Grass cured at the proper time OF
seeding is fully one-half as valuable
for feeding as corn is. An abund-
ance of hay is moreover necessary
to keep stock in good condition.
Good hay never hurts an animal, or,
l may qualify what have to say,
by stating that / never heard of its
doing any damage.
The waste too about the stable
is by no means a loss, as it becomes
incorporated with the manure and
increases its volume.
We shall gain from an acre of
grass nearly three times as much
provender as we shall from an acre
OF corn, and that of a most i'm
portant and valuable food.

Arthur a Millionaire's Familiar

Arthur is unique president. He
represents an element in American
society that was never before ele-
waited to such distinction. He is
the first president who seems to as
pire to aristocracy. Only one OF
two others had tastes that way, and
they appeared to modify them in
office. Arthur is the club man in
his manners, the knight in the ball
room, the hero who shines best on
the velvet carpet of fashionable
society. His manner is reserved
and patronizing. His attention to
the minutia of taste and ornament
is microscopic. Garfield was hearty
and forever unreserved, possessing
a grace of innate gentleness strong
enough to leave the strict rules OF
formality and to make the novelty
charming. He was a peoples man.
Arthur is the millionaire's familiar,
a companion for royalty.

The past open winter has taught
many farmers a lesson that should
have been learned long ago, that is
the cheapest feed in the pasture.
Grass lands that were not pastured
too closely last year furnished a
large amount Of the very best OF
winter feed and an early supply this
spring, while that grazed very close
last year has grown so slowly that
it has discouraged the farmer and
nearly starved the stock depending
upon it for food. The season last
year being very unfavorable there
was a great temptation, in fact a
necessity, for using all there was, so
that no part could be reserved for
winter pasture. The remedy is to
seed more land and reserve a part
for winter and early spring pasture.
The high price for labor renders it
necessary for farmers to hire as
little as possible, and we know of
no other way that labor can be so
proftably dispensed with as putting
land into pasture. 1t is safe to say
that few farmers have enough.

The lady teacher is lady in the
true sense One who is gentle, kind
and sympathetic, possessed of a digni-
ty of manner, propriety of language
and goodness of heart. She becomes
then emphatically a teacher. Her
natural taste induces in her hearty
and unfeigned devotion to her work.
This does not necessarily imply
either an uttered or expressed VOW
to spend and be spent in the school
room. Few women have ever made
any such VOW. To make it would
be unwise, if not sinful. But it
does mean putting into her work
while her work is hers the best of
heart, brain and body that God has
given to her, as opposed to the rest

Mr.. Giles A. Reynolds lost a cal
three weeks ago and came to this
office to see if it was here or if we
knew anything of it or could find it
We convinced him in less than
half a day that an advertisement
in the CITIZEN might find it and
then again it mightn't, and guaran-
teed that if he would order an adj
vertisement in, the calf would come
up of its own accord. He went
home and thought over it two weeks
and consulted his neighbors and
correspondent with relatives, and
finally made up his mind to risk
fifty cents. Hurrying before his
courage forsool1 him, he started for
town and for the CITIZEN office and
he had not gone a quarter before he
met the calf coming home, fat and
sleek. How wonderful is printers
ink, and how more penetrating
than a search warrant. Dumb
brutes obey even a threat to use it,
and brutes that are not dumb quake
to hear of it. The immense benefit
bestowed upon this gentleman and
the calf we charge nothing for.

So great is the influence of a
sweet-minded woman on those
around her that it is almost bound
less. 1t is to her that friends
come in seasons of sorrow and sick
ness for help and comfort; one
soothing touch of her hand works
wonders in the feverish child; a
few words let fall from her lips in
the ear of a sorrowing sister, does
much to raise the load of grief that
is bowling its victim down to the
dust in anguish. The husband
comes home worn out with the pres
sure of business, and feeling irrita-
BILE with the world in general; but
when he enters the coy sitting
room and sees the blaze of the
bright fire, and meets his wife's
smiling face, he succumbs in a mo
ment to the soothing influences
which act as the balm of Gilead to
his wounded spirits, that are wea-
ried with combating with the stern
realities of life. The rough school
boy flies in a rage from the taunts
of his companions to find solace in
his mothers smile; the little one
full of grief with its own large
trouble finds 6 haven of rest on its
mothers breast; and so one
one might go on with instance af-
ter instance of the influence that a
sweet minded woman has in the so
cial life with which she is con
nected. Beauty is an insignificant
power when compared with her.

Whenever you see a man sit
ing in frontof an Office or on curb
stone whiting a stick and talking
about the state debt, you may set
him down as lazy galoot that has
no crop, or if he has a crop the
fencess are rotten around it and the
grass is a prominent feature. The
Mirror is good country newspa-
per that keeps its eyes open and
"dont talk about nobody" in par
ticular. The chief objection the
dear lazy public will find to us is a
chronic "don' t-care- a damitiveness"
that will crop out in rough esti-
mates of small men occasionally.
We honor the brave and the indus
trious man and honor the true and
the beautiful woman all over the
land, but we have an everlasting
aversion to the over-crop of min
compoops that spring up like dog
fennel and get in everybody's way.
The kind of man the Mirror likes
is the man that works and attends
to his own business. We don't
care whether he is bod carrier or
a ditch digger or a priest in direct
line from st. Paul, if he is live
man and true man, with God AL
stamp, we give him our
good right hand and hail him as
brother. Go to work and let poll

they will not harmonic. If every man
goes there to carry out his so-and-so,
