country is traversed, and at High
Bridge, over the Kentucky river,
splendid bit of scenery is found. The
river flows through deep, rocky
gorge, which reminds one somewhat
of the canons in the West. The
bridge is said to be 100 feet high, I
believe. Near there is Shakortown,
where a colony of Shakers have set
tied. No great distance from High
Bridge a. tunnel is gono through,
and this Is the first one of twenty
seven which you encounter before
arriving at Chattanooga. They are
punched pretty close together, too,
and it seems to be for some distance
an underground ra,.wHv with occa-
sional dashcs into daylight for fresh
air. There is considerable activity
along this road in the line of mining
and manufactures, both in kentucky
and Tennessee. -.
Inc beautiful wooded mountains
of Tennessee were welcome change
of landscape after 30 much dry and
treeless scenery, which we had seen
al! through the West.
About dark we reached Cbatta-
nooga, and, before midnight, were at
home again, in good health and
much dust and cinders, glad to have
gono and glad to get back to Geor-
gia. JAMES D. MASSEY.

Improve Your Cattle.

1t is probable that prices of beef
will be higher the coming winter,
and if so, there should bea profit in
cattle. 1t may be that refrigerator
beef will be an obstacle in the way J;
but the usurpation of the market by
such beef has been due to the infe-
rior cattle and the difficulty of get
ting a constant supply Of choice
beef in the east compared with that
sent ready dressed from the west.
When eastern farmers become pre-
pared to supply cat;le OF the best
quality they will possess local ad-
vantages that will give them control
OF the home markets ; but they must
first improve their eds..-Phila-

three hundred miles. The road
most Of the distance, is right upon
the banks. In places retaining walls
are necessary to protect the roadbed
from water. The broad river, float
ing steamboats,, lumber RATS end
ash;ng ovafts, and the fne high 1iuGs lis
and cliffs, make fine scenery. On
the East side, where the road lies,
the bluffs are close up to the river as
q rule, and in many places there is
barely room for the track. This is
the Wisconsin side, and opposite is
Iowa. AT Savannah tho road turns
eastward, through Illinois.> This
brings us back to the grain section
mentioned in a previous letter.
BACK IN THE WINDY CITY.
We reached Chicago before mid
night and we felt almost at home,
for it seemed next door to Atlanta.
A day was spent there, amid the
roar and rush of this great city, of
which mention was made in the first
of these letters. With the rumble
of elevated trains over the streets,
the rattle of cable and electric oars
on the surface under them, the rush
of pedestrians, cabs, wagons, bicycles
and the whirr of the rubb tired
horseless carriage, you are convinced
that you are Gin town." sure enough.
We left Chicago at night, having
gone there from CincinpAti on the
outward trip in day time. Sunrise
found us nearing the last named
town, and soon we had re-crossed
the Ohio back into Dixie Land. For
several miles after leaving Cincinnati,
Kentucky is hilly and not very
promising country but when the
blue grass region is reached, you
readily ooncede it's right to the fame
which it enjoys. The fertile, rolling
fields, green pastures and fine horses
are all that they are reputed to be.
About twenty-five miles South of
Lexington another stretch of hilly

light found us in Minnesota, near
the State line. The country was
flat, mostly prairie, with here and
there tracts of wooded land. The
large timber had beon cut away, and
the woods looked rather sorry and
ragged. Minnesota is also a great
wheat country. 1t is full of lakes,
and looks rs if it might bo full of
malaria also.
TWIN CITIES OF THE NORTHWEST.
About 4 O'Clock we reached Min
neapolis, whore we crossed the Mis-
sissippi river again. This is the
head of navigation. The falls of the
Mississippi look like a large factory
dam, and no doubt enough water
power can be had to supply all the
machinery that can be located near
them. We did not stop in Mime
apolis, but from tho train got a
glimpse of the famous Washburne-
Crosby Touring mills, tho largest in
the world, and which turn out fif-
teen thousand barrels of flour daily.
St. Paul, the capital of the State, is
about ten miles away, connected by
numerous steam and electric railway
lines. 1t is woll-built, progressive
looking city, also on tho banks of the
river. 1t has q fine city and county
building and many large business
structures. The union depot is such
a one as Atlanta needs. A new
State capitol and post Office, both
fine buildings, are in course of con.
struction. Summit avenue is Of
pretty a residence street as l have
over seen.
ALONG THE FATHER OF WATERS.

