Cut the Grass EARLY and often.

I have heard men who should have
known better, say that 1t is best to
let newly sown lawns grow without
cutting, and let the grass run to seed,
the notion being that the seed win
help thicken the sward. But try this
and you will find that you have a
brown hay stubble when the ripe
grass is cut, and the formation OF
seed has weakened the grass so that
more harm than good is done by the
seeding. Start the mower on the
newly sown lawn as oon as the grass
Is tall enough for 1t to catch. and
then, while rain is abundant, run the
mower every week.
In making a new lawn where tho
soil is sandy on the surface, get the
plow down to clay If practicable, fol-.
clay is essential to grass In the South,
and If deep sand, then haul clay on
it, and grow peas for a time to get
organic decay in the soil before seed
ing to grass.
A fine green sward is we'll worth
working for, and when you have got
ten a fine sod around your house use
trees and shrubbery for the framing.
and do not frame it with a fence and
then make a pasture Of it.-W. F.
Massey.

who has just entered his ffty-seventh
year, has been obliged to change his
mode of signature five times. When
he was born in 1852 his grandfather,
the third marquis, and his uncle, SUBJ

still alive. His uncle was Lord Cas-

Hay For So a Tor.

With beef cattle on the farm the
millions of tons Of corn stalks that
rot in our fields, and that represent
from .%thirty-fve to forty per cent. Of
the feeding value of the corn crop
would be converted into beef and
manure. The thousands Of tons of
oats and wheat straw, theslargeq lan-,
titles Of slightly damaged hay the!
many tons of sorghum, peavine and
soy bean. hay too coarse for the mar
ket, would all be eaten by the cattle
and help to enrich the farm and the
farmer.
The question of producing feed to
grow beef cattle is not a serious one
in the South, as I will endes-5i to:
prove. Last fall we planted one field
in oats; the oats were cut for hay In
the dough state; the land was then
planted in sorghum; the sorghum
yielded two cuttings; the total yield
of hay per acre from this field was
six and a fourth tons. Including So
per acre rent for the land, the hay
cost $3.50 per ton in the rick. An
adjoining field was planted in wheat
to be cut for hay; the wheat was fol-
lowed with cowpeas, the total yield
of hay per acre was 1856 tons; incllld-
ing So per acre rent, the hay cost So
per ton in the rick.-Professor e. R

Baseball in Iowa.

In the third and fourth our swat:
tiers leaped upon MT. Johnsing and
rent him, after which they sub-let
him. BY the time the dead had been
removed from the field the enemy
had yielded up four runs, due largely
to Mr.. Johnsing's mistaking tie M;
and O.. roundhouse for the plate. But.
he was not the only one whose brain.
was ninety per cent. added. The
nimble Mr.. Rogers, who played all,
day like a sunstruck goat, and the.
agile Mr. Brink, who cavorted aroundi
in centre field like an ossified octoge-
marian, gave Mr.. Johnsing the daz-
cling support of a Ferris waist on a
fat lady. At the end of the fourth

PeIlagr;a.

Very much has been writtenton this
subject during the last few months,
since the fact that a number of cases
have been reported in the Southern
States.
Pellagra Is an old disease, and ocs
ours extensively in the northernsparts
of Italy, where it has been calledyAi-
pine scurvy, or Italian leprosy. The
trouble begins with indefinite diges-i
tive disturbances with insomnia, but
as 1t progresses there appears an
eruption Of the skin, followed by SUI
peration and the formation OF dark
crusts. The mental depression is;
profound. It is claimed to be caused
from eating bread made OF moldy or.
smutty corn. Reports are made that
this disease has been known In the
South for the past thirty Year,, but
the physicians have diagnosed the,
disease under various names. With
the numerous reports sent out by the;
press Of the gravity Of this dreaded
disease, a complaint followed from
the operators of grist mills sof the
falling off of their trade for corr
meal. While it is a much dreaded
disease, there are no reasons for be-
coming unduly alarmed, for il users
Of corn meal exercise care in purchas-
ing meal from reliable mills there is
no danger whatever OF contracting
this disease.-Southern Fruit Grove,

Same. But Different.

