10 the majority of farmers the grass
the most valuable crop raised, but
Pne which generally receives very lit
le attention..
This being a most unfavorable sea-
bon for grass, greater care must be
aiken to secure 1t at its best.
Az rule, this crop should be cut
eariy. Mi. Martin j. Sutton, a recOg-
iized English authority, says; 81 was
lutte unprepared to find. as expert
nents prove, that hay can be made
With Advantage when the grass is only
even inches high, and that even at
Ihe towering stage meadow hay has
passed its best"
Grass Should be cut when the plants
cunltain the most nutriment, which
may be determined by observing the
mount OF milk received from the dali
y When tho grass is at Its best the
low Of milk will be greatest; as the
mount diminishes the grass Is of less
iaiue- When the grass is cut early the
leld viii often produce a crop of after
nath. which, when not injured by frost
8 chemically proved by Dr. ]. A..
foelcker TO be equal in value to an
-hrly first cut. Late cutting greatly in
ures the roots OF clover plants. Three
ate hsryests generally destroy all the
lants. Late cut meadows almost all
lays suffer from drouth, grasshoppers,
the Frost of winter, and quite fre-
zuently from all three.
IL the hay Is the most important II
hould be harvested at its best regard
tas of other crops. The pecuniary loss
rom lack of attention of other
tops is much more noticeable but b.
omes insigaificant in comparison when
Everything Is taken into consideration.
Grass Should be dry at the time OF
IutttDg. That method Is best for cur
ig, In which the hay when dry Is ham
led the least. Since water greatly in
nures both the color and nutrltlve
alue, hnyCaps should be used and
ne utmost care taken to protect the
gay. when dry, from the rain.-B. +.

Our Apple Crop.

The present year is notable for enormous apple crop. The Unit ed States has produced an aggre- gate of 5000, 900 barrels, which total is larger by something over 5000, 900 than the estimated numb CT of barrels for the year 1889, when the eensns authorities mad de an exhaustive attempt to form cor rect idea of the yearly production.
 But while this gain is satisiacto. ", and while the American apple is obtaining new favor yearly abroad, it is to be noticed that an other apple producing section of the world is pressing us hard for the trade. Canada this year is making special efforts to hold the London market, which is practi- cal that for all England, Ireland ard Scotland, and from the quota tions for the exported fruit which have so far been published on this side ot the water the people across our northern boundaries have al ready pre-empted the most favora- ble opportunities of sale.-Toledc RQde.

MT. John Thomas Ragland.

WHEREAS, Ithas pleased God to take from our midst Brother J. T. Rag land at the mournful call of death, Oct. II, 1895:
 Therefore, Res0tved, That we, the Teachers and pupils of Green Hill Sunday School, can sincerely join in sympathy with the bereaved rel atives in all their sorrow and re- grets tor the loss of this dear Brother. Green Hill Sunday School has lost not only worthy, but valuable member and teacher, one who in humble pity trusted and served his God; who as a christian, was consistent and as citizen an unostentatious and up- right man.
 ResolUed, further, That nj the death of this plain and gentle christian man our Sunday School, church and community has sustained q great loss. But we know that his spirit smiles from that bright shore, and therefore softly weops no more.
 Res0lued, That we, tender our coincidence to the bereaved rela- tives, believing that our loss is his eternal gain.
 Dear friends has not God said judge a tree by the fruit it bears, then judging him by his fruit he is now praising God in those courts above where all is joy and love.
 Then let us to our sorrow change
 Into song of praise,
 Unto the one who reigns above,
 And our Brother Tom hath raised.
 The angels play on harps of gold,
 To praise God so we are told,
 And we praise him here below,
 If we only will it's so.
 There is no death, the stars go down
 To rise upon some faircr shore,
 And bright in heavens jeweed crown,
 They shine forever more.
 There is no death! an angel form
 Walks OCT the earth with silent tread, He bears our dear ones away.
 And then We call them dead. GREEN HILL, TEACHERS AND PUrILs

Marvellous Reasoning

Some of the Eastern Republi- can papers are now trying to de- monstrate that the Western Repub lican Senators who helped the De- mocrats to beat the force bill are entitled to the credit for "break- ing the solid South"
 With the force bill no longer sn
 issue, the political wiseacrcs now discussing the question have come to the conclusion that the only thing which has bound the South to the Democratic party has been cut.
 What q wonderful argument It can be reduced to something likc this: The force bill was an outrage of Republican origin; 30 Democrat ic Senators and half dozen Re- publican Senators fought and de- feated il; therefore the South wlll go Republican to show its appreci ation of the party which brought tbe question up for consideration.
 Whatever may have been charg cd heretofore against the South, no one has ever accused itof being obtuse. To charge it with stupid ity and ingratitude at one broad- side is a form of eIectioneering which will hardly appeal to it's serious moments. If tic South ever gets ready to go Republican il will not be because of what that party has done for it on the force bill issue. -ReputIc.

