VALUABLE PASTURE GRASS.
The Bronze Grass Withstands Either
Drought or Excessive Moisture
and Natures Quite Early.

In discussing the question Of grasses
before the Maine State Dairy associa-
ton, Prof. Hurd said: 1.-THE following
good. qualities. possessed by the bronze
grass make it one Of the most prom
Using grasses, especially for pasture
lands. It can endure almost any de-
gree of cold, and can stand a high tenn
perature during the summer months.
It withstands well either drought or
excessive moisture. It natures early,
ripens soon after it heads, and live
stock relish it more than any Of the
grasses, with perhaps the exception Of
orchard grass. Its feeding value equals
that Of timothy. Some fault has been
found with this grass because a ten
dency to thicken at the base retards its
growth, but that. seems an advantage.
It's real value is in pasture rather than
hay. 1t stands close grazing, is ready
earlier than others, furnishes late pas
ture and is worthy Of strong endorse
ment. It's chief drawback Is the high
price of seed, which is sown at the rate
of Is pounds to the acre. A small
quantity brought to maturity can be
grown for seed, and will in a measure
overcome this difficulty.

BIG SHRINKAGE IN GRAIN.
Facts and Figures Show That Holding
Crops for Higher Prices II Not
Always Profitable.

The advantage to the farmer Of stor-
ing his grain and holding it till spring
is not always represented by the in
creased price he may get for it. The
shrinkage during the winter storage
must be taken into consideration, and
this shrinkage not infreQuently more
than offsets the increased price.
In such cases it pays the farmer to
sell his grain as soon as it is In shape
to go to the market. A good many
investigations have been made to dis
cover the percentage of shrinkage in
various grains. The results have varied
immensely.
In some of the humid states and with
early gathered crops the shrinkage has
been as high as 80 to 40 per cent, while
grain raised in arid states and hauled
to humid states and stored has gained
in weight during storage. The shrink
age of wheat has not generally been as
great as that of some other grains.
Wheat stored in Michigan elevators
lost from five to ten per cent, during
winter. A lot of corn very heavy and
little dry at the time of storing lost 80
per cent. in weight by February. Tests
made in other states have shown
shrinkages Of ten to 16 per- cent.
One lot of corn. that was gathered
at the time Of year when it was well
glazed, but contained as large an
amount of water as possible and pass
In a state fair competition, shrank
about 40 per cent. Oats shrink little,
but are recorded to have lost about
four per cent. in weight during win

PLANS OF
BOAT SENT
TO KAISER

Three weeks ago the HerreshoT works
at Bristol forwarded 10 the representa-
tives OF the German Emperor the COM
plete plans and specifications oe pro-
posed schooner yacht. modelled closely
on the lines OF tho famous Plant schoon-
er, Ingomar and. il Is said. doubtless 10
be executed in the near future by order
of the Raiser
The volumtnous plans have been IN the
hands OF the German Emperor but two
weeks, which time is far too short Tor
a thorough and decisive examination or
the same. Designer Herresho1 gave tho
most careful attention 10 the making up
of the plans and there is nothing about
the projected vessel that is not clearly
shown upon them
In following closely the lines OF the
swift Ingomar, the genius Of the Bristol
builder OF boats has devised certain inn
provements over the older craft which
would make tho Emperors vessel the
faster. The plans sent across the water
call for a schooner. longer on the water
line by some % feet than tho InEomar,
and with corresponding increased sail
area.
Confidence is felt at the Herreshoff
works concerning the ultimate arrival
of the royal commission and the belief
prevails that, should the order reach the
shops by autumn. the construction or the
boat would commence in January
