I ask for your love, 'and I will uot be easily denied.’ Kenrick, heartily planting himself in a chair near Mis* Harefiehl.By that duublfa! light be was wonder, fully like Cyril. The shock of hia entrance —something in the likeness, na he sat beside her with tbo fire-glow flickering upon hia face—moved Beaxtrix painfully. Sho could hardly answer him. * Thank you. I am much belter,' sho murmured, faintly, ' But far from well, I am afraid,* bo said. * You soem very weak.’ In tho next inslaul her Lend fell back □non the cushion of tho cosy.chair. Sho bad fainted. Kenrick rang tho bell violently for Rebecca. Ho was not a coxcomb, but he had a very good opinion of himself, and this fainting fit of Beatrix’s affected himself cuijonjiiv. Ha made up his mind that it was no whom tho loved, and not Cyril; and he matte up bjs mind that ho would win her far bis wife. not affect Mr, Dulcimer, however it might influence Kenrick. Tbo best thing sho could do would be to marry Kenrick,’ pur- sued Mrs. Dulcimor, thoughtfully, • but I could never Inks tbo same interest in the maiab Clint I should have done a few months ago. In fact I would rather not have act or part in it. If they were to marry, and Kenrick were to die suddenly, or under mysterious circumstances, and I bad been tbo means of bringing about the marriage, I should feel myself a murderer.* Mr. Dulcimer came in from bi# afternoon round at this moment. He nodded to Bella, and sank down with a fatigued air iu the comforlablo arm-chair that always stood ready for him by tho hearth. ‘ I Lava been to the Water House,' bo said, aa if taking up (ha thread of Lis wife’s discourse. • Beatrix is very ill,' * I am sorry to hear that.'' 1 run raote than sorry. These wretehee will contrive to kill her Wore they have dune. Namby soys that her illness is entirely the result of mental distnrbanoc. That monter Scales has gone off at a month's notice—after eating Hartfield's bread for sixteen yours—and loft that poor child to face this foul-mouthed world alone. Sho is ill, aud with no ouo but ecrvAnla about her. You ought to go nnd nurse her, Bella. She has been very good to you. I hope you are not a fair-wsnthor fnond—like tlio old man in the weather- giass who only comes out when tho sun is shining.’ ' Oh, Mr. Dulcimer, how can yon think so badly of mo ?' remonstrated Bella, * I don't wish to thiuk bodly.about yon. But you have rather deserted fJontrix lately, I have noticed.' • Mrs. Piper is to exacting, and sueb an invalid.’ * Well, Beatrix is also an invalid now, and Mrs. Piper must give way a little. Sho has her husband and children to tuko care of her. Beatrix has no one. As soon ns she is well enough to be moved I shall Lave her brought here.' 'Ob, Clementi’ exclaimed Mrs. Dulcimer. with a troubled look. ' What do you mean by ' Oh, Clement ? ' We have plenty of spare bedrooms. 1'ro- vidouce, iu denying us children, has bal anced matters by giving us spare bedrooms.1 * Don't you think people will talk if wc have her here ?

It can worry us into CHAPTER XXIX. “WHY WAS MY CUESSID THEN SO JLWtD TO Slowly and gradually health and strength camo back to Beatrix Harefield. The family life at the Vicarage was anew thing to her. It was a new thing to live in a bouse where every body was cheerful, and where nenpla seemed load of her. Tha library was her favorite room,nnd Mr.Dulcimer her chosen companion. Whether he was silently ab- sorhad in bis book, or laid it down, as he did very often, to ta|k to hor,Beatrix found hi# society all-sufficient. Sho read and studied at a table ho had allotted to her, opart from inm.and yet near him. Under bis guidance she read the books that filled her mind with the bust material—sho climbed from height to height npon tho bills of knowledge. , New worlds opened to her that »ho had never dreamed of, and sho wont in and found that there were pleasant regions in those strange worlds. Science, which sho hurl only known as a name,open ed it# treawuc-bouso for her. Art, which she bod known almost a# vaguely, WOK rn, vcalcd to her with all its mysteries aud beauties unknown to the ignorant. And about William tbo Connuerer iu a drawling voice, with a nasul ad libitum accompaniment. Thcso