The blue jays are out of the woods
and around the orchards and door,
yards From November until March,
and while they hang about the camps
of the lumbermen and woodchoppers
to steal food and annoy the chicka-
dees and nuthatches, silently gliding
in and out of the evergreens as quietly
as possible. 1t has always been a mys-
terry now they collected enough food to
keep them alive during the cold
months They have soft bills and can
not hammer holes into the trunks of
trees for larvae. the way the wood
peckers and nuthatches do. No doubt
they gather in a stray mouse now and
then, and these with sickly birds and
unfortunate squirrels make up their
bill of fare. Still, we believe that If it
were not for the presence of man
most of our jays would have short
commons in the winter. With the
coming of the spring the jays undergo
a great change From silent and shy
birds they at once become clamorous
and insistent. They emerge from the
forests and seek the orchards for
stray insects, they search the fields for
carrion thrown out by the farmers and
they make themselves known in many
ways Though beautiful bird to look
at the jay has few qualities that are
lovable. They are treacherous, thiev-
ish and uncleanly. But as herald Of
spring they will always be welcome to 5
the New England dooryard.

Bermuda Grass, or Wire Grass.
BY j. s. Newman Of Clemson College.

This most valuable acquisition
to our list Of pasture grasses
seems to have come from India
where it is called "dab."
Until its great value as a pas
ture grass and, on moist fertile
soils, as hay producer, became
known it was regarded as a pest
by the cotton planters all oyer
the Southen United States. Many
plantations, in the South Atlantic
States, were abandoned on &C.
count of its prevalence upon them
which are now yielding more
profitable returns from Bermuda
pastures and Bermuda hay than
were ever realized from the same
fields while cultivated in cotton.
There is well authenticated re-
cord of 10000 lbs. of cured Ber-
muda hay, per acre, from three
mowings during one season, on
the Oconee River bottoms in
Georgia.
Farmers who, q few years since
dreaded it's appearance upon tbe cir
farms as they did Canada this
tie or the famous coco or nut
grass, are now industriously plant
ing Bermuda pastures and mead.
ows.
Bermuda is stoloniferous grass,
propagating not only by means
of underground stems like most
of the so-called blue grasses, but
this propagates also by over
ground stems. This habit enables
1T to spread quite rapidly under
favorable conditions.
Bermuda being a child of the
SouCh delights in sunshine and
will not thrive if deprived of this
life giving influence. This fact
is utilized in the most effective
means employed for its destruc-
ton. 1t is propsgsted in this
country most satisfactorily by
planting pieces of the sod, but
may be by seed also if proper
precautions against the shading
out of the young plants by taller
growth of weeds and grass by
both under ground and over
ground stems and by seed. Re-
produces seed stalks and flowers
but, IN this country no seed. The
seed spikes branch into from
three to six spikelets. There are
two leaves at each joint. These
two characteristics alforda means
Of readily distinguishing it from
Paspalum distichum, which propa-
gates like the Bermuda, but is
coarser, has only one leaf to the
JOINT and only two spikelets to
the seed stalk.
Bermuda is perennial IN warm
climates but perennial-rooted in
the upper cotton belt. The blades
Of the grass are killed by the first
severe frost, but the under. ground
stems and roots and The over.
ground stems that have taken
root are not killed by even severe
freezes.
ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION.
Bermuda is propagated most sue
cessfully by planting pieces of
the sod. In the fall while break.
ing the land with a turn plow
drop pieces of the sod in every
third furrow behind the plow and
cover with the next plow slice.
Sow rye on the land as left by
the plow and harrow or drag It

PROTECT THE YOUNG PLANTS FROM

Whether sod or seed Is used all

either by pasturing with heavy

prevent the young plants from
being destroyed by shade. 1t Is
best to pastureclosely with cattle.
1t vigorous growth is desired
the land should be thoroughly
and literally fertilized with a
mixture or combination of ami
NAL and commercial manures.
These should be thoroughly incor,
porated with the soil before plant
ing. Once established, the Ber-
muda sod will afford pasturage for
an indefinite period, improving
the land each year. If grown on
moist fertile soil it affor g two or
three cuttings of superior hay
each season.
After standing fifteen or + , enty
years the sod should be thorough
ly broken and portions of the
propagating stems turnedas deep
ly as practicable into the soil. If
this is done in the fall clover or
wheat may be sown without in

plants make their principal
growth while the Bermuda is DOR

part of the cotton belt should
take the place Of the clover and
