The passage of the Cascade mountains by
the Columbia is that of the Hudson through
the highlands raised to the 9th power, with
rapids thrown in, and the common express
sion, shat at the Dalles the (mile wide) river
sis turned upon its edge" graphically de-
scribes the situation. As we saw it, an
Indian camp, with the men taking salmon
as they went over the hills, added a local
flavor land odor) to the scene.
That region of the upper Columbia fear
is destined to be permanent battle-ground
or slaughter-house until the Indians are, not
simply subdued, but destroyed, As l once
had occasion to remark in print, ssThe Indian
question is nothing but one of horror, how
ever viewed; and if jefferson, looking at the
negro trouble for his country, trembled
when he reflected that God is just, the
statesmen of to-day may we'll shrink from
the settlement of this account" The people
generally, and as represented in Congress,
seem to think it languid, Laodicean kind
of way, that the Indian is not properly
treated; but by the time they awake to its
true realization there will he no Indians left.
Perhaps it is because am now a little
nearer the scene that it affects me more
strongly, but incline to the belief that the
treatment of the Oregon Indians is even
worse than that accorded those on the
plains. It certainly seems so, because many
of tho tribes, being pastoral, are in higher
plane. The Modoc war began in imposition,
and was precipitated by blunder. The Nez
Perces' was heroic though despairing strug-
gle by Joseph for his rights-rights that any
court into which the case could have been
| taken would have sustained. But week
before the outbreak occurred Joseph was at
the house of an officer, and talked, with
tears in his eyes, about his people and their
wrongs. On that wonderful retreat, with
their herds and their families,-a running
| fight for hundreds of miles-no white was
killed but in battle; and up to that time no
white had been killed by Nez Perce since
the county was settled, The other branch
of the tribe are prosperous and peaceable.
The Umat,llas are an intelligent and prosper
ous tribe on the upper Columbia, whose
focks and herds are numerous, and whose
tous hearts, were determined to dispossess
them; melting them at first by trespass and
murder (they have already killed some) to
some violent act of revenge, thus precipitat'
ing war, 5ses,s,s.es'.:ee:: 5.ses,r - .:
The same course is being pursued against
Moses, who controls a powerful band on the
north side of the Columbia. He has no de
sire to make trouble, but the whites (only in
face, not ii heart) now hold him in custody
without real cause, and will almost surely

WHITE CLOVER.

The distant hills the long day thrO'
Have tainted in haze of blue:
The sun has been burning fire,
The day has been warm desire,
But all desire is over
The lights are fading from the west,
The night has brought dreamy rest;
And deep in yOnder wood is heard
The sudden singing of bird,
While here an evening wind has stirred
A slope set thick with clover.
The fields have lost their lingering light,
The path is dusky thrO' the night
The clover is too sweet to lose
Her fragrance with the gathering dews
The skies are warm above her;
The cricket pipes his song again,
The COWS are waiting in the lane,
The shadows fall adOwn the hill,
And silent is the whip~poor-will,
But thro' the summer twilight still
You smell the milk-Whlte cloYer'
The glory of the day has ceased,
The moon has risen in the east,
The distant hills, the meadow near
Are bathed In moonlight, solt and clear,
That wells the landscape over;
And born of rare and strange perfume.
Pure as the clOver's Odorous bloom,
Dear hopes, that are but half confessed
Dim thoughts and lOngings fill the
breast,
Till lost again in deeper rest
Among the blOssomed clover

Thoughts for the Month

Summer crops being laid aside,
autumn crops at once claim atten-
ton. The ground during this
month being generally dry and
hard, everything should be in
readiness to speed the ploughs
whenever aShower of rain falls
Have ploughs sharpened, gear put
in order and everything ready to
hitch up at moments notice.
Stop at once everything else which
interferes, as soon as rain comes.
Glover, turnip, rye and barley
land needs to be put in finest tilth
by the middle of September, and
there is no time to lose. Plough,
cross-plough} harrow and drag
whenever the land is in order
Haul out manure (stable or COM
posD at once, so that no mule
will be kept out of the plough af-
ter rain falls. Some farmers sell
dom fail to get these crops started
in good time others fail Oftener
than they succeed, and the cry is
"bad q lucky no rain, whilst the
truth is, good or bad management
is at the. bottom of it all. One
looks well ahead and makes his
arrangements accordlngly---the
other looks little beyond the end
of his nose, and is never ready
when the golden moment arrives.

