Bermuda Hay

On June 20 and 30, 1905, two and
one-half acres of thin upland soil on
the farm Of the experiment station at
saltwater, Oklahoma, was set to Ber-
muda grass, by planting small pieces
of sod eighteen inches apart in rows
three feet apart. This land had pre-
viously been manured and used for
growing an experimental orchard,
clean cultivation having been given
the soil for several years.
On September 25, 1906 the grass
was cut for hay and was entirely free
from weeds and crabgrass. The yield
was at the rate of 1854 pounds Of
cured hay per acre, the total amount
being nearly three and one-fourth
tons from the two and one-half acres
The rainfall during the less than
three months in which this crop was
growing was unusually heavy, amount.
ing to nearly 14.13 inches. The aver
age precipitation for the same period
in previous years is 9.62 inches. This
heavy yield, however, indicates how
quickly cultivated land may be sodded
with Bermuda grass, and the returns
which may be expected from planting
it. The hay is clean and excellent for
feeding to horses.

Call on a Lynn Bank for Beer.

A business institution like a bank
sees little of the humorous side of
life, although now and then some
thing happens to vary the routine.
The employees Of a certain national
bank In Lynn, Mass, noted for the
elegance of it's furnishings, such as
desks, marble floors, etc, were in the
midst Of their daily labors when an
individual rather the worse for wear
and liquids entered, leaned against
and rolled along the shelf reaching
the whole length of the bank to the
teller's window, where he deposited a
nickel and stood rather unsteadily.
When asked what he wanted, he said:

against and not a saloon bar he hast

Magnesite Hills.

In the neighborhood of Malelane
and Kaapmuiden, 10 miles from Lour-
enco Marquis, in South Africa, large
deposits of magnesite, said to be
equal to the best Grecian article,
have been found. The veins are of
varied width, in many places being
more than 10 feet in thickness, but
the central hill near what is known
as Salt Creek appears to be one vast
deposit about 1000 feet long by 200
feet wide, and upwards Of 800 feet
high. According to the estimate made
by the consulting engineer, the depos.
its of magnesite at this particular
point exceed million tons. The top
ographical position Of the magnesite
hills is such that the deposits can be
quarried at very low cost.

George Bernard Shaw, who has

A recent critic remarked: There

coffee is harmful, but not for me-cof-

could not drink it. I prepared it as d.
