This, of course, can only be done where the common red cloveris grown. Millet furnishes an excellent eubstitute for hay, as many of our farmers very well known, and it may be sown any time this month. It will furnish from one th three' tons of fodder, as. valuable ton for ton for feeding purposes as good hay *hen it is cut at the right time ad properly aura It is also much relished by the stock, and is an excellent food for milch cows.

From t ere one gets a very pretty view of the o'ty. I am not going to describe the Capitol, because most any, guide -book can do that better than I can. Suffice it to pay that I saw the great historical paintings, went through the hall of sta- tuary, the famous whispering gallery, and the Congressional library, and stood in the Congress Chamber, the Supreme Court and the Senate Chamber, and even had the presumption to imagine myself a member of those august bodies sitting under the watchful eye of Speaker Reed or Vice -President • Levi P. Morton. From the Capitol I took the car down Pennsylvania avenue,(or maybe its up), to the White House. The Executive Mansion, or White House, is a lerge,old- fashioned,white merble MisnliOn, with a pillared portico in front and embowered as it is in trees and surrounded by beau- tiful lawns, it seems the:very embodi- ment of a home. I think it would be a great pity if the American love of dis- plaishould lead Congress to do away with the White Hose and put in its place a more modern -looking and showy structure. ' Then I proceeded tt? the Washington monument. It didn't look far, and after I had walked about a quarter of an hour it dida't look a bit, farther nor a bit nearer either, but after . a while I got there and found the eleva- tor gone up. As it would net go up again tor half an hour I decided to walk up, viewing, as I went, the memorial tablets placed in the walls by the var- ious corperations, secret societies and States. lArrived at the top, I got a nice i view of he most beautiful city in the United States and came down in the elevator and a lather of meat. Then I went over to the Y. M. C. A. building, bid the fellows good-bye and started to catch the 12405 train. But here I made a great mistake. Instead of walking I took a Washington horse car which land- ed me at the depot just in time to raise the express, so I took a way train for Baltimore. I bad about three hours to spend in that cityand made the beat of it. The business portion of the city, especially the wholesale region, is about as dirty and ugly as one would care to find, but the residence portion is very beautiful.; the streets are extremely clean, and there are plenty of trees and flowers. The whole city, as seen from the top of the -monument, is beautiful. I left Baltirhore by the afternoon ex- press on the famous Royal Blue line, passing through what is probably as fine a piece of country as cad be found in the Linited States. I passed , a couple of hours in Philadelphia, saw the famous old City Hall, the Post Office, and John Wanamaker's store and arrived in this dirty, ugly, busy ell' New York about 4 p. M.
