He Is Travelling for Pleasure.
Peck's Sun.

A correspondent wants to
know what the Sun thinks
OF Governor Smiths going
about the state putting up jobs
to be renominated. The Sun
does not think that he is tray
cling about the state for that
purpose. He would not do it.
He would leave such things to
the wicked element OF his
party. The governor is an
eminently social gentleman.
During the past two years ho has
had many invitations to visit diff
ferent parts Of his dominion, but
weighty state matters have kept
him from accepting these invita-
tons. But now, after he has got
his crops in, he has u few weeks
upon his hands in which there is
no special business demanding his
attention, and he is going around
to familiarize himself with the
wants of his people, aud to become
acquainted with them. We arc
informed that on these visits, the
governor has an understanding
with his friends, that politics must
not be mentioned under any cir
cumstanees. We noticed it ut
Oshkosh last week. Mr.. Smith
came there upon invitation of n
democratic friend, Mr.. Ryan, pure
~ on u social mission. He was
approached in tho corridor Of the
hotel, by tho wicked Hold. Taylor,
and the perverse Myron McCord,
and it was evident to lis that they
spoke to him Of political matters.
Mr.. Smith seemed very much
hurt, and though we did not hear
hisswords, he seemed excited, aud
probably told thom, in few well
chosen remarks, not to lot it occur
again. No, Gov. Smiths Baptist
training would not permit him to
enter politics--very deep.

s.st, stated to your correspondent
that he had often seen Henry
Clay leave his place in the midst
Of a speech, walk gravely to the
box, take a pinch and continue his
remarks. When was a page,
nearly fifty years ago, said he,
*many Of the Senators would give
me q sign which indicated that
they wanted snuff and | would
carry the box to them. Nearly
all the Senators used snuff in
those days. Henry Clay was in
the habit OF giving me 80 cents
Il week to keep his box full Of
snuff, and | have never forgotten
that when he left here for the last
time he owed me 30 cents for this
service. | never brought a bill
against the estate" said the old
gentleman, smiling, "and guess
the debt is outlawed by this
time.

On each side Of tho Vice. Presi-
dents seat in the United States

boxes, which arc kept filled by tho
attendants. They arc tho result
of a custom inaugurated almost at
the foundation Of the Govern.
mcnt, when snuff.taking was a
universal habit. Thurman is the
only Senator who makes a habit
OF using snuff, but sometimes d
Senator will stop aud take an
occasional pinch, while tho many
visitors to tho chamber take q
little out ofcuriosity. AT first the
box was kept on the Vice. Piesi,,

many of the Senators used the
article, and 50 frequently forgot to
bring their boxes with them, that

Sheep-Grubs in Head.

Grubs are deposited in the nostrils
of the sheep, during the months of
July and August, by the sheep bot
fly { Hstrus OVis). Various remedies
have been offered. All of which are
to dislodge the grubs, or prevent the
gad-fly from depOsiting the egg or
grub. Each theory is received, but
that the fly deposits the living grub,
is advanced by Riley and generally
believed of late.
AS soon as the larva is deposited,
it begins to creep upwards, irrita-
ting the delicate Innings of the nose
as it goes up. 1t remains in the
head till May or June, when fully
matured. Then they drop to the
ground, where they remain forty to
sixty days, when the fly comes forth
from its pupa state to propagate its
kind. Its life in this state is brief.
1t eats nothing. Only deposits its
larva in the nostrils of the sheep.
During this time, if the sheep could
be kept on new pastures, where the
bot-fy had not been dropped in the
grub state, all would fare well per-
haps.
Such preventives as keeping well
ploughed piece of ground for the
sheep to thrust their noses into; or
smearing tar on the sleeps noses,
two or three times a week; or dust
ing the sheep in the barn, closely
confined, for few minutes with
slaked lime, to make them cough
and sneeze, so they will throw the
young grubs out in the operation of
sneeZing.
Sailing sheep in auger holes, bor-
ed into log a couple of inches, with
tar smeared around these holes, so
the sheep may smear their noses in
getting at the salt, is practiced by
some effectively. The inhaling of
carbolic acid vapor is recommended
by some. A feather, dipped in oil
Of turpentine, and gently passed up
the nOstrils and turned around sew
eral times, has been practiced. A
weakened solution of carbOlic acid,
or creosote, has been used the same
way.
Sheep with grub in the head,
ought to be well fed to keep up the
vitality and strength of the sheep.
The extra demands for this irrita-
ting cause, can hardly be estimated.
The trying season on sheep from
this parasite, are the late winter and
early spring months.
Lambs on account of the more
tender state of the Innings, suffer
more seriously from their assaults
than older sheep.-Colman's Rural
World. 4ti

Beef Cattle.

