Not the Posy She Wanted.

Hayne, May 4.-Mrs. Mont Mon
roe had a rather unusual experience
when she undertook TO repot fern
she had, and which she thought was
not growing as we'll as it should.
When she emptied the flower-pot,
much o'her establishment she found
live snake. about a foot long and
of a very light color. There were
roads all through the bottom of the
dirt, evidently made by the snake,
but it had never come to the top of
the soil. The plant had been pur-
chased last summer. and came ready
potted, this being the first time it
had been disturbed since Mrs. Mon
roe has had it. and it is presumed
that the reptile was taken up when
very small with the dirt in which
tine fern was set.

QUALITIES OF BRONZE GRASS
Starts Early In Spring, Grows Late in
Fall, Stands Drought Well and
Makes Good Pasture.

(By Q. o. CHURCHILL, North Dakota
Agricultural College.)
This grass is sometimes called bro
mus inermis, Austrian bronze or bro
mus. Its strong points are: 1t starts
early In the spring and grows late in
the fall. stands drought we'll. makes
an exceedingly fine pasture, 1t may be
used for hay, hard to kill out, roots
deeply. is very leafy, produces fair
amount of seed. is good on poor SOIL
as we'll as rich soil. The chief OBJ
lection to growing bronze grass is
that after growing 1t few years, it
does not produce large quantity of
hay and 1t Is rather difficult to break
up. Large quantities Of quack grass
have been introduced in bronze seed;
hence great caution should be used
in buying this In the future, whether
from farmer or seed company.

joyable evening. Landlord Ober-

FEEDING VALUE OF ALFALFA
Ono Of Very Best Foods for Dairy
Cow and Excellent for Stock
Most Dependable Crop.

tBy W. c. PALMER. Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
ton Of alfalfa has the same feed.
ing value as sixty bushels of oats.
Alfalfa will average two tons per
acre. This Is the equivalent OF 100
bushels OF oats. No land will average
100 bushels OF oats per acre and the
conditions have to be very favorable
to average sixty bushels This gives
some Idea of the amount OF food that
can be produced from an acre with
alfalfa.
Alfalfa is one of the very best
foods for the dairy COW. It is excel
lent for beef cattle. Hogs thrive on
both alfalfa hay and alfalfa pasture.
1t has been fed to horses with splen-
did results. when given In small
amounts. Even the hens will eat the
dried green leaves. 1t must be kept
In mind that alfalfa is roughage;
that 1t is bulky, which means that it
cannot always take the place Of
grain.
Alfalfa is one of the most depend
able crops. 1t requires less labor and
expense to produce than grain crops.
This In connection with the fact that
1t produces more food value than q
grain crop emphasizes the value of
alfalfa. At least few acres should
be kept In alfalfa on every farm.
These acres will prove the most
profitable and will be the best insur-
ance that supply OF food for the
stock will be on hand whatever the
season.

GRASSES AND FORAGE CROPS
Glover and Timothy Lack Hardness
Necessary to Withstand Severe
( Dakota Weather.

kBy l. r. WALDRON. Superintendent.
Dickinson satisfactory
! A very large portion of the settlers
fn North Dakota came from the states
to the east and south. With the re-
etriction of the native prairie, the
farmers almost instinctively turned
towards clover and timothy to use in
their pastures and hay lands. While
Fhese crops were generally successful
IN their home state. the same success
was not met with in North Dakota.
] The reason for this was two.fold:
clover and timothy have not the
hardness necessary to Withstand tho
Feyere winters OF North Dakota, often
times; but more especially, clover and
timothy are not able to resist the dry
weather of this state, and at the same
time make paying crops. In one
word. clover and timothy are not suffi.
ciently cold and droutt.resistant to be
crops of the first Importance in the
state.
There are, Of course, certain re.
stricted areas In the state where this
statement does not hold true. Aside
from the Red River valley one would
find timothy having the wider range
of adoption.
These two plants, june clover and
timothy. are recognized as standard.
though not necessarily superior, hay
and forage crops. The hay and forage
producing power of q state in large
part Is measured by It's ability to pro.
duce these two crops. or something
equally as good. II clover and TIM
othy cannot be grown satisfactorily In
North Dakota. what have we to sub
Rtitute for them2

More Pork In North Dakota.

It's certain that North Dakota will
raise and sell whole lot more pork
this year than before, according to
the opinion Of Secretary Cooper, of
the Better Farming Association.
There are 2sd entries in the pork
contests inaugnrated in the state
under the auspices Of the association.
These are mostly among the school,
boys; but there is a large direct
interest among the adult farmers.
Corn contests have been the vogue
for two years, and now the question
of something to eat the cornis being
taken up. At the South st. paul
stock-yards last fall &C, 600 hogs were
sold from North Dakota. This year
Secretary Cooper is confident the
number will be 10000.

