GshSS MIXTURES.
Adapted TO Light Lands, to Heavy Soils
and to Slough Lands.

and to Slough Lands.
The problem of grass mixtures adapt
ed to light lands is not an easy one to
solve, more especially in those portions
Of the west and northwest where the
moisture is deficient in normal sea-
son. On these it is difficult to get any
grasses other than those of the native
prairie to sustain themselves On these
soils Austrian bronze grass (Bromus in
ermus) is one Of the most promising
that has yet been tried. This grass is
easily established. 1t thickens with ad-
vancing age. 1t is very good grass
for hay, and has much power to endure
we'll the privation Of dry climate.
Fifteen pounds Of seed or little more
than that will suffice to SOW an acre,

er, and authority for the following:
On light soils, with fair amount Of
moisture, red and white clover, orchard
grass and blue grass can best maintain
footing. But these grasses are not most
at home in such soils. Each of them
will grow more vigorously in heavier
soil possessed of decided clay element.
Where these grasses are to endure, they
may be combined in the mixture, add
ing lucern, or, as it is also called, al
falfa. The formula for sowing will vary
with conditions, but the following will
serve as general guide:

A meadow thus laid down should last
for at least three years. The crop the
first year of cutting would be chiefly
Mammoth clover, but it would be re-
fined by the presence Of other grasses.
And the second and third seasons it
would consist mainly of white clover,
alsike clover and timothy. AS it would
not be of coarse growth tho quality

For slough lands the mixture should
comprise the same varieties except sub
stituting redtop for Mammoth clover.

OF course red clover will only main
tain its footing for time. But if hay is
the object of search, it may be we'll to
sow only red clover on such lands. Tim
othy will improve the quality of the
hay, but it will not grow vigorously ON
such soils, unless they have been much
enriched. However, the seed is not dear,
and hence it is not burdensome matter
to scatter two or three pounds of timothy
seed per acre when the meadow is laid
down. Compensation for the seed will
be found in the humus contained in the
roots when the field is again plowed, to
say nothing of the hay. And it may also
be well to SOW Mammoth red clover on
such soils, instead of the common red,
because of its greater power to gather
plant food In fact it is only on light
soils that Mammoth clover furnishes the
best quality Of hay, since on these it
does not grow so coarse as to be of little
account for food.
With heavy soils the grass problem is
greatly simplified. On these nearly all
kinds Of cultivated grasses will grow,
hence the individual may blend them in
sowing to suit his purpose, always hav-
ING in mind the season at which the va

unfortunate that more attention is not
given to the mixing Of varieties in grow
ing meadow hay, as judicious mixtures
increase the yield and improve the quail
ity Of the food. The common plan of
sowing timothy and red clover is an ex-
cellent one, since the hay crop the first
year of cutting, though nearly all clover,
is improved in more ways than one by
the timothy, and the second year of cut
ting the crop is chiefly timothy, i'm
proved by the presence of some clover.
One Of the best mixtures of grasses
that can be chosen for laying down land

Coming of Pennies.

1t is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metal, such as
pennies and nickels, are made at the
Philadelphia mint, and that nearly
100, 0,000,0 pennies are coined there
every year. This large number is oc-
casioned by the fact that thousands of
pennies are lost annually, and the gov
ernment has some difficulty in main
tanning a supply. The profit of the
government on their manufacture is
large. The blanks for making them
are purchased for 81 a thousand from
a Cincinnati firm that produces them
by contract. Blanks for nickels are
obtained in the same way, costing Un-
Gle Sam only a cent and a half piece.
Gold is coined in Philadelphia and San
Francisco. Not enough of it comes in
to the mint at New Orleans to make
the coinage of it worth while. Gold
pieces are the only coins of the United
States which are worth their face value
intrinsically. A double eagle contains
$40 worth of gold without counting the
one-tenth part copper.

Police Court Continuances Raise
Another Stiff Breeze.
Attorney F. L. McGhee INDUCED in
several personalities In the municipal
court yesterday, which called forth
warning from Judge Twohy that IL he
were not more careful of his conduct
he would be punished for contempt.
The breeze which ruffled the tranquil
waters of the city tribunal arose over
an effort on the part Of those officials
connected with the police court to eff
feet reform in the matter of continu-
ing cases from day to day without suf-
f1cient reason therefor. 1t is claimed
that attorneys have contracted the
habit of demanding continuances on
the slightest excuse, thus causing an
expense to the city in keeping the pris-
oners over night in addition to break
ing In upon the sleeping hours Of po-
lice officers who are required to be on
hand as witnesses The necessity of
the reform contemplated has long been
felt. and an effort to inaugurate it yes
terday evoked some signs Of hostility.
Mr.. McGhee's outburst came about
through his appearance on behalf Of
Thomas McDermott, who was arraigned
on the charge of drunkenness. A con-
tinuance was desired and objected to,
but was finally granted by the court,

anime, in order that those who would
not actually be wanted need not waste

and stockings. She says that the de-
PENDANT left her in 1894.
Mary E. Hughes has begun an action

treatment. The couple were married
in 1877 and have seven children, the
youngest a son, aged six years. Plain

TRIED TO GET HER own CHILD.
Mrs. BENJAMIN Leach Locked Up
Charged With kidnapping.

