FARM NOTES.

A successful Illinois dairyman as
serts that he keeps 100 cows and never
raises a pound of hay. He feeds bis
cattle on corn fodder, cut when in
blossom, bound and set up until cured,
or until winter, when it is removed to
the barn. He gets seven tons of this
dry fodder to the acre, and affirms that
it is worth as much as the best of hay.
The most satisfactory grass for gen.
eral lawns, says an exchange, is June
grass. 1t makes quick, stiff sod, and
holds its own against weeds and other
grasses for long time 1t is cheap
and easily procured. The famous
Kentucky blue grass is nothing but
our ordinary June grass, varied by
being grown on the limestone soils OF
Kentucky.
A farmer at Dedham, Mass, gets,
in good seasons, four tons of hay per
acre. He does it by top dressing the
grass land with five cords per acre of
good barnyard manure, applied with
Kemp manure-spreader. All the
manure from $50 head of neat
stock and 1000 hogs is used this
way, while fertilizers are applied to
the corn grown for ensilage.
1t is estimated that each inhabitant
OF the United States consumes, on an
average, a pint and half of milk a
day, in the form of food and drink, and
as much more in the shape of butter
and cheese. To furnish in the form
of beef the equivalent of the milk con-
sumed would require the slaughtering
of "a, 1000, 900 fat steers weighing on
an average, l,5OO pounds each.
The sanitary Importance of tile
draining deserves to be considered,
as well as its agricultural value. This
point was emphasized by Hon Mr..
Cumback, of Indiana, in a recent
speech. "In this fat State of Indiana"
he said, "the thousands of miles of tile
bitches that lie buried in our swamp
lands have carried off not only the sur
face and stagnant water, but ague
enough to shake the world if it wer
all let loose at once upon the earth"
1t is fortunate that ague didn't get
loose.
In making the butter known as
"butterine," leaf lard is run through
hashing- machine and rendered at a
temperature of about I400 Next it is
deodorized and cooled for several days,
then drained of, melted, churned and
mixed with cream butter, the proper
tion of the latter varying from 20 to
SO per cent. Various substances are
used for coloring, which NAV or may
not be injurious. Raw fat rendered at
q low temperature, says the american
Cultiuator, cannot be regarded as
healthful food.

An Exemplary Citizen.

New YORK, March 27.-The move
ment on the part of friends of Carl
Schurz to raise him testimonial of
$780, 600 has been abandoned at the
earnest request of Mr. Schurz. A con-
siderable portion of the sum named
had already been paid into the fund,
and without doubt the full amount
would have been raised The matter
coming to Mr.. Schurz's knowledge, he
requested that the money be returned
to the subscribers, and out of regard
for his feelings this has been done.
The following personal letter from the
ex-Secretary expresses his views:
As EAST SIXTY-EIGHTH STREET,
FRIDAY, March 81, 1884.
To M Dear Mr.. Schwab.
| saw the Tribune only late this
afterpoon, and found in it statement
that some of my friends were engaged
in raising fund of 100000 to be
presented to me. Upon further in
quiry learned that you are the treas
urer of the committee organized for
that purpose, and that a very consd-
erable part of the sum is already avail
able. Let me confess to you that this
matter is very embarrassing to me.
Not as though | were in doubt as to
general line of conduct to follow, but
because / should be exceedingly sorry
in obeying my impulse to do anything
that might in the least be liable to be
interpreted as want Of appreciation on
my part of the generous motives of my
friends who prepared this valuable sur
prise for me. Let me assure you that
| esteem it great honor to have such
friends, and that am proud of being
thought of by them deserving of such
rewards. Nobody can appreciate this
more than | do At the same time |
could not accept such sums of money
without giving proper equivalent for
them. This may be a matter Of feel
ing; but, as such, it is of great impor-
tance to the person concerned. To
this feeling | should have given decid-
ed expression had | been consulted
when the enterprise was begun. [
consider it, therefore, proper, before
any formal presentation is made to me,
to ask, through you, my friends to for
give me if, with the highest possible
appreciation Of their generous senti-
ments, feel obliged to decline in ad-
vance this valuable sign of their friend
ship and esteem, so that no further
steps be taken; and l wish to say
further that shall be indebted to
you, dear Mr., Schwab, if you will
kindly return to the respective con-
tributors the various sums paid into
this fund
| am cordially and gratefully your
friend G.. SCHURZ.

Blaine's Strength at Chicago.

