= RISING TIDE

The wsst wind clears the morning,
The sea shines silver gray;
The night was long, but fresh and strong
Awakes the breezy day;
Like smoke that flies across the lift,
The clouds are faint and thin;
And near and far along the bar,
The tide comes creeping in
The dreams Of midnight showed me-
A life Of loneliness.
A stony shore, that knew no moro
The bright waves soft caress:
The morning broke, the vision fed
With dawn new hopes begin;
The light Is sweet, and at my feet
The tide comes rolling in.
Over the bare, black boulders
The ocean sweeps and swells;
Oh, waters wide, We come to hide
Dull stones and empty shellsl
! hear the floods lift up their voice
With loud, triumphant din;
Sad dreams depart-rest, doubling heart,
The tide comes foaming in

Few American farmers know what .
perfect meadow is. We do not give the
requisite preparation Of the ground, the
adequate amount of seed, the proper
quantity of manure, or the right varie-
ties Of grass TO make permanent and
profitable meadow The English farm
ers understand this business well and
practice il literally; consequently Ameri-
Can travellers noting the deep verdure
and luxuriant heritage of an English
meadow, are astonished at the difference
between it and an American field, and
suppose there are .nsuperable obstacles
in the soil and the climate, to which are
owing the brown and bare appearance of
our grass lands But the English farm
ers frequently spend more than the whole
value of an American farm in laying
down one OF their fields to grass, and
they have q common proverb among
them that cit breaks man to make q
pasture" But they acknowledge that
the soil returns all favors of the kind
to it by also believing that 1t makes q
man to break a pasture
Until we have these ideas in regard to
meadows we shall continue to have the
poor apologies for them which are so
common, and which are better fitted to
pillow under for corn crop than for any
other use, and yet the greatest need of
our agriculture is permanent grass lands,
and such meadows as will yield four or
five tons of hay per acre or fatten one
bullock to the acre. 1t is q mistake TO
think that our climate forbids it. There
are some few fields OF this kind that have
been made, and thousands that have
made themselves by an ingenious growth
Of the famous blue grass Of Kentucky,
and where one attempt succeeds others
may. These considerations are timely
when the hay has been cut and taken in,
and the meadow is left without protec-
ton from the heat and drought, and with
out food to make up for the exhaus-
ton OF the crop which has been taken
OF Our grass seedlings are make-shifts
and merely incidents in short rotation,
IN which the sod is plowed under to
begin new course, and in this case its
value is no more than that which has
been given to it in its preparation We
cannot get something for nothing. and if
we want grass field to Iasr forty or fifty
years we must lay out in preparation
more work and value than for one which
is exhausted in three years
1t takes time, however, to realize all
our hopes and desires in this direction,
but much may. be done by caring for
such grass as we have in better manner
than is usual. And we may profita bly,
make beginning by top dressing the
meadows now, to enable them to make a
quick recovery from the cutting and to
strengthen the roots against the winter.

stroying the dreaded grapevine pnyiio..-
era. In speaking Of the various lnsecn.
cides before mentioned, he SAID that al
six of the substances TO be used ABOVE
ground may be used Ia liquid form, ana
he preferred to apply them II that way
Recipes.
CoRN STARcH CAKE. Whites Of four
eggs, one cup Of powdered sugar, one
half cup of butter, two-thirds cup OF corn
starch, one-half cup of sweet milk one cup
-four, two teaspo0nfuls baking powder,
lemon fiavoring. Cream the butter and
sugar thoroughly either with the hand
or q silver spoon, mix the corn starch
with the milk, and add. Then add the
eggs, beaten stiff; next the sifted hour,
into which the baking powder has been
stirred
CLOrTED CREAM. Let unskImmed
milk stand in clean milkpan for twelve
hours In summer. or twenty-four IN
winter, without moving the pan; then
set the pan on the back Of the stove
where it win heat gently until the top
begins to wrinkle, but do not allow It to
begin to boil: the curd and cream will
form in a solid mass on the top before
the whey begins to boil: at that point
carefully remove the pan from the fire,
and let it remain undisturbed until the
cream is cold; then, with skinner, lift
the clotted cream from the whey and put
it into a glass dish to send to the table.
Ox-TAn Sour. Cut an ox-tail in
pieces about an inch long, wash it well in
plenty of cold water, put it over the fire
in fresh cold water enough to cover it,
and let it slowly reach the boiling point:
then drain it, roll it in -four seasoned
with salt and pepper; put it over the fire
in a saucepan containing two tablespoon
tuls. of butter made smoking hot, and
brown it; while the ox-tail is being
Drowned, peel and cut in small dice
carrot turnip and an onion; when the
ox-tail is brown add the vegetables to it,
together with three quarts of boiling
water, and paIatable seasoning of salt
and pepper, and boil the soup slowly for
three hours, keeping the saucepan COW
cred; then add tablespoonful of any
good table-sauce, aud serve the soup.
PrcKLED BUTyERNUTs. Gather the
green nuts while the outer rind is yet
tender; put them into brine made by
boiling salt and water enough together
to make brine which will float an egg;
skim the brine clear while it's boiling,
then cool it. and when it is cold pour it
over the butternuts, and let them stand
for two weeks; take care that they are
covered with brine. At the end of two
weeks pour off the brine and measure it;
allow an equal quantity of vinegar. and
about half a cupful of mixed spices to
each quart of vinegar: whole cloves, pep
per-corns, mace. allspice. cinnamon,
green ginger, mustard-seed and horse
radish are good pickle spices: they
should be brought TO the boiling.point
in the vinegar, which should then be al
lowed to cool before it is poured over
the butternuts: they should be closely
covered and allowed to stand until thor
oughly saturated with the vinegar before
they are used.

