THE HAY CROP.
A Product Which Should BE Secured il
the hest Possible Condition.

A Product Which Should BE Secured in
the best Possible Condition.
From what has been learned of the
difference in value between good and
bad hay, through the labors and in
vestigat ons of chemists, it should be
the effort of every farmer to secure this
crop in the very best condition. The
tables of values of folders. which have
been made up from the most careful
analysis by many skillful agricultural
chemists, and which are fully trust
worthy in this respect, show that hay
varies more than one hundred per cent
in nutritive value, poor hay being
worth forty cents per one hundred
pounds. while the best hay is worth
eighty-five cents. these figures showing
the comparative values. Thus. If poor
hay. made so in the cutting and cur
ing, is worth IS per ton to the farmer.
the same crop made of the best quality
by the best management would be
worth sl7 per ton. This difference is
SO large that it is very important for
farmers to understand precisely how
hay is spoiled or preserved in its best
state,

Whatever may be thought of Jacob
Sharp's Broadway scheme, says the
New York Tribune, he has been the
cause of the gathering of some inter
esting statistics regarding the enor-
NOUS amount of traffic in Broadway.
Four men were recently stationed at
Fulton and Broadway to count the
vehicles passing through Broadway at
that point from a. m. to p. m. The
total number was %, 308 for the period
of eleven hours-about 1000 an hour,
thirty-thrse minute, or one every two
seconds.

The Expressive Word Which Often Indi-
Gates the Fate of Steamships.
"Throb! throb! throb.''
As regular as the beat of the human
heart-more regular than the human
pulse. 1t is the revolution of the steam
er's screw-something heard from end
to end and side to side of the great
ship.
From dawn to darkroom dark to
dawn-never missing a beat Let the
great ship heartmiss that beat-let the
lar cease for a moment in mid-ocean.
and the chill of fear will strike every pas
senger's heart. They know that only
a single plank separates them from the
relentless waters-that a rod-a pin
a bolt-a crank-may snap at any mo-
ment and render the huge ship as help
less as log.
There is treachery in the waters
when they lap and gurgle and run soft
" up on the sands, and break SO still
that sleeping infant would be- soothed
to deeper slumber. There is fire abroad.
Under the boilers down in the dark
hold-in the cooks galley-in half
dozen other places turks a fiend who
may spring up at any moment and
clasp the huge Ship in his fiery arms.
The sky is without cloud, but an
hour hence may bring hurricane
which will veX ocean and land until
every living thing cries out in suppl
cation. Puff! puff! puff! 1t is the ex-
haust of steam. It's steam controlled
by watchful eyes and experienced
hands. Let it but secure the mastery
for moment and the heavens will be
rent by an explosion. Straight ahead
in her path, but miles away, is ghast-
ly obstruction. 1t creeps-creeps-
creeps-moved by some mysterious
current. 1t is an iceberg of such di-
mansions that the great steamship is
a button compared to the monster fly

as if half suspecting they had slept for

..Boomi boom! boom''
Here and there nervous sleeper
may start up at the sound, but only to
sleep again. All is well.
Through the darkness through the
black mantle of the fog-throbbing,
breathing, living-the great iron mon
ster pushes her way, and every few
seconds the omnibus sound of the whis-
tie booms out to be caught up by the
wreaths and smothered in the folds
which are pressing down as if to
their victim.

Supreme Court Decision

Pickett versus Ferguson. Appeal
from Mississippi County,
In 1877 Ferguson & Hampson,
merchants in Tennessee, accepted
from Mrs. Pickett and her husband
u lease Of the plantation Nodena, in
Mississippi County, Arkansas, for
the term of five years, to begin on
the lst Of January. They were to
pay on December of each year a
certain rent for each acre. At the
time of the lease the plantation was
encountered with . deed of trust,
and Q decree Of foreclosure had
been rendered BY the circuit court,
and the cause was pending in this
court on appeal and soon afterwards
was decided-in 32 Ark. 348-and
the place sold. The rent for which
they were liable for 1878 remained
unpaid. aud they refused to pay
Mrs. Pickett insurance money
which they held. Mrs. Pickett
brought suit in Tennessee. The
defendants claimed damages by
reason of their eviction, and asked
to recoup. She afterwards dismiss
cd this suit and filed her bill in the
chancery court of Tennessee against
appellants and Hanauer, but Fer.
guson was not served except con-
structively. While the cause was
pending in Tennessee, Mrs. Pickett
filed substantial copy of her bill
in Mississippi county, Ark. The
defendants then procured the In
junction restraining Mrs. p. from
proceeding with the case in Tennes.

cause in Tennessee pushed to .
decree. She was sdjudged in con.
tempt and was permitted to take no
further step in the case until she
should have the Tennessee decree
set aside. She was not permitted
to introduce any evidence, but the
other side read all the records,
papers and depositions taken in be-
half of both parties in the Tennes-
see case. The bill was dismissed
and the injunction against the
Tennessee suit male perpetual.
The Tennessee court had retslia:ed
in the meantime by enjoining the
prosecution Of the suit in Arkansas.
Mrs. Pickett appeals from this
decree.