children never seemed fo get beyond William tbo Conqueror. Their historical ideas were strictly feudal, and it must have appeared to them only yester day when the curfew was heard from ovciy church tower, and Potor tho hermit was kindling tho souls of Christians with bis war-cry of Deus vuli. Bella slopped to see Iha littlo Pipers safely through their early dinner, tho tables of these juveniles being aa tnnch a soono of strife and contention as a nJ’ battle-field in history. It was a hard matter to proserve some semblance of peaac, still harder hi in- culcate any tiring approaching good man- uem, tho young Pipers having entered Ibo world wilfi an incanaoity for using spoons, folks, kuives, or utiierimploments of civil ized life in a decent manner. Tho bntiic- ficld was generally flooded before dinner was over—not with the gore of trio com batants, but with Brougham’s stout,or with Elizabeth’s regulation glass of old port, or a saueo-boat that b.id eapsixed in a struggle to get it “ firet," or a muMard-pot turned over in a free fight. Bella had A little more iuflneueo over these barbarians than (bo servants, who, coming ami going like the wind, were cf no authority ; but io-duy B.-lla sat nt tho bead of tbo table looking streight before her, and allowed the young Pipers to squabble, Buulcti, push, und kick one another lo their hearts' con. tent. Sho was thinking of that ideal vienr- ngo which might have been hers in the future if Cyril Culvcibouso bad ouly cared . And than b# told her his dream about f CplverbonsoCastle. How sho wak to reigu . theror—not !>k# his mother, in rifonee, lone liness, and seclusion, but in all tfie power of youth, beauty, nnd wealth, aud a qncou of country society, the centre and fac<i« of a happy world of her own, loved, admired, and revered. ’ll' exclaimed 'Beatrix; ‘ I wlio hev# . been suspected of poisoning my father!' ‘ Thal shameful aland«r bus never pen- etrated beyond this contemptible hole.' rei.l Kenriek, very disrespectful to Link Yuffnrd in tlio warmth of hi# indigualiou. ‘ For God’s sake, Beatrix, do not let that foul scandal weigh in your mind. Perhaps that ■ is the reason you reject uic,' be added, #'aw to Lelieye that ho bad been mistukc-u ubcu be fancied himself beloved.’No,’ AOBwered Beatrix; 'but the only man I ever loved rejected me for that reason-' * Oh ! ’ said Kenrick, deeply mortified, .After this confession ho could no tancrer doubt that bo bad mistaken Beatrix*# feel ings toward hits. He waa silent for noun minutes, aud then Lo exclaimed, aud- denlv, ‘ That man was my cousin Cyril! ’ * Ho was.’ 'Then my cousin Cyril fa a mean hound.' * Da you want me to bate you? ’ cried DeBtrix, angrily. • He is not mean- H# is ail that fa good and noble. Why should b;s pure life ba sallied by the iaiut that fias fallen upon mine? H«, a clergyman,could not afford to take a wife whom men have suspected of evil. He is like aCcesar. Hfa wife mnsl be abor# surpieiori. He loved meoncc. He will loveme always,perhaps, a little better than all other women, as I sliall love him to tbo end nf life above a!L other men. Bat lie lias chosen sometbiog better in tlii# life than a woman's lore. Ho has given himself to tho service of God. No unholy thing must come within the Veil of the temple. Nothing stained, not even with the suspicion of sin, must cuter there A priwlk wife must be spotless.’ ‘If ho eonid suspect you,' exclaimed Kenrick, vindictively, “be is unworthy—’ •Oh, for pity’s sake do not suggest that,' . interrupted Beatrix. ‘ I con dot believe that ho could suspect me—having 'onca ' kndwu and loved me. It was not hfa suspicion, but the evil tbuugbte of others, that parted us.' • Thop be is a coward,* cried Kenrick, honestly angry- * A man’s choice of hi#' wife i» a question ol life or death for Hiu-' s«lf. He is bath craven nnd fool If bo allow# other people to be the arbiters of hfa fate.' ' Bn! yon Jo not understand,‘ urged Bea. trix, pleading for tho man who had broken her heart. ‘ U fa hia ofiigo—’‘ His office be—’ ’ II# Blight bar# said somctbioR very. shocking if Mrs. Dulcimer bad not a me iu at ibis moment, Hbe found Bratrix in' tears, aud Kenrick pitciug up and Jc-wu tlm ’ room with a dfalrncled cur.

