BLUE GRASS.

Mr.. Forcha, who purchased s, 900 acres
of land near Fairfield station has now
six men engaged in sowing grass seeds
upon it at an expense of about $1,000
lie is sowing five hundred bushels o,
Kentucky blue grass seed fifty bushels
of timothy seed and fifty bushels of
clover seed, upon the open prairie and
is DESTROYS that the ncighbors' cattle
pasture it down as much as possible rs
he expects no returns from il under five
years knowing that it takes that length
OF time for blue grass to make coed
sod. Mr.. Forcha is man of mcans and
energy and knows what he is about.
flour hill lands in this part of Kan
sas can be well set in blue grass they
will become very valuable for pasture,
as gushing springs are found every
where cattle need never suffer for water
and we know of no good reason why
blue grass will not do as well here as
in the eastern part of the state. 1t Is a
well known fact that ii has set all over
Illinois, Missouri and northeastern Kan
sas voluntarily and in the gardens about
the towns in this locality il grows whcr
ever the seed has been sown. We are
glad to see the experiment being made
on the open prairie, and hope it will
succeed.

WHAT rs GOOD CRAZE cuLfuaEi

A friend joyfulIy told Is, few days
ago Of his anticipations in the grape
way. He had bought little place in
the vicinity, aud had made up his mind
to have things right. His maxim was
that what was worth doing at all was
worth doing wei, and he meant to do
it. = He had done it. He had dug out
the dirt three feet into clay, .and.-had
filed it with light rich compost. through
which the roots might pnsh their way
in case and comfort aud live on the fat
of the land. lie had spent considerable
money in doing the job well. He in-
tended to get only The best vines and
felt sure such an expenditure would
result in magnificent grapes and plen-
ty of them. He had done his work
well.
II is strange that such a course as
this should ever have been recommended
by horticultural writer's but it is fact
that they have. Grapes are now SO
easily and cheaply grown-fruit often
four or five cents per pound-that we
had nigh forgotten that this was the
standard advice of the books years ago.
But our friend produces it in black and
white from the pages which he had
chosen as an authority, and then we
knew how il was in olden time.
Now our readers at least would know
that instead of such proceeding as
this being an evidence OF doing it well
for the grape it is simply an act Of folly.
The grape root needs to be warm and
dry, but this deep well for the grape, it
is simply an act Of folly. The grape
root needs TO be warm and dry, but
this deep well in the clay encouraging
the collection Of water from all around
it has just the contrary effect. The roots
are damp and cool, and not warm and
dry.
Indeed, it is only of late years, when
people have given mp all this expensive
foolery that grape culture has become
a tolerable success. Under the old plan
we had failure after failure, until we
came to be believe only those varieties
which were little removed from the
wild fox, or the frost grapes, could be
grown. But now We have the finer
kinds getting quite common. As soon
as we gave up this deep ,trenching nom
sense, grape culture-rcal grape culture
took fresh start and this real cul-
turc consists in little more than plant
ing a vine in good earth, of less depth
than We would any ordinary tree and
see that it docs not suffer for want of
food. This is good grape culture in a
nut shell. Telegraph.

TAKING CARE OF s0ws.

