woman's Self. Sacrifice.
[st. Louis Globe-Dsmocrat.l


Woman IS naturally mora buoyant and
optimistic than man. She viii endure
more, hoping for good times yet Her
nature is more plant. elastic, upward-look-
ing. She has not only done more for the
human race than man, she is determined to
do more. She i; q natural martyr. She
seldom commits suicide; she often dies for
other Altruism is stronger with her than
selfshness. The consequence is that a
woman who does not care to hope or plan
for the future is q very devil She destroys
and sacrifices others for the slightest whims
or pleasures.
The future of the race is far more de-
pendent on the creation of a noble race of
mothers than on all other causes combined.

Cut the Grass at Night.

1t is very much better to cut grass
in the afternoon, says the New Eng
land Times, than in the morning
when wet with dew. Cut it so late
in the afternoon that it will not have
dried at all crispy, and the dew Ofthe
following night will not Injure it in the
least. We have aimed to cut all the
grass afternoons, after the team has
finished hauling in the cured hay.
1t is cool then, and one may run the
machine until well into the evening,
if the work is driving and the surface
of the field is smooth and free from
Instructions that would endanger the
machine. The next morning, after
the dew is dried off, set the tedder 60
ing and keep it busy until noon. In
the afternoon the hay will be dry
enough to go into the barn, and there
has been no expense in cooking and
opening out the cocks again in the
morning, as by the old, and still quite
common, way. When grass is cut
with a heavy dew on, it takes the
best part of the first day to get the
dew dried off; and it becomes necessa'
ry to bunch it upat night, or leave it
in the winrow for another days dry
ing. By adopting the method of at
ternoon guessing, the risk from bad
weather is reduced about one-half,
and the labor and cost of curing quite
materially. Itnever Injuries grass tc
get wet after being cut if it has not
become wilted. The heavier the crop
the greater will be the gain from cut
ting in the afternoon. From two to
four hours of hot sunshine upon grass
free from dew is amply sufficient
for making it into the best Of hay II
it is kept stirred during the time with
a good tedder. If the crop is very
light, the tedder may be dispensed
with.

Cotton.

A New York special to the Chicago
Inter Ocean says: Holders of the
stocks and bonds of southern railroads
are finding much encouragement in
the present cotton prospects. Re-
ports show an improvement over the
close of July, when the crop was most
PROMISING. Dry weather is COM
planned of in some of the states, but
nowhere has it assumed the propor>
tions of a drouth. The plant is now
at its most critical stage. The last
two crops were cut short by drouth.
Three short crops in succession, how,
ever, have never been known. 1t is
therefore held that this years crop
must be big one. The crop of 1882
was only a few thousand short of
100000 bales. Since then the
acreage has been a good deal increas.
ed, so much so indeed that predic ions
are now freely made Of crop of
7,500,000 bales. Should this be the
case, the boys at Manchester will
hardly fail to have cheaper shirts.
The weather for the next two weeks
will be of the very first Importance.
To insure the big crop talked about
the weather must continue favorable
through August, and say .or the first
ten days of September. Two more
weeks will insure the Texas crop, but
full maturity in the Carolinas and in
Tennessee will require longer. Then
too. a continuance of favorable wealth
er through the autumn might raise
the crop toward $4,000, 600 bales
though it is doubtful if that mucl
cotton could he picked by the Presen
slow hand method.
