THAT SORGHUM QUESTION.

I have seen expressed through your COL
umns quite diversity of opinion relative
TO sorghum as a stock feed since I wrote
you on the subject. VIII now state that l
have known it to kill COWS in summer be-
fore there had been any frost. Can call to
mind one instance in particular. In 1856
two of our milk cows oy accident got into
patch of immature sorghum and eat only q
very small quantity of it. Both died
On account of the continued dry weather
Of that year sorghum failed to mature well
and l supposed this to be the cause of the
trouble. Up to this time I had never
known it to injure stock. And l may add
that l have never known frost-bitten sor-
eLum to hurt cattle, though 1 suppose it
might do so.
Would like to have your opinion as to
whether or not immature sorghum, due TO
drouth. would hurt cows, as we might have
another drouth like that of 1856 I would
furthermore be glad to have the opinion of
any of your correspondents well versed in
Borghumology. on the same subject,
through THE GAZETTE. ! raise sorghum as
stock feed every year, and therefore am a
party interested in this matter.

AMONG THE MAGAZINES.

In the March Atlantic Mr.. Gamaliel
Bradford, Jr., thus describes an American
pessimist in distinction from the European:
He is profoundly and completely skepti-
cal as they are; but, owing to difference
of race, or, it may be, to the traditions of
Puritanism that still inger in his blood, he
is less brutal than they-is, in fact, as far
as possible from brutality. From their
complete disbelief in all moral law, they
deduce profound viciousness and unclean-
ness of tone and habit, not from any great
pleasure in the enjoyments of the senses,
but simply from hatred of the conventional,
the bourgeois. To him such licentiousness
is wholly repulsive, it offends his taste; he
lives and thinks as purely as a fanatic.
Yes, he has inherited many things from
his Puritan ancestors, this child of the
Nineteenth century, whom they would
spurn and scorn more even than the fiercest
hereto or the most goddess debauchee.
Their glowing love of a sanity ideal still
fingers in his veins, possesses him at times
with wild desire for the beauty of holt
ness, making the void only blacker and
bleaker when il fades away. He has in
herited from them a fastidious scrupulosity
of conscience, which haunts him in minute
details, even when conscience itself has be-
come to HIM an idle illusion. Vices he has
none. Faults he may have, arising from
indifference and lack of enthusiasm; but
INC uuOh0 passive NiCu BVuIlSHSSS, UcH-
derness, mildness, infinite toleration-no
one has them more than he. These things
make him beloved in spite of the chill
which he casts over every thing, for he's
ready to listen to other peoples joys and
woes, and not burden them with his own.
Indeed, simply to meet him and talk with
him, you would never become aware of the
profound darkness at the bottom of his
heart. You would think him ready to
agree with your own Methodism or EMS
copalianism, or what not. Only rarely, if
you are unusually penetrating, there would
be glance that would put you on your
guard

what Shall We Make Our sunday9

What is to be the fate of our Sunday no
one can tell. Its fate ought to be fair and
even noble when one thinks about the
growth OF common sense. The idea of a
day of rest for man and beast ought TO ask
no aid from revelation, so easily should it
repose upon the wants of our race. And if
to this conception of rest be added the idea
of a certain high and moral education, the
day should still find ample support
in the processes of reason. A majority OF
Americans, perhaps, favor the day becauss
of their religious beliefs and feelings: but
almost the entire population ought to con-
TESS the value of q season by any former
period. The multiplying millions, the
awakened intellects which can grow in vice
US easily as in virtue, the needless work
and pain of a people made half wild by lib
erty, the value of all true education and
study, whether it comes from the arts OF
the fields or the sanctuary, join in asking
the thinkers powerful in the church to ds-
cover what kind of Sunday will most truly
bless men, not only as a religious being but
also as being capable of greatness and
happiness upon earth. The occupation of
this country by the European Sunday ought
to be looked upon as only calamity. Such
day intensifes passions the Sunday was
designed to abate. 1t doubles the oppor-.
tuEity Of both vice and crime. Under il
society can live indeed, but the spectacleis
a poor one compared with the vision Of
great nation in which the dreamer sees the
labors of the week all suspended for one
day, the dens of temptation all closed, the
churches, the parks, the libraries. the gal
leries. the fields all open, and frequented
by millions Of persons in youth or in old
age who one day in seven touch existence
on its greater side. If these millions can
not all feel with the Hebrews that God is in
the silence, they can all feel for one day
each week that there is much of nobleness
and happiness possible 10 mankind.-[Pro-
fessor David Swing, in the March Forum.

the cedar brakes here while yet quite small.
a gentleman noticing its peculiar dropping
habit while yet mere switch dug it up and
transferred it to his yard, where it has been
growing since. 81. A. BIEs.
Egan, Tex.
1t is certainly most remarkable freak
we have never before seen anything at all
like it. In point Of foliage It has every ap-
pearance of the common red cedar (Juni-
perus virginiana), and the wood and bark
appears as Of that species, but here the re-
semblsnce ceases. The branch sent is about
half an inch in diameter where taken from
the tree. but this at once breaks up into
slender branchlets, some of them measur-
ing fully i've feet in length and not being
much larger than an ordinary knitting
needle. There are dozen or more of these
long, slender branchlets on the specimen
before US, and each is closely set with
smaller branchlets, making them literal
masses of green from end to end, and not
larger around than mans arm. On an
average the branchlets are scarcely so large
as those Of the ordinary weeping willow.
Branches so slender hang downward, of
and doubtless the only one in the world.
We took your specimen to some of our
best-informed Fort Worth nurserymen-
they had never seen anything like it before
One of them, while on a visit to Egan, had
heard of the tree, which seemed to have
acquired considerable local celebrity as
1.-THE weeping CEDAR but he was not af-
forded an opportunity of visiting the place
upon which it grew. He thought it would
make an important acquisition if propo-
gated, and, taking the long, slender
branches in his hand, called attention to
what a grand thing they would be for
evergreen festooning.
Such freak is exceedingly interesting
in its bearing on the origin of species. This
is evidently new species of cedar just
started, for under the circumstances sur
rounding its origin it could not possibly be
a cross or hybrid. One can imagine how
Mr.. Darwin, the great scientist, would have
been delighted with such find.
The tree could, 10 doubt, be propagated
easily enough by the method known as ''pot
layering." Take an ordinary flower pot
and fill it about half full of soil Set it on
something high enough so you can bring a
small limb into it. Bend the limb down
into the pot leaving foot or so of the end
sticking out, and then fill the pot with soil,
packing it firmly above the bent limb.
Leave the pot in position through the sum-
mer, keeping the soil well watered. We
think each limb so treated would take root
in the pot and be ready to cut from the
tree and set out next fall To save the
trouble of fixing a support for the pots they
might be securely tied to the larger
branches or into crotches of the tree. Old |
buckets or large tin cans might be made to
serve very well as substitutes for flower
pots. The main thing is to have the soil |
well packed about the branchlet, and to
keep it well watered. The matter should |
be attended to at once, for it would GER
tainly be shame not to perpetuate so in
teresting growth.
