New York Hash-Eaters.

"Have We had any demand for hash?''
said Lewis Leland, of the Sturtevent house.
"Why, my friend, am hash-eater my
self When landlord eats his own hash
you can rest assured that there is nothing
unclean about it. Oh yes: 1 know there
are many people who think it is too common
a dish to be good. But this is mistake. :"
At the Windsor hotel the cashier said one
of the stewards could give fuller detailes,
but in his expe1 ence neither the glamor Of
foreign language nor the art of wilder
ness of French cooks could hide the fact
that hash is hash and favorate American
dish. The most petite daughter of fashion
relishes plate of well-prepared hash as well
as newspaper reporter. In the absence of
the Hon. Charles Delmonico, his represen-
tative stated that large number OF their
customers were liberal diners, but the hash
eater was numerous. And why not? Good
meat was good meat in any disguise, and
the manner in which they dished up square
American corned- beef hash would have
tempted Horace Greeley. Mr.. Adams, of
the Metropolitan hotel. thought the demand
for hash would increase as the weather grew
cooler. But in all time hash was the stan
dard dish In his experience many young
people, travelling for the first time, were

Farming.


[Richmond, Va. Southern Planter1
England has now been in cultiva-
tion for more than 1000 years, yet
by intellectual farming and a liberal
nse Of fertilizers, the soil is still made
to prodnce more per acre than many
farms in this country, which less than
a hundred years ago were covered
with very good forest. A great
many farmers will argue that they
have no money with which to pur-
chase fertilizers, and that their barn
yard does not begin to supply the
quantity. To them we can say, "Do
like yonr cousins across the water:
have flock Of sheep and let them
manure the land. To accomplish
this end more wicker hurdles must
be provided, so that lots large enough
to contain the sheep can be inclosed
and the sheep kept at hand. Sow
turnip or some other seed which will
grow on comparatively poor land :,
that the sheep may have some past
urage. When this is done and the
crops begin to grow, divide off por-
ton with the hurdles, place the sheep
inside, and while eating Of the crop
their droppings will be deposited on
the land. Continue moving the 1st
from one place 10 another until the
entire field has been gone over. If
the land is very poor this mode OF
treating it should be kept up at least
two years; then in the spring plant
wheat or oats, 10 be followed as soon
as harvested by another turnip sow
ing, whicl, is to be fed to the sheep
in the same manner as described
above, and thus raise two crops, one
for the master, and the other for the
sheep. The animals will improve in
wool-growing qualities, increase III
numbers, add to the supply of ma
nure, and all the while enriching the
owner. There is no better manure
than sheep lroppings, and by follow
ing the above mode Of sowing and
applying it, marked benefits will re-
suit in short time. The inevitable
law of nature to return something for
what is taken away must be adhered
to.

A Discouraged Lover.

She may be giddy, but sle's about
sized you up in shape, and no doubt
if you keep on trying to love her
without her knowledge or consent
she will hit you with something and
put swiss sunset over your eye.
Do not yearn to win her affections
all at once. Give her twenty or
thirty years in which to see your
merits. You will have more to en-
.itle you to her respect by that time,
no doubt. During that time you
may rise to be president and win q
deathless name.
The main thing you have to look
out for now is to restrain Yourself
from marrying people who do not
want to marry you. That style of
freshness will, in thirty or forty
years, wear away. If it does not
probably the vigorous big brother of
some young lady of II" will con-
sign you to the silent tomb. Do not
try to promenade with young lady
unless she gives her consent. Do
not marry one against her wishes.
Give the girl a chance. She will
it; and, even though she
may not marry you, she will permit
you to sit on the fence and watch
ber when she goes to marry some
one else. Do not be despondent.
Be couras seous, and some day per-
haps you will get there. At pres
ent the horizon is 4 little bit foggy.
AS you say, she may be so giddy
that she doesn't want steady com
pany. There is glimmer of hope
in that. She may be waiting till she
gets over the agony and annoyance
before she looks seriously
INTO the matter of mat1imony. Ii
hat should turn out to be the case
we are not surprised. Give her a |
chance to grow up, and in the mean

and fix yourself so that

FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 10, 1883.
The Postal Card.

No one denies that the postal card
is great thing, and yet it makes
most people mad 10 get one. This is
because we naturally feel sensitive
about having our correspondence
open to the eyes ofthe postal clerks.
Yet they po not read them. Postal
employers hate postal card as cor
daily as any one else. If they were
banished, and had nothing to read
but a package of postal cards or a
foreign book of statistics, they would
read the Stats ics. This wild hunger
for postal cards on the part Of the
postmasters is all myth. When
| the writer doesn't care who sees his
message, that knocks the curiosity
ont of those who handle these mes
sages. A man who would read a
postal card without being compelled
to by some stringent must be little
deranged. When you receive one
you say, 'IIere is a m assage of so lit
tie importance that the writer didn't
cafe who saw it. don't care much
for it snyself."
Then you look it over and lay it
away and forget Of it.
Do you think that the postmaster
is going to wear out his young life in
devouring literature that the sender
don't feel proud of when he receives
it? Nay, nay.
During our official experience we
have been placed where we could
have read postal cards time and
again, and no one but the All-seeing
eye would have detected it, but have
controll, d ourself ans closed our eye
to the written message, refusing to
take advantage of the confidence re
uosed in us by our government and
Llose who thus trusted us with their
secret. All over our great land every
moment OF the day or night these
little cards are being sileplly scatter
ed, breathing loving words inscribed
with hard lead pencil and shedding
information upon sundered hearts,
and tEey are as safe as though they
had never been breathed. They are
safer in most instances because they
cannot be read by anybody in the
whole world.
- That is why it irritates us to
have some one open up a conversa-
tion by saying, "You remember what
that fellow wrote me from Cheyenne
on that postal card on the Goth, and
how he rounded up for not sending
him those goods?' Now we can't
keep all those things in our heads.
1t requires to much Of strain to do
it on the salary we receive. a man
with very large salary and a tena-
cious memory. might keep run of the
postal correspondence in small office
but we capnot do it. We are not &C
customed to it, and it. irritates and
excites us.-BooDaerdng.

