GRASS Is KING.

The Southern World, an agri-
cultural paper of high character
at Atlanta, Georgia, publishes the
following communication in regard
to Johnson grass:
Johnson grass ia a local name.
A man uy the name Of William
Johnson, once large planter in
our community. brought the seed
here and planted on his place, sd.
joining ours, II miles west of Sci
ma, Alabama. This planting was
done over thirty years ago. From
this it derives its name. In the
report of the Department of Ag-
rieultnre at Washington, for 1873,
il is called Sorghum Ilalapense.
There is y fair description of il
given in that report, but not very
hattering. Ii the writer of that
report were to visit our section
next June or July, and see our
fine grass farms dotted all over
the country, he will concur in the
opinion of n. h. Moore, of Angus
IN, Georgia, that it is to be prefer.
red above all other grasses known
to himatter forty years experience
in the different grasses. The re.
port says that this grass will grow
from five to six feet high, which is
no exaggeration. It can be prop
agated either by seed or by its
roots. Tho roots, after having one
seasons growth, will stay in the
ground all the winter and come up
early in the spring from every
Joint in the root, as there is an eve
like on the cane joint at every
root. The seed should be sown
in Spring, eitherin March or April,
and as late as May or the middle
Of June, and one crop moved of
the first year. The land should be
well broke and narrowed. Sow
the seed after narrowing and then
harrow in light or brush in. This
is our way. Another is to seed the
land IN wheat or oats in the Fall
and cultivate your ground in the
Spring, say April, with Thomat
harrow sow the grass seed ahead
Of the harrow. The quantity oi
seed per acre should not be less
than three.fourths of u bushel, i
you wish to now hay off the frs
year. 1t is very difficult to eradi
cate, but a great deal too easily
done, as it is n pity that it can b,
done at all, for why should maj
wish an oil well to cease flowing
We have been able to cut foul
crops this year from an old field
Johnson grass is strictly a summer
growth, very sensitive to cold thu
first frost kills il dead. Flrst.clasl
Johnson grass hay properly curet
is preferred to best Timothy in thu
markets where Il has been longes
used. The lands best adapted (,
its growth are rich, stiff lanas
creek or river bottoms ia fine foi
il. Overhows do not iniure it i
the water does not stagnaie it; il
such an event the water sours th'
roots and kills the grass. 1t vii
grow on thin lands, and no crol
ever paid better for liberal fertili
zation than johnson grass. Th'
demand for the seed has grow
steadily for years, ranging from
F2:75 to "a per bushel.
When you plant grasses do no
be afraid Of raising too much. /
yon cannot sell it in bales sell /
condensed in butter or beef, nut
ton, mules and horses. Sell il {,
our all.cotton friends for thos,
hard.earned cotton dollars, th'
very things they swap them 70
every year, and will not raise.

Insects in Brazil,

Mr. Ernest Morris, the young traveller
and naturalist, who has Just returned
from Brazil, repeats the general obser-
walton of explorers that the exuberance
Of insect life is the principal obstacle to
the enjoyment of sojourn in that part
of the world. Cockroaches swarm in
every house, despite the inroads of an
army OF spiders which sally forth from
every chink to prey upon them; scor-
pions are intrusive and dangerous;
small red insect called the "mecuim" is
an intolerable annoyance; at certain
hours of the day the air is black with
flies and mosquitoes; and ants are a
universal plague. To battle these last
named foes of peace Mr. Morris was
obliged to keep his entire collections on
hanging shelves, the cords of which
were soaked in the oil of copaiba. 1.-THE
most destructive ant in Brazil" says Mr.
Morris, lis the sanba. II will strip

are therefore regarded as friends, and
their advent is always welcomed Go

A Wilde Seance.

While Capt Foster was swapping lies
with Ned Fry, out at the Cliff house,
San Francisco, last week, Oscar drove
up with Mr. Lock, and, taking stain
ed-glass attitude on the balcony, was
for some minutes lost in contempa-
ton of the grand old ocean breaking on
the cliffs far down below him.
How grand the roar of the ocean,"
ne said, dreamily, to the captain.
The captain was little taken back,
but agreed that it was.
"Would any price be too great for the
glory OF watching hour by hour, and
day by day, through the placid waveless
days OF summer and the grand turbu-
lence of the wintry gale?"

Then Fry and the captain and another

Positive Men.

The positive maR is the man We ought
to elect 10 conduct our public business, and
YET a. rule he is left out in the eold The
man who is smooth faced, oily tongued 10
all with wh0m he meets, who Is ever ready
to talk about everybody else while with
you, and agrees to anything you say and
make You feel Is though you were the per-
fection Of wisdom itself he it is that gets
the Office You are not aware Of the fact
that he talks with every other person in
the same manner as he does with you, and
that he eheerfally comedies with every
man that mahgns and abuses you. You
are not aware that he Is everything TO every
man, and that while YOU are conyersing
with him, that he is slyly laughing to him
self at the ease with which hes fools you.
The positive man makes too many enemies.
He must. if he is straightforward, con-
sistent man, do just as his conscience die
tates; for him to fatter would be mean !;
for him to side with the conversation of
every man would be cowardly; for him to
descend To any tricks to secure Office would
be an outrage; for him to speak anything
but Gods truth would be disgrace He
would neither be found in questionable
places and with questionable people. He
would neither refrain from duty or 90
back on a friend, if he knew that such ac-
ting would cost his election In short, the
positive man is an honest man, from the
very nature of things it is impossible for
him to be dishonest. The very thing that
makes him positive makes him an enemy
of dishonesty, and it is a sad fact that very
few of our positive men fll our public
offices
