SOWING GRASS AND CLOVER WITH GRAIN.
One great cause of failure with grass in
| the south has been the seeding of the
crop with the small grains. This is a
common practice at the north, land we
were formerly inclined to favor it, but
later experiments force us to the conclu.
sion that in our climate at least, the
practice is a bad one, and that it is fan
more profitable to SOW each by itself. L
sown Immediately, (when not already in.
grass and clover will, on suitable soil
attain such a growth before the no
weather of next season sets in, as will in
sure them against injury, without TIN
shade of the grain, which will be injure'
by the clover and grass, while injuEn,
them in return. In any case, the ram
for clover and the grasses should bd AZ
and thoroughly prepared by deep, tlGs
ploughing, followed by narrowing, 'are
vious to which a good dressing of super
phosphate may be applied with adyan
tage. Brush lightly to cover and, eX
cept on heavy soils, by all means roll tn
fields with a tolerably heavy roller. Thi
last is an important and too general
neglected process. If you are to sow bot
clover and the grasses on the same field
t it is best to SOW the clover by itself, a
t the seed does not mix well with the graz
seed. The various kinds of grass see
may be mixed before sowing.-Rart

No Time for Anything.

The great difficulty in this country is,
that we have no time for anything. The
very walk of an American shows that he
is in a hurry. An Englishman buttons
his coat and goes to business as deliber-
ately as he goes to church. An Ameri-
can business man flies after the car,
struggling with his coat-sleeves as he
runs, plunges in head-foremost, and
plunges out at the other end without re-
gard to his neck. Chief among orr acct
dents stands those which occur because
people jump upon flying trains or after
departing boats. To wait ten minutes is
something not to be thought of. Dinner
is not eaten, it is swallowed whole; and
when one ONE to the desert he finds
the fruitIwas picked before it was ripe.
Everything is hurried through from the
building of a house to the curing of a
ham. The women who work on sewing
machines stop before they come to the
end of the seam. The dressmaker sends
home your dress with basting threads in
it, and no loops to hang it up by. There
is none of the slow, sure completeness OF
the old world about anything, and even
fortunes are generally made in a hurry.
and lost in the same way. If any man
we know is getting rich by the slow and
patient process of saving, be sure that he
! was not born upon this continent. Yet

Cabinet or ParlOr Organs.

These have become the most popular
of large musical Instruments. There are
now about two hundred and fifty makers
of them in the United States, which pro-
duce more than forty thousand organs
per annum. Most of these are very poor
instruments. This is naturally so, be-
cause there are few articles in the manu-
facture of which so much saving can he
made by the use of inferior, improperly
prepared material, and inferior work
manship, and yet which, when finished,
show 50 little difference to the average
purchaser. The important parts of an
organ, made as well as they can be, cost
two or three times as much as if made as
low as possible. Yet, when the organ is
done, it is not easy from casual hearings
to tell the difference between the best
and a very poor one. Especially when
shown by one who knows how to cover
up defects, to one who has not special
skill in such matters, it is not difficult to
make d poor organ appear a good one.
The temptation to makers, then, TO
produce, at a fraction of the cost, an or
gan which will sell almost as well as a
good one is almost irresistible. Hence
the fact that 50 few good organs are made
and 80 many poor ones, and that the
country is flooded with peddlers and
dealers selling these poor organs, which
pay such large profits. The buyer of the
poor organ does not fail to find out his
mistake after a while. The thin reedy
tone of his cheap organ soon becomes
offensive: it works noisily and roughly,
is constantly out of order, and become.
useless by the time a really good instru.
mcnt would have been getting into it,
prime. \ good organ ought to last &
generation, at least a poor one may last
: five years, with considerable tinkering, OF
break down much sooner.
There is one safe way. Get a genuine
| production of one of the very best max
crs and you cannot 60 astray. Among
= these undoubtedly stands pre-eminenr
the Mason x Hamlin Organ Co, who's
organs are so well known that otheI
t makers are generally content to claim
4 that they can make as good an organ a
the Mason & Hamlin. They invented
| and introduced the Cabinet or Parlo-
| Organ in It's improved form, started will
and have always closely adhered to tn,
policy of making only the best work
have shown such skill as have giveI
their organs the highest reputation. no
only in this country but also in Europe
At the great exposition at Vienna, il
competition with eighty of the best max
! ers in the world, they obtained the high
est medals. TO enumerate the compe
titions at which they have received
: similar honors would he % give a list o
E the fairs at which they have exhibited
and to mention the prominent musicians
, who recommend their organs as un
; equaled would really be to give a yer,

names in the country, with a good repre-
sentation in Europe.
One who obtains a Mason q Hamlil

