FARM NOTES.

The long-continuen drouth has dried up
the pastures and caused q serious falling
off in the flow of milk. Those who were
thoughtful enough to provide for supply
of fodder corn now find their reward
With plenty of succulent corn fodder to-
supplement the parched pastures, they arc
ready to tide over the dry time. What
ever may be said Of soiling as an exclusive
practice, there can be no question about
the wisdom Of drilling in a patch OF fod-
der corn on every dairy farm.-Prairas
Farmer.
Where pastures are short by reason OF
peculiarities of the season, it will be well
to supplement them with millet and Hun
garian grass and rye. Bye Is as good fall
and spring pasture a. orchard grass. and
Of more certain growth in some localities
Millet and Hungarian seed may be sown:
any time up to August 18th, and will fur
nish pasture while the rye, which is not
sown till September, is growing. And
then. il the fall 10 late fair crop OF hay
may be made.-Kanxas Farmer.
The agricultural situation at the Agricul-
tural College farm may b briefly stated
thus: Wheat is q total failure from win
ter-killing; corn is . good crop-say any
where from fifty to seventy-five bushels OF
shelled corn per acre; oats, too, are as good
as can be, Q few thrcshed some time ago
gave yield of sixty to ninety bushels per
acre; the hay, again, is poor half CROP
the millet suffering greatly from both
drouth and chinch bugs; while pasturage,.
which has not been much benefited by the
light showers Of the season, is the poorest.
that We have known for years. On the
whole, the present season has been quite.

Rambling Talk /!


About the middle of last March
the idea occurred to us to present
every purchaser of q Boys Suit
vii h @ pair of roller skates. We
then ordered 1000 pairs (when
bought in such large quantities
the cost is but trifling), and on
last Friday we were compelled
10 duplicate the order. Inasmuch
as not single pair of skates left
our house unaccompanied by q
Boys or Child's Suit Of Clothes it
will be seen that in six weeks we
have sold over 1000 Suits for
Boys and Children. This In ITSELF
proves the popularity of our
goods, our prices, and our
m ct DIS of doing business.
Doubtless there are good many
parents and guardians who have
not yet seen our stock. our styles,
or our prices. To those we re-
spectfully extend a standing in
vitation to visit our house a.
their convenience, look through
our stock, compare our styles
and prices with those to be found
elsewhere, and then d o @ ! d @
whether our claim to keeping tho
finest goods and selling them at
the lowest price is q good one or
merely an idle boast. No visitor
is ever imroriuned to buy; oar
experience has been that when
goods are needed our styles and
prices sell them without any of.
fort. We keep Children's Suits
as low as $1.25, and right prstty
little suits they are. We have
them in every grade up to the
finest made. We keep Boys,
Youths, and Mems Clothing in
abundance, selected with caro-
and attention. Our styles are
the latest and nobbiest to be
found on the American market.
Our prices are the lowest that
can possibly be named for such
goods and live. We fancy our
methods meet with the approval
of our people.

The report of Col. Z. G. IIains of the
operations for the improvement of the Po-
tomac river front for the month OF April
has been made to the chief engineer in
charge Of that work During the month
work was done on the Washington aud
Virginia channels below the Long bridge
with three hydraulic dredges. Some delay
was caused in the early part of April by two
freshets, and another result from them was
a deposit Of sand and dirt along the
west side OF the Virginia channel below
Easby's Point, which In some places amounts
to more than four feet in depth, This re-
suit is liable to happen until the work is
completed and the width of the river is
diminished. So far there has been dredged
n channel SEQ feet wide and 90 deep
between West Washington and Glesboro
Point Three hundred acres have been re-
claimed from overflow at ordinary high tide.
About one-third of the work required to be
done TO fill the flats has been done, and the
dredging and other work will be carried on
as fast as possible.
