GRASSES FOR PAsTUURE-A corrcspon-
dent of the Southern Cultiuator, makes the
following inquiry :-"I had very fine clo-
yer patch which seeded last year and died
out, it came up very sparsely this spring,
but not anything like stand. L have
ploughed it up to plant in corn, hoping the
clover will come up this fall and make me
another pasture; but as 1 am of opinion
that clover will not live in this country more
than two years, and cannot be pastured the
first year, thereby losing the land one half
the time, have concluded to SOW some 9TH

is there any grass better? say for winter and
summer pasture. If SOW Blue grass, when
shall l sow, and how much per acre ? If
you think any other grass better, say what,
how and when to SOW? recollecting am
planting corn on the land.
10 which the Editor of that journal re-
plies: 'By moving clover twice, and if
necessary three times, in season, so as to
prevent its seeding, its life may be prolonged
one or more years. gOn the other hand if
allowed to mature a good crop of seed, the
land becomes impreguated with them, and
you may count upon good catch of clover
whenever it is seeded down in small grain.
We have good stand of clover now on
land that was seeded but once, and that ten
years ago. No one kind of grass will fur
nish both winter and summer pasture
Blue grass on land adapted to it (rich strong
clay Or lime) furnishes excellent grazing in
early spring and late autumn, but gives
poor bite in hot weather. A mixture Of
Blue, Orchard and Herds grass, and White
clover would be better than any single grass
say bus. Blue, bus. Orchard, bus
Herds, and lbs. White clover to an acre
For summer pasture properly all means
have Bermuda lot. Take corn off the
land as early as possible-plough and har.
row very thoroughly, SOW seed and tery
slightly brush in. Do this, if possible, by
the first of October.

TURNIPs.

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIVAToR.-The-
period for sowing turnips, especially Ruta-
bagas, is near at haud, and firm in tile convic-
tion that q is great crop, we are disposed
10 offer a fSw modest suggestions relative to
their cultivation,
E While Rutabagas may be made to produce
good crops when sown in August, (and
even as late as the 10th of September still
much kstseT. crops may be made by sowing
In July-tbe earlier the better, if seasons
are favorable. At any rate have the land
we'll ploughed, and narrowed if necessary,
by the 1st of July. Lay off rows 2a or
feet apart, and put in the manure, whether
compost or guano, and list upon it. Then
level down the ridges with rake, or scrapor
attached to the plough. The next thing to
be done is to wait for the next rain, and as
soon as it is over, draw shallow furrow in
the centre of the beds, q do this with the
upper corner Of the Warren hoe) SOW the
seed and cover by running the same imple-
u,eut on one sidetof the seed ;furrow, or
rake of the scraper may be made to do the
work. Roll at once either with o light
roller or empty barrel. A common Railroad
wheelbarrow, provided with a twelve inch
wheel makes q convenient roller for ordinary
garden purposes to roll seeds. For rolling
cloddy beds, few stones may be put in to
give additional weight
In 3 to 5 days, the seeds will be up, if
they ar good BE sure and get good seed
Try them before sowing time, aud if they
prove first class, do not SOW too thickly
Shortly after the seeds are up, run round
with triangular harrow, running the out
side tooth as Gloss as possible to the plants
without covering them. If harrow is
not among the tools of the farm, use light
sweep. If any signs Of insects are visible,
sprinkle the plants while the dew is on,
with mixture of road dust and ashcs-half
and half. Dust aud land plaster is better,
but in case the plaster is not obtainable,
ashes may be substituted. To either mix.
turc handful or so Of superphosphate to
the bucket. may be advantageously added
AS soon as the plants show good stand,
chop out, with q 10 or II inch hoe After
the first rain, hoe over and thin to 2 plants.
At the next hoeing, thin to one, leaving
the strongest. Soon after break up the
middles thoroughly with scooter, and then
use sweep dd E6itun,. Use a wide sweep
to cover the whole space, and run only one
furrow, and do this until the tops interfere
with it,
l believe any one following these sugges-
tions will rarely fail to make profitable
crops.
If the Rutabagas should fail, there will
DC plenty of time to make the deficiency
good with rough turnips. Iffact the "Yel
low Aberdeen" rough turnip is almost as
good as Rutabaga, and will keep as well
Sown in August and September, it makes
splendid return. commend this variety
to tho readers Of the Cultivator. 1t does
not grow off so rapidly as the ordinary White
Flat, but it makes up for it in the end. I
conclude with the affirmation, IL is a. great
crop. Let us raise them in abundance.

