THE Directors OF the Citizens Street
Railway Company yesterday declared Il
dividend Of per cent out Of the earnings
Of the road for the past six months. Con-
sidering the general depression in bnsi'
ness, this dividend must be very satisfac'
tory to the stockholders, some Of whom,
perhaps, did not expect the road to do
much more than pay expenses during the
last six months.
The work on the new extension to
Benson's Ferry will shortly be com.
menced. The Directors yesterday all.
thori1ed the President to contract for as
much iron "a may be necessary to lay the
track. The company has already con.
siderable amount Of iron on hand that
will be available in the extension.

Hungarian Grass.

In spite of the few dscouraging reports
which were at first promulgated this grass
IS gradually working its way into
fame. After seven years trial of it, am
still better satisfied as to its value for all
kinds of farm stock, without any exccp-
ton. Having been compelled to place it
on top of our other hay, we are now feed

crop, which for the past few years has been
so poor.
The plan which we find 10 be the most
economical is to haul the manure ont ON

cast, at the rate of one bushel of seed per
acre, and cover with light harrow and

ment will ensure at least one and a-balf
tons of hay per acre, and we have had more.
1t is usually ready to cut in G5 to 20 DAYS
from planting and should not be cut too
low in order that there may be stubblc
to keep the grass from coming in intact

commences to ripen at the bottom and the
first joint becomes hard before it is fit TO
cut-hence there is not so much lost in
this stubble as would at first appear As
before mentioned, l have fed it TO all kinds
of stock and in all cases find them more
liable to suffer in the want of it than from
eating it. Some report it a dangerous
feed for horses; after several winters ex-
perience l have never found any bad ef-
fects to folloy its use three times per day.
We find it great advantage in afford

and on this account we usually keep some

Bran Kills Cabbage WOrmg,

Let me say, in anser TO Mr.. f. w. Fear.
man, that the object Of scattering wheat
bran over cabbage, is to protect them from
the ravagcs of the green worm. 1t will
not do to wait until the worms arc strong
and fat, as then it will not destroy them.
Two years since saw this remedy recomf
mended, and at the time thought it &a
humbug, as it seemed scarcely possifai
that such simple thing could affect 81.
worms, still made up my mind to TT
as | do all things, holding fast to whasA
good. In June, in going through my ear

ed with the worms. Immediately 1 OBJ
tanned handful of bran and sprinkled it
over the head. The worms began to
squirm and fall off the cabbage, and when
ever the bran touched them, they seemed
to be in pain. The following morning
they were all dead. Since that time, on
the first appearance of the worm cow the
bran. Some seasons it may be necessary
to do it the second time. If the worms
are very thick it is necessary to take o
handful and sprinkle it over the cabbage.
A hundred weight is ample for an acre.

ADJUSTING HARNESS TO THE House,
Every part Of the harness should he buck

fits the horse as nearly as pair of boots

enough at the bottom to admit mans

consideration should team Or work horse

WHAT AGE TO PLANT FRUIT TREES. -
A correspondent of the H0rticulturist says
"A great many think that three or
four year old tree will bear sooner than
one two years younger, and the nurserymen
can testify well to the demand for trees for
immediate fruiting but 1 consider it a
costly, unsatisfactory practice. Nearly eve
ry tree of that age loses by necessity large
portion Of its roots by transplanting from
the nursery to its future bed and in order
to maintain healthy progressive growth,
the top must be shortened in, in same pro-
portion, sometimes quite severely; and by
the time this is completed, the tree is lit
tie or no better than one year or two
younger. 1t happens, however, in the ma
jority of cases. that the trees are neither
we'll planted or well pruned and the first
years growth after planting in its new
home is weak, sickly, stuntod, with the
least possible prospect of fruit.

A South American letter writer says
Buenos Ayres is modern commercial city,
built upon an old Spanish town. 1t is laid
out in squares by streets crossing at right
angles with perfect regularity. The mar
row streets were originally lined with
rambling one-story houses of brick, faced
with white cement, each with its patio in
the centre, and its large street windows
etfectually protected by a network Of iron
bars.
In recent times the wonderful commercial
prosperity of the city has rendered neces-
sary more crowded style of building, and
these structures have been run up to two,
three, and rarely four stories in height.
The shop windows of the Florida, the
principal street, will remind you OF New
York or London, but n glance ut the edi-
flee will bring your thoughts back to Bue-
nos Ayres. The sights in the streets have
the same two-fold character. The old Gus
tom of horseback riding still prevails
largely and the CHATTER of hoofs without
the rolling Of wheels is marked peculi-
arity.
The bakers outfit is q donkey or q sorry
jade Of a horse, with huge panniers on
either side, between which sits the man of
the loavea galloping down the streets. l
believe that fortunately pies are not in de-
mand here. The milkman, dressed gaucho
fashion, with a SLOUGH hat, shawl over
his shoulders and another over his legs,
comes trotting in from the country with
his cans slung on either side of his horse.
He puts water into his milk there is an
other variety" who does not. He may be
seen driving two or three cows down the
street with calves tied to their tails. When
hailed he will draw the milk for you be-
fore your eyes, unadultcrated ofcourse I'M
less he may have syringe full Of water
secreted in his sleeve, as one ingenious fel.
low is said to have done. You may see a
drove Of turkeys down the street, and il
you desire one for dinner, the agile driver
will catch the object of your choice in q
moment and wiring his neck in your pres
ence.
The carts you see are very high two
wheeled vehicles, with the shafts thrust
into a saddle on the back of one horse,
while another, fastened to ono corner by a
chain caught in one side of his saddle, gy-
rates about much as he plcases. These are
trifling matters, but they are street pic
tures-along with street cars of New York
manufacture, the driver of which winds a
horn at every crossing 10 clear the road,
and equipages as fine % any to be met on
the grand boulevard in Chicago.
