AGRICULTURAL,

Tt is evident the cmirxw of rotation
of crops which arc practiced bene
ficially in several urocait countries,
on farina of imxlerafc sizo, and fn a
elimatc favorable to the production of
green crops, would not be suitable in
some parts of the United .States, where
the farms are of great extent,-and the
climate unfavorable to the growth of
green crops. Yet rotation, suitable to
the M)il and climate of this country,
may be arranged without difficulty.
It is lietter to prevent the exhaustion
of the soil than to cure it and the ex
haustion may be obviated by the alter
nation of unlike, crops.
Iradopting the-alternation of crops
man copies from nature. In the furest,
wan generations of broad-Teaved trees
livcnnd die and succeed each other,
but Jbe time comes at last when a gen
eral pestilence seems to assail them; the
broad-leaved trees disappear, .and a
narrow-leaved race succeeds them.
A natural rotation takes place, even
iu tho meadows and pastures, where
new grasses succeed each other, as the
fields increase in age. The alternation
of crops asserts itself something like
the diirnity of a natural law and man
is doinir well when he adopts it But
u)on what do its good effects depend?
Why do the broad leaves alternate
with the narrow, in the ancient forest?
Why do grasses change in the meadows
and pasture? Why does the farmer
obtain a large produce, and for a greater
number of years, by growing unlike
crops alternately, than by continuing
year after year to grow the same? The
reason is that one crop carries off more
of one ingredient of the sou, and anoth
er crop more of another ingredient
After several successive crops of the
fame kind the surface soil becomes so
poor in available supply of those sub
stances which the crop requires, that
the roots can not obtaiir asufficiency to
nourish the plants.
In the case of a cereal crop, the first
effect of a scarcity, say of phosphoric
acid, is to make the ear smaller, and
the number of graips less, and the next
is to continue the growth beyond the
proper time of ripening. But suppose
we alternate a cereal crop which in its
grain, carries off phosphoric acid with
a hay crop which carries off" much
silica, of a root crop which absorbs
much aiKaune matter, men one crop
will live upon and remove what the
other had left in abundance.
By this means, instead of robbing
the soil every year of the same sub
stance, we should be exhausting it
more equally of all, and we should be
able, for double the time at least, to
crop it without the risk of its ceasing
entirely to give a prolific return. The
greater the variety of crops we grow,
and the interval Detween the success
ive crops of the same-kind, the more
lerfectlv do we avail ourselves of the
benefits to be derived from rotation,
But without manure, no rotation, how
ever skillful, will prevent land from
becoming untimely exhausted. Jl as

ters.
The National Grange fn session last
month at Charleston decided to permit-
nently locate its omce somewhere id
the Mississippi valley, and the execu
uve comrmiiee were instructed to se
lect such locality as might seem best
suited for the purpose. The commit-
tee will not act hastily, as the resolu
tion gives them six months' time. The
importance of tliis matter must not be
overlooked, and we especially would
call the attention ot the citizens of iou
isville and the Patrons of Kentucky to
chances that this city has for the loca
tion. Let us not sleep while other
points arc Ixjiug shown in their best
light before the committee.
Wc'do not understand that it is nec
cssary to offer anything in the way of
pecuniary inducement Jiut there
might be something done to call the
attention of the committee to our city
audjthc advantages it offers. Let the
committee be advised of our facilities
and central location, of the fact that
were there -two lines drawn at right
angles across theicountry in which the
movement has taken hold most ear
nestly, Louisvillc..3vould be found near
the center. The city is approachable
from even' quarter by rail and river,
with good .hotels, large public halls,
and most hospitable people.
But, above all these, there are other
reasons why the Grange should locate
Jiere. There is a praiseworthy feeling
among the Patrons, growing stronger
every day, that oll.sectional and bitter
.hatred engendered by the late war
should be laid aside. The strife tliat
politicians keep up for their own gain
fs unheard of in the councils of the
National Grange. Then, what better
selection could be made for its perma
nent headquarters than this city, situ
ated just on the line between what was
once the two sections of the country.
To the city that finally secures the
location will accure manv benefits.
The Grange will probably erect 3 sub
stantial and attractive building for its
offices. It will add its funds to the
capitals of the lwuks. It will give
employment to a number of persons.
It will bring to its annual meetings
Patrons from all portions of the coun
try. It will encourage the manufact
ure of machinery, such as farmers use,
and will, in many wn.fr, bring people
and capital to its "headquarters that
would no otherwise go there. To suit
all concerned, no letter point could be
hclcctcd than this city. Com icr-Jour-