CoPpERAs WATER.-J. c. Story, in a
communication to the CAautaugua Farmer,
gives the result of experiments with cop
peras water applied to tomato plants and
Towering shrubs, as follows:
In Erie, | bought six tomato plants for
early. use. | set them out near the house.
When they began to grow nicely, watered
four plants with a solution Of sulphate of
iron, commonly called copperas, three times.
l took rty-gallon cask and filled it with
water, and in this l dissolved five pounds
Of copperas. Now for the result. The
plants watcrcd with the solution were two
weeks earlier than the others. My diary
says: October 9, 1877, picked tomatoes
of second growth, and third crop growing
and vine still blooming" The two vine.
auwatered with the solution were at this
time dead
tried it again, this 1873, with the same
remarkable results-two crops early, one
late. The tomatoes of both crops were
large. nice and delicious. AS my casks Get
in the garden, the rose bushes and other
towering plants got occasional contribu.
tions Of it, and the flowers produced were
extraordinarily fine. Try it.

Sow CLovER.-Sow clover. 1t will
pay you. A good clovor pasture means
tat stock and yellow rolls of butter iD
abundance. Nothing in the way of green
crops equals clover, as a fertilizer of ex-
hausted soils, if turned under at the proper
stage. 1t will pay to raise clover for the
seed alone, which will always command n
fair price in the market. The first crop of
clover can be grazed, or cut for hay, as one
deems best; the End crop saved for the
seed. The long tap-roots of the clover,
which penetrate far down into the soil, af.
ter decaying, add greatly to the fertility of
the soil. One season in clover, puts the
land in splendid fix for any kind of grain.
Since we have such vast acres of land in
the South, which are SO well adapted TO the
successful growth Of this valuable plant, it
would seem that red clover should receive a
much greater share of attention than it
now does with us SO. Lipe Stock Jour

CONTROLLING Vicious HORsEs.-A new
and very simple method Of training vicious
horses was exhibited in West PHILADELPHIA
recently, and 1.-The manner in which some of
the widest horses were subducd was aston.
ishiug. The first trial was that of kick.
ing or "bucking" mare, which, her owner
said, had allowed no rider on her back for
period of at least five years. She became
tame and gentle in about as many minutes,
and allowed herself to be ridden about with.
out sign of her former wildness. The
means by which the result was accomplished
consisted of piece of light rope, which
was passed around the front jaw of the
mare, just aboys tho upper teeth, crossed in
her mouth and thence secured back Cf her
neck. 1t was claimed that no horse woulG
kick or jump when thus secured, and that
a"bucking' horse, after receiving the treat.
ment few times, will abandon his vicious
way forever. A very simple method was
also shown by which a kicking horse could
be shod. 1t consisted in connecting the
animals head and tail, by means of rope
fastened to the tail, and then to the bit,
and drawn tightly enough to incline the
horses head to one side. This, it is claimed,
makes it absolutely impossiblefor the horse
to kick on the side Of the rope. At the
same exhibition horse, which for many
years had to be bound to the ground, to be
shod, suffered the blacksmith to operate on
him without attempting to kick while Sc.
cured in the manner described. Exchange.

OLD LOVE LETTERs-Only bundle of
old yellowed paper tied together by faded
ribbon, these are all that may be left to
remind the gray haired creature that toar-
fully bends over them of one ON whom tho
grassy sod may have mouldered for years,
or whose affections trifed with by her, have
found dwelling place in more constant
heart. This tear-stained packet is all that
connects the present with the past, and as
pores over its contents, the frosty clasp Of she
years is revealed before the burning words
Of love, only to be clnched tighter as stern
realities now draw the curtain of regret
before all the alluring promises Of the long
ago. From these faded lines the chord
of memory runs back to the time when they
grew fresh and glossy beneath the writer's
hand, mute messengers from burning
hearth that bresthed it's love upon the page.
But why touch the chord when every note
awakens a longing that can never be graft
fed, for who can recall an echo from the
past Fold them up carefully; they are
the tomb Of your own dead hopes, moulder-
ing slowly into nothinguess. Peace to their
ashes.

snurIIERN CRAMTIsmING.