very timely article from the expe
rienced gardener. Mr.. Peter Hen

as the splendid roam that took first
premium at the Knoxville fair in
1874. Whep4four years old he
weighed 2,5Q0 pounds. He has
since been sold, and his place at
the head of the herd is now sup
piled by fre Fa
s,.eoesp pu.sn or zrssr, (G,9QO,)
q splendid Rose of Sharon bull,
running back also to the most IA
nous of the Colling herds through
an unbroken line of distinguished
ancestors.
At different times other excel
lent COWS have been purchased
from some of the best herds in
Kentucky. From these purchases
and by breeding to the two bulls
named, the females of the herd
have increased to twenty. This
is, so far as numbers go, q small
herd when compared with many in
Kentucky and other States, but
for its size, it will compare favor
ably with the very best in the
United States. There is a unifOr-
nifty and finish among the differ
ent animals that is to be found on
ly in herds that have been bred
with intelligent care. TO persons
unacquainted with'the art of Short
horn breeding, it may seem to be
as easy thing as one could I'M
agine to breed a fine herd Of cat
tie, given money to begin with.
But the countless failures of rich
amateurs to keep their herds up
to the purchased level, attest the
fact that it takes something more
than money to do the thing right.
1t requires brains Of a high order
and peculiar character. Such
brains manifestIy direct the stock
breeding at Clinchdale. High as
was the purchase level of the herd
all the animals bred are fully up
to it, and some Of the later ones
give fair promise Of raising that
level. If W. S. Shields continues
as he has begun, Clinchdale vii in
a few years, become noted among
Shorthorn breeders throughout the
United States.
Everything connected with the
stock breeding of Clinchdale is
practical. There are no fancy
horns, no show stables. The cat
tie Craze in the luxuriant pastures
winter and summer, save when the
weather is severe. They are not
Over-fed in summer. AS q conse-
quence, they are perfectly healthy
and vigorous; are raised at the
smallest possible cost. Such stock
will do we'll anywhere, and improve
almost anything they may be eros
scd on.

soUTHDowN SHEEP.

In 1875 u select flock OF Cots
wOlds was purchased in kentucky,
with the purpose of breeding them
extensively, but they turned out
badly. Though every care was
taken, they could not be kept up
to the original standard, while
their prndpee deteriorated rapidly
In flesh and weight Of fleece. The
heat of summer seemed too severe
for them. They We're displaced
for the SOuthdOwn, which succeed
ed admirably. The flock at pres
ent consists of about fifty breeding
ewes, twenty-five eve lambs, wean-
ed, twenty seven ram lambs, wean-
ed, ten yearling rams. The ram
lambs are sold off every year, and
so far, the demand exceeds the
supply. The eve flock is to be
increased up to one hundred.
The cattle are Jerseys and

THE LAND OF MENORIEY.

A land without ruins is q land that
has associated with it no memOrles--a
land without memories is land with
out liberty! A land that wears a laurel
crown may be fair to see, but tWine a
few cypress leaves around the brow of
any land, and be that land beautiiess
and bleak, it becomes lovely in its con-
secrated cOrOnet of sorrow, and it wins
the sympathy Of the heart and history.
Crowns of roses fade-crowns of thOrns
endure! Calvaries and crucifiXes take
deepest hold of humanity; the triumphs
of might are transient, the sufferings of
right aIe craven deepest on the chrOni-
Giles OF nations.
Yes! give me land where the ruins arc
spread,
And the living tread light on the hearts
of the dead;
Yes! give me land that is blessed by
the dust,
And bright with the deeds OF the down.
trOdden just!
Yes! give me land that hath legends
and lays
Enshrining the memories of long van
ished days.
Yes! give me Il land that hath story and
song,
To tell of the strife of the Right and the
wrOngl
Yes! give me land with a grave in
each spot,
And names in the grave that shall not
be forgot!
Yes give me the land of the wreck
and the tomb,
There's a grandeur in graves, there's a
glory in glOOml
For sout Of the gloom future brightness
is born
AS after the night looms the sunrise of
morn;
And the graves of the dead With the
grass Overgrown,
May yet form the fOotstOOl of Liberty's
throne,
And each single wreck in the warpath
Of Might
Shall yet be Il rock in the Temple OF
Right.

THE BREEDING STOCK.

