answered him with cold, naughty

Sir Raoul saw crimson flush mount
to Hildred's white brow. Suddenly the
young countess spoke. Her voice
sounded pitilessly sweet and was as
clear as a bell.

An effort TO determine the relative
value Of Bronze Grass and Tirnothy for
pasturage and hay was made last year,
by the North Dakota Experiment sta.
tion. Though the season was not a
very favorable one, much was learned
regarding the droug ht-resigting quail

lected was a meadow that has been in
grass for several years in which the.
soil had become very firm and filed.
with a mass of roots, penetrating In the
case OF the Bronze Grass to a great
depth. After the summer rains the
timothy came forward very rapidly and
Tor September yielded $50 pounds per.
4 acre tsre more pasture grass than did the
Bronze grass, but the total yield for
the entire season was 856 pounds more
feed per acre from the Bronze grass.
The experiments were under the direc-
tfon Of Prof. Ladd, who has thus sum-.
married. the results:
l. Bronze grass produced a fair
amount Of pasturage In the dry year OF
1900, while timothy made very little
growth s
2. Animals prefer Bronze pasture to
timothy, as shown in their grazing for
1899, when there was an abundance OF
both grasses, and in 1900 we have like !,
results. &
3. There was but little difference in /
chemical composition between pasture
grass from Bronze and from timothy.
The total yield per acre was much in
favor of the Bronze grass. . .sa .:..@%.
4. Bronze grass made a fair crop Of
hay in 1900, while timothy failed
5. Bronze hay contains about twice
as much protein as timothy.
+. Bronze hay does not contain more
fiber than the average for timothy
grown in all parts Of the United States.
Z. Bronze grass sends it's roots down
deeper into the soil than timothy and
furnishes great mass Of roots in the
hrst foot of soil and hence the soil may
be expected to blow less when plowed.
=. Soils On which Bronze grass has
been grown contain more organic mat
ter and humus than those on which
timothy has been grown.
y Bronze grass is a better humus
former than timothy and leaves the
soil in better chemical and physical
condition than does the timothy.

Loose DairyIng.

A California CORRESPONDENT of
Hoard's Dairyman, writing to that pa
per- says: n #y. !.
I am an eastern man, New Hamp-
shire birth, and find things are very
different here from east of the Rockies.
I have lived in Iowa and spent one
year ct the Ames Dairy School. Here
a man, if he has some land, puts a wire
fence around it, and makes a wire corr
raj in one corner OF the lot, cuts out
some COWS from his bunch Of stock,
hires few Swiss, Dagoes, or Mexi-
cans; gets rope, or one to each man,
perhaps, bucket each, and, 10! he is
in the dairy business. I know OF
ranches here where the manager will
not go near the milk corral for days
at time, trusting everything to the
| milkers. I know Of one herd OF cows
that had rs cows out Of 125 that had
only three teats each, and another herd
had 15 out of Is. One horn and three
teats, they say, is a sign Of a Swiss
milker. Mixers here are required to
milk so cows eachs twice day; they
receive $50 to sS5 per month, with
board. wonder how an eastern man
| would like to be sent into a corral with
| 175 to 200 cows all loose, and be told
| to find and milk his thirty twice day.
possibly he might have to lasso and
rope ten OF the number before he could
| milk, and yet this is done from one
years end to another. The smaller
| farmers, some OF them with 80 to 40
| cows, have stanchions to tie in while
they milk, but on the large ones it is
out Of doors, in the mud In the rainy
