IMPROVING rATl"B IASI.'
At tbe meeting of the Dairymen's
Contention at CleTeland, Ohio, the
enbject cf improTinjr old, worn out
pasture lands was discassed ; and tbe
general conclusion was, that thej
most be plowed, and seeded to a ?ar
itj of praxes, or tbe dairy business
in that Stale would be mined for the
want of good pastures. A member
said list most of tbem were fast de
clining in productiveness bo that
without a radical change on the part
of the dairr farmers they would aoon
fail of support and the foundation of
this whole business wouia oe giving
away. He said tbe assessors' returns
of the dairr counties showed a de
cline in tbe productive capacity of
pasture lands amounting to one-tbird
or more, the past ten years ; and on
account of this decline dairy farming
was becoming unprofitable. Tbe
lands were originally quite fertile.
but not deep, and tbe vegetable mat
ter at tbe surface bad been all ex
hausted ; and no plowing or means of
restoration being used, toe ciay sow
had become very compact from tread
inr while wet. and the grasses killed
out by constant feeding off or over
stocking then worthless weeds came
in and tbe old pastures wcuia nave
to be broken up and enriched in some
wsy, and when seeded down, a mix
ture of grasses should be used, in ac
cordance with tbe English plan,
though be would not recommend
using as many varieties. Tbe following
be believed would be louna aaspiea
to most of tbe clay lands, and would
form a good mixture of dairy pasture.
Timothy, Red-top, Blue grass, Orch
ard pwa, Meadow Fescue and Ear-
linn lire grass. White clover might
be added with advantage, where it
is known to flourish. This condition
of old pastures is common to tbe
whole country east of Illinois, end
all require aboat the same treatment
rEEUINO HORSES.
A writer on this subject says:
For a period of over 30 years, more
or less, borses nave been onaer my
control. I personally superintended
tbe feeding. During this time no
horses have died, and I have had
little sickness. A straw cutter, with
rawhide roller, has been in continual
use till tbe present time. In tbe cat
ting of the food fcr two teams, enough
is saved in one year to pay for its
purchase. WLi'le the horses are eat
ing their dinner, enough can be cut
for tbe next meal ; then watered, to
moisten it and destroy the dust, and
with it four quarts of meal is ample
for each horse- Tbe meal is one-third
corn, one-third oats, and the oiber
shorts. A variety is made by giving
a few small potatoes or carrots, week
ly. The benefits resulting from this
manner of feeding are that we have
no sick horses, they being always in
good health and order ; there is no
danger of founder from hired men
feeding when too warm ; they can
eat it sooner, and are ready to go out:
neither is anything wasted by
throwing from the manger, Ac), and
it does them more good, I believe, as
no whole grain is passed and lost.
Being out of meal for a few days, a
number of feeds were given them of
small ears of corn, with plenty of cut
Lay, moistened. Two had to be taken
to the eity immediately for treatment;
of colic, and by prompt action at once,
they recovered. Tbia is the lest of
whole grain feed. Of course the
same good quality of bay and grain
is gireo when cut as whin they cut
it for themselves. j
ITILI?IN h'TIUW.
Tie following method of utilizing
