OUR GRASSES.

The Farmers Book of Grasses, by
Prof. d. L. Phares, of Mississippi, A.
& NJ. College, enumerates 29O species
of grasses and other foliage plants in
the Southern States, their culture,
feeding value, etc. The South has
endless and inexaustable treasures in
her grasses and foliage plants of nu-
merous kinds, and yet her farmers do
not appreciate them, but labor with
much more energy to destroy them in
their cotton fields than they do to
profit by them as food for stock. The
prosperity of the South must come
chiefly from her grasses, from breed
ing stock, from mixed industry and
intensive farmlng.-Colonel Dermitt
