THE FARMER.

The Jerseys are the native cattle
Of Russia, and can be purchased in
that country at from So to $40 per
head. 1t is more than probable if
we should import directly from
Russia a little careful judgment
would give us stock of Jerseys
that would be hardy and vigorous.
Chickens when first hatched
should not be hurried out of the sit
ting nest. For twenty-four hours
at least, from the time the earliest
commence to show themselves, it is
better to leave them under or with
the ben mother They need no
food for from day to a day and
half usually. When they get
strong enough to venture from be-
meath their mothers wings it is
time to move the brood
When spring calves are to be
raised, it is better to raise those
which come in March than later,
though they may be successfully
raised at any season of the year. In
dairies where cows habitually come
in the spring, heifer calves dropped
in March are much more likely to
be ready to enter the dairy at a
timely date in the spring, when
they are two years old than are
calves dropped later in the season.
A practical farmer, who has done
q good deal of tile draining, says
that he has two fields, apparently |
alike originally, one Of which is |
drained in lines ten PAGES apart,
with drains two and half feet deep. |
The other is drained in fourteen
pace lines with tile laid three and |
half feet in the ground 1t is
many years since the draining was
done; but the deeper drains have
uniformly carried off surplus water
best, They have, besides, deepen
ed the soil. The roots of clover in
the deeply drained soil are larger
and go farther than IN the other.
A writer in the Ohio Farmer says
that he is not an old wheat raiser,
but has not lived these last few
years to no purpose, and thinks he
has struck the keynote of success in
raising wheat in a thorough fitting
of the soil before sowing the seed
and he is convinced that a poor
piece of land, dragged, rolled and
then reftted until the ground is as
mellow as an cash heap" will pro-
duce better yield Of wheat than a
rich piece of land poorly plowed,
half dragged and the seed scattered
among the Jumps and clods, and
portion of it without covering or
any chance to germinate and obtain
a hold.
Here is a practical idea, in few
words, from a correspondent of the
Yard: I make saw benches
for roosts-that is, | take 2x4 scant-
ling and nail legs to them Of the
length to suit space and breed.
These, as you will at once see, can
be moved at pleasure when cleaning
1roppings, or for any other reason
that may present itself; but the best
part of it is as regards lice. Every
week [ take my kerosene can and
90 to the hen house, carefully pick
Up and carry out of doors my saw
benches, pour the kerosene on them,
ind touch it off; the fame will
quickly run over every part of it,
md go out without burning the
wood, but every mite, or nit that
would have made one, you are rid
# forever. [ have followed this
,lan for some time, and have no
rouble with lice.

The American Cultivator says:
"We imagine that many farmers
plant too large a garden and try to
raise too much variety. Enough to
supply ones own needs is about all
the ordinary farmer can afford to
grow, unless it be a little surplus to
supply a local market" We i'm
agine the trouble is that they do net
plant any garden at all worth men
tioning and do not raise vegetables
to supply their own tables season
ably.

PREPARING 70 PEUNDER.


A Chicago correspondent of the
Memphis appeal, under date of the
8th, says the Palmer House, one of
the principal hotels of that city, is
in state of eruption, and a very
effective serio comedy is being enac-
ted within its palatial walls Last
week Mr.. Willis Howe, whose title
has been raised to "managing part
ner of the Palmer House company" f."
sent a note to each of the 200 per-
manent guests of the house, request
ing them to vacate their rooms one
week in June and another IN July,
during lthe two national political
conventions. There ensued deep
lamentation among the regular
boarders, many of whom had resid-
ed at this caravansary for years be-
fore Mr.. Howe left his small clerk
ship at another hotel. Protests were
numerous, secret indignation meet
ings were held, Potter Palmer was
appealed to and recourse had to va
riOus expedients with a view of
changing the order of the "manag-
ing partner" but all in vain. Yes
terday all the regular boarders who
failed to acquiesee in the Howe pro
gram were notified that their rates
of board were forthwith raised 400
per cent. This was the last straw,
and the regular guests have resolv-
ed to quit the house on the last day
of May. 1t is arranged that at a
certain hour on that day 200 car
riages will form in line in front of
the Palmer House, and every regu
lar boarder will file out and the
grand procession will move through
the principal streets, followed by
long line of express wagons loaded
with the baggage. The exodus be-
ing complete, the evicted people will
then scatter to their new homes,
never to return to the house of the
managing editor"

"Eor Eosr, BUT GONE BEFORE

London Queen.
The above is very common ex-
preston, and yet its true source has
been almost wholly overlooked. 1t
has figured as an epitaph upon the
gravestones and has been utilized
by the poets and other writer's. The
thought is, indeed, q Christian
thought, but the words are the
words of pagan. 1t was the steic
Seneca who said. "Not lost but
gone before" There is in his 36th
epistle a remarkable sentence, in
which we read, "Death, which we
dread and shun, interrupts life, does
not take it away; the day will come
again which will restore us the
light, and which many would shun
unless it brough back those who are
forgotten" The meaning of this
is not that of the Christian, and
nothing else in Seneca, so far as we
can discover, can be compared with
the phrase under consideration.
But Cyprian, the martyr, who
wrote in the third century, supplies
us with something very definite.
In his discourse "On Mortality"
Cyprian speaks in this language:
"Our brethren should not be be-
walled when by the summons of
the Lord they are delivered from
this wsrld, for [ know they are not
lost but sent before (nen eos amitti,
sed premitti,) that when they re-
tire they prscede Cor go before SO
that they ought to be longed after
as those who go on journey or a
voyage, and not lamented. 1t will
be seen at glance that our Gem
mon saying is almost an exact
rendering Of the words of Cyprian,
and to him we should hesitate to
ascribe the expression.