nroctliiiK Farm Slock.
Hon. Harris Lewis, President of the
New York State Agricultural Associ-
at ion, at a-recent meeting of the Cen-1
tral Xew York Farmers' Club, made
the following remarks upon the subject
of "Breeding Farm Stock:"
"I believe that a man must have
considerable 'gumption,' o'r judgment,
if he undertakes breeding animals.
He must have an object to breed at.
If for the show ring, Iks must cover
every defect in an animal with fat; if
he breeds tor leeT, he must breed lor
meat, and not for bone? if he breeds for
milk, he mut select from the very best
breeding strains and breed from them.
A dairyman mut decide wliat branch
he designs to follow. If for selling
milk, he should breed ilolstcin; the
Lord waters their milk enough. If for
a scanty pasture or hillside I would
breed Ayreshires; they will obtain lood
where no other breed can except De
von. If for butter, the cows must be
selected for- buttei: not necessarily
much milk, but full of butter. For all
purposes butter, cheese, milk, or af
terward for beef the short-horns and
their grades arc best I believe farm
ers meet with great loss by keeping the
wrong kind ot swine, lho Chester
whites ought to live where corn is more
plenty than here. We ought to breed
the kind that will produce the most
meat and the least offal from the food.
We have three breeds of this kind, the
Suffolk, the Essex, and tho Berkshire.
As to sheep, if the grower can combine
wool and mutton it is a paying busr
ness. Hie breeding system that pre
vails among dairymen is very wrong.
The' generally breed from any scrub
bull which is available. 1 his.is wrong
The qualities to breed at should always
be in mind. We want a type which
will transmit characteristic qualities to
the offspring. Thus the valuable
points are perpetuated, and this must
be done with intelligent skill. A
'noodle setting up for a breeder is like
a child playing with fire, he can not
tell to what results his operations will
lead.

CULTURE OFTHE GRAPE.
xoiitr.it vi.
TIi owe Varieties offirnprs Least Subject
10 uiHcnseN.
Having made the cultivation of the
vine a specialty lor the last six years,
watching its habits, growth and (level
opement, contrasting the merits and
demerits of one variety with another,
anxious to learn which are the bes
kinds to grow, all things considered we
have decided in favor of the "Ives" for
the Vineyard.
This vine and its fruit arc almost ex
empt from disease of any kind; is hardy
healthy and productive; it riicns early
and hangs longer than any other early
variety. The Ives is not a superior
grape, but when ripe is rich and sweet,
and makes one of our best red wines.
We will group the Concord, Norton,
and Olinton together, as the next va
rlptmn lpjist Rtiliiwt tn difcAnsn? lint. 1W
no means consider these varieties couai-
Iy good.
Tho Clinton is hardy, healthy and
moderately productive, butyiclds rath
er inferior fruit Its berry is small
and acid. The longer it hangs the
better it gets. It is a late variety and
hangs long, but not long enough to get
really rood. It never lias rotted with
us. It makes a sub-acid, ur a kind of
nondescript, red wine.
The Norton is also late, and very
productive; bunches large, berries
small, sweet end melting, and it makes,
perhaps, our best modicmarwine.
The Concord is perhaps the most
popular grape grown. It is planted
and ripened over a vjrj' extensive ter
ritory in the Western estates. It ri
pens early, and has a rich, fruity flavor,
that seems to suit the masses. It has
a large bunch and berry. It has been
more affected by disease with us than
either of the above varietiesr
We speak of those four varieties as
vines for the vineyard, and we might
add the Eloanthc," Diana, and Golden
Clinton to them, so far as health is con
cemed; but we pass on to those deli
cious table grapes that make our mouth
water to think ot. Delaware, the
highest type; Iona, a little higher;
Rogers' Nos. 1, 3, 15 and 53 a hair's
breadth above, in size if nothing more;
all red save No. 1, and it tries to be.
It is not fair to leave out .the Walter
and Catawba, but we can't bring-tliem
all in now, tor here is the little black
Alvey and Eunielan that belongs to
this class, but all, or nearly all of
them, are tender and more or less sub
ject to disease.
In planting out a vineyard for mar
ket aril wine, wo would say, "go
slow" on all varieties save Ives, Nor
ton's Virginia, Concord and Clinton
lhcsc are, in our opmion, the moat
hardy, healthy, productive, and relia

