RASSBB are, of all
vegetable growths,
SMtftless of the
most importance to
man. They teem to
be almost univers
ally diffused over
the globe, being
nonexistent only at
the poles. The fact
that the cereals are
al! members of the
grass family will make it more easy for
our readers to comprehend the great
service to mankind rendered by the
grass family. In their variety they
supply the varied forces accessary to
build up the animal body, namely the
bones, muscles and fat
The number of individual species in
the family is jTrobably not yet accu
rately ascertained. As early as 1825
scientists' had agreed that there were
at least' 812 species. Other and more
recent writers give the number as in
excess of 1,800. Speculators, judging
the grasses growing in the unexplored
regions of the earth by those in sections
of the earth already known, judge the
number to be not les&lhan 3,200.
There Is great difference in the ap
pearance of grasses. Some . would
never be recognized as grasses at all.
An example is bur Indian corn, one of
the most valuable of all grasses. Also
there is great difference between the
grasses in different zones. The tropi
cal grasses sometimes grow to such
height that they assume the.-lippear-ance
of trees. Some of them, of the
species Bambnsa, attaina height of
sixty feet yThe leaveaof grasses in

REED CRASS (PHRACMITES VULGARIS.)

Stems tall and stout, 5 to 10 or more
feet high and sometimes almost an inch
in diameter, from very coarse fibrous
roots, and large, scaly creeping stems,
which are at or near the surface of the
ground; leaves broad, (one to two
inches) and flat, smooth; panicle very
large, loose, more or less nodding, about
one foot long, reddish, becoming woolly
at maturity. This grass is widely dis
tributed and grows in shallow water in
ponds and sloughs and along the mar
gins of lakes and larger streams. Stock
seldom cat it except when it is young
or when the better grasses are scarce.
the tropics are broader than those of
grasses native to the temperate zones.
Sorghum is an example of the tropical
grass, and bamboo, one of the giant
grasses.
Among our grasses may be named In
dian corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice,
broom-corn, sugar-cane, millet, and a
long list of cultivated grasses, like tim
othy and red top. The list is simply
too long to be enumerated in its en
tirety. We need not call the attention
of the reader to the immense commer
cial value of the grasses. What is the
immense ccrn crop of this year worth
to agriculture? How much all the pas
turage and hay in the United States
lone?
Decrease in Wheat. Cultivation.
Pester Lloyd says: The most strik
ing disclosure in the recent Hungarian
minister's report of the wheat and rye
crop ot 1S95 is the diminution of the
wheat area in the undermentioned
countries, which is shown as follows:
Great Britain since 1890..2S.2S per cent
France since 1S91 5.10 per cent
Germany since 1893 0.55 per cent
Hungary since 1834 3.01 per cent
Austria since 1S90 12.S4 per cent
Italy since 1894 0.17 per cent
Russia since 1894 7.00 per cent
United States since 1891..1S.0S per cent
Australasia since 1891 S.GS per cent
Since last year the area under wheat
las decreased about 625.000 acres.
Keeping Sweet Pntntoi.
W. P. Massey, horticulturist, North
Carolina Experiment Station, says: The
following method I have found to keep
sweet potatoes in perfect order until
June. Procure a good supply of pine
straw from the woods in a dry time and
keep it under cover ready for use. Dig
the potatoes as soon as frost cuts the
Tines. If not convenient to dig at ouce.
cut the frosted vines off at once or
they will harbor fungus growth that
will damage the potatoes. Dig on a
warm, sunny day lay the potatoes
along the row as dug, and do not allow
them to be bruised bv throwintr'into
piles. Handle at all times as gently as
eggs. Allow them to lie in the sun dur
ing the day. and in the evenine haul to
a convenient place. Place a good layer,
a foot thick, of pine or other straw on
the ground, and on this nile tho nctn-
toes in steep heaps, not over 25 bushels
m a pile. Cover the piles thickly all
over with the dry pine straw now
build a rough board shed over the piles
nd let them remain until the weather
gets colder, or until they have gone
through a sweat and dried off. Then
cover the heaps with earth six or eight
inches thick and beat smooth. The