The Southern Democrats are little
staggered when called upon to confront
their dogma of State sovereignty, and are
ready to plead an abb without proof to sus-
tain it, Even the Louisville COWier-JOurndl,
when the issue it has created is held up to
view, exclaims: "There is not party in
" the country which believes or asserts
" that the States are supreme" We assert
here and now that the Southern portion OF
the Democratic party-and that is about all
there is of it-during the late extra session
of Congress made the country by their ut
terances and acts believe that they believed
in State supremacy, and the country has
taken them at their word, and will settle
the account as presented and stated by
themselves 1t is too late, in the face of
recorded history, to attempt an escape now
from the full responsibility of the position
the Democrats have taken on this ques-
ton. The attitude assumed by that party
on the supervisors of election law, and the
right of the Nation to protect the ballot
boXin the election of National officers, even
in the use OF its own troops, if needs be, was
nothing less than u declaration that the
States are and shall be supreme, and that
the National power shall surrender its pre-
negatives to the States in the matter of the
election of its own officers.
THE COuricr-JourRdl cannot afford to say
that THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has
"always been an organ of Napoleonism,'
unless it can afford to stand responsible for
palpable untruth. The NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN has stood fearlcssly by the Con-
stitution and the Union in their integrity,
aud unless that is Napoleonism, the charge
of the C-J cannot in any degree lie rgainst
it. 1t would be far better if our cotempo-
rary would get down to the work Of hon
estly sustaining this Government i'll its in
tegrity and supremacy in all matters re-
lating to the National welfare instead Of
skirmshing around under false colors, and
| like the waterman, look one way and row
the other There is no halfway house on
the road of loyalty to the Nation, and if the
C.-J. desires to secure for itself or its party
public confidence in their devotion to the
cause of National supremacy, they mus
make new and more consistent record fol
themselves ut the loyal end of the path
The people cannot be deceived any longer

NATIONAL SUPREMACY.

clared supremc.-7Hc National Republican.
Then there will never be any peace" if it
must come in that way. Neither the Union
or the States can possibly be supreme" as
compared to the other, aud all such statements
are bosh.-Montgomery (Ala) Adrertis,r.
Whether " bosh or not the men who
conquered the rebellion will never consent
to the doctrine that there is no supreme
power in the Constitution of the United
States over every inch of its territory, and
they will fight it out on that line if it takes
centuries. TO consent that the Nation is
not supreme over all its domain is TO con-
cede the right of secession and that the
bond of union may be broken at will by
any State combined within its compact. 1t
is the seed of secession and rebellion that
the South is now fructifying under the
banner of peace, and so long as that is at
tempted, rs we said before, there is no pos
sbilty of q permanent peace or even of
truce, until that question is settled by full
concession that the Nation is supreme, or
one or the other of the parties to the issue
| lS ullCIlg NduiuloASd' lAp illISlANy anu
supremacy of the Nation was the objective
point ofthe war to crush rebellion, and that
principle of right will never be yielded by
the loyal people of the United States until
| they and their children and their chldren's
children shall have been vanquished and
wiped out The South, if it intends to per-
petuate in this Nation the heresy of State
supremacy, did not reopen that question
one moment too soon for the National well
fare. The sooner the issue is made, the
sooner over, for the end must come some
time. That dogma will never be tolerated
| by the cOnquerors of the rebellion. They
will not resort to force in arms to resist it
unless, as in 1861, the unity and integrity
of the Nation demand it, but they will
meet it at the ballot-box and there COM
bat it until it is everthrown by popular sem
timent Their readiness to do this is
evidenced by the popular developments
since the late extra session of Congress. So
soon rs it became apparent that the doctrine
of State sovereignty was to be the rallying
centre of the late insurgent States, the loyal
people met it in every loyal State, and thus
far it has been literally crushed out by the
ballot This is and will continue to be the
absorbing and controlling question until the
South makes fulland faith full surrender OF
the heresies that led TO the war,