Most lawyers take a keen delight
trying to confuse medical experts in
the witness box in murder trials, and
often they get paid back in their own
coin. A case is recalled where the
lawyer, after exercising all his tang
ling tactics without effect, looked
quizzically at the doctor who was tes-
tifying and said:
"You will admit that doctors some
times make mistakes, won't yon?n
"Oh, yes; the same as lawyers
was the cool reply.
"And doctors mistakes are buried
six feet under ground" was the law
yer's triumphant reply.
Yes" he replied, land the law
yers' mistakes often swing in the air"

Cause Of Gapes in ohieks.

Gapes in little chickens are caused
by the eating of earth-worms. There
are parasites in the earth-worms
which find their way into the wind
pipe of the chickens and lodge there,
where they take the form of little red
worms. The best preventive is to
keep the chickens from the surface
of the ground; or s salt or strong
salt water on the soil, so as to kill the
earth-worms; or strew strong lime
or something of the kind on the
ground. so that the chicks will not
get hold of the worms to eat them.
After the chicks have been attacked
with gapes, however, you can dis
lodge the worms by making a very
small loop in a twisted horsehair,
draw out the tongue of the chick
slightly, insert the horsehair loop in
the windpipe opening, which will be
seen between the forks at the base Of
the tongue, and, twisting the hair
around, withdraw it. The worms are
likely to be found within the loop, or
some of them will have been thus re-
moved, and the operation can be re-
peated.
Another remedy is to dip the Zip of
a soft feather into kerosene and in
sert 1t in the windpipe opening to dis
lodge and kill the worms. Such
treatment, although severe, is bet
ter than letting the worms remain un-
disturbed, to severely annoy the Fowls
and even kill them.
Mixing turpentine OF other sub
stances in the food of the young poul-
try has not proven satisfactory as a
remedy for gapes.-H. A. S.

of Africa grows to phenomenal height

enough to stray from the beaten
track. It is the custom there to burn
this grass of each year when it gets
dry. This is usually in August and
September, or even il October. Fires
burn for miles, and as the country is
largely a wilderness little damage is
done by this method of destroying the
grass. It is a beautiful sight at night

Spanish BARRACKS.

The lot OF the Spanish soldier, even
in .iimes Of peace, is far from envia-
BILE, for his food, lodging and clothing
are OF the poorest. AS regards bar
racks, the Spanish army is certainly
the worst equipped in Europe, and
this fact was practically admitted by
Sen,,r Sagasta when he was Premier.
"A deputation waited on him to pro-
test against the unfair manner in
which the law as to obligatory army
service was enforced, so that any one
with s50,sto spare can; evade the duty.
The premier admitted that the princi-
pie OF redemption from military SER
vice was Illegal, and that, strictly
speaking, all healthy male adults
should serve, but, he added. athe
majority Of cur barracks are in such
bad condition that we cannot expect
fhe sons of respectable parents to live
On them."-London Chronicle.

German Students.

The number of students at the
German universities continues to in
crease. There were 51,700 matricu-
lated students this year, compared
with 1879 last summer. OF these
s25,638 attended the Prussian univer-
stiles. The chief increase took place
in philology, medicine, natural science
and especially in dentistry. There
were 1857 law students, 9642 in
medicine, 1891 in %philology and
history and 1885 in mathematics and
natural science. Berlin, as usual,
heads the list with 1894. There were

The Worlds Shoemaker,

The first worlds shoe and leather
fair opened in Boston is an industrial
exhibition of great interest. America
is fast becoming the worlds shoe
maker. It's shoe factories employ
149,924 operatives, who receive
wages of s69,00O,o0O annually, and
whose product is valued at above
$320,000,000. The concentration of
the industry in Massachusetts, is
shown in the employment of upward
of 10000 operatives in this manufac-
ture, Of whom one-third are women.
Nearly fifteen per cent. Of the entire
population of Lynn is engaged in
shoemaking. The output of American
boots and shoes has nearly doubled in
twenty-five years and the industry
has gained new markets in England
and on the Continent.-New York

EARS ON THEIR E g
That is Where an Ants Grow and BE
has Six Of Them.