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Potatoe Soup. For one quart of
milk boil and mix lour medium sized
wiatoes, add a little butter and salt
boil the milk with mace and a piece of
celery root, turn it over the potatoes:
strain through a sieve; beat three eggs
well, and stir them m the soup when it
boii3 up. serve immediately.
uooD Rolls. I wo quarts of flour,
and of sugar, lard and yeast half a cup
each. A pint ot milk boiled, in
winter, make up at night; in summer,
in the morning. At noon, roll it out
cut with a goblet and roll up; let
them rise until tea time. Put a good
many in tho pan, so they will not
spread.
- m
InizzLED Dried Beef. Cut the
beef very thin; if salt, put it into cold
water and let it stand upon the stov
until nearly boiling, Urain the water
off, and put in butter enough to keep
it lrom burning; when hot, break
three or lour eggs, and stir the whole
briskly until the eggs are done.
UOOKTKO liEEFSTEAK. A method
of broiling equal in every respect to the
gridiron.except that it lacks the smoky
taste, is this: Sot your spider on the
stove and let it get smoking hot. Put
in no butter or any kind of grease.
Have your meat previously prepared
by mining on all pieces ol bone, gland

burn the edge and turn up. Lay it
very carefully and smoothly in th
spider, it will stick last at hrst, but
as soon as it is browned can be loosened
with a knife. Sprinkle a little salt on
the upper surface and turn it over.
jet tue other eiuc brown the same as
the first. Have a platter warmed, lay
the meat careiuny upon it, without be
smearing the edges; dress with butter
and pepper and send to the table hot.
By this process you have a crisp and
brown surface, with the juice retained
as well as by boiling, and the addition
al advantage that the inevitable drip
pings are saved and can be converted
into gravy.
Many people like onions,-but dislike
to eat them because of tho bad taste'
that remains in the mouth. This can
be remedied by boiling the sliced on
ions in halt a gallon ot water lor the
space of a minute or two. Pour it off,
and .pepper, salt and butter, and when
dished, a few spoonfuls of sweet cream.
No taste of onions will remain in the
mouth, nor can it bo detected on the
breath.
Golden Pie. Take one lemon.
squeeze the pulp and juice into a bowl
(removing every seed), to which add
one teacup of sugar, one ditto of new
milk, one tcaspoonful of powdered
starch, and the yolks of three eggs,
well beaten; pour this mixture into a
nice crust, and bake slowly. Beat the
whites of three eggs in a stiff froth, add
the sugar, and when done pour it over
the top evenly and return to the oven
to stiffen, not to brown.
biLVEH Pie. Peel and grato one
large white potatoe into a deep plate;
add the juice and grated rind of one
lemon, three beaten eggs, one cup of
sugar, one ditto ol milk, and pour into
your crust and bake; when done, have
read' the beaten whites of three eggs,
nan a icacup oi puiverizea sugar and a
faw drops of rose water (or other fla
voring"); pour this over all and return
to the oven. When ready for the ta
ble, la' lumps ot currant jelly on top.
Have them cold for dinner.
Poultry, aside from a dry house,
cleanliness, warmth, ventilation, sun
light, a choice variety of food, pure
water, dry earth, prepared muck, ash
es, plaster, ctcv especially laying hens,
should have animal food to make up
for want of insects, to which they are
accustomed m out-door lite at other
seasons. "Scraps" are a cheap source
ol supply.
A correspondent states that buck
wheat flour, sifted through a sieve in
the evening or in- the morning when
the dew is on, will effectually eradicate
cabbage worms. Two applications
(and otten one) will do the work. He
has succeeded in raising splendid cab
bage, while his neighbors who did not
use tho remedy, have invariably failed.
It is far preferable to the hellebore,
or any other article for the puriwse,
and has the advantage of being harm
less.
To Cure Sore Hands. In the
evening rub them in wheat-flour, put
on a pair ol gloves, and go to bed.
Carbolic Acid for House-Plaxtp.
-Sevcial of my nice geraniums began to
look sickly, and on examination I found
little worms at the roots. I applied a
olution of weak carbolic acid quite
freely to the earth, and found that it
restored the plarrti to health and beau-
y in a short time. It will also kill
ice uixrn the stalks, if applied with a
sWab or feather to the plants, without
injuring the foliage.
lobETTLE Coffee Without Jggs,
Put the ground colfee (twotablc-
poonsfuls or more according to the
ize of the family) to soak over night,
in about a tcacupful of water. In the
morning, add morn water, and put it
over to boil, boiling fifteen or twenty
minutes; then hit in what water is nec
essary, and put the coffee-pot on the
stove-hearth; in fifteen minutes or so,
the coffee Will pour off clear as amber
colored claret.
Preserving Eggs. Whatever ex
eludes the air prevents the decay of
the egg. What I have found to be the
most successful method is, to place a
small quantity of salt-butter in the
palm of the hand and turn the egg
round in it, so that every pore ot the
shell is closed; then dry a sufficient
quantity of bran in an oven (be sure
you have the bran well dried, or it will
rust). Then pack them with the small
ends down, a layer of bran and anoth
er ol eggs, until your box is lull, then
place in a cool, dry place. If done
when new laid, they will retain the
... y i .-i I
sweet nnlk and curd of a new laid egg
lor at least eight or ten months. Any
oil will do, hilt salt-hutter neyer be
comes rancid, and a very small quanti-
tyol butter will do a very large quau-
tity of eggs.
lo insure Ireshness, I
rub them when gathered in from the
nests, then pack when there is a suf-
' .
ficicnt quantity.
C-uun for looTHAcriE. A corres
pondent writes to the Scientific Ameri-
can that the worst toothache, or neu
ralgia coming from the teeth, may be
speedily and delightfully ended by the
application ol a small bit ot cotton
saturated in a strong solution of ammo
nia to the defective tooth. Sometimes

