Importance of Grass.

In attempting to farm without
grasses the farmer is lifting without
lever. He is pulling mis- load with
the weight ON the hind wheels. He
is cutting with dull saw
First Of all. grow more grasses and
study how to build up the fertility of
the soil so that it will grow larger and
better crops of nutritious grasses. You
may convert the grass into milk and
its products into flesh and into manure
for grain crops or you may sell the
hay by the ton, according to the facts
of your particular location.
1t sounds foolish to hear men talk.
ing about farming without grasses and
land that can be made to yield at
least two tons Of well-cured hay to
the acre. The greatest thrift that we
have seen among the farmers in va
rious parts of the ten leading agricul-
tural states has been on farms of
about 100 acres where grass was the
basis of their farming and where this
grass was fed out to animals that were
kept on their farms.
Without grass it is impossible to
keep up rational system of crop ro-
tation and build up the fertility of the
soil for future crops. A farmer can
not afford to grow half ton of grass
to the acre any more than he can af-
ford to grow ten bushels of wheat or
corn. Such crops will keep him poor
forever.-Agricultura Epitomist.

Eject of Enforcement of Game Law
-Punfshment of Poachers.

Eject of Enforcement of Game Laws
Punishment of Poachers.
Elk are increasing in the noun
tains OF Montana. This increase Is
steady and it looks as If 1t will be
only comparatively few years before
they will be agar counted by the
thousands instead o. a few scattered
Aware, according to the Anaconda
Standard. This Is especially true in
the northwestern part of the State
and in the parts of Madison and Gala
tin Counties which are near the yell
lowstone national park.
Some time ago l made personal
investigation of the conditions which
prevail among big game in the region
near where the Madison and the
Gallatin Rivers leave the boundaries
of the park. The deputy warden of
Gallatin had been reporting elk in that
section by the thousands, and l could
not believe 1t. Accordingly | took him
up on his invitation and spent several
days in that section. Seeing is al
ways believing, and 1 saw thousands
OF elk there and they were feeding
with the half-wild range cattle as COM
fortably as If they were domesticated
and were in barn yards.
This condition has been brought
about through the laws protecting elk.
and furthermore because the poachers,
who used to make big killings near
the boundary of the park, are practic-
ally eliminated from the game. Time
was when they would enter the park,
scare bunch of elk or buffalo across
the line, butcher them at their leisure
and sell the meat Now the selling of
elk meat or yenison Is prohibited by
law and every soldier in the Yellow
stone national park-and there are
three troops of cavalry there's q
special deputy game warden, and he
has power to follow poachers across
the park line into either one Of the
three States which border, Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming, and make ar
rests
These poachers are often tried at
Fort Yellowstone, and the way the
military officers have of handing out
81 900 fines for poachers Is rather dis
concerning, for If the fine Is not paid
it means a long term in the guard
house, and the guardhouses on mill
tary reservations are not fitted up for
the comfort of the involuntary guests.
Rather an important step was TAX
en- this year regarding the ranging
of sheep near the boundaries Of the
park On the Yellowstone side 1t has
been customary in the past to range
the sheep up to the very line of the
park. This practice resulted in the
feed being eaten off so closely that the
snowshoe rabbits starved to death.
When the elk, antelope and deer came
out of the deeper SHOWS of the park
In the early winter to their old winter
ing ground they found nothing to eat
and some of them were in danger of
starvation.
"Often they would wander into the
settlements, to be tangled up in wire
fences. l took the matter up with the
forestry department and the command
ant at Fort Yellowstone, the result be-
ing an order that sheep would not be
allowed to come nearer than within
six miles of the park line. The re-
suits are already apparent, for there Is
q splendid stand of grass on all sides
of the park and the game will be as
sured of plenty of pasturage during
the coming winter"

Folly of Continuous Cropping.


A man near my home worked away
for months clearing up piece OF land
that had grown up to brush, cutting
the green stuff and hauling of the
stone. until he had fine lot nicely
brought under cultivation / saw this
field after 1t was plowed, and 1t GER
tainly did look fine.
This piece of land the man planted
to potatoes, and dug an excellent crop.
The owner of the farm told with con-
siderable pride in his voice how many
bushels he had taken from the field.
1T paid me for all my work-that one
first crop"
But where he made mistake was
in putting potatoes on that lot the next
season. It seemed as II he must have
thought: "Now / have got a thing,
I'll make the most OF IT," For three
successive years that farmer kept the
field under the harrow, each time
planting the same crop-potatoes. The
other day I passed that way. and /
never saw a more completely democrat
lied piece of land than that was. The
outlook for crop was dubious indeed.
One year more and the white bean
period will have been reached.
Now, IL that man had just taken on
one, or at most two, crops and then
seeded the land down II would have
been e good piece Of ground for many
years. II / ever had marked exam

TubercuIosis Concealed.

AS it is the often long-concealed
which it is especially dangerous when
it affects animals that are valued, like
dairy cows, because an important ar
ticle of food, like milk, is produced
within and Is daily drawn from their
living bodies for long periods of time,
this concealed character must be re-
garded as one of the important facts
about the disease, and as too many
persons are inclined to take for grant
ed that a dairy herd is free from tu-
berculosis simply because the cows Of
which 1t is made up look and act like
healthy animals, 1t seems desirable 10

ter.

But this is very rare. More commonly
it is an insidions, slowly progressive,
chronic disease, the beginning and

confined to any one part of the body;
1t may attack many parts in success

tack several or many parts simulta-

gradual that the body can adjust or