At BatesTille, Ark., a recent shootiag
affray brought to notice- a woman
known as Sorrel Sue. She had always
appeared In public riding a sorrel
horse. It is believed she belonged to
a gang who stole horses.
A surgeon who was summoned to at
tend.one of her admirers, who had been
wounded in the row, mistook his way
and wandered into Sue's cabin. Be
fore he could be hustled out he saw
thing3 which aroused his suspicions.
These he reported to Sheriff Tirncoe,
who, with a posse, managed to sur
round the den of horse thieves, captur
ing Sue and two of her gang. He
found that Sue had applied the means
of bleaching her own hair to that of
her horses. When the posse entered
they found a horse enveloped in a jack
et made of rubber coats, being treated
to a sulphur vapor bath. The appli
ances were very ingenious and worked
very well.
A black or bay horse would be stolen
and run into the bleachery. After its
color was changed and its mane and
tail trimmed the disguise became so
pronounced that without any risk the
animal could be taken in daylight
through the very district from which
it had been stolen. It was Sue's busi
ness not only to superintend the
bleaching, but also to ride the animal
out of the country. Ex.
A Goose Can Count Seashore gun
ners hold that the wild goose can count
two, but not three. Accordingly it is
customary in preparing to shoot wild
geese from a blind or some detached
ribbon of marsh for three men to row
over to the station together and for
two of them to return to the main
land. The geese, being unable to count
above two, believe when they see the
two men returning that no enemy has
It is sometimes cut for early hay. In
sandy soil along the Missouri river the
creeping stems often grow to a great
length. Each joint of the stem strikes
root and gives rise to an uprisht stem
bearing leaves and flowers. The large
panicles arc often used for decorative
purposes. An air-dried specimen an

that if two men go out and only cne
returns the geese will carefully avoid
the region of the blind. Ex.
Fowls and Their Digestion Fowls
swallow their food, broken or not, and
it enters the crop or first stomach and
remains in it until it has become soft
ened more or less, when, a small quan
tity at a time, just as grain runs into
a grist mill, it is forced into the giz
zard amonj: the grit. The gizzard is a
strong, muscular stomach, and it is at
work night and day when there is a
grist to grind, similar to bellows, con
tracting and expanding and thus forc

in a suitable condition to be quickly di

Argentine Stock Export Chicago
Journal: Last year the value of live
cattle and sheep exported from the Ar
gentine republic amounted to over $5,
000,000, and this year it is expected to
be 50 per cent more. As the country
possesses about 30.000,000 cattle and
90,000,000 sheep, with only 5,000,000 in
habltantsjts export resources are enor
mous. It Is said that bullocks giving
700 pounds per carcass can be delivered
in London at 12 a head with profit
The great advance in export capacity
is due entirely to lucerne, which is thus
becoming a source of vast wealth to the
country, in which it flourishes raarvel
ously. Fixe cuttings per annum, with
out manure or irrigation, yielding
twelve tons of hay per acre, must pay
vastly better than wheat, and great as
the sensation caused by the expansion
of Argentine wheat-growing has been,
that of meat production will probably
be greater.
Deep Plowing On the principle of
radiation, deep plowing has decided ad
vantages over shallow, In protecting
the crops against frost as well as
drought; for the more compact a sub
stance is, the greater the powers of ra
diation, consequently it sooner parts
with Its heat and is reduced to the tem
perature of the atmosphere, which is
frequently below the freezing point,
when the loose mellow soil is far above
it. On rolling lands much injury is
done by surface washing, and this, too,
can be largely prevented by deep plow
ing, which makes it possible for the
soil to take up and retain more of the
moisture. Tul!..

