Cutting and Curing OF Grass for Hay.

by J. W. Lang, in the Farmer and Dairyman.
This topic we consider of very great
Importance. 1t is very essential that we
nightly understand this process of farm
life and labor, and by a iudicious appli-
cation of the knowledge Of cutting and
curing grass for hay, success or failure,
IN a great measure, will attend efforts at
dairying and stock raising. There are
very many dollars lost annually bv i'm
properly cutting and curing our forage
crops, the principal one of which is grass.
Questions will arise like the following, in
the mind OF the progressive farmer.

When, during the growth of the plant
cultivated for hay has it the most nutri-
ment and least waste How shall cure
II that it shall retain all Of its good quail
tiles, its aroma, its nutrition, its color
and at least expenditure of time, labor
and care? How shall store it that none

Judge Matthews First Decision.

Curiously the first case which Judge Matthews
was called upon to decide in his circuit was one
involving the interests of railroads In that de
cislon, instead of sustaining the monopoly, as it
was in this case, he ruled against it. The Standard
Oll Company is one of the worst of monoplies 1t
controls several lines of railway and has compelled
the managers to charge two dollars barrel for car
rying the oil Of other producers, while its own is
shipped at low figure. Steamboats, on the Ohio
and its tributaries offered to take the oil tor fifty
cents barrel, but law of the United States for
bids steamboats, carrying passengers TO carry oil
when there are other practicable routes Justice
Matthews decided that the railroads by charging
exorbitant and discriminating rates made such
methods Transportation impracticable and there
fore it was lawful to ship oil upon steamboats,
Ihis decision is quite important to the producers
which the Standard monopoly is trying to crush
out.

Flowers at Eight Times Their Weight in
Gold.

The cut-tlower business, another phase Of horti-
culture. is perhaps greater in the United States
than III any other part of the world Certainly the
use of cut flowers in New York for bouquets, bas-
kets, and other designs, is far greater than in
either London or Paris, and the taste shown in
their arrangement here is vastly superior 1t is es-
timated that three millions of dollars were paid
for cut-tlowers in New York in 1880 one third of
which was for rose-buds. Immense glass structures
are erected in the suburbs for the special purpose
of growing cut flowers to supply the bouquet
makers OF this city. Not less than twenty acres of
glass surface is devoted to the purpose Of forcing
roses alone, during the winter months. At seme
seasons the prices paid for these forced rose buds
are perfectly astounding One grower, of Madison,
New Jersey, took into New York three hundred
buds Of the crimson rose known as General
Jacquemlnot" for which he received, at wholesale,
three hundred dollars, and which, no doubt were
retailed at a dollar and fifty cents to two dollars
each. a flower dealer in Fourteenth street. a few
days before Christmas, received the only four of
this same variety of that were offered in the

AN ASSERTION THAT MANY OF THE

CLAIMS AREkFRAUDULKHT.
WAsHISGToN, January 24.-The
Commissioner of Pensions estimates
that the total cost to the country Of
the Arrearages Of Pensions act will
be the enormous sum of S52l ,0OO, 600.
THIS in over $500, goo, 900 more than
had been previously estimated. In
the letter to Senator Davis, OF West
Virginia, Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, in which
the Commissioner communicates
this startling information, he says
that one-tenth Of the claims made
for arrearges are fraudulent. He
has not the means under the pres
ent law to detect and punish the
perpetrators Of the fraud. The
Pensions Appropriation Bill is now
pending before the Senate Appro-
priauons Committee and before it 10
reported some amendment will be

ernment from being swindlsd. The
Pensions Arrearges Act will forever
remain a stupendous monument ef
Democratic stupidity and folly. The
act was passed without proper Goa
sideration III q spasm Of anti-elec-
ton sentimentality. While the
Democrats in Congress have hardly

Mr. HAYES NOT A TRUTHFUL
MAN.

WAsHIHGToN, January a.
1t Is nov understood that General
Garfield win net come to Washington
until the end Of February. When be
reaches here the new Cabinet will be
completed, so as TO avoid subsequent
complications. IL he adheres TO this
intention, trouble may be saved. But
the President elect has an uncertain
mind, and his resolutions do not al
ways ripen and bear fruit.
When Hayes came to the capital
before the Inauguration In 1877, the
elements 10 compose the important
parts Of the Fraudulent Administra-
tion were already chosen, though he
pretended they were not. When Mr..
Conkling presented the recommends
tions Of Mr.. Flat for Postmaster Gen.
eral, Hayes let him understand dis
tinctly that the case was still open,
and that his friend would be fairly
considered.
Ii 10 now positively known that Mr..
Evarts had, long before this meeting
between Hayes aud Conkling, been as
signed to the Department OF state, and
consequently 1t was a case of delibor-
ate deception On the part OF Hayes.
That trick led naturally 70 . rupture
Of relations, and it was the original
cause Of Mr.. Conkling's break with
the Fraudulent President, and of his
refusal to visit the White House.
