condition, Sometimes the ground can be
prepared and sown early in spring, if the
soil is dry, or it may be best, in case Of
wet weather, to delay the seeding even
till autumn, The work Of preparation
may be done by hand or by subsoiling
and narrowing with horse power, &C
cordiuE to the amount Of land.
Country Gentleman gives tho follow
Ing advice about preparing a lawn for
seeding and also for turing, explaining
its suggestions with the cuts here repro
duced.
To make it sufficiently rich, finely
broken manure must be worked in
through the soil; this will aid in giving
a green lawn in times Of drought. The
application Of pulverized lime, at the
rate of peck to a square rod, will be
useful, if well narrowed or rakcd in.
The grass seed should be sown on a finely
pulverized, smooth, mellow surface, and
brushed or rolled in, so as not to bury
the seed over half an inch, and warm
and moist weather win soon give the
new green carpet, The best grass is

Tho Devons as Beef and Dairy Cattle.

Tho Devons as Beef and Dairy Cattle.
The dairyman who looks to the pro-
duction of beef in connection with but
ter dairying and who is on rough. hilly
pasturagc or thin soil, will hardly fail
to give some consideration to the merits
of the Devon cattle. In the dairy dis
tricts Of the south of England they arc
highly esteemed and largely used for tho
dairy. 1t is characteristic of the Devons
that they thrive better on poor and thin
soils than the Shorthorns. Their milk is
Of rich quality, making more butter in
proportion to quantity than that of other
breeds excepting the Alderney. They
have well shaped udders and teats, are
docile, easily MIXED and not unfre-
quently show remarkable yields. But it
is as a beef animal that tho Devon holds
pre-eminencc. 1t natures early, well
repays good feeding, and the flesh is fine,
delicately favored and juicy.
In the cut is shown a Devon steer, the
champion of the recent Smithfield show
Of England, and q first winner of his
class at Birmingham. The champion
headed a show Of fourteen 2-year-old
Devons. This beautiful animal, on the
day Of his distinguished victory was
9 years, II months and 4 weeks old and
scaled Is cwt. l Or, his daily gain since
birth being 1.G6 pounds For thickness

ton met in the Seventh Avenue Hotel at
10 o'clock this morning,
Hon. John Mcdowell, the President,
was in the chair, lie stated that the OBJ
jeCt OF the meeting was TO devise means
BY which the wool growers could get the
protection they needed,
"What we want to do" he said, "is to
protect our home markets. The wool
grOwvfHmust stand together, A call hRs
been made for the wool growers to be
represented at Washington and We will
have TO meet the free traders from the
East. Now II is for you to say whether
or not we are 10 be represented at WASH
iugtOu."
Remarks on the same line were made
by other members, and the general SEN
tiInent OF th1 Association found express
sion in tue resolutions that were adopt
ed In the afternoon.
The resolutions protest:
!. Against classifying wool as raw ma
terial, or anything into the production
OF which as much capital. brains and
labor are absorbed, MS into the produC-
tion Of wool; and especially against the
sentiment now growing in some quarters
in favor OF admitting such alleged raw
materials into this country free OF duty.
.. We also protest against the mOditi-
cation Of the turllf on wool no as to sub
stitute nd valOrem for specific duties.
3. We insist upon such an interpreta.
ton OF existing laws as shall be 10 the
greatest possible extent prevent frauds
in importation.
4 We Gull the especial attention OF the
Secretary OF the Treasury to the Quantl'
ties Of ring waste now coming into this
COuAtry, resulting in the displacement
Of much OF our American product, and
We ask for such rulings ~ may correct
the injustice under which We are suf-
tering.
8. We demand for ourselves only that
which We are willing to accord to all
other industries which, like our own,
depend largely upon protective duties
for their successful prosecution.
We do not want the earth. Weonly
demand that to which We believe We ARE
Justly entitled.
I. We urge upon the representative Of
the wOOl.grOwiug districts the import.
AnCe Of the choice Uf Speaker for the
Fifty.tirst Congress, and for that posi-.
tion heartily recommend Hon. William
Jr., OF Ohio, concerning
whose position respecting the wool in-
dustry there can be no question in the
mind of any one familiar with his coun-
try's recent history.

The machinery had been running about
twenty minutes, and the engineer hal
gone into the furnace room u attend to
some business, when an explosion
occurred that shook tho earth aud
sounded like the discharge OF u cannon,
This was followed Immediately by
another, and then in u minute or two
still another wUs heard.
II was finally found that three huge

1t was also discovered that while no
loss OF life has been sustained there

only wonder is in looking at the wreck
that dozen persons had not been

The total amount Of damage done will