Indeed, 1t Pays.

NOW comes the time to get busy
with the garden. says the Grand
Forks Times. The winter has gone,
and with the return of the warmth
Of spring comes a return of mans
primeval desire to delve into the
earth. The farmer drives his team
field, and with him the field crop
and garden are alike matters of
routine ana of business. But the
city or village man is not so EN-.
ployed. His activities during bust
ness hours are in the shop. the store.
the office. and. while he knows that
on the broad fields near by prepare
tions are being made for crop, this
does not touch him individually.
But the city or village man gets
back to the soil. The little back lot,
which would be a joke to the man on
the farm, contains unlimited POSSIBLE.
tiles for the man who owns it. Damp
and chilly at first, as the snow leaves
it it warns and me lows in the sun.
shine, and presently it is in condition
to be worked. 1t crumbles nicely
and as the warm air strikes it there
arises a fragrance which is possessed
by nothing in the world but fresh
earth.
Eagerly the man bends to his task.
Muscles softened by lack of exercise
are urged to their unaccustomed
task. There are aching joints and
stiffened backs; but custom adjusts
these things, and soon skill comes
with practice and the man prides
himself on being able to work
smoothly and rapidly. The surface
is smoothed, the rows are made, the
seed is dropped and covered, and ma
ture sets herself to work on the de-
velpoment of the little germ of life
into growing plant.
Presently the anxious watcher de-
tects little cracks in the ground
above where he knows his seed lies.
Then the first wee leaves push them
selves forth, the tiny stalks begin to
lengthen above the ground, and the
garden stuff is actually beginning
to grow.
Does it pay? If one were to
charge at market rates the price of
every hour of labor expended on the
garden and compute the cash value
of the product, probably it does not
pay. But it does pay to get out into
the open air? Does it pay to forget
for time the store and the office,
with their cares and perplexities?
Does it pay to get right back, occa-
sionally, to the earth from which we
sprang, and to observe again the
marvels which she works? If all
these things pay. then it pays for
the city or village man to have a
garden.

Only day or two ago, in a New
York dispatch in relation to the
monument to be erected in memory
of the Titantic victims, the assertion
was again made that the disaster to
the big Atlantic liner caused the
greatest loss of life upon the water
known in the worlds history" Two
weeks ago the Record contained an
article disputing this idea and call,
ing attention to the fact that the
loss of Union soldiers on the trans.
port Sultana, in April, 1860, was the
greatest disaster on the water ever
known. AS stated in the article, the
writer at that time was member of
the crew of naval vessel on the
Mississippi scouting between Mem.
phis and the mouth of the st. Fran
els river (Which should have read
between Memphis and the mouth of
White river, and had personal
knowledge Of the unusual manner in
which the transport was loaded with
human beings. Recently we pur-
chased the volumes of tie "The Pho
Geographic History of the Civil
War;" and were pleased to find in
one of the volumes a Photographic
reprint of the vessel, taken the day
before she was lost. One can scarce.
ly stick a pin in the picture without
touching standing passenger. The
loss on the Titanic, it will be remem-
bered, was about fifteen hundred.
The following article, taken from
the book above referred to, will give
a comparison of the loss of the two
vessels. and shows beyond dispute
that the lives lost on the Sultana
were in number several hundred
more than on the Titanic. Follow.
ing is the account of the explosion
of the Sultana:
"At the close of the war Camp
Fisk was established near Vicksburg
for the general exchange of prison
ers captured during the operations
Of the armies in the west. The fed
eral transport Sultana was busily en-
gagged during the spring of 1865 in
carryingthe released federal sol liers
from Vicksburg to the north, on
their way to their homes. In the
picture we see her at Helena (Ark. J
wharf. loaded with the last shipment
Of paroled Union soldiers, to the
number Of 2,l34. The same day,
April ~, 1865, she arrived at Mem
phis. While steaming along, some
ninety miles above that point, her
boilers suddenly exploded and she
sank almost Immediately. During
the war the levees on both sides Of
the river had been SO demolished
that all the bottom lands were in
undated, and at this point were
covered with water to width of
fifty miles. But few of the Inflated
Union soldiers managed to save their
lives. About 1000 of them persisted.
At Memphis the federal authorities
gathered all the floating bodies they
could. Many were found as far be-
low the scene of the disaster as Hell
