Kexrocky BLUE, OR JUNE GRASS, —ln =n address pefore a Kentucky gramge, the fellowing pﬁnl’.s for this zupss were claimed: > st Its capacity to yield an abundamt pasturage. This characteristic is spparent to all whose attention has Rwen directed to this matter | 2pd. Its fattening qualities are concoded by 2l to be equal, if not supersor 9 that of any other grass, and for cuitle itxq:mequal among all the srasses, giving rise to the most savory «f mests. Especially for milch cows does Tts excellence manifest itself, in he rich flow of sweet and oily cream fromn which the gchoicest butter is

srd. Its -capacit} to hold the soil frym washing away is, perhaps, more m double that of other grass. Emﬁg with its metwork of 10,000 thready rootlets, it thus clasps almosh every atom of the soil, and, when it Las thes taken possession of the soil, 3t adwmits’of no rival, forming a heavy Tich, green sward on the surface.— Thus! it may beseen that our soil is safest from the ravages of the watery <emeht when in the keeping of this most beauntiful variety of grasses.

Before beginning, each Jst was weighed on a set of stock sScales, conveniently near, and there- . =fter were welglﬁd’ twice a week.— Each lot received thé same care in walering, huldm exercise, protecGiom against etc. The experi- ' ments were continued over a period @I eight weeks.

V*——' 3 $ FarreExiNe POULTRY. — Chickens are easily fattened and so very superisar in' gquality that no others ought ever {0 be used at home or pffered for szle, though few or no inducements are offered in the West to sell good ‘pouliry, as all good and bad ‘sells at about the same price per piece, or bead, regardless of both weight and oS fattening, the Prairie Farmer says, all that is needed is a dry, warm coop, large enough to hold the requisite number. They should be kept - up Two weeks, and in that time they ought to have all the food and water that is needed. After that time they do not gain but rather lose in weight, A chicken capable of becoming that heavy ought to gain about two pounds in a fortnight, and ought to weigh, when dressed, nearly or quite five -\ pounds or more. e Altogether tlhe best feed for fatten--ing is new corn, *which is softer and mmore easily digested thanold, A cou.stant supply of waterand a box of ~ clean sand ought to be furnished. It is surprising to see how fast they - will fatten, and how supetior a fat chicken thus cared for is'to one that is allowed to roam at large and look . The mode of selling pouliry in the "ﬂ#h too much condemned, lsajnngﬁ‘:, heavy chicken, that is - /& luxury oo have on the table, sells lor: very little if any more than a litLe, lean, scrawny, tough one, that is mot 6t to eat and can not be made fit by amy care or quantity of food. If chickens were sold by the. pound, as * they &re in the East, this would hard1y be the case, for when a heavy breed aﬁg quality was offered for Sale they would count up in proporSiom o weight.

—A contemporary declares that the importance of drain_ing'wet land cannot be too strongly impressed upon farmers. . Tiling can be had cheapand

~ —We heartily concur in this advice which an exchange offers its readers: In purchasing your nursery trees and plants this season don't neglect our local growers, who can usually be relied upon for furnishing stock that is healthy and true 'to name. Trees grown in this latitude and soil are much to be preferred to gchose brought from distances, which often result only in vexation and disappointment. ; ' —A law was passed at the special session of the Le’gi‘slat)ure providing: that lands not platted and.used solely for agricultural purposes, if lying within the limits of cities or towns, shall not be taxed for general city or town purposes. An emergency ciause places it in force now. Thelaw will affect several tracts of land in this town and will to that extent decrease the aggregate amount of taxes. —The cash system, says the Crawfordsville Journal, ig steadily growing in favor with-nearly every class of trade-people, and it isn’t half so hard to refuse people credit as it used to be, while they don’t dare get mad about it now-a-days, either. Formerly, if a lady was told she could not have goods unless she paid for them, she would flush up; leave the store, and not enter it again for six months, at least. Now she is pretty sure to get over her anger in 24 hours, at the most, and come back, take the goods and pay for them, too. = —See here, don’t you recognize a good deal of solid truth in the following remark of the Cambridge City Tribune: “How ready we areto say that whisky causes a great deal of trouble and misery, besides the thousands of souls it sends to everlasting ruin. . And in view of these facts, how astonishing it is that when occasionally thelaw takes hold of a fellow for unlawfully tampering with it, and is about to ‘sit down on him, we find 80 many persons, including a goodly number ~of the windy advocates of temperance, trying to get him out of its grasp.” Ty g

