SEDGE GRASS.
A Tennessee Farmer Tells How He Deals
with 1t.

A Tennessee Farmer Tells How He Deals
With 1t.
The following paper was read on this
subject by Paul T.. Kefauver before the
East Tennessee Farmers convention at
Knoxville:
Sedge grass needs no introduction;
you know it. 1t is presumption to try
to tell you anything about it. Never
theless, have found few points that
will bear attention. We decided that
the shale lands should be made perma-
nent pastures A great amount of
grass seed was used up and ten years
were wasted in the conflict But
sedge grass was victorious. You say
that is nothing new. No, it isn't;
but here is the other string to the
bow. We have found a way to
make it go with Japan clover and
wild grass. But how shall we hasten
its exit? Let it alone 1t will run it,
self out. When it decays it mulches
the blue grass and clover, but it is
death to its succeeding kin.
bOu uurH bllc ocuBc BTuSb' L MS
converts the ash from poison to a
benefit TO other sedge grass. Sedge
grass is natures effort to restore the
land. 1t plays the part Of mulch to
weaker herbs. ''
Don't pillow sedge grass up. III re-
CARDS such proceeding as direct en-
couragement. If they did not, they
would lie in the ground for year
without rotting, and would thus him
der the growth of other things, and
keep the land too dry.
Seed your red lands to Japan
clover and blue grass. If it is already
in sedge grass, SOW it any way and
crop the sedge If too high. Then cul'
tivate the sedge; don't fight it. Use il
for all it is worth as pasture. This is
the only way to destroy it. Nature
helps one If he does not combat her.
"Red top grass is one of the best
sedge destroyers. 1t is an excellent
turf former. You will not injure it by
pasturing off the sedge at the same
time. If you use sedge grass properly
and foster it rather than fight it, you
will find it to be one of your besi
friends"

1t would be good plan to sell of
all the runts and razorbacks on the
farm for just what they will bring,
and spend the proceeds in the pur.
chase of a smaller number of improved
pigs.
The wonderful pea, which the
southern experiment stations regard
as the best variety grown, is without
doubt the Unknown pea. 1t is a most
valuable crop for soil fertilization, as
well as for ensilage purposes
Irrigation is destined to revolu-
tionize agriculture in the west and
southwest. There is water enough
in the ground and on it to make crops
absolutely sure and increases their
yields wonderfully. The problem is
to get the water on the land.
The best dairy COW is the one that
will make butter at the least cost per
pound for food and care. She is not
necessarily of any breed; she may be
of no breed atall, or she may be thor
oughbred. In estimating the cost Of
producing butter, care must be taken
into consideration as well as fed.

work still more perfectly.
One of the best preventives of egg

Recovered.
(From the Springfield, Mass Uaion)
There isn't gun manufacturer In tho
United States who does not know jefferson
M. Clough, and whyl Because he has been
intimately associated all his life with the
development OF the two best American
rifles, tho Remington and Winchester. For
years he was superintendent Of the Il. Rem
ington & Sons great factory at Ilion, N Y.
After leaving there he refused tempting
offer Of the Chinese Government to go to
China TO superintend their government fac
tories-and accepted Instead the superin-
tendency Of the Winchester-Arms Co., at
New Haven, at a salary of $3.50 year
1t was after this long term of active labor
as . business man that he found himself in
capacitated for further service by the EN-
barge which rheumatism had laid upon him
and resigned his position more than two
years ago, and returned to Belchertown,
Mass, where he now lives and owns the
Phelps farm, retired spot where he has
five hundred acres Of land.
Being a man of means he did not spare
the cost and was treated by leading physi-
clans and by baths at celebrated springs
without receiving any benefit worth notice.
During the summer of 1893 and the winter
of 1894 Mr.. Clough was confined toh his house
In Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffering
continually with acute pains and with no
taste or desire for food, nor was he able to
obtain sufficient sleep.
Early In the year 1894 Mr. Clough heard
| of Or. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
He began taking these pills about the first
| OF March 1894 aud continued to do so until
the first part of September following. The
| first effect noticed wasa better appetite and
he began to note more ability to help him
self off the bed and to he better generally
Last August 1884 he was able to go alone
to his summer residence and farm of 1863
acres on Grenadier Island, among the
Thousand Islands, in the river st. Law
renee, where from the highest land of his
farm he commands view for ID miles
down the river, and 10 of the Thousand
Islands can be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed Mr..
| Clough Is now and has been for some time
able to DO about the farm to direct the men
employed there and he is thankful for what
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have done for him.
These pills are manufactured by the Dr..
Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
n. Y, and are sold only in boxes bearing
the firms trade mark and wrapper at 30
cents box or six boxes for $3.50, and are
never sold in bulk. They may be had Of all
druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Will
liamS' Medicine Company.

1t Grows More Popular as Its Advantages
Are Realized.
No longer does the farmer sneer at
,he new methods advocated by the
"bool- farmers" He has learned that
the enterprising grower is every ready
to adopt sensible ideas, even if new or
evolved from the columns of paper.
He has learned that it is the enter
prising granger who realizes a fair
profit from his labor, while he himself
produces just enough to live upon.
He yet adheres to the maxim: expert
ence is good teacher" Only he pre-
fers to let some one else do the expert
menting, while he profits by the re-
suits. Even now, l greatly doubt il
the efforts of few unselfsh
growers, in behalf OF the farmers OF
this country are justly appreciated;
while three years back it would
have been impossible to draw COM
parison. The farmers institutes, held
annually in each county of some states,
| have done much to broaden the views
Of the farming class.
The farmer is just beginning to ap
preciate what is being done for him.
The agricultural papers contain annu'
ally information worth ten times the
| subscription price-information which
probably cost the author of the expert
ment much inconvenience and consid
cradle labor and money. ] do not be
lieve that Messrs. Terry, Green, Allen
| Greiner and other writer's of the agri
cultural press are influenced greatly
by monetary considerations They
give the results of their work and the
improved methods followed, freely
because they desire to assist the farm
er and to bring his work to a higher
plane.
The United States department O
agriculture is ready and willing to as
sist the farmer in many ways, Few
farmers secure copy of the annua
report, a large and interesting volume
in which is given the results of mucl
experimenting and experience. TIL,
volume may be secured free of charge
by application to. the senator or repre-
sentative of the district, and yet bu

The farmer Is learning that, although
horse is Il horse, in broad sense,
there is n great deal OF difference In
the breeds. He now knows that TO pro-
duce the, finest and largest quantity OF
butter he must keep the Jersey COW,
while the Hereford and Shorthorn
grades are the most economically and
easily fattened for market lie is be-
ginning to realize that corn and oats
can not be successfully grown on poor
soil, and that of the manure which
should be spread on such land, from
one-third to one-half the strength is
lost through careless and ignorant
handling, 1t is now generally known
ttat the potato can not be successfully
grown on low, swampy, wet ground.
These things, and more, he learns
through the experience of others, pub
lished in our papers.
The future success in farming will
not be contest OF strength The
farmer, to be most prosperous, must
acquire as much or even more knowl-
edge than is brought TO bear in any
other pursuit. He has much to learn.
To know the soils, their nature and
requirements; the fertilizers and their
relative values; the grains, their needs
and the methods by which they may
be successfully grown; the care and
requirements of live stocls-these and
many other problems must be thor
oughly mastered before the farmer may
hope to be most prosperous.
There is grand prospect before the
farmer of the future. In no other pur-
suit is there more profit, in proportion
70 the investment not alone in money
sense, but in health and happiness. =
