More Grass.

Pastures are too limited in number
and extent Too much land which can
never be properly cultivated is lying
idle, or raising crops of peStiferous weeds
to we the seeds blown over the land
devoted TO crops. The pastures are
never too large, but they are nearly
ALWAYS overstocked. There is greater
ignorance in the proper management of
the pasture and more neglect of its re-
Quirements to make it profitable, than
proba Sly any other bran n of farming.
In our dry and hot summers it will not
do to have pastures cropped short. The
grass must be left long enough to form a
shade and mulch for the roots. Besides
the leaves of trees AMI the blades of grass
are their lungs. and limited growth is
male of roots. body or branches if they
are consta tly robbed of leaves and
blades. 1t is positively necessary for a
good and prolific pasture to have enough
of il 50 that the grass will be long. and
then it will be thick, tender and succu-
lent.
Clear ont your hazel brush, your
rayines, fence rows and all of the waste
places on the farm, and sow them to the
tame grasses. There has been published
an abundance of aivice by learned men
of experience as TO what kind of grass
seed TO SOW on special soils and locations.
If you have not been spending your idle
time the past winter in running to town,
but in studying your business and plan
ming for greater success in farming, you
are now. well informed just what kind of
grass seed to sow and when to SOW it.
But if you do not know these things, get
the grass seed at random any kind or
all kinds, and SOW it as you did your
wild oats, re klessly and pro LEGALLY, and
it will be the beginning of wisdom with
you.
Some of You complain of high taxes.
And yet probably you have been paying
taxes for twenty years on some of your
land, which bv your neglect has not been
yielding you a cent of income. Any one
travelling through any part of the coun-
try can see on almost any farm many
acres of waste land, which if carefully
sowed to grass would Well a large profit
per IRE as the best plow land. And it
is permitted TO lie idle, and the pillow
land is scratched over yearly to raise
money TO pay taxes on land which Has
never vielde a cent to the present own
sr and never will.
But we trust our appeals will have
some influence on those who are not too
old in perversity. Sow more grass seed,
have more fortune, and not particularly
have more stock, but better ones. Toll
less for the production of grain crops.
bnt manage better and watch more care
fully the improvem mt and growth of
stock. 1t is less a life of servitude and
more certain in its results.-IoUa State

A War Incident,

The latest "story of the war" might
furnish capital plot for an American
drama with a little development. A
Southern gentleman, who was Colonel
in the Confederate army, recently wrote
for newspaper an account of great
battle as he remembered it. The nara
tive, in the course of a month or so, was
reprinted in st. Louis journal, with the
authors signature still attached. One of
the subscribers, and presumably con-
slant reader, of the st. Louis journal is a
veteran who fought for the preservation
of the Union. He read the graphic mar
rative with keen interest, and when his
eye fell upon the authors signature he
felt strange thrill in his breast The
name recalled to him the smoke-laden
air of the bloody battle field at the dead
of night. He was once more lying
wounded, amid the dead and dying, on
the damp earth. He pondered for while,
and then wrote letter to the x-Confed-
crate Colonel, asking him if he did not
recall to mind hitherto unpublished
incident of the great civil conflict. To
this letter he signed his full name, with
the rank he held in the Union army
that of Lieutenant in Kansas regiment
before he was mustered out of service.
Within few days the mail brought him
reply. The Confederate veteran
did rememberthe Federal veteran whom
he had found, apparently dying, on the
field of battle. The Colonel was sur
prised to learn that the wounded soldier
of nineteen years before was still alive;
but he remembered the message with
witch the latter had intrusted him, to be
delivered to the wounded mans wife in
Indiana, and he declared that he had
done all within his power to convey the
message to its proper destination.
Besides writing reply to the Northern
officer, whose acquaintance he had
formed amid such grim surroundings,
the Southern officer wrote to three Of his
old comrades asking them if they re-
membered the incident and the message
which he undertook to send through the
Federal lines to lady in Indiana. Two
of these gentlemen ransacked their
memories to no effect; another dimly re-
membered having been concerned
in the matter. This correspondence has
now been made public, because the sum
of S110 60, which David Baker intrusted
to his tender-hearted foe, Col. b. f.
Sawyer, on the battlefield of Chicka-
manga, to be sent to Bakers wife, who,
it was expected, would have been a widow
long before the money reached her, is
still missing. Bake arrived at his home
alive, and settled down to earn his
living at a peaceful calling, and the
money had almost passed out of his
mind until he saw in a newspaper, as
above stated, the name of oil. Sawyer,
who says that he wrapped the money in
a sheet torn from notebook. hastily
wrote upon it, by the light of the pale
moon, the address givin to him, and
started it upon its journey.

Last November an English artist
named George Packer, who imprudently
went alone on an excursion from Naples
TO Mount Vesuvius, was seized by brig
ands and held for ransom in the sum of
$500 franks. Information of his pre-
dicament was conveyed to his friends,
and after few days the money was paid
and he was liberated. One of the most
remarkable things about the affair was
the fact that the bandits received the
ransomer under the walls of the castle of
St. Elmo. which is in the heart of Naples,
and conducted him to cave a couple of
hundred feet away, which was their
rendezvous, and where the artist was
found.
