must be remembered
that with irrigation grass lands will pro-
duce these extra crops for an almost in
definite period, without manure or the
trouble and expense of blowing up and
reseeding. The extent of surface that can
be irrigated must also be considered, as it
might cost as much to irrigate ten acres
as fifty, and of course the profits in the
former case would be only onie-fiith as
much as in the latter Against all the adj
vantages or profits place the cost of dam
ming, trenching, manuring, reseedlng,
etc, and you can tell whether it will pay
TO attempt il or not.
On one farm we know of it was shown
that an abundance OF water could be con-
Quoted from a never-failing steam half a
mile distant at cost of 81 900, and fifty
acres of dry, sandy soil could be irrigated
thereby. If the grass crop could be
doubled by this process how long would
it take to pay the cost of constructing the
ditch?
Many farms are so favorably situated
that irrigation is available with very little
expense. Wherever reservoir can be
filled, on higher ground than that which
is to be irrigated, either from springs, rains,
swamp drainage or brooks, there irriga-
ton is available and should not be neg
lectcd, for there is no other means that
will produce 50 much profit at so little
expense. We have said nothing about
how irrigation increases the crops; this
fact is taken for granted, as it has been
demonstrated thousands of times in all
ages of the world, and in all countries.
Our obi ct is to simply call the attention

Hens Eating Eggs-A Cure.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Poultry But
ldiR says:
Having seen the question asked how To-
cure hens from eating eggs, and having
been put To my wits end to devise some
means to stop them, finally, by accident,
hit upon a plan that | have never known
to fail. One great trouble with many
breeders is, they make their hens nest too
large, and with Brahmas and Cochins the
nests are near the ground, and in many
cases the eggs are in view of the hen,
This was the case with my nests. Having
tried every available stuff, such as pep
per, mustard, turpentine, and everything
| could hear of, but no cure, then took a
common nail-keg, cut it in two, or piece
about eight inches high, and placed it in
the box where the hens laid. | then put
in an egg; the old hen mounted the nest
or key and tried to reach the egg, standing
ON the edge of the key, but it was no 90 +;
she then got down in the key. but that
was failure, for she did not have room
to get at the egg; after trying for some
time she gave il up as a bad job. | have
never have had an egg eaten by the hens
since then; all of the nests in my coopS
have a piece of keg in the box, and have
parts of kegs for nests. Do not make
them too deep, but deep enough SO that
the hen cannot reach the bottom when
standing on the edge of the keg, You
that are troubled with hens eating their
eggs, try the plan; it costs but little, and
| think you will never regret the trouble
il will be to outwit the old hen.

Pasturing Meadows.

The principal object in managing mead
OwS is ~ keep down noXiOus weeds and
increase or multiply the useful grasses.
Whatever encourages the growth OF useful
plants tends 70 decrease the number of
noNious ones, through natural system Of
crowding out. The farmer usually com
mences operations for a meadow by de-
Stroying the wild plants by blowing AMI
narrowing the land, after which seeds q:
choice kinds are sown, thereby giving
them the advantage over the wild herbs
formerly in possession Of the soil. Up 10
this point the majority of our farmers pro
coed with some show of system and fore
thought in their operations, but after reach
ing ii. or getting their meadows well eS-
tabliShed, they depart from s. judiciOus
course of management very rapidly.
The first mis- Ike IS in negleCtinE 10 ap-
plv fertilizers that would keep up a yigor-
Gus growth of the tame grass and CON-
penSste tor the loss OF fertility removed in
each crop Of hay. As the soil becomes
too poor for the support OF high order
of plants lower takes their place. the in

There were lively times in New Orleans Oh
the occasion of the assembling OF the Louisi-
ana Legislature on the 4th inst. but, con-
trary to general expectation, tho day passed
off without bloodshed.
The members Of the House assembled, the
Chief Clerk called tho roll, and announced
1O2 members present and a quorum. A mo-
ton was Immediately made. amid much con-
fusion, that l.. A. Witt. (Democrat) be de-
clared temporary Chairman. Amid much ex-
element and uproar, WiltZ took the chair, and
appointed q Sergeant-at-Arms and temporary
Clerk. Col. Lowell (Rep.) protested, on be-
half Of the Republicans, against the manner
OF the temporary organization. Speaker
Witt replied that the manner of organization
was Identical with that of 1868. in which Mr..
Lowell participated Five members, not re-
turned by the Board were declared, by resO-
luton, members of the House. and took their
seats. A motion was then offered to 90 into
permanent organization. This raised a
commotion among the Republicans, but when
q further motion Was made to scat the NOM
bers from the contested parishes referred TO
the Legislature, the excitement, accompanied
with shouts and exclamatlons of all
kinds, was fearful to hear A motion
was then put to admit the members
from four contested parishes reserving the
matter OF contest for the Legislature and it
was carried amid the widest excitement To
such point did the excitement reach, that
the Sergeant-at- Arms was called upon TO seat
members and preserve order The House
then proceeded to choose Witt for permanent
Speaker, whereupon the Republican members
proceeded to leave the hail. but the Sergeant
at-Arms sought to prevent them, and several
scuffies ensued. At this point the military
interfered.
Gen. De Trobriand, with file Of soldiers,
entered the hall and elected those members
who had not been returned as elected by the
Returning Board. Speaker Witt protested
against such interference on the part of the
military, to which Gen. r. replied that he,
as soldier and only second in command,
had to obey the orders of superior, Gen.
Emory, who had ordered him to obey the
instructions Of Gov. Kellogg. After the ex-
pulsion Of the five members who had been
seated in opposition to the decision Of the
Returning Board-the men being pointed
the Republican members returned and took
their seats. Gen De Trobriaud then ordered
Chief Clerk Vigers to call the roll Of members

ocratc members, headed by Mayor Wiltz, then
marched out, after again Offering solemn
protest against the Interference of the mill
tary. The Republicans then proceeded to
organize by the election Of eI-Gov. Michael
Hahn as Speaker.
Gen. Sheridan is now in command of the
forces at New Orleans, having taken charge
on the morning of the meeting OF the Legls-
