Beal, in his grasses of North America,
South Dakota experiment station gave
the following: Water, 6.S4; ash, 100;
ether extract, 2.S5: crude fiber, 1872;
says that this gras is known in some
parts Of the country as False oat-grass,
French rye-g grass, Evergreen grass.
], B. Lawes, Of England, says Of it.:
The endowments favorable to this
grass are its hardness, its comparative
indifference to the character of the soil,
its particularly ample root growth. both
deep and superficial, its strong, tufted
habit, and its early Towering tendency.
It yields a considerable quantity of foil
age on the culms, which affords good
deal of leafy feed in spring. It pro-
duces rapidly after cutting; its taste is
bitter. but it is not disliked by cattle.
II does not grow abundantly, except
upon Door soils, and is, upon the whole,
Of somewhat questionable value. 1t is
much grown in France"
Among English seedsmen there is a
very Door opinion of this grass, and
some call it a noxious weed. But on
this side of the Atlantic the results Of
experiences are different.
Prof. D. L. Phares, Of Mississippi
saws: 1T has a wonderful capacity for
outstanding the severest heats and
drouths of summer and colds OF winter.
It admits of being cut twice a year,
Welding twice as much hay as timothy,
and is probably the best winter grass
that can be obtained. To make good
hay it must be cut the instant it blooms.
For green soiling it may be cut focf or
five times, with favorable seasons.
Along the more southerly belt it may
be sown in November and onward till
tho middle Of December. It is one of
the most certain grasses to have good
catch"
Other American authors speak very
hixhly of 1t. Prof. Beal sums up his
investigation as follows:
1.-The writer has raised this grass on
rather light, sandy soil at Lansing.
Michigan, for twelve years or more. has
seen It in some other locah-
ties in the state. and thinks
he can tell why there are
such conflicting opinions In relation to
III value. In England the climate u

Moth Preventive.

There Is one sure preventive Of moths
and one which have never seen men
toned, says writer. 1t Is tansy.
Sprinkle the leaves freely about your
woolens and furs, and the moths will
never get into them. When l was
child my grandmother used to send me
to the tansy patch on the hill with q
large basket in which to bring homo
plenty Of tansy leaves. In the garnet
were five large hair-covered trunks.
studded with brass nails, filled with
her best blankets, coverlets. flannel
sheets, etc Some of them had never
been used until my grandmother had
grandchildren, Notwithstanding she al
ways had large family to provide beds
for. But the supply Of her bedding,
linen and other household articles were
in excess of the demand.
This large amount of bedding, table,
cloths, towels and linen sheets was
spun and woven in her fathers house.
and the girls were given full liberty to
take all they were willing to make up
for themselves. That was part OF their
marriage dover. l can we'll remember
how grandmother took the extra sup
ply out of those trunks in the garrett
once a yea1, hung the articles on
clothes-line down in the orchard, beat
them, and put them away again to lie
amid the tansy leaves until another
year. The fourth generation Of hel
posterity are sleeping under those same
blankets and blue and white coverlets
now. which proves the efficacy Of that
remedy of the olden time.-Good House.

WHERE THE BALL WENT.

Lost Sphere In . Cricket Match Fsand
in . Spectators Pocket.
Cricket balls have been lost in many
curious ways, such as by being struck
into a passing train, into crows and
other birds nests, down chimneys and
steeples, and it is likely that last Sat
urday added one more instance to this
class of singular events. says the Leeds
Eng) Mercury. Ingrow, on their own
ground, were playing Wilsden-tne
leaders ir the West Bradford league
and when J. Smith (prof) Of the latter
team was in. he struck a ball to
square-leg. The ball went to the
boundary, passing under a seat which
was filed by spectators. Seeing that
it was a boundary hit, the spectators
began to look for the ball. but they
could not find it. Then some OF the
cricketers Joined in the search, but the
ball could not be seen, though they
made a close scrutiny Of all the holes
in the wall-into which 1t was wittily.
suggested they should send a ferret.
Eventually the search was abandoned,
fresh ball was secured, and the match
continued. When it had been In pro-
gress for some time, some of the spec
tators who were seated near the place
where the ball was lost suggested that
they should all feel in their pockets
and see If it was in any of them. This
tEey did, and, singular to say, 1t was
found in the side pocket Of a gentle
man wearing jacket whose pockets
had frequently carried small birds that
he had shot with his gun. Evidently
the ball had run up the wall behind the
seat, and a small projecting stone had
then caused it to drop downward into
the gentleman's pocket. and he, being
seated, had never felt the extra weight.
as his pocket rested on the seat.

