ponderous sides, such ns Gcorpe Wash

and others similar. It is rather an umus
ine fact that almost every Flora Mc Flint
sry that visits the prove, seems lo Imve a
desire to render her inline immortal by piv

assured mu that ho had scores of these fan

A visit to these trees will richly r'puy
any one who is fond of the iiinisu d in Na

I walked round them, and viewed ihetn on
every side, my feelinxa were those of awe.
reverence and wonder.
The very fact of their having withstood
the winds and fires, and fronts and snuws
of more titan three thousand years, uud
yet to all appeariiiiee beinjr only jn-t in
their prime, invests them w.th solemn dig

we are lest in wonder end amazement.

will make fair winter end excellent spring

es nnd yields a rich supply of food.
Hut for nil purposes of pasture, no grass
will take the place of Kentucky Blue
Grass. Its ndvantapes for winter pasture
cannot lie excelled, it m:.k"s capital beef,
butter and cheese. What would the best
and richest portion of Kentucky lie with
out her blue grass pastures?
One word more, Brother Fanner. Now
is the time "i mcejitcd Unit" to pre

I do not believe in sowing grass seed with
wheat or rye or oats in Oregon. I'' we
want to be certain or success, we must sow
the grass seed, when the ground can he
