Potash for Grapes and Potatoes.

T A French journal, the Revue Horticoic,
records the results of experiments con-
Quoted by NJ. de Vile at Vincennes,
which will interest all grape.growers, and
which show conclusively that the use on
vines of wood ashes-which contain
much potash-is justified by both theory
and practice. A number of vines were
planted under like conditions, each in q
separate plot, divided from its fellows by
q pathway rather more than three feet in
width Zone meter The whole area coy
cred was hundred square meters, each
square meter being planted with one va
riety Divine only, each plant thus being
at distance of one meter from its fel-
lows. Each square plot received every
year the same treatment, except as to
manure.
One plot was treated with the COM
plete manure, while from each of the
others was successively eliminated one of
the constituent elements of the manure
in question. Thus, while one plot re-
ceiIed the complete manure, nitrogen
was taken from the second, phosphates
from the third, potash from the fourth,
lime from the fifth, and one of the plots
was left without manure of any kind.
This treatm ent was continued from 1860
to 1875, with results as follows: The
rines which received the complete ma
nure we're remarkably thrifty, full of Wig
crous foliage, and burdened with luscious
lunches those which received the COM
plete manure, with the exception of pot
ash, made very moderate growth, had few
and poor leaves, and no fruit whatever,
while those not manured at all were
stunted, almost wholly leahess-llttle
more than mere stalks.
The result is sufficiently striking, but
the experiments also showed that where
potash was applied and the other ele-
ments successfully eliminated, the growth
of the vine and the yield of the crop pre-
sented no sensible difference-a cireum-
stance showing that potash is indispensa-
BILE TO the vine. Other substances may
be omitted and yet the vine may flourish,
but if the potash be omitted, the vine
simply exists without producing q crop,
90 that after thirteen years the vines not
only produce no grapes, but scarcely any
leaves, and those leaves so weak as not
to be able to resist the action of the wind
or exposure to the sun, and, in conse-
quence, become ready prey to mildew'

with reference to potatoes, and with like

Sheep Husbandry.

II is allowed on all hands that sheep
husbandry is the best for keeping the
lands in good condition. Sheep eat the
pastures cleaner than cattle. They eat
turnips in the field, and they manure the
land better than other animals. They
produce wool as we'll as mutton, and, al
though it is not desirable to expose them
to cold winds and rains in winter, they
stand cold better than other kinds of
stock. English and Scotch farmers, ac-
customed to raising turnips and sheep, q
combination which has very largely in
creased the productiveness of England,
came in large numbers to the province of
Ontario, in Canada, and these two
branches of husbandry have done much
to make that one of the most prosperous
regions of this continent. Sheep hus-
bandry should be studied by the national
bureau of agriculture in all its branches,
by getting information from Saxony,
Spain, Syria, Scotland and England, and
from all parts of this continent on the
following points:
1st. The distinctive advantage and dis
advantages of the different breeds of
sheep.
End. The soils and climates most suit
able for each breed.
3rd. The treatment and food best adap-
ted to them.
Doubtless all this knowledge is to be
found already scattered among our farm
ers, but it is not likely that any indiyid-
ual ia acquainted with more than q part
of it. We have extensive mountain
ranges in America, on some or all of
which the little Scotch highland sheep
might be the most suitable and profit
able.
It is, I believe, the hardest of all
sheep, and will thrive better on poor pas
lures than any other. 1t also furnishes
the best mutton that goes to the London
markets, and its wool, though coarse, is
needed for carpets and other coarse
fabrics. With highland sheep, Scotch
shepherds and collie dogs to take care of
them, our mountain ranges might be
turned to excellent account.
There is another breed of sheep very
suitable for the colder parts of this coun-
try, namely the Cheviot. A Scotch
sheep farmer from the Cheviot hills,
near the English border, brought this
breed to Lower Canada, and found it the
best adapted for that climate, of all the
breeds he tried. The value of the wool
and the value of the mutton of breeds of
sheep are usually in inverse proportions,
and he found the two better combined
for profit in the Cheviot than in any
other breed.
The Alleghanies, Adirondacks, Blue
Mountains, Rocky Mountains, Sierra
Nevada, and other ranges, are doubtless
all to be great sheep raising regions at
no distant date, as several of them are al
ready, and the sooner the Agricultural
bureau at Washington obtains and pub
fishes all needed information on this
most important subject the better.
Many capitalists would invest in sheep,
knowing that it is sure investment, but
lack the practical experience; and some
who have experience lack capital, but q
combination of the two would insure
profitable results.-Adam Scott, in Kansas

HIS MILITARY CAPACITY.