There is a general complaint in all
the markets of the country that the
cattle offered for sale are not nearly
as good as the wants Of the markets
demand. Especially is it difficult to
obtain any quantity Of neat, tidy,
plump 1,1OO to 1900 pound cattle.
There is no danger, we apprehend,
Of overstocking the market with
that class of stock, as we rarely have
enough to satisfy the inquiry. With
all the advances our farmers are
making in the improvement Of cat
tie, it is painfully evident that by far
the greater part of them are wasting
their feed and care on inferior and
improbable animals.-Drovers' Price

Panels For a Hurdle Fence.


The fence is made of Stats 3
inches wide, l inch thick, and any
length desirable or convenient-l
prefer twelve feet. AS many Of
these are used to make Il panel as
may be deemed advisable. The
uprights, or end pieces to which
the Stats are nailed for forming
the panel, are 2 inches wide, Il
inches thick, and as long as the
fence is desired to he high, and
three pieces are put in each panel.
Two pieces are at one end, and
about 2 or 3 inches apart. At the
other end piece is nailed on the
Stats or 6 inches from the ends.
This permits free extension of
the ends of tht Stats, 50 that these
ends may pass through the spaces
in the next panel, and thus form a
lock when the panels are set up
and stretched. AS matter of
course, the fence will have a
WORM which will be of greater
or less degree, according as the
two upright pieces at one end are
farther or closer apart. If these
two end pieces are nailed on oppo-
site sides of the Stats, the one will
be made to brace against the 9th
er when the fence is up. If it is
desired that the end pieces should
set into the ground, so as to help
hold the fence in position, they
must be made as much longer be
low as is required. l have, how.
ever, concluded it is better tc
drive a small stake at each angle,
on one side only, than to make the
end pieces longer than the height
of the panels. A piece of tarred
twine may be tied round the posts
to hold the fence against all acci-
dents.-Cor. Cultivator & Country
Gentleman.

The Value of Red Clover.

An observation extending over
a period Of thirteen years, in this
Galloway Co., Missouri, teaches
me or rather confirms the teach
ings of my boyhood, that clover is
one of the most valuable, if not the
most valuable forage plant that we
have for this climate. But for
clover, this year, our hay crop
would have been almost total
failure; as it is we have clover
meadows that will make two tons
of hay to the acre of good feed
In those meadows that are a mix
ture of clover with the grasses
proper, the only grass that stood
the drought and made anything
like a crop, was red top and orch
ard grass. These grasses hold "a
long time and this year gave the
second growth of clover time to
mature sufficiently to make good
hay. l SOW it in the woods, on
old pastures, in the meadows, in
fact everywhere | find bare
place or a spot where the grass is
thin. My father has been raising
the mammoth for thirteen years,
prefers it to the small or common.
My practice has been to mix
The mammoth nearly all dies
when the seed is permitted to ma
ture on strong land. 1t (the
mammoth) is equal to crop of
buckwheat for cleaning up the
land, and better for rotting the
stumps out of new grounds. 1
have seen raised in this county
between four and five bushels of
seed of this variety per acre on
very thin and worn land.

The starch is taken out of the
statement that ostrich eggs are
hatched in the East by the sun.
Since they have been reared in
confinement it has been found that
the hen lays an egg every day, un-
til there are from fifteen to eigh-
teen in the nest, which is simply a
shallow hollow scratched out of
the ground, sandy place being
usually fixed upon for this pur-
pose. Incubation takes six weeks,
the male taking his turn to sit
with the female.

