grazing than any other species. On
heavy soils it is often crowded out by
Bermuda grass and other species, but
on light soils of even moderate fert1l-
ity it will soon cover the ground to
the exclusion Of all others. 1t is a
grass that DOR comes in when sandy
soils are pastured closely, and will
choke out the broom sedge and other
less desirable sorts. 1t is easily de-
stroyed by blowing and never becomes
a weed. 1t rarely grows large enough
to be cut for hay, though On the prai-
ries Of southwestern Louisiana, where
it is known as petit gazon," it reaches
a height of two feet or more and
covers a large part Of the native
meadows. The seed is rarely found in
the market, but the plant is easily
propagated by moving when the seed
is ripe and scattering the hay over the
field where the grass is wanted. Even
if but few plants should appear the
first year, the seed will soon be spread
by stock so as to cover the entire field.
1t bears heavy frost without injury,
and so affords considerable grazing
during the winter. 1t is often used as
lawn grass on soils too light and
sandy for Bermuda, and is excellent
for that purpose, though it's rather
light color makes it less attractive
than a grass having a richer green.

The question of whether bees pune
lure grapes has been discussed from
various standpoints for a good many
years, and the conclusions reached by
most thinkers and investigators on the
subject are that bees do not puncture
grapes, but suck the Juice of grapes
MY after they have burst open or
oeen bitten by birds. Prof. r. l.. Tay-
Tor OF the Michigan Experiment Sta
ton has conducted some experiments
that would seem to put the question
at rest. His observations were mat
the bees worked only or the Delaware
and Lady grapes, varieties that burst
open badly in wet seasons. Prof. ray
lor placed 1000 sacks on clusters Oh
thirteen different varieties of grapes
SO that the bees could not get at them,
Toward the close Of the experiment 1t
was found that the grapes inclosed IN
sacks were suffering more than those
that were left uncovered, and many OF
the grapes had burst open. The ex-
perimenter concluded that the sucking
away of the Juice of the grapes by the
bees is a direct benefit rather than an
injury, in that these juices are pre-
vented from flowing upon sound
grapes, and thus increasing the amount
of the injury by the cracking Of the
skin.
The question of reforesting burned
owe areas is of Importance to all in
terested in forestry and incidentally
in horticulture. When large areas are
burned over it takes many years to
cove them with anything, even with
grasses. When a small space only Is
covered, the heat is not so intense as
to destroy all plant germs in the soil,
but in the case of great fires even the
fertility, with all seeds in the soil. is
destroyed. Some recent Investigations
in Colorado showed that regions that
had been burned over in 1881 had not
begun to show any kind of tree growth
till six years afterward, and that thir-
teen years afterward small pines only
were found, and though these trees
were found on investigation to be
seven years old, they had attained a
height of only twenty inches. 10 FULLY
comprehend what this means one
should measure off twenty inches in
height from any object-the floor or
,~ground-and remember that this
height represents seven years OF
growth. At such a rate, how long will
it take to cover hat region with a
fair-sized forest? Another region was
burned over in 1890, and four years
afterward not a sign of vegetation had
appeared, except here and there g
struggling blade of grass or sedge
Forest fires not only destroy immense
supplies Of timber, but destroy the
humus in the soil to such an extent
that it is rendered nearly sterile fol
generations. Fires are the creates
foes to forests, and their prevention
should engage the best efforts of thu
government.

Preserving stamina in Live stock.

BY stamina we mean health, vigor,
constitution, vitality, endurance, get
there" In improved breeding there is
always danger of decreasing vitality,
says Wallace's Farmer. We can push
development along any line about so
far when weakness of constitution fol-
lows, and the usefulness of the animal
is imperiled. we can, for example,
push butter and milk production to a
wonderful extent, but the death rate
among COWS that give the phenomenal
yields is astonishing. The constitution
cannot stand this tremendous pressure.
and milk fever or tuberculosis takes
off the queens of the dairy. The cow
can be pushed to 800 or 400 pounds of
butter per year, provided she is well
fed and kept in a differentiated barn,
but the danger line lies very near that
high point.
We can make phenomenal gains on
hogs and can hide their skeletons in
a mass of flesh, but if this forcing
process is continued either on the male
or female line, impotency and small
filters CT weaklings are very liable to
follow. The change from the native
hog to the high-bred animal of any of
the improved breeds is a radical one.
and it is not possible to push pork
production to the utmost without de-
creasing the vitality and stamina OF
the animal. There is a limit to human
endeavor in this direction, and nature
says stop" The same is true Of
sheep, and in fact Of all other classes
oil live stock; less perhaps with the
horse than any other because the horse
Is used hard for service in the field
or on the road, and work means
abundant exercise and the preserva-
ton of stamina and vitality.
Regions Favorable to Goat Raising.
The climatic condition and food sup
ply of a large part of our mountainous
country are admirably adapted to An
CORA ranges, and there is not a state
in the union, East or West, in which
they cannot be grown to good advan-
tage. Notwithstanding the inbreed-
ing. cross-breeding and inability to get
fresh blood, American ranchmen lave
improved the stock they had to WORK
with just as they improved the orig.
inal Merino sheep, and believe it gives
them the material to do with, and they
will in time produce a better animal
larger and finer, than the original
stock with nearly 5000 years of history
behind it.

awful havoc In Texas.
An appalling disaster has borallcr
the city of Galveston, where II Ia re

Minis, who resides In Houston, and who
Is the general superintendent OF the

In the city at o'clock tonight from
Galveston.
After remaining through the hurrl-
cane on Saturday, he departed from
across the bay to Morghn's Point,
where he caught the train for llous-
gon. The hurricane, Mr.. Timmins said,
was the worst ever known.
The estimates made by citizens OF
Gn'vcSton was tlat 1000 houses,
most Of them residences have been des-
troyed and that at lenst 1000 people
have been drowned, killed or are miss.

Some business houses were also des-
troyed, but most Of them stood, though
badly damaged,

show Courage When COOped Up IN
Cities That Are Besieged In
Time of War,

The lessons of even the most re-
cent history show that, once they
have got over the first shock of sur
prise, the women in besieged cities
take even less account of the mis-
siles of the invaders than do seasoned
soldiers, who, of course, have a SUI
perior knowledge of the possibilities
of injury.
Just as the ladies have been seen
walking along and chattering togeth.
er In the principal street of Lady
smith, so have they done in the same
circumstances from time immemorial;
and, beyond this, one of the strang-
est lessons of history is that nearly
all the most hopeless and desperate
defenses of cities on record have been
those in which women shared. 1t
would be idle to ignore the moral in
1Uence in such cases; but, beyond
this, certain defenses would have
been utterly impossible had not the
women virtually acted as soldiers,
charging and cleaning the guns, hand
ing up ammunition, acting as ''look-
out" sentinels, tending the wounded,
and encouraging officers and men
alike. There have been scores of
cases where the women were not con-
tent with loading the guns, but fired
them, and did the business well, be-
sides. At Badajoz, Spain, several par
lies of women made the most desper-
ate stand in squares, and when they
were beaten back into the houses had
TO be dslodged at considerable loss,
for they fired from cupboards, and
even through the boarding Of the
floors If ever woman has shown to
what emergencies she can rise with Q

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlsmed condition Of the mu-
cuos lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when Il Is
entirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its rormsl condi-
tiOn, hearing win be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
