Orchard Grass.

We see one or two correspondents of our
agricultural exchanges object to orchard
grass as making poor hay. The reason is,
hey cut it too late. When cut in its first
bloom it is every way as good as Timothy.
As a pasture grass our cows prefer it to
everything, and pick it all out clean before
eating anything else. We moved piece of
orchard grass August l6, and August % the
cut leaves had grown up from six to eight
inches. This was unusual, as it rain ID every
day during the week but four or five inches
growth in week is very common. 1t is the
most valuable pasture grass we ever saw,
both as regards quality, rapid growth, and
indifference TO drouth. We think we do our
readers great service in urging this grass
upon their attention. A recent writer in the
Country Gentleman says; 81 have been much
interested in the remarks made about this
grass of late in the Country Gentleman.
have been familiar with it for the past
twenty years, and consider it one of our best
grasses for permanent pasture. 1t is both
early and late, and resists our dry seasons.

exception the closest fed of any grass in the

CABBAGE WoRM.-Professor Lazenby, of
Cornell University, who gives much atten-
ton to practical experiments in horticul-
ture, says that the cabbage worm has be-
come less formidable of late years, on ac-
count of the attacks of parasite. After
many trials, he finds the following remedies
safe cheap and effective Dissolve one
pound of whale-oil soap in about six gallons
of water, and apply it two or three times
during the season. Or, prepare tar-water by
placing few quarts of tar in barrel of
water, and apply the mixture in the sane
way.

HEADING CARRIAGES IN WINTER,--A
writer in the Rural Nen Yorker says he often
sets out cabbages so late in the season that
the heads are but half-formed when winter
sets in. Just before the ground freezes,
deep furrow is plowed on dry, sandy knoll,
the cabbages are carefully lifted with adhel-
ing soil, and set as thickly as convenient in
the natural position. They are then COW
cred with few inches of straw, and with
the same thickness of soil, partly by blowing
against them. The heads form during win
ter, and they come out in spring white and

Deasis OF Escn. wade.

Bluff old Ben. Wade is dead. He dit d
ut his home in Jefferson, Ohio, at $3.50 A.
N. last Saturday morning, after a linger.
ing illness LASTING over month. hus
one by ole are the old "war horses" OF
the Republican party passing away.
Tie following notice of his life and
services we take from the Cincinnati
Star:
Benjamin Francis Wade was born in
Springfield, Mas. :. October 9th. 1900
lie worked Us ii farmer Or lab0rer la SIM
mer. and as a school teacher i'll winter,
until 1896. when he began TO study law
in Ohio, and in 1923 WAS admitted TO the
bar in Ashiabula county. where he has
ever since resided. La 1885 he Was elect
ed Prosecuting Attorney of that county,
and in 1881 10 the State Senate, 10 which
he was twice reelected.
In lS47 he was chosen presiding Judge
of the Third Judicial district or the state.
In 1851 lie was elected United States
Senator. and reelected in 1857 and 1868
In the Senate Mr.. Wade was steady
opponent OF all measures favorilg
slavery. In 1852 he voted with only five
other Senators 10 repeal the Fugitive
Slave law; he also spoke and voted
against a bill to abrOgate the Missouri
compromise; against the Lecomptou con-
stitution Tor Kansas i'm 1898; against ap-
propriating $50 OOO,000 tor the acquisi-
lion OF Cuba. and against all the com
promises between tIie North aud South
proposed. after Mr. Lincoln's election in
1860. The homestead bill he advocated
for years, and it was in his charge W hen
it WAS finally. passed by the Senate in
1862.
From the outbreak of the civil war, in
1861, Mr.. Wade labOred incessantly tor a
more vigorous policy; was Chairman OF
the joint Committee on the conduct OF
The war, and urged the enactment OF Il
law TO cOnf1scaie all the property OF
leading secessioniStS, aud emaucipate
their slaves. As Chairman OF the Terri
lOrial Committee, he reported Il bill III
1862 aboiishing slavery IN ali tie terri
tories of the government and prohibiting
it in any that might aiterward be .ic-
qured.
After the assassination of President
Lincoln, in 1865, he became President
pro tempOrc OF the Senate, and aciiug
Vice President of the United States.
lie WAS continued as President of the
Senate during the administration of
President Johnson, and his term as pre-
siding officer embraced the most trying
scenes that the occupant of that place
was ever called upon TO manage. He
presided when the Senate tried Presi-
dent johnson on the articles of impeach-
ment. when the conviction OF the Presi-
dent voull haze made him PraS,lanr ot
the United States.
His whole course at that time is too
prominent and is too we'll remembered
to need repeating here. He was can
didate for nomination to the office vt
Vice President in 1868, but was defeated
by lis son-in-law, Mr.. COlfax. In 1871
he was one of the commissioners sent to
San Domingo TO report upon the pro-
posed annexation TO the United States, a
scheme OF which he approved.

Diet as a Eeformasory Process.

The Importance of diet as affecting the
bodily passions has recently received a
singular illustration i'll experiments con-
Quoted by Sir Charles Napier, to deter
mine LieDigs theory that the taste tor
alcoholic liquor my be eradicated by a
regimen OF falinaceous food. Sir Charles
experimental with twenty-seven druDk-
ards, and the result justified the stale
ment of the great chemist. The appetite
for liquors declined and died, it is said,
i'm every instance. One man. aged sixty
years, had been intemperate thirty-five
years, and 10 such a degree that he had
carOuse weekly, and was so much in
jured physically by his exoesses that he
found difficulty in insuring his life. A
nearly fatal attack of delrium tremens
determined him to begin a diet in ac-
cordance with Liebig's plan. In seven
mouths he was cured. at first he be
came very thin, but ut the end of that
time he had gained twenty eight pounds.
The foods named as especially antagO-
nistic to liquor are macaroni, haricot,
beans, dried peas and lentils. These
should be well boiled and eaten with
butter or oil. ALI vegetables may be
eaten. but none are so useful in resisting
the habit as macarOni and other farina-
ceOus fool. Tne carbonaceOus starch
i'm farnaceous and Oleaginous TODD makes
carbon in its alcoholic form repulsive.
The above theory seems to be further
substantiated by the fact that intemper
ance is much less prevalent on the con-
tinent of Europe than in Great Britain.
the use of animal food being far more
general among the mass OF the people
in the latter country than with other
European people, especially in Italy.
