lThe Athenmum. d.

Skobeeff has been called the poet OF war {;
perhaps IL would be more accurate to define
him az the military Byron of Russia. A
more daring, a more insubordinate, and a
more original mind It has not been the fate
of Europe to see for many long day. II

sary 10 90 back to the times of Charles XII,
for we shall not find him within the limits
of our conventional nineteenth century. He
delighted In battle, yet confessed frequently
that It was not the bubble reputation, but
soldiers grave which he sought at the can
mons mouth. He went forth 70 battle clad
in his newest and brightest uniform,
mounted on his famous white charger, and
waving his white cap in the air. Skobelefi
was wonderful military artist. He must
have studied the soldier closely to have ac-
ouired so accurate knowledge of his heart.
On one occasion ,at the third battle of Plevna,
he met his troops flying panic-stricken back
to the camp. On seeing him they drew up
and saluted. "Ah, my fine fellows" he ex-
claimed, "you have fought like lions p
The troops recovered their selfrespect.
Seeing the effect his words had produced
upon them, Skobeleff pretended only to have
discovered that they were without their
muskets. 'Where are your muskets ~ he
shouted. No one dared answer. "Cowards
I do not want 10 command such dogs as
YOU. Come, pick up your muskets and fol
low ma at once !" and, proceeding in the
direction where the Turkish fire was thickest,
he put them through their facings as though
they were raw recruits drilling in the quiet
back yard of provincial barrack. When
they had gone through their evolutions he
led them against the enemy, and not one OF
them thought of running away.

the horse, you have only to use the wrist
joint which will direct him either right or
left, as you wish. Keep your hand steady,
with q gentle pressure on the bit-no jerking
or switching Of the reins. IL more speed is
wanted, take the whip in your right hand, to
be gently used for that purpose be careful
not to apply It any harder than is necessary to
bring him up to the required speed.
Speak to him soolhingly, and intimate in
the most gentle mannor what you want him
TO do, aud no will try to do it. So noble an
animal should not he handled roughly nor
over-driven.
When you return, have the harness remov-
ed at once aud the horse rubbed down with a
wisp of straw or hay. Give him little straw
or hay, but let him cool off before he is fed
or watered. Every one who handles horse,
or has anything to do with one, should in the
FIRST place cultivate his acquaintance let him
know that you are his friend, and prove il to
him by your kind treatment he needs this
to inspire confidence, and when that is gained
he is your humble servant.
II your horse gets frightened at any uuusu-
al sight or noise, do not whip him If you do
he will connect the whipping with the object
that alarmed him, aud be afraid of it ever At

Alsike clover is said to be one of the best
honey-yielding plants, and it is often cultiyat-
ed by farmers who keep bees more for the
honey than for the hay that can be made from
it. 1t is not generally considered equal to red
clover for the amount of hay that it yields.
We believe some Of cur readers in this coun-
ty have made a pretty thorough trial of it,
and We should be pleased to publish the re-
suit Of their experience in The PHUN1x if
they would furnish the fNcts. Rufus Prince
of South Turner, Ne, has grown Alske on
wet land, and considers it more productive on
moist soil than common clover. lie says in
the Mirror and Farmer that the home of Al
ske clover sis upon land that is just the OPP
posite of that upon which common red clover
1ourishes. The red clover must have a very
dry soil TO flourish in for any length of time,
but with Alsike it must be moist Its home
is the swale and meadow, where it is as tena-
cious of life as Il almost said the bulrush.
Some six years since sowed some on a swale
that could not be plowed except in the driest
part of the season, and it is not all gone yet,
but 1ourished better than any other grass
sown at the time and from this and other
experiments | have no hesitation in saying
that to seed very wet land it has no superior
but for land that common red clover would
flourish on it is valueess"

Agricultural,


The August drought has been quite severe
in some Of the towns of southern Vermont.
Corn and potatoes on soils most affected by
drought will yield much less THAI was prom
ised on tho first Of tho month, though some
fields had so far moturod before the drought
commenced that tho crop will not be mnch
diminished. Tho after growth in the moad-
ows is light, and dry pastures have been en-
tirely Drowned. But when once the rain be-
gins to fall the fashion is changed, and we
may expect wet weather, or at least sufficient
rain to break the drought. With plenty of
rain there is yet time for a good growth Of
grass for fall feeding One year ago at this
date there were acres of pasturage and mead
ow with hardly single leaAet Of green grass
yet when the abundant rains came, the brown
landscape changed to q rich green resembling
tho freshness of June.
There has been no extensive drought this
year. In the greater part of this state, as
well as in tho country generally, there has
been plenty Of rain from tho beginning OF the
season through the whole period Of the growth
of most of the crops. The drought in New
England has prevailed only in the portion be-
low Central Vermont aud New Hampshire.
In Eastern Massachusetts it has been more
severe than it was last year. A correspon-
dent from Oxford county, Me-, says: 81 had
no idea that any part of New England could
need rain, we were so abundantly favored
with it, From spring until August we had
just about rain enough. The first week OF
August We had too much" In Southern Yer
mont the rain since early summer has fallen
mostly in showers, which have not always
been equally distributed among the towns or
tie different parts of town; hence some To-
calities within the county show the effects Of
drought much more than others.

EnsiIage vs.. Dried Corn Fodder.

