Cow Boy Life on the Frontier.

Up in one corner of the notion
were two weather beaten tents, in
front of which a couple of saddled
ponies stood hitchcd to bar. These
were the headquarters of the COW
boys having charge of the range, and
none of us cnvied them either their
or their residence. There
is a certain excitement at times IN
being on horseback and riding over
the country, as there is in being at
sea, but taken ON the whole, a cow
boys life is like that of a sailor
hard, dull dIudgery. 1t is not sur
prising that they are apt. when
reaching civilization, to seek relief
from the monotony ot their lives as
sailors do, by ''livcly rollicking."
But cattle owners are more particu-
lar now than they used to he. and
enforce strictcr discipline. Their
men are required to be more humane,
and there is much less hard drink
ing and revolver shooting than was
at one time pcrmittc.l; ansl he men
are getting to be OF Il t'ettcr class.
One of them rode out as ne passed
the tents and accompanied us for
some distance, chatting upon differ
ent matters and giving information
about the fords on the river. Tray
elers on this road are infrequent, and

Abou! to Obtain . Fortune.

We learn from Jury Commission
er w. H. Virgin, that Mr.. Seth Rob-
inson and Mrs. Harriet Jones, Of
Clarksvillc, this county, are about to
receive a snug fortune, consisting Of
an English estate of several thous-
and, which they inherit from a de-
ceased relative Of their mother.
Their mother was native Of Eng
land her maiden name being Ellis
worth. This estate has been hang
ing fire for many years on account
Of a failure to trace the lineal descent
of the heirs, and it was not until a
short time ago that the chain Of
genealogy could be established.

Dick, Of that city, who have charge
of the case, through elaborate re-
search has succeeded in accurately
tracing the descent and securing y
perfect title for the Clarksville heirs.
Mr.. Dick visited Clarksyilie only a
few days. ago in order to obtain
the signature Of Mr.. Robinson and
Mrs. Jones to the necessary papers
for the transfer OF the estate to the
real owners. It is d matter Of great
congratulation to the fortunate lady

The Progress Of Ensilage.

Within the last few years ensilagc
has passed the experimental stage,
and has been adopted by SO many
farmers that it may be considered
as an established method among
many who devote themselves to
dairying. The number Of silos, in
the United States in 1850 is said to
have been only six, while it is. esti-
mated that there are now about two
thousand. In England there were
in 1850 only fonr silos. while now
Mr.. NJ J. Sutton, in his recent adj
mirablc work on Permanent and
Temporary Pastures" estimates that
there are between eleven and twelve
hundred. In England, the silo will
come into competition with ordinary
hay making, allowing The farmer to
secure his crops of grass and clover
in very wet seasons more promptly
and safely than he could as hay.
In this country. ON the other hand,
ensilage viii he mainly directed to
the preservation Of fodder corn a
crop Of admitted value, but one
which is on all hands regarded as
very difficult to cure. In the South
crn States, the silo will allow the
farmer to preserve one of his most
important crops, the Southern Cow
pea. This. which 10 regarded a.
most valuable as hay, Is difficult 10
cure, rs the large leaves are shaken
off in the process, but packed In the
siIo, they yield must valuable cattle

There were used last year in the
State Of New Jersey 100000 tons Of
commercial fertilizers. 1t is estima-
ted that two thirds of this was used
for garden and fruit crops.
The free use of cloyerseed and
keeping of farm stock enables farm
ers to maintain land in good condi-
ton for ordinary cropping without
purchasing commercial manurcs.
Small fruit culture will always be
most successful on the intensive
plan. Plant only small area at a
time and give that the best culture

on one acre ihan that amount on

to call the bill up the motion will be opposed,

The opposition claim enough strength to con.

will be privately appealed to not to allow any
time to be wasted by taking the tariff bill up
when there is so little probability of its passage.
1t is said that there will be a number of votes
against the bill from the south. Some of the
Pennsylvania men will probably vote with Mr..

it is said that instead of there being only two
democratic protectionists, there will be not
more than five, and, possibly, only three who
will vote for the bill. Hewitt, Adams and Bel
