HOME OF WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS.

A case in point is at hand, The illustra-
ton shows the residence of William Walter
Phelps Esq, at Englewood, n. J. It's "long,
low and rambling" enough TO suit the fancy
of the veriest young lady novelist. The dis
tinguished New Jersey congressman and his
family live here all the year when they are
at home, in preference to anywhere else Ills
house, like many other recent mansions, imi-
tates the farmhouse pattern. The cottages"
so-called, of the summer dwellers at our
watering places furnish some notable speci-
mems of architecture, though, like many other
things American, they are vastly overlone.
They are too fine, too large and costly to he
inhabited only four Inonths in the year. 1t
is pleasant to feel sure, though that many of
our suburban homes Of stone. brick and wood
are as handsome and tasteful INTELLECTUALLY
as any in the world With the wealth that is
rapidly increasing, the number Of these will
be constantly added to.
1t is a relief to know that the high, narrow,
box fashion of house is departing. Mod
erately low ceilings are far preferable to the
lofty slit in the wall which used to be thought
the correct thing When we go ono step
further and have houses built of plaster on
the outside, with rcd-tilcd roofs in ridges, that
will H. another steptoNard artistic beauty.

DR.. w. L. Jones, the accomplished agricul-
tural writer of The southern Cultivator, he
lieves with enthusiasm that the grains and
grasses will grow in the south. They should
be planted early, however, he thinks prefer
ably in September. A good strong autumn
growth will be to them in the south what
winter SHOWS are in the north.
On light, thin soils it is better to sow grass
seed, without any other grain and he insists
on heavy seeding, with very thin covering,
and the thorough use of the roller,
Dr. Jones finds that what is called the win
ter grazing oat of middle Georgia withstands
cold and does not rust, as far as he has had
experience of It, His crop was sown Oct. 80,
though that is rather late With barley and
rye his advice is as follows; To some extent
barley and rye can be made to take the place
of fall oatS-barlcy on the richer and rye on
the poorer lands. With these cover the bare
cotton fields during the winter and save them
from washing and teaching. Simply harrow
in the seed-don't break up the land and in
crease the facilities for washing. When
green these crops can be cut and fed to horses
and cows: when matured they can be har-
vested, threshed and ground and make most
excellent stock feed. Rye straw commands
ready sale for filling i'll horse collars and
other purposes, but the stalls and stock yards
may well dispose of it all. Our soils cry
aloud for humuS-let us take every oppOr
tunity to supply it. Some one has suggested
that oats and rye might be ,own together
if the oats should be killed the rye would not
and the land would still he occupied with a
desirable crop. We see no objection except
the unequal ripenng of the two crops, but as
rye will remain standing without waste for
some time after it ripens 1T could wait ON the
oats. Upon the whole the suggestion strikes
US as good one, worthy of being tested by
trial

Hon. A. Gilchrist yesterday received
the following telegram
CHICAGO. ILL.,, April IL, lSs6.-To
A. Gi7christ. Cheyenne. Hyo. !: The
Frontier Land and Cattle company sold
cattle at IS. IS per hundred, the average
weight being 1855 pounds per head"
There was more Of the telegram, but
the foregoing was all that related to the
sale Of the cattle. The lot of cattle thus
sold were originally range cattle, but were
rounded up and taken to Herman, Neb.,
last fall, at which place they have been
fed during the winter in preparation for
the spring market The sale is in all res
poets a remarkable one. The price OBJ
tanned is a very unusual one and the aver
age weight, 3S5-is also quite remar-
kable and is considerably above the aver
age. This sale, made as it has been early
IN the season. is a good omen, and it mas
reasonably be inferred from the circum-
stance that beef cattle will bring a higher
price this season than they did last season.
