Has A G VALUE.
ienti Authorities Are unanimous
in PronOuncing Buffalo Grass
Rich in Nutriment.

Over vast areas of the west buffalo
grass has always had a high reputa-
fion as a pasture for stock, even in its
winter condition.
This fact gives special interest to an
experiment On its digestibillty when
has been performed by the hemlca
department of the Kansas experiment
station. The experiment possesses al
ditionaI interest because it is the hrst
one of the kind to be recorded in ref
erence to this important resource OF
the great plains.
It being impossible to investigate
the fresh grass in this respect, some
buffalo grass hay was procured and its
digestibility tried with a grade short
horn steer. He was kept OF n buffalo
grass hay alone for five days as a pre-
Iiminary feeding to free his digestive
tract from all other feed, and then he
was fed for five days more, which con-
stituted the digestion experiment
proper. During this time an accurate
account was kept of the hay fed and
the amount uneaten. The dung was
collected by watchers who were with
him at all times. The original hay, h
uneaten residues and the dung were
carefully sampled and analysed.
The results showed a very high per-
centage of digestibIe proteids in buffa-
10 grass hay. In this respect it is con-
siderablv superior to Kentucky blue
grass and very much better than tim
othy. 1t has about the same amount
of digestible carbohydrate and fat as
these grasses. but because of its higher
~ nrnTnin furnishes n hPf-
ter balanced ration.
Prof. j. T. Willard, under whose di-
rection the experiment was carried on
saws: 'This valuable grass is worthy
of the most careful protection"

If YOU have none, build one now:
much money is lost annually by farm
ers from this neglect. In selecting a
site choose one far enough from other
buildings to be out of danger from
fire. Have arrangements for a stove
and for this reason the tool house
should not be too close. Size should
be ample, according to the tools anc
machinery needed for the size of the
farm. Have sliding doors in the side:
for convenience, with a repair room

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron. Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain IN
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter OF all
pains and ir~regularity-
Nothing in the world equals Mrs
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-

There is a little truth and a great deal

woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.

herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
