ONE of the problems that confronts
the farmer who wants to raise livestock
is the growing of pasture and hay. The
best grass fer it is Bromus Inermis, also
also called bronze grass. 1t is essential
ly a pasture grass. 1t can Withstand
both cold and drought, furnishes pasture
early and late, and yields we'll: it is also
relished by stock. The only grass that
perhaps can stand more drought is
western rye grass but it does not yield
SO we'll nor is it relished by stock, it also
tolerates moro alkali than the bromus,
A mixture of them is often advisable.
These grasses should be sown in the
spring on fall plswing. Wheat or oats
can be used AZ nurse crop but should
be sown thiniy and cut for hay as il
they are allowed to ripen, they make
such drain ON the moisture that the
terder grass plants often wither and die
but once given . goed start they will
hold their own, even against weeds
Try ct least . small acreage and see
what tho grass will do.

DID it ever strike you how insulting
it is to hang up your telephone receiver
before the person who is talking to you
has finished what he has to say? When
a fellow calls you up. and he generally
has something to say, ordinary courtesy
should prompt you to listen until he is
through as you would if he was ad-
dressing you in person. Then there is
another aggravating way some people
have and that is to rush to the phone to
call some one up and fail to give their
name. When person is talking
through the phone he rather likes to
know to whom he is talking. OF course,
these little items are but minor details
but they are few of the details which
stamp person either as gentlemanly
or ungentlemanly, lady-like or the re-
verse.

that the Indian reservation at Devils
Lake will not be opened to the home
steader at this session of congress.
