REPUTATION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The committee appointed by meetingin
New York on the 27th of December by
the bondholders of the State of North
Carolina to visit that State and endeavor
to bring about settlement of the bonds,
now nine years in default, reported Thurs
day. They found the officers of the gov
ernment and the people even the merch-
ants, apethetic as to the payment of the
debt. The people are too poor, they said,
and cannot live under an increase oftax-
alton. Gov. Vance is inclined to be nom
comnittal, but, on the whole, he Is will
ing to aid in any reasonable plan for q
settlement. The poor whites and a ma
jority of the negroes are repudiators; and
the republican candidate for lieutenant
governor in the last canvass openly de-
clared for Reputation, but was muzzled
by his friends after one or two public
speeches. The newspapers generally are
neutral on the subject, but where an opin-
ion is expressed it is almost always for
repudiation. One newspaper openly

A RIVERS FREAK.
HOW AN IcE-GoRGE' Is CHANGING THE
MIssoURI's CHANNEL. ...


OMAHA, NEB., March 1.-THE Mis-
souri, river is just now full of floating ice,
the result of the recent cold snap, and an
immense ice gorge is formed in the big
bend in northeasterly direction from
the smelling works, causing the stream
Bottom on the Iowa side for over quar-
ter of a mile. Opposite the smelling
works the water pours down over the
Iowa bank into the main channel, form
ing series of falls from four to six feet
high, and over two hundred in number.
At one place, the southern point, the fall
is from forty to fifty feet wide and six
feet high. This cutoff is what has been
expected for several years, and it was
thought that when it did occur it would
form new channel where this boay of
water is now rushing over the bottom.
1t may be that the gorge will make per-
manent cut and thus allow the water to
resume it's old course. a,-

HOW TO BREED SHORT.HORNS.

When the calf is born, It should re
main with its mother two or three days:
after which the mother may be turned
out, but should be let to the calf 10
suck three times day until it is three
months old. The calf for several days
will not suck all the milk of its mother.
She should be milked clean until the
calf will take it ALL When the calf is
six weeks or three months old there
should be kept in a box or trough some
shelled cgrn, which it will soon learn
to eat, and as it advances in age a lit
tie shelled oats should be mixed with
the corn or little mill feed. After it
begins to eat the calf should be fed all
that it will eat clean. AT two or three
months it should be turned on a grass
lot and allowed to suck night and
morning, and the food should be con-
| tinued all the time. Ii should be
weaned at about five or six months old.
Two or three weeks before weaving it
should suck but once day, and then
once in two days, and again once in
three or four days. Thus the mother
will gradually dry up and the calf will
gradually be weaned, and both moth
er and calf will do well. Still con
tinue to feed all it will eat until one
year old. Then give it mixed diet,
such as you would feed grown cattle,
There is at this age nothing better to
develop its organization than oats.
Cut up fine and wet, then put good
fresh shipstuff with it, and mix up
thoroughly. Feed this once day
and shelled corn once day. This
full feed should be continued until
about the 1st of May; then lessen the
feed until the 1st of June. By that
time the grass will be sufficient for the
animal until October. Then com
mence feeding again lightly until grass
fails; then full feed again. Or, if you
have stalk fields, they will do well on
that, with what grass they will get un-
til Christmas. Then they should be
stabbed and full fed all winter, letting
them out every day-a,l day if not
stormy. If stormy, it is best not to
leave them out all day. Yet they
should be let out for exercise and wa
ter every day, stormy or not. The
herdsman should be the judge.
The proper age for breeding, if the
calf be a heifer, with the above treat
ment, is at eighteen to twenty months
old. A bull may be let to few COWS
some younger.
There is one thing to be. said in re-
gard to handling animals. That is,
always treat them kindly. Never get
out of patience yourself and begin to
halloo and abuse the animal. If you
would have them gentle and kind, you
must treat them so. Also have regular
hours for feeding. Let nothing in
terfere with these rules, if you expect
to succeed in your business.-W. W.
ThrGSher.

