Capt. Ksllaher and Capt Lee gave the re-
porter hair views about turning the Chicka-
saw bluff into park. They said that when
the customhouse was finished and terraced,
and when trees were planted, it would be, of
course; open TO the public There the people
would congregate and look at the river. 1t
was hardly practicable TO turn the Chicka-
saw bluff into park on account OF the ex-
pense. Both Of these gentlemen thought it
would be better to have the bluff on each
side of the customhouse cut away, SO that
this building would loom up more promi-
pently, and the city would be shown 10
much better advantage. The two great yell

A TOUR OF THE wharf.


Yesterday afternoon an APPEAL reporter,
in company with the wharfm aster, Capt. Pat
Kaliaher, and with Capt. james Lee, jr,
made a survey of the river front from Beale
street to the new cotton shed and compress.
The Valley Oil Mills, just below Bsale
street, and the Desote, sill further south,
have both been started since 1876 The ele-
vator has been completed within The Last
year, and the Ct,ickasa Reioipg Company
have just finished a magnificent building,
and are now very busy at work, where Happy
Hollow was.
The railroad TRANSFORMATION has been COM
plets. AT the foot of Beale street the Chesa-
peake and OHIO road, just beyond its depot,
has put up an extra track on trestle work
and dump has been prepared 10 facilitate
the unloading of the cars filled with coal.
From this dump the coal can be very read
lily shoveled into the carts and hauled away.

Cutting Grass for Hay.

Ii was once q saying snoag fsrhiers, I'D
may he so still to some extent, that grass
ought to be cut as close ss possible fs the
ground, for it was SO much thicker at the
bottom, that an inch there was worth two OF
more at the top. This may be true or not,
according to circumstances, and the kind and
quality of the grass to be cut Ii it be the
natural growth on the broad meadows,
or similar river bottoms, or
very fine stalked variety, like June grass, or
the short-growing white clover, then an inch
at the base may be worth two at the top. II
it is Timothy, orchard, or any other coarse
stalked grass, or red clover, then two to four
inches at the bottom may not be worth one at
the top. especially if left standing until passed
blossoming and the seed begins to form.
Coarse, rank grasses are usually Invested
of leaves near the ground when attaining
their iull growth; and if they are cut close,
the stubs are left so short AS to be- no protec-
iioH against the hot summer sun. IL dry
weather follows fer fsw weeks Subsequent
~. it will greatly injure the grass, and some
times kill it. When protection is left by
not cutting too close, a fair second growth is
ensured. which. if not sufficient by cautumn,
for row en- or pasture, it will at least be good
protection for the roots duriug winter, and
give an earlier start in spring sndss better
LID IN nayfng time.
The invention of moving machines has
given the farmers a great advantage in har-
vesting their grass. for they can so set the
bars and cutting knives, etc., of these, as to
cut high or low, as desired. There is con-
siderable difference of opinion still existing
among farmers ss to the best time for cutting
their grass for hay. Some contend. II for
milch cows, it should be cut before the grass
begins to blossom, if for other kinds OF
80 af fI,o s;,,,a cf a,
contend that for horses the seed should be
nearly ripe. In order to settle this point sat
isiactorily, it would be well for the agrcul-
tural colleges TO extend their careful expert
ments with the various grasses and clover,
cut at three to four different stages Of growth.
