RYE FOR FEEDING SnEEr.-A writer in the
Illinois Farmer thus relates how u friend of
his escaped the financial difficulties
Rye Is one of the most valuable of the
green feeds for sheep. A friend of ours, an
amateur farmer, who has his means all
locked up in real estate but who is deter
mined to make it pay his expenses in spite
of the hard times, for all the real estate
spectators, incloscd four hundred acres.

which has been cultivated in corn since the
crash of 1857. Beginning to fear that his
third OF the corn crop would not pay his
taxes on some thousands of acres of wild
land, with his other expenses, he applied to
his arithmetic, which convinced him that
thousand good mutton sheep would help him
out so after the corn was laid by he per-
su"ded one Of his tenants to allow him to
SOW some thirty acres Of rye among the corn.
His thousand sheep were purchased IN 40
gust, hcrded wherever he could find feed
until the corn was ripe, when they were
turned ON the young rye. which WAS their
principal food until the first Of June. when
1t was turned over and planted to corn A
portion OF the crop was well fed down. but
had it not been for the standing cornstalks
respectable crop could have been harvested
from il part of the field. Here was the
large part of the feed of a thousand sheep
for eight months, costing about twelve dol.

The flock is now on the prairie, and will
remain there until his meadow is ready to
turn into. when the rye pasture will be re-
peatcd. He will clear at least fifteen hun.

PoMATCM FOR GROWTH OF HAIR
This poma um, applied to the scalp, acts
as a s,imulent to the roots of the hair,
and as a nouiisher to the hair self, by
stimulating the capillary vessels. In
the immediate ncighborhood of hair
bulb, the blood PARTICLES are more nu-
mcrous and active. The ammonia, con-
tanning as it does nitrogen, one of the
principal constituents of hair, horn and
nail, affords one of direct elements of
formation, and hence its value as nour-
ishcr. 1t is utterly impossible for the
animal economy to create hair out of
any oil, because oil is ,dcstitu Of nitro
gen, but if grease be combined with
ammonia, which yields nj rogen, then
great benefit will be derived from the
ponade so made. Ali ponaadcs and oils
that are used for the hair only acts as a
polish, but afford no nourishment.. The
following is a simple form for making
The ammonlacal ponatum Take almond
oil, quarter of pound white wax,
half an ounce clarified lard, three
ounces; liquid ammonia, quarter fluid
ounce; otto lavender and cloves, of each
one drachm. Place the oil, wax, and
lard into a jar, which set into boiling
wa cr; when the wax is melted, allow
the grease TO cool till nearly ready to
set, then sir in the ammonia and the
perfume, and pu' INTO small jars for use.
Never use hard brush, nor comb the
hair too much apply the ponade at
night only.-SciehUc Americun.

DIRECTIONS FOR CLEANING THE
TEETH. Brush the teeth well, both
inside and out, every night and morn
ing, with modera ely hard brush con-
structed with three rows of bristles,
standing so far apart that the elasticity
of the hair may have its full play. Do
not confne its operation to simply NOV
ing the brush across the faces Of the
teeth from side to side, but give 1t a
ro.ary, and, as far as possible, vertical
direction so that the bristles may spring
in between the teeth, and free them from
the particles of food, and the incipient
deposits from the secretion of the tartar
glands. -Dentai Mirror.

Rebel Deproda,Ions I'm tennessee,

Rebel DeprcdAtiOns I'm Tennessee,
We receive accounts daily Of Outrages
perpetraled by rowing bands Of rebels in
Tennessee, the details of many Of which
are enough to sicken The heart We copy
the following FROM the Memphis Repciils
Of the 1st inst:
Buta few days ago pack Of villains
visited Hickory Wythe, and a short dis
tancs from tho place they found poor
old man and his wife, who, by hard and
incessant toll with the help Of only one
servant had made twenty three bales of
cbtos. The pirates called TO burn II,
when the following conversation occurred:
Pirate" Old man, where is your cot
ton ? we have come TO burn It."
Old MAXWELL, sir, l am fifty-sevcn
years old, very much out Of health and a
poorwiie and a decrepid brother TO sup
port, and the litle cotton have cost me
many days OF hard work in the burning
sun, al tho time in a weak aud siokly
state, and ! know that YOU would not
rob poor old man Of his last and only
means Of support. It's all have to keep
mo and my wife and poor crippled BROTH
er from starvation"
Pmate-"What the HI do you think
We care whether you starve or not You
want the Federals 10 get Il, and we will
sec you in hi before you shall sell il 20
the id Lincoln yandals. Boys, fire the
cotton"
Old man EDO for heavens sake leave
me four or FIVE bales, just enough to buy
me some food, for we are destitute Of
every thing"
Pirate--"No, sir; not bale, any man
who attempts to keep his cotton is did
traitor
The poor old, feeble, and worn out man
was compelled 60 witness the earnings OF
the past year destroyed before his eyes,
whilelthe heartrending sobs Of his wife
and the Borrowings Of his crippled BROTH
er fell like icicles on his heart
Another case Of nearly equal cold
hearted cruelty occurred near German
town. A poor white mar, one of Senator
Hammond's "mudsills Of society" had
made five bales Of cotton, and during the
detour of the gerrilla bands he was call
ed ON to burn It, He rccitod his pover-
ty and utter destruction, being without
provisions, clothing boots or shoes, and
appealed in the most touching manner
to the Confederate rascals to leave him
his cotton. IL was all be had, as the
predatory incursion Of former bands had
taken away his only mule. But it was
all in vain. Would the reader believe
that. such an Internal set OF villains
could be raken up from all the degrsd-
ing pcrliens and vile haunts Of the land
Yet such is The fact. After they had
burned the cotton, they actually made
the old man give up his gun, the last and
only available piece of property he had
He then came 10 Memphis and begged
some shoes and something TO live on

