Lyons farm last Sunday and found it
a handsome site. It is now above
three and half feet high on the aver
age, some nearly four feet. The stand
is excellent, and it seems that it will
go nearly two tons to the acre. It is

his grass as it is that of hay with
which we are familiar. A ton and a
half should be no over estimate and
the stand should be much thicker an

of the wisdom of seeding land to this
grass. Prof. Waldron told Mr.. Wiley
recently that this grass once we'll set
was almost impossible of eradication.

with the news of the burning of J. H.
Lindbiad's barn at Driscoll Monday

to shut off the windmill, and every
thing was all right. In the morning
his barn was mass of ashes, with all
contents lost, including a COW, two
calves, chickens, geese and a set of
harness and new saddle.

as he can get back and settle himself
and family.

realize the value of it to them, while
