Prairie or Timothy Hay.

The Minnesota experiment station
has been conducting some experiments
to ascertain the value of prairie hay
compared with timothy. The cows
fed on prairie hay, grain and ensilage,
produced during the experiment 2, $50. 3
pounds of milk containing 1907
pounds of butter fat. The cows fed
on timothy produced 2. 547.3 pounds of
milk containing 1871 pounds of but
ter fat. The difference was 80 pounds
of milk in favor OF prairie hay, and 81
of q pound of butter fat in favor OF
timothy. The two were therefore
shown about equal in feeding value,
but the price on the market
for timothy was $5.7O per ton
and of prairie hay, 1920 per ton.
The general summary for their ex.
periments was as follows:
First. AS between early cut and
well cured timothy hay and well cured
upland prairie hay, cows preferred the
prairie hay.
Second. Prairie hay was at least
equal to timothy for the production of
milk and butter.
Third. At the present price of the
two kinds OF hay, milk was produced
at 10 per cent less cost, and butter fat
~ per cent less cost When prairie hay
was fed.
Fourth. With dairy cows fresh in
milk in the fall or early winter, COM
fortbaly housed, well and regularly fed
and MIXED, there will be little if any
shrinkage in the flow of milk and yield
of butter fat during the winter
months. -

South Dakota bulletin No. 40: The
scientific name of this plant is Setaria
Viridis. Stem erect, from an annual
root, usually unbranched, one and
one half to three feet high; leaves fiat,
pointed, rough, flowers in spikes which
are two to five inches long, green, more
or less pointed both above and below;
bustles longer than the spikelets, "a about
four to eight in a cluster; towering
glume longitudinally striate and
dotted. 1t is an introduced weedy grass

+ shes nutritious hay, but the
y I'd is much lighter than millet, and
the plant is difficult to destroy when
once well established in field. On
the whole it is not worthy of cultiva-
ton, and should be regarded as a bad
weed. 1t can usually be distinguished
from other species of the genus by it's
green, soft, bristly nodding spikes or
heads. Besides the common name
given above, this grass is known as
"bottle grass" ''pigeon grass" and
''pus grass" One specimen analysed

VALUE OF SwAMPs.-What is called
''peat" in Europe, and ''muck" in
America, is the result of an imperfect
decomposition of vegetable matter,
such as marsh plants, leaves, sticks,
roots, etc. that have been covered most
of the time with stagnant water Here
at the north we find such mucky depos-
It's quite common. Often they cover
large areas, miles in extent. l have
always looked upon muck swamp as
3 valuable adjunct to farm, and
feel that it is not always appreciated
according to its merits. In most cases
there is a way to let off the surface
water. If ditching has to be done,
there are always days during fall or
winter for such work, when other
work is not pressing; and even if it in
wolves considerable expense, it will pay
IN more than one way. 1 like to work
nuclxy soils after they have been thor
oughly reclaimed. 1t is satisfactory
soil to work, and we'll suited to many
Of our most profitable garden crops,
especially onions and celery, and often
early potatoes. Indeed, it is fun to
work such loose soil which offers SO
little resistance to tools or fingers.
Vegetables always grow smooth, regu-
ar and clean in muck land, as their
growth finds no mechanical impede
nent.

soil and check the growth Of weeds
Frequent cultivation Mt this time is
advocated, as the stirring helps accel-
crate the growth of tho plants, and
sets back the weeds. The latter must
not get the upper hand even for lit
tie season. The plants should be al
lowed to get growth of four or five
inches before being Trimmed. In drill
culture the stalks should be left three
or four inches apart. The work of
thinning is very hard, but it is a work
that gives good results. 1t should
never be planted near sorghum or
Chinese sugar cane, if the seed is to be
preserved, as the varieties will mix.
HARVESTING.
Time of harvesting will depend on
the object-brush or seed. OF course,
If seed is desired, harvest must be de-
layed till the seed has matured. Other
wise the work may begin as soon as
the blossoms begin to fall. The quail
1ty OF the brush is better at this period
than later. It's color will be greenish,
and the fiber will be tough. Harvest
should always be before frost comes.
CURING.
When only small quantities are
grown, broom corn may be Gu ed in
barns or shed lofts, where it is ,read
out thinly, not exposed to rain or
moisture. Where large quantities are
produced special buildings are neces-
sary, where the crop y be spread
out thin on numerous The racks
should be from ten inches
apart, so as to allo circulation
of air.

a subject, and is disinclined to speak
of the matter. The lady, whoever she
may be, who consents to wed the mi
lSado's heir, will Rave the satisfaction
of allying hersel with family whose
genealogical claims are the proudest
in the world. An ancestry of lew
beggarly centuries pales into in .gnifi-
canoe when contrasted with line OF
descent which is asserted to run back
t the twilight of the gods. The mi
a himself, no doubt, is too much en-
ligntened, too completely in touch with
the current of modern ideas to share
the belief held by hundreds Of thou
sands of his subjects that divine blood
courses through his veins. But, wheth-
er he believes in this or not, the ruler of
Japan can at least point to genealogic-
al tree which entities him to boast
Of possessing the "bluest" blood on
earth. His imperial majesty is the 123d
emperor of Japan. The Japanese have
their history and their mythology, and
the present emperor comes from Jimmu
Tenno, who was the first mikado, and
ruled Japan geo years before Christ
was born-2,554 years ago. This man
was descendant of the sun goddess,
and Mutsuhito, the present emperor,
traces his descent directly from him.
Japanese history gives the story Of
each of the leg emperors between the
two, and if you will think moment
you will see how far back 600 B. G. is.
1t was before Rome had become an
empire. England was unknown even
to the Romans, and hundreds of years
were yet to elapse before Caesar pene-
trated Gaul. Such is the ancient line
age claimed by the present emperor
Of Japan. If antiquity of descent
counts for anything more aristo-
cratic father-in-law surely could not
be desired.
The young prince, for whom it is
said a western bride is being sought,
will be some years younger than his
consort. He was born on Aug. 81,
1879, and is therefore only in his 10th
year. But in the east boys and girls
become men and women more rapidly
than in the west. The mikado him
self succeeded his father at Is and
married before he was II. The prince,
his son, will attain his majority this
year, and no doubt his marriage will
follow as soon as circumstances will
permit. The crown prince, who was
proclaimed heir to the throne in Novem-
Der, 1882 is naturally as yet compare
lively unknown to the great outside
wo rid, but all that has TRANSFERRED
respecting him goes to show that he is
bright, pleasant and attractive
young fellow. He has a strong taste
for military affairs, is enthusiastic
about his country's modern army, in
which he holds a commission, and
wears an officers uniform. He carries
himself with an erect and dignifed
carriage and is somewhat reserved.
He is, however, not too dignified to be
devoted to boat racing and other forms
Of outdoor sport. He was educated at
