A Healthy, Beautiful Woman.

Here is a paragraph descriptive o.,
Theodosia and her wholesomeness.
Theodosia makes her appearance of a
morning:
perhaps there is no better test of a
womans health and beauty than her
appearance when she presents herself
at an early breakfast. She is then
more as nature made her than at anv
other period Of the dav, when art has
been brought in with view of height
ening her charms. If she has slept
well, it argues to some extent q sound
nervous system. and the effect is seen
in the brightness of her ewes and the
tone possessed by the muscles of the
face and neck Her inteIli-
gence isfhen at its maximum, and she
feels the mental recklessness that is SO
generally the result of sound, healthy
sleep. and that is only a natural elation
of the emotions, pleasant, doubtless.
for her to exhibit. but far more pleasant
to those TO whom it is manifested
The unhealthy woman at breakfast
DIR. Hammond dismiSses as follows:
'Her expression is indicative of the dis
comforts she has undergone during the
night, her movements are either pain
fully slow or aggraratingly brusque,
her intellect shows stupidity, her emo
tons are torpid, her perceptions dull.
There is no better test of
woman's health than her ability to eat
a hearty breakfast. and it migt almost
be said that her physical beauty is in
direct proportions to the amount Of
beefsteak or mutton chops she can put
into herself at this meal. Certainly,
pretty women can always eat a hearty
breakfast. There can be no doubt
but that DIR. Hammond is an expert

Amount Of Grass Seed Per Acre.

see in some of the papers lately a
writer claiming that farmers do not sow
enough grass seed per acre, and saws
in substance that this fact accounts for
their failure in raising good crop of
grass. He claims that two bushels of
timothy seed per acre is not too much,
and that peck or half bushel is not
enough. Now, what has led this writer
to such ideas or conclusions | do not
know, but l do not hesitate to pro-
nounce them unsound. When was q
young man, and just beginning farm
ing for myself, one Of my neighbors,
an older man than myself. told me he
used half bushel of timothy seed per
acre, and thought that about right. [
sowed this amount one year and OBJ
served that my grass crop was not as
heavy as had grown before from less
seed to the acre. The grass grew too
thick to attain a proper height. In
other words it was too thick u thrive.
The next year l sowed only peck per
acre, and had better results; but | was
satisfied | had sowed too much still to
secure the best returns. l reduced the
quantity till came down to two quarts
per acre. l am now satisfied that three
to four quarts per acre is enough. If
put in so it can grow. I do not throw
it on the ground and leave it to cover
itself, or wait for the rain to do that. |
cover it as l would any other seed that
! wish to grow. Now, farmers, let Us
look at this matter little. How
many seeds to the square foot would
you wish to have grow SO that each
stalk may have room to grow and
thrive? Could more than one seed to
the square inch do well? l think LA
seeds to one square foot is as heavy
seeding as is desirable for the best re-
suits. have seen timothy seed come
SO thick that none of it ever grew six
inches high; it just choked one another
out. Now. how much seed must be
used to furnish one seed to the square
inch2 A little calculation will answer
this better than l can answer it in any
other way. By actual count the scru-
pie weight of timothy seed contains
5000 seeds; one ounce. 16,S00 seeds;
one pound, ], 2:S, 500 seeds: one bushels,
81, 296, 900 seeds. One acre contains
l6O square rods, or 1850 square feet,
or 6,272,6i0 inches. From the above
YOU see that one bushel of seed to the
acre would be eight and eight-tenths
seeds to the inch: of course tw) bushels
would furnish twice as many, or 17.6
seeds to the inch. Who wants seven
teen or eighteen seeds to one square
incho What folly! What waste of
seed. This is, in my opinion. profit
eacy. From the above we see that one
quart of seed has l.72s,OO0 seeds. three
quarts, 5,1S4,O10 seeds. So that 3.63
quarts of timothy seed will make Just
seed enough for one acre. sowing
one seed to the square inch, Ohio

The American Pine Supply.

In the United States the problem
that has long agitated Europe has be-
gun to present itself. and the question,
"From whence are the American peo-
pie to procure their future supply of
construction timber?'' is constantly
being asked by the dealers of this Re-
public. The question may readily be
answered. The tall mountain ranges
of Mexico are covered nearly to their
SUBMITS with a growth of excellent
white and pitch pine. The tops of the
innumerable foot hills are also gar
nished with grand pine forests.
The same may also be said of the five
Central American republics. As the
traveller recedes from the coast, at
about fifty miles from the ocean, the
lands which gradually slope upward
present an almost temperate flora to
the eyes of the astonished beholder,
while many pleasing contrasts may be
observed: for instance, the larch, pop
lar and sycamore flourish beside the
tamarind and the frondose ceiba. The
oak and the laurel mingle their
branches with those of the nispero and
tho Zapote. while the same fertile soil
gives life to the cypress aud the cherry,
the apple and the banana, the plum
and the coffee trees. At an altitude of
$500 feet above the sea the pine and
other conifere first appeared; at an
elevation of 5000 this genus attains its
greatest size, but at the height of s, 200
