Something About Hay.

Most farmers have noticed that hay
rapidly wastes when handled two OF
three times in winter. II they are
obliged TO buy n load toward spring
it does not so Sc far as that pitched
directly from their own bays or stacks
into the feed managers or boxes. There
IS doubtless considerable waste of the
tincr portions of the hay. which ae
broken of and fall on the ground dur.
ing the repeated handling. But the
ne%wly-mown hay is not packed closely
and can not be, it is so dry. 1t looks
to be more than it is. II the farmer in
spring is obliged to buy hay he should
usually feed more grain 10 make it 90
farther. The one advantage of hay on
most farms is that il is on the prem
ises. and it costs more "a market il
than it does grain. The latter in most
places furnishes the cheaper nutri-
ment. and when both have TO be
bought tho cheaper handling of grain
is an argument In Its favor as against
hay or eoarser teeI-Lndiasapolis

saying those words over to herself
with n heart full of tender enthusiasm.
There had been n meeting Of some of
the village folks in the church parlor
to get up n programme for Decoration
Day. and there had been suggested n
new feature for the cole bration. Bands
of girls. five or six together. were to
make and decorate white shield shaped
banners. each bearing in evergreen
letters the name of some one Of the
village heroes who had died in the
war. Then from the church porch
each band IN urn was to deliver her
banner TO n band Of young men who
were to carry it in the procession. and
aftcrward TO range 1t back of the
stand where tho speaking was to be.
Rachel was at the head OF one of these
bands. and whose banner should she
make il not that of her own Uncle
R;chardp-her fathers noble young
brother. whose cap and sword
hung over the fireplace in the
sitting-room at home. and whom she
had loved all her life. though she had
never seen him. Already i'm thought
she was claSping her banner. To her
just now the world was a place iull of
beautiful young heroism and beautiful
remembrance for which the soft spring
evening with budding leaves and tend
er bird-song made n fitting frame.
But n shadow fell upon Rachel s
thoughts rs she passed n low. brown
house, the next below her own home.
II looked deserted. Heavy green shut

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
Which Opens In Cincinnati July 4.

No event Of the past decade has created
as much interest in the whole country as
the coming of tho Centennial Exposition OF
the Ohio Valley and Central States, which
opens its doors in Cincinnati on the nations
birthday July ~, to continue for one hun
dred days and nights-a celebration in honor
Of the one hundTcdth anniversary OF tho

Unlimited means rave been placed at the
disposal Of the managers by the enterpris-
ing business element Of the Queen City, and
nothing is being left undone that will con-
ducc TO the success OF the undertaking. In
stead Of q local-as some suppose-it is q
National event, made so by the hearty Co
operation On the part Of q dozen OF the chief
States in the Union, and the encouragement
given IL by the fact that "Uncle Sam" in

Of which has been recommended by a Con-

was referred.
The guarantee fund OF one million and
fifty thousand dollars, which the Board Of
Commissioner have at their command, has
enabled them 10 provide magnificent quar-
ters in which 10 display the mass of articles
already offered, and these, in conjunction
with the permanent building in which nu-
merous Expeditions on "A smaller scale have
been held, and which cost over one million

ties than were ever enjoyed by any thing OF
the kind ever held in this country, not ex-
