A Pair.

Bill by and old Joe seem to be as thick
as two peas in a pod. They have evinced
simultaneous love for each other that is
really amusing. The time was, and it ex-
listed for several years, when these two
worthless would not walk on the same
side of the street. But they
have now pooled their issues and
buried the Ratchet Of discord. Their
luminosity is now directed against the
ARGUS, which appears to harass their
thoughts aud scar their souls. The cause
of this hatred can be explained in one
word-jealousy. Bill Ely knows that his
morning sheet has lost what little prom
inence it ever had, and is now recognized
as an antiquated relic, used more for
papering shelves than anything else,
while Old Joe is like footless sock
without any leg, simply nothing.

The Moline Sensation


The wedding and breach Of promise
case of John o. Thompson, of Moline,
continues TO engage the attention of the
Plow city. 1t seems that Miss Sundell.
whose heart has been so badly shattered
by Thompson, is stopping in Moline at
the residence of X A. Norling A repre-
sentative of the Moline Republican called
upon Miss Sundcll, and found her I'M
willing to talk much upon the subject.
She said that she wanted the affair noised
about as little as possible. and preferred
to wait until the trial or at least until she
found what Mr. Thompson had to say
upon the subject. She says that she went
there last summer. after hearing that Mr..
Thompson was waiting upon Miss
Anderson, expressly to have an ex>
PLANTATION from him, and that had he at
that time explained his intention she
would have dropped the matter; but that
as he did not she felt that it was not more
than right for her to sue him for breach
of promise. She says that as soon as she
hear3 that lie had procured license to
marry she came on and commenced the
action, preferring to begin il before the
wedding took place, so that all parties
might know how the mater stood. She
denied that she did this a, the instance of
Others, and said that she brought the suit
upon her own responsibility.
If Thompson had remained single
probably the suit would not have been
brought, and his life would have been
filed with sunshine instead of submerged
with woe. To have the affection of two
females at one time generally gets the
best of any man.

GRASS AT THE SoUTH.-There is far
better pasture now in the Southern fields
than in the average Northern farmers
The prevalent Crab Grass is exceedingly
valuable, both for hay and pasture. 1t is
an annual, which comes up in July, and
soon covers the ground. In some fields
that one would think poor, to look at them,
the Crab-Grass could be mown just now,
and would yield at least one ton and a half
to the acre of very good hay. Some Of the
native grasses are as large as the best Gold
en- Millet, and punches five feet tall can be
cut in many places. Oat grass (A,renathe-
rum Avenaceum), grows four or five feet
tall, and where it is not disturbed thick on
the ground. Bermuda-Gras abounds, and
makes the best of summer pasture,
while nillets of all kinds are in their
glory, and fodder oorn will easily yield
twenty-five tons, green, per acre. Clover
and Timothy and Orchard Grass do better
than have seen them in the North my
own fields have been cut three times for
hay, and will make excellent fall and win
ter pasture. So that the grass question id
one that depends wholly upon the man, and
not on the land or climate; and where
grass grows luxuriantly, cattle, sheep,
horses, and pigs, will thrive, and butter,
wool, bacon, grain and fruit will also do
we'll, for grass is the key to the gate of the
farmers prosperity.-HENRY STEWART in

How HORSE FEEDs.-Something may
be learned by observing how horse picks
up his feed. either in grazing or when fed
in the stable. One will have very good
idea of the sensitiveness of the upper lip,
and how cleverly the horse gathers in the
choice herbage or hay, and rejects the waste.
This mobile, prehensible lip is constantly in
motion, and by it's sense of feeling, sepa-
rates the selected food from that which is
rejected. The horse can not see the her.
bage exactly under the mouth, but the lip
pushes away the undesirable food, and gath
ers with the greatest precision, that which
is selected from the rest. In weedy pas
ture, this instinct of the lip is brought into
action in a most peculiar and interesting
manner, and exhibits in striking degree,
the exquisite sensitiveness of the delicate
nerves Of this organ. One who has seen
this action of the lip, and realizes the great
sensitiveness Of it, will never permit him.
self to practice the excessive cruelty of put
ting twitch about horse's upper lip for
any purpose, for The torture of it must be

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect a radical cure.
= Some years ago one of Mr.. -4ELANp's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
iischarging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

PREPARING VEGETABLES FOR THE IA
BLE.-Asparagus should be freshly cut. II
necessary to keep it little time before
cooking, stand the stalks upright in dish
containing little water, in cool place.
Have the water boiling; salt it we'll, and
cook the asparagus, green part alone, about
twenty minutes, or until tender. Toast a
few slices of stale bread, and dip in the
water; butter them, and lay the stalks up.
on them, with thin shavings of butter over
all.
The portion of the preparation of greens
that nee DIS the most careful attention, is the
preliminary washing. Many a dish has
been ssspoiled by grittiness. With spinach
Or dandelions, for instance, take each clus-
ter, without distul bing the connecting root,
pick out stray bits of grass, then souse uI
and down in pailful of colo water, until
the soil is all rinsed off; finally cut off the
root. It is the most satisfactory way. Nc
limit of time can be given for cooking
greens, as that depands upon their age ard
freshness. Soft water should be used, salt.
ed. Some add little soda, thinking that
it preserves the green color. Dandelions
especially are considered wholesome in the
spring, as having a medicinal effect upon
the system. Young beets and turnips. with
the tops of each, horse radish tops, young
m TX weed, ''cowslips" Or marsh marigolds,
chicory,. and many others, are good as
greens.
Green peas, to be good, must be fresh.
Cook peas when shelled, in barely water
enough to cover them, They should cook
in about twenty minutes, but if not quite
fresh, it will take longer. Some boil the
clean young pods first, then remove them
and use that water to cook the peas. Rub
two tablespoonfuls of butter smoothly with
the same quantity If flour and add to the
peas when nearly done, letting it cook for

USE AND VALUE OF BONES Bones ma

phate of lime and the remainder organic
matter, containing about per cent. of nj
trogen, water and some little carbonate of
lime and magnesia. Commercially they are
in the shape of raw or fresh bone; steamed
bones, from which nearly all the organic
matter has been removed as glue, and bone
black, or animal charcoal which has been
used and exhausted in the syrup filters of
the sugar factories. The last is nearly all
phosphate of line and the steamed bone has
small quantity of nitrogen left in it. These
two kinds are chiefly used for making super
phos phate by treatment with sulphuric acid.
The raw bone is usually ground fine and
used in that state as fertilizer. For some
purposes it is the best of the three kinds, as
it is suff iently soluble and dissolves slow.
