THE NATIONAL TEIBUNE: WASHINGTON, D. C, APEIL 15, 1882. T SONG OF THE DAWN. The beautiful day is breaking, The fin4 faint ray of light, Parts the shadow of the night And a thousand birds nrc -waking. I hear the hairHrd's slender trill, So fair and perfect it doth fill The whole bwcot silenee with its thrill. A rosy flush creeps p the sky, The birds bcm their symphony. I hear the clear, triumphant voice Of the robin, bidding the world rejoice, The vircos catch the theme of the song, And the Baltimore oriole bears it along. "While from sparrow and thrush and wood pewee, And, deep in the pine trees, the ehioadce, There's an undercurrent of harmony. The linnet sings like a mngic flute, The lark and bluebird touch the lute, The starling pipes to the shining morn ' "With tho vibrant note of the joyous horn, The splendid jay Is the trumpeter gay, The kingfisher, sounding his rattle, ho May the player upon the cymbals be, Tho cock, saluting the suir's first ray, Is the bugler sounding a roveilic, "Caw! Caw!" cries the crow, and his grating tone Completes the chor like the deep trombone, But, above them all, the robin sings;; His song is the very soul of day, And a-U black shadows troop away "While, pure and fresh hi? music rings : " Lijjht is here! , Never fear .' Pay is near! My dear.'" of the West India Islands. Thus dyo is a popular paint with the Indians of South America, as well as with those in other parts of the world, some of them covering their i entire bodies with a iainl of which arnotta is the principal ingrsdient, using but little else in the way of clothing. As a commer cial article, it is mainly used as :i coloring for checce, butter, and inferior chocolates, to all of which it gives the required tinge with out imparting any unpleasant ilavor or un wholesome quality. It is also used in dyeing silks and cottons, but is not easily fixed, and is liable to become discolored in the sun. Varnish makers employ it in imparting ricli orange and gold colored tints to some kinds of varnish. FUNNY SCENES IN CHURCHES Rural Topics. CONDUCTED BY WILLIAM SAUNDERS, "WAsnrKGTo:,-, D. O. IIexs: Xnsxs. A dry substance like wool or sawdust for hens' nests abstracts moisture from the egjrs and ruins them. This very thing is at tho bottom of the difference in the numbor of chicks brought out by a hen who has stolen her nest and by a hen who had been set by a novice. The hen, if left to herself, will make her nest on the moist earth. The novice will invariably make a nice, "comlbrable" nest of so'me dry sub consequence is (Correspondence issoliciled to this column. Com munications addressed to tho Rural Department of The Natjoxai, Tmhuke, 015 Fifteenth Street, "Washington, D. C, will be appreciated. The conductor of Sural Topics is very desirous thatthepublisherof ThejKAtional Tribune should be placed in possession of tlie address of either the Master. Secretary, or Lecturer of each and every Subordinate Grange, so that a copy of the paper may be forniEhed for perusal by its members. It is proposed to make the paper a welcome visitor to the home of every member of the Order, and the Sural Ityics column will, if possible, be kept up to the progressive plane of other departments of the paper. Hedges, (continued.) The only form in which a hedjje can be kept, to be of service as a fence, is that of a pyramid. "When it has attained a height of five feet, it should beat least three feet Avide at the base or surface of the ground. All pruning must bo directed with a view to securing this form. When tho plants are first set out, they should be pruned back to within three inches of the ground, and allowed to grow undisturbed during the first season, their growth in the meantime being encouraged by judicious cultivation. At the termination of the yearly growth, the plants should be again pruned down to within four inches of tho first pruning, and the side shoots below this point also be removed to within an inch of the main stem. This severe pruning of tho branches will give to tho roots a vigorous impulse; the buds will burst early in tho spring, and strong shoots will be the result. During this second year's growth the hedge may be partially shaped by repressing the growth of the strongest perpendicular shoots and encouraging those of horizontal ten dency. Practically this is accomplished by guiug over the plants, about the end of June, and cutting all upright shoots back to a point about eight inches above the previous winter pruning, taking care not to disturb a shoot or leaf on the side branches below that point. In thus cutting back the upright shoots tho side growth will be increased, and a breadth of base secured, which, at this stage of growth, is the most important point of all. In the following winter the hedge, if it has pro gressed at all favorably, may bo pruned down to fourteen inches in height from the ground surface, with the horizontal branches extending from nine to twelve inches on each side. The principles of pruning are that growth is repressed by summer trim ming, and encouraged, or rather, strength ened by pruning after