In estimating the military record of
this fiery and inpetuous, but yet most
methodical and calculating officer, one
must consider the important fact that
Gordon was wholly unframed to war.
He lacked the great benefit of a military
education. He was a civilian officer,
wholly untutored in the curriculum OF
war. His fighting capacities were SIM
ply the intuitive genius Of battle in the
man. His strategy came by native in
stinct. 1t is true that he never had an
opportunity to see if he was capable Of
the large combinations and comprehen-
sive plans of campaign upon q great
arena. But in the crises of grand bat
ties he had an eagle perception of the
right thing to do such as only true mill
tary inspiration can give. He had, too,
the rare art of handling his troops with
an exceptional vigor and precision. Cor.
don showed that he knew the value of
time, dispatch and audacity. IT is an
unsolved problem what he could have
arisen to. As il was, unframed soldier rs
he was, he came out of the war with such
a glowing record of achievement that
there mas no limit to the prophecy of his
soldierly possibilities, and among the
great people of his Own State he return.
ed home q very idol in their pride and
affection.

.enpno,N,s RAaE COURAGE.

Nearly all men are brave enough TO
fight. Human nature in the average
is courageous enough and combatiye
enough. Personal bravery is not rare
quality by any means. But there is a
degree of courage, not common, chat is
very rare and very attractive, that has in
tia sort of heroic eIaltation that carries
its possessor in . sublimated atmosphere
of chivalric feeling and knightly deed.
It's inspiration makes men do heroic
things. Those animated by it show the
God.sike spirit of an invincible intre-
pidity. Their great souls rise above
danger and pain and exhibit the swelling
incentive of noble aspiration and the i'm.
periops stimulation Of high thought and
lofty purpose. Farragut, the great naval
leader on the Northerp side, was such
a man. Gordon possessed this exalted
personal courage in its fullest degree, and
he made, as sublime-s demonstration of it
at the battle of Sharpsburg as the history
of ancient or modern warfare can fur
nish. He was Colonel there, and his
regiment held salient position impor-
tant to maintain. The fire upon it was
frightful. Gordon was wounded twice
in the right leg, then painfully in the
left arm and then in the shoulder. he
refused to leave the field, but bloody and
staggering with pain and weakness, he
remained at his post commanding his
men, who adjured him to retire. No
ordinary courage could have wrought
such heroism. 1t was q magnificent
display of an intrepid devotion to duty
and lofty zeal, such as is rarely seen.
At length a fifth bullet, passing through
his left cheek, stretched him insensible
on the ground and brought his superb
endurance to q termination. And to this
day Gordon carries this eloquent scar
upon his face, conspicuous and DEATH
less testimony of his magnificent gal
lantry. Gordon's appearance and man
ner bear the impress of his chiyalric
spiris. It is impossible to mistake it.
His fine figure, his martial bearing, his
frank, handsome face with its expression
of nobility, and his gentle but manly
courtesy, all unerringly represent the
leonine soul of the man, his truth, cour-
tesy and goodness.

Gambetta had the floor. The Bo-
napartists ragged and made every ef
fort in their power to silence him.
When he came to that point in his
speech where he said that the govern
ment had gained forty seats by theft
and fraud" such row as one never
sees in America, even at a primary
meeting, occurred "The investiga-
tion will establish this" said Gambetta.
"Take back the word theft" yelled
Qaul de Cassagnac. II have no or

Gambetta. A little later, NJ Creneo
dOrnano, picturesque Bonapartist,
who recently announced that his party
"would make such paste out of the
republicans that even the dogs wouldn't
touch it," interrupted Gambetta again,
asking if the orator thought he was
still in the Cafe Procepe, or in the
sites which he used to frequent. "Go
care for the kennel where you are pre-
pairing your republican paste, M. Gre
neo d0rnano," was Gambetta's con-
temptuous response. At this juncture
NJ. Creneo dOrnano ran down from
his seat to the foot of the tribune stairs
and shrieked out provocation at Gam
BETA. The noise on both right and
left was almost deafening. Finally NJ.
Grevy, in his stern impartiality, made
Gambetta take back his phrase about
"theft and fraud" The orator did so,
as he thought it premature, but he re-
marked: "When the investigation
gets to work you will have the proof
of what | have advanced" which re-
minds one of the actor in the opera
bouffe, who says: 81 take back what
said, but I maintain it," Poor M.
Grevy was so much called upon that
his work was tripled. At one point
said: "Mr. President we
cannot tolerate such language" 'tDo
you know how to tolerate anything
from others, sir?" inquired Gregy, imper-
"Gambetta," said French
writer describing him as he appeared
On somewhat similar occasion some
years since, was magnificent in the

phrase we'll describes him as he ap-
peared yesterday. Planting himself
solidly in the tribune, and setting
forth his tremendous forearm, which
at times seemed more eloquent than
1is words, he kept solidly at his work
until he had crushed his adversaries.
During the latter half of his speech
