These are excellent forage plants. and
farmers who desire to keep large
amount of stock on comparatively
small amount of land. They attain full
growth in shorter time than any field
crop that can be raised. Being natives
of warm climates, it is best not to sow
them till the last of June or the first of
July, as they delight in warm soil and
air. Nothing is gained, and generally
considerable is lost, in sowing them
early. If sown as early as most grains
their growth will be small. even though
they have the entire season to mature
in. If a farmer sees that his crop of
grass is to be small. he can make up for
it by sowing quite large)yof Hungarian
and mllet. In some cases good crops
have been raised on soil broken after a
crop of hay had been taken off. As
these crops completely shade the ground
during several weeks, they leave it in
excellent condition in respect to clean
illness. When first introduced many
reported unfavorable results from their
use. They were generally sown too
early to produce good crops, and cut
too late to leave the fodder in good con
dition for stock. The quicker the
growth the better is the quail
ity of the fodder for all
kinds of stock. If not intended
for seed, the harvesting should COM
mence as soon as the grain is formed,
and before it begins to harden. The
crop should be cut and secured without
allowing it to become wet. Injurious
results sometimes follow the use OF these
crops, on the account of the amount of
dust they contain. To obviate this the
stalks should be cut several inches from
the ground and gathered by the hand
rake, as the teeth of a horse rake will
raise and scatter large amount of dust.
Red clover is more productive than
almost any of the true grasses, and a
more general use of it for green or dry
food would be beneficial. 1t is more
difficult to cut, cure and preserve than
any of the wild or cultivated grasses,
and it is less desirable for food for
horses. But it is plant that enriches
the soil and enables it to produce larger
crops of corn. grain and grass. 1t fur
nishes an agreeable change from q diet
of hay made from the common grasses,
and is excellent for mich cows. sheep
and young cattle. When green it will
keep hogs in excellent condition. and is
the cheapest substance that can be
raised for producing pork. The plant
known as doura, Egyptian corn. or
branching sorghum is very productive,
and Notwithstanding the severe drouth
did well in portions of the far west last
season. where most crops failed. The
seed as well as the foliage of the plant
is valuable. The like was true of the
early amber sugar cane. although but
little attention has been given to it as a
fodder plant. By sowing rye in ground
planted to corn, when it is worked the
last time. a large amount Of green food
can be secured for late feeding. All
these crops viii help save hay, and
make it practical to keep more stock on
the same amount Of land. They will
also afford greater variety, and by SO
doing improve the general condition oil

FARM AND PRESIDE.

pint of milk. Flavor and cook as GUS

Among cattle the best animal is
that which converts the largest amount
of food into beef or milk of the best
quality. with the least possible waste Of
material.
Corn Starch Cake.-Two cups of
sugar, two cups of flour, one cup of
butter, one cup of corn starch, one cup
of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls of bak-
ing powder and the whites of six eggs.
-Decaying vegetable matter is what
sandy soils need to give them holding
power over fertilizers and make them
productive. The blowing under of
green crops is a ready means Of supply

tins. For inside-The juice and grated
peel of one lemon. two tablespoonfuls

egg, three quarters cup sugar.
How often do we hear women who
do their own cooking say that by the
time they have prepared a meal, and it
is ready for the table, they are too tired
to eat. One way to mitigate this evil
is to take about half an hour before din
ner raw egg. beat it until light, put in
little sugar and milk, flavor il, and
''tlrink it down." it will remove the
faint, tiredout feeling. and will not
spoil your appetite for dinner. Plenty
of fresh air in the kitchen does good
deal to relieve this trouble, and YOU do
not then take your dinner in cat the
pores" as Dickens old Joey declared
he took in the wine.
Stable manure will become over
heated, or rather dried, if left in heap
too long. 1t then becomes much de-
preciated in value. The best manner
of using it is to keep it in fat. broad
heap exposed to the rain, so that it
may be Kept moist, and to turn it occa-
sionally, SO that it may not get too hot
and dry. 1t should be trampled and
packed as solid as possible, when it will
heat only moderately, and after two or
three weeks, should be turned, SO that
the outside of the heap may be put
into the centre and have its share of
the heating and fermentation. If the
weather is very dry it would be advisa-
BILE to throw considerable water on the
manure to keep it moist.
Queen Pudding.-One pint of bread
crumbs, one quart of sweet milk, one
cup OF sugar, yelks of four eggs we'll
beaten, butter the size of an egg, CRATE
the rind of one lemon and add the
whites of the eggs beaten to q froth and
one teacup of white sugar. to be spread
on the top of the pudding after it has
been baked until done but not watery;
set it in the oven for a few minutes,
serve with butter. If needed for a din
ner-party it improves the appearance
by spreading on the top of the pudding,
when taken from the oven, a layer OF
preserves or jelly and then the sugar
and whites of the eggs over the jelly;
set it back in the oven and bake slightly,
to be served when cold; cut in slices it
is very beautiful.

The Marshall House.

