SHEEP AND THE MEAT SUPPLY.
RYE As A FODDER PLANT.

Rye gets woody and tough when
the grain is suffered to approach ma
turity. Therefore, for fodder, it must
be cut before the head appears. In
our climate early sOwn rye might be
cut twice, in time for a crop of millet,
sorghum or COW peas to be grown on
the same land. The first time it should
be cut before the head forms in the
sheath. It may be Is to u inches
high, and if thickson the ground, will
produce one or two tons Of cIued fOd-
der to the acre. The second cutting
may be about one week before bios
sDining II should be cured same as
hay-partly cured in swath and then
put In cocks to finish.
Accordin TO the analysis Of DR..
Wolf, Of Germany, rye fodder contains
as large a percentage of albuminoids
and carbO-hydrates-in other words,
is as nutritious as hay from timothy
grass. 1t has the great advantage
that it furnishes the earliest food in
spring.

Beyond the Hills Observation-Disclosures they may

And far beyond the moondowns, and sundowns
and the msts.
In sempiternal beauty lies the land Of Fancy
free.
And thither go my gladdest thoughts to hold
their happy trysts.
But how they go and where they go I'm sure I
cannot say,
For quicker than the flicker Of star fash they
there;
Where fields Of golden lilies spread to greenest
ellis away,
And foam OF yellow sunshine bubbles in the
roses rare.
And there they dance and rend our flower bells
and ferns,
And bump against the butterflies that filter to
Ond fro:
And drink from honey-suckle cup the dew that
IN II burns,
And help the blithe, capricious wind her
bugie-hOrn TO blow.
They whistle with the hooking bird its merry,
madsOme lays,
And ride upon the thistle downs waltzing
up the air;
And slide upsn the gossamers shat dangle from
the sprays.
And tumble with the humble bee DER bridal,
blossoms fair.

In various parts of her BODY. a hys-

two Years after she had swallowed
them. The above related cases were
not unattended with any painful
effects, and one needle would b. one

There has been considerable unfs-
vorable comment upon the managers
of the Memphis. Selma 4 Brunswick
railroad, better known as the late
Memphis & Holly Springs railroad.
We are Informed that Mr.. J. W. Bus
by, the vice-prssident of the road, re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Wolfe, the
president, saying that work would
be commenced on The road as soon as
the engineers made their report. Peo-
pie and newspapers forget that road
is not made in one week. The engin-
GERS viii have their report ready by
next week. They have worked day
and night making up their estimates
The completion of the NJ, =. & b. rail-
road will effect great changes in rail-
road circles. Heretofore the VI. n L.
railroad has been the only direct out
let South. The Selma road will
become a formidable rival, intcrsecting
two trunk lines south, and itself