Strange as it may seem an ant has
at least six ears. Aside from their
multiplicity they are located in just
about the queerest place imaginable
on the egs They seem deaf to all
sounds made by the vibration of the
air, but detect the slightest possible
vibrations of.solid material.
This IS supposed to be to their adj
vantage, in that such things as ap-
preaching footsteps tell more Of the
possibility of danger than such
sounds as are transmitted through
the air.
So sensitive are their feet, says st.
Nicholas, that they detect the impact
of a small birdshot dropped on the
table from a height of about six
inches and about fourteen distant
from an artificial nest placed at the
other end Of the table.
AS curious as are their ears, their
noses are even more extraordinary.
AS the ants spend most of their time
in the dark, they must depend largely
on scent for their guidance, and in
consequence have quite an elaborate
array of moses, ef ch for a special pur-
pose.
Miss Adele Fielde believes that
their antennae are composed of a
number Of ose strung along in a
line. Still more strange is that fact
that each of these noses can smell
only a special thing.
The nose on the tip or first joint Of
the antennae, it is said, is for recog-
nizing the odor of home; the one on
the second joint is to recognize rela-
tives. The third nose is the path
finder, and without it the poor ant
cannot follow a trail and soon gets
hopelessly lost. The noses on the
fourth and fifth joints are for recog-
nizing the eggs and immature ants in
the nest.
No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who cannot tolerate the presence
Of dirt on her body. These little
creatures actually use a number Of
real toilet articles in keeping them
selves clean. No less an authority
than DR.. McCook says their toilet ar
ticles consist of coarse and fine
toothed combs, hair brushes, sponges
and even washes and soap. Their
saliva is their liquid soap, and their
soft tongues are their sponges.
Their combs, like their ears are
fastened to their legs. They stop for
a hastyi cleaning when they get Lirty.
But a more leisurely toilet is made
when they feel in a loafng mood, and
they then lend a helping hand to n
another in the process.

g Years Ago. xrsa -

"a baby carriage which is believed
TO Be the oldest in the country Is in
the possession of a Bay State man.
Known to be more than one hundred
years old and the property Of one
family for more than half a century,
this ancient perambulator belongs at
present to S. 3. Burlington, of Leyden,
Mass.
This great-grandfather Of all the
baby vehicles and perambulators in
the country is in itselfEno eperambula-
tor at all. It is a true 1baby car
riage.n Not only in shape but in con-
~struction it resembles Oliver Wendell
Holmes eone Hoss Shay It is, in
fact, built In every smallest detail
after the model OF the old two
wheeled chaises such as were used
by the elite Of a century ago.
According to Mr.. Burlington, the
small sons and daughters Of whose
family have for the last fifty years
been hauled about In the old carriage,
no one knows the exact history of the
carriage. The address OF its first
owner has been lost in the mists Of
antiquity. The only Identification is
the name. Of its maker, >4Charles
Field and the date Ss1So5." 1t is
supposed to have come originally
from some Southern plantation in
Virginia and to have been brought
North. onlya few years previous to
the outbreak Of the Civil War.
Mr.. Burlington, then a young man
In his SEVENTIES, got possession Of it in
1858. Soon afterward he went West.
.iourneying across country to Illinois.
where he settled in Cass County. The
carriage. then regarded as an heir
loom, vas taken along.
When Mr.. Burlington with his fam
lily returned East in-1 he brought
the carriage back with him to Leyden,
where he settled with his family and
where he has lived since.
