A Victory for the Chicago and Alton Rail-

CHICAGO, July 3o.-The Chicago and
Grand Trunk Railway of Canada to-day
lifted the boycott against the Chicago and
Alton road. This is believed by some to be
the beginning of the end. The success of
the Alton in securing the Grand Army busi-
ness for itself and Wabash road brought
about this result. 1t is said that in many
parts of the West ticket agents have banded
themselves into sort of secret society for
the purpose of fighting the enemies and fav-
oring the friends of the Alton. The predic-
tion is made that not few Of the Eastern
lines will promptly accept the opportunity
afforded by the Grand Trunk to abrogate

A WORD ABOUT GRASS.
How 1t Has Been Neglected and Sugges-
tions About Its Cultivation.

How 1t Has Been Neglected and Sugges-
lions About Its Cultivation.
Notwithstanding the fact that grass
is the most important crop in this Sec
ton of the country, too many of our
farmers go right on in the old way
which wasadopted when clover and the
fine grasses would grow anywhere, and
a large part of the labor of farming
was in keeping them down so that
other crops could grow. The gradual
exhaustion of the soil, says the Man
chester Union, has affected the grass
crop as much as any other, and even
more, for pastures have been cropped
for generations with little return, and
much that has been taken from them
has gone to other fields. The soil
needs more feeding than formerly for
either crops, and this has led people to
neglect the grass crop still more, when
it should have received more attention.
Our changed system of farming, which
includes dairying as prominent fea-
ture, calls for forage crops largely, and
whatever is selected for a main crop
should receive proper care and nour-
ishment. We can no longer raise pay
ing crops of hay on soil that is lightly
MANFRED for potatoes and corn and then
feeds grain crop, leaving the grass to
take what is left We must apply
manure for good crop of grass rs
for corn or grain. There has been
great loss sustained by farmers from
putting the bulk of their manure on
the cornfield causing rank growth OF
fodder which was two-thirds wasted by
improper and careless handling and
feeding out, and then growing grain
on the remaining fertility and letting
it ripen SO that the straw was useless
for stock food, and then going through
the ceremony of haying on land thai
only produced half crop. In this
way large portion of the forage pro
ducing power of the soil is lost.
