VALUABLE EXPERIMENT.

Winfield Daily Courier
Last winter a year ago Judge j.
Wade Mcdonald seeded about twelve
acres of prairie in the bottom of his
Liberty township cattle ranch, in Ken
lucky blue grass. He fed his large
herd on this ground during that win
ter. feeding mostly corn fodder. Last
summer but a few speers of the blue
grass appeared here and there, and
the prairie grass had mostly been
tramped out. The past winter he
again fed his stock on this land,
expecting, of course, that his eX-
pertinent was no go. In February
last the cattle were removed. The
Judge hadn't been on the ground
since, till last Sunday when, to his
astonishmcnt he found twelve acres of
beautiful. luXurant and uicely-matted
blue grass. This experiment means
that blue grass should be well pas
turcd. and that when sown on prairie
and thoroughly pastured, the prairie
grass is tramped ont and the. blue
grass properly set This result can
also he verified by others who have
tried it, The idea that ground before
receiving blue grass seed should be
thoroughly cultivated is yearly shown

RAPID SPEAKERS

New York sun.
The three most yoluablc senators,
Beck, Morgan and Plumb, neither
write nor specially prepare their
speeches, excepting To gather the facts.
None of these three, however, make
any claim to the possession of oratori-
cal powers, though each Is singular in
one respect. Mr. Plumb is the most
rapid speaker who has been in the
senate for many years. He and Scna-
tor Beck are the only men who
ever taxed Mr.. Murphy's power as n
stenographer TO the fullest, and many
many think Mr.. Murphy is the most
rapid stcnographer in the world. Mr..
Plumb's words are emitted with ter
rifle speed, He sometimes utters a
nanv as go minute. Mr.. Beck.
while scarcely less rapid, speaks less
clearly than Mr.. Plumb. so that his
words sound just a the posts of n
Virginia fence look to a man sitting at
the window Of a lightning express.
Mr.. MOrgan's speech j. rapid,
flows a continuously a. Il
running brook. and much the same
pleasantly bubblins sound. He never
prepares or revises his speeches. They
appear ia the Record precisely as he
delivers them, and yet Mr.. Murphy
says that he never yet has found i"
them an error of grammar of dicilon,
and that as specimens of pure. classic
English. that are uneXcelled by the
speeches of any senator. Mr.. Bavard
does not read his speeches, BIT, with
these exceptions, almost all others do.

For the life of IA we can't see what

kicking? There is no denying the fact
that il is sold and drank with the ut

ing we have been looking over the
figures of the returns made by the
drug stores of a number of towns i'll
the state. The legislature ought to
have made provision for the publica-
ton of these returns. In one little
town we notice that for the last twelve
days of March upwards of 900 applica-
tions were filed with the probate
Judge, each application representing as
much rs pint of whisky or bottle
of beer or at the rate of seventy-iiye
bottles per day. The result in larger
towns can be easily imagined. One

called can be suffering for want of
whisky. In view of these statistical
facts can't the aforesaid kickers be in

Snow ia the Mountains

Saturday says: About two and a
half feet Of snow has fallen at the
Summit, on the Central Pacific
Railroad. If the recent great storm
had all been snow, we would prob
ably have ten feet of snow at this
place. The snow fall is regarded
as an important factor by the mill
men and the wood contractors as
the melting snow affords large
quantities of water during the
working season, and is conducted in
fumes and sideways and used in
conveying the vast amounts of
wood and lumber manufactured
here from the tracts of timber and
in this vicinity.
