LONDON. May 19-"I have no eH-
cuses TO make. We were beaten by

ner's reply to interviewers on board
the steamship Norman at Southampton
when asked to explain the failure Of
his side In the test matches In South
Africa The statement expressed the
sentiments OF tho whole Of tho party
Of cricketers, The Bnglishmen have
returned homo holding most flattering
opinions OF the crack Colonial players,
and confidently assert .hat they have
now reached the standard of equality
with the best English sides,
"On mating wickets," continued Mr
Warner, "the South Africans are cap
able of beating an eleven of the calibro
that we send TO Australia. and cspe-
cinlly on the Wanderers ground at Jo-
hannesburg are they strong, Perhaps
we should beat them here, because
the wtckets would suit us, and we
should be able to pick our best men
at the top of their form. But out there
where we have only certain number
10 select from they certainly have the
better chance OF winning. Since l was
last In South Africa their strength has
increased 80 per cent. Mind you. we
had good team, but they fairly beat
us. They are stronger in batting, bet
ter In bowling and flelded just as we'll
as we did"

pitched the ball we'll off my leg stump,

were by no means rare. The place is
a verltablc paradise for leg-break
bowlers and teams that so out In fu-
ture ought to be well equipped with
this class OF bowler. The South AfrI-
cans in the test matches were eleven
batsmen and nine bowlers. In ono
game Shalders. who is not supposed TO
be one of the regular bowlers went
down and sent down half dozen of
the best overs I have ever seen, and

GREAT FORAGE COUNTRY
EXPERT FROM THE AGRlcUL.
TURAL DEPARTMENT AT
-. WASHINGTON : ,.'...-
HAS BEEN LOOKING OVER THIS
SECTION AND PRONoUNcES
ITS NATIVE GRASSES
THE BEST ON EARTH.

c. F. Sailor, special agent of the
agricultural department at Washing
! ton, has been Investigating the forage
resources of this section of the world
that the native grass Of the Missouri
Slope is the richest for stock purposes
of any in the country, and will so re,
port to the department.
Mr.. Sailors investigations on behalf
of the government cover the native
and cultivated grasses of the country
and his entire time is spent in investi-
eating the growths of these products.
Thursday he was driven out to the
NJ E. Griffith section south of the
city, where there are 800 acres of
bronze grass growing. He was de-
lighted with what he saw and said he
considered it a remarkable showing
of unirrigated forage crops.
In speaking. of the superiority of
North Dakota buffalo grass over the
native grasses of Iowa, Illinois and
other states, Mr. Sailor said one inch
of buffalo grass was equal to 13 inches
of native grasses of the other states,
or in other words that it was Is times
more nutricious.,
He is a great enthusiast over the
richness of North Dakota as a stock
growing country and wherever he
goes he boosts for the state While
in Chicago short time ago he met a
prominent stockgrower of Iowa to
whom he unburdened himself as to
the richness of this section. AS a re-
suit the steckman said he would con-
vince him of his error, and took him
to the stockyards. Three of the best
looking bunches~o of cattle in the yards
were picked out and inquiry made as
to where they came from. One bunch
was corn fed and came from Illinois,
another came from Iowa and was also
corn fed. The third bunch was found
to be a shipment from the vicinity of
Dickinson and the owner said he could
prove that they had been raised en-
tirely upon the native grass of that
section, and all hands agreed that
they were the best cattle of the three
lots selected, a judgment that was con-
firmed by the sale of the animals.
