Farm and Garden Notes.

Secure pure water for home use.
Plant both useful and ornamental
trees, and do it early.
Trim out the dead wood in currant
and gooseberry bushes.
The vit.lity of old seeds should be
tested before planting or sowing.
The richest clover hay is the second
growth, made when the weather is hot,
and the plant is obliged to reach down
into the subsoil for moisture.
Stagnant water on the farm is the
hotbed of disease, and annually will
cause ten times the loss equal to an
amount appropriated for draining it off
Asa rule those crops pay best that re-
quire the most care and attention. The
brains and the labor are what sell in the
markets in the shape of the crop.
The most economical mode of using
the buttcrmilk is to give it to the young
pigs and also to the laying hens, as it
promotes growth of body and assists in
the production of eggs
The best soil for the strawberry isa
deep, strong loan. with an Impervious
harl pan sub soil. This land should
be an old field that will grow three
fourths OF ton of hay to the acre and
should be planted to corn the first year.
When the uddcr of the COW becomes
hard prolonged bathing with warm
water is the best remedy. Use the
water freely and rub the udder during
the application then wipe dry. 1t
should be treated daily until relief be
given.
Tar paper is one of the best materials
known for lining poultry houses, as the
fumes will prevent the entrance of lice
as we'll as the cold air in winter. A
granary lined with tar paper will not be
infested with grain weevils, and one
lined with tar felt may De considered as
rat AID mice proof.

There is no fixed ratio of grain in
stock; in all experiments that have been
made, it has been demonstrated that |
even with animals of the same age and |
breed, fed alike, and given equal ai-
vantages, each individual differed from !
the others in the weight gained during
the same period of time.
Rotation of crops bafil IS, in measure,
the root enemies, both insect and |
fungus, that prey upon them. Each
plant has its own peculiar enemies, and
changing of plants removes them to
fields unoccupied by such enemies. This
is true of the enemies of the above
ground growth of plants to an i'm.
portant degree.

The success of some of the agents employed
by b. F. johnson a Co., Richmond, Va, is
truly marvellous. 1t is not an unusual thing
for their agents to make as high as $50 and
$50 day, and sometimes their profits run up
as high as $40 and Sj0-even more. But we
hesitate to tell the whole truth. or You will
scarcely believe we are in earnest. Write to

principle Of primogeniture, and the popular
distrust to a military order led to an amend
ment to the constitution proposed in 1874
opening the society to all who served In the
war upon the American side. The subordl-
nate divisions Of the various States failed to
ratlfy this amendment. The Connecticut,
Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Virginia and Georgia branches fingered on
into this century and expired-the society In
Connecticut was recently revived; and there
are now only about half dozen branches
which hold annual meetings on the Fourth
OF July. This Is the society Of the Cincin-
nati which took its name from the old
Roman, and which by a lack Of judgment at
ltS organization put fatal check upon Its
growth and usefulness. The Grand Army
was founded on broader basis, and win
remain upon that basis In spite Of the dissat-
istaction OF one or two disappointed mem
bers In Indiana.
letter from the White Earth Indian
reservation in Minnesota describes the way
he sayages bury their dead. The original
style Of burial that prevailed among the
tribe before white men set foot on the CONT
nent has been followed to some extent. The
graves are in the branches OF big trees. A
resting place for the dead has been made Of
branches and sticks half woven together
and fastened to the limbs Of the tree, and on
these, covered with bark, and with bow and
arrow on their breasts ready for use In the
land Of the Great Spirit, the remains are
laid, high enough to be out Of reach Of
wolves, II there are any, forever and forever
rocked to sleep as the wind blows through
the grave. Sometimes, at night, when the
moon shines In the clear sky, an Indian
woman comes from her tepee and sits in the
shadow OF the great oak tree that Is her hus-
band's grave and she sings a song-a sort Of
low plaintive chant Of sorrow for her dead.
In autumn. when the leaves fall from the
tree, she gathers them and takes them TO the
tepee, where she makes a couch for her chill
dren 70 sleep on. If she passes under the
grave Of her dead husband by daylight, she
does not look up at it, but turns her eyes to
the grounds and gives a sort Of mOurnful
cry, as II she were calling TO the dead man,
and had not the heart to look to learn il he
heard her voice. Some dozens Of these
graves are scattered through the timber land
on the reservation. Some have been there
for years, and are covered with moss and
dead leaves. Flocks Of bluejays haunt the
wood where these bodies lie, and they send
out screams as mournful Jas the scenes
around them all day long. It is a desolate
spot, where white men seldom go, even In
midday.

