SOWING RYE.

Rye is a crop easily raised and is sub
ject to fewer casualties than wheat and
grows freely on soils that will not
produce remunerative crops of other
grains. 1t may often be profitably sown
in the fall on light soils as a kind OF
supplementary crop which may be used
for winter pasture when the ground is
frozen, and also be cut for soling in
early spring, when the green stubble
can be turned under as a fertilizer for q
coming crop. On ground we'll adapted
to the 'ulture of the sweet potato rye is
an excellent crop to precede it, and,
whether pasturcd or cut for soiling, the
remains of the rye when plowed under
will be of considerable benefit to the
root crop. Then, if equal care is taken
to turn under the sweet potato vines
after the harvesting, successive crops
may be raised with but little fertilizing
material other than what is furnished by
the rye and the potato vines. The
latter contain much fertilizing matter,
which, if all saved, will go a good ways
toward making up for what is carried off
in the tubers. The trouble in such cases
often is that the rye is so promising i'll
its appearance in the spring that the in
ducement to keep it few weeks longer
for the grain and straw is too strong to
permit of its being plowcd under for
green manure. While the amount of
fertility derived from the green rye
would not be large, the cost of the seed
would be small, and the seeding would
be done at a time when farm work is
not pressing. 1t would therefore seem
that such use of land at a season when
it would otherwise be unemployed might
often be advisable. New York World.

GALLOWAY AND ANGUS CATTLE.

There is considerable difference be.
tween Galloway and Angus cattle,
although both are black and hoInless.
The former belong to the west coast OF
Scotland, the latter to the east coast and
the neighborhood of the city of Aber-
deem, whence they are called sometimes
Aberdeen or Aberdeen-An cattle.
These are finer in form and hair than
the Galloways, which have long, silky
hair and stouter build. Both are good
beeves, but the Angus are the better
mixers and give exceedingly rich milk.

SOAP MAKING.

The following is good recipe for
making soap: To one pound of potash
add three gallons of water until 1t is
dissolved; then add three pounds of any
kind of soap grease, the cleaner the bet
ter, to the lye, and set it to boiling. Let
it boil slowly so that it will not boil
over. 1t usually becomes soap after
boiling from one to five hours. If it
boils down before it becomes sap, add
sufficient water to keep the same guam
tity in the kettle until it is soap; then
add nine gallons of water and stir well
together; when cool, this will be beau
tiful white soap if the grease was clean.

WHIT FREE COIN1lGK MEANS

WHAT FREE COINlGE MEANS.
As now used in our national politics.
free coinage means these several
things, viz:
/. That every man shall have a
right to bring his silver to the mint,
not to sell to the government. as is the
present practice. but to have it coined
for himself.
2. That the government shall coin
this private silver free of charge.
3. That the government shall coin
dollar containing 371 IA grains, OF
thereabouts, of pure silver, instead of
412 grains, as in the standard silve'
dollar.
4. That the government shall de-
clare this debased dollar worth only 81
cents or thereabouts, to he worth 1O(
cents, and shall make this 67 cent dol
lar legal tender at it's face valne fol
all debts and obligations in the United
| States.
To state this scheme is to expose th
fraud on the very face of it.-Ne,

Rapid Work for Fingers.

The deaf and dumb, as every one knows,
''speak" by means of their fingers. How
many words, then. can a good hand speaker
form in a minute? The average number of
letters per word in the English language is
five. Now a ready hand speaker can make
the English alphabet ten times in min
ute-that is to say, 260 letters 1t is usual
for him to pause for the space of one letter
after each word to show that the word is
complete If therefore we subtract from
the total just given about one-siXth for
these stoppages, the total will be reduced
to 2l5 letters.
Let this he divided by five, the average
number of letters per word, and we shall
find that a fairly expert deaf and dumb
person will speak forty-three words per
minute. y person in possession of speech
will probably speak $50 words in the same
space of time.-Yankee Blade.

They Work while others Rest.

Throughout England ''drapery' stores
are closed one afternoon in each week, in
most places Thursday afternoon, as that is
their slackest day; but although the clerks
and many others in the employ of the firm
may take themselves off to pleasure, this
is a busy time for the window decorator
the cleaners, scrubbers and general inte-
rior decorators. These have to work for
all they are worth, for the morning must
show complete transformation scene in
every part. This policy is followed to a
limited extent in a certain line of the re-
tail dry goods trade in New York city On
the east side and down town, especially
where night trade is catered to, some of
the stores are closed on Thursday after
noon and a few on Friday afternoon.-Dry

Too Big a Family for Him.

A tall, solemn looking young man en-
tered the restaurant with a mild, apollo
getic air and seated himself at vacant ia
BILE near the middle of the room. 1t was
evident that he dreaded to intrude. He
wanted to get far away from other peo-
pie as possible. He even blushed painfully
when he gave his order, and the most cas-
ual observer could have told that he was
bashful.
Just as his dinner was brought to him a
buXom looking women with seven small
children entered the place. The head
waiter swept the field with his eye,
pounced down upon the table where the
young man had sought solitude, motioned
to the mother, who clucked to the chick
ems, and a moment later they We're all
around that one table. That young mans
face was serial story.
Other people entered the restaurant,
glanced at the group, smiled significantly
and seated themselves. He doesn't look
it, does he?" queried pleasant faced old
lady in an audible whisper. she looks at
least ten years older than he" murmured
a girl at the next table.
He flew to the hatrack, tossed a dollar to
the cashier and tried to go through the
door without opening it.-Detroit Tribune.

The Etinuette of Cues.

In China the men take as much pride in
their hair as women, and the ''pigtail'' is a
thing of no little moment. In making the
cue the whole head is shaved except a
circular patch upon the crown. The hair
from this is braided, and strands of silk are
added, which end in a tassel reaching to
the heels. In full mourning the black
strands are replaced by white ones, and in
second mourning by light blue or green.
1t is an objectionable breach of etiquette
for An inferior to enter the presence of a
superior with his cue wound round his
neck or head, it is frequently disposed
of during work, and the greatest insult
one man can offer another is to pull his
cue. 1t seems very odd to see sailors
and soldiers on ship or in barracks comb
ing each others long tresses or coolies at
the street corners performing the same
friendly office. Custom forbids man to
wear beard and mustacbe until he be-
comes randfather.-Detroit Free Press.
