TIE RRoEIPTs, &C.-The receipts at the cotton
ports for the week ending on Friday last say
1oo,34s bales, were against ss,Se4 bales for the
week last year, and with better condition Of the

will be considerable for several weeks. New Or

year, while Texas and Mobile show an increase.
Although this is the period OF the year when the
heaviest supplies may be locked for. prices have

Hungarian Grass.

The trouble about Hungarian
grass is, that it is not generally cut
at the proper time. 1 have raised it
several years and consider it the very
best hay for horses. They will keep
fat on it where on Timothy they will
grow poor. l SOW ] bushel per acre.
It then makes fine hay, and on good
land should yield from 2 to 3 tons to
the acre. Cut it when in the blow
before any seed is formed: wilt in
the swath the same as clover and
make in the cock. The stalk is near
ly solid and the hay very heavy, and
il made in this way will be as green
as grass and a horse will want little
grain for ordinary farm work. only
feed bran in the spring when doing
heavy blowing. Give your horses all
they will eat Of it and they will fat
with decent usage. But if allowed
to turn yellow and form seed it is the
same as any other grain and will, of
course, injure a horse the same as if
he were fed wheat in the bundle to
excess. Any over-feed Of grain is
bad. 1t is better to rake it by hand
but on good soil you will tumble
up big cock in a small space.

the telegraphic columns Of The Post
bore witness, by delegates from eve
ry county on the line between Musca-
tine and Kansas City.
The truth is, the completion Of the
Muscatine Division CT the Chicago,
Rock island and Pacific Railroad, to
Cameron, Missouri, is an enterprise
of the greatest importance to Chica-
60. From Cameron to Kansas City
. road is done, and joys road to the
famous Cherokee lands, the richest In
Kansas, is rapidly building in the
same direction. Except the Pacific,
there is no longer direct line in this
country. it has been definitely de-
termined that Ottumwa shall be the
first important point to be reached,
and that the cars must be here to-
ward the close of the present year.
This is the simple truth, aud it is due
to the cause of Righteousness and
conscientious Incorporating that
the plain fact should be stated in the
columns of The Post.
