Plants for FORAGE.


The cow pea, of which my exper-
iment cover two seasons growth of
the clay-colored vaEa of the
southern field pea, incline me to
form the opinion that. as a general
crop for feeding, this will be infe-
rior in this high latitude to many
varieties of kindred species of
plants. The clay colored is not so
prolific as the whip poor-will pea
the seedsmen say-but it produces
a moderate yield of bean like seeds
whose color is indicated By its
name, and whose size is little
under that of The common white
pea bean, and the characteristics
of the seed indicate that the varity

Southern Growth.

The south is ma ing rapid
strides in every direction--in trade,
in commerce, in manufactures, in
stOck-raising, grain-growing and
the cultivation of early vegetables
and fruits. Nothing Xix. her
growth has ever been known in the
history of the country. The busy
hum of a rapidly increasing indus
try may be heard in all the states
from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande-from the newly opened
iron and coal mines of Virginia to-
the giant mills of South Carolina
and Georgia, and thence to the
coal AMI iron mills of Tennessee
and Alabama, TO the cotton and cot
ton-seed oil mills of Mississippi
and Memphis. and still further to
the saw-mills Of Arkansas and
North Louisiana, and The vast wool
farms of Texas. The demand fer
machinery cannot be supplied. al
though as here in Memphis the
machine shops are multiplied Wag-
o1s and furniture are, too, in de
mand greater than the supply as a
esuit of the increasing prosperity
of the farmers and planters of the
most favored portion of the United
States, wood, water, temperature
and soil considered. Here In Mem

wagons and cotton gins, buggies and

have attracted population and
brought a great many farmers to

about an increase of the volu ne oil

A Washington paper tells us of q

streets of that city, who once held
an important command IN the army,
having been promoted for personal
bravery, from cavalry lieutenant
TO nearly the highest rank in the
military rvice. One night recent
" when he had been too successful
in begging liquor to safe his craving,
and while lying helplessly in the
rear part of Third street saloon,
some men thought to play joke
on him by stealing mis- shirt, and
proceeded to strip him.
Underneath his shirt, and sus-
pended by a string from his neck,
was 8 small canvass bag which the
men opened and found il contained
his commission as hrevet major
general, two cOngratulatOry letters
One from General Grant and one
from President Lincoln-a photo
graph of little girl, and curl of
hair--a "chesnut shadow" that
doubtless one day crept over the
brow of some loved one.

who found them felt res pect fol

S,rrhum Instead Of Corn.

In writing to the secretary of the
Kansas stale Board of Agriculture
ur. n. e. Merrill, of ClarInla, Ness
county, Kansas, says: 81 have for
tour years been experimenting with
sorghum as substitute for corn
for stock feeding purposes, and
have had, especiallv..this last:season,
extremely satisfactory results.
The Early Amber and Kansas Or
anze varieties are the pest, and the
more thoroughly cultivated, the
better the crop.
Probably the most satisfactory
way to plant is to take common
grain dri and stop up two holes,
and leave one in every third hose

The best theng to do with an
egg-eating hen is to eat her. Innu
merable remedies have been sug-
gested, some possibly of use, but
the majority no good. Dark nest-
may help; also nests having false
bottoms through which the eggs
may escape beyond the reach of the
hen; this is perhaps as good q pre-
tentative as any; but such nests
are troublesome to make. The
vice spreads rapidly through a
whole flock; therefore watch for
the first offender, and. when caught in
in act, pen and fstten. This would
be cure all if it to K every fowl on
