Meadows and Pastures.

The Agricultural Department has issued
a farmers bulletin, prepared under the
direction of Agrostologist F. Lamson
! Scribncr, on the formation and cultivation
/ of meadows and pastures in the middle
| eastern states.
1t says that the annual production of
forage and fodder crops in the seven mid
! die eastern states--Pennsylvania New
jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia and North Carolina
amounts to upwards of 10000, 900 tons,
valued at fully $4,000 900. At least two
thirds of this amount is supplied by the
grasses, clovcrs, cowpeas, corn slower and
ensilage produced upon the farm, so that
the subject of improved methods CT culti
walton and the selection of the varieties
best adapted to the soils of this region is
of the greatest Importance to the farmer.
The commercial Importance of grasses
and clovers in relation to the profitable
production of farm animals, the bulletin
says is very great. The figures of the
division of statistics show that in the seven
middle eastern states there were, on jan
uary list, 1897, in round numbers, 1873 900
horses of all ages, valued at about ST. 5S4,
900; 217,000 mules, valued at $11 ABB 900;
2,02S 900 mich cows, worth 81. 1884 900;
1, 1135 900 oNcl and other cattle, worth $29,-
904 900; 2,147 900 sheep, worth $4,000, 900,
and $50 900 swine, worth $50 ,041 900; the
seven states amounting to II $4,000 head
of all classes, valued at $11l ,27S 500. These
II So, 900 head of farm stock require for
their maintenance upward of 20,400,000
tons per annum of all classes of forage
and feeding stuffs, worth more than $3.50,
100000. The seven states named are not
great stock growing states. They rank
in the aggregate of the combined values
of live stock barely 90 per cent. above that
of Iowa alone.
Such being the demands of our live
stock, how are tie necessary supplies to
be produced at the greatest profit and least
cost. The problem of how to cultivate the
required grass, clover, and other forage
becomes thus an important one, of prime
interest to all farmers who have live stock
to feed or a market for their produce.

A Soldier Lies Across the Track Until His
Regiment Crosses the Street.
Samuel Morris of Baltimore, first ser.
geant in Company E of the Fourth regi-
uent, will receive a medal from the Of
hcers of the regiment for stopping n car
BY lying ON the track while the regi-
ment passed on inauguration day in
Washington.
The boys were marching down Sew
enth street, when their progress was i'll
terrupted by the approach of a cable
car. Morris stepped from the line and
politely asked the gripman to stop the
car so that the regiment could pass
along. This the gripman refused to do,
and he had no o Il started the cal
than the soldier lay down across the
track and dared him to go on. The ca
moved forward, the fender touched the
body of the man and pushed him along
Il little, but he did not arise, and, III or
der to avoid 4 murder, the gripmar
brought the car to a ~standstlll. The
regiment crossed the street, and as thu
last man crossed the tracks the soldier
arose and thanked the gripman Will
mock courtesy and went Off On a double
quick, while the hundreds of spectator
Cheered him enthusiastically.
