THE experience Of American as well as

expected as natural, whether right or wrong.
We will content ourselves with saying that the

enthusiastic over the grandeur, the magnlncenss
intellectually, the high musicianly character OF
Bulow's playing, and we will draw from tnls
fact the logical moral that to have enabled MN

Hogs in the South.

A few years ago an enterprising
Ohio swine breeder conceived the idea
of working up trade for his surplus
stock at the South, and accordingly
entered few of his best swine for ex-
hibition at the North Carolina State
Fair. He was much surprised, after
being on the grounds two or three
days, to find that his fine pigs attract
cd no attention whatever, and more
so to find admiring crowds
around the pens containing native
specimens of the true "elm-peelcr"
type exhibited by the North Carolina
farmers. Our Ohio farmer finally
approached native Tar Heel" and
asked: "Why is it that those razor
backs over there attract so much no.
tice. while these wide-backed, heavy
quartered, short-legged pigs of mino
attract no attention whatever?" The
Tar Heem rolled his quid from one
side of his mouth to the other, looked
wise, shut one eye, squinted at the
Ohio man with the other. and said:

Winter Rye.

The last annual report of the United
States Department OF Agriculture has
this to say OF it: ut has an insignifi-
cant area and does not increase in pro-
portion to population. 1t is used
mainly by people of German descent,
and to limited extent in the Eastern
States in combination with maize. 1t
is scarcely grown in the South, and
but little in the West and on the Pacific
coast. In the South it is grown for
winter pasture" The prejudice against
rye arises mainly from the fact that II
grown on the same farm with wheat,
and it is threshed and stored in the
same barn, the grains will get mixed
in spite of the greatest caution, and
can not afterwards be thoroughly sep
arated with the best winnowing ma

HERE AND THERE.

Never mind about telling that you
have better stock than your neighbour.
The stock will tell that better than you
can, if it is fact.
When you sleep too little you are
using yourself as q man does piece
of machinery which he persists in rum
ming without greasing.
-Stock-raising and grass-growing
are joint occupations. A higher price
can be obtained for hay by converting
il into beef. while the manure remains
behind to add to the fertility of the

Some people want National flow
er adopted. The way some men seem
to encourage the growth of weeds,
they would unquestionably name the
flower of some weed in u fence corner.
There will be no crop of onions if
the ground is not rich and we'll pre-
pared. After the beds begin to start
they will not thrive If grass or weeds
grow among them. They must be
clear of all obstacles.
If any animal deserves, as a re-
ward for service to man, and as COM
pensation for days, weeks and years of
abuse; If any animal deserves a tram
quill future, a glorious pasturage trav-
ersed by never-failing crystal streams
of water, surely that animal must be
the horse.
1t costs no more, says the Mary
land Farmer, to raise and harvest 800
bushels of Swedish turnips than it does
for $50 bushels of potatoes, and there
is more fun in it. Only learn how.
and do away with the feeling that it is
gardening and requires skill, and
then go ahead.
1t requires patience to take care
of a flock of sheep. To turn them out
on the bare fields to shift for them
selves will not render them profitable.
The flock master should be as atten-
tive to his flocks of sheep as their
care demands, and when this is done
they will amply repay all the outlay
bestowed upon them.
Government figures on the sheer
industry of the United States show 6
decrease in number during 1888 Of -four

A Noteu ARTIST Ieits something ABOUT HOW
Battle Is Sketched.
Many persons have said that since
my duty was only to see, and not to
fight, they should think that l would
not be shot at, and so did not incur
much danger Of being hit.
Ordinarily. of course. the fact is
that, in general engagement, special
individuals who do not seem to be
prominent are seldom selected as tar
gets, but II your own chance is no
worse, it is surely no better than that
of others near you. To really see a
battle. however. one must accept the
most dangerous situations. for in most
cases this can not possibly be avoided.
There have been occasions when
some Industrious sharp-shooter tro ub-
led me by too personal direction of
his bullets. No doubt the man re-
garded me as somebody on the other
side, and considered he was there to
shoot at any thing or any body on the
other side. My most peculiar expert
ence of this sort was having sketch

whirling over my shoulder. At an

A MODEL ShOE.BOX.
An Inexpensive Luxury Which Every

An inexpensive Luxury Which Every
Woman Would Appreciate.
Where two people occupy the same
room, how to dispose of their Joint
possessions in shoes is really quite a
problem, and we think we have
solved it in our family Formerly we
had strong linen bag with a double
row of pockets fastened to the inside
OF the closet door, but the boots were
always falling out, and, besides, they
made the door SO heavy that we cast
about for something that would be
more convenient A wooden box in
the cellar looked promising, and
after having been brought up and In
spected, it seemed to answer all tho
requirements. A carpenter was called
In to make lid and hinge it on-a
piece of work which we might have
done ourselves If we had possessed the
proper tools. We took our old shoe
bag, cut it in half, and tackled one
row of pockets on one side, and one
on the other Of the inside Of the box,
q few inches from the top. Two
extra pockets were made for each end.
and we now have fourteen-seven
apiece; luxury which every woman
will appreciate.
Our box Is rather peculiar In shape,
being about thirty inches long by fif-
teen wide, and trifle over foot and
a-half high. It's height gives it much
the appearance OF a small chest and
the extra space inside below the
pockets is very useful for wrapping
paper, Irvine, etc. 1t is OF Japanese
manufacture evidently, and contained
an umbrella jar when it came to us.
There are various gay pictures OF fans
and beetles pasted on 1t, and these we
left, painting around them with ma
hogany stain. II preferred, the box
might be covered with gay cretonne
or calico, instead of being paint
ed; In which case the lid could
be padded, and would make a
very comfortable bench. Apropos
of shoes, have read somewhere that
four pairs of shoes purchased at the
same time and worn alternately will
last eight times as long as one pair.
How true this is am unable to say,
but wouldn't it be worth while to try
the experiment. In case any of my
readers should be tempted to do So
my shoe-box with its fourteen pockets
will be thoroughly appreciated, for

