The Games Yesterday az tbe Riva
Parks.

The Games Yesterday at n Rival
Parks.
The Memphis Base Ball Association
opened their park to the public yesterday
for the first time. Central Park, as it is
called, is located about two hundred and
fifty yards east Of the Vance-street rail-
road terminus, and south aud adjoining
Humboldt Park. The grounds are beau
tiiully situated, but are not yet in first
class order. The managers, who are
gentlemen of enterprise, are plshing
the work rapidly, and in a few days the
field will be in good condition and the
accommodations for visitors all that can
be desired.
The game yesterday was between the
newly organized nine professionally to
be known as the Memphis Reds" and
the Eckiords (amateurs.) The playing

Juno Grass or Blue Grass.

The Canada Farmer recently pub
lished an illustration and description
of the qualities of this we'll known
but variously-esteemed grass. In
Kentucky the blue grass is considered
the very best of grasses. In an ad-
dress before Shelby county Grange,
published in the Farmers Home
Journal, Chaplain Blaydes gave the
following three prominent character
istics as especially commencing it to
favor:
l. Its capacity to yield an abund-
ant pasturage. This characteristic of
the variety named is apparent to all
whose attention has been directed to
the matter, as it will yield rich graz
ing the year round, and may be al
most classed with the evergreens.-
All this conspires to give it very
high place in our favor for winter
grazing. 1t is familiar fact that in
what is proverbially known as the
Blue Grass region, this grass has at
tanned very high state of cultiva-
ton, specially for winter pasturage;
while in an adjoining and sister State
Qndiana0 there are number of
counties in which this grass Is foster
ed with a view to both summer and
winter grazing.
2. Its fattening qualities are con-
oo1o5 Nv, oil fo bo aouo1 If NOT
superior, to any other grass, and for
cattle it has no equal among all the
grasses, giving rise to the most savory
of meats. Especially for mich COWS
does its excellence manifest itself, in
the rich flow of sweet and oily cream
from which the choicest butter is
made. l once heard a brother farmer
remark that he had u large woodland
pasture, set in blue grass, which he
usually used for summer grazing; but
being advised by a friend to cut the
pasture IN two and keep one-half of
it for winter-pasture, he was prevailed
on to act out this suggestion, and he
remarked that he turned about thirty
head of cattle Oh it in the early part
of the winter, and they remained on
it during the winter, without having
been fed any, except only when there
was snow or sleet on the ground, so
that they could not get to the grass.
"And," said he, "they kept in good
beef order throughout the winter. -
l mention the foregoing circumstances
as it is an attestation of the superior
tattening qualities Of this most excel
lent variety of grasses. Much more
might be said in this direction, but |
will pass on to the next prominent
feature of this variety.
8. Its capacity to hold the soil
from washing away is perhaps more
than double that Of other grass. EN-
bracing with it's net work of ten
thousand thready rootlets, it thus
clasps almost every atom of the soil,
and, when it has taken possession of
the soil, it admits of no rival, forming
a heavy, rich, green sward Oh the
surface. Thus, it may be seen that
or soil is safest from the ravages of
the watery element when in the keep
ing of this most beautiful variety of
grasses.

Raising Calves for She Dairy.

Moore's Rmol says: There are
various opinions in reference to the
best and cheapest manner Of raising
calves. We believe the best results
are obtained by giving the calf gen
erous treatment from first to last
A poor, stunted and halt-starved calf
will never be able to reach that STAN
dard of excellence that it would had
more liberal allowance of food
been made during its earliest days.
If calf gets a fair start on milk, its
food may be changed to whey by
adding porlidge of oatmeal, oil
cake, buckwheat, or something of
this kind to supply the necessary
constituents lacking in the whey
We have sometimes seen good calves
raised on small quantity of milk by
adding the liquor from stepped hay.
When the conveniences are had for
stepping hay and only a small guam
tity of milk can be had, this plan may
be resorted to; but if good, sweet
whey can be obtained, the porridge
OF oatmeal or oilcakc will require
less labor in its preparation and is
easier to be regulated as to the guam
tity required,
In butter dairics good calves can
be raised on the skim milk. Almost
every farmer has some peculiar no.
ton of his own In regard to the
manner of raising calves; but the
great and general fault in manage
ment is scanty allowance of nutri-
tious food in the early stages of
growth. 1t is important that the
young animal be kept in a growing,
vigorous condition, SO that when cold
weather approaches in the fall and
early winter it will be able to meet
the exigcncies Of change in climate
with good feed and care, and with
out special nursing to bring 1t thro'
the rgors Of winter. 1t pays well to
do the work thoroughly and in the
best manner at first, since if this is
omitted no aftor-treatmfnt will be
able to wholly countcract neglect
and starvation in the early stages of
growth.
The importance of growing good
dairy stock cannot be too strongly
urged upon the dairy farmers of the
State at this time. The difficulty of
getting good stock by selecting from
droves brought from distance is so
great that the raising of stock on the
farm where it is to be used is now
almost imperative, if good and pro
fitable herd is desired. Calves should
be selected from deep-milking ami
mails, and if these have been crossed
with thoroughbred bulls of good
milking families the chances are al
most certain that the calf will make
a good COW,
