Grass for Shaded Lands.

Orchard grass. as its name indicates,
is especially well adapted to shaded
grounds. 1t is. furthermore, nutritious,
and makes good pasturage and good hay.
For the latter it is well 10 SOW it with
clover, as they are ready to cut at the
same time and both begin fresh growth
INN eaiately after the cutting. Orchard
grass has the habit Of growing in stools
or clumps, and unless sown very thick
does not cover the ground fully. For
this reason II Is best 10 mix with it one
or more other varieties. For ground so
much shaded that the general varieties
of grass will not flourish. blue grass will
make a better mixture than clover, but
the chief reliance will be on the orchard
grass. When sown singly from twenty
to thirty pounds OF orchard or blue grass
is commonly used on an acre, but where

danger Of sowing too much. Seed OF
both these varieties can usually be found

\ Suggestion to the Water Works
Committee.


SAVANNAH, March 10.-Editor Morning
Ne1Cs: send you a clipping from the

Feb. 10. which shows the estimation in
which well-known citizen of Savannah,
Capt. s. J. Whiteside, is held in that city.
With no blame attached to the manage
meut of those in charge of the water works,
would it not be well for them to ask the
advice of Capt Whiteside relative to
getting an increased flow from the artesian
wells There is no doubt that he could give
them some information. A great saving to
the city might be effected. Now is the
time to ask information before mora money
is spent on the new water works plant con-
tenplated. CITIZEN.
The following is an extract from the
clipping:
at this juncture it has been determined to
desst from sinking additional wells, aud to
treat well No 2 in the manner suggested by Mr.
Samuel j. WhitesIde Of Crescent City ice

With little additional expense Mr.. whiteside
has increased the outflow from well disoharg
ing eighty gallons per minute TO 100 gallons
per minute.
When the proposed work Is completed and
the dual objects attained, viz: The flushing of
street cutters with fresh water. and giving to
the labortng man and bis family admirable
facilities for bathing and swimming, an appeal
may be made 10 the public for a very limited
