The Language of Umbrellas.

There is language of umbrellas as
of flowers. For instance, place your
umbrella in a rack and it will change
owners. To open it quickly in the
street means that somebody's eye is
going to be put out; to shut it, that
hat or two is to be knocked off. An
umbrella carried over a woman, the
Inan getting nothing but the dripping
of the rain, signifies courtship. When
a man has the umbrella and the wo-
man the drippings it indicates marri-
age. To punch your umbrella into a
person and then open it means II dis
like you" To swing your umbrella
over your head signifies II am making
a nuisance Of myself" To trail your
umbrella along the foot.path that the
man behind you is thirsting for your
blood. 70 carry it at right angles un-
der your arm signifies that an eye is to
be lost by the man that follows you.
To open an umbrella quickly, it is said
will brighten mad bull. To put a
cotton umbrella by the side of silk
one signifies Exchange is not rob.
berry" To purchase an umbrella
means 81 am not smart, but honest.
To lend an umbrella indicates 81 am a
fool" To return an umbrella means
well, never mind what it means,
nobody ever does that, To turn an
umbrella in a gust of wind presages
profanity. To carry your umbrella
just high enough to tear out mems eye,
and knock off mems hats signifies 81
am a woman" To press an umbrella
on your friend, saying, 80, do take
it; l had much rather you would thar

halt of your umbrella means that botl
of you will get wet. To carry it home

Orchard Grass.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
send you bunch of orchard grass
just as it stood on the ground, and a
fair sample of some l have been cutting
today, June 18th. All the other or
chard grass went into the barn a week
ago, being cut just as it was in bloom.
This is past the bloom, and is perhaps
better for that, as being quite free from
pollen, which makes the hay somewhat
dusty. This bunch of grass is mostly
5 feet 8 inches in length, and the long
est stalk is 5 feet 8 inches. There are
great number of stalks as long as
this as walk through the grass l find
the most of it is above the level of my
eye, One square rod marked out ac-
curately, cut, and weighed at once,
yielded 295 pounds. This had some
clover in it. The next rod which had
little clover and was a fair average of
the grass where it was free from clover
weighed 2174 pounds, Putting the two
together, the weight of an acre would
be equal to 16 tons $50 pounds.
The soil on which this grass was
grown is a light sandy loan, we'll ma.
nured with COW manure four years ago,
when it was in wheat and seeded with
the wheat. Every year since then it
has been cut twice for hay, or once for
hay and pastured in the fall.
This grass, which is not nearly SO
we'll known or commonly cultivated as
it deserves, comes into the best condi.
ton for cutting two weeks earlier than
timothy. For this reason it is a great
advantage as dividing up and lengthen
ing out the haying season where much
hay isgrown. Moreover, l have found
that when the hay was fed to my COWS
after the timothy had been used up
the yield of milk and butter incr easeC
one.third, and was about one>fifth more
than when clover was fed alone. Be
ing cut early it soon renews its growth
and can be fed down two or three
times before the winter sets in. Tha
is; if field is divided into three parts
and each part is fed down in success
sion, the whole can be grazed twice O.
three times, and each time will hav,
recovered so as to be as high as tn
cows knees when they are turned in
l have no doubt that if a top.dressiny
Of fine manure or fertilizer were giveI
yearly, 10 acres of this grass divided
into three fields would easily pastur,

National Crop Report.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The re-
port of the Department of Agricul-
ture for July, relative to cotton, repre-
sents that rains have been excessive
during June over the entire breadth.
The temperature low, the plants too
succulent, and generally late for the
season. With seasonable weather here
after, the condition will improve
With drought following exposure of
such succulence, by clean cultivation
serious injury would result. There is
nothing at present to render fair crop
impossible, but the next sixty days
will be awaited with interest, if not
anxiety. The general average of the