Death of Prof. James W. Barrow.

Many of the old residents of South Arkansas will regret to learn of the death of Prof. James W. Barrow, who died at his home in Hunt county, Texas on November 10. Prot. Barrow came to Arkan- sas in 1850, and was one of the leading educators of the state at that early time. In 1860 he secur. ed charter, by special act of the Legislature, for college, and founded the Phi Cappa Sigma Col lege, Ut Monticello, in this state. This college was burned by the Federals near the close of the war, and Prof. Barrow soon after nov ed to Texas and formed law partnership with Col, Rick ct, who was afterwards president of the convention which afterwards adopted the present constitution of Texas.
 He died at his home, surround ed by his children and friends. af ter having lived a long life of use- fulness. His yoanger brother, Hon. J. c. Barrow, of this city, had but recently returned from a visit to him, and left him in ap- parently good health.
 The above information from the Arkansas Ga<ette of the 12th inst. will be read with regret by many people in this section of the State, and more especially by many Of our older citizens who were pupils of this distinguished educator.

Crecu Rive and Wheat Fodder.

Rye grown on rich soil will be fit to
feed by the first Of May, II wheat
bv the middle of the coming month.
Cut the rye when free from rain or
dew. and commence by feeding a small
forkful. say five pounds, at a g
gradually increasing the amount untll
twice this quantity is fed. A portion
of the dry feed should be omitted.
Cows are very fond Of rye, and if
given in too large quantities it is GER
tain to produce bloat. For a slight
attack of bloat. or hoven. give at once
half a pound of table mustard and an
ounce of the chloride of lime, mixed in
as little cold water as will float the
mustard out of the bottle. Another
good remedy is an ounce of fresh pow
dered carbonate Of ammonia, i'll cold
water. Keep the sides and stomach
of COW wet with cold water.
Rye. after it is out of bloom, should
not be fed; especially should this be
avoided when the cream is made into
butter. Rye should not be thrown
upon a heap and allowed to heat, as
heated rye will make the cows sick. II
the rye is wet from rain feed but half
the quantity. The same rules of feed
ing will apply to wheat. Wheat hav-
ing more leaf. Il less quantity will be
required.
In turning nj stock to pasture, let
1t be done gradually; two hours the
first day. three hours the second, and so
on until the cattle are accustomed to the
change of feed. Give a little salt each
day. BY following these simple rules
many a valuable animal may be saved.

Points on Tillage.


Prof. Bailey told the New York Hort.
cultural Society that tillage is cheaper
tnan manures. With proper tillage We
can draw upon the immense reserves
OF plant food in the soil. The manual
labor required for such tillage is cheap
err than borrowing money for fertile
ers, While we still have in the soil a
balance of fertility which is not drawn
ing interest. Tillage makes plant food
available for crops, breaks up the cap
illarity Of the surface and interposes
between the moist under soil and the
air rs complete a mulch as a wooden
blanket is to a cake Of ice. Tillage OF
itself is the first fundamental essential
Of agriculture, and the best farmer Is
the n who does the most OF II. A
spirited discussion followed, In whicn
a number Of cases were cited OF or
chards bearing large crops OF apples
when uncultivated, to which Prol.
Bailey replies that next to tillage anu
manures, %pasturing with sheep anu
hogs was undoubtedly the best. II an
orchard is doing well without tillase
let it alone; If not, plow it up.

Peaches Between Apple Treos

AS apple trees are usually manar0d

when set, and if the planter does M,
have an active Imagination forty foo,
distance between the trees each way
will cen altogether too large a spsca
to be given up for the trees. On the
other hand, the peach tree lives only
few years, growS rapidly, and comes
into bearing very young. An orchard
OF peach trees may live, bear and be
out Of the way before the spreading
apple tree branches will find them in
the way. For this reason We believe
the practice of planting peach trees
between apple trees to be altogether a
good one, provided some conditions are
observed. The soil must be rich enough
in mineral fertility to furnish needed
potash for both growths. The failures
in planting peach trees between rows
OF apple trees come mainly from not
observing this condition. The peach
crop Will pay the expense Of Doth or.
chards. and in the shelter Of the apple
trees the peach trees will be less likely
to be winter killed or to have their
fruit wasted by winds before it is RI
pened. AS a further advantage. the
