Blue Grass.

Blue grass forms very nearly per-
feet pasturage. The fall rains make
it furnish nutritious food until the
snow covers it, so that the grazing sea-
son is heightened in the autumn as well
as fastened in the spring. 1t is the
least injured by tramping of all the
grasses. No words can speak for it as
can the fact that it is the basis for the
finest agricultural product grown upon
American soil-the Kentucky horse.

The Sod of Old Meadows.

The sod OF old meadows sometimes
becomes so matted as to be unproduc-
tive, and the impression prevails among
those who don't know better that such
land is worn out, exhausted. Whereas
the trouble is the land is too crowded.
The remedy is simply to go over it with
a sharp tooth harrow, and. while tear
ing out about half the plants, admit
ting air to the rest.

A Dish of Lamb Chops.

Trim a dozen lamb chops and brown
them lightly on each side in very lit
tie butter in the frying pan. When they
are quite dry, for there must be small
quantity Of butter, pour over them q
little stock, or beef essence reduced in
hot water; let them simmer In this, as
lamb takes long cooking, turning them
from side to side until this also is dried
up and the meat quite tender. Put them
into Il dish and pour around them the
contents of a can Of button mushrooms
that have been quickly heated, and q
little butter added.

Saving WODd by Wind Power.

The accompanying illustration, taken
from the American Agriculturist. pre-
sents a plan for using windmill power
for saving wood-simply converting
the perpendicular motion of the pump
rod into vertical one and using it to
propel drag or crosscut saw. Any
good crosscut saw may be used, or a
piece of an old logging saw three or
four leet long will answer. To give the
saw sufficient motion, it is necessary
to attach the short arm Of the bent iron
to the rod from the windmill crank. At
the left is post, a, on which at are

Shading the Soil.

This is of great advantage in con
verting ammonia into nitrates, a pro
cess which has served to enrich forest
lands while they are covered WIFI
dense growth. The mulch OF leaves
added annually is a carpet which pre-
vents influence by the direct rays OF
the sun. That a soil which grows for
est trees increases in fertility is demon
strated by the larger crops grown upon
such virgin" soil after it has been
cleared of it's forest growth. On the
same principle the mulching Of the sol
with dense crop, or with leaves, is
beneficial in certain respects.

Fnn Woods Coming In.

Advices were received in this city
from the south yesterday to the effect
that the first consignment of fall woods
from the south would reach Salina to-
day or tomorrow. 1t will consist of
about 10000 POUNDS and probably make
up the entire clip for this fall. This
wool is from the backs of the sheep
that are ranged OFF toward the breaks
of the Colorado, and these are practi-
cally the only focks clipped in the fall.
The statement Is made that the staple
Is very fine, and as the wool market is

While the amount of the dividend

at least afford the stockholders of the

time ago would be the case, the board
Of directors of the company has
figured up the net earnings Of the
corporation for the past year and
fixed the per cent of earnings distri-
button 1t was 3 per cent. and the
holders of stock are at liberty to at
once draw that amount on their capital
stock in the products of the mills of
the company. The statements of the
operations of the company for the past
year and the returns from the same
were of a most encouraging nature,
although they did not show any fabul-
Gus amount earned. Still the affairs

brighter than for some time past. If

The selectman spoke of several other
schemes now contemplated by the
board all of whom now view the
situation in it's true light and. however
much against their principle or wishes,
they are now of one accord in that they
must slow up and back water, and get
out of the weeds or get sWamped be-

them with a vengeance, and they are

To Divide the County.
Some time ago it will be- remem-
bered that Selectman Christophe=son
made an effort to curtal expenses by
dividing the county into two road dis
tricts, allowing Roberts to look after
one and himself the other. leaving Mr..
Geddes to mis- pauper mileage all to
himself. This was agreed TO at one
meeting and them rescinded at the
next. 1T was too fair proposition to
suit Geddes, perhaps, and was taking
too much mileage away from the pau
per prince" and he demanded a
further pull in that direction. Buzz now
the error of these mileage ways
have been SO thoroughly exposed that
Roberts and Geddes have concluded
that the opinion of the public is even
as great, and carries as much weight
with it, as that of THE county board
and therefore with a grand jury in
vestigattOn staring them in the face
they have concluded to divide the
county as first suggested, the full par
ticulars of which will be fully de-
veloped tomorrow ait o'clock. at the
adjourned meeting of the board.
