Finally, even if Postmaster Manning hon.
.stly believed the letter in question to be un-
mailable, he had no right whatever to send it
10 the dead letter Office, but should have re-
'urned it to me, the sender, because my name
was very legibly written on the envelope. l
was we'll enoug h known at the postoffce, re-
ceived all my mail in DIR. Hadra's box, and
was at the postofice at least three times day
between July 18th and July 2Ist. But the
true state OF affairs seems to be thus: 1t
probably had been neglected to send the let
ter, and when I: asked for it, instead Of ack-
nowledging the truth, Postmaster Manning and
his clerk pref rred to tell a falsehood, and
then. having once said that the letter had been
sent to the dead letter Office, they afterwards
did send it.

to the author.

clay loan.
.. Wheat likes good. deep. sof
bed. {
3. Clover turned under makes just
such q bed.
4. The best seed is oily, heavy, plump
and clean.
5. About two inches is the best
depth for sowing the seed.
6. The drill puts in the seed better
and cheaper than broadcasting.
z. From the middle of September TO
the last of October Is the best time for
sowing
8. Drilled, one bushel Of seed per
acre; If sown broadcast, two bushels per
acre.
Q. One heavy rolling after sowing
does much good.

gins to harden; for seed. not until 1t
has hardened.

An Ancient Library.

1t is now more than thirty years ago.
SAYS q member of the Society of Biblical
Archaeology in Knouledqe, since Sir
Henry Layard, passing through one of
the doorways of the partially explored
palace in the mound of Kouyuniik,
guarded by sculptured fish gods, stood
for the first time in the double chambers
containing large portion of the re-
mains of the immense library collected
by Assurbannipal, King of Nineveh.
The floors, to depth of foot or more,
were covered with thousands of tablets,
all engraved with cuneiform writing;
many in perfect condition, but the ma
jority broken into several fragments,
frequently widely separated and por-
tons apparently sometimes missing al
together The tablets were of various
sizes, ranging from one inch square to
about nine by six inches, by far the
larger portion alike in shape, some-
thing similar TO pin-cushion, or dog
biscuit, but occasionally resembling a
cylinder or small barrel. The lesser
ones contained, perhaps, only two or
three lines of characters; the larger
sometimes nearly one hundred. From
the manner in which they were heaped
together and broken, and the fact that
many have been found buried in neigh
boring parts of the debris, it is evident
that these chambers were not the
original depository of the tablets, but
that the library must have been placed
in some upper story Of the edifice Of
which they formed part. Then, upon
the destruction of the building, they
were precipitated into the position in
which the explorer found them.
Since that time, with but slight inter-
missions, this treasure-house of for
gotten past has been turned over again
and again, notably in the expeditions of
the late Mr.. George Smith, and still the
supply Of its cuneiform literature is not
exhausted. Until last year this discov-
cry remained unique but the persever-
ance of the British Museum authorities
and the patient labor of Mr.. Rassam
were then rewarded by the elimination
of what is apparently the library cham
Der of the temple or palace at Sippara,
with all its 10000 tablets, resting undis-
turbed arranged in their positions on
the shelves, just as placed in order by
the librarian twenty-five centuries ago
The contents of the library, so far as
they have yet been deciphered. relate
to commercial transactions.

Drying Up Cows.
American Dairyman.

Should dairy cows be dried off, or
should they be MIXED up to calving
time, if they are disposed TO yield milk
ton fiat, yes or no, would only betray
the ignorance of the speaker on the SUBJ
jcct of dairymen's practices and pre-
JUDGES. We know of no subject that
needs intelligent airing at the meeting
of our dairymen's associations this win
ter so much as this. 1t is well known
by all that no matter how great may be
the flow of a cows milk when she first
calves, if she goes dry too soon she will
prove profitable mixer. Indeed,
most dairymen would take a large-sized
surprise party if they would only test
the question as to the yearly yield of
the two COWS that gave the most and
least at the time of calving. This could
be approximated by keeping the dates
of dropping calves and going dry of the
different cows in the herd with their
various yields weighed and recorded.
What we started out 10 say was that
the strange part of this subject relates
to the practices and prejudices of dairy
men. In the country we find farmers
almost universally drying up their cows
with the fear of hurting If MIXED up to
calving time. Near the cities, where
milk is sold TO consumers, no attention
whatever is paid to the time cow is
due to calve. She is simply MIXED as
long as she will give it, and sold if she
goes dry too long before calving,
Breeders of dairy cattle who handle
high-priced cows are IN grave doubt on
the subject of drying off. They all
know it is a dangerous practice if not
done with care and diligence. If the
COW is neglected and forms milk in her
udder that is not drawn off she is sure
to suffer from the neglect, while good
mixers are almost certain to give milk
mp to the day of calving. with q pretty
general opinion that it Injuries the calf
and creates too heavy drain on the
COW. Can our dairy expounders at the
conventions lay down a safe rule to
pursue in this matter. Let them try 1t.
by all means.

A PrTIABLE HEIR.-There is little
child in England whom nature has
treated with exceptional cruelty. 1t is
boy who can neither see, talk, hear
nor walk. There is scarcely hope, if it
should grow to manhood. that it will be
little more than an animated clod, with
some intelligence, perhaps, but unable
10 take its part in any of the activities
of life. Yet this afflicted child is the
heir to the premier dukedom of Eng
land, and when its parents, the Duke
aud Duchess of Norfolk, are dead, he
will become possessed of immense es-
tates. BY the time he Is of age, large
portion of the city of Sheffield will be
his, % the leases given long ago VIII
then expire. His wealth, if divided,
would enrich ten thousand families. But
what strange freak of fortune that
this unhappy child, without any means
of communicating with the world
around him, should be in possession OF
property and title which, IL he could
use them, would make him one of the
most powerful mobiles of this century,

"BY HIS FRIEND.

A slanting slab of stone,
With MOSES overgrown,
Stands sentinel, alone,
Ger a mound;
Stray letters, half erased,
But family can be traced
Where shadows, interlaced,
Flutter round.

No long. drawn words of grief.
Beneath the wheaton sheaf
Make sad show;
A simple name and date
His British birth relate
And tell when cruel fate
Laid him low.

Letters that once were clear,
At the end;
