POTTS WONDERLAND rHEArER.

Billy Clifford and Maud Huh are do- ing a cake walk at Polls Wonderland
 theater this week that it is claimed no colored couple in New Haven can equal. The artists are prepared to back them selves against any couple in a walk for cake, and anybody who has seen them walk will hardly hesitate to back them against any competitors. There is plenty of amusement in the other features of their act as we'll as in the cake walk, and the act is really about as funny as anything that has ever pre- ceded it on this stage The speciality show given in addition has many bril- liant features, a specially noteworthy
 one being the remarkable dancing of the pretty Gehnre sisters. Next week

Coffee in Mississippi.

The Ripley Sentinel shows that it is
also possible to raise coffee in Missis-
sippi:
"Our friend J. T.. Mattox, called a
few days ago and left with US several
grains of genuine coffee whiSh grew on
the farm of his brother, j. b. Mattox,
just over the Tippah line, near Canaan,
Benton county. The plant or bush was
discovered by Mr.. Mattox three years
ig); it is now about fifteen feet high.
and produced this year three pints of
nice, clear and well developed grams
of coffee. This bush occupies a place
ON the hillside and seems to be a nat
ural growth.-Southern Farm Gazette.
Without meaning anything ugly or
unkind, we don't believe word of
this. We have seen at various times in
the agricultural press. notices of coffee
grown in the United States, all of
which is not true. Coffee is tropical
plant and can only be grown below the
frost line.

Hay.

We are firmly convinced that the on
ly kind of hay worth the trouble Of
saving, is from specially domesticated
plants, and not from wild natural
growth from the meadows usually left
for this purpose, which grow up full of
noxious weeds such as sneeze weed,
cow itch vines, bushes ahd briars, form
ing q heterogeneous mass of useless
and dangerous stuff from which an an
imal must sort only little proper and
palatable food. Five. ten or any con-
venient number of acres Of land we'll
prepared in September or October. and
sown in vetch or crimson clover. either
separately or together, will give good
winter pasturage and about the first Of
May can be cut for hay, yielding an i'm
mense crop-the aftermath permitted
to make seed to veRetate in the fall.
The land could then be plowed in June
or July, peas planted broadcast and q
fine crop of bay cut in the fall, when
the clover and vetch would spring up.
aud thus on in rotation from year TO
year one could have plenty OF the finest
hay
