A NongoIfer's Opinion of Golf

Imagine a great fat creature who
ought to wear turban and a long
black robe to hide his grossness whack-
ing little white ball for miles and
miles with perfect surgery of instru-
ments, whacking it either with a baby
fish solemnity or a childish rage, as
luck may have decided, and inciden-
tally training an innocent eyed little
boy to swear and be a tip hunting
loafer. That's golf.-H. IT. w. Wells

Valuable For Hay.

Here are three important propositions
having an agricultural bearing:
1. Grass is the most valuable crop in
Vermont and in many parts of New Eng
land and New York.
2. No species of grass commonly Gull
tivated does we'll on low, wet ground.
Such ground usually produces mixture
of weeds and sedges known as "swale
hay"
3. 1t has now been shown that a ma
tive species fowl meadow grass can be
established in these low meadows, where
it will thrive and produce hay equal in
quantity and quality to the best timothy
or red top.
This announcement rests on the results
of seven years experiments conducted
by Prof. l.. X. Jones, botanist of the
Vermont Experiment Station. Seed of
fowl meadow grass is almost unknown
in the seed market, but it is not difficult
to gather from the wild plants. 1t can
be secured In this way at cost of about
S. bushel. Prof Jones advises sowing
in mixture on wet soils, the following
being merely sample prescription for
an acre:
Timothy, 10 pounds.
Alsike clover, 6 pounds.
Red top (recleaned), pounds.
Fowl meadow Gin chaf1D, 10 pounds.
The Sc should be sown in midsummer
without nurse crop. The timothy and
red top are apt to take the ground at
first, and may predominant for the first
two or three years even. But as they
succumb to the wetness of the soil the
fowl meadow grass takes their places,
and presently will be found to have oc-
cupied nearly the whole territory.
Farmers who have low, wet meadow
land, where red top and timothy do not
succeed, should look carefully into the
merits Of fowl meadow grass. 1t is a
native and hardy, and not controlled by
any trust.