This famous and popular hotel will be
kept open, as usual, during the summer
months, and guests will be provided with
the best products that this or other markets
afford. The table of the Marshall has al
ways been considered par excellence, and
particular and especial attention is given to
this important feature. The house was
never more popular than it is to day, and its
patronage during the past season has been
enormous. Mr.. Bresnan, the enterprising
manager, feels just pride in the charac-
ter of this patronage, which includes the
leading business men and farmers of Geor-
gia and Florida, and distinguished strangers
from all parts OF the country. Among the
regular patrons of the house, when they
visit Savannah, are Gov. Colquitt, Gov.
Bloxham, Of Florida, ex-Goy. Drew, of
Florida, Hon. 7. NJ. Norwood, ex United
States Senator, Hon. George r. Black, mem
Der of Congress, and many others. The
management is thorough, and in every re-
spect the house is admirably kept. The
rooms are large, well ventilated, and are
furnished In the very best style. Notwith-
standing the addition made to the house
last winter, there were frequently times
when every room was occupied, and
the establishment crowded 70 its utmost

should be SO popular, however, as such
courteous attention is shown the guests, and
everything possible done for their comfort
When hotel is well kept, has comfortable,
neatly, furnished rooms, fine table, and
managed by clever gentlemen, it cannot
prove otherwise than a great favofite with
the public. Travellers are quick to appre-
ciste comfort, convenience and good
living, and readily discover the
merits of a irst-class hotel, and only
is sufficient to convince them that it is Just
the place. We can, therefore, say to those
who contemplate visiting our city at this
time, or any other time, that they will find the
Marshall most desirable hotel at which to
stop. 1t is excellent in all its appointments,
AID is located In pleasant part of the city,
on thoroughfare that always presents
scene Of animation and liveliness.

A Big Bounce I'm CentFal-Hmportant
Meeting of Railroad OmcIals-Ru.
mors and SpeculatiOns.

Yesterday was an unusually lively day in
the stock market, and intense excitement
prevailed, especially in regard to Central
stock. Numerous rumors were afoat, and
various were the speculations advanced as
to what dividend would be declared.
The presence of Gen. E. P. Alexander,
Vice President Of the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad, In the city, and the informa-
ton that he would have a conference with
Col. Wadley and the Directors of the Cen
trail, was the pretext for the circulation Of
inuumerable rumors, many of which were
too absurd to notice.
A meeting was held about ten o'clock,
and lasted until nearly two. There were
present Colonel WadleE General Alexander,
Captain Raoul, Colonel j. j. Gresham, of
Macon, Solonel w. B. Johnston, of Macon,
II. II. Epping, of Columbus, G. /. Brown,
of Atlanta, and some of the Savannah
directors. Great anxiety was evinced to as
certain the result OF the deliberations,
but nothing definite was learned, and opera
lions were conducted on speculation. The
meeting during the morning was confined,
we understand, to a discussion of the varied
interests of the Georgia and the Western
Railroad of Alabama, and the other con-
nections of the Central, including the pro-
posed lease of the Port
Royal Railroad, and the policy to
be pursued in the future was decided upon
to be presented at q full meeting of the
directors OF the Central to be held to-day.
In the afternoon another meeting was
held, at which the subject of a cash and
scrip dividend was discussed, and a report
recommending action will be submitted at
the meeting of the Directors this morning.
We were unable to ascertain definitely what
had been done, but the indications point to
the declaration of cash dividend of from
to per cent, and at least 30 per cent. scrip
dividend. For several years, 1t will be
remembered, the stockholders of
the Central received no divi-
dend whatever, all the earnings of the
road being invested in improvements and
in purchases. The equipment now being
complete it Is but reasonable to suppose
that either a very large dividend will
be declared, or there will be an
increase of the stock with at least
eight to ten per cent. dividend. The road
paid no dividend when 1t was earning TWEEN
ty per cent, and now that its investments
have proven profitable, the impress
sion exists that the directors have
come to the conclusion that it is time
to give the stockholders the benefit of their
own property. This belief Is very strong and
is the cause of the steady increase in the
price of Central. The whole market now
hangs on the verdict of thirteen men, and
what will be the result can be known before
another sunset.
Central common opened Yesterday at 165
bid, 166 asked, and advanced five points,
closing at 40 bid, III asked, About
fifteen hundred shares were sold.
Georgia common opened at 179 bid, 161
asked, and closed at came quotations. Some
one hundred and fifty shares were sold.
Southwestern opened and closed at 147
bid, 148 asked. Some three hundred shares
were disposed OF.

hands were engaged in laying cobble stones
on West Broad street at the head of Bay,
the purpose being to pave from that point
down to River street and thence to the
canal. This is the thoroughfsre for all
vehicles passing to and from the Central
Railroad wharves, and the placing
OF it In good condition will greatly
facilitate transportation. At present
there are some portions Of the route in
execrable order, and general satisfaction
will be felt at the knowledge that the i'm
portant work commenced will be rapidly
pushed forward.
