The Cost of Leap Year.

The fact that this is a leap year car
ries with it an effect apt to be over

be considerably increased by the in

home with the greatest force to those
governments which have the largest
armies to feed and provide for. The
French budget commission was met by
the fact that the one day Will add to

The latter was promoted to be a SER

ceived a very exalted impression of his
rank and became quite offensive in

attitude caused great resentment in

approached him and said, What is the
punishment if the private calls the SER

the sergeant. Suppose he simply

Substitutes For % Grass Pasture.

c. V. s., Greeneville, Tenn, writes:
Il would like to have the following
questions answered: Will be short of
grass for cattle this season. What could
/ sow to take the place of grass for
pasturage? How and when to SOW it?
VIII cattle eat rape, and will it.pay on
fairly good white upland?"
The two earliest crops you could
probably get for grazing would be
spring sown oats or rape. Spring sOwn
oats are much better, in my Judgment,
for cattle than rape, though they will
eat the latter very we'll Rape is not
suitable for dairy COWS, however, as it
taints the milk, the flavor being much
the same as when cattle are fed on tur-
nips. They are also much more likely
to blOat OIL rape, owing to its greater
succulence, than OF oats. Suppose you
SOW either Burt or Texas rust proof
oats about the LIST of March. If you
have some land broken now or can
break it shortly, it will be an advan-
tage and insure your getting the seed
Ing DOWN at an carrier GATE.
After the oats are gone probably the
next best crop would be corn. 1t would
not be wise to attempt to pasture it,
however Sow it thickly in drills about
three feet apart convenient to your pas
ture field, and cut and throw over the
fence as needed, scattering it on a
fresh piece of ground each day. After
the corn is gone whipporwill peas
should be ready if sown early. These
can be graZed on the land. 1t is better
not to attempt to Craze them, however,
until the pods are formed. Commence
grazing them week or ten days be-
fore they would be ready to cut for
hay. BY using two or three varieties
of cowpeas and seeding at different
dates, and constructing some temper
airy fences, you can utilize this crop
for several weeks. The next best crop
would probably be sorghum and vel
vet beans sown together at the rate of
about six to eight pounds of sorghum
to Il bushel of velvet beans. The crop
may be broadcasted, or probably bet
ter, sown in drills. If the cattle are
not turned on too large an area at one
time, they will eat it up quite clean
as they go, and a comparatively small
area will carry large number Of ami
mails for several weeks.
BY arranging the crops mentioned
in satisfactory succession, you
should be able to provide yourself
with plenty of excellent grazing
through the summer season. You can
also improve the land considerably by
the use of the lcguminous crops and
have it in the best possible condition
for seeding to winter cereals.-PrOfes-
sor Soule.

the tables were huge masses of garden
flowers, also of the lodge colors. A

pot present, was served on the spacious
porch, from small tables. After
luncheon the steamer Acte, which had
been chartered for the occasion by the
Reeds, took the guests on board for a
tour OF the lower and upper lakes. One
of the attractive features of the after
noon was the hour of bowling which
was enjoyed at the Casino, followed
by various games on the lawn. An
honor guest was Mrs. Louise johnson,
past worthy grand matron of the State
of Minnesota. Other women that were
present who are prominent in the order
were: Mrs. Alice J. Crowley, w. NJ;
