ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

Cost of Expediting Mail Rautes.
CHICAGO, Aug. IA Washington spe-
cial says the footings to tables at the
Postofice Department It, showing the amount
paid for expedition under Assistants Tur-
ner and Brady, are both interesting and
significant. Under the route, during two
wears and six months, 10 Star routes were
expedited. The annual pay was S3l2, 27S;
expedition, STATE Tyner, in one year
of his service, expedited only five routes.
The annual pay of these was S27 ,533; ex-
petition, only So, $50. Brady's record for
three years and ten months, only four
months longer, shows that he expedited
119 routes. The annual pay of these was
SSO9,133; expedition S1,411, SIS. No con-
clusion was reached before the President
left in regard TO ex-senator Spencer. 1t
was thought best to delay action for a few
days, in order that time may elapse for
Spencer to send an explanation of his neg
lect to answer the subpoena.

Increased Demand for Fine Cattle.


The number of American buyers now
in Europe in search of fine cattle is
larger than at any previous time, and
indicates the tremendous strides which
the live stock business is taking. The
majority of these purchasers are from
the West, and there is apparent wide
spread desire not only to increase the
herds, but to greatly improve the quail
ty of American beef. Nebraska, Kan
sas, Iowa and Missouri are represented
among the searchers for animals of
individual merit, and the spring ship
ments of pedigree cattle from England
and Scotland will be very large. Foreign
advices indicate the growing popularity
of the Polled-Augus or Aberdeen cattle.
Many American buyers are looking
over the best herds in Scotland, and in
securing the choice individuals are COM
PEELED to pay fabulous prices. It is evil
dent that the victory won at the Paris
Exhibition by the black hornless cattle
has finally resulted in what may be
termed a craze for them. Within the
past six months prices for cattle of this
breed have increased almost threefold,
and it is questionable whether the sup
ply of desirable animals will supply the
demand on this side of the water, to say
nothing of the increased demand for
them in European countries, particular
ly in France. The breeders of short
horn cattle are also threatened with q
dearth of good stock. The English
herds are being rapidly depleted, and
first-class stock is bringing outside pri-
ces. The competition of the past four
years, since the Hereford and Polled-
cattle fanciers have demonstrated their
strength, has resulted in an increased
demand for pure-bred ShOrt-horns, and
while American breeders are placing
excellent stock upon the market, the
best known and most successful English
breeders are receiving large and
frequent orders. The rage among
American breeders is largely CON
fined to the production of a high
class of grades, and the struggle
between the friends of the various beef
breeds has become one in which the
public are deeply interested. The re-
suit of this controversy will eventually
do away with scraggy beef, and, if the
fight continues to grow in intensity, it
can not be many years before the great
ranchmen of the plains viii be COM
PEELED to pay still greater attention to
the quality of the sires used upon their
native COWS. There has been a very
great improvement in this respect, as
the receipts at all the Western markets
conclusively prove, yet there is room
for further improvements Chicago Tn

SHALLOW Cultivation for Corn.

/ think there is a suspicion getting
possession of the minds of even the
best farmers, that there are some secrets
about successful corn growing which
very few, if any, are master Of The
roots of almost the whole grass family
feed near or at the surface. In the case
of wheat, we have only lately learned
the secret of success to be a COmPacted
subsoil, lying under two or three inches
of clean, fine seed bed. And in regard
to rice, an aquatic p!aut. / was in
formed that among the essentials of
successful cultivation, the leading one is
that the land must not be plowed be-
yOnd a depth of two or three inches.
On the black prairie soil the best oats
are grown after the shallowest kind of
plowing-deep stirring of the soil re-
sulting in an oveHgrOwth of straw; im-
perfect filing Of the heads, and, in case
of humid weather, rust, lodging and
loss of the crop. The improved prac-
tees in corn cultivation recognize the
same principles in the main. The best
corn is now grown on fall-plOwed land,
which is stirred no deeper in the spring,
previous to planting, than to make a
few inches of mellow seed bed-and the
first acts of cultivation consist in rolling
or drag-planking if the soil is dry and
cloddy, and if not, narrowing as
soon after planting as may be,
then rolling and keeping the har-
row going-and postponing the
use of the shovel pillow or the cultivatOr,
till the plants are four or five inches
above ground. All this, except the pre-
Eminary preparation of fall blowing,
which is done long enough before to
allow the soil to become well settled
together, is really the strictest kind of
surface cultivation. The question is
whether or not shallow cultivation of
corn should be continued all the way
through. The latest Investigations of
vegetable Psychologists instruct us that
in corn and all the cereals every ele
ment, whether organic or inorganic,
save water, which goes to perfect the
ear and fill out the kernels, has been
stored up in the leaves and stalks and
other parts of the plant, by the time it
has reached the blOssoming stage, and
that the processes of the development
and ripening of the ear are simply those
of a transfer of these elements to their
appropriate places. If such be the fact,
it demonstrates the Uselessnes of cult
walton after a certain stage, and sug-
gests further, that when growing, any
kind of cultivation which interferes
either with the development of the roots
or other parts of the plant, may be in
furious, in the measure and extent it is
practiced. In a few words, if it were
possible to master the weeds without it,
could we not grow corn with as little
work after seeding as we do wheatP-

Origin OF Timothy Grass.

Henry Stewart gives these two as the
most commonly-received stories of the
origin and naming of timothy grass. 1t
goes, he says, that timothy grass was
first cultivated to any considerable ex-
tent by one Timothy Hanson, of New
York, who carried the seed to North
Carolina. But this grass is also called
Hurd's grass in New England and the
adjacent borders of New York State,
and the possession of this name is at
tributed to the fact that man named
Timothy Hurd found the grass growing
wild in a swamp in New Hampshire,
more than one hundred and fifty wears
ago, and recognizing its value, began to
cultivate it. The elaborate and extend
ed experiments of Sir Humphrey Davy,
under the patronage of the Duke of Bed
ford, about forty years ago, showed ii
to be the most nutritious and valuable
of all the meadow grasses. Mr.. Stew
art adds: The cultivation of timothy
should be made as serious a business as
that of any other important crop. Grass
is the most important crop we produce,
but is rarely given the care and attenr
ton it deserves. The peculiar growth
OF timothy requires a somewhat thin
seeding, because the stools need room
to spread in Without this room, and
with a dense sod, this grass is smoth-
cred, crowded out and perishes. On
this account it is not n grass for pernia-
nent meadows and pastures. For these
we require other varieties that spread
by running roots, butyet timothy should
be one of the kinds sowR for permanent
grass. 1t requires some years for the
thick sod of pasture to form, and while
the less robust grasses are occupying the
soil the timothy contributes its valuable
support to them and helps to fiji the
ground. Where it is moved, az least
four inches of stubble should DC left TO
protect the roots from tho sun and dry

Clearing Muddy Water with Alum.

1t is not universally known as it should
be that muddy water may be cleared
with a comparatively very small quaint
ty of alum. 1t is = peculiar property of
this substance that, when in solution, it
will combine with the most foreign par
ticles in suspension, or even in solution.
In fact, on this property is founded the
man -facture of the lakes used in paint
ing, the dissolved colorinC matter being
precipitated by alum. In the same man
ner, all dirty coloring matter in pailful
of water may be precipitated by dissolv-
ing in it piece of alum as small as a
hickory nut or even smaller, according
to the degree of impurity of the water.
Simply dissolve the alum, stir up, and
let it settle. Along the Missouri and
Mississippi Rivers this method is fire.
quently employed. When no excess Of
alum is used this also is mostly carried
down in the deposits. -Hoatsehold.

The Press and the New ana Great south,


The States of the South, acting after the
manner of the great railroads, have opened

sources and attractions, in New York, aud
London and other European cities. The

and manufacturing interests of the South
and West for free exhibition, and for the in
formation of intending emigrants.

themselves to note the growth OF their re-
Epective centers, and the special excellence
OF its manufactured products. This is a duty
which the press fuifills all over the world,
and one of its highest missions and services to
the people. The supremacy OF the West in
agricultural machinery is now conceded all
over the world, and the CHARTER OAK
STOVE WORKS has pushed St. Louis to the
front in this industry; but this superiority is

Her bonny wee, brown-eyed baby!
She lets her spiuning-wheel rest,

She holds her first child 10 her breast.

But Grandma head drOops lower,
And, think, with tear-dimmcd eyes,
She sees, far away in the ChurCh-yaUd,
Where "a little green mound lies.
OH the little blue cradle is empty;
And GrandmHs arms are. too,
But they feel so heavy and istless,
As they never used to do.
Sorrowful, lonely and silent,
She hears her little one cry,
And she thinks he is frctful without her,
So far away i'm the sky.
And she wonders, with fcverish longing,
" DO they give him a mothers CarcI
DO the angels curl on their fingers
The rings of his golden hair2 ,"

And her step was never so light,
Her cheeks were q tribe paler,
