An effort to determine the relative
value of Bronze Grass and Timothy for
pasturage and hay was made last year
by the North Dakota Experiment sta
ton. Though the season was not a
very favorable one. much was learned
regarding the drought-resisting quail
ties OF the two grasses. The land se-
lected was a meadow that has been in
grass for several years in which the
SOIL had become very firm and filed
with 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
for September yielded $50 pounds per
acre more pasture grass than did the
Brome grass, but the total yield for
the entire season was $50 pounds more
Feed per acre from the Bronze grass.
The experiments were under the direc-
ton 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.
z Animals prefer Bronze pasture to
timothy. as shown in their grazing for
1893, 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.
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.
6. Bronze hay does not contain more
fiber than the average for timothy
grown in all parts of the United States.
z. Bronze grass sends its roots down
deeper into the soil than timothy and
furnishes a great mass of roots in the
first foot of soil and hence the soil may
be expected to blow less when plowed
8. Soils on which Bronze grass has
been grown contain more organic mat
ter and humus than those on which
timothy has been grown.
9. Bronze grass is a better humus
former than timothy and leaves the
soil in better chemical and physical
condition than does the timothy

whit. Holland rark.v.

Mary L. Schaal: The White Holland
turkey hen makes an excellent mother
and the young turkeys mature earlier
than most breeds, and that appears to
be the thing desired; for what feed it
takes to keep a turkey will almost
fatten pig. So the earliest maturing
bird is what we want. Some complain
that White Holland turkeys are not
large enough. The largest turkey is
not always the most desirable for mar
ket- People living in cities do not al
ways want an extra large turkey, un-
less for hotel or clearinghouse. The
White Holland turkey also makes a
better appearance dressed for the mar
ket. for they are naturally plump and
do not have unsightly black pin feath-
er marks on them, and when you once
sell them, people want them again.
The meat is juicy and not coarse, and
being small-boned these turkeys carve
to good advantage.
The White Holland turkey is docile
by nature and lacks the rowing dispo-
sition we find in some birds. That is
a very good trait-docility; for what
is worse than to be constantly running
after the turkeys, knowing they are
an annoyance to neighbors?

Eggs In the Orient.


In the East Indian archipelago salt
ed ducks eggs are an article of diet,
says Pacific Rural Press. The new
laid eggs are packed for two or three
weeks in a mixture of clay. brick dust
and salt. They are eaten hard-boiled
1t is said that in this region and in
India turtle eggs are also preserved in
salt These products, while unusual,
do not necessarily suggest an unpleas-
ant article of diet The same can
hardly be said of Chinese product
which has often been described. Ducks
eggs are buried in the ground for ten
or twelve months and undergo a Pc
culiar fermentation The hydrogen
sulphide formed breaks the shell and
escapes while the egg becomes hard in
texture. 1t is said that the final prod
ust does not possess a disagreeaple
Odor or taste. Eggs treated in this or
some similar way are on sale in the
Chinese quarter of San Francisco, and
very likely in other American cities
A sample recently examined had the
appearance of an egg covered with
dark-cOlored clay or mud.

II SO r1t on the upper combs at once,
with perforated metal between upper
and lower set. Here is the secret of
good honey and no loss of time with
the bees. Qf bees have wintered well.
the writer finds that some need a su-
per by May 15.) The first story being
hIied, raise it up and put another be-
tween the lower and the one you have
just raised. - While the bees
are Gaping the raised story they are
nIling the second set. When the first
set is capped from half to three-quar-
: ters it Is ready to be taken of and car
ried to your extracting room. The
above is what we call the tiering sys-
tenn. In the first place, there is no
loss of time by the bees in Gaping;
then you have a better crop of honey.
SO far as the bees can ripen it; and,
further, your bees are not overcrowded
You see it is quite evident if you ex-
tract your combs before they are
capped over you have a grade of hon
ey just as the bees brought it in from
the blossoms. If SO, you will only sell
that grade of honey to your customers
once.
Mr.. Dickson has a novel honey room
for further ripening his honey by rails
ing 1t to higher temperature than it
reaches in the hive. The roof of this
room Is partly of glass, and large
window faces southwark so the tenn
perature will run up to 120 degrees
The honey is placed in tanks, 16 inches
deep, feet long and 4 feet wide, lined
with the best of tin plate. Thus a
large surface is exposed to the drying
influence of this warm atmosphere.
Dairy Notes
Il is an old adage that sticking to a
thing eternally brings success. This is
very true in the dairy. At the present
time when beef is high there is an in
ci1nation with men to forsake dairying
Tor beef raising. In some states this
movement has assumed considerable
proportions. Yet it is a bad policy and
sure to work evil to the men that
make the change. If too many rush
into the beef growing it will result in
an oyersupply. On the other hand the
supply of cows for dairying is de-
creased by the tactics required in beef
growing and it is thus so much harder
Tor the farmer to re-enter the dairy
business. There is no surer business
than dairying.
It Is claimed that one-third of all
the children born die before they reach
three years of age, and that one of the
most common causes of this mortality
Is poor milk. or, rather germ-laden
milk. This may not be true of many
foreign countries, but it probably is
true OF the United States, where milk
Is led to about two-thirds of the chill
oren under one year of age. There is,
therefore, good reason for the continu-
alton of the agitation for good, whole

Swine News.