This is the pride of Clinchdale.
This has given it reputation far
and wide already, and is destined
in all human probability to make
it one of the most noted farms, not
only in Tennessee, but of the en-
tire South. This breeding stock
consists of sheep and cattle.

ted quite large attendance of those

already on hand. Now for crops
that may be planted and utilized
early next season.
Clover stands at the head Of the
list, red clover in strong clay and
limestone soils, crimson, Califor-
MIA or burr clover in all soils if
rich. The last two are annuals,
planted next month they VIII now
er and produce seed next spring
and then die. For feed early in
the spring, they are probably to be
preferred to red clover, unless one
had contemplated sowing the lat
ter for other reasons. The Cali
fornia clover is not always rclished
by stock at first, they must be
taught to eat it the crimson is
fully as palatable to them as red
clover. Put the land in good
tilth, manure heavily with stable
manure, crushed cotton seed or
cotton seed meal, and 100 or $50
lbs. of superphosphate per acre
and sow of crimson clover Is lbs.
per acre, of California clover 8 or
4 bushels per acre (the seed OF
the latter being in the burr) and
harrow or brush in and then roll.
By the first of March, or possibly
earlier, you can cut and feed to
stock. We do not recommend ln-
cerne in an emergency, such as
now under consideration, because
it is when young more delicate
than the above plants, and more
uncertain the first season.
The next in value is barley
admirable both for grazing and
soiling early and nutritious
furnishing also matured grain for
stock feed earlier than any other
crop we can grow. Can be haiVes-
ted in May, from 3 to 4 weeks ear
lier than oats. The threshed grain,
soaked in water or crushed in the
mill, makes excellent horse feed.
All know it must be sown on rich
land-for grazing 3 TO 4 bushels
per acre for seed 2 bushels will
answer. -oafQ tntn
. The main dependence must,
however, be placed upon oats
sOwn from 1st September to mid
| die October, according to latitude,
or again early in January. Those
sown in January will not mature
quite as early as those sOwn in
autumn. The red rust proof on
good land is the most certain, and
at least two bushels seed per acre
should be sown-on excessively
rich land as much as 4 bushels
per acre may be sown. The thick
er the seeding, the earlier the ma
turing. Prepare the land we'll,
feed the crop well, and don't re-
tard growth by grazing, unless it be
necessary in the fall to prevent
'jointing' before the freezes come.
Perhaps it would be well to divide
the crops and take two chances,
sowing part in autumn and a
part in January. The latter SOW
ings in our own experience have
been very successful.
They have this advantage, that
they can be made in cotton land,
and the seed thoroughly ploughed
and narrowed in, without inter-
fering with the cotton crops
They can be manured also with
cotton seed without the necessity
Of killing or crushing them. Sow
the first open spell in January
we have succeeded well, however,
by sowing as late as the last week
in the month. If sowings are
made in cotton fields in Septem-
Der, follow the pickers with the
ploughs siding the cotton as clean
as possible, then sow seed and
cover with sweep or harrow

THE JERSEYS.

The Jerseys were not brought
to Clinchdale until 1877, when a
bull and four hcifers were pur-
chased to supply demand from
the Southern States. Since that
time other purchases have been
made from the best herds in New
York, New Jersey and Maryland.
The animals purchased were Sc
lected without regard TO price or
fancy, but for thoroughly estab-
lished character for milk and but
ter. AS consequence, there are
to be found in the Clinchdale herd
representations Of some Of the
most celebrated animals of the
Jersey world. At present the herd
consists of fifteen COWS and heifers
in calf, headed by Sir John of
Glastonbury, (2620) q splendid an
imal, weighing to-day, when 2S
months old, 1,lOO lbs. even. There
is striking uniformity Of style
among the animals of the herd that
is very pleasing, and suggests the
fact that they have been selected
and are being bred to fixed type.
Eleven of the lot are solid faWnS,
three are fawn and white, and only
one dark grey. But the charac-
teristics of the herd are the milk
ing mark, the broad escutcheons,
golden ears, soft udders, broad,
deep hips, mild and placid eyes.
At present there are more or
ders on hand for calves than can
be supplied, and at satisfactory
prices. There are no older an
imals for sale. Quite number of
calves have been sent South by
Freight, and thanks to the careful
management of the Tenn, Va. &
Ga. road, they have arrived in
good condition, and have given
great satisfaction.
A number Of the pure Jerseys
are regularly MIXED in the family
dairy. 1t is contemplated to in
crease this branch Of the work,
