Growing Blue Grass.

A Kentucky correspondent of an ex-
change says the best time tosow blue grass
is in the fall, with wheat or rye, or alone,
as the case may be. But in case the seed
was not sown last fall, spring will do, the
earlier the better. He says:
There is no danger whatever that the
freezes will injure it after it has sprouted
If desirable to SOW on lands without any
preparation of the soil, any time will do,
after the seed is ripe, up to the 1st of
March. The above plan, however, of SOW
ing with grain in the fall is unquestionably
the best have never known it to fail. The
roots are delicate, and do not strike deeply
into the soil at once, and if sowed in the
spring severe drouth may prove fatal, but
if sown in the fall they get sufficient root
before summer, and will then defy any
drouth. The amount of seed per acre is a
matter of importance, and depends very
much upon the time or season of scattering
the seed, the preparation ofthe soil, and its
fertility in the spring. About busbel oil
clean seed ought, / think, sow one acre
and halt; in the fall, with wheat. the
same amount would be sufficient for two
and half acres. 1t is very good plan, il
seed is plenty, to scatter them as though
you were sowing for a meadow. Then the
crop will pay the first year or two better
than if sowed with less seed To those
who save their own seed would say there
is no better plan than to run the bundles o
seed straw as it is taken up from the NOV
through straw cutter, and then SOW broad
cast. If from any cause the grass should
appear too thin, don't be easily discourag
ed; for if bunch can be found to eacl
square foot it will soon make a stand. !
clover is sown with blue grass it should b,
grazed pretty close, as clover will smothe
it out when young if allowed to make
rank growth.

The New Horse Disease.
From the New York Herald. |

The nervous disease which broke out
among the car horses of brooklyn on Friday
last continues to prevail, and very little
hope is entertained of saving the lives of
the afflicted animals. The mum Der now sick
at the Gates avenue stable is forty. Fifteen
horses have died since Friday last at these
stables, and even if some of the present
sick ones should recover they will probably
be worthless. The animals die in about
twenty four hours after the first symptoms
manifest themselves. 1t is said by the
veterinary surgeons who are attending the
sick animals that the disease resembles the
cerebro-spinal meningitis, from which hu-
man beings suffer. The disease Is thought
to be caused by an unhealthy atmosphere.
The Gates avenue stables are old and in
ferior In many respects to the other car sta
\ for the large number of sick horses. There
have been four slight cases in the Reid
avenue stables and three in the Broadway
stables but TO deaths. The drivers say the
son of the year.
The reported mortality among horses il
Canada caused by new and terrible epi
zootic, coupled with the prevalence of Ger
ebro spinal meningitis in the stables of tn
Brooklyn Railroad Companies, has create,
alarm among the owners Of horses in thi
city. As yet, however, neither of thes
scourges has made its appearance here. !
few animals belonging to the Fourth aven
ue Railroad Company were attacked wit
a disease resembling the meningitis, bu
they have now recovered and there is Il
indication that it is likely to prevail to an
extent.

Advice to Business Men.

The Methodist, of New York, has the
following good advice to business men:
"The time has come to show faith and cour-
age in matters of business. There are no
great obstacles to prosperity. Almost all
articles are down to ante-war rates, and
many are lower. Economy in all classes
has made market at home; there are saw :
ings, and the old things are about worn
out Abroad our manufacturers find de-
mand for goods made at hard-pan prices
In sixty days from now there ought not to
be a lahorer out of work or mill idle. A
general disposition TO work for moderate
rewards, to risk on solid enterprises, to
push our business with the old ardor and
steadiness would change the face of things
in week. The rain is over; get out into
the sunshine"

Plant Vigorous Young Trees.
[From the Scientific Americana

From the Scientihc American.
On page 20 Of your current volume, you
advise farmers and fruit growers to buy
small trees rather than large ones. In q
general sense you are perhaps correct; but
practical pomologists know that to judge
rightly Of the value Of a tree by its rings
alone is quite impossible, there being other
conditions Of growth quite as important,
and even more so, than the relative size and
height Of its trunk and branches. Having
a pretty extensive experience in the plant
ing and growth of young fruit trees espe-
cially, ] have found the roots to be the
most important consideration, and the best
indication of vigor and quality; and were
/ compelled to purchase trees without see
ing them, roots and all, should much pre-
fer seeing the roots than the trees proper;
and indeed, with such evidence of their
quality, could not be greatly deceived. A
tree with a fine mass Of fibrous surface
roots Of healthy, vigorous color, and thin
small, rather than thick, broken main
roots, is sure to grow and thrive with any
sort Of fair treatment, and in almost any
soil; but without such 6brous roots, and

Spring Care Of Stock.

