BRONZE GRASS KING.
Perpetual Forage Plant In the Inland
Empire.

Pullman.-The mixed farming era
has brought bronze grass to the front
as an Agricultural king of the Palouse
wheat fields Of eastern Washington.
II furnishes green food for cattle,
hogs, horses and poultry, every month
in the year. and gives good crop of
hay and seed OF the 500 varieties
of grasses covering the earth the
wheat farmers of the Inland Empire
saw bromas inermis is the one that
best serves the purpose of perpetu-
al forage plant. The acreage planted
to this grass is increasing every year.
Bronze grass is a native of Russia
II grows in that country to the height
of 3 to feet. Two to three crops are
cut annually. and the yield ranges
from to IONS to the acre. 1t is
great drouth resister and produces
abundantly even in the driest seasons
4 hpayy sod is made the first year and
when other crops fail because Of lack
Of moisture the bronze grass comes
out TO feed the stock and produces
good results from stock farming. 1t
has become a general farm necessity
in MANY Of the semi-arid sections Of
tie western continent.
Farmers Change Methods.
few years ago the farmers of
eastern Washington did not believe in
diversified farming. They thought
the country was adapted only 70 wheat
ana were cCntented 10 harvest what
ever the season permitted the soil to
produce In dr. years the crop was
short and they had less than when
The rainfall was plentiful. They gave
| little attention 10 mixed farming. as
| they argued If We cannot get SO0d
wheat crop We viii have nothing to
| feed TO cattle. horses CT hogs" COndi-
tons are changing in every locality.
Bronze grass is bringing about The
| change.
| Many fields of bronze grass are used
for pasturing dairy COWS and hogs
| The milk is shipped to creamerles and
made into butter ana the hogs are
marketed in the cities Of Puget
sound. A st0r" is told of one man
| who in former years planted his
| lands all to wheat. He adopted the
modern idea Of diversified farming
ana sold his wheat fields. His farm
consists OF 100 acres One-half OF
| this he sOws to wheat ever year. Last
autumn he marketed hogs TO the value
of $1,000 from that 160acre farm.
Bronze grass grows luXuriantly il
the rainy season. 1t is drOuth re
sister. but can stand any amount OF
moisture. One farmer in rainbel
district says: Il sOwed at the rate OF
25 pounds of seed to the acre. -Four
acres cost $3.50 and procured 1f
tons OF rich. nutritious hay and s10t
worth Of pasture" Such results are
being reported by diversified farmer;
| in different counties where bronze
grass is planted as an experimental
| crop. 1t is working some wonderful
transformation in the agriculture

WILL ASK A PRoTEcToRArE.
Gen. Wos Arrives at San Juan to Re
main Two Months.

A cablegram from San JUAN Porto Rico
November %, says: Gen. Wos Gil arrived
last night on the German cruiser Fake.
The Fake started at daylight this morn
ing on her return to Santo Domingo In
the course Of an interview with a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press Cen.
Wos Y Gil said:
Regarding the overthrow of my govern
ment can only say that it was due to the
Impotence of the people With my re-
spect for the constitution this in,patience
caused the revolution. If the new govern
ment starts constitutionally my people will
agree with it; if not, they will try another
evolution rather than revolutions. / had

country.
public hinges upon the recognition of the
protocol signed by the Vasquez govern
ment with Minister Powell l never want
ed the protocol ratified unless the Domini-
can congress accepted it; my acceptance OF
1t was forced when the revolution came.
This protocol demands the arbitration of
certain differences between Santo Domingo
and the United States. In accordance with
President Roosevelt's agreement with me-
personally signed by the President, and re-
ceived in Santo Domingo, Mr. Roosevelt
cannot accept any other arbitrator than
mine, SiSnor Galvan, WHO was appointed
by the regular government and is now in
Washington. l do not care to say more
now.
Gen. Wos Gil wifi remain here two
months. When asked if he were conterl-
plating urging the United States govern
ment to establish q protectorate over Santo
Domingo the general placed his finger upon
his lips and waved his hand Significantly
his entire manner indicating the truth of
the rumor that such a step was the object
of Senior Galvan's mission TO President
Roosevelt.

HIRED RIGS IN VOGUE.
Reasons Why Rented Carriages and
Automobiles Are Preferred by Some.

From the New York Sun.
The private rig is not nearly so much in
vogue as 1t used to be. New Workers now
prefer to hire their horses and carriages.
One curious phase of this custom Is the in
disposition of persons with stables in the
country fun of horses to bring them to
New York. The hard usage to which horses
are subjected in the city is one cause of
this Then one does not hesitate to use
hired horses in weather in which one would
not care to use his own horses.
By the arrangement made with the livery
stable men who rent vehicles by the month
1t is possible TO get a carriage at any time.
Then any damage done to the vehicle CT to
the horses does not fall on the lessee, but
on the owner. A private team cannot be
first class for less than $50 a month. The
wages of good coachmen are rarely any
less. Livery for one man will in all prob
ability cost not less than $75. Then there
are the almost constant incidental expenses
of maintenance. These OUTLAWS, when the
rig is hired, fall on the stable keeper
Any person who agrees to hire vehicle
for a certain length of time will receive an
entirely new brougham or victoria or one
that has been put in such condition as to
look entirely new. The exclusive services
of one driver are promised. and in MANY
cases the drivers are just as smart looking
as the most expensive private coachman
For a brougham or victoria to be available
at any time of the day or evening the aver
age price Is $275 month. Sometimes the
stable will mark the new livery provided
for the lessee, as well as the new vehicles
with the crest or monogram.

ers' shops many of which are no more than
filthy novels, in slum districts in all parts
of London. They are bought from the pro-
fessional bird catchers, and sold again for
four or five times the amount paid for
them.
Thus is the bird life of Britain gradually
being extinguished.
But by far the worst side of the whole
business is the Overcrowding and conSe-
quent suffering to which these tiny captives
are subjected. 1t may be seen in any bird
dealers quarters-small cages, measuring
but a few inches each way, packed with
little birds-the sick, the well, the dead, the
dying, all crowded together in one futter-
ing mass of choking bird life-a veritable
Black Hole of Calcutta.
1t is suggested that lovers of birds should
commence general crusade against the
evil. A great deal of good might be done
by watching and giving information to the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals of any case of cuelty that may
be seen. The society, one of it's mem
bers has informed an Express representa-
tive, will be only too glad of the wide
spread support of the public in its cam
paign.
The campaign against the capture of wild
birds is really In the hands of the county
councils. AS the Duke of Bedford pointed
out in his last address to the Society for
the Protection of Birds, UNLESS the county
councils utilize their powers of all-the-year-
round protection and the police enforce the
law, bird catcherS will continue to pursue
their trade with profit to themselves
Without the active support of these local
bodies the work of the society's watchers is
almost useless.