the leaves have fallen. By keeping these facts in mind, and prac tising accordingly, the shaping of a hedge is only a work of time. The lower branches can always be retained as healthy, and pro duce as much density of-foliage as the up right portion of the plants, if the pyramidal lorm is strictly maintained ; but if, at any time, the upright growth predominates the lower lisibs will proportionately lose vigor. The upright shoots should, therefore, he pruned during summer, in order to weaken the growth at that point, and to strengthen and keep the base of the hedge vigorous and close or thick. The principal pruning of the Jower branches should be performed during winter. This is-the only way in which a hedge can be made that will be effective as a fence; and the neglect of the principles here suggested is generally the origin of the conflicting opin ions with regard to the value and efficiency of hedges as farm fences. They may receive come attention for a year or two; but when it becomes thoroughly understood that they cannot be presarved unless trimmed during sammer,when attention and labor is largely absorbed in attending to ordinary crops, farmeia aro not always disposed to give hedges the attention necessary to keep them in good condition, and therefore they fail to hoof service. It should, however, be remem bered that as the hedge becomes perfect tho yearly labor to keep it in order gradually becomes less, and at no time does it require so much labor as that required to keep a common wooden fence in good repair stance, such as hay. The that the moisture is taken out of the egg, the lining membrane becomes leathery, and the young chick is unable to force his way through it Exchange. Ensilage. Prof. Cook, of New Jersey, says that ensilage contains cighty-lwo and one-half pounds of water and seventeen and one-half pounds of dry substances in 100, and a ton of it skillfully fed will make twenty pounds live weight of beef, which, at five and one-half cents, would be 1.10. The manure might bring it up to $1.50 per ton fettling value. In view of the above showing, the claim that ensilage is a nutritious feeding stuff is simply preposterous. The c&nversion of a small proportion of the carbonic hydrates into alcohol may increase or diminish its feeding value, but not to any appreciable extent; whereas the acetous and butyric fer mentations will certainly impair it. In practice, neither of these changes probably amount to more than enough to give it a smell, and their practical effect is about zero. As an appetizing vehicle for more condensed food, ensilage doubtless has a certain practi cal value, and it may also have a not incon siderablevalue in preventing disease of sheep and calves in hard winters from the long use of dry food. To have some of it to open and feed under such circumstances is doubtless very desirable. The estimated cost of its production per ton, as usually published, puts the whole cost below what it will cost to load it on and pitch it from a wagon on to the platform of the cutter. Scarcely ever is anything charged in the estimate for the use of tho land, in terest and taxes on which arc bodily thrown into the credit of the ensilage. Nor is any comparison instituted .between the cost and value of ensilage and the cost and value of other crops which the land might produce. In view of all these things, it remains an open question whether ensilage can be fed to ordinary livestock at a profit, or at a loss necessarily. It is better to go slow about this thing. "What Makes Corn Pop. Chemists who have examined Indian corn, find that it con tains all the way from G to 31 parts in 100, by weight, of fat. By proper means this fat can be separated from the grain, and it is then a thick, pale oil. When oils aro heated sufficiently in closed vessels, so that tho air cannot get to them, they aro turned into gas, which occupies many times the bulk the oil did. When pop-corn is gradually heated, and made so hot that the oil inside of the kernels turns to gas, this gas cannot escape through the hull of the kernels, but when the interior pressure gets strong enough it bursts the grain, and the explosion is so violent that it shatters it in the most curious manner. The' starch in the grain becomes cooked, and takes up a great doal moro space than it did before. At one of the leading Protestaut churches in Baltimore, Sunday morning last the pas tor, after an able sermon, made a strong ap peal for a liberal subscription with which to liquidate a church debt which bad been an noying his repose, as he is a minister who believes in "paying as yon go." The first collection did not loot up as satisfactorily as was desired, and a second call was made, but still the desired amount was not forthcom ing, and as a last expedient the pastor had a basket, provided with cards and pencils, passed from pew to pew by an euergetic "son and brother," with the understanding that any one willing could affix name and amount of subscription, to be called for at an early day. A card was handed, among others, to a stranger of philanthropic