CARE OF ORCHARDS.
WHAT ATTENTION WILL AC-
COMPLISU,
From the Cincinnati News Journal.

From the Cincinnati News Journal
We thank our Iowa correspond
ent for his remarks on "The Care
Of Orchards" in The NelcS Journal
of a few weeks ago. Iowa has not
been considered as a favorable eli
mate for the culture of fruit, but the
experience of our correspondent,
who has resided there some forty
years, shows what may be done by
care and attention. A few years
ago he rented from q neighber an
orchard in very bad condition, and
which had never repaid its owner
for the expense Of fencing. After
fencing, scraping, and soapwashing,
substantially as described in our ar
ticle, he was delighted to see it set
and mature fine crop of fruit. But
owing to the scarcity of fruit in the
neighb0ring orchards, his invest
ment did not remunerate him, as
his fruit was carried off by basket
fuls both by day and by night. But
his experiment showed what could
be done with ali orchard ruined by
neglect. There are thousands of
orchards in the Ohio Valley which
have been neglected in the same
way, until their owners have come
to the conclusion that the climate
has so changed that fruitgrewing
no longer pays. TO all such we
would say, turn over new leaf
with the commencement of this new
year; see that your. orchards are
put in good order, dead and dying
trees and branches removed. moss
and all that harbor insects Scraped
off, the bodies and large branches
we'll swabbed with soft soap and
caTbolic acid or some other insecti-
eide, the ground we'll manurcd and
scarifed where sod bound, destroy
caterpillar nests, keep your pigs in
tho orchard to destroy the insectss
in the fallen fruit, and report to
The NelcS Journal next autumn
whether fruit raising pays. The
last generation, with q virgin soil
and the protective wind breaks of
FORESTS, needed only
to plant their trees and nature did
the rest. But the present has an
other lesson to learn constant crop
ping has impoverished the soil, in
sects have multiplied, and new spe-
cies have been introduced; tho
wind breaks have been cut away,
and the rains, instead of being alb
sorbed by the soil or sluggishly
finding way into the streams, now
drain rapidly from the surface and
are carried off in washing torrents.
These changed conditions require

WHISKY LEGISLATION.

4 w IL AOANs
To the Editor OF The Morristown Gazette:
There is no doubt of the fact tha
very decided majority of the vo
ters of both political parties, in mos
ofthe counties in Tennessee, desir
to be rid of tho curse of whisky
This has been so for a number o
years past; and is more decidedly
SO to-day than ever before.
1t is now settled beyond serioul
controversy that prohibitory and 10
cal option laws are constitutional.
Very extensive, experience in
many of the States has demonstrat,
ed that, outside of tho large towns
prohibition, whether by vote under
a local option law, or by direct en-
actmeRt, does prohibit.
If the will of the people on this
subject could be expressed by en-
actment, of the Tennessee Legisla-
ture, we would have either a pro-
hibitery or a local option law en-
acted by the next General Assem-
bly,.
But those who desire this thing,
have hitherto been defeated. How :?
1t has been done in the nominating
conventions. Unless there is, very
soon an dctiUe interest taken in this
matter, by temperance men, of both
parties, another defeat awaits them.
When the nominating conventions
meet, the whisky men by them
selves and by those whom they can
trust, will be on hand. They will
be there to deprecate making po-
litieal question out of the whisky
question. They will be there to ex-
press themselves as loudly in favor
of temperance as any body. But
they viii be there to effect the NOM
ination of men for Legislative office,
who are non-committal on this
subject. And unless they are met
and beaten in this particular game,
the next Legislature of Tennessee
will take ne decided step in regard
to the sale of whisky. ~
Now, this ought not to be made
a party question, for the reason,
that among the masses, both parties
alike favor decided steps in regard
to whisky.
This is what ought to be done.
Temperance men of both parties
ought now to begin to put their
heads toSether-apd ascertain who
are the proper men of their respect
i've parties, TO be trusted. If candi-
dates are making themselves known,
temperance men ought to approach
them and exact from them decided
pledges. If they win net make
these pledges, let men be brought
out who viii make them.
Then let temperance men attend
the conventions in force sufficient to
the nomination of such men
as they can trust.
For certainly, a man is not less
worthy to be trusted as Demo
crat, because he is a sober man, and |
because he is willing to dc what he
can to rid the country of drunken
ness and crime. .eal 4ao.- stI
Certainly our Republican friends
have in taeir ranks good, sound,
able, trustworthy men, who will
vote for Republican measures every
lime and who will yet vote for To-
al option or for prohibition. See
% it, temperance men, whether
Democrats or Republicans, that the
proper men are nominated, and then
Tou will not be compelled to vote
or whisky advocate, in order to
ret to vote the ticket. -.l4

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The claim that the

In the congressional election OF 1882, the aggre-