Strip it of its skin and cut it in pieces
about the size of ones hand; place it in

RESTORATIVES Fol THE SICK.-Bake
two calls feet in two pints of water, and
the same quantity of new milk in a jar,
closely covered, three hours and a half.
When cold remove the fat. Put in what
ever flavor is liked; the flavoring can be
baked in it; a little cinnamon, lemOn-peel
or mace; add sugar after.

1t is seldom that one sees so much valuable matter
as the following lines from pr. Chase's Recipes con
tain. comprised in SO brief r space. Every Young
gramnuarian and many older heads, will find Ii highly
advantageous to commit them to memory, and ever
after avoid installing a part Of speech.
1. 'Three little words YOU often see.
Are articles a, an, and the.
3. \ nouns the name of anything,
As school or garden, hoop or swing.
5. AdjectiveS tell the kind of noun,
As great, small, pretty, white or brown.
1. Instead of nouns the pronouns stand
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
;. Verbs tell of something to be done,
To read, laugh, sing, count, jump or run.
6. How things are done the adverbs tell,
As slowly, quickly, ill or well.
Z. Conjunctions join the words together
As men and women, wind or weather.
s. The proposition stands before
y noun, as in or through door.
9. The interjection shows surprise,
As oh! how pretty, ali how wise.
The whole are called nine parts of speech.
Which reading, writing, speaking, teach.

Consumption: -
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will
occasion the death Of the patient they lock up the
liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage
follows, and in fact, they clog the action OF the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes oil
two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many per-
sons complain of a duh pain in the side, constipation,
coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-blade, feelings 0i
drowsiness and restlessness, the food lying heavily
on the stomach, accompanied with acidity and belch-
ing up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a dis
ordeged condition of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons so effected, il they take one or two heavy
colds, and If the cough in these cases lie suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged
remaining torpid and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are a mass OF sores, and
liberated, the result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonary Syrup is an expectoran
which does not contain opium or anything calculated
TO check a cough suddenly.

A Bit of Horse Biography.

There is an undeveloped force in the
bone, brain, nerve and muscle of the
American horse which is well worth con-
sidering. Flora Temple was the first
horse that ever beat 2;20; and compared
with what had been done by any horse
fifty years ago, the achievement was a
little short of a new and remarkable rev.
olution of equine power. At the age of
four this mare was sold by Samuel WEIGH,
near Utica, n. Y, to William II. Cong
don, of Smyrna, in the same state, for
thirteen dollars, because she was an I'M
promising, unmanageable little thing.
Mr.. Congdon was glad to get rid of her
for sixty-eight dollars. After one or two
more changes not noted, she passed into
the hands of Mr.. Jonathan Vielee, of
Duchess county, at S175. He took her
to the city of New York and sold her ia,
George f. Perrin for $3.50. In 1850 Jnof
f. Perrin bought her for 1915. In 1858
she trutted a mile on the track at Kala-
mazoo in 2:193. Flora Temple is -stif-
living, and is strong and vigorous at the
age of thirty. During her turf career
she won 70 races, mile heats, IL two mile
heats, and 2 of three miles. She and
Goldsmith Maid will be shown at the
centennial.
That non-pedigree blood should de-
velop such vital force and improvement
of organization need surprise no one, for
all blood in men and beast has a begin
ming, and its virtues whether good or
bad are transmissible to offspring. Hence
a foal from such trotters as Goldsmith
Maid and Flora Temple, with correspond
ing sires, have peculiar value, and in the
course of a few generations may evolve a
faculty of great constitutional and he
reditary merit. Properly speaking, revo-
luton belongs to a race or species, never
to individuals. Individuals die in a few
years unavoidably, w~hilespecies live, and
may improve for unknown milleniums.
Sheep whose progenitors gave the careful
shepherd only n pound of wool a head
a year, now clip twelve pounds every
twelve months; while the best breeds
promise feeces in the future thatewil
weigh twenty pounds. Evolution would
do infinitely more for man, his horses
sheep and cattle, if unwise traditions
customs and habits, did not interpos,
obstacles to prevent.
