Jack frost, orders such gallant and unyielding recruits into December winter quarters. Maucls A. Bonn Kit. 11*nun l.ouUvilU- Urine unit l-'arm] Since the publication of uiy former letter 1 have sought information concerning this Quasi Clover of various persons of great observation and experience, among whom were I'rot D. L. I'nares. author of "flora of Mississippi," I'rofcssor of Biology ol the A. and M. College, Mississippi, Sanitary I Commissioner for the State at large, and of many papers on medicine, natural history, etc., and of improved {arming, and the author of "farmers' Book of grasses," and even this distinguished gentleman could not trac j its origin, or even was aware of its existence until I sent him a sample. I'rof. I'bares requested of uic a more minute, description, iiko many others, of this Quasi ..I 1 -- 1 .... cm?ei aim as i am impressed witn Hie belief that Home ami Farm has the largest circulation of ati} of my nine papers, I will write for it the description. Quasi clever, in my pasture at this date ( July 14), resembles at a distance afield ol pcuviucs' It is now in lull bloom, and the continuous buzzing of millions of honey bees, feeding upon its blossoms, and feeding in every direction around you, together with the sight ol my grazing cows with distended udders, would .truly iusnifQ tli* fcTTiI Tvmnuer wflTi?"i oelmppT iliougnr that ^ indeed this must be ' a laud ol milk liud honey." I have thirteen cows and we got so much j milk and butter that wo have concluded to j allow the little calves to graze with their j mothers all through the day unmolested.! and we find apparently very little diflefiice in the quantity of milk the next morning, i having been separated through the uight I only fro,H their nun her . 1 never knew or heard of this clover be* ; line last yeai. It came up on my farm in j lied llivcr vallev. after the high water in 1 the early part of 1882. 1 h id the year be* ^ lore had deadened a piece ol wet, still', j black bind, .vhich, every summer after the 1 water wetitolf, would be very bald and with | cracks everywhere in it?so intteh so that : nothing would survive upon it. This laud, on that account, was valueless, unless! ditched and rcelaitned. However, when this Quasi clover was first seen, it seemed ! right there, on this very land, tobeluxuri- : tiling in the zenith of its glory, and within two months from its appearance it had cov- i en d the entire deadening?overreached tho ; bogs, and was basking in the sunsiiiuc on brush lu-aps and trash piles. 1 would feel delighted to have some ex pert in the scientific analysis o! forage j plants to stop at my house on Kcd river. ! thirty-five tulles below Slirevcporl, and | spend a few days with me admiring ibis j wonderful pasture clover, sec the brimming 1 full pails of iteh milk and the well-filled , tubs of golden butter. \\ lieu the seed are ! matured, they are formed on a little cob, a j /(/< simile, under a microscope, i fa miniature corncob, including its pit h, shape and j all. There arc, on the largest cobs, from ; ten to fifteen seed in a row. and from ten to twelve rows. The first biooins come in a circle of one row, at the butt of the cob. these remaining for many days, and while drying up on the forming seed a new circle j of bloollls lor the second row i- ins! ir. I - . ? J ing, which, as the lir.t circle <?| bin.mis. roj man: mai.y (lays ami tlicii the second row | of seed arc formed ; and thus the llowers | continue, from May until near tali, in a ooi'iieoiis array el beauty, producing siich an unrivaled harvest field lor the little busy boo. Those seed will bo matured fully on the eldest vines much sooner than en vines el'subsequent ejovvth, and bo mere ef them oil the cob, when matured, than en late cobs. 'I his elev. r is very easily killed by the plow, allheuuh it masters .all other vines, wc< ami pass, w. i.dl I have Seen vioilljj wst.lt it. !.a>i year i had in cultivate n a b vv rows of cotton near this pasture, .vhich had this clover on it, and by plowing it as niili tin-other rows, it was olleetu uliy kill.a], i iiis year I am allowing; it toy.io.v and lloiiiish m tin; water furrow of my eoti n row.