The time is comming for spring pigs
and it is important they should be pIo-
vided for. From all directions we hear
Of the destruction of pigs during the
present winter. Every knows that, in
such weather as we have had since the
Goth of December as has been impossi-
bic TO save newly arriving pigs. They
have nearly all persisted. Nor is this
all. Fall pigs even in favorable winters
require much care to bring them thro'
the winter. If il be as cold as we have
had for two months large.part oftnem
perish. They pile up and smother each
other, or if they do not smother they
pile so as TO sleep too warm, sweat, and
going out into the cold winds, catch
colds. cough, and are worthless if they
do not die. In extreme cold weather,
too. they crowd into manure piles, sides
of stacks ofstraw sheds, and sleeping
too warm, which is ten times worse
than to sleep too cold. We hear from
all directions that farmers have not
only lost their little pigs, but large drafts
have been made on their shoats, until
we are satisfied the farmers will start
out this spring with not more than half
their usual stock of hogs. This is the
case not only in Iowa, but in all the
great hog raising belts. 1t has all been
cold, with continued snow. The hogs
which are large enough to supply the
spring market have been able to stand
the weather better, and there will not
be SO great falling off in the supply of
hogs early in the season as latter in the
year. Then we arc satisfied the def
cheney will be counted with seven fig
urcs.
Then, we say, take care of the brood
'ows, and not only prepare them for
but prepare good quarters
for them, as many broods will be COM
ng in March and April. Sows should
low begin to be fed with some green
God such as turnips, rutabagas or man.
and all the refuse of apples,
'tc. With such food they will get
through their parturition safer, and
will not be inclined to cat their broods.
Pork is now up, and with the prospect
We deficiency Of the crop Of 1881 it is
lot probable it will be any cheaper for
ighteen months. So those that expect
o make pork by corn alone or those
'ho are calculating that pork will be a
'rgc item in the profits Of the diary,
etter look more carefully than usual
o the safety and success of the coming
rOods of pigs. There is money in them
nd that is what we are working and
managing for. by little care and pru-
cnt oversight larger number can be
avcd than will be by the usual letting
look out for itself. When
ork is $500 pigs are as pretty as a
'gislator's dog.

TO FERTILIzr ORCHARDS.

An extensive apple grower cultivatcs
his orchards six or eight years after
planting, and fertilizcs with bone dust
and wood ashes. Afterwards the soil is
sown to grass, and annually enriched
with good stable manure as top
dressing or mulch. The trees are prun-
ell late in the autumn or early winter
and in the spring the bodies of the trees
are washed with a strong I've.

THE RAE. OR TIE RIVER FoR GRAIN.

The Chicago Tribune walls over the
vanishing grain trade Of the Lake City
in the following style:
We have printed during the las; few
weeks statments showing the departure
from ST. Louis of fleets of bargcs loaded
with grain tor New Orleans. Some OF
these floats contained several hundred
thousand bushels, the cost of transport
tation from St. Louis to New Orleans
being, as compared with rail freights
from there to Baltimore, is hardly more
than one-third. Jay Gould, j; is stated
has furnished most of the capital to
build these bargcs and to operate them.
and it is intended and expected to turn
into st. Louis the immense grain pro-
duction of Kansas. Missouri. part of
Iowa, and Of the southern half of Iii
nois and southern Indiana and thence
sensl them 10 the East and TO Europe
by way of New Orleans. The trans
portation from St. Louis to New Or
leans being reduced to the minimum.
and the facilities of handling and shipp-
ing the grain at New Orleans being in
creased the two results are expected TO
encourage the grain at ST. Louis than
elsewhere and second the grain can be
sold in New Orleans to shippers for less
than il cost elsewhere. As the Tribune
has for years predicted the opening and
maintenance Of the Mississippi River |
route would in time become a necessity |
and that time has now arrived. The |
exactions and confiscations by the rail-
road combinations have forced the re.
lief which that route offers to the peo-
pie Of the West. The cost Of transpor-
tation being reduced by that line, pro.
ducers and shippers win naturally profit
by the greater prices they can obtain.
II may therefore be accepted rs fixed
fact that the Mississippi river route is
now and will be henccfarth an ever open
and rival route for grain and other west
crn products especially in the winter
md spring months. This competition
will Immediately be felt by the RAILWAYS
eading cast and by all the cities not 10.
,ated on the Mississippi river, and the
Inversion OF trade will not only great
'ut permanent. How Wilt be met?l

Hon. Horatio Seymour writes to a
friend, in Omaha, advising him TO plant
pines, hemlocks and other evcrgrecns,
in young cottonwood groves. He says
in New York these cvergrecns get their
best start in the woods. He says,
''when they get fair growth they will
stand your Winds" This is the man
who refuses the first honor of his coun-
try, that knows more about agriculture
and horticulture on these far Western
plains and prairies than We do ourselves.

