Gas rule, the Vicksburg stage fol
lows closely the stage attained at Cairo
| and the New Orleans rise is generally
about one-fourth the Cairo rise. In
the present case northerly winds dur,
ing the last week Of February reduced
an expected 5-foot rise at New Orleans
by the close of February to bare f.
foot rise.
1.-The entire rise in the river has been
gradual, to which can be ascribed the
thus far moderate stages at Vicksburg
and below that point. Cairo has been
above the danger line since March l,
yet Vicksburg is over foot below
danger at date, and it is Anticipated
that even 45 loot stage at Vicksburg
can work no harm. There is, however,
considerable water coming ont of the
OHIO, the Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers that will tend to prolong the
nigh water at Cairo and must necessa.
rlly result in giving further consid
cradle rise at points below. If prece-
dence be considered it would be neces-
sary to increase the anticipated Vicks
burg stage to beyond As feet, since the
nigh waters of 1890, 1891 and 1892
gave Vicksburg stage equal to or
higher than that reached at Cairo; 1893
was an exception, though not marked,
since a 49.3 Cairo Stage gave a. )
'lcksburg stage in May of that year.
The rate of river travel from Cairo
to Vlcksburg is generally about seven
days, and from Cairo to New Orleans
about eleven days; but in case of flood
stages the highest Vjcksburg stage is
not attained until, at times, two weeks
after the crest Of the wave of water has
passed Cairo. High water continues in
me lower river long after marked falls
occur at Cairo, and even as far south
IS Memphis-due doubtless to the fact
nat the overhowed waters from basins
md low lands return to the river more
!owly, thus prolonging the high lower
liver stages. !
1T IS noteworthy fact, in connec
ION with the food stages of late years,
nat our highest waters have not as q
ct been the result of a general combi- d
alton OF high waters from east, north I
M west; but that the highest and =
lost prosracted flood wave of late Ii
ears-thst Of resulted from c
eneral and heavy rains in the lower t
ad eastern valleys. Just what effect n

ave on the lower river can not be de. u

Modern Instability.
The Interior,

The great mass of men have always
had their lives ruled by usages and ira
dition. Not for them did novelties
chase each others across the surface Of
society. The common folk left to the
upper ten thousand the wild scurry
after ruling fancy or foolery of the hour.
In their sports, their sweethearting,
their mating, their collaborating, their
money-getting, their notions of right
and duty, they ran on quietly in the
ruts deeply grooved out by generations
of men. But century or so ago it was
found that this habit of "back" look
opposed to needed reforms the british
ignorance, the Grass stupidity, and the
rhinocerous hide of bigotry of the unen.
lightened masses. Accordingly, the
idea of the humanitarian awakening
that accompanied the French Revolu-
ton was to lift the common folk.-the
third estate-from the slough of custom
to the plane of choice and self-direction.
And for hundred years the effort has
been made to explode superstition, to
diffuse knowledge. to spread light. and
to free man from the spell of the past
and turn his gaze forward.
The attempt has succeeded. The era
of obscurantism is forever past. With
school and book and press progress has
been taught till with us the most damn
ing phrase is Behind the timesw But
we now see that a good deal of the net
result has been to put one kind of imi-
tation in place of another. Instead of
aping their forefathers, people now ape
the many. The multitude has now the
prestige that once clothed the past. Ex-
cept where rural conservatism holds
sway. mob mind in the milder forms of
fad and craze begins to agitate the great
deeps of society Prot. Edtcard A.

STOCK.

When we grind grain for the pigs the
most we get out of it is hard work; when
hog eats meal wet or dry he does it
hastily, and if wet the moisture can not
take the place of saliva. When the
whole grain is fed it is we'll moistened
with saliva. so that there is no trouble
with digestion.
When meal is fed to the hogs, either
as slop or dry. it is impossible to prevent
waste; if meal is worked out Of the
trough or the slop spilled it is hardly
possible to gather it again. II whole
corn is fed the last grain is devoured.
The.food properties of corn are not
changed by grinding; it is still corn,
whether served as meal, mush or slop.
When feeding hogs, grind only for the
aged sows which have lost their teeth,
and it is doubtful if they will pay the
miller.
Improved breeds of stock is not so
much an end attained, sure against all
odde, as capability to be retained
pushed and developed by good and in
telligent treatment. The good can be
made better, or they can be reduced
back to the state of scrubs.
New England is coming out as stock
growing country, because they have fall
len in with improved breeds and find
their value. Many wealthy men have
taken up the breeding of pure stock
on business principles, and there is in
terest in the dairy and beef breeds OF
cattle, in coach and draft horses, and in
the sheep and swine classes; in fact,
Eastern farmers have got over their pre-
JUDGES and are taking the lead.
There is a positive scarcity of all kinds
of good stock, especially of the high
grades, for the best and most profitable
feeding, for the best home markets and
the export trade. Thus over-production
of grain or live stock corrects itself by
being improbable for time.
In the late summer it is much easier
TO keep the stock in good condition by
commencing to feed little in connec-
ton with the pasturage than to allow
them to run down and then be obliged
to feed up when they are on dry feed.
The thrifty condition should be main
tanned while the change is making.

of quality. Only after the quality of a
fruit becomes known can those of COM

THE TENNYSON MEMORIAL.

