Seeding beeches are tender and often
suffer by frost in the spring, writes an
English authority, but beyond that The
tree is as hardy as any in the forest, ex-
cept on one point, namely, the bark.
The beech is essentially thin and ten
der barked tree, and the bark never.
even in extreme old age, assumes that
rough, corky condition common in most
other trees, but on the contrary always
remains smooth, glossy and very tender.
The bark is very liable to contract a GER
tain disease, which begins at first in
minute dark spots, presenting some
times the appearance of having received
the contents of fowling piece. The
spots multiply and spread all over the
surface, at times very slowly and at 9TH
ers rapidly. Excuses of cold, wet
weather during the season of growth APP
pear to be most productive of the dis
ease.

Discovery of the 1uoifer Match.

Like many other bright men the Eng
fish chemist who first made lucifer
match failed to profit by his invention.
The discoverer, Mr.. Isaac Holden, M.
P, has given this account of the affair:
SIN the morning used to get up at 4
o'clock in order to pursue my studies,
and I used at that time the flint and the
steel, in the use of which | found very
great inconvenience. Of course | knew,
as other chemists did, the explosive ma
terial that was necessary in order to
produce instantaneous light, but it was
very difficult to obtain a light on wood
by that explosive material, and the idea
occurred to me to put sulphur under the
explosive mixture. l did that, and
showed it in my next lecture on chenlis-
try, course of which / was delivering
at large academy.
"There was" added Mr.. Holden, ga
young man in the room whose father
was a chemist in London, and he i'm
mediately wrote to his father about it.
and shortly afterward lucifer matches
were issued to the world. believe that
was the first occasion that we had the
present lucifer match. | was urged to
go and take out a patent Immediately,
but ] thought it was so small - matter
and it cost me so little labor that I did
not think it proper to go and get pat
emit; otherwise have no doubt it would
have been very profitable"

The Potato Rot,

The potato rot fungus attacks both
the foliage and the tuber of the plants,
causing in the one case what is called
blight of the vines, and in the other
what is best known as potato rot The
first appearance on the leaves is seen in
yellow spots and a powdery substance
on their surface. These spots soon turn
brown, and finally the whole plant be-
comes infected and dies. If the leaf
spines come in contact with the tubers,
or if the fungus reaches them through
the stems, rotting of the tubers ensues,
provided there is continuance of
warm, moist weather, which seems to
be condition attending the prevalence
of the disease. In seasons when the at
mosphere is cool the tops are not at
tackled, and if the soil remains cool the
tubers will often escape when the tops
are destroyed.
Unfavorable climatic conditions of
course cannot be prevented, butit Should
be remembered that "a loose, light soil
does not promote the decay like one in

Late Turkeys.

A correspondent in the American
Agriculturist says concerning late tur-
keys: a.
= In the last fifteen years I have owned
several turkey hens that have, while
taking care of the first early brood, laid
eggs, and then Matched a second brood
toward the latter part of summer. I
think vigorous hens will often do SO if
allowed to sit early. It makes the young
turkeys rather late, but with good quar-
ters and good care they can be sold in
February, as they will then be five or
six months old and, taking into account
the higher prices to be obtained at that
season, will generally bring more than
the early ones marketed before the
Christmas holidays. If from lack Of
proper care they are not salable in Feb
ruary, they can be kept over, and make
plump, heavy birds for the early winter
market. Some of the heaviest and most
salable turkeys that have ever sent to
market have been such very late broods,
wintered over without extra care. Such
hens will always be in demand by every
buyer who wants Thanksgiving or
Christmas roast, you may be sure; and
the gobblers will not be overlooked.

Asparagus for Market.

Market gardeners appreciate the adj
vantages of rubber bands when bunch
ing asparagus for market. Professor
Greene, of the Ohio experiment station,
set the fashion, and a favorite way with
him last season was to slip rubber
band over an ordinary coffee cup, hold
ing it near the top of the cup. Then the
cup is filed with the asparagus to be
punched, thrusting the heads of the
shoots downward into the cup. When
the cup is full the rubber band is pulled
over the top of the cup upon the aspara-
gus, the bunch removed from the cup
and another band slipped over the bunch
near the tops. This makes bunch of
about the right size and leaves the top of
the bunch nicely rounded. All that re-
mains to be done is to square the butts
with sharp knife.

PASTURES.
Pastures Permane and Pastures in Ro-
tation-Pasture Grasses.