THE AT.PINI
ME ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA,
ISSCID XOXTBLT.
A MAGNIFICANT CONCEPTION
DERFOLLY CARRIED OUT.
The necessity of a popular mediam forth
representation of the productions of our great
artists nas always oeen rteognued, and many
attempts have been made to meet the want
The successive failures which have so invariably
louowea nco auempt in tnis country to estab
lish an art journal, did not prove the indiffer
ence of the people of America to the claims of
high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of
the want and an ability to. meet it were shown,
the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to
its support, and the result was a rreat artistis
and commercial triumph THE ALDINE.
ine Aidine wmie issued with allot the regu
larity, has none of the temnorarv or tivelu in'
terests characteristic of ordinary periodicals. -
It is an elegant miscellany of pure, lizht. and
graceful literature, and a collection of pictures,
the rarest collection of artistie skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
value and beauty ot The Aidine will be most
appreciated after it is bound up at the close of
-.no year, it nue outer pnoitcallons may claim
superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of
a similar class. The Aidine is a unique and
original conception alone and naapproaehed
absolutely without competition in price or
character. The possessor of a complete vol
ume cannot duplicate the Quantity of line na-
per and engravings in any other shape or num
ber of volumes, for Un lianilicni; and litm,
Mere u the chromo, ttndei:
The national feature of The AId:ne must be
taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmo
politan. While The Aidine is a strictly Ameri
ran institution, it does not confine itself to the
peprodnctlon of native art. Its mission Is to
cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one
that will discriminate un grounds of Intrissio
merit. Thus, while pleadingbefore the patrons'
of The Aidine, as a leading characteristic, the
productions of the most noted American artists,
attention will always be given to specimens
from foreign masters, giving subscribers all the
pleasure and instruction obtainable from horns
or foreign sources.
The artistie illustration of American scenery,
original with The Aidine is an important fea
ture, and its magnificent plates are of a sise
more appropriate to the satislaetory treatment
of details than can be afforded by any inferior
page. The judicious Interspersion of landscape,
marine, figure anuanima! subjects, sustain an
unabated interest impossible where the scops
of the work confines the artist too clr.sely to a
single style of subject. The literature of Tho
Aidine is a light and graceful accompaniment,
worthy of the artistic features, with only such
technical disquisitions as do not interfere with
the popular interest of the work.
PREAIIDJI'FOR 1875.
JJvrry mbsciber for 1874 will receive a beau
tiful portrait, in oil co'ors, of the same noble
dog whose picture In a former Issue attracted so
much attention.
"Han't Unselfish Friend'
will be welcome to every home. Everybody
loves such a dog, and the portrait is necot.d
so true to the life, that it seems the veritable
presence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. De
n itt Talmage tells that his own Newfruadland
dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it- Al
though so natural, no oo who sees this pre
mium chromo will have the slightest) fear of
being bitten:
