The old man philosophizes over the condition of the democratic party, and incidentally throws out a few timely suggestions which are wor thy of consideration. | ■ “As for the Dimmycrats,” re marks Mr. Sanders, the time’s past when you can hurt ’em by j-’inin’ ’em, or by gwine off som’ers else. The party has got to that pi hit whar it can’t be hurt any wus9’ an’ whar it can’t be holp by any body on the outside. Its got to wash its face an’ ban’s an’ put [on some clean duds an’ go back to fust principles. It’s got to put men in the lead that knows what fust principles is—men who won’t up an’ sw’er that they*r own idias an* opinions is fust principles. “What it needs is a man, or a set of men, who can look into their own minds an’ know what the people want. You nee’nter tell me-thar never was a day when the people of this country wasn’t purty nigh all on ’em Dim mycrats, an’ they don’t need t uo organizin’ on that line. All tbat the party needs is to put its head light in front instead of behind, an’to stop foolin’ wi’ men that thinks, the republic has been wrecked ever’ time a betsy bug flies ag’in the wall. Ef you was to rake the country over wi a fine-tooth comb, you couldn’t find a wuss old moss-back than me. I don’t like, changes, an’ I’m so sot iii my wavs that I’ll wake up ef the clock stops tickin’, an’ yit ef ” can’t git - waffles for breakfast, J can git along mighty well wi’ bat- tercakes, an’ ef I can’t git batter- cakes, I can put up wi’ four or fiye right hot biscuits.” How the Department of Agricult ure lias Recognized Import ance of Grasses. “There is no line of work more intimately connected with the ag ricultural interests of the country than investigations of grasses and forage plants. “Grasses are so common, grow ing everywhere in meadows and waste places, upon hillsides and plains, covering the bare places of the earth with their myriad hosts of individual plants, that we are apt to forget their vast significance in the economy of nature, and that they constitute the" greatest of our agricultural resources, and form the very foundation upon which seats all our agricultural wealth and prosperity. Accord ing to estimates of the Division of Statistics^ the hay crop of *96 aln Amounted to 60,000,000 • tons, valued at nearly $4,000,000,000, exceeding by a third the total val ue of the wheat crop. In addition to this vast quantity of hay which would lbarely-; suffice to parry through the year the 16;000,000 milch cow8 owned by the United States, enough pasturage, fodder and green - forage were supplied to feed 37,000,000 sheep, 30,000,000 cattle, 14,000,000 horses and 2,- 000,000 mules. A conservative estimate and the total annual val ue of the grass and forage crops of this country is moire than $1,000,- dop.pOp. “Among the great nations of the world* ours has been the first to give official recognition to the im portance of these crops by estab- ishing in the Department of Ag riculture a Division of Agrostol ogy, especially devoted to working out grass problems. “During the past year 6,000trial packages of seeds from collections made by the division have been distributed, more than 3,000 gras ses have been identified for corres pondents, and replies to more than 600 inquirers, relative to the me thods ot cultivation, uses, and feeding value of grasses, have been prepared.”—Arthur Heury in Ainslee’s. —Queen Victoria never wore the crown of England, except; at her coronation, in 1838, and when she sat for her portrait, says the Chi cago Record. It is the heaviest and most uncomfortable kind of a bonnet and weighs several pounds. The crowu which for the admira tion of public reposes upon a scar- et velvet cushion in the treasury of the Tower of London, guarded by stalwart sentinels, is not the real thing, but only an imitation. Very few people know where the real crown is. It is locked away in some strong vault under the care of LeiuL Gen. Sir Frederick Dobson Middleton, K. C. M. G., C. B., keeper of fhe crown, who re ceives a salary of $1,500 a year* foi assuming this tremendous respon sibility. The real crown contains 1,273 rose diamonds, 1,363 brill aints, 273 round pearls, 4 large egg-shaped pearls, 26 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 24 rubies and one large ruby set in the center of a dia mond Maltese cross. This is the finest ruby in the world, and has a bloody history. It once belong ed to the Moorish King oLGrana- da. He got it, according to tradi tion, from an .Abyssinian Prince, who captured it. from a Sultan of Western Asia. Pedro the Cruel, King of Spain, invited bis Moor ish neighbor to visit him at the Alcazar of Seville. The heathen trusted tie Christain, and came across the country, wearing his richest garments and jewels and attended by a spl ended retinue. But before the hospitality of Don Pedro was exhausted every one of his guests was beheaded, and his own hands snAtebed this ruby from the turban of his rival. EdwardT bought it from him, and Henry V Wore it in his helmet at the battle of Agincourfc. Management of Cows. A cow requires very little exer cise and should be driven but^short distances to pasture. The muscu lar effort of chewing her food and the subsequent process of digesting the same and converting the nutri tive elements into milk, new. flesh,v bone, etc., amounts to a considera- not be many years before the seed : ; r : ble tax upon her nervous energies. It constitutes the allotted daik work of a modern cow, with her natural functions abnormally de veloped for a special purpose, and corresponds to the daily routine work of a horse or ox. Every scare, from chasing by dogs or boys, involves an undue waste ol nervous energy and consequent lo* s of richness in the milk. If the cows are to be pastured, let the pasture be as near the stable a*- possible. An abundance of as pure and wholesome water should be provided as her owner would pro vide for the use of himself and family; Value of Cottonseed. Cottonseed is fast becoming an important factor in reckoning the value of the cotton crops, says an unknown exchange. So many uses are found . for them that the de mand is increasing every year.. nly a few years ago cottonseed were regarded aW oriiy fit for us* as fertilizer, and in some instances as a feed for cattle, but now it i» quite a profitable industry in near ly every Southern town of any siz* „ and, after the oil has been presses tromthem, for which many use?- are found, the meal and hulls left a^e used extensively for both feed for cattle and as fertilizer. It will of the cotton ‘ will be a still more important factor in the markets of the world' : .*'• OODS left over from the fall trade must be sold now, and in order to do this prices will be made to make them go.
