The Great Pasture Grass.

A correspondent of the County Gen.
tleman proclaims rye the great pasture
grass. He says: Rye can be grazed for
years all the season as permanent pas
ture grass. In a two or three days visit
near Adrian, Mich, the fact came to
my knowledge that rye had, in that
country, been regularly grazed as a
pasture grass for three years in success
sion, affording good pasture to the end
of that period. Rye is very hardy,
deep roofing and vigorous grass, and
grows freely and vigorously on almost
any soil; even when. it is very different
to grow the finer ordinary pasture
grasses in dry seasons, and since it
takes several years to establish a good
compact grazing soil with the best
grasses, why is it not preferable to
plant the hardy rye, which can be
grazed for five or six seasons as readily
as for two or three, when it is not
allowed to become an annual by form
ing seeds heads? Rye gives early
spring feed and late fall grazing, if the
land be in u moderately good condition.
For ewes and lambs no grass will sup
ply earlier feed.

THE LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the organ,
was weary and Ill at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
do not know what was playing,
Or what was dreaming then;
But l struck one chord of music
Like the sound of great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close of an angels psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With touch of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away in silence
As IL 1t were loath to cease.
l have sought, but seek 1t vainly,
That one lost chord divine,
That came from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine.
1t may be that DEATHS bright angel
Will speak In that chord again,
1t may be that only in heaven
1 shall hear that grand Amen.

The Household.

CUCUMBER CATsUP.-Pare one dozen
large, ripe cucumbers; take out the
seeds and CRATE the cucumbers; make
Il bag of thin muslin; put them in it
and hang them up to drain over night
chop two or three onions, two or three
green peppers, add Il tablespoonful of
salt and the thin substance left in the
bag; one quart OF the best vinegar is
needed.
A NICE PICKLE. Slice some green
tomatoes, sprinkle with salt, let stand
over night, then drain off the Juice.
Add to the tomatoes IA few onions, some
horseradish, and chop fine. Boil lit
tie bag of spices in vinegar, add white
mustard seed, and pour over the mix
ture. Good cabbage and cucumbers,
chopped with the tomatoes and onions,
some think an improvement.
TOMATO CATsCP.-A bushel of ripe
tomatoes cut up and cooked thoroughly:
strain through sieve when cold; add
three quarts vinegar, one pint and
halfIof salt, three ounces each of whole
cloves and allspice, three ounces white
and black pepper, One and half ounces
cayenne pepper, twelve onions boiled
whole IN it for several hours; watching
and stirring for fear of burning. 1t
need not boil hard but simmer steadily.
When cool, bottle, after removing the
onions when they have we'll favored
the mixture; keep in 4 cool, dry place
BAKED TOMATOEs.-Cut a thin slice
from the stem end of ripe tomatoes,
then with pointed knife cut out the
green hbre from the centre, and fill the
orltice with a mixture of equal parts of
timely chopped onion, breadcrumbs and
butter, well seasoned with pepper and
salt; cover this with breadcrumbs or
cracker dust, and upon each one lay a
small pat of butter; place them in a
baking pan in about a gill of water; bake
in moderate oven for about an hour,
then remove with an egg slicer; place
on hot dish; pour whatever Juice re-
mains IN the pan over them, and serve
hot.

and not dispersed about the room.
Moreover, it will be found that the
colors OF the carpet will be frightened
by this means far more than by ordinary
sweeping; and after good broom has
been used in the usual way it will be
found an excellent plan that the SER
want go over the carpet again with a
damp cloth. The colors of a faded car
pet can be restored by washing it
over with ammonia water or
oullock's gall. In rooms where the
woodwork is painted it is ALWAYS well
to have an inch of or two of the floor
painted also, so that if, in CHANGING

FARM AND HOME.

Farmers Should Know the Breeds.
Farm. Field and Fireplace.
Farmers who have not familiarized
themselves with the breeds of sheep
should bear in mind that they are be-
hind the buyers, who can tell at few
moments examination exactly what
kind of sheep from which the wool was
sheared, and it is desired. The buyers
know the breeds, the kind of wool
peculiar to each breed, and all about
them, for it is "business.' A farmer
would sheer at a carpenter who profess
ed to be carpenter and yet who could
not do piece of work in that line; and
yet we venture to say there are hundreds
of farmers who profess to be farmers,
who would be insulted if their knowl-
edge of their business were questioned,
but who, at the same time, cannot tell
as much about the products of the farm
as many of those who know nothing of
farm life. There are hundreds of farm
ers who are not able to distinguish
breeds of sheep, and who do not know
the particular purposes for which a
breed is most suitable, and still they
pride themselves on their calling as Il
business which they intend to make
profitable. If such farmers could be
brought to a realization of the fact that
they are really deficient in knowl-
edge, it would be to their interests to
do so. Every year we witness the ship
ment of the products Of the farm to
market where the buyer fixes the
grade, although he has had no expert
ence on the farm. Farmers as class
are not business-like, for they rely too
much upon the judgment of others. 1t
is not intended to imply that they
should not seek the advice of others,
but when the farmer surrenders every
thing to hard work, we insist that he
should begin to educate himself in
every possible way in order to improve
his chances.