*, and 1 apprehend no danger wiiatevir iroili it, as in the drill, under the shade ol the cotton, it will only creep on the jrouud u.irpetlikc, and ncvur ascend tlm stalk, as I it revels alone in tin- sunshine. Outside' ol my pasture of (juasi clover tlie shady woods of tiie same king of* land is separated from the pasture only by a wire h nee. and iltlmugll the deadening is one solid ina-s of verdant clover, yet the Woodland sh id ke< ! ? back every sprig of 111i> (Juasi elo\i i L >i winter, alter the early frosts bad kiilt 1 < . ry tiling, this clover still remain--i tn iii. and only did i: yield its green until ' after .Jack Frosts came in his frozen pub. ' The Quasi clover lias uiauy advantages to : render it valuable. It will prow on hard packed land, cracked open in summer, or it will prow in early sprinp in water almost p0 | covering it In this way land otherwise | f(1 f worthless uiay be utilized and l o made to j q blossom as the rose, Lust April I had scld I js i llJO head of cattle to ?dr. .John O'Neal, of; Cll ! I.avaco Texas, and had nowhere t<> confine : ; t lictn, except within this Quasi clover pas : j.; ture, which at that time was quite voting j el j and toiidor and partly uudcr water, yet a j ,,, greater porliou of those eat tie were allowed j to graze on this clover until May 1, and. I ;*j( excepting the fact that they kept it eaten down tolerably eloso. I saw no other injury nt] to it from continuous tramping. wj From one seed of this Quasi clover a [; little vine will appear, and two inches up jtl that, two other vines at right augies, and s:l so"ou at every joint, each joint sending ev out its own independent rootlets until the jK vines arc radiating ,tn every direction. Since laying by my corn, I have turned my p, horses and cattle on this clover, saving many ro bushels of corn. The seed of Quasi clover. f j, would be tedious to gather, by hand, but js by pulling up the whole vines, i would suppose that an oat sack of vines would secure seed enough to plant at least an acre. : and if only one seed every three squares ,.r would he seed enough to form a eonsi lera- pl(1 blj pistnte. with matted clover, the lirst summer. ,jt, The greatest advantage of this clover is. y(, that it gives unyielding, verdant pastures aii ur through the mid-summer, at which time all ,.()l other clovi rs have died out, and this fact ),,, will render. jtv"bial?lo tor nmnnmcr pasture.

Such a person has got much beside her art to attend to, and her mint! must bo constantly occupied in devising means to uiush fleas and not give it away to the audience. An actress can, if she feels a flea grazing around, suddenly place hoi hand oil her heart, an i while the nudicuce is looking at the expression of pain on Iter face, she cau lit one or two lingers wander down where the Hea is and paralyze hiui, and the audience will think that it i? a gesture that is in the I p?'?y. I>iit there are places on every ueismi where a Ilea might, wall; arm in arm with another ilea, sipping the life blcod and becoming intoxicated, where no gesture laid down in a play will hit. Suppose .Mary Anderson, while tiring to lion I Hoim o up to the hulcouy so she can bop | it lie has been chewing cloves, {'eels a Ilea ! "Wherefore art thou, Kouico slie can ! everlastingly dig her nails into too opening in the corn I and kill the Ilea, and the audienec would he. none the wiser, while if she hacked up against the railing and scratched io r back on a scene, it would be noticed 'and commented onto her discredit as.au j artist, and besides, she might push down the j scenery. Again, if a flea should appear to be exploring the vicinity of her waist, while :t would n a be admi-silile for her to create ' a gesture that would lit the case, slut could, by the poetic license that is granted all great geniuses, lean against the raiting, on the p lint where the Ilea was. and, while giving iaiiy to Kouico. she eohkl make the Ilea think lie had got ill the wrong irjw. And yet. in that scene, if a lew fleas should get aui"it^ her stockings, as is almost eeitain to ' the eise, Mary wouh] not have any exs euso. by any act or gesture in tlie play, to | pay any attention to the Ilea, and she wouid I have to go .>u with the play and die game. in opera it is diOcrent. The costumes I are such that the hunting of lleas is merepastime. Especially is tin- the case in the opera of "La &omnui)ibul:i," where the I s'eep-walker is attired with a candle and a garment that has always been ' highly recommended for the pursuit of fleas. it is supposed that actors are impervious | to the intliu-nci of fleas, but such is not the ease. Iiontli, Uarrett. .Jell ison and MeCuN lough are nervous a> women, and we nitty expect any evening to see llooth as Ilamlct ; drop his sword and roll down his black ! lights, uhiio the ghost is telling him the old I story. and catch a flea and crush it between Ins two thumb nails, null up bis stockings j and teil the ghost that he will go home and ; make it red hot for his mother and the uncle ! who poured incited sealing wax in t lie ghost's ear in the play ol i'lanccsca da Kim* 1 ini." when Lawrence IJarret starts home iroin the army to kill his brother and his J wife for being too numerous, and he is till 1 cxei'cni nt it would look strange to see biui i s;t (lowi) on a slump and go to eatcliiug fleas Ix't ?r.? *1*1 Illi'l.