4 murder and suicide took place at
st Paris, near Urbana, recently, the de-
tails of which are horrible in the ex-
treme. A German by the name of
Louis Desch had become a confirmed
drunkard, and his wife and children
were in daily terror hest he should COM
NIT some bloody deed At last their
ears were justified. for on the night of
the 26th inst, while all the family were
quietly sleeping, he took razor and cut
the throat of his wife from ear to ear al
most severing the head from the BODY.
Then with the manner of a deamon he
started in pursuit Of his children. but
luckily they were awakened by the noise,
and had just time to escape, not however
till they had seen him draw the instru-
ment across his own throat and fall from
loss of blood. The husband and wife
both expired in a short time, and thus
was enacted one of the most terrific
crimes ever known in the history of
horrors.

FALL FLOWING.

Hitherto have been a strong advo-
cate Of piowiug in autumn, but at the
present moment / have some crops
which are everything that could be de-
sired growing on land that was not un-
der any control until late this spring,
and which, therefore was not plowed
until il was nearly time to plant the
crops. Tie excellent condition of
these has shaken my faith somewhat
in the superiority of fall blowing, so
far at least. that it seems the main ad
vantage consists in the very conven
lent set-forward it is il the spring to
have the plowing already done. More
over, when the crop is corn, the cut
worm is not so destructive. and in ad-
dition to these two reasons for having
the plowing done SO as to lie all winter,
it has also been considered that the
frost had then a better effect in pull
verizing the soil and making good
seed bed.
Yet as years roll by a man finds
there is more TO learn then he ever
dreamed of, and farmers need each
others help in investigating many
points and subjects seemingly settled
long ago. A good agricultural paper
affords better opportunities for ex
changing ideas and bringing forward
proofs to settle knotty questions, than
any other device; for there are thous-
ands of farmers il every state who,
though they might not be able to rire
and make a speech, yet could have
their say, without much difficulty, with
pen and ink. Let us discuss together
there 'ore, brother farmers, through
the agricultural papers during the en-
suing fall and winter, all subjects of
interest or benefit to US, and good
humoredly ''agree to differ" on some
of them. No one need be ashamed TO
acknowledge that he has been in the
wrong, for all agree that this is but
saying, in other words, that he is wiser
to-day than he was yesterday.
Farmers, like other classes of men,
have all sorts of characters among
them, but the most numerous set are
those who dislike anything out of the
old routine, and who form an opinion
not at all complimentary of any new
conner in their vicinity, who either
grows crops different from what they
have been accustomed to or prepares

TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER.

"a Practical Butter Maker sends
the following to the Rural New Yorker:
Making bad butter is due not so
much to want of knowledge on the
part of butter-makers, as it is to want
of personal application of that knowl-
edge to all the details of the art by the
farmers wives themselves. To make
butter in the summer months, a place

The water should be 81 deg, and of the

be kept in the deepest. part of the
spring, and thoroughly stirred each
day; and if any detail in the process of
butter making is of more importance
than another, it is the management of
the cream, for if this is spoiled, all sub
sequent care cannot make good butter;
and in order to accomplish this result
the essentiale should be observed; 1t

A DEDICATION.

The sea gives her shells to the shingle,
The earth gives her streams TO the
seas;
They are many, but my gift is single,
My verses, the first fruits Of me
Let the wind take the green and the gray
leaf,
Cast forth without fruit upon air;
Take arose-leaf and vine-leaf and bay
leaf
Blown loose from the hair.
The night shakes them round me in le-
gions,
Dawn drives them before her like
dreams,
Time sheds them like SHOWS on strange
regions,
Swept shoreward on infinite streams
Leaves paIlid and sombre and ruddy,
Dead fruits of the fugitive years;
Some stained as with wine and made
bloody,
And some as with tears.