Your Height and Weight.

duuulO commercial
You ask a very practical question:
'How much should person of given
height weigh? Is there standard be-
tween height and weight? A healthy
child, male or female, grows in length
by more than one-half it's size during
the first two years; it increase from SO
per cent (19.6s5 inches) to about 10 per
cent CLIO inches.) 1t trebles or quad

about 6 per cent each year equal 2 1922
inches) the weight of the body goes on
increasing to the 9th year, rising in
boys to 20 xii. ESQ pounds) and in girls
to 10 xii. (474 pounds. From this age
g years. until puberty boys increase
in height IS per cent (2.165 feet) each
year, reaching at the age of IL years a
height of 1873 per cent (over 4.52 feeD
and girls 1875 per cent (4.421 feet on
an average. Boys gain about 2 xii. 6
pounds) in weight per year, girls lit
tie more, so that in the IL year children
of both sexes weigh, on an average,
about 80 xii. (75 pounds. From ID to
20 years youths grow some 80 per cent
(11.9, girls 20 per cent 1.S inches).
The increase of weight is even more
rapid than before, reaching % xii. Gas

girls of the same age 81 xii.

lose flesh. Women continue to grow
heavier, reaching about Sc xii. GAO
pounds), until the 50th year. Between
40 and 60 men become more corpulent
and women rapidly grow older; in both
the size of the body diminishes. -
Wagner.
1t is desirable for all persons,
whether suffering in health or other
wise, to know as near as possible what
the normal weight should be. We are
indebted to the late DR.. Hutchinson for
weighing alone $500 men of various
ages. There is, indeed, an obvious re-
lation between the height and weight so
particularly weighed and measured.
Starting with the lowest men in the ia
bles, it will be found that the increased |
weight was as nearly as possible five
pounds for every inch in height beyond
sixty-one inches.

tive height and weight of individuals |

Frosted Corn.

Says the American Cultivator: ssThe
anxiety about frosted corn may be par
italy relieved by the fact that when I'M
timely frost comes the grain robs the
stalk to perfect itself. Hence there will
be more and better grain than is now
expected, but the fodder will possess
less feeding value.''

Destroy the Germs.

The New York Times suggests that
farmers steep their seed wheat in some
caustic solution that will destroy the
germs or rust and smut. These sub
stances destroy the spores or seeds of
the minute plants that produce the dis

precautions should be taken to prevent
it.

Prof. John L. Campbell.

Prof Campbell, father of Mrs. James NJ
Townsend, jr., is recovering after very Sc
rious illness Many friends here will be
pleased to learn the intelligence. The
Southern Collegian" of Lexington, Va,
says: For several months past Prof. Camp
bell has been laid upon bed of sickness,
caused by fall and the subsequent prostra-
ton. For some time his physicians all but
despaired of saving his life, and some weeks
ago it became necessary to amputate an arm.
With the loss of his arm, and with the help
of very powerful constitution, it seems
more than likely be will be soon restored
to health. The Professor has had dam
gerous and very painful spell of sickness,
and his cheerful fortitude cannot be too
much commended. IT'S there upon a sick
bed, when for five long, weary months the
trembling balance of life and death is at an
equipoiss, that true manliness and genuine
bravery are exhibited in their best light and
with least frequency. IT'S there that we see
in its purest and rarest form innate good
ness and gladness After the better portion
of a well spent life had been devoted, to
truth and science, and many had been
made wiser and better by his precepts
and zeal, he has in the latter BALI of
his life taught a still more noble lesson
in Christian fortitude and courageous
manhood. His friends-and he has many
hope to see him soon restored to health, and
his physicians inform us that he is now out
of danger. Though the loss of his arm may
prove somewhat of an inconvenience to him
in the discharge of his duties as professor, it
is hoped that it will not seriously interfere
with them. We hope to see him in few
days on the campus again, and beg to be al
lowed to assure him that as he has long had
the sympathies and prayers of all the stu
dents, he has now our best wishes and most
sincere congratulations
