This grass is therefore of special in
terest because it is one of the few
plants belonging to the grass family
which have deleterious properties. Re-
lated species of this grass and its
varieties are considered very valuable
forage plants in Europe, especially the
Italian rye grass (Lolium perenne, our
Italicum). An English authority says
that by proper management the first
crop may be cut in April and three
more cuttings of after grass during the
season. Neither of the grasses have
proved very successful in the west.
The climate does not seem to be
adapted to them. Excessive rains in
the south du ring hot weather causes it
to rot. Prof. Phares SAYS "destroying
even the roots 1t requires calcareous
loans and marls and loamy sand. Such
soils when manured give big yield.
The perennial rye grass Uolium per-
enne) illustrated herewith, has been
cultivated for more than two hundred
years in England and in that moist,
cool climate is an excellent grass, but
for our country the Italian is more
valuable, vet it is doubtful whether
generally so. Prof. Tracy, of Missis-
sippi, states that the rye grasses have
proved worthless for that state. ''They
start readily from seed sown either in
spring Or autumn, and make vigorous
growth until warm weather comes, after
which they dwindle and disappear COM

This winter ladies who take pleasure
in entertaining will dispense their hos

which have this advantage that they
serve to display the beauty of table

luncheons the gentlemen are con-

which prompts the hostess to make the
affair dainty, delicate and particularly
feminine-an arrangement in pink or a

After the states case rested in the
trial of Thomas McCran for maintain

place in Little Falls township, several
witnesses on behalf of the defense
testified that they lived near the estab-
lishment and did not smell anything
that would cause them sickness. The
case went over until the other morning,
when James Feeney, John Gallagher
and others testified that the smell was
not SO offensive.
Thomas NcCran, the defendant, was
sworn on his own behalf He said he
had been in the fat business for the
past Is years; eight years of that time
at his present location. His business
was to collect the bones and meat from

of which were entirely fresh. These
were boiled, and the smell that
emanated was the same that would
arise from the boiling of corned beef.

Before planting the seed potatoes they
are soaked for about twenty-four hours
in mixture composed of saltpetre and

are allowed to drain, and they then
stand for tyventy-four hours longer, in