Prof. Henry E. Alvord, formerly of the
Massachusetts agricultural college but now in
charge of the private experiment farm of Mr..
Valentine in Orange county, N. Y, has been
making experiments to test the value of ensi-
lage as compared with dried corn fodder. The
result of his experiments tends to prove, what
many chemists and scientific men have claim
ed, that little or nothing is gained in the nu-
tritive value of the fodder by preserving it in
green state, A quantity of green corn fod-
der was preserved in q silo, and an equal guam
tity when green was dried. Both kinds were
fed to mich COWS. The milk of the COWS fed
on the dry fodder made little the most but
ter. Tho ensilage lasted triae longer but
there was no material difference. The best
results were obtained by feeding about half
ensilage with dry fodder and grain. Prof.
Alvord seems to think that the quality of the
butter was rather improved when the COWS
were fed with ensilage in connection with dry
fodder and grain. In making these expert
ments the ensage alone and the dry fodder
alone was fed alternately TO the two sets of
COWS, so that no difference in the animals
could affect the result

Modern dairy farming says the Hon. Hi.
ram Smith of Wisconsin, starts out with keep
ing one COW on four acres and this should be
the password to every dairy lodge Zone
COW to four acres !" and this should be rap
idly reduced until the undoubted possibility
is reached of keeping one to every acre One
of the principles of modern dairy farming is
to have our COWS give the most milk when
dairy goods are at the highest price, which
is invariably in the winter. 1t has been re-
peatedly demonstrated that a good herd of
cows coming into milk in September, Octo-
Der and November, will, in the average, give
from 1000 to 5000 pounds of milk annually.
This milk is worth, to sell at q factory, or to
manufacture into butter or cheese ST. 80 per
100 pounds, or $5S 80 as the average for
each COW. In other words, dairy farming
with one COW to eight acres on 100 acres pro-
duces 81, 100 modern dairy farming with one
COW to four acres produces 81, GG0-an in
crease of 81, 800; by AN outlay of feed and
help, net profit of SG.4O-a sum sufficient
to raise the price of land from $50 to 500
per acre. A fundamental condition of sue.
cessful farming is large crops of corn-not
less than two acres of fodder and four acres
of field corn for every ten cows or total of
twentyfour acres for forty COWS.

A Le..on in Hor.e Man.raD,.n,.

Young man, see you are about to take a
drive this morning, and will offer you some
advice. Your horse is FESTIVE and wants to be
of before you are ready you may as we'll
break him of that now as at any other time,
and hereafter you will find it has been half
hour well spent. just give me the reins while
you put your foot on the step as if to get in !;
the horse makes a move to go; tighten the
reins and say whoa" Now put your foot on
the step again the horse makes another
moves hold the reins and speak to him
again. The horse is getting excited Pat him
little on the neck and speak to him sooth-
ingly. Put your foot on the step again, and
repeat this process until the horse will stand
still for you to get in, adjust yourself in your
seat, and tell him to go. A very few lessons
will train him so that he will always wait for
orders before starting.
Now, as your horse has just been fed, drive
him at very gentle pace for the first two or
three miles, until he warns up and his body
becomes lighter. But, before you start, let
me show you how to hold the reins Take
them in your left hand, have them of equal
length from the bit aud to cross each other in
your hand, the of side one resting on your
hrst finger, the other on the fourth flyer, the

WHEN TO ToP.DREss LANDs.-There is a
difference of opinion among good farmers as
to the best time to apply op.dressing to grass
lands We have known some to haul out the
coarse dressing and put it in heaps on the
land in the fall and then leave it unspread all
winter, spreading the samo in the spring the
result would be SO much grass that it would
fall down and rot, while between there would
be but slight increase of the crop. We
have tried this method and fully abandoned
it. Others haul out the dressing on the
grass lands in winter and spread it. This
works better than the other plan, hut is not
the best way. We have have found by long
experience that the better way is TO put the
dressing on in the fall and spread it, II il be
the stable or barnyard manure but if spe-
cial fertilizer, then in the spring In this
way We have secured the best results. In
the case of lawns we recommend using some
coarse dressing once in three or four years
In this way the lawn may be kept in good
condition for many years We know that
many object TO the use Of coarse manure on

Alter the Harvest.

The scythe is rusting in the tree,
The rake lies broken on the glade;
The mower, in a reyerie,
Is stretched at ease within the shade.
A goodly man the mower is,
With sinews tough as twisted rods;
\ form of manly grace is his,
A head as trenchant as gods.
A man OF thought: the harvest DER,
Its heat and triumphs left behind,
He rests, and gives himself once more
To pleasures Of the heart and mind.
Such pleasures! All the glorious skies
Their happy deeps, their lines, their forms
That foat-are wonders to his eyes;
IL glories in their fires and storms.
The sweet green earth he deems most fair;
He knows her moods of ease and toll;
He walks abroad, and everywhere
Sees blessings springing from the soil.
The woods and pastures, near and far,
To him their secrets yield; he knows
The shy spot where the berries are,
The corner where the sweet mint grows.
His friendships lie on every hand,
In man and cattle, bird and bee
And be is wise to understand
The language of the flower and tree.
The free air and the light he quaffs
Are turned to sunshine in his veins;
His speech is cheer, and when he laughs
Great natures joy is in his veins.
For him the cloud shall break and pass,
And show behind the shattered bars
The splendor of its fields and grass,
The glory of the sky and stars.