Troops for Home Defcnce.
II is evident 10 all intelligent men who
are acquainted with the temper Of the
Rebels, and who have observed their con-
duct in all places not under the protec-
ton Of loyal troops, that the safety Of
the State imperatively demands that
strong military force be kept in the bor-
ders for some time 10 come. We are not
disposed TO commit ourselves to the mer-
cies Of those rebels who have taken the
oath, on compulson, as they tell their
friends, in private. "Trust not a sleeping
WOLF" is maxim Of that wisest Of men,
SHAKsPEARE. Treason subdued Union
ism by fraud and force in this State, and
it must be put down and held In check,
by force. We must coerce and subiugate
il by resistless power. Had we realized
this commonsense fact months ago, in
stead Of relying on decentralization
and desertions," and starvation and
"cvacuations" to destroy the Rebel armies,
and instead Of administering oaths
and utteriDg gentle circumstances,
rushed on the monster OF trea-
son with a million Of soldiers, and swept
over all the South, like tornado, spar
ing in our progress not one element Of
rebel power aud caring for nothing save
to ruin our foes and save our friends, the
contest would have been over before
now. Force, FoHcE, Force, is what is
needed to put down and keep down the
rebels. As fast as duty calls Off our pre-
sent military power, we must hav soldiers
to take their places, and zoe must feed them
If tie reJels We must keep up our army
as far as possible at the expense Of the
traitors who have caused this war. Col.
VIM. B. Stokes has already announced
that he wishes to raise a Cavalry Battal-
ion in this State. He is q man Of talent,
energy and boldness, and we regard him
as well fitted for this responsible labor.
All loyal Tennesseans should assist him
in raising the force required. Tennes-
see has sent thousands to help destroy
the country, and now let her loyal sons
rush forward to save it. Fight young
men of Tennessee, as your fathers fought
in lT7G, in 1912, and as many Of you
fought in 1916. Shall it be eaid that
while other States sent out regiment af-
ter regiment to defend the republic,
Tennessee, once the gallant Volunteer
State, stood back with folded arms, and
gazed listlessly on the flag Of the Union,
while foes and friends clenched in death
struggle around its tattered folds and
clouded stars Shall the men of Ohio,
of Kentucky, of Indiana, be swept down
in death, while fighting against the enc
mics Of freedom, and battle the sod with
their hearts blood, and we be idle ? Our
interest is as great as theirs, aye greater
even, for if the COnfederacy were estab.
lished, IL could not harm the twenty odd
million freemen of the North, but we would
| have TO bow our heads in humiliation and
sorrow, under CALLING despotism, the
hopeless slaves Of rebel oligarchy.
Young men, to the rescue The path of
danger is now the path to honor and
promotion. Go where duty calls and
glory awaits you. To the standard Of
the gallant STOKES, and he will lead you
to victory, and your State to peace and
safety.

No criticism of The acts Of the military

permitted in the press Of Memphis.
Every officer aud private Of the army is

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
seiIe, writing from Athens, Ala, July I'd,
talks thus of Cotton:
Foremost among the noticeable peculi-
arites of Northern Alabama and North
eastern Mississippi is the fact that there
is still left immense quantities Of Cot
ton, nOtWiths' andiDg tho ukdso Of Beau
regard that il should All be burned, and
which the planters arc ready 10 dispose
OF IL the purchasers will advance gold.
The prices heretofore have not been as
romunerative TO the planters as the pur-
chaser whO nearly doubles bis money by
Shipping 10 TO New York. They who hold
the staple product have been selling at
prices that Will scarcely cover the cost Of
cultivation, aud the buyer has not hesi-
tated TO take advantage Of the necessities
of the planters. Lying nn the platform
Of the depot Al this point ia upward Of a
thousand bales Of cotton the property Of
Northern purchasers, which cost on an
average, fourteen cents, and not in reality
that much, for a larger portion was ex-
changed for goods - eXtravagant rates.
Then the buyer realized a double profit
one on the Articles exchanged, and Sec
ond on the disposition Of the cotton itself,
while the planter, from the condition Of
the country, has been compelled 70 sub
nit, or suffer for want OF the neces-
sites Of life Thus, you see, dealers have
been enabled 20 play an entirely one
sided game. But The country is full Of buy
ers now, and the demand has had the ef-
feet Of raising the rates, aud seventeen
cents in gold is considered the ruling
price, although one lot OF two hundred
aud City bales sold this morning at
twenty mine cents, delivered al Nashville.

The truth should be brought home to
all hearts that de business Of tie country for
bePresent is Var; that an honorable Peace
can be acquired only by the might of the
sword; and that the supremacy of the
Federal power placed upon an enduring
basis, will be worth all it costs.
When loyal men all realize this fact,
and thousands of them do not, then and
not til then will the might of the nation
exerted to its utmost tension, like the
sinews of Hercules strained in his sorest
labor, fall on the head of treason and
grind il TO powder.

should be called the Blaekguard. 1t dovotes

Whether our ten.line paragraph, or
