Prairie Hay.

During the pioneer days of this county
many of the early settlers who still sur
vive had ample opportunity of testing the
superior qualities of prairie hay. as COM
pared with timothy, millet, Hungarian.
etc. Indeed, for several years wild
grasses were the main dependence for
that universal and indispensable article,
hay. In those days every man possessed
of the slightest thrift or enterprise was
sure to have an abundant supply Of up
land OF bottom grass, or perhaps both,
stacked about his premises, preparatory
to passing through one of those terrific
winters, which Of late years are of very
rare occurrence.
The horses, cattle and sheep which fed
on prairie hay were generally healthier
and less liable to diseases, considering
the many disadvantages existing in that
day, than to stock that enjoy the devices
and facilities of to-day for pampering and
deceiving, even though they luxuriate
on the best of timothy, millet, Hungsr-
ian, or clover hay. Having seen the
various good results produced by the sx-
elusive use of prairie hay, particularly
upland or blue-stem, do not hesitate in
pronouncing it far superior to any other
kind of prepared grasses. But especially
do I recommend and favor the use of
prairie hay for horses, inasmuch as it is,
in one very important consideration, not
the only one, but prominent among the
many, namely: almost entirely free from
several species of fines. dust and mold. I
have seen as good timothy hay, millet hay,
Hungarian hay, clover hay, and clover
mixed with timothy, which is very COM
mon thing here as elsewhere, per-
haps as good as is generally grown, and
I have never yet seen hundred pounds
of these named varieties but what were
more or less dusty, and not unfrequently
musty or moldy. All who have the care
and management of horses know how
exceedingly obnoxious and injurious
such hay is, and how its natural tenden-
cies to promote various peculiar diseases
or ailments; and how the horse with the
orthodox sustenance and treatment of
to-day, is absolutely subject to the thou
sand and one diseases that were compar-
atively unknown in the days of prairie
bay and pioneer accommodations.
The unnatural, yet at the same time
very essential, condition of the surface
of the soil, which is required to produce
the tame grasses, renders it wholly inn
possible to have hay that will compare
favorably with wild hay. Prairie hay,
if properly harvested, will retain its orig.
inal purity and sweetness for a very
great length of time, and contains suff.
Gent nutritive and life-sustaining quail.

Der that little over year ago the magnid-

Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, was entirely destroyed

kind of offenses which we do not even
comment upon when another class of
women commits them. The tale runs
that the Queen of Theseus compassed the
death of her step-son by extremely un-
pleasant and underhsnd means. But
Medea, on the other hand, killed her
OWE innocent children because their
father had offended her, got on comfort
ably in very high society afterward, and
finally received divine honors. Which
illustrates, perhaps. the average verdict
on the conduct of mothers and STEP
mothers.
1t is said that second wives are jealous
of the pale ghost of their predecessors,
and visit this jealousy on their children.
Women ought eagerly to confute this
libel upon their sex. 1t is often true
that older children are jealous of the
new mother; but this is usually because
they are taught this doubt by those
whom they love. Selfish and jealous
women will be bad step-mothers, Is they
will be bad mothers. But the proper
ton of selfish and Jealous women. is not
inorlinate, and the great host of self
denying, helpful and loving step-mothers
ought not to suffer vicarious contumely.
Their place is not an enviable one. But
in that future when the voice of common
sense shall silence the voice of tradition,
it is certain that men and women will
be ashamed to jeer at one of the most
difficult attempts, at one of the most
defenceless classes, of women.-Harper's
Bazaar.

There was an unusual number of peonle in
town last Monday, attracted no doubt by the
very large amount of land advertised for sale.
Nearly every tract offered was sold, and at very
reasonable prices-lower, perhaps, than was
anticipated.
Notwithstanding the crowd, the town was or.
derly and quiet. although there were signs of
whiskey here and there, and no arrests were
made. That some parties selling whiskey
on the sly, there can be no doubt, but how to
detect them has baffled the efforts Of the Town
