Farmers are incliccd Vo coosidrr "scientific agriculture, as soinethioir onlj taught in book. theoreUcal in a great degree : bat that ic not ao, a Ecience is nothing but Icnorchije, skilled knowledge. Now, farmers will, perhaps, be a little surprised when I tell tbem that every one of them, who is skilled in farming m who keep their farms in good conot tion, Lave good feme, Huw aud plant at the right time, cultivate will, etc., are all scientific farmers. 'But the men who studv scientific agricul ture in colleges, and graduate a Pro fessors of this science, without a thorough practice of farming, are not scientific farmers, although tbej gen erally claim that title exclusively. No man can say that he I notn that the application "of certain fertilizers to certain crops is particularly beneficial, unless he has had a positive Radic al knowledge of the alleged fact The reading that such application produces good results, even in the writings of a hundred men, is not proof that such is a fact. One may presume that it is proof, and that is as far as he can go ; but, for instance, when a man applies potash to a cer tain crop for years, and sometimes omits to put it on a part of the field to show tie results, and be Cuds that where no potash is applied the crop is much less than wbero it is applied, be Inoui that it is beneficial; and, consequently, he is a scientific farmer, 60 far as the application of potash to one, or more, crops is concerned. So, if he shall become an expert in every branch of farming, by obtaining knowledge from books, papers, or otherwise, or what is supposed to b knowledge, and finds it to be true or false by a practical test, he becomes a scientific farmer in toe run sense or r . 1 - . TV ;,t. Ij ' tDeauiug i tuw ia.-iua. amo iui -prevalent that a youog man may be cent to an agricultural college, and af ter studying agricultural chemistry a year or two, and being taken out up on the farm occasionally to see crops growing, and the application of fer tilizers, that Le becomes a scientific farmer I That is not so, because be larks the thorough practical training work with his own hands to make a real scientific agriculturist; but wLat be learn? at College in the ory is a great advantage to him. My advice to such young mm, if they desire to become farmers, is to hire out for a couple of year to a thor ough, practical farmer, and irorL your way to the title, "scientific farmer," which yon will never justly have un less you obtain it by practice on a farm. CLOVEE AS A FERTILIZER. When the world was made, its Maker foresaw certain conditions of things that the human mind could bave never penetrated, one of which was that the soil could not forever continue to yield large, paying crops without manure, or a fertilizer of some kind that animal manure would not be abundant enough to keep lands in a good state of fertility, as the population became dense ; and, consequently, clorer was given to us as a cheap aud valuable fertilizer, "without money and without price," which is literally true, because it pays for the seed sown and labor in the first crop of hay, and the second crop may be plowed under, which will fer tilize the land equal to $15 or $20 worth of stable dung to the acre. There is no mistake about this alleg ed fact in the least; and I am inclined to think that if stable dung did not exist, nor any kind of commercial fer tilizers, farmers could continue their business profitably by using clover as a green manure. Of course the pric es of crops would be ruled by the supply ; but in the end they would, probably, be as prosperous as they now are. Clover will flourish on poor soil, as it derives a large portion of nutriment from the atmosphere : and when a farmer obtains a good "catch" be is sure of a good crop, which ought not to be pastured any the first season. The second season it should be cut for hay, that is, the first crop, and the second crop of that ecason may be turned under in the fall with good results as a fertilizer. For plowing under sow the large var iety of clover. A buphel or two of plaster to the acre early in the spring will increase the crop considerably. THE FESCE QVESTIOX. Sooner or later the farmers of the United States must adopt hedges for fences, as the cost of all the fences in this country is estimated by good au thorities to be about $1,800,000,000, or $45 a bead for each inhabitant, old or young; and it costs $100,000, 000 annually to keep tbem in repair. Recently, Major Brisbane of the Uni ted States army compiled statistics in regard to the annual destruction of timber in the nation, from which it appears that the consumption requir es about 5,500,000 acres every year, lie puts the requirements for fencing purposes at about one-half of this vast amount, which we think is too high ; but it is nevertheless immense, and not withstanding the gradual in crease of tree planting for future use, it is certain that a radical change in our fence system is absolutely neces sary, or two generations hence the country will be practically without fences. The kinds of hedges most grown are the buckthorn and barberry for the North, and the Osage orange for the Sontb. In regard to the bar berry, the Wallingford Circular 6a vs. "We have a barberry hedge on onr grounds 25 rods long, and nine years old, from the seed. Two rows of plants were set, the rows one foot apart, and the plants one foot apart in the row, and set alternately, to break joints. This hedge has been clipped a little, two or three times, to