LATE EXPERIMENTS.

| Experience With Grasses at the Kansas
| State Agricultural College.
| Prof. E. NJ. Shelton, of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, reports that
h S experience with orchard grass indi-
Gates that larger yields of pasture and
hay are obtained from given area of
ground when it is allowed to have its
own way. unchecked by crowd.ng; and
that it is mistaken practice to SOW very
thickly in order to counteract the ten
dency to grow in tuSsocks. About a
| bushel and half of seed are therefore
enough for an acre. He has obtained
excellent results by adding to this
quantity of seed three quarts of red
| clover seed, both growing we'll togeth-
er. He finds no amount of tramping
| or close grazing at any season to inju
well-rooted orchard grass sod. 1t is
one of the earliest grasses to start in
the spring and the latest to succumb to
frost in autumn. He remarks that lu-
cerne should not be pastured or mown
during the first season. as it makes
feeble growth at first, but it is a good
practice to run the mower occasionally
over the surface high enough to miss
the lucerne and cut off the tops of the
weeds; after this it will take care of
itself and of all the weeds within
its reach. Prof. S. thinks
it the most valuable for Kansas. Irriga-
ton makes 1T Invaluable. Very close
grazing late in atltumn is apt to be fatal
to it. In answer to the inquiry as to the
relative merits,ef red clover and lucerne,
he remarks that while clover yields hard
" more than one-half the hay or pas
turage afforded by lueerne, yet in point
of quality lucerne is greatly inferior. The
stalks are nearly solid and quite woody,
and there is much waste IN feeding the
hay. Speaking of the Texas bluegrass
(ior araclWfera) Prof. Shelton re-
marks that it is of u much coarser habit
than the common bluegrass, that it will
Withstand the climate of Kansas, but he
does not know ''that it can be propa-
gated from seed at ALL We have plants

years growth; the upper leaves were
rendered brown by the last severe win
ter. 1t forms dense sod, but has
shown no tendency to throw up seed
stalks. Our winters at the North are
probably rather severe for its best sue
cess" Prof. S. strongly recommends
sowing grass seed alone. after gener-
Gus preparation of the soil; holding that
when sown with grain the grass oper-
ates as w eed on the grain, and the
grain IS weed to the grass. and that
after the young grass has been retarded
and dwarfed by the grain, it suffers
mole from Imid summer heat when the
grain is cut, than with a strong early
growth, with no other plants to rob the
soil of moisture. Ohio Farmer.

The Inventor of Terrible Homicfda
Machine Preaching Peace and Love.
[Chicago Inter-Ocean.I
There is a vacant lot upon North State
street that is used by night for wagon
yard and by day as playground for
youngsters who can hardly be called
gamins, but whose manners frequently
verge on the gaminesque. Fights are
numerous enough to make it interesting
for the people of the neighborhood, and
when on are waged with fire AMI vigor
rarely seen outside church choir.
One day the tocsin of war was sounded
at the height of a game of duck Oh the
rock. The boy who was minding the
duck rushed on the boy who had just fired
a half brick, in a violent state of anger,
superinduced by an abraded shin or some
trif1e of that sort. The combatan is
got affairs down to a war footing without
the formality of choosing seconds and
referee, and did their best to disfgure
each other for life. The fight was right
merrily raging VIII en- it attracted the at
tention of kind hearted, benevolent
looking old gentleman, who bore down on
the yelling gang with an inexpressibly
shocked countenance. He crowded his
way to the center, grabbed the boys and
held them apart. He then read them
HON lily on the evils of fighting, and the
disgrace of trying to harm each other. 1t
was long and impressive. He even went
so far as to drag in that poetic gem that
commences, "Birds in their little nests
agree" and the sentiment also, that only
dogs delight to bark and prepare them.

their nature to.
"My young friends" he concluded, "you
should learn to love each other and play in
peace and harmony together. He who
lifts his hand against another will come to
no good end. It was never intended that
one person should harm another. You
should live at peace with your play.
mates and the whole world"
If as appearances seem to indicate the
old gentleman who preached peace on
earth and goodwill to men was a delegate
to ministerial convention there would
be nothing worthy of remark in his senti-
ments, but he was not. He was DR.. Cat
ling, who had given to the world the most
fiendish and devilish homicidal machine
ever used in civil warfare-the Calling
gun. 1t is sometimes interesting to get at
the true inwardn- ss of such mans views
of love, white winged peace, the olive
branch and similar things.