Pastures Permanent and Pastures in Ro-
tation-Pasture Grasses.
A farmer who thinks that in this coun-
try permanent pasture cannot be sus-
tanned except in certain favored locali-
ties, expresses himself as follows in The
Farm and Fireside:
There are natural pasture lands where
the grass never runs out, and in such
places fields may be set apart and
used for pasturing indefinitely. But
most of us cannot depend upon the nu-
tritious grasses retaining the mastery in
the fight against those plants we call
weeds, and so we must adapt our sys-
tenn of farming to bring the pastures
into the crop rotation; either this or to
seed down field for pasture and then
pillow and reseed when it fails to be
profitable for that purpose.
The number of grasses that we can
depend upon for pasture are few, but
two or three of them are very good,
namely, Kentucky blue grass, redtop
and orchard grass. These three may be
sown and timothy and red clover at the
same time, the two latter disappearing
in few years. The ground should be
heavily seeded, SO as to give good
stand at once, and if it be seeded early
in the fall it can be pastured the next
spring, but if seeded in the spring it
could not be used for heavy stock until
late in the season. When pastures are
made from meadows the kinds of seed
yya will h<., l.
because the kinds named do not ripen
together, and while that is all right for
a pasture it is all wrong for a meadow.
But in seeding down for meadow to be
used eventually for pasture, we can
add Kentucky blue grass and redtop to
the generally sown timothy and red
clover; these two grasses will not make
much show in the meadow for two
years, and SO will not interfere with the
quality of the hay if it is to be sold, and
after the meadow has been cut the Sec
ond year it should then be pastured, and
will answer for that purpose for a
longer or shorter time, according to the
fertility of the soil and the climate in
which it is located.
There is this to be said in favor of
keeping field long in pasture, that the
fencing bills are reduced as compared
with those farms where the pasture field
is changed every few years, but good
wire fence can be taken down and be
put up again without much cost of time
and labor. In favor of the meadow sys-
tenn of supplying pasture, it may be said
that fewer acres will be required than
where a permanent pasture is had, for
the grass will grow ranker and make
much more feed to the acre; grass in old
pastures is much finer and shorter than
that in new meadows, the soil becoming
more compact and the grass not so thrifty
1t is claimed that this fine grass is more
nutritious than that of ranker growth in
the meadow, but ! have never noticed
that the cows did any better, if SO WELL
on old seeded fields as on new.

WALTER ouINToN eREsHAM.i
An Indianian Who Has Been Prominent
in Various Ways.

An Indianian Who Has Been Prominent
in Various Ways.
Hon. Walter Quinton Gresham, to
whom recent political movements have
called attention, has had the singular
experience of becoming eminent in sew
eral lines and still falling short of the
goal he had aimed for or the promotion
his friends had designed for him. Pow
erty, wounds and unexpected combina-
tions of events have in turn checked his
progress in college, the army, the cabi-
net and political life, yet he has attained
high rank among soldiers and states
men and is now held in the highest
esteem as judge.
He was born March II, 1882, near
GAINESVILLE, Harrison county, Ind. He
obtained very thorough common
school education and entered the state
university, but was only able to remain
there one year. He was admitted to the
bar in 1853 at Corydon, Ind, and became
a successful lawyer; was elected to the
legislature in 1860, and in August, 1861,
became lieutenant colonel of the Thirty
eighth Indiana infantry. The follow
ing December he was made colonel of
the Fifty-third Indiana and served for
two years in that rank, making an ex-
ceptionally brilliant record, especially
in the campaigns of 1868 in Mississippi

which water is held and the air enters
with difficulty. Deeply planted pota-
toes may escape, while tubers lightly
covered may more readily contract the
disease from the vines. AS rule pota-
toes should be dug as soon as the vines
show that they have been struck by the
rot. AS an applied preventive some of
the experiment stations have reported
favorably on spraying the vines three or
four times with bordeaux mixture. Used
at half strength and with paris green,
beginning with the appearance of the
potato bug, it may be made to serve two
purposes. Early planting and early
harvesting are also in the line of safety
against the potato rot.

