1t is the prevailing opinion that the

result in renewed activity in the bus

through the west, the pioneer spirit
prevails and some Of the old settlers,
as they see the evidences of civilization
springing up around them, yearn for
the adventures and trials of the from.

frequent opportunities are afforded to
purchase cultivated farms at figures
not much above the value of wild land

Especial advantages are offered here
for stock farming. Horses, Cattle,
Sheep aud Hogs are remarkably free
from liability to disease The natural
pasture is luxurious and almost every
quarter section will furnish sufficient
amount OF wild hay for ordinary farm
use. In fact, there is almost no tame
hay grown yet. There are thousands
Of tons, surplus, of wild hay and many
cattle have no other feed than the nat
ural pasture in Summer and hay in
winter.

As trading point it furnishes all the
advantages that can be obtained out

The. Virtues. OF Red-I'op.

Prof. Welcl, agricultural editor OF
the Chicago Tunes, points ouf some Of
the weak points of herd grass or tim
othy, and then proceeds to compare
with 1t the red top, thus:
''Red-top is .the reverse Of timothy
in almost every essential particular. 1t
comes into the soil easily, and goes
out hard, 1t seems to be Us naturally
adapted 10 our soil as the native grass
es oi the prairie. 1t is very .euacio Is
Of life, enduring heat aud cold, drouth
AID food 1t forms a 6rm, compact
sod, uuinjured by the feet Of animals,
or the flow Of water. It produces II
succession Of rich foliage, from early
spring to late autumn. 1t will bear
close cropping and not suffer from the
effects OF it. 1t occupies the whole Of
the ground, leaving little chance for
weeds to grow. 1t spreads from the
roots, and therefore does not require
to be rc.seeded every few years as in
the case Of timothy.
Rcd-top is admirably adapted to
Withstand heat aud cold. Its roots arc
spreading, 60 they take firm hold of
the soil. 1t produces foliage i,nme.
diatelySou the surface Of the ground,
50 that the roots are protected from
the heat Of the sun aud the cold of
winter. They also serve ~ a sort Of
mulch, which prevents injury in time
Of severe aud long continued dryress.
There is little danger of cutting red.
top too close to the groun I, as it
springs up Immediately when pared to
the very surface Of the soil. When
the late frosts bite the leaves Of red
top, they lie close over the roots, and
afford protection during the winter.
Ked:top, when green, is not the
equal Of b.ue grass, and when dry, is
not the equal Of some sorts Of hay.
But in either case, it is above the av.
erage of our wild or cultivated grasses.
UnIess it grows unusually rank, is in
jured in curing, or cut when too ripe,
it j. relished BY al kinds of stock, aud
is eaten very clean. Uuless pains are
taken in curing and stacking it, there
is danger Of its becoming musty. On
rich lands il may usually be mown
twice in season, aud the second crop
will make excellent food for young cat
tie. % rich pasture lands it is we'll
to NOV it after it goes to seed, as by
80 doing, fine crop Of foliage imme.
diateiy springs up after the scythe.
Red-top does best on rather cold,
moist soils, and may be grown with
the best economy on lands that will
not produce good crops Of corn, grain
and potatoss,ia ordinary seasons. Un.
drained meadows, where timothy and
other grasses do not flourish we'll, will
produce good crops Of red.top.
