As winter forage, it is without an
equal. The habit of growth of this
plant is very similar TO that of Bermuda
grass, but the stems and leaves are
much finer and the turf formed more
compact. Live roots transplanted from
Nebraska to the grounds Of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington, d.
c., have grown with remarkable vigor,
and it may be possible TO utilize this
most palatable and nutritious grass in
portions of the eastern and southern
states.
This whole family is extremely val
liable, seeding profusely, and covering
every portion of the country where suf-
ficient rain for its growth may be found
at any season. In the mountains win
ter variety is found remaining fresh,
while that of the plains and valleys is
dried by the late summer heats. The
whole class is admirably adapted to the
requirements of the country, as they re-
main during the warmest months of
summer, and until the rains of the next
season come on, in a dried form, pre-
serving the nutritive qualities through
out.-Journal'o of Agriculture.

PROTECT TEE BIRDS
Important Facts oempfIed by WI
iiam Duteher. Of the AmeFE-
can Ornithologtsta' UnIon.

| According to the census of 1850 there
were iu the United States the enor-
nous number OF 4,564.64l farms, with a
total acreage Of 6e3.2is,6Ie. The val
cation Of these farm lands Is placed al
the sum of Sl3,2Ts,252.649. The labor
OF the farmer and fruit grower is re-
paid by products 10 the value Of Sc, 400.
l07.4 per year, bat it Is said that
insects and rodents destroy products
annually 10 the astonishing moaey
value Of Ss00.O0O,o0o. even With the
birds as protectors. just imagine what
the additional loss would be were all
the birds destroyed. They are fast
being exterminated, and unless that
large class of the population, the agri-
eulturists, awaken to the gravity Of
the situation and absolutely demand
that no more birds be killed for any
purpose whatever. they will soon feel
the shortsightedness in actual dollars
and cents A difference Of one per
cent. in the value Of the farm products
amounts to the enormous sum Of sea-
G0I,O74. The birds are now killed for
two purposes only; for food and mil.
linery ornaments. For food. only a
very few are shot, i. e., the game birds,
apd these only during restricted por-
tions Of the year, so they do not ma
terially affect the result There is no
excuse for shooting the second class
of birds, as their value as millinery
ornaments is far less than their value
as insect destroyers. Besides this,
contrast the difference in the money
value of the two interests that are
opposed TO each other. BY the census
of 1890 we find that the total capital
invested in the millinery and lace trade
Is $22,939,430, and the cost of the ma
terial used that year was $27,345,1ls.
Place the two interests side BY side,

as against $2IOoo,OOo. ask, and |
wish ! could shout my question in
voice so loud and clear that every man,
woman and child in this broad land OF
ours could hear it: Have the milliners,
with their paltry interests, any right
to jeopardize the safety of the agri-
cultural interests? Ponder! A differ
ence Of only one percentum in the an
nual product of our farms and gar
dens amounts TO more than. the entire
millinery and lace interests OF the
United States. win the farmers and
fruit growers remain silent much long
er and permit the birds, their best
friends, to be killed thata trifling inter
est like the millinery trade may make
few more dollars at the sacrifice of
so much that is beautiful, as well as
of economic value?

CONSERVE FERTILITY.
II Is Far Better to Keep Land Rich
Than to Starve 1t and Then Try
to Restore II.

There is no land so rich as to excuse
the farmer for wasting its fertility or
the manure from his live stock. ANY
man is much blessed, If he is permitted
TO start with farm of high fertility,
for many are the men whose onerous
task isthe bringing into productiyeness
Of the sands the deserts, the marshes
and the waste places of the earth. Yes,
and they do it until such unpromising
tracts of land literally blossom as the
rose"
But the farmer, as has just been said,
who can command fine virgin soil at the
beginning should estimate correctly the
value of his good fortune. All be has
to do perhaps is to maintain fertility,
to prevent his fields from depreciating
in their stocks of plant food. This is
comparatively simple and easy matter
indeed, provided the man SO blessed
does not become possessed of the very
erroneous idea that he is exempt from
universal agricultural law and can
waste fertility without suffering the
general penalty for such mismanage-
ment. 81
Good, wise husbandry; the careful
saving Of manure, and the conservation
of fertility are necessary in the more
favored agricultural sections as well as
where natural fertility is more limited.
Even thus early farmers find it profit
able to use the commercial fertilizers
upon lands, that few years ago were
judged to possess "inexhaustible fer
tility." a-
Any land will run out" In time un-
der a system of soil robbing; and it is
far more expedient to keep land rich
than to first starve it and then attempt
to restore it.--M. Sumner Perkins, in
National Rural.