keep it even, and is now six or seven feet high, with a firm, con-pact baso, per fectly impervioos to the smaller ani mals, and stout enough to turn ordi nary farm stock, except for a short distance at one end where the sou is quite thin." A pound of barberry, or buckthorn seed, costing one dollar, will produce plants enough for 100 rods or fence. FAILl'RK OF GRAPES AT TUE WEST. A well known horticulturist of Ohio writes : "In many parts of the West and Southwest there have been very discouraging failures of nearly all the desirable kinds of grapes the past two years, tven the Concord, that was thought to be everywhere renaoie, nas entirely failed in many localities. At a meeting of the Montgomery County, O., Horticul tural Society, Mr. N. Ohmer 6tated that bis Concord vineyard bad failed entirely, two years in succession, and be did not feel like waiting for a third, but had concluded to grub out the vines, and plant something more profitable in their place. lie believed the Concord vines wonld do well while young, bot as they grow old, they fail At a previous meeting of the society, Mr. Kramer, who is the most extensive grape-grower in that region, elated that the grape crop was almost an entire failure. From liarrrsnf Catawba vines he did not have a ton of sound grapes. M st of the Concord were also ruin ed hy the rot. lie cut 2,500 pounds of Ives' Seedling from about three acres. Taylor's Bullit had done well growing among Catawbas that rot ted. Norton's Virginia was also good thete are both wine qrapes. be had tried quite a number of Rog er's Hybrids, but found them of no use except when grown against a wall or building. He saw young vineyard? of Concord doing well. I bave had similar reports respecting the failures of Concord and other grapes, from correspondents in difler cLtpartaof Central and Southern niilniRil Indian In rerard to what causes the rot, this question has baf- a i t. :,-.. i-,,,a mm mnrh ag uea uoriiL-uitui ibis iiuiwo, that of the pear blight, and the the ories respecting it are nearly as nu merous and conflicting. We need more extended and careful observa tion of facts on which to base our con-, elusions. It has been noticed fori many years that heavy rains in the month of June are quite sure to be followed by a visitation of grape rot in July and August It is not clear, however, that excess of moisture at the roots is the cause of the disease of the fruit ; and if this were the chief cause, it is difficult to see why j it is that the disease should be more prevalent of late years than formerly, and worse on old vines than young. Some of our scientists are of Ibe-opin-jon that the rot is caused by a fungus, like tto mildew the spores of which are absorbed by the leaves or the roots of the vine, and carried by the sap into the fruit, where they develop their raischief. FBCIT "IU'TTEB," The sale of fruit "batter" in all large cities is very large. It is put up in wooden pails, with close-fitting covers, and pails d1 batter are sold together. The "American urocer, publi.red in Xew York.eays; "Fruit butter may be made in the country very easily and cheaply. The same purpose that sugar subserves in the manufactories uere may ue r nlished l.v the use of cider. When apples are ripe, make say three bar rels of cider."

Opea-Rack Shirt. Ther were a Meepy lot oc the four o'clock car going down Michigan avenue yesterday, lbe any was hot, the dust thick, and only oue man, and be beyond the prime of life, open ed his eyes as a woman crowded in, with a long, paper-box under ner arm. ilis eyes openeu a iuu mum as ble rat down near him, and pres ently they widened to their fullest extent as he read the label on the boi; "One dozen open-backed shjrts." He glanced from the box to tne fe male and back, and groaned out; "Land o' love! but what will come next ?" She looked around at him as if she feared that a case of colic would be next, and be brightened up a little and said : "Well. I've worn 'em for a year, and I know they are bandy and reli able. If my daughters want to get balf-a-dozen apiece I shan't cry ore? it" "Were yon speaking to me r" she asked, after soeing that bo one else seemed interested. "I sorter was, and sorter wasn't," be replied, as he worked a faint smile to his face. "I was saying that it's wonderful bow much the inven tive genius of this country has don; for us on the shirt question." She hitched away a little. "Twenty years ngo." ho mused, as be bitched after her, "if any man had told me that tho dormant genius of this country would soon rouse up and invent a button-behind shirt I'd have looked upon him as crazy. But dormant genius is all O. K. She roused, she invented, and I've got one of tbem very shirts on." The look she gave bini ought to bave torn hici all to pieces, but it didu't. "One year a"o," be calmly rcsura- ei, ' if anybody bad told me that the gentler sex would soon demand open backed shirts. I'd have gone a fishing and never returned. But the epoch has hove in sight she's right here. I can recommend them as boss." "Who are you talking to sir f" she demanded in an awful voice. "To you, madam. I was saying that if I wear 'em there is no reason why you shouldn't." "I appeal to these passengers!" che excitedly exclaimed. "So do I," be answered. "Every body in this car, with a button-behind shirt on, will please 6tand up until I count noses." The old man stood up. ne was all alone. He looked around in a sor rowful way, and said : "The n nfes bave it, and the resolu tion i UiU on the table.

