walton Of Good Grass.
We natter ourselves that we have
made wonderful discoveries about
grasses and ~clovers, but the half has
not yet been told, and not half OF the
farmers seem to have any realizing
sense of the value Of grass. There are
vet thousands Of well meaning men
who spend money freely for hne
blooded animals and yet do not pro-
vide them with all the suculent feed
they need for health and thrift. These
same men work hard to tear up the
well set sod to make place for more
corn and oats, or other salable grains.
The gospel truth Of grass and OF
wisdom calls for more acres Of grass
and fewer for the pillow.

pertinent stations are proclaiming
this gospel, writes p. c. Holme In the
American Swineherd. and even ap-

The Illinois station has shown that
hogs fed In q ~grassless lot required
629 pounds OF corn to make ITO lbs,

grass required only AL pounds OF
corn to make ITO pounds of growth.
The Kansas station showed that
pigs on alfalfa made 10 pounds Of
gain from 300 pounds Of corn. Co

for the protection of war ships, there
is little direct news this morning from
the seat of the Macedonian troubles
but there is a plentiful crop of start.
ling statements impossible either to
confirm or deny. Among the latter is
the assertion made in a Sofia dis.
patch to the Secolo Of Milan to the
effect that it has been decided ia
mobolize the Bulgarian army.
This is contrary to the avowed pol
Icy Of the Bulgarian government, but
cannot be regarded as unlikely with

or that M. Constans, French ambas

According to a Sofia dispatch Ia
the Daily Express the British agent
there has already advised Bulgaria
that Great Britain insists that she
prevent the passage of bands into
Macedonia.
Little credence is attached to the
story published in the Vienna Die

cellor, had a long conference with EN-

at Sicily, so that It could reach Turk

will not take any action except in

The Daily Telegraph's correspond

The Associated Press learns from
Philippopolis that the Macedonian
committee is actively organizing new
