SCIENTIFIC FARMINiS.

unless he has had a positive Radic

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

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,

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

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

of Ives' Seedling from about three
acres. Taylor's Bullit had done well

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

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.

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

"A young man from the country

merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing tlso can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
