Il has been proposed that all seeds,

experiment stations in tho several states
and territories. to be by them rodistrib-

Aforesaid and to pay the expenses Of

the needs Of their respective localities.
In cooperation with the United States
department Of agriculture the stations
can easily ascertain what new aud rare
varieties are available and can select
such kinds of seed as will be most like

localities. They will bo able to engage
the services of competent farmers, who
will make full tests OF the seed under

Tho Iowa Homestead draws these con-
illusions from an experience with new
sown clover in drought year: l. That
in spring sowing on light soil and in
q dry season deep covering is essential.
2. That in dry season stand of clover
among apparently heavy oats is i'm
periled, provided the oats are removed in
hot, dry time. 8. That in dry season
it is quite possible to OBTAIN a stand of

Do You Speak COrrectly7

Some of the grRvest errors In
speech are those in which common
usage differs from all authority;
that is, they are words upon which
the photographers have always
agreed. There is no such words as
copyum (column) and Of ftu'' (often)
in the English language: they are,
kopum and of'en. Many words are
incorrectly pronounced from care
lessness in noticing which syllable
has the accent mark: thus, Gl-lop'-
a-thy il mispronounced apto-path-y.
Abdomen, abdomen; re.cess', re-
cess. There is the the same distinc-
ton between the noun rise and the
verb rise, as between the noun use
and the verb use; the nouns in both
cases having the sibilant 5, and the
verbs the soft, sound. Yet you
never hear people talking about the
fuse" of thing, though ten out Of
twelve sreuk of the "rise" In stocks!
Remember always, that the noun
rise is pronounced exactly like the
grain rice.
The criticism most frequently
made by our English cousins Is that
Americans flatten, or broaden, the
vowels; hut, while not excusing our
own faults, we may be Pardoned II
we retort that we don't bid people
"Good mor'nin'," nor talk about
"pudden'" (pudding) and 'singin'"
and "figgers," either of waxwork or
those used in arithmetic. Return
ing, however, to American mis-
takes: Why do not the people who
say davg, also talk about haW0s and

with hog and frog; and the o in God

buffalo grass, where the latter has been
crowded ont.
The buffalo grass Is rapidly being
crowded out Of the soil, like the animals
after which II was named, and in the
course Of another half century it will
nearly have disappeared, unless .some-
thing is done to check its destruction.
1t will thrive OIL soils that are too dry
for blue stom. This gross is too short
for hay. and will only be useful for green
manuring and for pasturing. The mes.

prairie grass that has kept millions Of
cattle from starving in the past when
the winters wero severe. Nature cures
this grass. Frost cures IL on the ground,

all winter. The grass produces round
spikelets one foot high, with tops we'll
loaded with oily seeds. These seeds are
very fattening and nutritious. At the
base of each tuft IL q mass of fine fiat
leaves.
These three grasses have in the past
supported the immense herds Of wild
and tame cattle in the west, and even
today millions of acres of rich land are
covered with one or the other. But in
many places they have totally disap-
peared, and coarse, worthless weeds have
taken their places. From experiments
made in the past it has been demon.
strated that with little proper atten.
tion wonderful results can be obtained
from these grasses in any part of the
country. Their rank, luxuriant and yet
nutritious growths must in the future
be better appreciated. In some respects
they are greatly superior to many Of the
cultivated grasses In parts Of the east
they have been introduced with good re-.
suits, and with little study as to their
needs and requirements they can be
made more generally valuable than they
are today, writes q correspondent Of