A pig is not a gentlemanly animal.
says Farming World. The term pig
headed has come to be looked upon as
expressing the very lowest form OF
stupidity and selfishness. Much as we
might wish to defend him, We have TO
admit that there appears to be rolled
into one carcass a greater amount OF

other domestic animal, the mule except

is rather bright, weighing fourteen
pounds to the bushel in the chan.
About two bushels is the quantity
usually sown per acre. Only half OF the
flowers set seed, as every other one Is
staminate. The seed is rather large,
starts early, and soon makes q vigor-
Gus growth. This fits 1t for alternate
husbandry and for dry countries.
In sowing the seed care needs to be
used to cut the grass just as soon as
the top of the panicle is ready. Not

The production Of heavy bssves b No
longer the profitable business It once
was. Combined weight and quality are
not necessarily money makers In these
days. For the past few years the ten
dency has been rapidly In favor Of early
maturity, with decidedly more atten-
ton given to quality than to weight.
The consumer has been ready to &C
cept the change. The superiority Of
early beef has been everywhere recog-
nized, and the heavy steer is passing
away. The combined efforts Of breed
er and feeder have produced the per-
fectly finished steer in less than three
years, and it would seem that the work
is not yet complete; that 1.-The days OF

decline Of the heavy beef is found In the
general cry for cheap meat"-cheap.
but good-and as the heavy animal has
a larger percentage Of offal than the
smaller and compactly built one, the
butcher has found it improbable to
handle that class. It is the percentage
of meat to live weight that decides the
issue. And so the 1,600-lb. steer is be-

Beautiful Swine-The swine exhib-
tied at our fairs have often been the
ruin of herds. The show hog, if at its
best as show animal, is a thing II
beauty. It has been created. fed and
grcomed for purpose. and the purpose
is to catch the eye and the first pre-
MUM. It has been forced until with all
its large and symmetrical dimensions
It is nothing but shadow. The farmer
and swine breeder knows that he should
have a hog that is strong Of bone and
muscle and he knows that many Of
these show hogs have not this posses
sion. But against his own judgment he
will often take boar from one Of the
show pens, and thus send his herd down
hill instead Of up. We do not mean to
say that all the swine that are exhibited
at our fairs are of the class described.
Some Of them have not been forced. Let
judgment rule in the selection Of the
boar.

N. T. Lipps, Jr., a well-to-do farmer
who lives near Danville, Ky. has issued
an address to the world, In which no
claims to be. inspired Of God. ana IN
which he predicts the dfrest disasters
for the 4th day Of August. He has
been daft. it is said, on matters Of re-
ligion for some time, and once or twice
has created scenes at church. He was
brought to this city one day not long
ago to be tried for lunacy, but talked
SO nationally and fntelligently upon
matters in general that no action was
taken. His manifesto is as follows:
Boyle County, Kentucky, July 20.
1S95.-In the name Of God I announce
to the world that am Moses, the
prophet Elias and Jesus Christ COM
bined in one man. Therefore I am
moved by the spirit of God to say to the
people that upon the 18th day Of August
next will be day Of great destruction
over the whole earth. The exact hour
upon which this will occur no one
knows but the heavenly father. The
earth viii burn with fervent heat. many
graves will deliver up their dead and
millions Of new graves will be filled.
oh, my dear people, turn your hearts to
God in deed and in truth. God is going
to retaliate for the head Of John the
Baptist, and the only begotten son OF
God, who died upon the cross (the cross
Of the wicked and the redemption OF
the righteous). Your humble servant
Is going to visit all nations and be able
to speak all tongues. and that noble
woman who poured the precious oint-
ment upon the Savior's head will bear
Gods true gospel all over the whole
world. There will be millions Of souls
converted under the sound Of his voice.

LITTLE BOY BLUE.
A Poem of Eugene Fields that Touched
the Universal Heart.


The little toy dog Is covered with dust
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket mouds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now don't you go till come" he said
"And don't you make any noise!"
So, toddlinR off to his trundle bed,
He dreamt Of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
oh, the years are many, the years are long
but the little toy friends are true,
Ay, faithful TO little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of "A little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there,