straw is used : 1 have made it a
practice to cut my grain as early as
it would do to cut, asd to put it up
in shock in the field in good order, to
allow it to properly cure (for if cut
early or a little green, it should have
time to curs,) and then, as soon as it
will do, I haul it in and stack it on
mow, if possible, without rain. Then,
when threshed, I put the straw in
the mow, as I do tbe best bay.
Straw thus cut and cared for is bright
and clean. j
For the past six years I have fed,
from September to March, from six
to eight horses on straw and corn,
and, without one exception, they
have done well, and have not had
any more grain than when fed on
good hay, and no straw. I am so
well pleased with the result that I
would ratber hare good early cut,
well cared for wheat or oats straw
and corn for my horses than the best
of hay with either corn or oats. Bat
if tbe grain is allowed to stand until
dead ripe before cutting, and then
allowed to remain (as it often does)
in the field for weeks in the rain and
sun until bleached, and when thresh
ed, stacked ia tbe most careless man
ner so lat that it retains all of tbe
rain that falls on it for months it
will not make any better feed than
hay treated in tbe same way, which
I presume all will agree would be
very poor feed for any animal, and of
very little value on tbe compost
heap.
A PORTABLE FENCE.
t.very larmer at sometime needs a
portable fence, for enclosing hay
stack, or to divide a field temporarily,
and the following is a good one : 1
take three hewed or sawed sticks.
four or five feet ia length, placing one
at eacn end oi tbe boards that 1 am
about to use, and one in the centre,
fasten tbem down securely for a
platform. I then take four fourteen
feet boards, 6 inches wide (I prefer
that length to 12 or I C feet,) and lay
them on this platform, leaving spaces
between the boards of 7, 6 and 8
inches. I use three cross pieces, 4
feet long and 5 or 6 inches wide, se
curely nailed with annealed or
wrought nails, and clinched, placing
one at each end and one ia tbe centre.
Tbe bottom board will be 5 laches
from the ground, and the section
or panel will rest oa the three cross
pieces. When putting up .this fence,
I let it lap the width of the cross
pieces, aitd drive two stakes, on on
each aide of tbe panels, and fasten
with withes, or wire, aad I thea have
as good a fence as 1 want for turning
stock. bere a fence is needed only
for a short time, one stake is all that
is necessary. Two mea can draw
M 4 S
ana ouua nny roas oi ibis leace in a
day, and not work very hard at that
This fence can be made in a different
form where a man has plenty of short
pieces oi toar as, say s$ or 4 feet long,
by nailing tbem to two 2 by 4 Inch
mantling 11 feet long, leaving spaces
between the pickets or boards 3 inch
es wide. In localities where fencing
is scarce, and the farmer Las not the
means to fence his entire farm, this
kind of fencing is very Land-, as
fields that are occupied with grain
can be stripped of their fences, aad
good enclosures made lor the pastures,
and whenever other fields are wanted
for grazing, this fence can be easily
changed. In some States the grain
fields would need to be fenced, bat
bere where stock is not allowed to
fun at large in the Ugh way, it is oc
necessary to fence any fields except
the pastures.

