A bulletin of the South Dakota ex-

most common in the eastern part. It
Is largely replaced In the western part

either porcupine grass or feather bunch
grass by its shorter leaves and loose,
open panicle, the lower part of which

needle grass give good yields of hay OF

of these grasses sometimes injure
stock, they should not be cut until
after the fruits have fallen, which
usually occurs In time for llaymaking.
When these grasses occur in pastures
or ranges in sufficient quantities to be
dangerous, they should be kept from

thiclzen the milk. Add four tablespoon
fuls of granulated sugar, cook until a
smooth, thick paste, then flavor with q
teaspoonful of rosewater and two tn BILE
spoonfuls o: chopped nuts. Use almonds,
English walnuts, or the two nuts mixed.
Pour on a fat dish and sprinkle with

Age at Which to Plant Trees.

The age at which trees should be
bought must be governed by circuu-
stances and by variety. There is a
general tendency to buy trees too old
rather than too young. When vari-
cites are new and scarce. it may be
economy to buy young stock. Some of
the freer-growing apples and pears are
large enough when two years old if
grown from buds; but these fruits are
usually set at three years from the
bud or graft. Dwarf pears may be set
at two or three years, preferably l
think, the former age. Ounces are
set at two and three years Peaches
are always set at one year from the
bud.-Prof. L. II. Bailey, in Bulle-
tin GO.

Mountain Goats Arc stupid.

Although the mountain goat is a very
sure-footed and level-headed animal,
he is said by those who have hunted
him (of whom confess I am not one)
to be a very stupid animal and easily
killed when once the hunter reaches
his haunts. In actual weight he is
about the size Of the Virginia deer, but
in bulk he seems to be larger because
of his shaggy fleece of wool and hair.
The horns are small. smooth and Jet
black, and the hoof is a strange COM
