A Case for Reform.

1t is reported in the Cleveland Herald
that when there is company at dinner at
the White House, the President is always
served first, before any of his guests, and
before his wife, if he has one. This is an
ancient usage in that house, established
when regal ideas respecting the dignity
of political ruler were more in vogue
than they are now. If this be so, we are
surprised that Gen. Arthur, who is
very polite man, and not bit assuming
surd old custom. There is no reason why
the President should not be as civil and
deferential as any gentleman toward his
guests. The fact that the Emperor of
Russia and the Queen of England get
their soup before all those who are in
vited to dine with them, forms no reason
why the Chief Magistrate of this republic
should display himself as specimen of
such tremendous self-conceit and such
stunning affectation.
We suggested the other day that when
Gen. Arthur is nominated as the candi-
date of his party for President in 1884,
the reform of the civil service might be
very suitable platform for him to stand
upon; but it IS now made plain that this
would not be sufficient. He should also
be pledged to reform all the absurd
monarchical observances that have come
down from old Federal times as append
ages and deformities of the Presidency.

Glover q Three-fOld Necessity.

The farmers in the northern states,
who are progressive enough to take a
good agricultural paper, are fully alive
to the value of the clover crop as a
manurial agent. The farmers Of the
southern states are awakening to the
necessity of restoring their worn soils,
and are anxiously looking up information
regarding the benefits that may accrue
from the growing of clover for manure.
The use of such fertilizers as guano and
superphosphates are too expensive, when
relied on wholly for the benefits gained,
for general farming purposes. Where
mixed farming is not pursued, with live
stock as large element, but little COM
mon manure is available. Glover, or its
equal, then becomes a necessity. So far,
no other plant has been discovered, which
has the properties of absorbing the
nitrogenus and acid vapors from the
atmosphere and holding them in soluble
state to enrich the soil. Hence the time
is not far distant when the American
agriculturist will hardly care to call him
self farmer without growing clover. :, It
is necessity for pasture, for fodder, for
manure and for seed. The growth Of
other crops will take up the mineral con-
stituents from the soil, which will have
to be renewed from time to time with
lime, potash, and on light loan soils with
silica. i s. sz ~.
The long tap-roots of clover penetrate
deep into the sub-soil and bring up dor
mant fertilizing properties that have
leached down below that part, which has

years ago. was for many years suf-
ferer from quinsy; "Thomas' Electric
Oil cured me-" was also troubled with
hoarseness, and Thomas Electric Oil
always relieved me. My wife and child
had diphtheria, and "Thomas' Electric
Oil cured them" and if taken in time it
will cure seven times out of ten, am
confident it is a cure for the most obsti-
nate cold or cough, and if any one will
take small teaspoon and half fill 1t with
the Oil, and then place the end of the
spoon in one nostril and draw the Oil out
of the spoon iuto the head by shifting as
hard as they can, until the Oil falls over
into the throat, and practice that twice
week, I don't care how offensive their
head may be, it will clean it out and cure
their catarrh. For deafness and earache
it has done wonders to my certain know
ledge. 1t is the only medicine dubbed
patent medicine that have ever felt like
recommending, and am very lanxious to
see it in every place, for tell you that
I would not be without it in my house
for any consideration. am now suffer-

The HOlstein Cattle.

The name Holstein is applied to the
type of large, black and white spotted
cattle inhabiting the extensive marsh
land bordering on the German ocean and
including North Holland, Friesland,
Groningen, East Friesland, Oldenburg,
Bremen and Holstein. The breed is
known by various local appellations in
the provinces named above. The COM
mon name, Holstein, was given to them
by American breeders because the
original stock was bred in Holstein.
The name was the subject of considera-
BILE controversy at the time, but was
generally accepted by the best author
ities
The American history of the Holstein
cattle commences with the "Chenery
Importation" from North Holland in
1861. At the time of the publication of
the first Holstein herd book, in 1872, only
sixty-one bulls and sixty cows were
recorded. The breed has since that time
been introduced into nearly every state
LII IAC uuAOu3 AAu ID COAtAAOoAAy SuAAAAS
in popularity. The special features
which commend them to stock growers,
are their large size and extraordinary
capacity for the production of milk.
The Holsteins are valuable stock to
raise for beef, being about one-third
larger than the average native cattle.
Where working oxen are desired, these
large, powerful cattle are general
favorites.
But it is for their milking qualities
that the Holsteins are chiefly celebrated.
Some of the COWS have made extraordi-
nary milk records. The COW Texelaar
was recorded in the first volume of the
Holstein Herd Book as producing in nine
weeks (63 days. 4,018 lbs. IA ozs. of milk,
her record in one day having been 70 lbs
5 ozs. (35t quarts), and her average for
ten days, "a 47-10o lbs. per day.-E1.