Exchange of saccessf al aad pre! table
mushroom growing by Mr. Jehu Scott,
a florist of Brooklya, N. T
Mr. Scott grows kls mushrooms on the
benches, under the beaches, aad ia a
cellar, having la all aboat 2,4M square
feet set apart for the paTpeee. One bed
ef a width of eight feet to wider the
center bench of ai erdiaary three
quarter span greenhotwe, eighty-seven
feet long and twenty feet wide. Here
the bed is formed on the ground; board
ing extends from the edge of the bench
on each side right down to the floor.
No heating pipes are nearer this bed
than those which run under the side
benches of the greenhouse. The bot
tom of this center bench, which Is
made of boards, is covered by a coating
of cement this prevents the possibil
ity of drip on the mushroom bed.
Plants are raised on this bench which
the temperature of the house will suit,
It being kept from 55 degrees to 60 de
grees, which Mr. Scott considers most
suitable for growing mushrooms.
In an even span greenhouse, sixty
feet long, is a bed under a side bench
four feet wide, and under a side bench
of another even-span house, ninety
two feet long, is another bed, the heat
ing pipes In both cases being boarded
off. The hot water system of heating
is used.
Another place which Mr. Scott has
utilized for mushroom culture is a cor
ridor which extends the "entire width
of the houses, some 114 feet Benches
were erected in this corridor, which has
a gradual incline toward the entrance.
At the lower half mushrooms were
grown on the benches to a distance of
fifty-five feet, the beds extending over
one of the two four-inch pipes which
supply heat for this part of the estab
lishment, the bench being about two
feet above the pipes. These beds were
prepared in the ordinary manner and
after spawning were covered by sash
which was shaded with a coating of
whiting. Mr. Scott says it is imma
terial how near the glass the beds are.
In the winter the mushrooms will
stand all the light available, but to
wards spring it is too strong for them.
The sash keeps the beds close and pre
vents draughts and drying out They
are placed on a gentle slant so as to
carry off any condensed moisture
which may gather on them. In this
corridor the temperature last winter
was sometimes down as low as forty
five degrees, yet a good crop of mush
rooms was picked from the bed. In
the remaining sixty feet of the corridor
beds were placed under the bench,
flowering plants being grown on the
bench itself.
Mr. Scott obtains his supply of horse
manure from near-by livery stables on
very favorable terms. As it is brought
to the establishment it is piled in a
shed and then mixed with about one
fourth loam and turned every second
day. This gentleman believes in pack
ing his beds, and the manure with this
quality of loam In it renders it more
available for that purpose, besides ob
viating Its tendency to overheat, the
loam also absorbing the ammonia in
the manure. When the compost is of
the consistency that it will expand af
ter being squeezed in the hand it is
ready for use. The beds are made up
to a depth of seven inches, and
spawned when the temperature falls to
SO degrees. After spawning the beds
arc covered with about two inches of
loam. Mr. Scott begins the formation
of his beds about the first week In Oc
tober, and keeps on preparing them in
succession as often as he can get the
manure, right along until March. Thus
he has mushrooms from Thanksgiving
to the first week in June.
The spawn used is the English Mill
track; it is broken into pieces of about
two inches square and placed in the
beds eight or nine inches apart, to a
depth of two or three inches. The
beds are never watered until the mush
rooms appear if It can possibly be
avoided. Sometimes portions of them
will dry out, and these are gone over
with a watering-can having a fine nose.
During the winter water at a tempera
ture of 80 degrees to 90 degrees is used,
and in May and June water is applied
with a hose.
Mr. Scott says he has picked mush
rooms twenty-two days after spawning;
bi,t the usual time when a crop can be
gathered Is from six to seven weeks.
The mushrooms are pulled from the
beds, never cut; care being taken to re
move the roots also, as If these are al
lowed to remain In the bed they will
decay and kill off many of the mush
rooms which are left, and every thread
of mycelium which comes in contact
with them. The holes left by the re
moval of the roots are filled up with
soil.
Mr. Scott has never calculated the
yield to a square foot. Sometimes he
has gathered individual specimens
which weighed three-quarters of a
pound. However, he finds mushroom
growing sufiiclently remunerative to
warrant him continuing it Two of the
most vital points for success are se
lection of good spawn and the proper
preparation of the manure. These as
sured, the remaining work is easy.
Clay Soils These are called "heavy"
soils, evidently because they are hard
to work, just as sandy soils arc called
light, because thecy are easy to work.
Such soils frequently need to be
drained. They are good retainers of
moisture. They are very strong soils,
that Is, have a natural wealth of min
eral matter, and retain manures ap
plied. Cuthbert. or Queen of the Market
Among the red raspberries none are
more highly esteemed than this. The
plant is hardy, a strong grower, and an
abundant bearer: fruit, large, conical,
with a bright color and good flavor, and
firm enough to market well; season,
medium to late. Occasionally in severe
winters the canes are injured in some
localities at the tips. Ex. y"

A modem thinker has said: "The
oaly empire freely conceded to women
is that of manners; but it ia worth all
the rest put together." And a yoBf
mother ot the writer's acquaintance,
apeaking of her baby girl, said earnest
ly: "If I might claim a fairy god
mother's single gift for her it should
not be beamty, intellect nor wit, bat
that charm of manner which makes its
possessor universally liked. We in
stinctively feel that the graces aad
amenities of life must always be large
ly under the direction of women, and
these graces and amenities are too
strong a power to be ignored. One
sees women who may be intellectually
ignorant and narrow, but whose
charming manners gives them a social
power quite beyond their broader and
better educated sisters. And, after all,
to make pleasantness and peace for
one's little world, to make one's house
a place where every guest enters eager
ly and leaves reluctantly, to give cour
age to the timid, ease to thelawkward,
repress undue vigor of discussion and
to make even controversy pleasant all
belong to woman's traditional sphere,
and it is a sphere so important that
even the virtues are not complete with

