HEAVY SNOW STORMS WEST.

The snow storms in the West this
week, especially at and around Chica-

years. 1t commenced Monday, and
for "a hours continued without cessa-

Winter Wheat Ruined.

American.
~Mr. William Livingston, who was
for many years farmer in the Hermi.
tage District, has gone to considerable
trouble and spent much time lately in
endeavoring to ascertain the condition
of the wheat crop in Tennessee. His
plan is to ask every reliable farmer he
meets, and being located on the Public
Square in popular business house,
has excellent opportunities to get at the
facts. Mr.. Livingston stated yester.
day that, from all he could learn, the
winter wheat in Middle Tennessee is
very badly damaged by the severe
weather He says the few cold spells
We have had recently have invariably
occurred after a heavy rain. Had
there been a good fall of snow on the
ground to protect the wheat it would
not have been damaged at all, but the
freeze after the rain was the worst
thing that could occur. Had this hap.
pened only once and early in the sea-
son it would not have been so bad, but
the repeated freezes, each happening
after heavy rainfall, Mr.. Livingston
thinks has about ruined the winter
wheat crop of Middle Tennessee.
Mr.. James Anderson, of Sanders.
vile, prominent citizen of that dis
trict, says the four successive freezes
after as many heavy raiufalls have
literally ruined the winter wheat crop.
He thinks hundreds of thousands of
dollars Of damage has been done to the
crop in thu State, and there will hard.
ly be any wheat harvested from the
winter crop to speak of.
Mr.. j. H. YarbrOugh, of the firm
of Davis & Yarbrough, himself an old
farmer, of this county, has undertaken
to get what statistics he could in the
matter. He confirms the reports
above given, and says the yield from
the winter wheat will be the poorest
that has been harvested in Middle
Tennessee for several years past.

Graduating Back to the Farm.

The "Maid,of-All.Wurk in the
Pacific Rural Press, presents this glow
ing picture of the ''sweet girl graduate"
on her return to the farm. We fear
there is another and less pleasing side
not presented:
But the fair girl we saw graduate
few weeks ago is coming to the farm
house. The old piano will wake up
then sure enough, and we will hear
the same hearty showers of music that
we heard on commencement day. The
trunk will be unpacked, and cool, blue
lakes and luscious looking cherries; and
snow scenes, and apple blossoms will
brighten up the high, white walls that
have waited so long for the home-com-
ing of little Janet: and the city>like
blossom of commencement day will
develop into the red, red rose of love,
sweet with love and gratitude. There
are all mothers dresses to fix over, for
mother is getting sadly out of style.
There are the children all eager to be-
gin music. There is the kitchen wait
ing for quick sttp and . singing
voice. There is mothers room and
the guest chamber to be renovated and
made bright and cheerful and sunny,
like the rooms at school.
There are thousand nameless
touches to u home, which only an ac-
complished girl can give, and especial
ly if there is a new house full of new
furniture, no one can tone it down and
arrange it and make it home.like and
cosy and like this very same singing
Janet from school.
Then many, many times George and
Herbert will say, "COme Janet, if you
will play some Of those pretty things
you played when you graduated, we
won't 60 to town tonight" Then moth,
er's eyes will glisten with tears of joy
that her boys love to stay home at
last.

work is unreasonable. Father is gets

The most influential man, in free

CLOVER AND RED TOP.

The leading field grasses of this Sec
ton are Clover and Red Top. limo.
thy, Orchard, and other grasses have
been more or less successfully sown;
but in our opinion, on most of our
lands in this county, Clover and Red
Top are the most reliable. For graz
ing, a mixture is perhaps the best.
For all purposes, Red Clover is doubt
less the most profitable grass. 1t is
good as fertilizer, for grazing, for
seed, and for hay, when cut at the
proper stage and well cured and shell
tered from the dews and rains. The
greatest objection to clover, there is
not enough sown. The seed are ex-
pensivc, and many farmers do not sow
it for the reason that they have not
the money to buy seed. The way TO
remedy this is, to make their own
seed. They can do it easily.
There are hullers IN the county
ready and willing to 90 the work for
the customary toll. The indications
are. good, if the season should be favor
able, for home supply>of clover seed
for next year. Mr. P. H. Winton, OF
Viola, thinks there will be considera>
BILE amount of seed grown on Hickory
Creek this year. He has 100 acres Of
clover intended for seed, while many
others in his neighborhood will have
more or less. In other parts Of the
county, farmers will have more or less
clover reserved for seed. We hope
every bushel that can, may be saved,
and that our seed merchants may be
able to buy their supplies of clover
seed at home next spring. When the
farmers adopt the plan of making their
seeds, then may we look for largely
increased crops of grass, and greater
prosperity,
Lands now worth S. to $40 per acre
for grain, when well set in clover or
other tame grasses will be worth $50
per acre. The surest and shortest way
to prosperity is through liberal use
of the grasses, such as may be best
adapted to the soil. Within the next
ten years the farmers of this and other
counties should make and sell enough
clover and other grass seeds to REIN
burse them for all they have expended
for seeds during the last ten years.
Grass crops, if well cared for, will be
found much more profitable and les:
expensive than the cereals.

Abortion in Cows.

New England Farmer.
"A Madbury, N. H., correspondent
sends descriptive details of symptoms
of what is undoubtedly abortion in his
herd of COWS.
The neighbours COW, which was
taken to board and which had previ,
ously aborted, was probably the cause
of the outbreak in the herd to which
she was introduced.
Abortion occurs most usually near
the seventh month, but may occur ear
lier or later. 1t attacks heifers as we'll
as old cows. The symptoms are sell
dom observable more than two or
three days before the calf is dropped;
sometimes only an hour or two. Abor-
ted COWS increase in their flow, after
abortion, and heifers make small bags
and give little milk, but rarely as
much as if they had completed their
full time.
Of the cause of enzootic abortion.
very little is really known. An injury,
as slipping on the ice, or stable floor,
or blow from brutal mans boot, or
the horn ofan ugly companion, may
be the cause of an individual case, at.
ter which others may follow without
apparent cause. Bad food or water,
or impure air may also cause it. To
guard against it, guard against all in
juries and other untavorable treat.
ment But when case occurs, the
first step is to remove the aborted cow
to room by herself, away from all
pregnant cattle, in distant building,
if convenient, and have her taken care
of by some one who does not have the
care Of healthy COWS. Disinfect the
hospital frequently and keep it as clean
as possible, using whitewash or carbolic
acid wash, or hot water, or all of them,
to purify the room as often as neces-
sary. Use the hospital only for lying
in cows. Bury or burn the litter ard
filth, or if used to manure the land,
keep healthy cows from coming in con-
tact with it for several weeks or
months.
Farmers who observe all these rules,
and raise their own stock, instead of
buying it from their neighbors, ought
to be measurably free from this diff