Friday, August 6, the birthday of the
poet, a simple but majestic memorial to
Tennyson was unveiled by Lady Tenny-
son and dedicated by the Dean of West
minister in the presence of many dis
tinguished persons. including the Arch
bishop of Canterbury.
The memorial stands on the summit
of the mobile down" upon which was
Tennyson's favorite daily walk after he
took up his residence at Farrintord,
Freshwater. Isle of Wight, in 1858. 1t
commands one of the noblest views,
whether toward England or up or down
the Solent and the English Channel
dotted with the sails of the commerce of
the world. Nearer at hand the most
beautiful landscape of the Isle of Wight
with its never-failing charm satisfies the
eye and the Imagination as one recalls
the description in In Memoriam:
Calm and deep peace on this high void,
And on these dews that drench the
furze;
And all the silvery gossamers
That twinkle into green and gold.
Calm and still light on you great plain.
That sweeps with all its autumn flowers
And crowded farms and lessening tow
ers
To mingle with the bounding main.
The movement for a memorial began
shortly after the poets death, but
whether from dissatisfaction with the
form of the proposed memorial-an un-
lighted Iona Cross of Cornish granite
or for other reasons, subscriptions came
in slowly. At last, however, the sum of
1000 was raised by the admirers and
lovers OF England's laureate in England
and in America, the amounts being in
small sums as ii was desired that as many

MISS CROPSEl'S FORTUNE.
BY ANGELINA W. WRAY.
From Harper's Bazar.]
H..

IISS CROPSEY was in Boston.
N The last farewells had been
spoken, the big gray cat given to a
neighbor, and the front door locked
and bolted for double security dur
ing her year of absence.
1t was rainy afternoon. The big
round drops rolled disconsolately
down the window panes of Mrs. For
rests sitting-room. Miss Cropsey
watched them idly. She knew just
how the rain must be pattering on
the kitchen roof Of the old red house
at home, and the solitary cedar-tree
in the front yard swaying in the
wind.
1t had been a month since she had
seen them-a month filled with new
and marvellous experiences; month
of growth and of dissatisfaction. She
glanced down at the book in her
hand, history of Greece, almost in
surprise.
Three months before she would
not have felt the slightest interest in
the life of "such heathen." That
rainy afternoon she found it fasci-
mating. Every scrap of knowledge
she had gained during those thirty
days added its separate enchant-
ment to the vivid story. There was
so much to learn. While regretting
the lost years, she realized the fresh
ness and "endlessness" of this world
of story and song.
Mrs. Forrest was entertaining a
caller in the library. Miss Cropsey
had wondered little at callers on
so rainy day, but dismissed her
surprise merrily. These Bostonians
care nothing for rain. Culture" was
oblivious of sleet and mud.
1t was almost dark when she closed
the book, slight feeling of loneli-
ness stealing over her. From the
study still came the low murmur of
conversation. She would go to her
own room and enjoy quiet cry, she
thought, smiling half whimsically.
In the hall she came face to face with
Mrs. Forrest and her caller
"My friend Mr.. Vivien, Miss Crop
sey. Sunshine We all call him."
Miss Cropsey looked up, and he
looked down, with twinkle in his
merry eyes. He was very tall, she
saw. His face was strong and true-a
face one would instinctivelY trust.
Viyien found himself admiring the
shy stranger, as she forgot embar-

In pastures there should be portion
OF the top left to fall down as a protec-
ton or mulch to the roots during the
winter. This is one good reason why a
little feeding should be done before the
grass is all gone.
Quality gives to the intelligent, pro.
gressive farmer who raises improved
stock premium on his high grade beef
mutton and pork as we'll as on his high
class horses, and places him above the
wild ranch stock breeders of South
America and Australia in European
markets.
When the wild lands of the West were
free, and ranches sprang up with their
thousands of cattle, horses and sheep,
reproduction was inevitable. For
65.OOO,0OO, of people we had 100000
cattle. as many sheep and swine, and
over 100000 horses.
City and town people prefer to pay
better prices for the better things they
consume. The remedy for depression
in agriculture is to produce high class
stock. dairy products and farm crops,
and proceeds from the orchard and
garden.
Cows which produce a hundred dol
lars year are not so hard to find
as they once were, and many diaries
average up to this; and we hardly need
say they are profitable diaries. Make
this minimum mark, and dispose of
any cows which do not come up to it.
A good COW is a machine for making
a profit for its owner; a poor one only
eats up the profit derived from the keep
ing of the good onee; but owners are
often too Indifferent to give this matter
thought.
II all home diaries made giltedge
butter and procured giltedge prices for
it, it would be we'll. but so long as many
do not do this it is the part of wisdom
in many localities, to tighten the work
by becoming creamery patrons.
1t is said that the milk of a million
cows is consumed in the cheese pro.
duction of the &C untry This product
is worth at least 100000 dollars. It
should be more. or the cows are not
paying. We will find that beets increase
the milk: and butter product, and will
cause all cows, even Jerseys, to lay on
fat rapidly. II the roots are discon-
tinued. butter fat and flesh will both
grow less.&@ This is statement from the
Iowa station.
A COW which is thin from liberal milk.
giving and one which is thin from want
of proper food are in decidedly different
conditions. 1t is useless for one to at
tempt to make success of dairying
unless he is first willing to take ad-
vantage Iof liberal feeding and mating.
No matter what kind are kept, the bet
ter they are provided for the better will
be the net return.
