We take the following communication from
the Free Trader. Our planters would do well
to try this grass. From our little knowledge
of the Musquite Grass, we would say to grow
it with success, it should be sheltered as much
as possible from the sun.
"This grass, which has rendered Western
Texas so celebrated as stock raising country
by giving on the praries good winter pas
ture, has been tried in Mississippi for four wears
and has proved itself wen adapted to our soil
and climate in every particular. 1t has to be
planted once only on piece of ground and a
crop of hay from to 4 feet high can be cut
Oft it every year, and the old stubble sprouts
up and gives a fine pasture all winter, The
roots never die out unless pioaghed UP. Per
sons from Texas who have seen this grass grow
ing in Mississippi, say that it is as fine as it is
in Texas. Every one now who takes an in
terest in stock raising in Mississippi, has IL in
bis power to remove the only defect Ia want Of
winter paster,) under which our State has la
bored as grazing country. There is no cal
eulating the amount of stock that could be
raised in this State if We were able to feed
them during winter. The Musquite grass
will enable all to do this. The seed are fol
sale at Marsh, Pendleton & Meeks', where
samples of the grass are to be seen. The price
is five dollars per bushel, or two dollars pei
peck or three dollars per half bushel. Any
orders addressed to Marsh, Pehdieton & Meeks
or to w. s. Gibson, will be promptly attend