And now our old Uncle George
is writing poetry to the "Maid OF

1t is folly to keep old sheep. They
should be turned off to the hatcher
in their prime. 1t does not take
half the amount to fatten them.
When they get old and thin, in or
der to put them in the condition for
slaughter, the whole structure must
be rebuilt -Four sets Of lambs are
all any eve should bear; this will
bring her to five years, and this is
the age when, with a little extra
care, she will round up to full car
cass. Exceptions may be made
when the breed is scarce, and the
blood is more durable than anything
else.

The grange contemplates three
things concerning the farmer: The
making Of money. the acquisition of
knowledge, and the building up of
character-or which may be express
ed in three words-labor, culture,
fidelity. The true grange keeps
these constantly in view, and works
to promote them. Differences of
opinion may exist as to the best
mode Of attaining the ends aimed at;
but to insure success, it will not do
to ignore any of them. Each must
have its due attention, because each
has its bearing upon the farmers
life, and he only can be called a sue
cessful man, who has given due at
tention to all. The grange is a bless
ing only in the good which it dis
penses.

That clover should be cut during
the early Towering Of the plant will
be seen by the following quotation
from Wolf, the well-known German

cut in full flower it contains 46,07

Fairs.


Fairs are like the beautiful bows
in the sky. They tell of peace and
prosperous homes. They tell of
lowing herds coming up from the
dewy meadows. They speak to us
of blossoms, bright with Jewels from
the clouds. They point us to the
blessed, beautiful bare footed BARNS
going forth to play again beneath
the broad oaks.
Fairs are pleasant things. They
are time honOred; they speak to US
of our fathers and mothers.
But who ever thought of Fairs
during all the stormy years of war?
Who ever dreamed of them during
the dreadful days of reconstruction?
We were to busy with our needs
then, too burdened with our griefs
to think of things so beautiful.
Sometimes it may have been when
our spirits were lonely amid the sol
itude of the surroundings, memory
would stand tip-toe looking above
the waves Of desolation that rolled
weary soldier sees in his dreams, the
sweet scenes and hear the happy
sounds of other days. And then
sOothed by the fond sights and lul-
led by those loved sounds we won
dered if those better days would ev-
er smile on us and ours again.
And now, indeed, they are COM
ing on apace. A good Providence
has pitied; good Providence has
heard the prayers of smitten peO-
pie, and these better days are dawn
ing right gloriously on our Sunny
South. The blight Of desolatioI
that lay on the land already has bro
ken and frightened into beauty and
blessedness. The sweet music Of
praise rises above the MORNINGS OF
prayer. The song of the turtle is
heard, and noble women, little chill
dren and stalwart sons of the sol
rejoice once more in the sweet sun
shine of peace and prosperity.
Fairs, as much as all else, betokeI
this glorious change. In our OWL
State-in every section of it-Fair'
are now organized, and annually al
the time Of the golden harvest the
people collect on their beautiful
grounds and beneath balmy skies, tC
talk of the labors of the year and tt
show and see the splendid speci
mems from field and factory, from
orchard and garden, from dairy anC
kitchen, and indeed from every de
partment of industry.-( (Ala) Ad

Cows for Small Farms.


The better we become acquainted
with the merits Of the Jersey COW,
the more we are satisfied that she is
the animal for small farmers-those
who keep from one to ten COWS.
Where milk only is the object, the
Ayrshire Of Holstein may be prefer
able, but for butter and cream the
Jerseys are the best. A writer in
an agricultural exchange, in speak
ing of the merits Of the various
breeds, says:
The farmer who usually keeps a
few COWS, from which he expects to
realize money profit, besides sup
plying his own table with plenty Of
milk and butter, should keep only
those of each breed as are best adap-
ted to the purpose. In order to do
so, he has to consult the observation
and experience of others to find out
that the Jersey is far preferable to
all others. The cows of this breed
are easily kept, very dOcile and
beautiful, Yielding milk of superior
richness, from which is produced
butter which for color, solidity and
fine flavor is unequaled. AS evil
dence of this, the butter made from
Jerseys commands, as a general
thing, from 25 to so per cent. better
price i'll market than that made from
other breeds.
