Remarkable Grass Farming.

The grass crop is one of the most i'm
portant crops and the most natural in our
husbandry, and yet its profit and possibili-
ties are hardly known even by men who
have fsrmed it all their days. A. T. Lilly,
silk manufacturer of Florence, has been il
vestigatipg the matter, and by experiments
on a tract of twelve acres has proved that
the capacity of gras land FOR production is
almost limitless. Last year, which was not
particularly favorable to grass, he says, he
cut sixteen tons of hay on two acres, and six
tons of hay per acre on ten acres, or seventy.
six tons in all. He does it by top dressing,
muck, horse-manure and ashes being the
chief Ingredients of his great composts. He
harrows and sows grass seed where the grass
is least productive, and gives special nurs.
ing to the weak spots. Some OF this land
had to be underdrained to begin with, but
it was not considered very promising field
by the former owners. Considerable of 1t
is moved three times. Timothy, red-top and
clover is the mixture Of seed used, but prob
ably greater variety would make better
hay and give just as large results. Mr..
Lilly sells hay and buys corn. lie makes a

common sort, and simply by judicious feed
ing astonished himself and his neighbors,

cut valley, and the scientific professors at
Amherst are beaten in one of the simplest
games of agriculture by an amateur. Mr..
Lilly renews his offer of 800, this year, for
the largest yield of hay per acre, and au-
thorizes the old HamI shire Agricultural So
ciety to make the awards with the hope
that somebody will be stimulated to be a
competitor. a.istics show that the aver
age yield of hay per acre is about ton, but
when the yield can be increased six and
eght-fold, the profit must be greater. The
same labor and expense applied to grass
that is usually applied to an acre of tobacco,
would give the farmer a satisfaction and a
prosperity that is scarcely dreamed Of

The Wild Man Of Camas.

The celebrated wild man of the Camas
prairie was killed recently by rome parties
travelling through the prairie. While the
travellers were encamped in the foot hills on
the edge Of the prairie one of them named
Micklehaney, went a few hundred yards
from camp to kill some ducks, taking with
him a shotgun loaded with large shot.
When only couple of hundred yards from
camp the "Wild Man Of Camas jumped
up from his hiding-place and after running
short distance, stopped and looked at
Micklehaney through his large, clear eyes
for moment, then, with shrek that
struck terror to the hunter and caused him
to shudder as the echo resounded through
the forest, the man with the ferccity of
savage beast of the jungle, made for Mickle-
haney so fiercely that in order to insure his
own safety he emptied both barrels of the
gun into him, when he fell, apparently
dead. Micklehaney went to him when the
strange being began to revive, and he put
his foot on the mans neck and called TO his
comrades to bring an ak, which they did
with all possible haste. The man escaped
just as they arrived, and, with a pitifll
moan, regained his feet and started to run.
The ak was thrown at him, and, as he
turned his head to look back, it struck him
in the center of the forehead and he dropped
lifeless to the ground. The finger and
toe nails were two inches long and re-
sembled claws more than nails. He was
wrapped in a long robe made of rabbit
skins. The skins were sewed together by
sinews. On examining the place from
which he made his appearance it was found
that he had very comfortable bed, which
was made of the soft bark of sage brush
1t was under an overhanging rock and well
protected from the wind. Near the bed
were two rabbits which had most likely
been killed by stones, About ten years ago
an insane stage-driver left Boise City and
has never since been heard OF. The "Wild
Man of Camas may be the same, having
taken up his abode in the then desolate
prairie, but seldom visited by white men.
The Wild Man of Camas has, since first
seen in 1873, been dreaded by the lonely
traveller and prospector, who will be relieved
10 know that he is dead.-Bellevue Sun.

Feeding Steers.

We surrender large portion of our space
this week to bulletin from the agricultural
college farm Of Missouri, upon feeding
steers, by Professor Sanborn of that college.
Il will be seen that Professor Sanborn L.
justifying by excellent work, the high es.
TEEN in which he was held by his New
England friends.
Five sets of three steers each, were fed to
answer the following questions The value
OF corn fodder, or straw, compared with
tive value Of whole corn against corn meal (,
and the value of rogenous.concentrated d
food when fed with carbonaceous foods like
straw and corn fodder against a concentrated
carbonaceous food like corn meal with straw
and corn fodder. These experiments were
tried because the questions are now before
us, shall Missouri invest many millions in
barns for shelter of stock shall she expend
annually enormous sums for grinding corn ?
is corn the best food to feed with our
"roughness " The state grew last year
s 000,0 900 tons of corn fodder and nearly
100000 of straw, over one-half of which
has not been consumed, but wasted, repre-
senting LOSE, that in some sections of the
country, where cattle are no higher would
be rated at least S75 per ton, which carries
the loss here Of food-value high in the mil
lions. Can it be well utilized These trials
are but the first steps of years of intended
investigation of these points and are not
given as conclusive, but as evidence and as
part of coming work. They are not in
tended to, or expected to show rapid gains
or cheap growth. They are relative trials,
and as such the animals were confined to
one or two foods, ard moderate growth was
the result. A comparative experiment
without growth may be valuable because
the greater proportion of food given is the
food of support, as | find that steer that
weighs 1000 pounds will consume Is pounds
without gain on less food he losses weight,
on even pound more he gains. The use
of small numbers in this experiment work,
was unavoidable. Such trials if well con-
