supply, for if one crop fails another may
take its place. Rapid growing annual grasses
are invaluable in this connection, for, as soon
as it is determined that partial failure OF
the ordinary hay crop is inevitable, there Is
yet time to supplement the winter stock OF
fodder by sowing Hungarian millet, and as
the time for sowing this grass is now al hand,
we add, to what we have recently noted on
this subject, the following remarks from
paper by J. D. Cook, of Genessee county,
n. Y:
My second years experience is additional
proof of the high estimate of the worth OF
this grass, though for fodder crop | would
recommend cutting it when fairly headed,
just before, if possible, any of the first heads
begin to turn. Properly cured and placed
beside the best timothy hay, it will be pre-
terred every time by cattle and horses.
With perfect confidence l would recommend
this grass to all who are fearful of a short
supply of fodder the coming winter and for
green manuring; the results have fully met
the expectations Of those who have tested it.
Sow about three pecks per acre, soon after corn
planting, on any land suitable for rusual spring
crops; cut and cure as customary in securing
clover hay, and, my word for it, the satisfac-
ton experienced in witnessing the avidity
with which it is eaten by all farm stock will
amply repay you for the trial"
THE WALKING GAIT.-We say to farmers
who desire to raise farm horses, look care
fully to the walking gait Of the sires. And
further, accustom your young horses that
are raised for draft purposes TO walk rapidly,
and to this end, if there il, any walk in them,
never allow them to strike trot. 1t is as
tonishing how rapid a gait can be developed
with proper training. Erchangc.
FARMING IN JAPAN.-Mr VIM. p. Brooks,
president of the Agricultural College in ia
pan and graduate Of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College says that the farmer in
Japan, in planting wheat, sows it in furrows
a foot apart, which are made with hoe, the
seed being covered at the depth Of three
inches; the laborers then tread it down by
walking over it. Liquid manure is applied
between the rows, and when the wheat is
grown, it completely covers the field, pre-
senting the appearance of a field sown broad
cast. They ppll up all weeds, and this thor
ough system is carried on in raising all crops,
Their aim is TO produce the largest crops on
a given area. They keep but very small
stock Of cattle hence the manure they use
is mostly night soil, and is they do not gem
orally own carts, the manure is carried ont
upon their lands mostly in pals by hand
From forty to sixty bushels of wheat is
grown upon an acre. All grains are planted
in drills and not sown broadcast. lie had
ridden fifty miles through one continuous
rice field and not single weed could he

seen. They raise inferior apples and pears
They train pear trees upon a trellis. They

THE CoMEr.-The comet is now plainly

THE CoMET.--The comet is now plainly
visible in the morning about an hour before
sunrise. The morning sky is now Won
drously brilliant. All the bright winter con-
steIlations are visible; and riding high above
these dazzling clusters is the planet Jupiter
now almost overhead as he passes the merid-
ian and outshining all other stars; while not
far to the west is the pale planet Saturn,
making beautiful triangle with Aldebaron
and Pleiades. Directly in the east, and not
far from the horizon is the great sickle of the
Lion with Regulus flashing like Il diamond
in the handle. The comet may be seen ris-
ing about half-past four, and in fifteen min
utes would attract the notice of the most
careless observer. 1t resembles the stream
er of an ali rora, but seems to be tinged with
the pink of the sky in that quarter. 1t rises
quite broad .snd brushlike, but by the time
it has compi etely cleared the horizon has
faded to slender pencil Of light, which might
then with some difficulty be traced ten or fif-
teen degrees, and which is slightly curved
towards the north; the nucleus is sharp and
in a small glass shows a disc of dazzling
Wilderness The coIuet rises about an hour
too late to "show up"to good advantage, but
it appears little earlier each Imorning and
is seen to little better advantage; and as it
is rapidly approaching the earth, it may be
expected for some mornings to be quite a
conspicuous affair-certainly will be worth
ones getting up rather early to see.

DIED-On the morning of the 10th OF Sep
tember, at the residence Of his father, three
miles south of Annapolis, little JOSEPH, son
of P. X. and Mary Thompson, jagged eight
years and nine months. His illness was of
short duration; he was confined to his bed on
Friday, at which time physician was sum-
moned, and all was done that could be, but,
after passing the night in restless slumber, it
pleased God to send his messenger and re-
lease little Joseph from this world of sor-
row, and angels welcomed his spirit across
the cold Jordan Of death. He departed this
life at the hour of seven O'Clock. Little Jo-
seph was of a mild and gentle disposition,
and will be sadly, sadly missed by his teach
er and schoolmates; his voice is missed in
the class and from the merry groups on the
playground, and oh! how much he will be
missed from the family circle when night
draws near and the remaining members of
the family are gathered around the fireside;
and vacant chair at the table-here is where
our dear ones that pass from earth are most
sadly missed, and the heart must fill with
emotions that tears cannot relieve. Alas.
how soon our earthly happiness can be
changed to mOurning-how oft the brightest
dreams of the future are blighted by little
coffin being suddenly brought across our
life's path, perhaps to warn us of death!
But the friends of little Joseph have the
same consolaticn-the sweet invitation of
our blessed Savior to all little children.
This little one for whom they mourn has
already joined the heavenly throng whose
robes have been washed white in the blood
of Christ. ''Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is
the Kingdom Of Heaven"
A FRIEND,

SPIRIT PICTURES.-One day last week Jud.
Chambers, photographer, took several views
in Arcadia, by the "dry-plate'' process.
Among the pictures was one of the Arcadis
College, from the front gate. He did not
develop all the pictures that day on coming
home, but some of them-the College view
among them-were not looked at for several
days. When he did undertake to develop
the College picture, he thought it came out
rather singularly, with figures that he knew
were not on the ground al the time the view
was taken. When he finally succeeded in
bringing out all the lights and shadows on
the plate, there were four figures "not &C.
counted for.' We have seen the photo
graph printed from the plate, and to say the
least it is a remarkable one. In the fore
ground, and to the left OF the broad carriage
way leading to the College, inside the gates,
are two female figures, shadowy but distinct:
one standing, and the other reclining. A
little further back, and inside the fence
which runs on the left of the carriage way,
is Il large statue, representing the bust of a
man. Then, tout of all proportion" and
covering the whole face of the College build
ing, is the shadOwy outline of a man or boy
on horseback, minus the head of the rider.
The natural parts of the picture are distinct
and well taken. This is hasty and incom-
plete description, and we refer our read
ers to the picture itself for further informa-
ton. There are those in town who insist
that ''the spirits" have something to do with
the matter, while ghost-believers fear, be-
lieve and tremble. A curious fact is that the
view covers part OF the old college grave
yard, now enclosed, but no longer used as a
cemetery. Who can and who will explain
the mystery? Mr.. Chambers declares there
is no trick about it, and is unable to account
for the presence of the shadowv figures.

At the September term of the Iron County
Court the Road Commissioner made and
filed plan and an estimate of the cost OF
building a foot-bridge across Stout's creek at
the Shut-in ford, near Mr.. Hutchins', and
the court agreed to build said bridge in ac-
cordance with the plan filed, provided the
citizens would get UP a subscription to pay
one-half of the cost for building same; in
that ease the county would build the bridge
and pay one-half of the bill. This is a fair
offer; so let some of oursgood citizens start
subscription and we will have bridge
that is greatly needed.
