the GRASSES OF IOWA.

Two pamphlets have recently been
placed on the T.-R. table from the Iowa
Agricultural College experiment station
at Amee, iowa. One Of these. compris-
ing ga pages, is on "Grasses Of Iowa, !"
and was prepared by L. b. Pammel, J
B. Weems and F. Lawson-scribner. The
other, with 235 pages, considers the sub
ject OF "Pastures and Meadows of
Iowa. by the same writers.
The pamphlet on Grasses Of Iowa
gives a very complete general and tech
meal description of the grass family.
and It's economic value as well as dis
eases which may attack 1t. The grass
family. as here noted. includes corn,
oats, blue and other grass, wheat. etc.
Az Iowa derives her agricultural wealth
from cultivation OF these the impor-
lance of the subject considered is ap-
! parent. So far as possible the grasses
have all been figured. one-third were
expressly drawn for this work by Miss
! Charlotte King. The descriptive part
was supplied mostly by F. Lamson-
,scrlbner. while the economic, ecologi-
cal notes and accounts of diseases, as
well az the original chemical matter,
was furnished by the other authors
named.
1t would not be possible to give a fair
Z synopsis OF the matter presented, nor
would it be profitable to the general
reader, altho these volumes could be
probably kept In the library of the
1 farmer. Only feature or two can be
referred to here.
The dissemination of grass seeds. good
and bad, is matter OF general inter-
est. In many caees seeds of grasses
are distributed by birds and animals
which feed upon them and in many
cases Go not digest them. Man, too, is
an agent in the scattering Of the seeds
OF grasees and the introduction of new
seeda Certain grasses most commonly
follow the culture of certain grains. as
chess and Its occurrence in wheat
fields. This weed was introduced by
the wheat seed brought from Europe.
Z The sand burr affords another excellent
illustration Of man as an agent in scat
tering seeds. During the early days
sand-bur was common along the sandy
entertainments of streams: now IT has
I become common thruout the state OF
Iowa. and largely because the sand
used for building purposes is obtained
from the river bottoms. Then, too. it
has been scattered far ana wide by the
railroads who use the gravel az ballast
Another grass that has been distributed
largely by human agencies iss the Ber-
muda grass, introduced IN this country

r Henry Watterson. the famous editor
OF the Louisville Courier Journal and
noted publicist. aspires to be governor
OF Kentucky. Not only this, but he
desires to make the governorship a

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The work for the American COM
monwealths to do is to pass the neces-
sary laws and then enforce them" de-
clares the Iowa Falls Citizen. And
emphasis should be placed on the
word enforce"
The Abba Union notices that dem
ocrats expected serious factions In re-
publican ranks after the fierce pre-con-
vention struggle. but Mr. Cumn,ins'
course has united the forces and is fully
satisfying the opponents who are now
his warmest friends"
Don't be corn field canary on cleo
ton day. Get out and vote. says the
Mapleton Press.
The Valley Junction Express declares
that IA. B. Cummins is making n
matchless speaking campaign for the
governorship and his appearance at
every appointment has aroused old
time enthusiasm among the party
workers. Iowa will exceed the 100000
majority mark this year"
is it possible inquiries the Daven-
port Democrat "for Mr.. Bryan to tell
the people of Iowa anything he has not
told them before; anything they have
not twice repudiated?" And it ans
wers the inquiry very promptly, at is

sition newspaper of the standing of the
Democrat talks that way 1t isn't neces-
sary for republican journals to say
very much"
The Ottumwa Courier approves the
supreme court decision in the tax fer
ret case. 1t says: ut is a notorious
fact that annually thousands OF dol
lars in mortgages and other evidences
OF indebtedness escape taxation because
they are not listed: and right here is
the nub of the whole question. A sys-
tenn should be evolved In the conduct of
county affairs that will insure this class
of property bearing it's just burden.
Assessors should be compensated for
looking these matters up in the record
er's office. Notes should be made nom
.collectable unless the value thereof is
represented on the treasurers books.
unrecorded chattel mortgages should
be made non collectable in any event
and bank balances should be looked
after in manner not Incompatible
with the welfare of the commercial
world"
1T is an unpleasant truth to realize
that, cigarette smoking is on the incrase
in Shenandoah in spite OF the fact a
strong anti-cigarette league is located
here" says the Sentinel. In speaking
of the cigarette and pupils, the Sentinel
adds: School boys In Shenandoah are
learning the habit and the best solu-
ton for this evil Is the power to sus-i
pend the boy from schol. Brace up the
local school boards and encourage them
to back up the principals or superin-
tendents who may use drastic meas
'ures. Superintendent Smith has ex-
pressed a willingness to stop It In the
Shenandoah schools If he is backed up
by the proper authority"

to make love to them. Their only hope
is in themselves making love to the

Train Up a Colt In the Way he Should Go.

How to bring up a colt is matter
of interest to all farmers, and "Tim,"
who writes for the Farm Journal
knows good deal about it. He says:
poor feeding will make a weak
colt and unsound limbs.
when the grass is killed by frost
wean the colt, if he be old enough,
and put him in paddock or box
stall with a ground floor. Feed him
good, sweet hay, second growth is
the best, and feeding twice a day
of oats, bran and oil meal. Give him
a pint to a quart, according to age
and size. Keep stall well bedded
and level.
IA colt fed in this way will have
unsound legs.
"Watch the feet and keep them
straight with rasp,
"Give him also some roots or vege-
tables every few days.
Handle him every day-handle
his legs, pick up his feet, etc.
"a petted, well-handled colt will
make gentle horse.
Never allow any one to tease the
colts. Teasing invariably makes ii
vicious horse.
Put well-titted leather halter on
his head with short strap attached.
Several times each day take hold of
this strap and hold him or pull HIM
around. In short time he will be
halter broken without the straining
of fight if tied up at once.
"Give the colts and horses all the

rheumatism and is conductive to all
sorts of ills.

Humane Way of DehornlnQ.

Procure from your druggist one
stick of caustic potash, costing ten
cents. Take your calf about a week
old and with a common pair OF scis-
sors cut oft the hair all around the
young horn. Dampen the caustic in
water and rub, repeating this pro-
cess until the skin is all off.
Put on flour il the horn bleeds
much. BE careful not to drop the
caustic water anywhere except
around the horn, as it will leave a
blemish. l have tried this method
and find it success. 1t leaves a
perfect, well-shaped head and no
trace of the horn whatever. Try it
once and you will always dehorn
your cattle this way. NJ. J. o.