dynamite, but tho ingenuity of man
kind was not to be baflled by a small
matter like that. Large fires were
kindled upon the glass. When it
had reached great heat cold water
was dashed upon it, which 80 shat
tered the glass that it could be easily
removed. ...........
Back over the Park plateau's
sandy level, through the Golden
Gate, down the slope by the Nam.
moth Hot Springs and the Terraces,
and we were again at the hotel from
which we started five days before,
having beheld, during that interval,
as many wonders as could be seen
anywhere on earth within similar
period of time. Here we again had
the pleasure of meeting Capt. Brown
before leaving for Cinnabar to take
the train.
The Park is rather disappoint-
! ment at frst, but the wonders grow
so rapidly each mile, eliminating in
grandeur at the Grand Canon, that

ACROSS MoNTANA's PLAINS.
We left Livingstone about day
light and travelled most Of the day
through Montana. 1t is a treeless,
hilly country, splendid for grazing.
Cattle are plentiful, but the great
bulk of ranches were for horses and
sheep. The grass dries up in mid
summer, but remains good for graz
ing until Christmas. Some is cut in

BY JAMES, sHIsLo1s. SMITH " sTEoK.
The End Of the Write-up Of j. d.
Massey's Visit to Yellowstone Park
and Other Points lin the West,


is, without doubt, the most stupen-
dous painting in the world. TO the
right are the Great Falls of the Yel-
lowstone, (piotured last week),
which make sheer tumble of $50
feet. In height, volume and gran
deur of appearance these falls are of
the first magnitude. Spray dashes
high into the air, which, in winter,
forms thousands of. tons of ice. The
waters, in places, reflect the light il
a beautiful emerald hue, which is
ever changing. Right down at the
Waters edge a boiling spring spouts
and streams bravely, undaunted by
the overshadowing surroundings.
The eagles wild scream here is
heard, for upon the pinnacles of
these inaccessible orags he has erect
cd his eyrie, and, like the liberty
loving and mighty people who have
chosen him as the emblem of their
national existence, he bids defiance
to the world.
A COLD DAY IN AUGUST.
1t was August 22d when we Wis
tied the canon, and we enjoyed q
rare sight in the shape Of a terrific
snowstorm, which ragged most of the
Gay, and which rendered the sur
roundings more impressive if posi-
BILE.
The Grand Canon of the Yellow
stone is worth travelling around the
globe to see. Mount Blanc is doubt
less grand and beautiful sight;
the majestic sweep and mighty roar
of Niagara cannot be described, but
in this one grand display it seems
as if nature had concentrated her
mightiest efforts and reached the
acme of sublimity. Beholding it,
the spectator is dumb with amaze
mcnt. This is well, for the most
eloquent words ever spoken by hui
man tongue would (amid those sur
roundings) sound puerile. This is
truly the sanctum sanctorium of ma
ture. Here is her handiwork, undo
filed by the hand of man, and in the
presence of which he realizes fully
his own ,lsignificance.
From the Canon Hotel half days
ride brings us back to the Norris
|(Geyser Basin and to Larry's lunch
stand. 1t is a pleasant ride through
thick forests, by mountain streams,
under rugged cliffs and by pretty
cascades. Or the latter, the pretti-
est are Virginia Cascades, near the
highest point reached by the road
way, something over 5000 feet above
the sea.
From Larry's we return by the
same road over which we came. AL
though the outward journey hau
been made so recently, we found it
again very interesting. Two sights
of interest were not mentioned in
previous letters, namely: Beaver
Lake and dams, and the Obsidian
cliffs. The lake is a sort of morass,
grown up in high, rough grass, and
appears to have been largely cre-
ated by beavers. Their dams arc
constructed of brush, mud and turf,
and hold water well. 1t is really
surprising to see what large pines
they had cut and dragged to these
dams.

Wheat for Seed.

Wheat is easily cleaned, but when
it is desired for seed toe much care
can not be given it in examining for
the seeds of weeds. All imperfect
grains should also be removed. An
agreeable experiment can be made
by any farmer who will solect 100
plump seeds and plant them in a
row, placing the seeds foot apart
each, then cultivating the row. II
the product is measured next wear
and compared with the ordinary
yield from seed that is drilled in as
for field culture, the comparison will
cause a surprise, as the yield from
the cultivated row will be four times
that from the same area selected in
the regular crop. The experiment.
will take but little time and will cost
but triflc.