at the grave or In Cincinnati The same
undertaken who had years before buried
the father met the party at the station,
and the casket was taken to his rooms
in Sixth street stable, while the gen.
eral with several cousins went to break
fast.
| was the only newspaper reporter
who had guessed the exact time of the
generals arrival, and boarded the train
at Loveland, an hours ride from Cincin-
natl, taking care to conceal the fact that
| was reporter. A morning paper man
was at the depot, but that did not en-
danger my story for an afternoon paper.
Together we were at once made pail
bearers for every part of the subsequent
ceremonies, and afterward the Grant
family and rival newspapers wondered
how such complete and graphic &C
count of the affair could have been Sc
cured. Inside the stable the casket was
opened to see if the embalmer had done
his work well.
1t was strange sight, the opening of
that small coffin containing the clay of
woman who gave birth to Americas
greatest general. Stable hands, assist
ants and the undertaken only were pres
emit. The resemblance of mother and
son could be easily traced in the dead
face and occasioned remark. Then the
body was taken to modest home ON
Clark street, Bishop Joyce of the Meth
odist church joined the cortege, and with
the reading Of the burial service and
prayer the mother of General Grant was
placed beside the husband. General
Grant was, as ever, cool, unmoved, and
with his sister on his arm held his hat
to one side of his head as the first clod
struck the coffin lid.
His sister Caroline, who never mar
ried, lies buried with father and mother.
She was Grants favorite sister, and died
just as he took command of the Army
of the Potomac. She was very fearful
in her last days that like his predeces-
sors he might fail, and her last and dying
words of him were, "Tell 'Lyss to never
give up and do his best to win." Her
dying prayers were answered, as history
tells. An elder brother of Grant died
in the far west years ago. His health
was bad and he undertook journey by
wagon to Minnesota. He died on the
way and was buried in some village
cemetery, and few if any of the family
know where. Uncle Sammy Simpson,
who survived his nephew and died aged
ninetytwo, is buried at Bantam, little
village of Clermont county, near the
scene of Grants boyhood. Orville Grant
lies buried at Galena.

Postmaster over Fifty Years.

Speaking of James H. Miller, post
master at Gauley Bridge, VIVA, a New
York paper says he was appointed by
President William Henry Harrison over
fifty years ago, and is probably the old
est postmaster in the country. He has
retained his Office through all the polati-
cal changes of the past half century, and
at the age of eighty-six years is as
prompt and efficient as any postmaster
In the state. During the late war Mr..
Miller's Office was several times within
the Confederate lines, but he was never
disturbed or annoyed in any way.
The Portland daily press., 1892-07-02

Aug. IL, 1868, he was commissioned
brigadier general, and while command
ing the Fourth division of General
Blairs corps before Atlanta h. ceived
a wound which disabled him for year,
ending his service. March 10, 1866, he
was brevetted major general for gal
lantry in the Atlanta campaign. He re-
sumed law practice, this time at New
Albany, Ind, and became Republican
leader, but the Democratic majority in
that region was too much for him and
he was defeated in the race for congress.
Again, in 1881, he was an unsuccessful
candidate for United States senator.
Meanwhile President Grant had in 1869
appointed him federal judge for the dis
trict of Indiana
In April, 1889, he was appointed post
master general in President Arthurs
cabinet, and in July, 1884, on the death
of Secretary Folger, he was transferred
to the secretaryship of the treasury.
Finally he was in October, 1884, APP
pointed United States judge for the
Seventh judicial circuit, which Office he
still holds. In the preliminary contest
before the Republican national conven-
ton of 1883 southern Indiana and most
of Illinois supported Judge Gresham for
the nomination for president, but Gen
eral Harrison secured the state delega-
ton. Judge Gresham has always been
quite independent in politics, but not
very successful.

PROFITS OF CORN GROWING.

The Experience of Different Cultivators
Gives Widely Different Results.
Some cultivators find that growing corn
scarcely pays expenses, while others re-
gard it as one of the most profitable
farm crops. Those who are the most
successful and who make the most money
by it are not satisfied with less than sixty
shelled bushels to the acre, while more
frequently seventy-fve is the standard
quantity. Thirty bushels to the acre
would give rather scant returns for much
profit. AS manure is an essential for
success, the wide variation in the price
and quality would make material diff
ference in the cost of the crop. A well
drained, mellow soil would be more
cheaply worked than a hard and stony
one, and the best labor saving nipple
ments would reduce the hard work done
by hand. A vast difference would occur
between timely horse hoeing and neg
Letting cultivation a few days, or long
enough to give dense growth of weeds
increasing the work tenfold and smooth
ering the young plants. The greatest
contrast would occur between such neg
lected treatment and the timely use of
the smoothing harrow, which by passing
broadcast and rapidly over the. whole
field every five days, would keep the land
continually clean and mellow, and i'm.
part great vigor to the young crop. Esti-
mates of the value and profits of good
crop will greatly vary, but the following
may be taken as fair one, says Country
Gentleman, authority for the foregoing:
AS manure is all essential, 20 good loads
would be necessary, costing, when deliv-
cred and spread, 50 cents each. $40

Nearly the same expenses would be
required for only thirty bushels, unless
in entirely emitting the manure, in
which case the cost would be only seven
teen dollars; and the crop, worth fifteen
dollars, would leave negative profit of
two dollars. Hence it will be seen that
good or heavy crops are the only profit
able ones R11t every farmer will r,aLa