She haff a headache, and would go to bed early.' Kenriek was absent-minded and out of. spirits- Th# meal, usually so cheerful,»«' eaten in silsnce ; Mr. Dulcimer had picked, up a queer IHlfe eerenteenih-eontury e^py' of Boileau at Great Yntlord that morning.' and looked at the tail-ptece# #nd inUiala aa he took hi# tea, ‘ Stop and »mok« your cigar here, Keo.' said Mr». Dulcimer, when tea was over, aud Sir Kenrick was about to follow hfa boat to the library. i Bui don't yo9 dl#lika amok# in room i ’ ' Not for on«i in * way- Your cjgare are very miM. and Rabersa will arr Un r<»"«n well to-morrow tnornipg- I wool to ^***„ a ehat with you.' * Delighted,' read Kenriek, ritting daws poetry, best and sweetest of all, in her mind, opened the door of tho fairy-land of mcxhaustablo delight. Sha did not forget Cyril, but she learned to look with a calm disdain upon her maligners in Little Yafford and sho was almost happy.Before tha end of March Mre. Dulcimer had broken altogether with Miss Coyney. after rebuking.tlrnt ancient sibyl in no measured phrase for her want of charity. • I shall never drop in to tea here again,' said Mrs. Dulcimer. • No, Miss Coyney, not if wo should both live for a, hundred years.’ • I shall bo very sorry for that,' replied Miss Coyney, sitting very erect behind her oval tea-tray, and with her gaze fixed opon her silver tea-pot, marked with Kiuc George’s pig-taiLaodan hcir*luom;'butl will not alter my opinion ; even,’ with a tremulous movement of her cannon curls, ‘for the priveiego of retaining Mrs. Dulcimer's untimely graves, if wo ore foolish enough to bo worried by it—it can divide man And wife, or father and son, if man or wife, or father or son, is idiotic enough to Lo influ- eueod by the evil tongues of iudificrent lookers-on—but acaud&l cat: not, of itself, make tbo slightest dilTerenco in ue or in the world wo inhabit—it can not shorten our days, or prevent the sunnntr sun from shining upon ns.'‘ I am sure I don't know what Miss Coy- ney will say,’ murmured Mrs. Dulcimer. friendship- I cau only say—and J eliaAl say while the power at speech is lett me— that Xfiaa IlarcliulJ is a yooug person I would never consent to have in my house —uo—not if her thousauds were milhcus.' • • Fortunately Miss Hsrefidd does not want lo coma into your house,' retorted Mrs Dulcimer, very red and angry, and with all her frilling and puffings in agitation. ' Thousands indeed ! Do you suppose Bea- Iris Harefield’s for tune has any influeuce with Mr. Dulcimer ar ma ?’ • I don't presume to speculate npon Mr. Dulcimer's motives or yours, but I believe tho coroner's jury would have came to a very different verdict if Mirs Harefield bad been pout.and a stranger. Look al the wen who were on the jury. Why, there was Haslopo the grocer, who -bus served the Water House ever since he lias been in the trade, aud Ridswe.l the upholsterer, who had tho order for tho funeral. Slavish creatures who have fattened upon the HareficJd family. Of course they would not condemn the daughter of their patron.’• What proof can yon bring against her?' * Enough to Lang bar if she had been any body else,' said Miss Coyney. * Why did ehe buy that laudanum'?’ ‘ For her own uso.’• Ab !’ said Miss Coyney. Tbero is a great deal of moaning in ths monosyllable 'Ah'.’if it be uttered with a grave shake of t!;e head, a tightening of ihiu lipa, and a prolongation ot tone. ' I don't think Ibero is any Christian feeling in Little Yafford,’ exclaimed Mrs. Dulcimer, drawing on a tight glovo and bursting it in a ruinous manner. * Except at tho’ Vicarage,' sneered Miss Coyney. e- *Tho piano i» given over to a pack of prying old maids and spiteful old bachelors.'1 Thank yon,' said Miss Coyney, with withering sarcasm.She rose to accompany Mrs, Dulcimer to tho door. Sha waa uot agoing to foil jn politeness even to a deporting foe, ‘Good-afternoon and good-by,' said the Vicar's wife,walking along tho liHie Garden path with an air of shaking the dual of Mis* Coyney'B tenement from off her shoes. From tbia time forward Mrs. Dulcinjer took Beatrix under fisr wing. Sho forgot that she too had shared tlio dark suspicion# of Little Yafford. It was in tier wind as if those suspicions had never been. She was a woman who Jived from hand to month. Her ideas were the ideas of to-day; .yesterday's conviction# want for nothing. She told Rebecca that sho WM disgusted with tbo people ot Little Yafford for their infamous conduct to Beatrix; and Itebeeca.wljo, though of loo sterling metal to be a time Server, loved to please her mi«tres?, went over to Miss Hartfield's party, and defend ed her stoutly at all kitchen tea-parties.

