A facinating youth, of Louisville,
was very badly sold by the matron of
the Kentucky State Prison, in whose
daughter he seemed to eviace very
strong interest, while travelling in q

suddenly changed her scat bo the side
of the young man, and whispered in
bis ear, e Sir, you are total stranger

RYE FOR WINTER PAsTURE.-Rye
will grow on any moderately rich
ground. It should be sown in the fall
After it has advanced so as to stool
out, it is not greatly damaged by the
tramping of reasonable amo mt Of
stock Indeed, the crop of the com.
ing season will be rather beneftte
by turning stock upon it. In the
spring, after grass has started, stock
can be taken from the rye, and good
crop will be secured.
Sometimes farmers choose to turn
hogs and cattle into their fields of ma
tured rye. Hogs and stock will inn
prove greatly by this treatment. The
straw will prove an excellent manure
for'the ground, and plowed and worked
in web will greatly enrich the soil.
This is Southern and popular prac-
tice e.--Farmer.

Tree Planting.
TFrom the Farmer I

Mr.. Miller, of Milwaukee. has
promptly responded to the inquiry in
regard to the proper season for planting
out fruit trees and shrubs. He says.
if the soil be friable. mellow and drain-
ed, the fall is tie best time for doing
that work He has had the experience
of eighteen years in orchard planting,
and he ought 10 be able to settle the
question.
Mr. Miller says that bnt few Of our
best keeping apples can be sent TO dis
tant markets. We judge, from his
remarks, that some varieties are failing
in keeping qualities Among them is
the Roxbury Russet This appie never
appcarcito us to be true to IFS name.
II i, not of the shape of the Massa-
chnsetts Roxbury Russet. and docs not
possess its aroma or keeping qualities
at leas', this is cur judgment. In the
East, some apples are failing as good
keepers, aud fruit culturists are seeking
among the multitudes of new varieties
presented for public favor, others to
take their places. They profess to have
obtained new and promising loug keep
ing varieties.
Some pains have heen taken here by
nurserymen to procure scions from the
bearing trees for propagation. The
disposition of ournurserymen is to kee

If possible. la this Gaze he requires

is not popular as dried fruit; it should

Every thing wasn't just as pleasant as it
might have been, owing to a little difficulty

There was an effort made in the House on
