Pasture Grasses.

We have grass which grows quite com
monty in our pastures and along the road
side, that is known among us as June
grass, because it grows and blossoms So
early. Ii is the same that Is known in the
West as kentucky blue grass, and in Penn
svlvania as green grass Its botanical
name is Pa 20r0tensis, 1t is, without
doubt, the best pasture grass we have,-
the foundation of the dairy, and the basis
of the great beef producing industry OF the
Western States. and Of the butter and
cheese of the Middle and Eastern States.
In the rich limestone soils of Kentucky it
grows with greater vigor than 1t does with
u.s. but still it is sufficiently common to be
regarded as the most important OF the
turf OF our north fern latitUdes 1t stands
our drouth better than most other grasses,
makes two distinct growths in a year
starts among the earliest and houlishes
among the latest Of our cultivated grasses.
True, no one species of grass can be re-
garded as sufficient for our wants A great
mixture is essential TO our prosperity. since
we want grasses that start early, that start
at different times, and that vary in their
habits OF growth. We want grass that
grow rapidly after being nipped off BY cat
tie. The larger the mixture, the better
as a rule-will be the tnf. But if we
could select any one as more valuable than
all the rest, it would be the June grass
A great many farmers have been apt to
think that our common and modest little
white clover was the best grass they had
and they rejoice when it comes very tree
" into their pastures, and when it does
they call it clover year 1t is not a grass
at all,-that is, it does not belong to the
botanical family of grassea; and il it did, |
it is probable that it could not compare
with June grass in value to the farmer |
MIR. Lewis, highly successful and practi-
cal dairyman OF Herkimer County, n. Y. |
says that white clover is the poorest pas
ture grass we have; that it will shrink the |
milk of any herd OF cows, when it gets up
so as to give them a full bite; and that his
cows, when taken from a rich clover pas
ture and put on the shorter June grass,
will come up in milk al once This is
worth looking into. If it is so (and we
have no reason to doubt it, especially as it |
comes from such good authority, is it not |
better for US to take more pains to cult |
vate June grass, and leave the white clo- |
yer to work its own way into the soil? |
We never sow timothy on pasture lot. /
1t never pays. Sow June grass, orchard I
grass, perennial rye grass. red-top and tall |
oat grass

happened that he still survived. The rope
instead of COMPRISING the neck Of the
thief, pressed the bottom OF the helmet in
such wise that the patient was suspended.
but not strangled, and that, catching with
his head at sort of ledge or resting place
within the helmet, he had managed to
breathe and keep life existing up to the
moment when our two companions passed
by.
The latter liberated him, and transport
ed him to their own home. where he was
handed over to the nursing Of the mother
and her maiden daughter.
But he who has stolen will steal again.
In the peasants house there We're only
two things to steal; for the money he had
brought from La Poterie did not belong to
him. These two things were his horse
and his daughter, 4 fair haired girl of six
teen Years Of age,
he ex-hung criminal determined to
steal both; for he coveted the horse, and
was smittcn with g passion for the daugh-
ter.
One night therefore, he saddled the
morse, put on spurs in order to travel more
quickly, and seized the girl as she was
t4st asleep, to carry her off behind him.
bIt the girl woke up, and cried for help
lhe father and son came to her rescue
The thief tried to escape, but it was too
late. The daughter told them of the vio-
lent attempt that had been made; and her
father ant her brother seeing clearly that
no real repentance was to be expected from
such mar, resolved to take Justice into
their own hands, but more effectuallv than
the SeigneGr Of La Piroche had done.
They fastened the scoundrel to the horse
which he had sadded himself, conducted
him to the square Of La Piroche. and hung
him exactly where lie was hung before
but they took care to remove his helmet
and lay it on the ground, to make sure that
he should not escape this time; and they
quietly returned home.
As to the Seisneur Of La Piroche, since
he was in possession Of sure and certain
talisman, he joytully set out for the wars,
where be was the very first to get knocked

The Berkshire PIG.


1t has been created by skilful breeding
1n the part Of the English tanciers and has
been imported somewhat extensively into
this country The old Berkshire hog was
held in very high esteem for many years.
centuries perhaps. Itwas regarded as the
best pig in England, and was naturally
selected as the basis of the wonderful i'm
provements which have built up the repu-
tation of the modern Berkshire on such
basis Of intrinsic good qualities. 1t is no
doubt true that much of the Improvement
IS due TO the Chinese cross.
Sidney, a popular English writer on
swine, says: Among the black breeds,
by universal consent, the improved Berk-
shire hog stands at the head of the list,
either to breed pure, or to cross with in
lerior breeds The Berkshire was origi-
nally large breed of black and white
and spotted sandy color. The late Lord
Darlington, who died in 1929, did great
deal towards improving the Berkshire
breed and the improved Befkshires are
almost all traced back to his herd. They
are now considered by Berkshire farmers
to be divided into middle and a small
breed. II first class they should be cov-
cred with long black silky hair, so soft that
the problem OF making a silk purse out
ot sows ear might be solved with
prize Berkshire. The white should be
confined to -four white feet, white spot
between the eyes, and q few white hairs
behind each shoulder
