Or chard grass (dactylis Glom
srata) has proven one OF the very
best and safest of all the pasture
grasses that we have tried. 1t is
but an Indifferent hay plant, yield
ing a light crop of woody, fbrous
fodder Upon very rich land large
crops of hay are claimed to have
been secured; but this result we
have never obtained, and the hay
has proved to US scarcely equal to
that cut from the prairie. But in
grazing it's valuable qualities soon
become apparent to the farmer
We feel confident that it will yield
fully twice the feed that can be oh
tanned from the same area of blue
grass or timothy, and in nutritive
qualities it is certainly greatly
superior to bluegrass. Orchard grass
Is one of the earliest grasses to start
in the spring, and the last to sue
cumb to frost in the fall. By Civ
ing it good start in the fall it will
furnish good pasture far into the
winter. 1t is consumed with great
relish by stock of all kinds, espec-
tally if the grass has been cropped
short. 1t seems to do equally as
well upon heavy clay and sandy
soils; and any rich and well-drained
soil seems suited to it. 1t germi-
mates about as easily as oats, and
with good seed no difficulty is ex-
perienced in getting stand that
will endure moderate cropping the
first fall after seeding. As might
be inferred from its common name
it does best when moderately
shaded, and is admirably suited to
orchard culture; yet there are few
grasses that will so well endure the
prolonged sunshine of our dry sea
son. For these reasons we feel safe
in recommending the grass to the
farmers of Central Kansas for the
purposes of the pasture. 1t should,
however, be remembered that or
chard grass will not make a sod as
bluegrass does. 1t always grows in
punches or tussocks, and to counter
act this tendency seed should be
sown with a liberal hand. Not less
than one and one-half bushels OF
seed should be sown per acre, and
two bushels would perhaps be better
We have usually sown a liberia
sprinkling of Kentucky bluegrass
seed with orchard grass, but almost
invariably it has been smotherec
by the orchard grass. We have
found that red clover does eX
cellently with this grass, and aid
in furnishing the variety of food 81
agreeable to the taste of animals
Orchard grass will endure late seed
ing better perhaps than any othe
sort, but this operation ought no
to be delayed much beyond tn
middle of April

An Affecting Little Sketch.

"Well, Hazel, don't you think you
had better shift onto the other knee
for a while?"
Hazel Quirk looked quickly up at
Lord Traverse Bay, the love-light
beaming forth from her eyes with
a tender radiance that told more
plainly than could any words the
deep affection she bore him, but
there was in the look a pleading
wistfulness, sense of trustful sscu-
rity, that touched his very heart.
She did not speak, but placing a
dimpled arm around his neck, drew
his face down and kissed him with
a soft, melting, tbree-for fifty-cents
kiss that she kept on tap only for
him, and then her eyes shone forth
again the love that her lips could
not utter, while the dropping
mouth quivered as if in pain.
'You are not well, darling" said

Stealing and Praying.

| Newspapers as well as men are
fond of placing capital headings to
a case such as reported in the At
lanta Post-Appeal, where an offense
is aggravated because a man stole
money and then prayed before go
ing to bed. Certainly, if there was
requ ired prayers for any man, be
needed it more than anyone else af-
ter stealing But that is not what
we object to 1t is the JUNCTION with
which papers parade that a theifis
praying man. Why do they not
report good actions, and preface it
with the information that the gem
tleman says his prayers before 60
ing to bed2 Mr.. Vanderbilt made
fortune such as was never before
achieved in one mans life, and he
was a praying man. Mr.. Wander
bilt endowed gIe eat southern uni
vcrsity for the Methodist church
and he was praying man. Noih-
ing of the sort is ever SAID, on the
contrary they used to say old Cor
ney, when a little mad, let slip an
oath, or something similar But
let christian man get in the miI'e
and his theft is but small part OF
head line. The attraction then is
prayers prayers! a theft praying!
''Oh We men of BIliai, your beam lis
so great you cannot see the mote in
your brothers eye.' This should
teach all christians to be on their
guard continually, for they are
watched an the time lest they may
get to heaven with false step un-
recorded. The bible, the only
book with a divine author, did not
hesitate TO tell all the slips and falls
of the chosen men of God. Jacob
was recorded as a hypocrite and
dreadful cheat and liar, and yet he
was blessed and wrestled with the
good Lord Abraham lied on Sa
rah and Isaac and Rebecca, and vet
they were not turned from their
Maker but walked with him. Da-
vid, Lot, Solomon, Peter, Paul, all
these holy men, did evil things, and
God told all future generations on
them, but he did it for wise pur
pose. He did not head the fact
with Peter lied like Turk and
Dragged like trooper" with a doz-
en- exclamation points, nor did he
preface David's weakness by such
as, David, the sly old goat, beat
Uriah out of his wife" No, these
were sorrrowful facts, and were re
corded not TO shame the servants Of
the Most High, but to show how
good men can fall and rise again,
thus serving as a warning for all TO
see their punishment, and also to
comfort the wicked, and show them
God can forgive crimes as bad as
tn eirs. But papers of the nine
teenth century are not actuated by
such motives in exposing the hyp
ocrites Of to-day. They want you
to know they do not steal, and yet
they are not praying men; they are
not hypocrites; they do not belong
to any church and yet they are as
good as so and so, who did, and yet
stole a sheep. 1t is about time for
this sort Of weak broth jubilation
over fallen christian TO cease.