unless the weather should be very dry,
beside giving full crop of hay in
May or June. Last year l cut the
hay in May.
For soiling, this grass fills an i'm
portant place, and it can be cut as ear
ly as April, and RECEIVERS more quickly
than any other grass 1t is equally
valuable for pasturing, for the same
reason. Those farmers who practice
ensilage may also find in this grass 4
substitute for rye, which is entirely
free from the objections against that
crop, in which, however, / have no
belief Chat is, in regard to its effect
on the flavor of the milk and butter,
which l have never yet discovered),
and besides it will yield twice as much
weight Of fodder. Of course it has
not the advantage of rye that it can be
followed by corn, but it will serve a
valuable purpose as an addition to the
list of crops which can be grown for
this purpose. The present season is
exceedingly favorable for crop Of
seed, and the seed will be cheap enough
to permit liberal quantity to be sown,
thing which has been prevented this
year by the high price of the seed
consequent on the failure of last years
crop.
Those who desire to SOW this grass
can do it best in July or early in
August, when the new crop of seed
will be in the market. In seeding
with this grass, the ground should be
MANFRED, plowed, and thoroughly har'
rowed, so as to make it compact, and
yet mellow. A rolling to obliterate
the harrow marks is then advisable, OIL
the seed will fall into these and grow
up in rows. When the ground has
been well rolled it should be looseneC
with brush harrow, and then soyr
both ways, so as to get an even seeding
Clover, when sown with it, should bt
sown otter the grass seed, and not mix
ed whit. The seed is then covered by
a light brush narrowing. This will pre-
vent the grass from growing in stools
as it will do unless prevented by ever
sowing and thick seeding At leas
three bushels of seed should be sowI
per acre, and if one is wise enough, hi
will SOW four bushels. As the gras
is good for a lifetime, when well pu
in, one can well afford to do justice t.
| it. H. STEWART.

EVERY DAY.

We are each one older growing
Every day;
Down lifes river swift are rowing,
Every day;
Steered for temples ever standing
We are borne, at Gods commanding,
Nearer-closer to the landing,
Every day.
O'er their dead ones some are weeping,
Every day;
In the churchyard mounds are heaping,
Every day;
These but give pensive token
Ties of love must yet be broken,
And the last farewell be spoken,
Every day.
We can see the sad and dreary,
Every day,
Meet the hurdened ones and weary,
Every day;
Hear the sound of sorrow quaking,
Wrung from hearts with anguish aching,
For the hearts of some are breaking
Every day.
Let our kindly aid be given,
Every day,
To those who are tempest driven,
Every day;
Words Of hope for the dispairing,
And their troubles gladly sharing,
Give our souls higher bearing,
Every day.
Let us try to be forgiving,
Every day;
Let our words be kind and loving,
Every day;
Let us seeds of God be sowing,
That for Heaven may be growing
Fruits to pay the debt we're owing
Every day.
Though we see so much of sadness,
Every day;
Still is heard the voice Of gladness,
Every day;
The winds are tones of Joy bringing
Sweet child laughter glad is ringing
Happy birds their lays are singing
Every day.
May we all grow wiser, purer,
Every day;
And our sacred trust be surer,
Every day;
If our hearts but faithful prove us,
Heavens King will better love us,
And with angels watch above us,
Every day.
May the grace of God attend us
Every day;
And His loving hand befriend us
Every day;
Let our souls renewed hope borrow,
We shall, on some happy morrow
Leave this land, where cometh sorrow
Every day. .N

THE CORN CROP.

The area in corn has increased about
2 per cent. The total area will be be.
tween 60,000,000 and 70, 900, 900 acres.
A few States report decrease; Maine,
Massachusetts, New York, Louisiana
and Minnesota. There is good de.
gree of uniformity in the increase of
the Southern and Central district. 1t
is per cent. in Iowa; 20 per cent in
Nebraska, and 80 in Dakota. There
is also an increase on the Pacific coast.
The average of condition is SO, against
SO in 1888, and has been exceeded
but twice in July in ten years-in
1879 and 1880. The principal State
averages are New York, SO; Penn

Kentucky, 80; Tennessee, So; Indi.
ana, 81, Illinois, 80: Iowa, 1902; Mis-.

The average for rye is 81.
