GIVE 1T THOUGHT.
Grasses for Pastures and Meadows Are
of Prime Importance.

The question of the best grasses to
grow in our pastures and meadows is
an important one. Some Of the
grasses we now grow have been cul-
tivated for much longer periods OF
time than most people suppose. We
have from England the perennial rye
grass, and that has been in cultiva-
ton in England for more than 200
years. As early as 1877 it was men
toned by the old writers on agricul-
ture.
Orchard grass is regarded as new
grass in this country, yet it has been
cultivated in England for more than
100 years. 1t may have been Guilt
waited long before that, for it is said
to have been grown in Virginia az
early as 1854. Timothy grass is well
known in several countries, but we
know little of it's origin. 1t was prob
ably developed slowly from its wild
form. Its name is said to have
originated in North Carolina or Vir-
ginia. It's principal cultivator in
those two states was man by the
name of Timothy Hansen. who must
have grown it as early as 1850. 1t is
said to have originated in North
America and to have been taken tc
England This is contrary to the pre-
vailing public opinion. which is thai
it originated in England.

Value Of Seed Corn.

Ears of corn are not always as val
liable as their appearance would indi-
cate. Excellence may be inherent or
extraneous. An ear of corn which is
good because of inheritance is much
more to be desired than one which
owes its superiority to especially
favorable surroundings. AS ordinarily
selected from the shock, wagon or
crib a very large per cent. of seed ears
are excellent because they have grown
under much more favorable surround
ings than the average. Indeed, it is
probable that if we could follow each
of these choice seed ears back to the
field where they grew we should find
so to 80 per cent. of them growing
one plant per hill-their superiority
clearly due to the fact that the mother
plant had the food. sunlight and
moisture of two or three plants poured
into it.-C. G. Williams.

FARM FACTS.

The better the steer the more out
door exposure can he stand in cold
climate.
The market for poultry products is
bound to improve continually with the
Increase of population.
Stock feeding is a science that now
needs to be studied closely on account
of the high prices that must be paid
for stock feed.
Leached ashes are sometimes as
valuable for soils as unleached ashes.
This is true on soils that already have
In them all the potash they need.
If the horses are kept comfortable
and the stables clean during the
changing weather of the fall there
will be much saved in doctors bills. 1t
is the exposure during the fall of the
year and not the excessively cold
weather in the winter that causes
horse ailments.
1t should be remembered that the
hog is no more of an exclusive grain
eater than the steer. He needs an
abundance of grass OF roughness OF
some kind at all times of the year tc
make a profitable growth. If green
grass can not be provided, then give
clover or alfalfa hay.