.The greatest curiosity in the flower
and plant family known to grow on
the American continent is the rare and
beautiful "botanical dove," or "Holy
Ghost plant," which flourishes in great
profusion in Mexico, Cuba, Jamacia
and in tropical America in general. Its
name of "Holy Ghost plant," as well as
that of "botanical dove,"' has been be
stowed because of the singular shape
of its flowers. These flowers are pure
white in color and are as nearly in the
exact form and shape of a' bird as
could be possible. The "dove" portion
of this singular plant opens from the
end of a long, slender, green stem, and
when in full bloom is very fragrant

said an old and eminent surgeon. "Let
nature cure if possible."
"Operate with confidence as son as
possible, and let nature cure after
ward," said a younger doctor.
The other doctors are wrangling to
this moment over this issue.
The man whom one takes to be a
country doctor, wearing a sack coat and
a white necktie, awkward in gesture,
not glib of speech, and diffident of man
ner, is often found to Lc one of the
"star" city specialists, who is listened
to with the most respectful attention.
The First Lesson of an A rail Hoy.
The very first lesson which an Arab
baby learns, when he begins to take, is
to keep facts to himself. It does not
sound Very friendly, put in that way,
but it saves a deal of trouble. Foreign
ers do not understand Arabs. Ihoy
ask them pointed questions and receive
peculiar answers. They construe the
answers to please themselves, and say
to the world that the Arabs are a
nation of liars. They are not a nation
of liars. Perhaps, if they should tell
the foreigners to mind their own
affairs, and let them and theirs alone,
the foreigners would understand them
better.
When Searing- an Icebers.
The captain of an ocean steamer in
mest cases finds out when his ship is
nearing an iceberg from the men in the
engine room. When a steamship enters
water considerably colder tnan that
through which it has been going its
propeller runs faster. Such water sur
rounds the vicinage of bergs for many
miles. When the propeller's action,
therefore, is accelerated greatly, with
out the steam power being increased,
word is sect up to the ofliccr on the
bridge that icebergs may be expected,
and a close lookout is established.
lloston'a Famed Itrnwn Bread.
For one large loaf of bread use three
pints of sifted cornmcal, three pints of
rye flour, one cup of good hop yeast
aiid one cup of molasses. Mix very soft
with warm" water, pour the mixture
into a round pudding tin and allow it
to stand until light. Bake with a
steady tire for three hours.

A Geaerewa Child.
A few days ago I ran in to see a
woman friend of mine one of those
dear conventional women who take life
seriously, and wouldn't do an unusual
thing for half your kingdom. While
we were talking my friend's little
daughter came ' into the room. She
sidled shyly up to her mother.
"Mamma," she said, "may I go down
to Mamie's just a minute?'
The day was cloudy and the mother
demurred. The little girl insisted.
"I have to go, mamma," she said.
"Why, dear?" asked her mother.
The little girl hesitated a moment
and then, to her ultra-particular moth
er's dismay she cheerfully explained:
"Why," she said, "I lent Mamie my
chewing gum last night, and I want it
myself now." Washington Post
Regardless of Kapease.
This is a story about a man over in
Alexandria, who has a great deal of
money, to which he is deeply attached.
He is, in fact, so attached to it that he
hates to be separated from a dollar of
it He has a silk hat too, a well-preserved
silk hat of great age and un
doubted respcctabilit3. He is fond of
his hat, and he'd like to wear it every
day, but silk hats, you know, are ex
pensive, so he has been wearing his for
these many years just on Sunday. On
week days he wears a shocking bad
hat which docs not concern this storv.
The last time the storks visited the
Alexandria man's house they were gen
erous. They brought twins, a boy and
a girl. The father was sitting in the
parlor, when somebody entered to
bring the news.
"Well, you're a father now," said the
somebody.
"Boy or girl?" asked the Alexandria
man.
"Both; twins."
"Great Scott!" cried the father,
springing to his feet "Give me my
silk hat I might as well wear it every
day now. What's the use of trying to
be economical, anyway?" Washington

By prompt and decisive action the
maaagesaent of railroads have ran out
of their employ all men who prefer get
ting drank to holding steady sitaa
tions, or who think they must drink
liquor. Now the superintendent of the
Boston & Maine railroad has com
menced war against tobacco consum
ers, and has issued a circular to his
men which says: "Your attention is
called to the fact that yon are not al
lowed to use tobacco in any form what
ever while ob duty, nor on trains, or ia
the stations when off duty with uni
form or badge on. This rule is imper
ative and must be regarded at all
times." This may seem a little severe,
and may f o. .e some men to take a day
off occasionally for the purpose of
chewing.