AWAY WITH MILITARY FORCE, The bottom principle of American institutions is that just government exists only by the consent of the governed. A government which is kept 1n existence by military force knocks out the very bottom of our institutions. Therefore every American must sympathize with that sentiment which is so pronounced in Louisiana and South Carolina, which is"to the effect that the existence of government which has to be sustained by. military power is insufferable to a free pgple; i 8 a dangerous strain on ghe conmstitution’s baek; that unless it hall be soon terminated it will be destructive to liberty, and that it is altogether unpleasant. - Cincinnati Gazette, - o 5 i ik :

This, the Brazil Mirror comments, is as good democratic doctrine as one could wish to read. Yes, “the bottom principle of American institutions is -that just government exists only by the consent of the governed.” But this comes too late from the Gazette, that sustained and upheld Grant in his military despotism over the South during the last eight years. But ‘things have changed. Hayes desires o let Packard and his fraudulent ‘government in Louisiana fall, in order to strengthen Republicanism in the South. He sees the hand-writing on the wall, and knows that Returning Boards in Louisiana have had their day, and that a different policy must be pursued. He desires to conciliate in a vain hope to regain the lost prestige of the Republicans in the South. ‘The ecolor-line is passing rapidly out of Ameriean politics—killed by Freedman’s savings banks and many othes frauds practiced upon these poor, ignorant and defrauded. people.

(David Winebrenner) embraced the christian religion under the labors of Elder Na‘than Worley, and was baptized by him, andunited with the:Christian Chunreh at Liberty, Montgomery county, Ohio, in the year 1830, and remained members of said church until they emigrated to this county, which was about the year 18387,-and with her husband went into-the organization of the Christian Church near Wolf Lake, June 28, 1843, and remained a.member up to the time of her death.

" In the death of Mother Winebrenner the childreirhave lost aloving and affectionate christian mother; the citizens a good and obliging neighbor, and the church one of its brightest lights. She was always ready to werk in the vineyard of thé Lord, and to exhort her brethren and sisters to faithfulness, and prayed earnestly for the conversion of the impenitent. But ‘we will no more hear her warm exhortations here on this earth, she has gone to wear the crown of the righteous, and to inherit the kingdom prepared for those that love and serve the Lord. She was a widow a little over nineteen years and had her home with her son (Elder Peter Winebrenner. ; e She leavé\s ‘three sons and three ‘daughters, dne sister and two half -brothers, and a large circle of other relatives and friends to mourn their ‘loss. But they mourn not as those that have no hope. Their loss is her eternal gain. Elder James Atchison prea‘ch‘ed{ a very appropriate funeral discoursé from Rev. 14; 13, to a large and sympathizing congregation. .

Why America JMay Expect &ood | ! - 'Timeés. ‘ (From the New York Witness.) "~ 1. Our population was neversolarge as it is now. . 2. There-was never before so much land under cultivation in theseUnitéd States, nor such a large aggregate of produce raised. \ P 3. There were never greater facilities for transportation. foni.T * 4, Our wheat, corn, provision, butter, c¢heese, petroleum, cotton, silver and other products have been bringing cash at fair prices. - 5. There :is plenty of money to be had at a moderate rate of interest, as soon as the owners consider it safe to lend. : 6. The hard times have/been the best times we have had for revivals of religion and temperance. _ 7. The whole nation has been practicing economy. -8. The state of exchange with other countries is such as would enable us to resume specie payments now if wé chose. ‘ - 9. Our political troubles are over, and an era of good feeling is returning to - this long divided and distracted country. 2 i All these reasons combined lead us to_anticipate the return of good business generally, and a gradual rise in values of nearly all kinds of property.

