A Great Flower Bed.

You have heard of old bachelors
whims. There, are lots of them on
record. But Henry Shaw, OF st. Louis,
has given practical execution to the
most remarkable bachelors crotchet of
the age. He is Seotchman, a million
aire, and some seyenty-fiye years old.
He has constructed the finest private
flower garden in the world. It has $50
acres in it, and is a gorgeous marvel Of
a garden. IT has every flower in it OBJ
tainahle over the world that will live in
the st. Louis climate. ~
1t is a bewildering paradise of floral
beauty. The flowers number by the
millions. Its cost no one can tell. Shaw
hin self dOn't know. II is threaded by
walks and adorned with conservatolies
and lighthouses full of the rarest exot-
les. A force of one hundred gardeners
is needed to keep, the place in order.
Shaw, it is said, spends his entire in
come from his millions in keeping it up.
He began the thing before the war, and
for several years he has opened it to the
public. Hundreds of thousands of Wis
itors resort to it, It is the chief attrac-
ton and curiosity for the stranger in
st. Louis to visit. And strange to say,
no police guard If, and no flowers are
pilfered. This is the public reverence
TO the mans generous enterprise.
We visited the elegant house at the
head Of the garden. A picture of Shaw
represents him standing among his
flowers. Two elegant protraits of beau
tiful ladies in the garb of the past day
represents some of his female progeni-
tors. a huge book, is kept there for
visitors to record their names in.
A curious feature of the garden is
beds devoted to one flower. For in
stance, there is large bed with every
variety of cactus, another with hun
dreds of verbenas, and SO on. Every
thing is in prodigal profusion.
1t IS a curious notion this, that
prompts rich man to devote great in
come to one pct caprice. and that prin-
cipally for the benefit of others. But
IN this very caprice, so unusual and so
eNpensive, is wrapped up his own per
sonai aspiration. He thus makes his
celebrity And why should a man not
strive to become known through his
mammoth gardens as we'll as through
his statesmRnship or the achievements
of arms or genius
Shaw Is near the grave. He has, in
pursuance of has ambition, wiiled his
gardens TO the city, on condition that
the city binds itself TO keep them up.
The city has eagerly accepted the be-
quest, and thus. through private hber-
atty, gets without cost n public garden
not surpassed IA the world for magnifi-
cenee and beauty.
The garden viii be forever dubbed
'sShaw's Garden. and he thus travels
on to immortality on the successful
realization of his stupendous and most
beautiful crotchet.-dtiGnt0 COaStitu

Grass and Pork.

Feed more grass These three words
contain and explain the entire theory
of that practice by which any one can
II axe hog isiBg-baring the cholera
as profitable as the raising of any other
kind of stock, if not more so, on ac-
count of their ready sale in any market
every year. When I say feed more
grass, do not mean to advise you to
turn your sows and pigs, shoats and
stock hogs upon short crop of any
kind of grass, or upon an old field in
which the noxious weeds and briers lux
uriate, or from which the cream of the
best and richest heritage has been crop
ped by your bunch of mules, cattle or
horses, and then expect your hogs to
flourish, grow and fatten for the
market, without feeding corn at all.
BY no means; for hogs kept on such
pasture must have corn, and that in
ample quantities every day, if ven
would realize anything from their
growth. A small but excellent hog
raiser followed these rules He fed
about siXty-five acres in clover and rye /;
while the clover was growing rapidly,
he tnrned N the smaller ones, and
when it blOssomed, he turne1 them all
IN until the rye WAS ripe enough, then
turned them all on rye to eat it down
and in this way the clover and the rye
reseeds feds for years. Before The
clover came, there vas always a good
blue grass pasture. The first of Octo-
Der they were put up and finished on
corn. On this plan his hogs were al
ways healthy and his pork cheaply

Crossing COtswOld and MerinO Sheen.

A few days ago one of our sheep men.
who has for two or three seasons been
using Cotswold ram on his high grade
Merino ewes, invited me to look at a
nice flock of lambs which he had lust
turned into a meadow near his house.
We discussed the propriety of crossing
the breeds-he advocating it strongly.
I expressed the opinion that one cross
for the production of sslamb" for the
table, was the extent allowable. and
that the second cross, though possibly
affording carcass, would not be profita
bic by reason of the small amount and
poor quality of the fleece. He is a man
not given TO change of views without
very positive proof that he is in error :
and / was greatly surprised on meeting
him recently to learn that he had been
making a thorough investigation of the
matter and had felt constrained to ad-
NIT that such Is the feet In his own
case. I think the introduction aud use
of coarse wool rams among the hocks
of Vermont has been immensely iniu-
rious TO the best interests of our flock
masters, though they have made very
good thing of it temporarily by raising
"lamb. With stock of old high
grade or pure bred Merino ewes and no
desire to perpetuate the flock, but ONLY
to raise lambs for the shambles. the
practice is admissible, but no further

HEART HISTORY.

Once upon q time, maiden,
Sat beneath q hawthorn tree,
And her lover, close beside her,
AIurmured vows Of coustancy.
Fairer, 5weeter than the blossom
Hanging over her was she,
And her heart within her bosom
Throbbed and glowed tunultuously.
Both were young, and fond and FOOLISH
Neither rich, the story goes,
Ma was proud, and pa was mulishs
Great their love, and great their woeF.
SO they kissed, and wept and parted,
Swearing to be ever true;
Died the maiden broken-hearted
Was the lover faithful too
Pshaw she wed wealthy banker,
Islander whispers she was sold,)
And no city DANES outrank her,
With her pockets full OF gold;
Queen at every ball and party,
Decked with lace and jewels rare
Looking very fresh and hearty,
Reigns the victim Of despair
He-confound the lucky fellow .-
Took a widow twice his years,
Fat and forty, ripe and mellow,
With a brace Of 4" little dears -
Big plantation, servants plenty,
Splendid mausiOn, pOmp and ease,
Cured the boyish love Of twenty, i
That incurable disease.
Learn from. thiz, ye doting lovers,
III your anguish, not to break
Anything of greater value
Than the promises you make. rr
Hearts we're made to put in notion
Blood that otherwise would cool
Pleasure, profit and promotion -.E

HERBALIsTIc REaEEDIEs.-In former
days, if member of the household be-
came indisposed, the family head, IN
der the instructions from the gray-bair-
ed dame, went 70 the forest or the FIELD.
to gather herbs or berries, from which
were quickly made invigorating ex-
tracts, which ere many days brought
the patient safely around, and saw the
family gathering once more without a
missing member. How is Is now? The
slightest indisposition brings the fam
lily physician, with his handsome car
rage. He feels the pulse, examines the
tongue, looks very grave, writes a few
lines of hieroglyphies, charges big
fee, and leaves, only TO return the next
day and find his patient nereurialized
sufficiently to be really sick. A week
or two of attendance follows, and there
in lies the secret of !" wealthy physi-