WHeh side of the neck do tbev butUH on, madam f" The veil that followed brought in thediivcr. The old man was point ed out as a drunkard and a woman-in. goiter, and the driver was feeling for bis neck when the astonished man cried out : "Who's drunk ? Who insulted any body?" "He kept talking about shirts!" screamed the woman with the shirt box. "And yon've got a box. full!" shouted the man. ' '' "I hain't ne !" She turned up the box, and saw the label for the first time. She grew red, then white, and there was an awful silence. Ripping off the cover, she exposed a bolt of mosquito net ting nestled away in the box. Nay, she held it np, and even shook it at the old roan. He smiled softly, nod ded his head a dozen times and bland ly said : "Correct, madam I tumble to it That doesn't look liKe a dozen button behind shirts, and I'm grieved if I offended. Put it back, madam, forget tnat yon ever saw me, and wear any kind you are a mind to !" Detroit Free Pres. "That's our family tree," said an Arsansaa yontn as ne pointed to a vigorous hemlock, and added, "A good many of cur folks bave been hung on that tree, for borrerin' horses after dark." BMTlH DKk. It is well known that a bully is al wavs a coward. This doctrine is ear ly distilled into the mind of tho small boy by bis mother, bis Sunday school teacher, and other persona of equal familiarity with the habit and cus toms of bullies. As the small boy grows np be never bas a doubt that litr man with a roaeh voice and a bullying manner is a coward. All literature, whether of the juvenile or the adult variety, agrees upon this point The Sunday school story and the dime novel teem with large and cowardly boys, who are put to flight by courageous little fellows half their size, who simply threaten tbem witn a determined loot Xo less an au thority than Dr. Holland himself shows bow one bra.e young man with holy motives is always more than a match for at least three bully ing, and conseqnently cowardly ruf fians. The following little narrative concerning a large Californian bully and a consumptive theological stu dent need, therefore, surprise no one who has thoroughly learned the great lesson that Xatnre in order to p'e serve the balance of things, serves ont full rations of courage to small men, and gives large men onlj a very small proportion of that precious commodity. Roaring Dick had been tbe despot of Blue Dog from tbe day that he first entered that prosperous mining town. He was more than six feet high and weighed ftlly 200 pounds. Apparently ho consisted exclusively of bones, muscles, and an interior tank of huge dimensions for the stow age of whisky. Dressed in tbe pic turesque costume of 'the miner, which consists mainly of red shirt and boots, and tearing a long grizzled beard, he naturally awakened universal ad miration, and when to this ground work of dress he added a belt con taining two revolvers and a large bowie knife, admiration vz? eclipsed by awe. When be strode into the Imperial saloon and struck bis fist on the counter, the barkeeper smilingly handed him tbe botuo and never dreamed of hinting at pay. Refresh ed with s full tumbler, Roariog Dick would lazily loan against the counter and survey the inmates of the saloon. Occasionally he would ask in a deep rich voice, "Is there any coyote here who wants to have bis ears cut off ?" but no, a soul would answer the po lite Invitation. With one exception tbe whole town of blue Dog was cowed by tie man's terrible reputa tion. It was said that he bad killed thirty. seven different men, and that he cairied in oae of his pockets ibir-ty-scven front tcetb, it beinr bis charming custom to always knock out a front tooth of every new corpse of his own killing. Oa at least oue occasion ho ordered every mac in Elup pog to remain within doors during a certain day, under pain of death, and wbea the eppoipted day arrived he patroled tbe streets with bis repeating rifle without finding even a bead visible at a window. Tbe only man who was not confess edly afraid of Roaring Dick was pincburst, the gambler. This man's pale faca never blanched at the sight of tbe terrible bnly, nor did the deep color of bis Roman nose p?er fade in the face of any peril. Pineburstwas extremely gontlemauly and profane, and was known to be a dead shot with the revolver, although be rarely bad occasion to display bis skill. Whenever Roaring Dick accidentally came into Pinehurst's presence the latter would stealthily glide away, lest he should be tempted to engago in a charge shooting match. Thus tbe bully and tba ganjblfr never came in conflict, and the former was pareful never to enter tbe latter's elegant banking house. One day there came to Blue Dog a thin, delicate young man, dressed in black clothing, carrying a valise full of traoU. Ue could not