Meaning of SOIL Aerntion.

By this term we mean the entrance
Of air into the soil, and its consequent
effect. This is closely connected with
the benefits nccruing from an increase
Of depth. In many of our subsoils
there is a quantity Of inert plant food
which is Of no use unless 1t has been
decomposed by the action of the air.
When the air is admitted to the soil
gradually from the. surface and also
from the drains direct, the oxygen OF
the air, in connection with moisture
and heat, causes chemical change to
take place in all vegetable matter not
well decomposed and fitted for plant
food, and renders the soil richer as
well as deep.-C, G, Elliott, Drainage
Engineer.

TRUE BUFFALO GRASS.
II Ia without QHeation the Most valu-
able Forage Plant of the
American West.

Buffalo grass (Bubilis dactyloides),
the true buffalo grass Of the great west
ern plains region, is reported 10 have
been much more abundant aHd more
widely distributed in times past than it
is at present. Now, however, it is known
to extend from the British possessions
southwark into Texas, where it is con-
sidered an invaluable grass and one Of
the best constituents of sheep pastures.
II has low habit of growth, rarely
more than five or six inches high, and
produces numerous creeping and widely
spreading branches or stolons, which
root at the joints each joint forming a
new tuft, and in this way the grass
often covers large areas with a close
mat of fine-leafed herbage, which is
greatly relished by all grazing animals.

The GrewsOme Sight Witnessed bJ
Traveller Near a Vermont
Town.

That frightful wind which visited
this part of the country a few weeks
ago did many violent things which
were not discovered at the time. One
of the most grewsome of these occur
rences was discovered by a travelling
man In the vicinity of Rupert, VT. The
agent was driving late in the afternoon
on a somewhat unfrequented road
toward Rupert, and he noticed far
ahead of him something swaying and
dangling from tree. As he drew near
er to it he could hear weird rafting
sound, and, although he could not see
distinctly, yet it was evident that the
thing in the distance was of human
shape. HI.." ......
"Some poor fellow has got tired Of
life," soliloquized the drummer, "and
has made away with himself. Iwlsh he
had chosen some other time"
As the horse drew near the dreaded
object, the drummer was almost
tempted to turn about, but the night
was cold and the way back was long,
and he determined TO face the awful
thing whatever it was. When he
reached the spot he found to his horror
an open coffin lying on the ground,
while dangling from the bough Of
tree near was human skeleton with
grinning teeth, eyeless sockets and
rafting bones. sE
Near by was an immense tree up
rooted, its roots extending upward in
the air. A small family burying
ground, an open and ragged grave
torn all to pieces and splintered cof-
fin told the story. The recent wind had
torn up the tree, the roots Of which had
been entwined around and under the
grave. When the roots gave way and
came up with the force of the wind,
the grave had been torn open, the cof-
fin wrenched In two and its silent ten
ant had been thrown into the air, some
of the rafting bones catching on the
bare branches Of the tree from which

The Police Have Three Suspects

NEW YORK, Jan. 4-The police have
three men under surveillance in con-
nection with the Adams Cornish pois-
oning, and would have arrested one or
all Of them, had it not been for the fact
that none of these suspects has a light
beard. Miss Miller, the saleswoman
who sold the match-holder in Newark,
is positive that the purchaser had
light beard. It is said that should the
police discover that any Of the suspects
purchased a false beard. an arrest
would Immediately follow, and that the
police would then believe that they had
a good chance to secure the conviction
of Mrs. Adams murderer.
Professor Wittehaus, who has been
Analysing the contents of the bottle out
of which Mrs. Adams drank, to-day
made his report to the District Attor-
ney. Professor Wittehaus says def
initely that the poison in the bottle
sent to Cornish was cyanide of mer-
curry, and that he believes the sender of
the poison must have been either a
chemist or one with an intimate knowl-
edge of chemicals. Professor Witte-
haus also says that the bottle contain

regular bromo-seltzer bottle had been
pasted over this bottle.
All the suspects are said to be men
who had grudges against Cornish.
