The more I see Of ploughing down green
crops the more l become convinced of its
utility. Even ifthere is only short growth
SO that it covers the ground well, and though
young and tender exhibiting little manure
value according to analysis, yet the effect is
undoubted and considerable. 1t adds to the
fertility and improves the mechanical con
dition beyond what the means would seem
to warrant, though 1t is known that shading
the ground mcllows and cooIs it and thue
lessons what evaporation Of its fertilizing
gasses might take place. The vegetable
growth ploughed under also furnishes hum
us rapidly acting at the same time chemical
ly upon the soil, and in an advantageous
way from its equal distribution through the
soil Certain it is that here is a benefit and
profit on the outlay. This is especially
the case where ploughing can be avoided as
with stubble land where only the harrow or
cultvator followed by the harrow, need be
used to secure a seed bed. Where the land
is designed for spring crop, rye is perhaps
the best to sow, as it grows a heavy mat by
late fall, and if intended for corn, quite q
heavy growth can be turned down before
planting, if the soil is in good condition and
Its fertility not too much reduced.

Feeding Value of Oats beans, Maize
mud Rrnn.

Every good groom knows that sound oats
aud beans, in due proportion and at least a
year old. is a very good food for galloping
horse-the only food on which it is possible
to got the very best condition out Of race
hor c or a hunter. 1t has also recently be-
,oms known that horses do slow work and
g,t fat-indeed, too tat-on maize-1ndian
corn, which is frequently onethird cheaper
than the best oats. In the East, horses are
fd on barley, aud it is popular idea with
English officers who have lived in Persia
and Syria that the change Of food from bar
ley to oats often when imported, produces
blindness in Arab horses. Now, although
no men understand better or so well how tc
get blood horses into galloping condition as
English grooms, they do not, and few of theil
masters do, know the reason why oats and
beans are the best food for rputting musculai
flesh on a horse. The agricultural chemis
cps in here, makes the matter very plain
aud shows that if you want pace, lndiar
corn, though nominally cheaper, is no
cheap at all. According to DR.. Volecker'
and other chemists analysis, we find, il
round numbers, in oats, beans, barley an,
maize, the following constituents:

BY THE SEA.

My blue-eyed pet, with golden hair,
And gaxes eagerly Afax,
Acr1ss the beach, beyond The bar,
Where rolls the restless sea.
She puts her little hand in mine.
And lAughs with childish glee,
To zee the foaming billows splash,
As on the shore they 6ercely dash.
Then glide back silently.
But while she laughs 20 merrily,
My heart is tar away;
And, a. look upon the shore,
Where loid and long the breakers roar,
My sad soul seems to say:
-" The sea is like q human life.
1t breaks upon the shore
Of time with resistless might.
And. when the goal was Just in SIGHT,
Ules-tO return NO more.
' And all along the shore of Time,
Full many = wreck doth lie;
The p0ngs of many mad CarOuse,
of blasted hopes and broken vows,
OF happy days gone by"
Yet, while muse in mournful mood,
And gaze upon the sea,
MY blue-eyed pet, with golden hair,
Whose heart has never known q care,
Whose voice IL music in the air,
stall sits upon my knee.
Her head is resting ON my breast
Her eyes in slumber deep;
The same rough sea. Whose breakers roar,
And madly, fercely Lash the shore,
Has lulled my child to sloep.

If we are to believe one-haH of
what is claimed by recent inventors of
sugar-making machinery, it will not be
many years before our corn-fields will
yield all the sweets which the people
of the United States will need or care
to use. It will be well, however, for
our farmers to proceed cautiously,
and permit sanguine manufacturers to
make the sugar while they raise the
corn-stalks and sorghum. The new
processes of making sugar from corn
stalks may turn out to be no more prof.
liable than the making of beet-root SUI

The cane that had been trembling in
the hands of the late Speaker of the
Arizona Legislature now descended
with thud upon the head of Mr..
Tyler, who at once grappled with his
assailant. In an instant the spectators
in that part of the room were hurrying
out of the way of the two struggling
men, and chairs and benches were torn
up and cast this side and that. The
men went for each others throats like
bulldogs, and the spectators did not
seem inclined to interfere. At last Mr..
Tyler got his antagonist upon his knees
and dragged him to the jury-box, when
policeman (the Courts brother-in-
law, who had crowded to the front,
pushed between the struggling men,
and with the assistance of some able
bodied attorneys managed to separate
them. The Court had retreated to the
further corner of the platform out of
the range of any stray pistol shot that
might be fired, but when the struggling
men had been separated, came forward
and said, "Gentlemen must preserve
order. The court is still in session."
The Smith trial was continued until
the afternoon, and the Court stated that
such scenes as that just witnessed were
disgraceful and in contempt of Court,
and that Mr.. Tyler and Mr.. Fitch
might consider themselves in custody,
and he would examine the case of con-
tempt the first opportunity. The Court
then adjourned until the afternoon.

case of contempt would not be investi-

in order that the jury might not be in