' Every body tells me I aui pretty—ovon Mr. Piper, coarse and common as hois, always c nnpliuieul? rue aliout my looks.

Sho shad some sullen learn on her way home, across tha windy Park, along tbo bloak high-road. There ‘Miss Coyney is not ray bishop,' re torted her husband ; ' and if sho were, I should uot consult her as to my choice of guests.’Bella went to Uio Waler House next dny. Sho found Beatrix prostrate with some kind af low fever, and light-headed. It was altogether a piteous spectacle, this louely sick-bed. Mr. Namby came iu three If rocs in tho course of the day and evening, and was full of anxiety about his patient. He found Bella eitling quietly by the bedside, ready lo assist the faithful ton id-servant in nursing her mistress. Mrs. Peters, tbo fat housekeeper, caiuo in every half hour, and w„ miserable because her beef tea and ealvus'-font jolly were not appreciated by the fever-parched invalid. Cyril's name camo more limn once from those dry, pale lips, wliille Bella sat by and listened. His desertion was evidently the blow that had struck home. ‘ I am al raid sho has heard some of the unkind gossip that's been about, and (hat it has preyed upon her mind,' said Mr. Namby, in a confidential ebnt with Miss Scratchcll; • I can’t account lor her illness in any other way. It’s all the mind. Mr. Dulcimer promises to carry her off to the Vicarage directly she is well enough to bo moved. That will bo a very good thing. Change—change of accun and surroundings will de a great deal.’ T« Mr. Namby, wluw« horizon bad for the last five-and-twenty years been bounded by the sulky ridge of the moors that shut in Little Yafford. a change from tho Waler House to tho Vicnrago seemed a grand thing. And if in the summer his patient could bo taken to Scarborough or Harrogate, th# cure ought to be complete. Mr. Namby never thought of prescribing the Tyrol or the Engadine. Those places had for him lillle more than a traditional or geograph ical existence, and were only present in his mind aa certain wavy Hue# noon the map. The days of Cook and Gaze,when even such persons as Mr. Namby WAS personally con- dncled over the face of tho Continent, were yer to come.Beatrix mended slowly under Mr. Nam- by’# care, and with plenty of nursing from MJK. Peters, Mary, the house-maid, Bella, and Mrs. Dulcimer, the Vicar's wife being inoupable of remaining long in a state of even tacit opposition to her dear Clement. She was not quite comfortable in her own mind about Beatrix, but she triad la be con- vinoed; and sho told hentelf that such a clover man as Clement, with the finest library reference that ever A country parson collected, must bp wjaer Ihaa Miss Coyney. So one aftertjoon, in windy March, Beatrix was put into <ba aLhfashioned earriag# in which her mother had driven during her brief wedded life, and WM conveyed io the Vfearsge, there to remain until aha wu strong enough to travel, Hho felt a sonaa. lion nearer akin to bnppinest khan aha had known for a long time when she found her self aeated in th# Vioaf#fire-lit library,with * littlo old-fashioned tea-table by her side, and Bebocca wailing upon her with a cap of strong tea.

Tho twilight shadows wore failing already, but th# half dozen dingy littlo shops in tho vil lage street were dimly illuminated with oil or tallow; but an hour or eo before toa was always the best lime for finding Mrs. Dulcimer. • W4I, my dear, yon have licard tho news, I anppose ? ’ said tha Vicar’s wife, dispensing with the osua! * How d y# do ?

Mr. Gibsou lias many qualifications which should commend his candidature to tho electors of the South Riding of Oxford, and if wo mistake not these will have great weight in bringing him through tho contest successfully. He has been a long resiilont iu tho Riding and although only a young man bo has brought himself in(o notice and command.'* tho re spect oi all who know him, by his ind. mit- ablo perseverance in his desire to acquire knowledge and the fluent nud ready facility ho possesses as a public speaker, in beingable toi impart his views and researches to others.

Tna PAPCD run by tho Grit clique In this town, say a the clique are a suggestive lot cf politicians. They are, truly. They suggest to one tho remark of the Globa ap plied to tho present Lion I.