The judicious stock keeper will SO man
age as to keep his stock in good, if not in
thriving condition, all the time. He will
so arrange his feeding that they shall never
fall away in flesh in any of the emergencies
liable to occur on ordinary farms. He will
especially see to il that the transition from
grass to hay, at the beginning of winter,
shall be so gradual that stock shall keep up
their flesh and suffer nothing by the change,
and when the cold, bracing weather Of win
ter is succeeded by the warm, enervating,
depressing weather Of spring he will see that
they are furnished with such stimulating
strengthening food, that they shall be pre-
pared to endure the extra labors and trials
required of them.
With Cows, it is their season of calving
and lactation, and they need more nourish-
ing and Strengthening food than they dc
when dry. In addition to liberal supply
of good, sweet hay, they require little
corn meal or fine middlings, to keep up
their flesh and sustain a good flow of milk
and could they have daily rations of roots
such ae carrots, ruta-bagas. or Mangel
| Wurtzels, we think the sanitary effects
would be salutary.
Horses must be put to steady, severe la
Dor in preparing for, and putting in spring
crops, and will need an increase of muscle
forming food, or they will lose in flesh and
strength, and become untitled for the per
formance of those necessary labors fol
which he is fed through the winter.
Spring is very trying time fox sheep
1t is the season of yeaning and nursing
and they are very likely to grow weak anc
fail to furnish that abundant supply o
milk necessary to enable the young lamb tt
endure the rigors of the season, and maxi
that rapid growth necessary to fit him TO
the shambles at an early age, or, if design
ed for a wool grower. to clothe him with
good fleece at the first shearing. Ewes nee'
richer feed than hay, alone, during tn
spring months, and yet it is extremel
hazardous to commence feeding grain at thi
season. 1t is very likely to cause her
shed her wool. The proper way, undoubt
edly, is to give a little grain or mea
through the winter, but if that has not bee
done, it must be introduced very gradual
in the spring, so as simply to sustain th
flesh and strength without attempting to il
crease it.

Cochran, OF st. Clairsville. Bay Harry
was bought by DR.. Hancher for 1890, and
Hiatoga Maid was bought by Fred S. Fry
for $40. Sleepy George was not sold, but
bid of $500 was refused by the Sheriff,
he demanding a starter of 1900.

Ohio Should Be Recognized.
[From the Philadelphia Times.l

From the Philadelphia Times.l
The Times agrees with the rising War
wick, McMichael, that Ohio ought to be
recognized under the Hayes Administra-
ton. AS things now stand, that State has
little or nothing-only President, Chief
Justice who took the gown of another Ohio
Chief Justice, an Associate Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, the General of the
Army, the Lieutenant General of the
Army, the Secretary of the Tresury, vari-
GUS Chiefs of bureaus, and has ticketed
Stanley Matthews for the vacant seat OF
Justice Davis, Governor Noyes for the
French mission and General Comfy for an
other mission. We don't see how justice is
to be done to Ohio unless the adjoining
county of Beaver, in this State, should be
annexed to the Buckeyes. 1t could bring
to them Chief Justice, Secretary of the
Common wealth, the Collector of Pitts
burg, Congressman, Register of the
Treasury, and various other officials too
tedious to mention, and would go little
ways towards restoring the political equili
brium in the shamefully neglected Com
monwealth. As Hayes is wabbling about
considerably on the outside edges of the
Democracy, he might pay grand tribute
to Ohio by sending Governor William
Allen as Minister to Egypt to inspect the
pyramids with which his name has beer
indissolubly associated for some centuries
Vallandigham's untimely death has de-
prived Hayes of an opportunity to reward
a truly representative Ohio Democrat, bu
Allen will do, for what he lacks touching
the present, his traditions running through
forgotten generations abundantly suddly

having only two or three large nrtilated
horns or proIgs, and heavy stub for tap
root, which mus. from necessity have been
broken and skinned in removal from the
nursery row, the tree were better thrown
on the brush heap than given space and
trouble in the orchard. In view of the
fact that most Of our nurserymen work
their trees upon Seeding root stock and
leave them standing in the rows where first
planted, it is easy TO understand why so
large percentage fails to grow and thrive
when removed 10 our gardens and orchards,
and why in some cases, with the utmost
care and attention, SO many years of doubt
and uncertainty must intervene before the
fruit appears. In the deep fertile soil of
the nursery, they send down long tap roots
which, if left undisturbed, grow to the ex-
clusion of anything In the shape of ibrous
roots; and when the trees are finally remov-
ed for sale, this long tap root must of
course be cut or broken off, and it is thus
somewhat miraculous il the tree lives at
all.
To buy only small trees will not entirely
obviate the difficulty, although it Is in ev
cry way poor policy to purchase or plant
very large trees of any kind. But in pro-
curing small trees, il is very important to
know various other attending conditions:
whether they are small simply from a
stInted condition of growth and general
lack of constitutional vigor, or because
they are young, which of course is the en-
" admissible condition. ! have trees OF
three years which far surpass in vigor and
size others of ten. l would certainly pre-,
fer even large trees, if vigorous, TO small
stunted trees of like age. So it will be seer
it is not safe to rely upon small trees al
, together. A better rule would be perhaps
to buy young trees rather than small if
indeed, the matter can be narrowed dowr
to one short invariable rule, which l very
much doubt. Show me the roots of a tree

men are we'll acquainted with these fact:

Compulsory Education.

Much has been said for and against COM

there should be some means of compelling

has a number OF grown people who can
neither read or write, and this class is get
ting to be so numerous that in many cases
they control our city and village govern

Love Marriages.

\ marriage should only be consumated
when both parties are morally certain that
they are necessary to each others existence;
that life would be dreary waste without
the oasis of the loved; that the intended
one possesses all you admire and esteem, g,
and that the journey through life in his or
her companionship will be one of serenity
and Happiness. The union will then by
the endeavors of both, be attended with
all the JOY, contentment and happiness that
it is in the power of mortals to obtain here
below. Marriages are usually contracted
to satisfy desires, such as love, fortune and
position. The results are most truthfully
stated by an eminent divine in the follow
ing passages:
Who marries for love, takes wife, who
marries for fortune takes mistress, who
marries for position, takes lady. You
are loved by your wife, regarded by your
mistress, and tolerated by your lady. You
have wife for yourself,a a mistress for your
house and friends, lady for the world and
society. Your wife will agree with you
your mistress will rule you, your lady will