"Reminiscences of q Visit TO the Monastery
of La Grande Chartreuse.
Temple Bar.l
Accustomed as the Monastery of the
Grande Chatreuse Is to receive the visits
of strangers, there are some times as many
rs two hundred in single evening during
the summer. I had no need to say uEon
what errand 1 had come, and I was at
once conducted by the ''frere- portier"-to
give him his proper title-to the reception
room, where another lay brother took me
in charge and told me that was welcome
to the monastery, but that the dura ton of
the visit was always limited to forty
eight hours. AS was not intending to
remain m ore than one night, this regula-
ton did not in any way effect me, and the
long drive had given me such an appetite,
that / was not sorry to hear that supper
was about to be served. The little lug
gage which 1 had brought with mo had
already been taken to the cell which was
assigned to me, though "cell" is in truth
rather a unloading name to give to
what is in reality a very passable bed
room. There was no carpet on the floor, it
is true; but when one has travelled much,
one learns to regard carpets RS luxuries
which can easily be dispensed with, and
in other respects the rooms provided for
visitors contain every accommodation
which one requires. Looking round it as
/ washed my hands before going down to
supper, 1 found that it contained a good
bedstead. a large table and an ample cup
board, inside which the y-brother who
escorted me showed ms some plates con-
tanning biscuits, apples and raisins, to-
gether with bottles Of yellow and green
Oh artreuse, which, he added, "are at your
disposal, should you feel faint during the
night" One thing the bed broom did not
contain, this being a looking glass; and
found that none of them are to be seen in
the monastery, because they are supposed
to minister toward vanity. But looking
glass, like carpet, is not Indispensable
to comfort, especially when one has
reached an age at which regard for out
ward appearances should be waning, and
went down to supper with the feeling
that my lines were cast In pleasant
places,

THE BEES STING.
Its Most Important Function Said to Be
the Finishing OF of the Cells.

Its Most Important Function Said to Be
the Finishing OF of the Cells.
A new champion has arisen to defend
the honeybee from the obloquy under
which it has always rested. Mr.. Will
lirm +. Clarke. of Canada, claims to
have discovered from repeated observa-
tions that the most important function
of the bees sting is not singing.
In a recent article he says: My obser-
vations and reflections have convinced
me that the most important Office of
the bee sting is that which is performed
in doing the artistic cel-work, Gaping
the comb and infusing the formic acid
by means of which honey receives its
keeping qualities. As said at Detroit.
the sting is really askillfully oontrived
little trowel with which the bee finishes
off and caps the cells when they are
filled brimful of honey. This explains
why honey extracted before it is capped
over does not keep well. The formic
acid has not been injected into it.
This is done in the very act of putting
the last touches on the cell-work. AS
the little plant trowel is worked to
and fro with such dexterity, the darts,
of which there are two, pierce
the plastic cell surface and leave
in the nectar beneath 1T tiny
drops of the fluid which makes 1T keep
we'll. This is the ''art preventative"
of honey. A most wonderful provi-
sion of nature, truly! Herein we see
that the sting and poison bag with
which 80 many of US would Like to dis
pense, are essential to the storage of
our coveted product, and that without
them the beautiful comb honey of COM
merce would be a thing unknown.
If these things are so, how mistaken
those people are who suppose that
bee is, like the Prince of Evil, always
going about providing IN search of
victimi The fact is, that the bee at
tends to ats business very diligently,
and has NC time to waste in picking
unnecessary ,quarrels. A bee is like
farmer working with fork in his hay
field. He is fully occupied and very
busy. If molested or meddled with.
he will be very apt to defend himself
with the implement he is working with.
This is what the bee does, and man, by
means of his knowledge of the nature
and habits of this wondrous little in
sect, is enabled, in most cases, to ward
off or evade attack. 1t is proof of their
natural quietness. industry and peace