Mrs Benjamin Leach. giving the
alias Of Annie Johnson, was arrested
by Officer Hurley. of the Ducas street
station. yesterday afternoon on the
charge OF kidnapping. When trans
ferred to the central station the wo-
man admitted having tried to steal lit
|. tie six-year-old Birdie Leach away
from her father, but claimed that the
child was her daughter and that she
was rs much entitled to her possession
as the father
The alleged attempt at kidnapping
took place at Fillmore avenue and
South Wabasha street shortly before
o'clock. Officer Hurley had noticed
Mrs. Leach walking up and down the
+ west side of the Wabasha street
bridge at different times for the past
three days and when he saw her again
yesterday he decided to watch her.
Just as dusk began to settle, a little
girl came UP from Water street and
tripped lightly toward Fillmore avenue
The woman saw the child and ran
toward her. The girl began to scream
and darted across the street with the
woman close behind her. Catching hold
of the child she attempted to hush her
cries. but when Officer Hurley reached
the pair moment later she was
screaming the louder while trying to
resist the efforts Of the woman to drag
her uD the street. The woman told
Officer Hurley the little girl was her
child and that she intended to take
her to Minneapolis, when the officer
placed her under arrest.
Benjamin Leach, the woman's hus-
band. lives at 20 East Water street.
He is carpenter by trade and claims
that his wife deserted him three years
ago. since which time she has been
trying to get possession Of their child.
He says the court awarded him the
custody of the child several months
ago and that he does not propose to
allow the mother to get her in her pos
session.
Mrs. Leach claims that she has never
been divorced from her husband and
that she knew nothing Of the order of
the probate court. She says it was her
intention to place the child in a home
in Minneapolis, where 1t could be props
erly cared for, and showed a bundle Of
cloth which she claims to have bought
from which to make the child clothes.
The charge Of kidnapping against her
will be tried in the police court today.

MAY DISSOLVE IONA.
Attorney General Is Favorable to
Such Action.

Attorney General Childs yesterday
announced his decision in respect to
the proposed dissolution of the village
of Iona, Murray county, which was Or
ganized during the present year. He
says:
The plated portion thereof contains
seventy-nine acres and 126 inhabitants,
and the unplatted portion thereof, con-
sisting largely of farm lands, contains
1850 acres and 1873 Inhabitants. The
plated portion lies within Sections s
and 8. Section 10 is the most remote
point, being more than a mile and
three-quarters distant therefrom. The
north half of Section 10 and the south
half of Section 5 are in close proximity
to the plated portion of the village,
and may properly be deemed, in my
judgment, adjacent thereto, within the
meaning of that term as employed in
the statute.
1.-The only serious question, as I
view it, pertains to Section TO- lib
eral view should govern in such cases.
The future years of a municipality are
not always easily foreseen, and will
be dependent upon future growth and
development. From the showing with
which I am presented, I am not salts
fled that Section 10, even taking a very
liberal view of the question, is properly
Incorporated as a part of the village.
There is no suggestion based upon tan
gible facts that the territory embraced
in the section will be necessary, pres
emily or remotely, to the needs Of the
village. While this is true I am not
disposed to institute a proceeding look
ing to the destruction of the very life
of the corporation based upon such
ground, in view of the fact that Gen
eral Laws, 1895, chapter 1872, provides
a ready means for detaching territory.
I shall expect the electors of the vii
lage to acquiesce in the detachment of
Section 10, pursuant to the said law, If
a petition therefor is presented within
the next thirty days."

Afternoon.

The chances are that the people of
Kandiyohi county who are making
fight on the location of the permanent
capitol of the state of Minnesota will
be fooled in their expectation that the
suit will come up for adjudication in
the Polk county courts, as they had
planned. Attorney General Childs, at
the request of President Seabury, of the
state board of commissioners, will ask
for a change of venue to the local
courts, this being a central point and
much more convenient for all the par
ties at issue than Polk county. The
latter not being the residence of the
petitioners nor respondents, there is
no apparent reason, the state will main
tain, why the hearing should be had
in that remote locality, and it is be-
lieved that the change of venue will be
easily secured.

coal FOR THE COUNTY.

The board of control decided yester-
day to reject all the bids on hard coal
and buy in the open market. The con-
tract for furnishing all the soft coal
and for supplying the city hospital and
almshouse was awarded to c. r.
Schacht, the contract price for the soft
coal delivered az the hospital being
1896 a ton, and for that delivered at
the poor farm $3.50 per ton. Mr.. Schacht
was also awarded the contract for sup
plying the poor farm with maple wood
at 81 cord, and for furnishing the
city hospital and poor farm with slabs
at $1.75 cord.
The board awarded the contract for
1000 cords Of maple, to be used for out
door relief Of the poor, to the Yough-
iogheny and Lehigh Coal company at
$3.50 per ton.
