Orchard Grass.

+. D. Curtis, in the New York Tribune
makes the following statements i'll favor
of orchard grass: Those who keeps pigs
will find orchard grass best for perlna-
nent pig pasture, on account of its start
ing so early in sprin. and its continuous
growth during the entire season. 1t is
the least affected by drouth Of any grass
with which l I'm acquainted, and it will
also furnish the largest amount of fresh
seed. Clover and timothy will furnish q
greater bulk of hay, but neither ofthem,
and especially timothy, which is very
poor, will furnish anything like the
amount of aiter-growth. Orchard grass
on rich land can be mown three timesin
one year and Of course when used fol
pasture there is the same vigorous growth
l have known it to furnish a good fresh
bite three days after being cut close to
the ground, hence ! am satisfied that it
is superior to any other grass for perma-
nent pasture. Ii will not run ont like
clover and timothy, us its long tibrous
roots take a rank and deep hold of the
ground, uniting at the top in Il tussock
or crown from which numberless blades
of grass grow.

A Story of Gen, Dix.

An incident somewhat similar to
"Shoot him on the spot" is related of
General Dix during his occupancy of
Fort McIienry: The condition of Balti-
more was like that of q volcano intent
on eruption; signs pointed distinctly to
a terrible outbreak as imminent; and had
blood begun to flow in the city it would
| soon have been flowing all over the I'M
happy state. What the commanding
| general would do in case of an outbreak
was anxiously asked; the rumor vast that
in such an event he would shell the
town. A deputation of ladies went to
Fort McHenry to see him and remon-
strate. They were received with the
courtesy characteristic of the general
in his dealings with the sex.
After some conversation h%einvited them
to a walk around the , ais. At a certain
point they came upon an immense col
umbiad, the Largest in the fort. Here
the general stopped and said: "I.adies,
there will be no trouble in the city un-
less it is created by..persons OF your own

A Good whitewash Recipe.

If lime is slaked with skinned milk
instead of water, it will not rub off, and
will have glossy appearance. White
wash is the best coating for walls COW
cred with common lime mortar, and
kalsomine for walls covered with hard
finish. If the ceiling has been black
ened with smoke, a little dissolved indi-
60 added to the whitewash will hide the
smoky surface. To make a stone color,
take for half u busheloflime four pounds
of raw lumber and two pounds OF lamp
b ack. For a light pink, stir in Spanish
brown till the color is what is dcsired. A
lemon-colored wash may be obtained by
using chrome yellow; a fawn color by
adding to half busilel oflime one pound
of Indian red, four pounds lumber and
one pound of lampblack. To make the
whitewash, slake half Il bushcl of lime
in IL cask, with hot water or milk; add
half a pound of whiting, pound of
glue dissolved in hot water, and a peck
Of salt dissolved in water. Have a wire
across the pail containing the wash,
when used, so that the brush may be
pressed against it when taken from the
w%hitewasll. This will keep drops and
| sp,tters from spelling the floor. Use
on.y a little wash at a time, and dip the
brlsh perpendicularly into the pail.

About Gala Lilies.

There are few. persons caring any
thing for plants who do not have a Gala
lily. Many will have II in preference
to any other plant, 1t is largely grown
for winter flowers, and is of the easiest
culture. 1t is a native of the Cape of
Good Hope, and was named after l.. C..
Richard, a French botanist, hence its
botanical name-Richardia E%thiopica. 1t
was first brought into England in 1851.
The popular name, Gala was given to it
by Pliny. The Gala blooms during win
ter and spring, and is much used for
Easter decorations, the flowers usually
being abundant about that time. 1t is
sometimes called Easter lily and lily of
the Nile. 1t needs rich, moist soil,
plenty of water and light; and, although
it does we'll with little heat, the higher
temperature it can have the better. 1t
Is often seen IN aquaria, where 1t Is
grown in almost pure water. After the
plants are through Towering they
should be given a season of rest, say
from June OF July to September. Turn
the pot on its side in a shady place and
gradually withhold the water from it.
In September repot in fresh soil. After
it has started growing give plenty Of
water and light. They can be grown
and lowered all the year round if the
plants are repotted as often as neces-
! sary, but it is following nature more

and that she had the consumption. Not be-

gist at Richmond, Va, if he had any medi-
