tSomo one nets forth tho advantages of

is concise and correct: 1. it imnro'
with ago and never needs reseeding; u
)«isturo firty years old is in perfection.
2. It will do to pasture a full
month earlier than clover, and
about as much later in tho fall,
ifius lengthening tho grazing seaM)ii,
In favoiablo seasons I have pas
tured eight consecutive months on it. g.
It makes the best of winter pastures, and
when allowed to grow up fur this pur
pose the cattlo will thrive on (his when-

and so produces profitable crops in tim-
ber plantations mid on steep hillsides
sloping to tho bouth, where any other
graslcs would be killed out by ttm fn e >
ing and thawing of winter. *7. Oruuiht
never kilb it, no matter how thin the
•oil or how utterly burned by the drought
of summer; it starts into vigorous growth
again with the first rain mul soon clothes
the fields with verdure. All other
grasses and fram crops fail at
times, but Llucgrass never,
in all localities where it
dourUhcs it should find a place on every
farm and on broken lands; if threi
fourths of tho farm was seeded down to
it, it would Ikj found profitable. Blue
grass is tho luisture for tills latitude. In
*.he eastern i-art of tho state there i 5
plenty of it, but it is scarce in the Wet.
iiut we have no doubt that for all Ne
braska it 1h tho coming pasture in the

jfcrhaps one reason why it is not already

Value mf Our Annual Dairy Proiluru
As we frequently aco misleading
figures going the rounds of the pu ss in
regard to tho magnitude and value of
our dairy industry, wo venture to pre
sent a few figures showing tho approxi
mate amount and value of the products
of the dairy in 1880. We give tho btu^is
for our estimates so that each can judge
for himself.
The number of cows in the country,
according to the census of 1880. was
12,443,120. Tie increase was 28 per
cent., or an average of 2.8 j*r cent, n
i^ r . »«r tho previous decode. If we
call »t l.o per cent since, the numlter of
dairy cows in the country is 15,928,498.
A .d to them 1,000,000 family cows not
included in the census and we have 10 -
tetimated increase last year

During the twenty-three years sinco
1805-’W the Southern states have export
ed to Europe 72,960,000 bal«?s of button,
which averaged 164 cents a pound. This
cotton averaged 450 pounds to the bale.
The loss to the bale under tho Liverpool
in was L | r cent., or 75 cents per
bale. This shows that in tho twenty-
three years the Boutlarn planter bos

Atlanta, Sept. 8.—[Special. ]—Dr.
II. H. Tucker met with an extraordinary
‘J*! and vtry serious accident nt 2 o’clock
this morning, and a fatal result is feared.
His reshleneo is on Capital avenuo and
his bedroonpis on tho second floor. Tho
doctor had boon .quite’restless during the
night, vuablo to Bleep, and he rose from
UmI and wetfl to, a bay window in tho
room in quest of'a breeze that would
quiet Iris perves,
FELL TO TIIB GROUND WITH A THUD.
After ho had, been there souio time his
wife called to him, but had no response.
Thinking lio'might have gone to sleep in
the window, sh© called again and nlxmt
that time heard tho noise of a falling
IkkIv, followed by a heavy thud on
the ground outside nnd the groans
of one in great jmins. Imme
diate investigation showed that
Dr. Tucker, probably in a doze,
had lost his ualaueo and fallen out of the
window. The doctor was brought into
tho house, and had tho immediate atten
tion of Dr. Hunter Cooper, his son-in*
low, who fortunately resided iu tho
house.
IIIS INJURIES VERY ORATE*
The hriuries proved very grave, com
prising threo broken ribs and a broken
collarLouo.
Dr. Tucker, s!nco[the accident, has been
in such a .Condition, for tho most i*art
unconscious, that ho has been unable to
give any information as to how tho ac
cident occurred. Lato this evening Dr.
Cooper advised tho TELEGRAPH cor
respondent that there was no improve
ment in Dr. Tucker's condition uml ho
considered it a very critical case.
Dr. Tucker is tho able editor of tho
Christian Index, an ex-chancellor of tho
State University, an eminent Baptist
and a man highly esteemed here and
throughout-the state. Ilis advanced
age makes the injuries tho more serious.
Atlanta, Sept. 9.—[Special! — The
terrible accident which happened to Dr
H. JL Tucker yesterday morning, re
ported in to-day's Telegraph, termi
nated fatally this morning. At 6:30
o'clock this distinguished citizen and
iioblo Chrintittii gentleman found jeliuf

How Milk Should l»o Kept—Consum
ers of milk are too often indifferent to
their wavs of keeping milk after it
reaches them. When delivered in cans
it is a common custom of many )>copIe
to draw from tho same us they heed it,
and possibly a can may not l>o emptied
until a fresh supply it received. As soon
as the milk is brought it should ho
I»oured into a glass cr earthenware
pitcher, aud when this is emptied it
should bo made absolutely dean ami
then well aired. Thoso who havo young
children dependent u|H>n milk food
ought to receive a fresh supply of milk
both morning and night, otherwise in
the warm mouths it is extremely liablo
to'bedomo unwholesome. With but few
in cities is this jNw.-uble, and, therefore,
in summer it will Ikj well to maid the
supply when received, to prevent its be
coming sour.
We wish the young farmer dudes who use
ho overhead check rein on their buggy
horses were comi>elled to wear something
of the kind nn lions or two. If they havo
any humanity they would never again
bo guilty of i>er|N*truting such cruelty