he saw it: THAT box is worth all il

late fall to spring for sheep and young

of rye for winter grazing, as we'll as
OF the large amount of iirst-class forage
to be secured by the blades, shucks
and stalks of corn, when the crop is
harvested in the manner suggested.
But we wish to use the rye as stone
which twill kill two birds at the same
time" When the rye is sown-say
from the LIST to the 18th OF August in
Virginia-put broadcast 800 to 400
pounds OF good acid phosphate, 200
pounds OF kainit, or other form OF
potash; harrow these thoroughly in,
and as finish. SOW one gallon OF
clover and two bushels of orchard
grass seed to the acre, lightly harrow
ing or brushing these seeds, if there is
no appearance of an early rain. The
rye will shelter and protect the young
grass during winter, and when spring
comes, let the rye get into bloom, and
then NOW it and let lie as mulch to the
young grass, which will establish and
protect it against the hot weather of
summer. This method OF using rye is
preferable to its production of grain
and straw. Its average yield of grain
Is rather higher than wheat, but it's
average price will rarely go beyond
eighty cents bushel; and whilst the
straw is in fair demand for the man
ufacture of coarse paper and for stuff
ing horse collars, yet the price to be
realized is not very remunerative.
The loss of the grain and straw in the
proposed manner Is more than coun-
terbalanced by the winter grazing it
affords, by its protection in winter TO
the young grass, and by its further
protection by its mulch from the heat
and droughts of summer, to say moth
ing of the fertilizing effects OF the de-
caying swath on the land. We have
made some small experiments in this
direction by which our suggestions are
prompted, and as a reasonable and
sound theory, we think this is one OF
the simplest and cheapest means for
getting the land set in grass. The pre-
vailing method of sowing grass seed
in spring, leaves the young plants to
the hazard of summer heat and drought,
whilst grasses sown in the last month
of summer will have the benefit Of
the usual fall rains and will be wei
rooted by spring. being thus advanced

Their Objects Being Identical They Should
Work Together.
In former times ed u cation, especial
ly In countries where the masses did
not constitute the governing class. was
largely private affair, with which
the State had nothing in particular to
do. AS parent clothed his child, so
he educated him; and the quality of
the clothing and the extent of the edu-
cation depended upon the means and
wishes of the parent. This Govern
ment was based upon the principle
that there should be no politically
privileged class, and that with the in
dividuals OF tho community should
rest the governing power. That a
government of this kind might be a
success general intelligence was neces-
sary; and as none were to be privi-
legged, equal advantage had to be given
to all. The State, therefore, estab-
lished schools and became an educator,
thus relieving the parent of part of
the responsibility in the rearing of his
child. Because the State has assumed
r. part of the parental Office, there has
been a tendency on the part of parents
to throw too much responsibility upon
the shoulders of the State. The public
school is apt to be looked upon as an
intellectual and moral mill. The mill.
er places corn in the hopper and il
comes out ground. In much the same
way many parent places "a child in a
school and expects him to come out,

generally agree that there is sac
lack OF cooperation on the part o
parents of school children, especially
when they have reached the high
schools or upper grades in the gram
mar schools. Too many other parents
leave the whole matter of the child:

1t is prominently the duty of the
teacher to instruct and to discipline
and it is equally the duty Of the paren
to cooperate with the teacher in every
possible way. The parent should be
interested in helping the child to form
studious habits and should superin
tend the progress made. The parent
should teach the child that going t,
school is business and must not b.
neglected. The objects of the teache
and parent are identical and the,

The old system OF killing up vege-

to the limbo OF departed absurdities,
never to be resurrected while the sun

grandson, and is even now very slow
In relaxing its grip on the minds and
habits OF men.
There is a vast deal OF good COM
mon sense in the above, which cor
respondent of the Indiana Farmer
writes. He thinks that there might
have been some excuse in the early
settling up of this country for the hill
ing-up process when the soil was sat-
urated with a superabundanoe OF
moisture. and it was desirable to rid
the vegetables of that extra dampness
BY draining it away from the plants,
but that reason has long ceased to ex-
list, for the country is cleared up, the
ground is amply drained by open and
tile bitches, and plants nowadays often
suffer more from want of moisture
than from an excess of it; hence it be.
hooves us now to seek a better method
of culture and to adopt that method
which is best suited to the condition
of our soil and climate.
With that object in view this gentle
man experimental to some extent ani
found the following method decidedly