Tbe "Rural Topics" will now be
discontinued, owing to my having
other business that will occupy my
entire time. It is now nearly two
years since I commenced their publi
cation, being subscribed ior oy over
100 naoers. in different parts of tbe
countrr. from tbe start The pub
lishers of these paoers will, undoubt
edly, regret to have them discontin
ued, as many have written , to me
that the farmers everywhere speak
very highly of tbem. Having been a
constant writer on rural affairs for
about fort v rears, and now having
engagements to write for some of
the best agricultural papers of tbe
country at more remunerative prices
than these "Rural Topics" afford, I
am admonished not to over-tax my
self with too much mental labor at
mj time of life.' -
T. B. Miser,
Ex-Editor of the Roral American.
Linden, X. J.
H Sr. tirwley Bfwif.
Mr. Greeley throughout life was
twitted with his slovenliness of per
son, and manr people were made to
believe that be incurred tbe risk tf
being sold for a bag of ancient rags
whenever he pas Bed into Ann street.
The fit and quality of bis clothes were
not what Crammont and d'Orsaj
would have commended, but be was
scrupulously neat BethDven himself
having no greater passion tor tbe
bath. His linen was very immacu
late ; his boots, though often coarse,
were well blscked, his face carefully
shaved, and his hands daintily kept
as those of a fine woman. His cra
vat bad a tendency, it is true, to as
sume tbe shape of a hangman's knot
and bis trowsers were often sugges
tive of required continuance ; but that
be was really slorenly was palpably
false. The idle tales that be disar
ranged his toilet before the looking
glass, and carefully squeezed his
pantaloons into the legs of his boots
before be appeared on the street were
purposely told to annoy him, and,
strange to say, tbey had tbe effect
intended. He was sensitive on the
subject of his dress, and seldom re
ceived advice thereupon with becom
ing equanimity. Oddly enough, be
beleived himself a well attired per
son, and that few men in bis station
went better clad. Satanical com
ments were wont to draw from bim
stinging replies.
When a eity editor of the Trihune
once suggested tbe reformation of his
neck-tie. Mr. Greeley answered:
"You don't like my dress, and I
don't like your deportment If you
have any improvements to make,
please begin at home."
James Watson Webb while editor
of the Courier and Enquirer, was
fond of criticising tbe costume of his
neighbor, who, referring 'x the fact
that Webb bad been sentenced to tbe
State Trison for fighting a duel with
Hon. Thomas Marshall, and pardon
ed out, made this extinguishing re
joinder :
"Assuredly, no costume in which
the editor of tbe Tribune has ever
appeared would create such a sensa
tion in Broadway as that which
James Watson Webb would hare
worn but for the clemency of Gover
nor Seward."
To another journalist, noted for
his on tidiness and his ridicule of Mr.
Greeley, the latter responded :
"If our mend, tbe , who wears
mourning for bis depraved gravity
under his finger nails, will agree to
surprise his system with a bath, we
may attempt a clean discussion with
him."
The illustrious editor was simply
careless of bis attire, although fas
tidiously neat He was always so
basy that when ne arose in tbe mor-
ming be put on tbe first be found and
sometimes he did not put it more
than half on. His clothes never
seemed to fit him, or he never seemed
to fit bis clothes. The wonder of
many of his acquaintance was where
he bought them or whether they did
not grow, so unique were their cut
and pattern.
Clotting, I repeat, was a tender
theme with him, and he displayed
his high breeding by never alluding
to what he wore. It is supposed be
got his garments ready made, and
to save time he took tbe first article
offered- I have been told his wife
was in tLe habit of purchasing them.
He was tbe one New Yorker of note
who repeatedly appeared in the street
in the morning in a dress coat But
be made ample atonement for this by
presenting himself up town at formal
dinners in a paletot, or some peculiar
garment that defied identification.
Whatever maybe thought of Mr.
Greeley's quaint raiment, he was ex
cellently dressed according to the
Brummel canon, because after being
with and listening to him, one could
not remember what he had on. He
could take away his clothes in the
briefest spaoe. From Harper't Mag
azine. In Campbell county, Va , on the
Roanoke River ('.hen called Staunton
River,) during the Revolutionary
War, when there were some Tories
of obnoxious character still remaining
in the country not reachable by any
statutory law, Col. Charles Lynch,
supported by Capt Robert Adams,
his brother-in-law, both farming on
adjoining plantations, and Cal
loway, determining to rid tbe coun
try of such dangerous enemies, seiz
ed on different occasions three of the
worst men, tied tbem to a tree and
flogged them so severely as to prompt
aa unceremonious departure from tbe
State, as they were ordered. This
sort of procedure on the part of
Lynch and his friends, proving so ae-
ceptaoie in lampbeu county, was
quickly followed in other counties.
where loyalty to King George some
times provoked summary punishment,
and it was called "Lynch law," and
has been to this day.
The snatch of an old song of the
time is still repeated in that neigh
borhood:
"Hrxah for Capt Bob, OoL Lynch mi Calloway:
Never let Tory rat till UU h erlet oat Liberty:

Lynch, was the founder .. of Lvnch

The death of Ting IX. coincides
curiously in point of time with the
impending occupation of Constanti
nople by a hostile Christian army, to
remind" the modern world, ia the
most impressive way, of the might,
majesty and dominion of that world
empire of Rome tbe shadow of which
still covers the earth. We are such
creatures of a day that few of us ev
er distinctly realize how brief the ca
reer of the greatest nation which now
exists has been in comparison with
that of the fabric welded together by
Republican Rome and extended
throughout tbe double empire, the
papacy and the sultanate, to include
in one form or another the whole de
velopment of civilized history through
twenty centuries. Tbe reign of Tius
IX., which ended Thursday, though
the longest in tbe papal annals, cov
ers little more than tbe lifetime of a
generation. But Giovanni Mastai
Ferretti was born in the year which
witnessed the overthrow of the
French monarchy, and with it the
feudal regime ot Europe; and tbe
years of his life nearly equal those of
the existence of the United States of
America. Great Britain stands ia
tbe front rank of nations to-day ; but
less than three centurjes have passed
since Great Britain came into being
by tbe anion of Scotland with Eng
land ; nor have five centuries elapsed
since the triumphs of Joan of Arc
and Charles the Victorious made it
finallr possible for France to consti
tute herself as a united state. Ger
many, to-day tbe strongest European
power, owes her position to the lead
ership of Truseia, and it ia bat a lit
tle over two hundred years since Po
land, then in the van of European af
fairs, was compelled to recognize
Prussia as an independent ducby,and
considerably less than two hundred
years since the great elector put the
kingly crown upon bis head. Aus
tria as now constituted nominally
dates back orly to tbe empire of "the
first Napoleon, and really dates back
only to tbe disaster of Sadowa, which
compelled the Uapsburgs to choose
between calling Hungary into tbe
front of things or disappearing lrom
the list of European dynasties. Rus
sia began in earnest the wonderful
march of empire which has brought
ber witbia sight of tbe gates of the
East a scant two centuries ago under
Peter the Great Ten years has not
yet passed since tbe first Italian
king mounted the throne cf an abso
lutely on'ted Italy in Rome. And
the great empire of tbe Ottoman
Turks, now breached in all its foun
dations and tottering to its fall, final
Iv became a force in Europe but a
little more than four centuries sgo,
and barely antedates the discovery of
this Y estern world.
But throughout all these years and
centuries, as for a thousand years be
fore, Rome and Byzantium, the seats
of the Western and the Eastern em
pire, have occupied tbe thoughts of
men and ceia meir imperial piacea iu
the history of our race. To-day the
minds of a vast majority of Christian
believers throughout tbe world bare
fixed with anxiety and expectation
upon the great palace of the Leonine
city ia which the successor of St Pe
ter lies in slate, and where the prin
cess of a church which has wielded a
power as mighty in its way as that
of the CiE3ars are to-day gathering to
choose a new head to wear tbe trip
le crown of tbe pontificate. To-day
the deadly peril of Stamboul, tbe cap
ital of tbe Mohammedan world, ia
arousing the passions of the follow
ers of tbe prophets in all parts of the
Old World. Alike m tbe constitution
of the papal church and of the Otto
man dominion, imperial Rome sur
vives, to effect tbe destinies of a hun
dred races, many of them known only
by name to the ancieqt masters of
mankind. In a little while we shall
know upon what manner of man the
pallium of the papacy is to be put,
and through what new con diets tbe
destiny oi Constantinople is to be de
termined. . In the new papal election
tbe capacity and tbe tendenciesof the
pontiff will be of more moment to the
church, now absolutely divorced from
the political aud material support of
any temporal power than tbey have
been any time before since tbe days
of Luther. The re-organization of
Eastern Europe after tbe virtual ex
clusion of Turkey from European af
fairs can only be accomplished
through an entirely new cycle of the
gravest political events. But it is
well to pause to-day at tbe opening
of these new and stirring chapters in
the history of our times,if but to con
template the colossal proportions of
the past, which alike on tbe Bospbo
rus and on tbe Tiber still erects
itself, and utters such solemn lessons
to all who in the midst of brief and
harrying age have ears to hear and
minds to weigh tbem. N. Y. World.

It is a curious fact that the United
States was tbe first natioa to force
an entrance through the closed straits
of tbe Dardanells. In lNOl Com mo
dore Cambridge, who had a secret
message to convey to tbe Sultan from
the Iey of Algiers, sailed from Al
giers for Constantinople in tbe Amer
ican frigate George Washington. As
be knew be would not be allowed to
pass up to tbe capital, be made show
of coming to anchor off the Castles of
tbe Dardanells, in the meanwhile
firing a heavy salute. As tbe wind
blew strong up the channel, under
cover of the smoke of bis own and
the reciprocated salute, he spread all
his canvass to the breeze. Before
the Turks could discover bis manaea-
vers be was out of range of their can
non, and speeding his way with socb
velocity tbat it was impossible to
overtake him. Wben he cast anchor
off the mouth of tbe Golden Horn,
and displayed tbe stars and stripes
great was the surprise and consterna
tion. He was supposed to be a pi
rate, aa tbe flag of tbe United States,
never having before been floated in
Turkish waters, was unknown
Having no knowledge of America,

