GRASS SEEDS FOR PASTURE
Use Mixture of Varieties Best Suited
for Soil, Making Dense Herbage
and Succession of Feed.

In sowing grass seed for pasture, It
IS lar better to use mixture of those
varieties best suited to the soil and

When only one or two kinds of seed
are sown. Fluit. in his practical work
on "Gf asses and Forage Plants" says:
for q permanent pasture mixture 1t
is highly important to bear in mind
That such species should be selected
as bio ssom at different periods in or

tuxuriant growth through the season;
and some grasses may be used which
are valuable mainly for their nutri-

River bottom land. properly pre-
pared and seeded, can be kept in sod
Tor many years. A dressing of raw
bone meal and wood ashes should be
given every third year to keep up fer

cut the sod up with a sharp steel
toothed harrow and reseed. A rich
pasture will furnish an abundance OF
food and at the least cost.

CONGRESS QUITS
SECOND session
President VIM. TAFT WROTE
'flNlS" 4:3O MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
Senator LaFolette Wins Point De-
handing Penrose Campaign Fund
Resolution-"State Claims" Are
Shelved for neutrality-suspicious.
Left Unconfirmed.

Washington, Aug. 26-Sobered by
the embarrassments of Saturdays all
night session of filibusters and dis
agreements, congress adjusted its de
lenses Monday, invited President Taft
to the capitol once more, and at 4:3(
p. m. wrote ''finis" after the proceed
ings of the second session of the Sixty
second congress.
The end was marked with return
OF harmony. Senator LaFollete, de
handing an investigation of the Pen
rose campaign fund resolution, found
all opposition smoothed away and the
resolution was adopted almost without
discussion.
Senators Chamberlain, MARITIME
Swanson and Culberson, after fighting
bitterly for the state claims" in the
general deficiency bill, permitted the
senate to yield to the house demands
and strike out these claims. For this
concession, however, they received
promises of support next winter from
other senators, when the claims again
will be pressed.
With these old claims, amounting to
100000, went the extra months
pay for congressional employees, which
the senate demanded and the house re-
fused to give. In the last half hour
of the session, while President Taft
waited in his special room to sign the
measures of the dying congress, an
attempt was made to rush through a
special resolution giving the employees
the extra month";" but the house
again blocked it.
The president signed the general de-
ficiency bill at 4:10, making certain
the payment of $1,S00,000 deficiency in
army pay, 100000 for the Gettysburg
memorial celebration next year, $780,
600 for extension of customs work, and
scores of other important payments
Ringing on the passage of the bill
The last measure signed was a bill
disposing of lands in the Colville In
dian reservation. s4sy
Many important appointments made
by President Taft in the last few
months were left unconfirmed.
Appropriations for the expenses Of
the government in the fiscal year of
1913 amounted to $1,019,6 $40, lab, &C.
cording to statement made to the
senate by Senator Warren, chairman
of the appropriation committee.
The total Is less than that of last
year by $7,046,7SS and is $21 100000
less than the estimates.

ireland Still Losing.

AS compared with these. the in
crease in England and Wales was 1913
and in the United Kingdom 81. The
rate of increase has diminished in the
United Kingdom, Norway, Austria and
Switzerland and has increased in the
last census period in Sweden, Belgium
Holland and Germany. The population
of Ireland is still failing, though not
SO fast as in the past; the. decrease
for 1SS1-91 was no less than 81 per
cent.
The predominance of women in the
population is very marked and Is
growing greater There were" II ,445,-
COS males and 1S,624,SS4 females, an
excess of 1,179,276 women, which
would be somewhat reduced If Eng
lish subjects absent abroad in the
army, navy, merchant service and the
fishing industry could be included.
The excess was lowest in 1921, when
there were 1896 women to every 1000
men; there were 1868 women to the
thousand males both in 1901 and 1911.
but in 1901 large number of men
were absent in South Africa

Ducks and Geese.

With such fast growing birds as
goslings and ducklings, especially II
these latter be of the large breed,
care must be had that they get
enough bone and muscle building ma
terial in their rations, otherwise they
will suffer from leg weakness, says a
writer In an exchange. l very much
favor the addition of lime to water for
live stock Of any kind. 1t keeps tanks
clean and sweet, furnishes bone build
ing material, and 1t Is just as import
ant for poultry as any other stock.
When 1t is remembered that ricketts,
can be cured by the addition of lime
to a child's or young animals milk.
1t Is surely worth while to guard
agains deficiency by having some
lime about tankage and alfalfa, both
furnis hing lime in fair quantity, be-
sides enabling ducks and geese to
grow with amazing speed by build
ing up the muscular frame. and to get
best results grain ration should be
balanced by these for best results.

London.-Fresh light is thrown upon
almost every phase of the life and
progress of the English people by the
first volume of the detailed report of
the census of 1911 for England and
Wales.
The population of England and
Wales at midnight of Sunday, April 2,
1911, was 36,070,492, or 4777 less than
the figure published in the preliminary
report, and an increase of 3,542.649 on
the total for 1901. For the first time
the number of families has been ascer-
tanned with approximate accuracy. 1t
was 7,970,660, with an average of per-
sons per family Of 4.4-that is, of
every two families one has two chill
dren and the other three on an aver
age. There were in addition 1924, 900
persons resident in institutions.
Some curious figures are given as
to the rate of increase in the popula-
ton of the various countries of the

fered Goods, but Did Not Ship.
Seattle.-A career in frenzied finance
that threatened to disrupt the shingle
market throughout the country was
brought to close in the arrest here
of A. b. Turner, poolroom keeper
formerly of San Diego, Cal. Turner
is held in the city Jail charged with
grand larceny. Turner's operations
involve $4,000, the greater part of
which he would have collected had
not his scheme been disclosed through
the discovery of forged bill of lading
which was presented at a local bank.
Turner refuses to discuss his
scheme, but the prosecuting attorney
says he has admitted that he forged
the names of railroad agents to bills
of lading for cars of shingles which
he had sold at 35 cents below the
market price, but which he did not
ship.
Thirty-one sight drafts with alleged
forged names of agents are in posses
sion of the prosecuting attorney. They
were attached to letters, in many cases
to banks outside of Seattle, in all
the sums aggregate between $4,000
and $4,000.
A list of sight drafts covering bills
of lading already sent out amounting
to $5S15 was found and explained by
Turner, it is said. Since his arrest
$1400 has been telegraphed to him and
is held in the office of the telegraph
company.

In Washington he has taken charge
of the smut Investigations and those
relating to the control of tomato
blight, both problems having baffled
scientists. His work upon the tomato