There is no reason to doubt that
Blaine will exhibit greater strength in
the next National Convention, on first
ballot, than he did in Cincinnati in
1876, or in Chicago in 1880. The pop
ular sentiment will be more fully and
freely expressed, and the delegates will
not be hampered by instructions or SO
easily sSayed by the party leaders.
There will be larger and more liberal
exercise of individual judgment than
ever before, because there is wider
and more general demand for the Sc
lection of candidate who will best
meet the exigencies of the party and
give the surest promises of success.
In 1876 Blaine received 2S5 votes on
the first ballot, the whole number be-
ing 754, and lacked but SO votes of q
nomination. He gained ii votes on
the second ballot, and when the seventh
ballot was cast he had 345. or 33 less
than majority. He was by all odds
the most popular candidate and was
fairly entitled to the nomination, but
his defeat was compassed by influences
which it is not necessary to dwell upon
now On this last ballot he received
l40 votes from the Southern States,
and he should have had at least an
equal strength from that section in the
next convention.
In 1890 Blaine received 294 votes
on first ballot, or 20 less than were cast
for Grant. He maintained his strength
with remarkable steadfastness all
through the subsequent balloting, up
until the thirty-Gfth ballot, when the
break was made in favor of Garfield.
At no time during that wonderful con-
test did Blaine's vote fall below 240,
and for the most part it vibrated be-
tween $50 and 284. When the last
ballot but one had been reached, Gar
field jumped from II to so, and on the
last ballot he received 399, Blaine hav-
ing but AZ. Grant still held his 3O6,
so that it was the friends of Blaine
who nominated Garfield.
At Chicago, the States from which
Blaine received his chief support were
California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York and Pennsyl-
vania. He had no support four years
ago in Massachusetts, where he will
now have a number of delegates. In
Pennsylvania he had but % delegates,
but now he will come pretty near
sweeping the State. In Ohio, where
he had but 8 votes in 1880, he ought
to have more than double that number
now, and the same is true of other Sec
tions In word, he has lost none of
his old-time prestige and power, and
will undoubtedly lead all other candi-
dates at the opening of the balloting If
the South comes up as fully to his sup
port as it did in 1876 he will be the
man.-Pittsburgh CONNER

good. If man from the use of drink
is not at his best, has be not used too
much? And if that is his habit is he
not an Incorporate man!
When is a man rightly spoken of IS
a man of known Incorporate habits !
Is it necessary that the witress be able
to tell how many people he has heard
say so Are not the things we know
best, the things we do not talk about !
We are more apt to express opinions
about things that are under discussion.
If, for example, | should say "W. d..
Brandon is known to be temperance
man. that would be true, yet | cannot
now recall more than a single instance
in which | was told so. The evidence
is before the public and the public know
the truth So man may be a man of
known Incorporate habits when his
acts make him known to the commun-
ity he lives in. Should then the fact
that a man cannot give names weaken
his testimony Whether he can or can
not give them should not his word
stand for all it is worth when he delib-
eratel Y says that such a man Is man
of known Incorporate habits 2"
Temperance friends, there is ground
for encouragement, public sentiment is
growing in our favor and is affecting
courts and attorneys. Men no longer
need to apologize for presenting remon-
strances. The apology is more likely
to be forthcoming if an earnest plea is
made for license. Let US keep on
striving for better laws and especially
for the entire prohibition of the traffic
and in the meantime seek to enforce
the law we have and confne the traffic
within the narrowest limits possible.

Why Apprentices are Scarce

A contemporary writer says it is
principally because of the conceit of
foolish parents, who could not think Of
allowing their boys to soil their hands
with manual labor, or tarnish their
pedigree by associating with common
workmen. Many and many ayoung
man have l known whose aptitudes
called to him with all the imperious de-
mands of instinct to learn trade, but
he was prevented from doing so by his
parents, who preferred to see him filing
the more Important and digniied posi-
tion of clerk, often working fifteen
hours day for SIS per month, and
sometimes yielding to the small temp
tation to leave unpaid his tailor's and
washerwoman's bills, Or if he es-
capped the clerkship, he was almost
sure..to be found among the luckless nine.
ty and nine professional men who stand
off and eye with green envy the one in
the round hundred who has made sue
cess tits not lack of attention to the new
workman that is lowering the standard
in mechanical trades, but the folly of
parents in closing the doors of trades
in the face of their sons, and in the
absence of good material we get bad.
1t is often the case that we get hold of
a boy who has but few or no qualifica-
tions, natural or acquired, for trade,
but be can probably make more money
at that than at common labor, and as
we can get no better, we have to do the
best we. can There is no doubt but
we are getting poorer subjects every
year for apprentices for this very rea-
son. But we can reach point 80 low
that is impossible to go any lower, and
and I believe we have reached that
point in some lines of business Some
parents, and boys too, are getting their
eyes opened. They are learning that
they cannot plant dudes and raise men.
Many bubbles have been pricked, and
gliding has worn through. Labor is
becoming more dignifed, because more
than ever before is it welded to thought.
The manual training schools which are
springing up in nearly all of our large
cities are giving instructions to boys
whose parents, perhaps, would not at
the start consent to them entering the
shops These schools are doing good
work in teaching the principles of
trades, in fostering genuine love for
mechanics, and in pointing out the
special field where the yonng man can
labor with the assurance of receiving
his highest reward. With such bright
ening prospects as the work of the man.
ual trainig school warrants, we see no
reason for fearing that the race OF
good workmen in any trade will soon
die out. On the contrary, we believe
we will see mechanics increasing in
numbers and skill fro IN year to year.