The other day an old farmer was passing
store in Carson when the proprietor hailed
him with:
''Why don't you trade with me any

''What made you think so -

Plenty of Pure Water for Cows,
(Minnesota Farmer

(Minnesota Farmer.)
The value of pure water for the stock. at
this season of the year, cannot be over
estimated. A number of careful expert
ments made by NJ. Dancel, and given to
the French Academy of Science, 20 to
show that the amount ofmi.k obtained is
approximately proportioned to the guam
tity of water drunk, and that the yield of
milk can be increased to considerable
extent without deteriorating in value by
inducing mich COWS to take OH abundant
quantity of water. Indeed, NJ. Dancel
maintains that COW that does not COM
monty drink rs much as twenty-seven
quarts ofwatera day is necessarily poor
mixer, while COW that drinks as much
rs fifty quarts daily is sure to be an excel
lent mixer. Stagnant water, and that
from standing pools and small ponds, is
always more or less foul in summer time
and even though abundant in quantity
and easy Of access, has an injurious ipflu-
ence on the favor of dairy products.
Often cowsseem to prefer such liquid even
to clear. running water, but experience
abundantly shows that when mich COWS
have access to such pools 6rst-class
article of butter or cheese cannot be made
from milk, which is sometimes found to
be absolutely unwholesome.

A Monkey Story.
(BJs.on GlObe.)

Some time ago an English lady, who
was living at Kingston, Jamaica, took
passage on homcward bound vessel,
taking her two-lnontlls-oll infant with
her. \ large, strong active monkey
which was on board took Il violent fancy
for the child. The monkey would sit all
day long watching the mother as she
rocked and fondleI tho little one, and
followed her from place to place. Several
times the animal tried unsuccessfnlly to
get possession of the baby. One beauti-
full afternoon distant sail attracted the
attention ofall on board, and the captain
politely offered his glass to the lady. She
placed her badly on the sofa and had just
raised the glass to her eye when cry was
heard. Turning quickly she beheld a
sailor in pursuit OF the monkey, which
had graspcd the infant firmly with one
arm and was nimbly climbing the shrouds.
The mother tainted ;.s the animal reach
ed the top of the main mast. The captain
was at his wits end. He feared if he
sent sailor in pursuit the monkey would
drop the baby and escape by leaping from
mast to mast. The child in the mean
time was heard to cry, but the fear that
the monkey was hurting it was dispelled
by seeing it initiate the motions of the
mother, handling, shooting and endea-
voring to hush it to sleep. After trying
in many ways to lure the animal down.
the captain finally ordered the men be-
low and concealed himself on deck. In a
moment, to his great joy, he saw the ami
NAL carefully descending. Reaching the
deck it looked cautiously around, advanc-
ed to the sofa and placed tie baby upon
it. The captain restored the frightened
infant to it's mother, who was soon Salts
fed that her darling had escaped with
out injury.

prairies ofthe West, and I for one give
Horace Greedy credit for much good ad-
wee to tree-planters, though in tree-plant
ing as in farming, lie did not know it all
and recommended some trees, the ALLAN.
thus" for one, for general planting on the
plairies Of Illinois and Iowa. Yet what
l'e did he did conscientiously, believing
ut the time that he was correct. and. M
the Alanthus was a rapid grower, he re-
commended it to be grown for profit, and
through his advice many new things
were tried, some failing and some speak
ing for themselves. And as many of us
know more about whst to plant on the
pralries for profit to day than did Horace
Greedy in his day, let us do our duty
in trying to instruct others in the good
work. In one of his rambles in the
West after the street-trees were large
enough to cast a good shade, and bear
large crops of seeds, he denounced the
cottonwood tree as nuisance, on account
OF its cotton crop that was being carried
IN the al, seeds sent to plant the prairie
with one OF our best fast-growing natives
that we have, but should not be planted
on the street or near the house on account
OF its cottonwood nuisance. Plant along
creeks, low places, and away from the
north of orchards, as its giant growth will
reflect the hot suns rays back on the
apple trees and cause them to blight.
We have land enough here in Dakota to
plant largely of the cottonwood trees, and
let it grow to perfection. I know of
cottonwood trees in Linn county, that
have grown in the last tlirty-tve and
forty years from seeds scattered by the
winds-Nature's own planting-that will
make 1000 feet of sawed lumber to the
tree, and two or three loads Of wood that
would be valuable in Dakota This tree
is grown readily from cuttings, but the
better way is to get the one-year-old
rooted plants, as they are more apt to
grow. This tree needs more room to
develop i'll than most trees, and if planted
four feet apart each way, can be thinned
out in five years to make fuel, and let the
sun in to the trunks Of the growing trees,
by planting close and thinning out as
needed. Straight, smooth trees can be
made i'll fifteen to twenty years large
enough for saw-tilnber and the lumber
will be more valuable for some purposes
here in Dakota than soft pine lumber,
when We take into consideration the
rapidity fits growth in this native soil.
| would advise the planting of ut least
1000 trees on every lGO acres of land, in
such places as will be most out of the
way for them to grow for years, for the
double purpose Of ornament and value,
Notwithstanding denunciation of the
cottonwood.