appear ance, who wrote something on it, placed it in the basket, and then quietly left the house of worship. Imagine the pastor's sur prise, in counting up his gains from the cards, to read on one of them, written in a legible hand, the words: " The pastor of this church is a crank." He informed the mem bership that he had been the pastor of tho church for many years, and that this was the first time he had been written down a crank," and, of course, this would not have been the case this time had they prop erly discharged their duty at the first call. It is not expected the stranger will occupy a seat in that church for several Sundays to come. A doctor of divinity, who is pastor of a Methodist congregation in tho regions about Madison Square, in this city, on Sun day read from his pulpit a printed official circular of a railway company announcing a change in passenger agents, the paper having leen handed him in mistake for one more religious in its character. A male member of the congregation, who is a railroad man, and is also connected with the Northern Central Railway branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, desired to have the pnstor read a circular announcing a special religious service to he held by the branch. As the pastor walked into his church the railroad man handed him what was sup posed to be the religious notice, failing to remember that he had the official railway notice of change in tho same pocket. Tho pastor, with confidence in his lay member, accepted the notice on faith, and did not read it until he announced it with the pther usual notices to the congregation. Tho rail road man was overwhelmed with consterna tion when he heard his pastor impressively read from the pulpit the announcement that " D. "W. Janowitz, late southeastern passen ger agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at "Washington, has been aj pointed eastern pas senger and freight agent of the Missouri Pacific and St. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad, with headquarters at New York," &c. The pastor read it throngh, even to tho minuto details, expecting, as ho afterwards said, to find some religious reference at the bottom. He, however, reached the name of the managing railroad official signed to tho circular without discovering anything per taining to devotional affairs, and he then quickly turned over to another notice, which he know was orthodox. Tho railroad man meanwhile had fled to the basement, posi tively overcome by the incident which his unfortunate mistako had occasioned. The Northern Central officials claim to have dis covered another avenue for railroad adver tising. Baltimore Sun. Effaintrw fiTfira h 'flTimrarjnra r iMa waiysiiJiOl u Killing the Potato Beetle. It is stated that far water; sprinkled over potato plants will destroy the beetlo as effectually as an application of Paris green. A gallon of gas tar is placed into a barrel of water; the whole is well stirred up, and then tie tar is allowed to settle, and the water is ap plied to the plants. This water is offensive to most insects, and may be freely used with out injury to plants, or man. Feeding Cattle Prof. Brown, of On tario, has been experimenting to ascertain the comparative value of prepared and un prepared hay and roots in the fattening of cattle. Tho i4 preparation " of the food con sisted in the pulping of the turnips and the cutting of the hay into inch lengths. Four cattle were put up in each lot. The four fed en unprepared food whole turnips and nn ent hay gained every day during the 105 days of the experiment 1.70 pounds per head. The four cattle fed on pulped turnips and cut hay gained 2.10 pounds per day. To be continued. THE Arnotta PLANT.-ArnottaiB fur nished by the Bixa Orcllana, a South Ameri can tree, which grows from twenty to thirty feet-in height. This tree bears bunches of pink-colored flowers, which are followed by oblong bristled pods, resembling those of tho chestnut, and of a reddish-brown color. On bursting open, the interior of the pod is seen to contain a crimson colored waxy puip -in which the seeds are imbedded. This puiD forms the substance called atnotta, which ia prepared by maceration in hot water until the seeds are separated. The liquid pulp fe then strained, and evaporated by boiling until it attains the consistency of putty ln this state it is worked into rolls, wrapped in leaves, and is then known as roll or flag arnotta; but when more thoroughly dried it is made into cakes, and termed cake arnotta. Good arnotta is of a fiery red color, and dis solves entirely in water. Roll arnotta is principally brought from Srasil, Cake arnotta is furnished by several Summer Feed. The enlightened dairy man of to-day finds plenty of nutritious grasses essential to the success of the dairy business. His pasture is free from weeds briers, and thistles, whose places'are supplied. dj timothy, June grass, orchard grass, and eSover; and when dry weather makes grass i&orfc in the pasturrs, he has oats, grass, or cornstalks to cut and feed, aud he often adds a little meal and dry hay when