Pasture and Meadow Grasses.

For pasture, a variety of grasses
should be selected adapted to the land
and the purpose of the pasture. limo
thy (Phleum pratensel, is the poorest
of the cultivated varieties of pasture
grasses, as it makes very little leaf
heritage, and after the stems have ma
tured the after-growth or aftermath is
small. 1t is the best grass for meadows
of any single variety, both for yield
and market, being better suited to
horses than cattle. 1t is among the
poorest for sheep. The best single
grass for pasture is orchard grass (Dac-
tylis glomerata). This is also tae ear
lest except the small blue grass (Poa
pratensis), so common in old pastures,
door-yardS and along the highways.
Orchard grass is valuable for its prompt
renewal after either cutting or grazing,
and for its permanencv, being superior
to timothy in this respect, and not eX-
celled by any. unless it is red-top
(Agrostis vulgaris), on rich land it will
furnish a fresh bite in three days. Nc
other grass is equal to it in this re-
spect. Ii should always be allowed tc
produce an aftermath before cold
weather sets in, or the crowns will
freeze and die. The aftermath acts as
a protection, and is necessary in a colj
climate. 1t will not, however, cut
so readily as either timothy or
clover, owing to the form and tenacity
of the roots, which are long and
fibrous, and grow in punches. The sod
makes more enriching material than
any other grass. An orchard grass
sod always makes mellow land, as the
roots penetrate to great depth and
loosen up the sub-soiL The roots OF
timothy are small and of shallow
growth, hence are easily thrown out BY
frost and make a weak sod. Orchard
grass is not so well adapted for mead
ows as other varieties. 1t ripens At an
inconyenient time, before the spring
work is finished, and does not produce
so large q crop or as good quality.
Unless cut when in blossom il is hard
ard woody. Timothy is much better il
cut when the seed is beginning to form.
Timothy will flourish either on dry up.
land, or low land if it does not heave
with the frost, so as to throw out the
bulbs. Orchard grass is also adapted
to any variety of soils, except very wet
land Red-top grows well on moist
land, even if it overfows, and it will
also do well on dry land. 1t makes hay
OF excellent quality, good for any kind
of of stock, being softer in its texture
than either timothy or orchard grass.
and lighter in proportion to the bulk |
1t is next, if not equal, to orchard
grass in value for pasture, with the ex.
ception of extreme earliness and quick |
renewal after cropping.-ColonetF d.

The great yields from root crops
should be a tempting inducement for
:armers to grow them, ana although the
abor of cultivation may seemingly be
great, their value as necessary adjuncts
to the usually dry provender fed during
the winter should tempt all to grow
them, at least to a certain extent.
The appearance of farm-buildings
adds much to the attractions and value
of farm. When it is not convenient
to paint, remember whitewash covers
many imperfections and gives an air Of
neatness. System, cleanliness and
every part of the building kept in repair
makes an old farm look new.-Ciere-
land Leader.
The best way to rid fields of the
wild blackberry is to let hogs root them
up. They are very fond of the bark OF
the root, although it is bitter and as
tringent. In a neighborhood where
hog-cholera was prevalent it was OBJ
served that those who had the run of a
blackberry-infested field were not sick
in any way.--Prairie Farmer.
1t will interest good housekeepers
to know that oil marks on papered
walls against which thoughtless per-
sons have laid their heads NAV be re-
moved by making paste of cold water
and pipe clay, or fuller's earth, and
laying it on the surface without rubbing
it on, else the pattern of the paper may
be injured. Leave the paste on all
night. In the morning it may be
brushed off and the spot will have dis
appeared, though renewal of the oper-
alton may be needed if the oil spot is

Great Destruction mt Conev Island.

NEW YORK. January "a gale this
morning and duringthe latter part OF the
night worked great destruction to property
at Coney Island. Residents along the
beach spent a restless night in fear OF IT,
dial wave that might Submerge the place.
The water made inroads upon the land and
flooded the meadows. The financial loss
is variously estimated at from 100000 to
81 ,O00, 900. The track OF the Marine rail-
way between Manhattan and Brighton
Beach was, it is reported. almost entirely
DESTROYED. Culver's iron pier was wrecked
at the outer end. and upwards OF one hun
dred feet OF the structure carried away.
The old iron pier also suffered considera-
bly,. All the sheds and houses nearest the
beach were either entirely or partly de-
molished. The bathing-houses. which
we're believed to be at n safe distance from
the sea, were borne out on the waves to
the ocean.
Brighton-Beach Hotel and surrounding
property were damaged to such an extent,
il was said, rs to suggest possible demoll-
ton should such vistations be repeated.
The promenade succumbed during the
night, and the music stand and drugstore
fell Il prey TO the waves. The piazza in
front OF the hotel and lower part OF the
building were also damaged. Engeman's
pavilion was destroyed.

An Hns.rs Family burned to Death.


RALEIGH, January 9.--An entire family
Of negroes, William Groom and wife and
SIX children, were burned TO death Satur-
day night on the plantation Of w. G.. Tay-
lor, In Lenoir county. That night the
weather was the coolest IL bad bcenf0r
twenty years. 1t Is supposed that large
fire was made before the family retired
and the house caught fire from blazing
brands rolling on the floor. No news OF
the catastrophe reached the neighbors until
Sunday noon, when visitor to the place
found nothing but the ashes of the house and
the cmr-ed remains OF eight human beings.
The skeletons Of father and mother were
found near together, with that OF an infant
between them, where the bed had stood.
The skeleton OF one child was between
this spot and the door and those OF the
others in their usual places Of rest. II Is
supposed that nearly all OF them died from
stIflocafion