It sug gests these, and—more. IT WAS couBidtrod at the (lie time of tho Mit olectiou a huge joko to elect Skinner u oppHiji>n to cka (sliimh? elijt> w'n brought Elgar out. But when tho oxcitc. moot cooled down a little after the election pveryono felt that it was humiliating to “Glorious eld Oxford " to postess such a reprebeotalive. Some consolation was felt, however, in t'.io fact that ho would have only a part of a term to serve, anil it was thought, u a matter of course, that ha would never bo supported AJMU hy any eksa of people having respset for tho Riding. Il’s a pleasant thing to know now that he will Only get the support ol the Ingersoll clique and thoAe who ara williug to bo le I by tbs nose by them. WE BATN'T heard of Colonel Skinner re- ooiviog a missionary appointment to British Columbia, and wo think it. highly probable that he will be present in the Biding during (Ue coming election campaign. On account of thia, tbero will bo a considerable saving of money, limo nnd brains to tho Ingersoll clique. There will not bs this limo any necessity of composing lelegrat*,—which takes time nail brains,—and sending them all over creation only to have them receiv ed here again as having been sent by their candidate from British Culumbin-^faioh takes money. The money so saved can bo exchanged for 82 Brown bills, which can be placed " where they will do the most good," yon know. THE wiat FCLXEB'S paper said list week: —“ Tho Tories eq ter into tho contest with out tho least chance of success, and they know it about ns well as wo can tell them!" Now that is a very si|!y sentence coining from nny quarter; but coming from a source where bettor information ought to prevail, ■ nd wo believe does prevail.it is worso than silly—il is simply false. Tho fact is, never in the history of this County has there boon so good a shanco to elect a man of 11io right principles as the prceenl time. The Con servatives never wore so cheerful on enter- ing a contest, and they ore perfectly satis fied, at this early singe, that Mr.-Gibson will bo the next M. P. fir South Oxford. Neither false telegrams. 82 Brown bills, or any of-the other influences usually used by liie clique of this town will elect Col. Skinner. of him, must neknowlodgo that in romo of 1 tho stormiest debates which have taken place ou tho public platform, whether of n local or genera! nature, Mr. Gibson has al ways been able by his tact and flneise in debate Io securo an nttejitivo Hearing. As a public speaker, debater and logician ho has few equals in this vicinity. Although never haring before been nominated as a candidate, yet ho has taken n very nctivo part in every election which has taken place here in tho past fifteen yenre. lu all tiher Fpublic matters too he has been more or lessn debater—not, ns might to inferred, merely for the love of debate, bat taking a deep in terest in passing events,bo bus felt compell ed, ns any active mind would, to take issue on one side or the other. And his bitterest enemy—if ho has one—cannot but admit that whenever ho ! n< appeared as an advo cate of any particular cause, bo has done it with a sincorq aud conscienlions conviction that hp was in tho right. His reputation as a debater is not merely confined to the vicinity of bis bome.bnt it is acknowledged throughout tho Ivnglh aud breadth of the province,and wherever a hard fight has had to bo fought, Mr. Gib’cy has boon sent for to take tho stump against tha ablest oppon ents that could be found on the opposite side. Although we hare not nt all times coinci- dad with bis views in his advocacy cf tho Dunkin Act yet wo have been compelled to admire and honor him fur his straiglitfor- ward nnd manly soiiwe. Althongh he is a Conservative In principle yet he has entmgli liberality and camcienliousjudgment to pre. vent him from being led into tho error of following nny party or leader LT tho take of party. Ifo is thoroughly etubned with the idea that in order that Cnnndn may at tain !lial proud *pasiii»n to which wu all look firward in hopeful anticiparion, tho staicimen who arc nt tha helui of affaire must adopt a national policy, which." by a jjlichua readjustment ot tho tariff, will loEufit and fetter the agricultural, miuinp, mamilnetnring nul other interest cf the! Dominion." This is a question t» which ho has devoted much study, especially < f late, and if ho should bo so fortunate es to secure a eeat in tho House of Commons are convinced that we shall hear a goal ne- count of L:m. In his private elmiacter bo । is a person whom wo need never nerd be ashamed of and we need not fear bis bring- ing-any reproach upon us as a constituen cy. His interests in the Riding are co- eqiiBl with ours and while ho will have the gaueral interests of tho Dominion in view, ho will not alldw tire more circunscribed interests of his constituents to esfli.r fir want of nttenlicu. Wo believe he is ttni- nently fitted to represent tha Sc-Htl; Biding of Oxfird in the House of Cotnixms and Alkali giro bis canditure our undivided sap- porl, in securing for him the position for wbighjle has b6en nominated. We shall on onr part carry on the contest fearlessly in his favor and although our cpponanls may aeo fit to slapder and abuse, as they have already corumtncoil to do.ev.u before the candidate was in the ft rid, our readers will not find tho TRIBVXE dcscoading t« that low strata of political quagmire of ' slandering (bo character of our opponent in order to bolster up onr own standard bear- er. Col. Skinner is in thofield as the Minis- : Oxford’ wil! return »Twry.’’ From the above it will bo seen that I told a lie, or used very poor arguments, or both. lu either case I «m viry sorry. If I spoko falsely, 1 Jwg te assure the clique’s editorial staff that it wu altogether unintentional, and also to acknowledge that it ia a •■glorious” thing to know that in “ Glorious old Oxford ” when ono makes a mistake, either wilfully or through bad memory, there is a paper that can set hitn right so easily and promptly ; and I suppose I should thank that paper in this matter, for I must have been under a wrong 1 impression. At any rate I had an idea that there were meetings held throughout the Ruling some time j>rcrbii* to tlic day of nomination, that the meeting for this town wsn held in the Town Hall; that all those faithful tn the to veto for a-s delegates; that this became known throughout the town, and Noxon’s friends were also ordered to tho front ; that they went in such numbers ns to make the cliqiK shako in their Ixmts at tho awful pros pect of Using beaten in their little jramo ; that ■ angnr followed fear, and that nue of the fricmls of the clique, during a tremendous eloquent oration, showed that hie ire was fearfully aroused by calling a pumber of electors who wero present M friends oT Mr. Noxon, “ Noxon’s black faces.” I have been under tho impression that tho fureguiug occurred, and occurred, ton. not ’‘on tho sonic day and at the same hour." Rut supposing tho meetings for appointing delegates and nominating a candidate were held an the same day’, ulicro would bo tho proof in this that the clique had not so cunningly managed ns to eccuro tho a|t|K>intmcnt of a majority of the delegates ?

Millot has oflan been recommended as a forage plant, for which it has special ad- ^kutages os itcau bo sown late in tho seas on whan th* other crops aro out of the way. It may bo succcssfuly grown upon land too wat for putting iu oats or other early spring crops, or it may ba sown on land after a crop of barley or gross ha* been gathered, and mature sufficiently for forage. The com - mon millet will ripen its seed within sixty days after sowing and it will then moke good hay, beside affording a large quantity of seed valuable for poulty, or, if ground, excellent to mix with corn or other grain to feed to cattle and pigs- The seed of millet is worth all tha crop coat to raise, leaving the hay for a profit. As tho crop can bo pul in and harvested at seasons of the year when other work does not press upon the farmer's time, it* culture ia made easier. It to an excellent crop to put upon a stubborn piece of ground to kill ont weeds, such as thistle*, dock &c., for if the land ia well plowed and the surface made mellow, th* millet will soon shade it thoroughly and kill out tho foal stuff. A little manure on the surface harrowed in With the seed will often double tho crop. Time should be given to allow the scad to ripen before frost. The crop may bo run through a threshing machine, or if bound up iuto bundles, threshed with flails to separate seed. A bull bushol of seed is abundant for an acre. The Gulden or German millet is tho best for a forage plant and resembles corn iu its growth, as it throws out a broad, caru- like loaf. The stalk is also soft and edible. This sort ofi millot requires nearly the entire season to mature its *c«d,aud should, in a northern latitude,"bo sown by the fir-4 of June. For forage alone it may be jnii in the lasl of June when it will make full growth of stalk but not ma taro the seed. It requires stronger land than the common to make a Vigorous growth. On rich land the amount of forage is immense. Stock ■will eat either of these grata-grasses with a -decided relish in winter and they aro most excellent for a change. For green fetd 4h»y aro also good. As a supplementary crop, when the meadows aro light, millet to most valuable. A meadow with a slim prospect for bay might be turned over, and bo made to yield a eaticfactory crop by sowing to millet, and at tho same bo filled for a crop ol grain tho next year. If tho frost holds aft, the seed will not mature when the golden to sowed late, aa it requires a requisite degree of boht which ia not uff- .orded after September. It should always be cut before any frost touches it, or it* value for feeding will bo greatly injured. Like corn, it bianchea and dries off when frozen. The seed of Hungarian grass i* not equal to mitlot for feeding stock. It to not much if auy bc;tcr than that of ou- nativosammor gnaw which it very mock resembles. The latter which is often plentiful iu a grain crop, to good for cattle if ground up and mixed with bran or meal. Fed alone it to too laxative.—Rural Reto Yorker, A Profitable feeding' €rop. It is the practice in some parts ef south ern Herkimer county to grow a mixed crop of barley and oale for feed.se wing an equal quantity of each by measure. It to found much.moro can be obtained in Ibis way. from a given piece of land.