bave been more than twenty-two years old and be was evidently so far advanced in consumption that bis presumption in coming to die in California was at Erct resented as a deliberate insult to tbe nneqaaied climate of that glori ous State. XevertDeleis. be soon ginH first the pity then tbe regard of tb rough miners of Blue Dog. He would enter their cabins and beg them to accept a few tracts and he would walk into the crowded saloons and press tracts upon every drunken man present He even visited l'iuc bu rat's bank, and interrupted the proprietor while dealing by placing a tract entitled ' Beware of the Cards" npon the "lay out." Xo one was an gry, lbe patrons or tbe bank mere ly laughed, and Pioeburst, remark ing, "Vou will find a square meal in the next room, Mr. Simpkins." pro ceeded to turn up the winning card, and swept in all the check on tbe ta ble. Mr. Simpklns bad been in Blue Dog for a w bole week, and bad dis tributed tracts to that extent that the whole landscape blossomed with them, before fortune brought bira face to face with Roariog Dick. On the evenijg of tho eighth day afier bis arrival, be entered the Imnerial saloon, at about 9 o'clock, and to his surprise round the place profoundly silent Roaring Dick was leaning in bis favorite attitude against tbe coun ter, and had just announced his read iness to out any man into fine slices who fel. desirous to undergo that pleasing procefs. Apparently be bad been drinking more than usual, for be seemed particularly bloodthirs ty. Mr. Simpkins had hardly enter ed the saloon when the bully remark ed, in a pathetic yoice, that he really must kill somebody. "I bavn't killed a man in ten days, barring some Obi namen," said Roaring Dick, "and I can't sleep well without blood. I ain't particular who it is ; I'd jest as soon lay one of these yere coyotes as another ; but I put it to you as white men, if such you be, whether some body oughtn't to rile me little just out of Christian charity." What was tbo astonishment of the miners to bear Mr. Simpkins calmly reply that if tbe big drnnken fellow leaning on tbe -counter wanted to fight, be was prepared to further his tiews. For a moment Roariog Dick was absolutely stupefied. Could ho believe his ears ? Did this sick boy, armed with nothing but a handful of tracts, actually venture to speak to the terror of Calaveras county 1 The thing was so absurd that the giant positively laughed, and be said, "Yon don't appear to know me, sonny." . Tale bnt determined, the young missionary quieuy sata mat be anew the bully perfectly well. "I kuow you mucb better than tbese men do," be added. "They know yon to be a bul- ly, but I know you to be a coward. All bullies are cowards, and I mean to prove that jou are not an exception to tbe rule." In spite of this iu6ult. the bully restrained his thirst for blood. He said that be did not want to kill children ; that Mr. Simpkins aiant reaiiy need any killing, since he bad plainly died some years ago, and bad deserted from the church yard, where he belonged. This eva sive language could not shake Mr. Simnkins' determination. He per sisted in challenging Roaring Dick to a deadly combat, nod finally deliber ately took that dreadful ruffian by tbe ear and led bira toward the door. Tbe spectacle was a sublime ono. Utre was a mere lad, a hopolcss in valid, actually turaiug lbe terror of tbe county out into the street ! Tbe eowed miners regained their courage. Tbey spring to their feet, cheered wildly for the gallant Simpkins, and hurled insults at the bully. Sudden ly that individual paused, and re marked, "This byer foolishness has gone far enough." He picked up the unfortunate Simpkins, tore him to pieces, throw the fragments iu the face of bis rcvilurs, and then drawing a revolver with each hand, opened fire with such celerity and deadly aim, that in a few seconds nine corpses lay on the floor, and not a living per son save Roaring Dick stood in tbe saloon. Outside the stars shone se rene and beautiful in the unequaled California sky. The watch dog bay ed in tbe distance at some wandering cat Tbe night wind sighed among the clothes lines in tbe Chinese quar ter. Ijslde tbe saloon, nine dead men, exclusive of the fragments, of Mr. Simpkins, would, perhaps, have cried for vengeance, had tbey not been corpses : though, to be sure, in that case they would not have want ed vengeance. There seems to ba something wrong about this story. The bully ought to have been cowed by lbe 'it tie man, and the latter ought to have demoostiatcd that bis big antagonist was a coward. But we cannot bave all things to please us. After all, what is a fact, that it should stand in tbe way of a theory ? We know that all bullies are cowards, and we can afford to ignore the unwillingness of Roaring Dick of Calaveras to illus