AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Growing, Carrots.

Ut all root crops carrots are the most
nutritious and best for COWS and horses.
They give a richness and fine color to
the cream that nothing else fed to COWS
ever equalled; and in the winter a peck
or half bushel fed to COWS daily is as
good as, or better than an ordinary feed
of meal; and when we consider that from
500 to 1000 bushels can be grown upon
an acre, it needs no lengthy argument to
show that they are profitable. "But,"

THE LAST WORD.
BY MATTHEW ARNOLD,

Creep into thy narrow bed,
Creep, and let no more be said
Vain thy onset! all stands fast
Thou thyself must break at last.
Let the long contention cease;
Geese are swans, and swans are geese.
Let them have it how they will;
Thou art tired; best be still,
They out-talked thee. Missed thee, tore thee!
Better men Jared thus before thee;
Fired their ringing shot and passed;
Holly charged-and broke at last.
Charge once more, then, and be dumb!
Let the yictors when they come,
When the forts of Folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall.

TnternatiOnaI Ride Match.

America has again been victorious
in the International Rife match, the
shooting for 1877 having taken
place at Creedmoor on Thursday
and Friday last. The American
Team excelled each day at each
range, making larger scores than had
ever been made before by any team in
the world; their competitors, the
British team, also made better
scores than ever previously made,
but they were constantly outshot
from the very first commencement
by the Yankee team, and at no time
did they succeed in getting a lead.
The shooting was wonderful, at the
500 yard range, bulls-eyes were
made nearly every time by ma
jority of the shooters, several of
them making score of "A out of a

off little but not much; at 1000
yards again little, although Jew

made 7S out of IS, on the last day.
On Thursday the scoring at 500
yards stood, Americans, 56S; Brit
ish, 557; at 900 yards, Americans,
SAT; British, 5S7; at 1000 yards,
Americans, $40; British, 5S4; the
American team ahead 26 points.
On Friday the American team ran
right away from their opponents,
as follows: 800 yards, American,
SIS; British, 559; 900 yards, Amer
ican, 554; British, $50; 1000 yards,
American, $50; British, SIS; giving
the Americans lead of 66 points,
or total of 95. Blydenburg makes
the best record for the two days.
The first day he made the remark

TEAS.

The lovers Of tea will be gratified to know
that teas are lower in the great importing
houses than they were before the war. The
reduction has been brought about by the de-
creasing demand. When wages were high
the laboring man not only drank good tea,
but bought it by the pound, and the mod
erately well-off by the chest. Now it is diff
ferent. The laboring man buys it by the
ounce, and the better-off by the pound, and
many have been led to abandon the luxury
altogether. Then the course of the trade
has changed. New York is no longer the
great importing centre, for the western cit
les are receiving it direct from China and
Japan, via the Pacific railroad, and enor-
nous quantities have been rushed upon the
American market because of the improved
facilities for getting it. The importers
with large stocks on hand are suffering ter
ribly, and the fear is that the bottom is not
vet reached.
