Break Your Glover Sod in the Fall
For the Breeder's Guide.


For the Breeder's Guide.
I am more and more convinced every
year that it is mistake to break clover
in the spring. Last year I had field
that had been in clover two years.
was always opposed to breaking clover
in the spring but last year I allowed
the field to lay over and had it broken
this last spring. The result is that the
grub worms have literally taken part
oft. One land in the field was broken
real early in March when the weather
took such nice squirt and that part is
not injured great deal, but the por-
tion that was broken late was injured O
very great deal; in fact utterly destroyed.
This is the case universally with clover
fields that were broken in the spring.
Another field on which hogs had been
fed until late in the season was sOwn to
oats and broken very early. This is
not injured; what would have been the
fate of the corn if it had been planted
there cannot be told. l am very we'll
satisfied that an open winter like the
one last past favors grub and cut worms,
and all sods to be turned under should
be plowed late in the fall or at any time
during such winter or early spring
that it can be done. This year the crop
of clover seed promises to ripen early,
in which event / shall turn my clover
under and SOW the field to wheat.

The people of the country heard just
enough of the tariffin the last campaign
to get them. muddled on the subject
but this year they are taking interest
in it, and you can give them all the tar
iff you want to. So, taking the national
issue and the State issue, and the jeal-
ousies in the Republican party, and the
trouble they are having in Cincinnati
the little fights, &c.,-all these things
together-it makes a pretty fair out
look. OF course no man can prophesy
exactly what the result will be; but
everything, from the way it starts out,
points to big victory for the Demo
cratic party. And Democrat who
wouldn't get up before daylight and
walk ten miles to vote against Foraker
ought to be turned out of the party.

A Heated Hay Now.

When the NOW is found to be heating
some recommend making deep holes
near together in the NOV, by thrustina
a sharpened pole from the top down
ward and putting a few handfuls of sal
into each cavity. The safest however
is to remove the hay to some scaffold
that will bring it to the air, and the soon.
er it is done the better. If there is not
barn room to put it on scaffold, pitch
it into the rack and stack it out of doors
few days if the weather is dry. If the
stack is we'll made and the top covered
with hay caps it will stand heavy rain
storms with but little injury. After
remaining in the stack few days il
can be returned to the NOW again
when the sun is shining, and will give
no further trouble.

COMMITTED" that is, one may "prove up''
by paying the government price, in fact,
making pre- -emption of it. One person can
obtain 4S0 acres of government land-16C
as pre-emption, 160 as homestead and 1GC
as tree claim-and become Gland poor''
easily and at slight expense.
The structures known all over the west as
"caim shanties" are very primitive. Ag1eat
part of their number are of sod, some are
"iug- outs" (not dig-outs as some unin.
formed eastern writer's persist in termine
them,) some half dug-outs and some ot
boards. These houses are generally of but
one room, possibly 12x14. Sometimes they
consist of three rooms, but these are inhab-
tied by the aristocracy, while quite frequent
ly claim shanties of two rooms are found,
especially on homesteads. The most COM
Portable are those built of sod, for their thick
render them warm, in winter and cool in sum-
mer.
| Dug outs or half dug-outs are not as COM
Portable, though they are more so than mere
board houses built entirely above ground, ex.
cept IN the heavy rain storms which visit the
prairies every summer, and during which
they are liable to fill with water.
Many swindles upon the government have
been perpetrated by claim holders in time
past, especially in the matter of improve
ments and in actual residence. For instance,
some have dug small hole or cave in the
side of bank, made board door and set it
up ia front, stuck single joint of stove pipe
in the ground above the hole, brought some
ashes and emptied them near by, and then
have "proVed up'' without ever having lived

ATLANTA, Ga, December 24.--The death of Henry W. Grady took place at 3 40 yes- terday morning. All night there were anx- ions watchers about his couch. At o'clock there had been no change and some of tho watchers left. Shortly after II o'clock his physicians announced that Mir. Grady was sinking rapidly, and his friends, who had left but a few hours before, were hastily summoned. Among those who came were Capt. E. P. Howell Mir. W. A. Hemphill, Mir S. NJ. Inman, Mayor Glenn, Judge Newman, Maj. Riser, Capt. J. K. While, Mir. W. B. Lowe, Mir W. L. Peel, MT. T. D. Meader and Mir Donald Ban. Mrs. Grady wished that those who loved him should take last look before the angel of death came. One by one they looked upon that face which they loved so well, and could not realize that already the shadow of death had settled upon it. About month ago Mir. Grady was attacked with vertigo while standing at his residence. He had complained of not feeling well ever since, and about two weeks ago he was confined to his room, but got up out of q sick bed to at tend a Masonic banquet, where he deliv- cred short address. In that speech he re. ferrcd to his health and said that while tho fever was pulsing through his veins ho thought of his boyhood days and could see the white pigeons fluttering in the air and hear tho music of the birds.
 There was sadness about his words which impressed many, and there seemed to be presentimcnt that death was draw ing near. He went to Boston against the advice of his physician, as he was threat eued with pneumonia. In Boston and other places he visited he greatly exposed him. self, and on Thursday night he contracted anew cold when delivering his Boston speech. Friday night he was seized with a chill, and he realized for the first time that he was seriously sick. He was attended by Dr. Goldthwaite, in New York. and acting under his advice returned to Atlanta. Dr. Goldthwaitc stated that hc thought all danger of pneumonia past. On the journey home Mir. Grady was Respondent and suf- fering from a nervous depression. Fl am going to be seriously sick, know he said to all who inquired about his health. Hc complained of nausea and weakness and refused to take food. On Thursday his son spoke to him, and told of something to he done when he got well "Iour father will never get well, my boy" was the answer \ movement has already been iuaugnrated for the erection of monument 10 Mir. Grady. Tho funeral, which win take place on Wednesday, will bo attended by delegations from all over the South.

 A dispatch from Senor Barosa, the Bra zilian Minister, declares that the origin ators of the revolution are all against tho rc-establishment of slavery, and that no planters approving of slavery had any part in the revolution. There are, he says, no military ambitions or aspirations in tho movement, which aims only to secure civil liberty and the reform of tho administra- tion,