trate that theory in bis own person. N. Y. Time. The Orphan' Pourt, says the Pitts burgh Jdeiirauh. will have before it SQon a decidedly interesting and un usual question to decide, it occurs in this way : Nearly ten years ago Miss Louisa Simpson, a maiden lady of this oil v. died, leavim considora ble property, which she disposed of by a will dated Alarcn I j, isua. ane was very fonu of pets, and possessed at ber death savcral horses, dogs and other domestic animals, tbe caro of which she was very solicitous about, and she gave in Lor will very explic it directions about tho care of them after her death. She directed that one of her horses grown too old to en iov this life, be shot, and othe' ani mals wero distributed among ber friends with the uirectiqns aoooni panying each bequest, that they be taeu good care ot. Among otucr instructions (ot thp cere of her pets she directed that fifty centa a week be appropriated to feed ber three dogs, and ste Instructed the executors to set aside ao ampqqt the Iqterost of which wag to bo applied to this pur pose. They accordingly deposited in oue of the city savings banks $433 33, tbo interest on which, at six per cent, bringing the necessary in come to support in sumptouB style the trio of highly famed canines. Tbesp instrtje'-ioas were easily com plied with until ijuito reoqtly, when one of the dogs as dogs sometimes will died (intestate, as is supposed) and now tbo executors are in a quan dary. Tbey want to know what the result of the death of one of tbe leg atees will be whether the annuity is to be divided among tho survivors, or whether tlje amount set asjde is to be reduced 30 tat eapn of tpp two survivors will recpiye tbe same amount as before. It is needless to say that tbe dogs them selves are in favor of the Grst named arrangement, and the law seems to be on their side. Tbe Talea Taila Tell. There Is a good deal of expression in tails. A cat when excited has her tail bent towards the ground and quiet ; but when tbe animal is under lively emotion, the tail shows move ments which are not of chance char after, but preietpripiued by pature such and suph an emotion pausing such and such a movement When tbe oat fpels afraid, whea seized for example by tbe neck, lao tail goes down between her legs. Cn sight of an agreeable morsel of meat, tbe tail is raised straight up. When angry the cat bends ber tail into two curves of oppos'.to directions the greiter curve at the base, the lesser at tbe extremity while the fur is erect throughout, u ben on lbe alert for prey, she lushes ber tail from side to side. On the other band tbe dog wags his tail from side to side to tes tify juy; while (as with thecal) fear nas u between bis legs. We all are familiar, again, with the comical appearance of a herd of cattle, driv en to despair by insects, rushing about a field on a hot day with their tufted tails erect as posts'. Dr. John Brown, in oue of his racy sketches, tells of a dog whose tail bad a pecu liar kind of expressiveness. This tail of Toby's was "a tail per se ; it was of immense girt, and not short equal throughout like a polk-enian's baton ; the machinery for working it was of great power, and acted in a way, as far as I bave been able to discover, qo'r.e original. Wo called it bis ruler. When he wished to get in tbe hooso, be first whined gently, tben growled, then gave a sharp bark, and then came a resounding mighty stroke, which shook the boose. This, after mucb study and watching, we found was done by his bringing the entire length of his solid tail flat npon toe door wlih a sudden and vig orous stroke. It was quite a coun de force or a coup de queue, and he was perfect with it at once, bis first Dang authoritative having been as master ly and telling as bis last" A Batch f Wkji.

' The Aoirosta (Maine) Journal tells it again in this shape: "A young man from the country took bis sweetheart to the circus in Hallowell on Wednesday. After viewing with open mouth the won ders ot the menagerie, and making many comments on the ferocity of the "graveyard robbers," and tbe huge elephants, tbe two proceeded Xi the main tent and soon were oblivions to all sa ve the wonderful feats perform ed by noble sons and daughters of the ring.

When tbe glasses were emptied he returned tbem and thanked tbe young man for his kindness, when to bis horror ha was informed that tbe price of the three glasses of lemonade was thirty cents. He bad come un prepared for any sucb drain upon bis pocket book, and, after fumbling in bis pocket for some time, he brought to light a small amount of nickel and banded tbem to tbe vender of lemon juice, saying: "Here are twenty-six cents, which is all I have, and you will have to wait for the other f ur cents until your show comei this way again." 1 lie Arab' Preor.