An epidemic prevails among swine
in portions of Cuba. Nearly all the
hogs in Northwest Matanzas have been
carried OF and great many in North
lost 85 per cent
Chicago's August top on hogs for
1901 to date is CSC above the August
average for the last eleven years, there
being only one August higher since
1888. The top in August. 1896. was
only $3.50, while the same month of
1882 they reached $3.50. In Septem-
Der, 1882, $9.35 was paid, being the
highest for any month in over thirty
five years.
Eleven markets received 43O, 900 hogs
during the week ending August 10th,
being 10000 less than the previous
week and $4,000 more than a year ago.
This year eleven markets received 15-
234. 900 up to August 10th, the largest
combined receipts on record. The to-
tai for 1901 to that date increased
913,O 900, compared with a year ago,
714,000 compared with two years ago
and 1.319,000 compared with three
years ago.
"One thing is true both south and
north, late chicks are not very valua-
BILE. In the former locality excessive
heat reduces activity and size; and
in the latter early frosts and cold
weather check growth at the other END
of the season" So says contem-
porary. But we would suggest that by
feeding beef meal or meat in some
form, with green cut bone, even late
chicks can be given a start that will
give them good size by the time
frosts become frequent. Only those
that have tried it know the effect of
5uch feeding.
1t is best to keep the night and morn
ing milkings separate; at least, warm
milk should never be mixed with cold
milk; 1t should first be cooled down to
near the same temperature. Under no
circumstances should any preservatives
or powders be added to milk to keep it
from souring. These are criminal
makeshifts of dirty dairymen. Clean
liness and cold are the only prevent
ives needed.

NOT AN ULTIMATUM.
Powers Proceed AS If It Were-Only
Eight Day.. +

Pekin, Feb. 19--The eight days given
factory edicts. cannot, the foreign MIN
listers say, be considered as an ultimatum
as the notice only refers particularly to
the cessation Of examinations and also
to the liability of the governors of lie
provinces where outrages may have been
committed.
The military officials fail to see the diff
ference in a series of ultimatums for a
single ultimatum covering the entire de-
mands. and ask If the Chinese refuse
to agree to any points during the NUM-
Der of days given, what the ministers
intend to do.
In the meantime the military cons
tinue preparations for the expedition,

umns of troops, two columns leaving

CHINESE RAIDS ARE BAD.
Peace Is the Object That Should Be
Sought.

Washington, Feb. 19.-This govern
ment will not join in the contemplated
movement of the allied armies against
China. and an indication Of our purpose
will be sent to the powers. This de-
termina ton was reached at todays
cabinet meeting. 1t is believed by the
president and the members of his, cab
met that such a movement would be
unwise from every point of view, and
would be in the nature of demand
that China shall do what is probably
impossible for her to accomplish.
considerable portion of the session
was given UP to a discussion of mat
ters relating to Cuba, and the state
ment was made that the president still
maintains that an extra session of con-
gress will be necessary in case the
Cuban constitution does not reach here
in time to be acted upon at the present
session.
Secretary Hay has received cable
gram from Charlemagne Tower, our
ambassador to Russia. explaining the
views Of the Russian press on the sugar
bounty question. He says the papers
advise caution and conservative action
by the Russian government. This ca
blegram was laid before the cabinet by
Secretary Hay and discussed at some
length.

The time of Justice Houtchens' court

helm, the Missoula merchant who is
charged with having received stolen
property, knowing 1t to have been
stolen The case required an evening
session, at which the decision of the
court was passed after hearing the
arguments of counsel.
The case has attracted much notoriety
from the prominence of the accused in
Missoula business life and the reported
system of thefts that would be dis
closed. County Attorney Hall IS as
sisted by Attorney II. c. Stiff in the
prosecution. They produced testimony
from three boys, who were arrested for
stealing brass from the Northern Pa
cific yards, who testified that the ac-
Cused had instigated them in the work.
and assured them that if the company's
marks We're e1faced from the metal
pieces he would buy them. The mother
Of one of the boys testified that in
conversation with Mannheim, after the
arrest of her son, that the accused had
promised to furnish an attorney for his

n manner that would free him from
blame.
In defense. Mannheim. who was rep
resented by Attorney John NJ. Evans,
produced members of his family and
employees to testify that his custom had
been to refuse the purchase of all stolen
junk and that in the purchase of the
metal in the case accused he had never
seen the metal, and acted only as the
agnt of his wife in paying for it, as she
was the proprietor of the business con-
Quoted in his name.
Many points in the testimony We're
directly contradictory and savored
strongly Of collusion Points on which
there could have been no difference in
fairness were represented in variety
of forms by the different witnesses in
a manner that often brought an out
burst of laughter from the spectators
The attempt of the county attorney
was to show that the receiving Of stolen
goods by Mannheim had been a custom
of his regular business. Several wit
nesses testified that he had even urged
them to bring in more metal from the
railroad yards. am that DETACHMENT of
identification marks would free all from
prosecution.

those OF Admiral Sampson and Schley.
They also decided to recommend the re-
vival OF the grade of vice admiral and
the appointment Of two rear admirals

the president shall name Messrs. Samp-

by the committee in order to avoid the
renewal of the Sampson-Schley contro-

tons. but there were some indications
in the committee meeting that this con-
troversy might be raised over the ques-
ton of precedence in naming the two

desiring to specify that Admiral Schley
should be first named. The same con-
tention arose over the resolution OF

LENT BEGINS
TOMORROW

In the Catholic world, tomorrow be-
gins the season of penance, fasting and

The rules of Lent imposed on Roman
Catholics In the United States are not
SO rigorous as those which Catholics in
Europe obey. This country is still re-
garded as Il missionary field by the
Vatican. The obligations of the fast