Writing under this caption in
Scribxer for March, Dr. Holland
says :
At this present writing the much
talked of silver bill has not been pass
ed, a bill which practically provides
for the payment of the public debt at
tbe rate of a little more than ninety
cents on tbe dollar. Nothing bat the
most stupendous foolishness or the
wildest hallucination can prevent any
maa who is engaged in forwarding
this shocking business from seeing
that be is sapping the national credit,
tainting tbe national honor, inflicting
incalculable damage upon the busi
ness world, and convicting himself of
being a thief. It is profoundly hum
iliating to know that there are mea
enough in Congress who favor this
abominable scheme to make it doubt
ful whether it can be blocked by a
presidential veto. To find powerful
newspapers, powerful politicians, men
who regard themselves as statesmen,
whole sections of the country, carried
away by this madness nay, "ratber
bearing it boastfully, and insisting
that it is not only sound statesman
ship but the highest political honesty
is simply astounding. Words can
do no justice to tbe surprise and in
dignation of the honest patriotism of
tbe countrr in contemplating tbis
horrible lapse from the national
nity and honor.
There is one good result that
come of this business, and as it
dig-
will
will
come in tbe form of punishment to
those who have tampered with tbe
public credit, it will not be regretted
in any quarter tbat now lifts its voice
in protest There are states that can
never borrow any more money.
Perhaps it will be well for them that
they cannot, but it is quite possible
that they may see tbe time when
tbey will be glad for some purpose to
discount tbe future a little. Certainly,
tbe West and South will find it very
much harder to borrow money in the
future than tbey have in the past
Tbis tbey must expect, so far .as for
eign capital is concerned, for tbat
capital is very sensitive ; and if New
England or New York capital goes
West or South for investment, it can
only demand a ruinous rate of inter
est, for it can never know when its
claims may be repudiated altogether.
These states are all paying a higher
rate of interest than would be neces
sary if their credit were good. No
tbiag is better understood than tbe
fact tbat a good trustworthy security
can get money at half the rates tbat
tbe West and South bave been pay
ing for years. All sins of repudiation
go borne to roost, and jf this pountry
should be so base as to undertake to
pay its debts at ninety cents on tbe
dollar, it will be obliged to pay more
than it will gain by the proceeding
the next time it may undertake to
borrow money in tbe markets of the
world. Retribution for all wrongs of
this kind is as certain as tbe sun's
rising and setting.

Coffee culture is very Interesting,
and tbe growing crop is very beauti
fol. Tbe trees at maturity are from
Gve to eight feet high ; they are well
shaped and busby, with a glossy
dark-green foliage, and planted eight
or niue feet apart Tbe flowers are
in clusters at tbe root of tbe leaves,
and are small, but pure white and
very fragrant The fruit has a rich
color, and resembles a small cberrv
or large cranberry j it grows In dus
ters, close to tbe branches, and when
it becomes a deep red is ripe and
ready to be gathered. Tbe trees are
raised from seed, and do not begin to
yield until the third year. In Central
America tbey bear well for twelve or
fifteen years, although, in exceptional
cases, trees tn enty years old will
yield an abunuauoe of fruit Ibe
tree is particularly beautiful when ia
full bloom or wben laden with ripe
fruit
The process of preparing coffee for
market is as follows : tbe ripe berries
wben picked are at first pat through
machine called tbe "deepulpador,"
wbipb removes tbe pulp ; tbe coffee
grains, of which there are two in each
berry, are still covered with a sort of
glutinous substance which adheres to
tbe bean ; they are now spread out
on large "patios," made specially for
this purpose, and left there, being
occasionally tossed about tnd turned
over with wooden shovels until they
are perfectly dry, Tbey are tben
gathered up aud put into the "retril-
la." a circular trouen in wbicb a
heavy wooden wheel, shod with
steel, is made to revolve, so as to
thoroughly break the husk without
crushing tbe bean. Tbe chaff is sep
arated from tbe grain by means of a
fanning mill, and the coffee is now
thoroughly dry and clean. After tbis,
it is tbe custom of some planters to
have it spread out on long tables and
carefully picked over by the Indian
women and children, all tbe bad
beans beiug thrown out It only re
mains then to have it put into bags,
weigbed and marxed, belore it is
ready for shipment to tbe port On
some of tbe larger plantations this
process is greatly simplified, with
considerable saving in time and labor,
by the use of improved mancinery for
drying and cleaning tbe coffee.

I wo oi tbe best detectives in

Summer to proceed to tbe western
part oi tbe state, join tbe army of

these two men are incorporated in tbe

of tramps, moving toward the town
of Washington, met another partv in

Pittsfield. Tbe leader rf the second
gang said they were waiting for
strike on tbe Boston and Albany
Railroad, and tbat there were scat
tered about in that country about
four hundred men, who were all
waiting to join tbe strikers. These
men appeared ready for any plan of
pillage ana destruction that was pro
posed.: Tbe proposition to barn the
small stations on -the road would
have been carried into effect bad it

would be laid to tbe . poor men em

soaping the rails at various places,
for tbe purpose of stopping tbe cars,
was discussed : but aa a strike was
confidently expected, tbe tramps de
cided to wait a few days. The de
tectives took pains to find oat wfceth
er the tramps tbey met were such by
pboice or necessftr. and of all with
whom they conversed tbey found bat
two who did not scout the idea of
work upon any terms ; and of tbe
willingness ot these two to work tbey
expressed doubts. :