the cows aro put in the stalls for milking. Indeed, it is thought by some of onr most successful dairymen that a little dry hay is almost indispensable when cows arc gorged with Hucculent food. Cows eat it with great relish and it absorbes some of tho moisture which must fitberwisc pass off through the excre tory organs. Not a few believe a little meal never amiss, as it helps to keep up tho rich ness of the milk and the strength of the animals. Salt should always be in reach, so the cows can lick it at will. For cuttiiur and feeding early, to eke out short pastures, no grass is considered better thau orchard. It thrives en a variety of soils, growing any where that Indian corn will, and it gets a good growth early, and is ready for use when wanted. If cut early, before even headed, oertainly before it blossoms, and properly cured by piling it in cocks aud avoiding exposure to the hot rays of the sun as much as possible, it ia none the less valu able for extra feed or soiling. The same ay be Baid of cornstalks, which should not ha cut before they are in blossom, and which J&ould be grown in drills, so as to give access to the roots and stalks in tho development of the nutritious elements. No portion of a cornstalk that is white because excluded, from air and sunshine is fit to eat. N. Y. Fanner and Dairyman, A MORMON WOMAN ON POLYGAMY, Copies of tho following letter aro being widely circulated in this country and Europe. Noth ing could moro forcibly illustrate the necessity for tho passage of the anti-polygamy bill thai! the unblushing declarations contained therein : Salt 'Lake City, Dec. 15, 1S31. Dear Fitinxb: Our friendship numbers much over thirty years; in the first few I changed my religion, doming out of tho High Church of England into one despised and re jected by tho world, and such a step was a great sorrow to you, yet, with a tenacity that is remarkable in such a case, you over remained true to our friendship, and you over gavo mo credit for my truthfulness and honesty. In our long and unceasing correspondence my re ligion has occasionally drifted into its pages, though you know I never forced it upon you ; but you have always entreated me never to speak of plural marriage, but, singular to say, in your last letter, you ask me to say whatever my spirit dictates me on the subject ; tho reason you givo for this request is that my happiness is a paramount consideration with you, and, therefore, you desire to ask if this tenet of our religion has not been a barrier to tin's desider atum ? I feel glad that you havo at last opened this "iron door," tho lock of which I should never havo attempted to "pick," considering that it was a sacred tenet of our faith that neither you nor the world you Iivo in had anything to do with, and, liko" tho problems of mathematics, it would bo impossible for you to understand, or appreciate, until you had passed through tho rudimcntal elements ; but, agree ably to your request, I will now make a few remarks and will make them as brief as possi ble. You aro aware that our Church, i. e., tho Church of Jesus Christ, was founded by reve lation given to a Prophet raised up and en dowed to open tho last dispensation on earth Joseph Smith being that Prophet. Amone many revelations was tho one especially given on plural marriage; it was given as an imper ative command from tho Divine Founder; the pcoplooftho earth had become corrupt, with but few exceptions ; this you can see with." your own eyes and understand with your own heart; and now tho Lord 3aid: "1 will raise up a righteous generation; gather out my pco plo from among tho nations; and yo Elders of Israel, my servants, tako unto yoursolves a plurality of wives, women that arc puro ; I will give portions of tho celestial law of marriage for your guidance, whereby you shall under stand how to govern yoursolf for prostitution and adultery shall not bo among my people ! " This plural marriage is not to gratify an im pure appetite, but entirely the leverso; it is the purest principlo on earth ; if rightly under stood and so carried out it will form a chain that will regenerate and indissolubly bind together the whole human family. You have always spoken of myself and family with the deepest admiration and respect, therefore I have confi dence in presenting ourselves to you as recipi ents for this holy order. My daughters entered into it in all their youth and beauty, and with the full sanction of their parents, and lii...,, been worthy members of tho same. Will not tho few words I havo spoken bo a guarantee to you that the principlo is puro and holy! At any rate let mo entreat you to leave it where you find it, and be happy about mo and my family. That is all that need be said to one who novor intends to be a Latter-day Saint plural mar riage cannot b understood by tho carnal mind for such look at it with sectarian eyes aud are at onco blinded. For nysolf, I shall livo and die in tho Church of Jesus Christ, and as far as I cau carry out its principles, God being my helper. Hannah T. King. To Mr. , Norwich, England, WW aj1 irari? T?
