CHINESE SUGAR CANE AS FOOD FOB
STOCK OF ALL KINDS.

Mr. EDITOR: Allow me Il small space to "glvc
in my experience as to the virtues Of Chinese
Sugar Cane, as food for stock. have screen acres
of it this year. fire of which planted for the cr-
press UIpose feeding it green and dry to horses,
cattle and hogs; and since the lst of June until
now have been feeding it daily to those animals
My caires have daily upon two acres, sown
broadcast since that time. My COWS and oxen
while sick with the "dlach tongue" were daily
fed with it. Ny orcm, when at work, are fed upon
it, horses ditto. Ny hogs are daily fed with the
cane now, and are in fine growing order. | intend
to fatten my pork upon the cane, as not only good
feed but equal to corn for the same purpose -
These facts can be attested by my nei ghbors, for
they know all about them. After three years ex-
perience with the Chinese Sugar Cane, have
come to the following conclusions in regard to it,
and give them for what they are wOrth-nOt car
ing "bawbee" whether or not they are endorsed
by the people:
L. For forage, either green or dry, there is no
plant valuable.
,. More grain can be made upon the same land
than oats will produce, with an analytic value as
food of one-third over oats.
). For hogs it is next to corn, in every particu-
lar.
4. For syrup, it is equal to any cane'
This is no mere speculatiOn--l have tried the
forage made syrup and sugar, and for the analysis
of its value Ap food am indebted to Prof Lee.

A KISS AT THE DOOR.

The clock struck ten; seized my hat
And babe good night to all,
Except the lass | courted, who
Came with me through the hall.
She stood within the portal,
And l gazed upon her charms,
And, oh longed that moment
To clasp her in my arms
She spoke about the moon and stars,
How clear and bright they shone
| said thought the crop would fail,
Unless we had rain soon.
Then edged little closer,
Put my arm around her waist,
And gazed upon those ruby lips,
/ longcd so much to taste.
Said |, "my dearest Susy,
I'll never rest contented-
If leave tonight without kiss
I'll surely grow demcnted.
Then up she turned her rosy mouth,
And everything was handy,
Quick from her lips | seized kiss
Oh Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Then off for home | started,
| could no longer stay;
With light heart and brooches thin,
[ whistled all the way.
Hence, learn this truth, each bashful youth,
Who seeks for welded bliss,
No lass will love until you move
Her feelings with kiss.

THE RAGLANs.-The approach of cool weather
brings out the new style of over-dress, which
promises to become quite the rage among the
ladies. Though introduced last spring, but few
were made up and those altogether in cloth serving
for use in travelling, and in cold spells during the
summer. The cloth is much lighter than ordinary
ladies' cloth, and dark in color: The Raglan is a
long and loose sacque, with wide flowing sleeves,
trimmed only with silk tassels here and there 1t
is buttoned close up to the throat, and finished
with small collar, over which no muslin or lace
collar is worn. There is no fancy trimming
on the other portions, except row of buttons
down the front, serving for fastening. The effect
is not SO graceful as the circular but it is becoming
to tall figures 1t will be almost universally
as soon as the fall opens.-New Iork CommerciaL