Milford, Texas.

AS my first letter did not reach
the waste basket, 1 am induced to
write a second. The roads are al
most impossible even upon horse
back. The trees are budding and
the grass is putting up. The
number of students in attendance at
the Milford academy is about one
hundred-a good school for small
village. AS soon as the ground gets
dry enough farmers will have to go
to work IN earnest, for they are
terribly behind. The roads are in
such bad condition that our mer
chants cannot get their goods
brought from the railroad, but if
we can have a few days of clear,
windy weather, we can get about
without begging down. The winter
here has been very light. We have
had but one light snow and very
little Ice. Wheat is looking fine.
We are sorry to hear of the accident
occurring to Mr.. McCanless and
friends while on their way to Texas,
and hope they were not seriously
hurt. The smallpox has been rag
ing in a few miles of US. Corn
planting time is here and not grain
in the ground yet. 1t will soon be
too late to plant. Corn is worth
now rs cents per bushel, but we think
it will be cheaper when the grass gets
high enough for good grazing. We
have for one of our nearest neigh
bors Mr. Robert Clark and family.
Bob and his rifle are good for
mule-eared rabbit one hundred
yards. Tell Uncle Portor to send
out some more of his marksmen.
We will send the editor present in
the spring. We give you warning
for fear you run away when you re-
ceive it. So be on your guard
they will soon come out of the
ground. LITTLE SAM.

to be distributed among his suite.
He was. the first Roman who ever
wore complete dress of silk. His
shoes glittered with rubies and
emeralds, and his chariots were of
gold, inlaid with precious stones.
With the view to becoming a suicide,
he had cords OF purple silk, poisons
inclosed in emeralds, and richly set
daggers; but either his courage
failed when the moment arrived for
choosing between these elegant
instruments of death, or no time
was left him for choice. He was
killed in the eighteenth year of his
age, after a reign of nearly four
years, during which the Roman peo-
pie had endured the insane and de-
grading tyranny of a boy.

Farmers, ssed Exchange Clubs.

Editor Rural World: Several of
the neighboring farmers and myself
have often talked Of getting up what
we have called a Seed Exchange
Club. 1t is just what farmers need
"a cooperating club in every
county throughout the country
Let farmers unite add be a great
brotherhood, and all pull together
and work for one anohcr's interests
and save money and time.
Nearly all kinds OF seed will yield
better by being changed from one
place to another. Some kinds do
better in more southern latitude,
if obtained from a northern one,
and some do better in the north if
obtained from more southern
latitude. We have as good corr.
wheat, oats, peas, beans, and other
farm seeds as grow anywhere under
the sun. but it is better to change
them occasionally, to get them from
q different soil and climate. We
here would be glad to send any OF
our seed anywhere, in exchange FOR
similar seeds, or for different seeds,
and we believe farmers throughout
the country would derive the great
est benefit If such exchange clubs
were established. Itwould eacour-
age the boys to try experiments.
Ladies could be members as well as
gentlemen, or ladies could form
ladies' clubs, and exchange garden
and flower seeds. And these clubs
could go still farther, aud exchange
turkeys, geese, ducks, sheep. hogs,
cattle, etc. No harm could come
of such organization, and great
good could be derived.

Scarcity of IvorV-

Predictions are made in England that
ivory will soon become so scarce that its
use for piano keys, knife handles, and
fans will be reserved for the rich alone.
Of late there have been rapid advances
in the London market price of this
article, the latest advance having been
from $15 per hundredweight to $40.
while another is talked Of Only 81 tons
were offered at the last quarterly sale,
against the 122 tons in April of last year.
Of Cape ivory there has been continued
scarcity, while of the west coast of Africa
supply there is now much less In hand
than formerly. Stores in London docks
now amount to only 1873 tons, compared
with 213 tons of last year. One dealer
has just had invoiced to him no fewer
than 522 tusks, all of which he expected
a fortnight ago to dispose of by this
time. These tusks represent 276 ele-
plants. Facts like these are leading to
a renewal of the old predictions that the
elephant will before many years belong
to the list of extinct animals.

from the London Field.

I cannot say whether there was ma
tive breed of dogs originally in the Sol
ONION Islands or not, but have never
seen such miserable ours as now exist
there. They are bred by the natives
principally for their teeth, which, as we
mentioned above, are used as an inferior
sort of money. The animals cannot bark,
but make anoise not at all unlike baby
crying; they are small, short-haired,
yellow-colored brutes, and are as help
less as ladies' pets, and are mostly car
ried about in the arms of the women. II
separated 200 yards in the bush from
their friends, they begin their babyish
howl, and then the women actually go
back for them. We have never seen
them used in hunting; they always re-
main with the women and children. The
men dislike, and are often jealous of and
kill them.