| Professor Riley, the United States en-
tomologist, in recent paper gave the re-
suit of his experiments for the destruc-
ton Of the insects that stand in the way
of successful fruit culture. He first al
luded to the codling moth. He believed
that there was no question that Paris
green was not only a remedy, but that
there was little danger in using it. But
he still is unable to overcome disincli-
nation to recommend it, especially since
the late Dr. Hull maintained that he had
found Stacked lime busted on the trees
equally as effectual Professor Riley
positively affirmed that he knew that the
worms sometimes left one apple for an
other a question that has been occasion
ally discussed. For plum curculio, he
believed that there was nothing superior
to larring. He placed no faith in the re-
pellant powers of strong smelling sub
stances which are sometimes recommend
ed. He said if he were to enumerate
the six most important substances that
could be used for destroying insects above
ground, he would mention tobacco soap,
hellebore, arsenic, petroleum and pyre-
thrum. 1t has lately been learned, too,
that the vapOr of nicotine. that is, to-
bacco vapur, is not only very effectual in
destroying insects wherever it can be
confined, as in greenhouses, but that it
Is less injurious to delicate plants than
either the smoke or the LIQUID This
fact will explain the efficacy Of tobacco
stems strewn upon the ground. As an
instance of the good results attending
the latter plan, he cited the interesting
experience Of William Saunders in deal
| ing with the green leaf hoppers These,
until two years ago, bafiied all his eff
forts; they caused his grape leaves to
graperY at Washington. But he found
that by strewing the ground under the
vines with the tobacco stems which were
constantly being moistened by the syring-
ing, the leaves were preserved intact,
and he had no further trouble from that
source He explained how to make a
permanent kerosene emulsion. Take
two parts of kerosene with one of sour
milk, and churn the mixture together by
means Of force pump, which produces
! butter like substance that is easily di-
luted to any degree with water
he also stated that permanent emul-
sion can be made BY substituting soap
FOR milk, or . certain proportion of dis
solved soft soap could be added to the
kerosene and milk. The value of this
emulsion when applied by improved
spraying machinery IS not yet appreci-
/ afed, as it viii be when it becomes bet
ter known. Recent experiments show
that it can be used on almost all kinds
Of vegetation without injury to the
plants

The Beresford News says in re-
gard to the nomination for the legis-
lature, at Beresford:
The nomination in Clay and Lin
coin counties unanimous but in
Union the contest lay between Win.
Duncan and Geo. Freeman Of Elk
Point for the council. After 4 tedious
CAUCUS II was decided to throw over
both these parties and take q new
man. John Finney of Virginia twp.
nm ssleetqd - the candidate by 10
vote II u 3 and Ole Gunderson,
delegate In Brule twp. appointed
to present his name in the conven-
ton. When Union county's candi-
dates were called, to the surprise OF
all Elk Points veteran wire-puller
popped up and nominated VIM.
Duncan, and the rest Of the delegation
either paralyzed by the supreme
cheek Of the action, or satisfied with
the nomination, sat like a lot of
wooden men and let the outrage 90
unrebuked.
If this nomination, brought about
~ it was, suits the people Of Union
county, all we have to say is that
they are easily satisfied.
According TO our understanding
Of this matter this is an unjust
representation Of the proceedings in
the Union county caucus. There
the vote stood both in the informal
and formal ballot five to three in ia
vor Of Duncan and Larson, when
the caucus adjourned Mr.. N. J. Wal
lace, to whom the News refers as
lflk Points veteran wire-puller, was
placed on the committee on creden-
tials and the minority three suc-
ceeded in bringing over two Of five
who constituted the majority in the
cancrls, and the new majority deci-
ded or pretended to have decided in
q street caucus without consulting
Mr.. Wallace, or allowing him to
know any thing about the arrang-
ments to discard Mr.. Freeman and
Mr.. Duncan and take a "new man,
When the Union county candidates
were called Mr.. Wallace, as was
perfectly legitimate and proper,
placed in nomination Capt. Duncan.
If the balance of the delegation
chose to allow the matter to pass
without a dissenting voice through
the convention, we see no a for
upbraiding either MI. Duncan, Mr..
Larson, or Mr.. Wallace, and taking
the matter all in all we think the
News very unjust in its observa-
tons.