CRIB-BITING.

This very unpleasant habit is not SC
serious q defect as many writers and
practitioners would have us believe. The
producing causes of crib-btng are vari-
Gus. 1t is often the result of initiating
companion standing in the adjacent
stall who has acquired the habit, In
instances it is in consequence of keep
ing the animal standing in his stall from
day to day. The highly bred and spir-
tied horse, when fed liberal quantities
Of cucculent and nourishing food, must
be in some mischief, when his time is
not employed. II is caused in some in
stances in young colts by partial star

the stable, TO allow him to pick it over

lect in his stable management he &C.

ager. II is also the result of feeding
unsound and consequently unpalata-
forced down 10 it from starvation.
Lastly, il is occhsionly caused by the
groom dressing his spirited charger in
his stall or other narrow compartment
connected with his stable where he can
at will bite on the partition walls. Local
ted on either side of him aud this biz
ing at anything within reach, may be
observed in a spirited aud nervous
horse when the brush or rubbing cloth
is applied to his body or his legs by the
groom. In the early stage of the &C
CURED habit of crib biting, rubbing
common yellow bar soap on the top of
the mangcr-rail daily. will often prove
an efficac;ous remedy, or mailing fresh

the same effect. But when the acquir-

New York, lost. Louis traders are
quite jubilsnt over the increasing i'm
portance Of that city as an exporter by

incidents as the departure, the other day,
Of the steamer Oakland for New Orlesns
with the largest tow of grain that ever
descended the Mississippi, being q total
of 20, S47, 500 pounds. This single cargo,
we are told, would require 700 freight
cars to have carried it on thirty-fve sepa-
rate freight trains and engines. Freights
to New Orleans are much below those
for which the railroads can afford to
carry, but here the sd, antag0 in a meas
ure ends. The port charg S, tue cost Of
transferring the grain f.om the barge to
the steamer at New Orleans, with the en-
HANGED marine insurance and various
other incidentals, bring up the total to a
point which. other things considered,
gives Mississippi exporters no advantage

The New Way of Fighting In.
dams

New York, 10-A meeting will be
held here on the 18th inst, 10 behalf of
Indian education on the basis Of the
work begun ut Hampton Institute, ViT-
GINA. Among the speakers are Carl
Schurz. Rev. Drs. Hitchcock and Potter.
Miles will be present.
The Times says: The theme of the
meeting will be what may be fairly called
g new idea. The new idea Is that it is
cheaper to teach q young Indian than to
fight an old one. Tie secret is not edu-
cation, but separation from their old as
sociations and placing them under differ
ent surroundings. Education in the moral
atmosphere of the east ia what seems to
be needed, and what Hampton Institute
affords, as cheaply as possible, and under
government patronage. The institute is
not, however, government school. 1t is
q private corporation, dependent on pri-
vate support. Thirteen thousand dollars
have been spent in buildings for Indian
boys, and now it Is thought to raise some
$3.50, 900 for schools for Indian girls. The
scholars are all ready. 1t is hoped that

England and the Monetary
Conference.

London, .10.-A deputation from the
Liverpool incorporated chamber of com
merce. yesterday, held a conference with
Harrington, secretary of state for India,
and presented a memorial urging govern
ment to appoint commissioned TO repre-
sent England and especially India. at
the monetary conference. Harrington
pointed out that there was some difficulty
owing to the terms in which the inVits-
ton of France and the United States was
couchet. As originally worded it seemed
to commit the governments accepting it
to the ad uption of the bimetallie standard,
and an sdmissio that the maintenance
of the gold standard is impoiitjc. Govern
ment could not participate in any confe-
renee which assumed their willingness TO
abandon the gold standard. Negotiations
had consequently taken place with the
view to modifying the invitstiOn in order
to permit England to accept it, consis-
tently. With these reserves England
and India would willingly adopt any safe
and prudent measure which ought to help
to rehabiliate the values of silver.