Yo “Well, He’s Inl? A colored woman stepped in at Ed. Palmer’s cigar store on South Illinois street, the other day, and asked the price of “flat tobacker.”’ “Why,” said Mr. Palmer, “you don’t chew, do you.” : “No, sah! I doesn’t chaw. I wants it to send to my husband.” . * “Where is your husband?” - “Well, he’s up norf.” “Whereabouts up north ?” “Why up—well, he's in.” : “Why,” said Mr. Palmer, “what was the matter ?” i ; “Well,” said she, “there was some misunderstandin’ about some harness, an’ he couldn’t explain it. I understood it, but he couldn’t make de cote understan’ it"—lndianapolis Herald. SPEAKING of the new road law enacted by the late Legislature, the Logansport Star says: There has been:a. few changes in the law that will doubtless prove beneficial, but in the main it is but little better than the old one, and will prove to be of just about as little practical utility. It reduces the price of a day’s labor upon the road to s§l, places a little power in the hands of the Township Trustee, and impog%s a | little more responsibility upon:the Supervisor, without changing the system of -working, wherein consists the great ‘wrong. The present system has proven a failure in times past, and is looked upon as a mere farce. What the country demanded was a radical change in the entire system, both as to Supervisors, their duties and liabilities and the manner in which the labor is performed and the money expended. The new law, however, is one step in advance, and may lead to better things in the future. : :

The Crawfordsville Journal believes the people will be disappointed that a more radical change in our road system was not made. In view of the fact that every person acknowledged the failure of the present system it would seem that the duty of our Legislature, was magde clear. Some good bills imaking a ‘thorough revision of the system were introduced and they should have been passed. . ’ Encouragement for the Feeble.

‘What Men Need Wives For, It is not to sweep the houslg aﬁd make the bed, and darn the socks,and cook the meals, chiefly, that a man wants a wife. - If this is a11,.-when a young man calls to see a young lady, send him inte the Ig)ant;ry‘ to itaste the bread and cakes she has made; send him to inspect the needle work or bed making, or puta broom into her hands and send him to witness its use. Such things are important and the wise young man will look quietly after them. -DBut what a true man most wants of a true wife is her companionship, sympatlhy, courage and love. The “way -of life has many dreary places in it, and man needs a companion to go with him. A man is sometimes overtaken with misfortune; he meets with failure and defeat, trials and temptations beset him, and he needs one to stand by and sympathize. He has some stern battles to fight with poverty, with enemies and with sin; and he needs a. woman that while he. puts his arms around her and feels that he has something to fight. for, will help him fight; that will put her Jips to his ears and ‘whisper words of counsel, and her hands to his heart and impart new inspiration. All through storm and through sunshine, conflict and victory, through adverse and favoring winds, man needs a woman’s love. The heart yearns for it. A sister’s or a mother’s will hardly supply the need.

2 An Appeal from the Sounth. - [Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Constitutionalist.] ~ The Southern people desire northern immigration. They are anxious to have assistance from the north in building up their section and developing its magnificent resources. They wish northern capital, northern muss cle, northern brains,and northern energy. They care’no more for the politics of those who come to the south than they do for their religion, and for the truth of this statement we appeal to the northern settlers now in Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama. We believe that those who come will act with the party through the success of which only can the south be prosperous. But if they chose to be Republicans, well and good. They shall beas free 1n ‘speech and action here.as in Massachusetts or flowa. -

J. Decker in the Southern Agriculturist, gives his method with raspberries, as follows: : “The ground is prepared as fer corn and furrows are drawn six feet apart aud the plants placed- about three feet. apart in the furrow, and covered about two inches deep.” They should be kept clean by cultivating and hoeing which is necessary, Corn can be planted between the rows the first year if desired, and will do no damage. \