Interesting correspondence Between
a Lover and a Father.

OF the following letters, one is from Mr..
John Wise, father Of the late Gen. Henry AZ
Wise, written to Gen. John Cooper, seeking
permission to address his daughter, and the
other is Gen. Cooper's reply. In Mr.. Wise's
letter he says;
Feeling myself irresstibly impelIed by in
clination, and prompted by sense Of pro-
priety. have presumed now to address you
upon subject of Importance and deliclcy.
Having conceived an affection for YOUR
daughter Miss Sally, | beg leave to solicit
your permission to make addresses to her,
and at the same time let me express the hope
that should be so fortunate as to succeed
in gaining her affections, my first wishes
may not be frustrated by your disapproba-
tion. have thought proper to make this
application TO you on the subject in this
manner, rather than In person, because my
character (if | had acquired any, my cOndi-
tiOn and my situation in life, are not alto
gether unknown to you, and II objections are
made they can be more freely communicated
In this than any other way. l have hitherto
proceeded no further with the lady than to
merely obtain permission to make this appli-
cation; and, sir, now pledge you the honor
Of gentleman that, In case you havo no OBJ
lection of an insuperable nature to the pro-
posed union, whatever may be the chagrin,
regret and modification which may feel on
the occasion, i will not disturb the quiet Of a
parent extremely solieitous, no doubt, for
the happiness Of beloved daughter, by per
sistiug any further with her."
Under date Of May IL, 1877, Gen. Cooper
responded:
although the application made by your
letter of this day was unexpected. yet my re-
Elections heretofore on the subject have pre-
pared me to answer: That however solicit
Gus | may be for the future respectability Of
my daughter, she is the only proper judge Of
the person best calculated 20 make her hap
py. Respect and impartiality ought TO be-
shown by me tO any gentleman that might
make his address TO my daughter, and / con-
ide in your eandor and Judgment"

The Marsnals Of France.
ILOndOn telegram


Ex-Marshal Bazaine had been ignominious-
ly struck off the rolls Of the French army, so
that his death still leaves France with only
two general officers who bear that highest Of
military titles, which Is proverbially sup
posed to be within the reach of the rawest
recruit who starts on his GREER Of arms with
the marShaPs baton In his knapsack. These
two officers are CaurObet and MacMahOn,
their colleague, Marshal Lebeuf, having. by
a rather strange coincidence, died only few
months before BaZaine. The rank OF mar
shall was instituted so far back as the year
1885. The first officer with the title was
Clement, who was Lord Of Metz and Argen-
tan, and purveyors Of the curiosities OF hist
ory have not been slow to point out that the
last soldiers who were promoted to the rank
Bazalne and Leb9uf-were both connected
with Metz and Argentan. Baxaine, for in
stance, was disgraced by reason Of his con-
duct at Metz, while Lebeuf died near ATgen-
tan. Since the time Of Clement there have
been 324 marshals OF France, 67 Of whom were
appointed during the present century. Few,
however, Of the French marshals have led
such stirring lives as those Of the first Nap0l-
con, who elevated twenty-five Of mis- chiettains
To the rank. His nephew, Napoleon I'LL, ap-
pointed 10 during the brilliant days Of the
Second Empire, when the sword once more
held sway. The families OF the most famous
OF the first Napoleon marsnals are still rep
resented in France. BernadOtte, prince OF
Monte Corvo, Is represented by the Swedish
royal family; the Princes Murat bear the title
of the brilliant cavalry commander; BeTthier's
descendant Is the Prince OtWagram; Lannes
is represented by the family Of MOntebellO,
Oudinot by the Duke Reggie; M0rtier, by the
Duke of Trevise and his brothers; Ney, by