Have Jurles too Much Power

In discussing the jury system in the
light of the Cincinnati riots, it is well
to distinguish between the system it
self and the abuses to which it is SUBJ
jected. The laws will generally be
found less Objectionable than the man
ner of their enforcement, hence the best
way to reform the jury system would
be to correct the abuses which inhere
in it by reason of the lax administra-
tion of the laws under which it was
organized.
There is strong disposition, how
ever, TO question the soundness of the
laws in relation to jurors. The pro-
visions under which intelligence is ex-
cluded and ignorance invited into the
iury-box; the fact that juries are made
Judges of the law as well as of the facts;
the requirement that they must be
unanimous in order to find q verdict;
that they are permitted to acquit if
they entertain a reasonable doubt as to
guilt, they themselves being the judges
as to what constitutes such doubt
these, and kindred provisions are re-
garded by many writer's as comforting
too much power upon juries, especially
when 80 little care is exercised IN get
ting the right kind Of men to serve as
jurors.
In some States, notably Illinois,
vigorous efforts have been made to
have the criminal code and practice 80
amended as to compel juries to take
the law from the courts, but as yet they
have proved unavailing The same
law prevails in this State, in New
York, and throughout the country gen.
orally. 1t is of little avail for judge 8
to instruct juries in the law, when the
law has already vested them with
power to determine the law for them
selves 80 far as the particular case be-
fore them is concerned. 1t is under
this authority that they are able to

Spiders.
From Good Woods.l

From Good Woods.
Spiders are not insects, as most peo-
pie think There is precisely the same
relationship between spider and an
insect that there is between cow and
q Goldfish. The cow and the fish are
both vertebrates, and the spider and
the insect are both annulates, but there
the resemblance ceases. In every
other point of structure they differ
widely from each other. The spider
has eight legs, whereas an insect can
not have more than six. The nervous
system is constructed on a totally diff
ferent principle, and so are the circula-
tion and respiration. The eyes are
different, the insects having many COM
pound eyes, and the spider never hav-
ing more than eight and all of them
simple
Then, a spider has no separate head,
as is the case with the insects, the
head and thorax being fused together.
Neither does the spider pass through
the series of developments which we
call transformations" When the
young spider is hatched it is spider,
and retains the same shape through it's
whole life. Again, no insect that is at
present known can spin silken threads.
Take the silkworm as a familiar exam
pie. The silk is spun by the caterpil-
lar and not by the moth. Now, the
spider can produce threads throughout
the whole of its life. 1t possesses,
moreover, the faculty of producing diff
ferent kinds of silk, according to the
object for which it is needed. If we
watch the first of these creatures we
may see all three silks produced. The
web of the diadem spider is made of
radiating cables, like the spokes of
wheel, and having a slight thread
wound spirally over the spokes. The
whole web is suspended by cables like
those which form the spokes, and guy
ropes of similar structure support it on
every side.
A bluebottle fly now comes buzzing
along and blunders against one of the
supporting cables. 1t is not arrested
by the cable, but falls upon the net,
where it is at once caught. If we ex-
anime the web with tolerably power
full magnifying glass we shall see that
the cables and spokes are quite smooth,
while the spiral thread is covered with
little globules Of gummy character.
There are about l, 400 of these globules
in each inch of thread, and on an aver
age complete web contains $1,000 of
them. These globules act just like
bird lime, and the moment that an in
sect touches one of them with it leg or
wing it is held tightly by the gum.
