OATS FOR HAY.

Wa. Wade, of Trumbull eoanty,
Ohio, tells Of an experiment OF his
III sowing oats TO cut green and cure
for hay. He says:
"Neighbor S. came along just as
L had commenced moving them,
ana advised me to let them stand
until they got ripe. aud have good
crop of grain, and straw too. saying
that If | cut them then, while the
grain was just coming into milk.
| wouli lose the grain and the straw
would be no better than if the grain
had ripened. As he was an older
man, l listened to his advice meek
ly, of course, and then tried to ex-
plain to MIN my theory, .that, rs the
oats had now got their growth, the
substances or Juices that form the
grain were in the stalk, and if cured,
what | did not have in the head |
would have i'll the straw. But he
said that looked too much like book
farming for him. Another neigh
Dor came along and wanted to know
what in the. world l was moving
those oats for. / told him to make
good feed for my cows in winter.
He thought I would make more
feed for rats than cows. But l cut
my oats and put them IN the NOW,
and now nave the satisfaction Of
seeing with what keen relish M
stock eat them. Permit me to adj
wise my brother farmers to SOW a
piece OK oats to cut green and cure
for hay. Prepare the ground thor
oughly and SOW from three to four
bushels to the acre, and cut when
the most forward grains come in
the milk. Grange Bulletin.

Sweet Mamie. always bright ana fair,
With golden waves of arburn hair,
And with a lovely face that glows
Still fairer than the white moss rose,
Thy hearts as chasle, with worth untold,
And pure and true as FURNISHED gold;
Thy charms of mind shine forth more

Than diamond gems rejecting light
May thy future days in calmness glide.
And bliss flow in with the ebbing tide;
May blessings rare, and joys be given,
With peace on earth and bliss in Heaven.

The expenses OF hoeing and cul-
tlvating sorghum is greater than
that OF field corn, and it is both
laborious and discouraging to those
who are accustomed to the quick
growth and regal increase of that
great crop. TIE soil best adapted
to it is sandy loan, though l. will
grow on any soil that will produce
Geld corn; recurring crops OF il for
several years in succession show no
deterioration, if the ground be kept
free from weeds, and their seed drop
prevented.
A manure containing a large per-
centage of sulphate of potash, So
lube phosphate of lime, and not
much ammonia, has been decided
by the experiment station to be the
best for stimulating cane growth. =

he has. In making these enquiries

CITIZEN AND TAXPAYER.
In reply to tie above communi-
cation we will state that Mayor
Randolph called meeting of the
Council on Friday night, the
4th inst, and although we were
Secretary at the time, and had
all the books of the Council in cur
possession, we were not notified
of the fact that there was to be
meeting and an election of officers.
Having been Secretary of the Coun-
Gil for the last three years, and, SO
far as we know, given universal salts
faction, it was our intention to run
for the Office again, had we been
given the opportunity of doing SO.
While we held the position We
kept the books of the Council, male
out the annual license and tax ILLS,
published the proceedings and all
municipal advertisements, for tle
sum Of five dollars per month, and
never heard any complaint made
against us. We were therefore
greatly surprised when we learned.
several days afterwards, that new
had been elec.sd, with
out giving Us q chance to present
our name as e candidate for re-
election. We can give no reason
why this was done, but leave the
public to form their own opinion
about the matter.

For long time the experiments
made to produce sugar from maise
ana sorghum have occupied the
time and attention of scientific and
practical men. Much of the atten-
ton of the late Commissioner OF
Agriculture was given 10 the grow
ing of sorghum and the manufac-
ture of sugar from it. And though
many hings have been made at
these endeavors, they have deyel-
opei much that was important for
cane growers to know.
In the East, people do not real
ize the extent to which this branch
Of agriculture is carried on In the
West, especially in Kansas and the
adjoining States. We have seen
very good grained sugars manufac-
tured by the common methods of
the ordinary cane mill and efficient
clarifying. That it might be made
much more profitable than it is,
there is no doubt.-National Far
