One of the most widely distributed and
valuable of all our pasture grasses is that
known as June or spear grass in the east
and blue grass in the west and south
(Poa pratensis), Fig. /. This native Amer
lean grass is the base of all our old seeded
meadows and pastures, as well as of the
velvety turf of our lawns and parks. 1t
propagates itself everywhere, driving out
the coarser kinds sown for hay and in
creasing from the roots as well as from
the seed. So hardy is it that it appears
to grow underneath the snow, through
which its purple green, spearlike blades
may be seen pricking erect and vigorous,
even in midwinter. Its dense sod, while
affording the best of pasturage and hay,
is, as every farmer knows, the surest of
fertilizers when turned under and plant
ed to Indian corn. The blades of this
grass are long, sharply keeled, of a full
green color and very abundant. Its
stalks vary i'll height from l to 3 feet,
and its open, spreading heads flower,
in New York and New England, from
the list to the 18th of June; in the west
and south from two to four weeks earlier.
AT the same time that June grass
blossoms comes orchard grass (Dactylis
glomerata), Fig. ,, a fine, rapid growing
species, the only II of its genus, and so
unlike anything else belonging to the or
der that no one can mistake it. This
grass was introduced from England,
where it is often called cocks foot
grass" from the shape of its flower
head. The blades are of IA dull, blush
green color, very long, open and album
dant, and for rapidity of growth equal
ed by none other. The stalks vary in
height from ? to 4 feet, and the flower
head consists of from six to eight large,
alternating clusters of spikelets, the
lower II of which projects some dis
lance beyond the others. The color of
the flower varies from lilac to a straw
tint. This grass, from its rapid growth,
on fertile soils easily affords two crops of
hay. 1t has been a favorite in the west
rather than in the east, where, however,
it has of late years become common.
A. w. Cheever, authority in the east,
says that about two bushels of orchard
grass and one bushel of June grass are

A red comb and an active, restless dis
position indicate a fowl hat is in perfect
health and that will give a good account
of itself. The slow, fat, sleepy looking
hens if not in poor health are at least
o in good condition. A hen that lays
a large number of eggs cannot afford to
be sleepy or droopy. Nature prompts
her to seek for a variety of food. Her
needs are urgent, and she has nc time to
fool away sitting on the roost or lazily
lounging in "A corner. The activity not
only promotes her health, but keeps her
in possession of a good appetite. She
works off the surplus fat and converts
the nitrogen and phosphates into eggs,
where she stores up all the elements
necessary to bring forth chicks, says
Southern Cultivator.

observations ON Tile Drainage.

H. C. Marsh, Indiana, describes exper-
iments in tile drainage made under the
auspices of the farmers institute of
Muncie. Three tile drains were laid
about 40 inches deep and at distances of
195 and 23O feet apart, on an area con-
tanning yellow clay, black soil and hard
pan. The height of the ground water
was observed in wells sunk in different
parts of the drained area. The results
are of interest as showing a wide differ
ence in the effectiveness of the drains ON
different soils and under different condi-
tions and indicate that the distance and
depth of tile drains must be determined
by observations on the soils in each case.

DISEASES OF WOMEN!

1t is an unusual thing to find q
woman in this age, who is perfectly
healthy in every way. Diseases Of
women was not taught as a special
branch until the last quarter Of this
century. This is why there are so
many diseased women. 1t requires
special study, special instruments and
special practice to cure diseased
women. DR.. Weden Smith the senior
member of this firm makes diseases
of women a specially. The doctor
for many years was private student Of
DR.. Maury Of Memphis and Doctor
George H. Engleman of ST. Louis,
two men who stand at the head in
their special lines. These splendid
opportunities and special practice for
nearly twenty-five years has qualified
him for splendid success. We wish
to say here and now, that 80 per cent
of ell diseases of women can be cured
quickly and permanently. Why do
you suffer and drag out.a miserable
existence when you can be cured to
your own satisfaction. Go and con.
suit DR.. Smith at once. Remember it
will cost you nothing to know the
truth. We can furnish you with
references to hundreds who have
been cured.
Come in al once, delay is danger.

minister proposes to conclude his sermon by
presenting the side of God on next Sabbath.
The authorities OF the grove have secured the
