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

(By O. O.. CHURCHILL, North Dakota
Agricultural College.)
This grass Is sometimes called bro
mus inermis, Austrian bronze or bro
mus. It's strong points are: 1t starts
early in the spring and grows late in
the fall, stands drought well, makes
an exceedingly fine pasture, it may be
used for hay, hard to kill out, roots
deeply, is very leafy, produces a fair
amount of seed, is good on poor soil,
as well as rich soil. The chief OBJ
lection to growing bronze grass is
that after growing it a few years, it
does not produce a large quantity Of
hay and it 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 a farmer or a seed company.

WASH LACE CURTAINS
Water Must Be Squeezed Out by
Using the Hands.
II Frames Are Not Available They
May Be Dried by Pinninp to Sheet
Carefully Spread on Carpet
or a Large Rug.
'By MRS. w. C. PALMER.)

uBy MRS. w. c. PALMER.)
Take down the curtains, shake out
dust. Mend any broken places. Soak
over night in cold water to loosen up
the remaining dust and dirt. Cur
tains cannot be wrung by twisting as
1t breaks the delicate flbers so the
water must be squeezed out with the
hands. Drop each curtain into a good
soapy water just hot enough to bear
the hand. Work the curtains around
carefully with the hands, by knead-
ing and squeezing. Keep changing
the water until all the dirt Is res
moved, which often requires about
three waters. Put on to boil in cold
water. using plenty of soap. Allow to
come to a boil and boil up well. Add
enough cold water SO that the cur
tains can be lifted out Of the boiler
with the hands. Rinse thoroughly
through two waters, adding to the last
water bluing which has been strained.
Starch well with thick boiled starch
to which has been added a little blu
Ing, so 1t will look slightly blue, as
this helps to make them pure white
again. Stretch on curtain frames and
put in sun to dry. II frames are not
available, pin to a sheet which has
been spread smoothly on a large rug
or carpet. In pinning down the cur
tains, care must be used to have them
straight, the same length and width
and a pin in each scallop. Allow the
curtains to remain down until perfect
1y dry. If there are not too many cur
tains to n room, they a be pinned
down n on top Of another. Leave
doors and windows open to hasten the
drying process. After the curtains
are dry, remove pins and press out
pin holes with a warm iron.
Those who have ecru curtains and
find they are white after washed can
produce an ecru or cream color by
dipping the curtain in coffee, which
has been carefully strained first
through a cloth. Dip the curtains in
a weak solution first and then in a
stronger one to which the starch has
been added. This will insure an even
color. Never dip several Curtains at
once and allow to lay until all are
stretched on curtain frames or pinned
down, as streaks will form. Dip only
two at a time and when they have
been cared for, take two more. When
curtains are to be tinted, do not add
bluing to the last rinsing water, or
starch, as it will give the curtains a
dingy look.

Foundation of Japan.

Every Feb. II is celebrated in Japan
:hc great annual festival Of Kigenset.
81, the anniversary of the foundation
of the empire by The first emperor, jim
mu Tellno, Il. &. GO. The Japanese
reckon their present era as from this
date, and it was on Feb. II, 1889, that
Mutsuhito, the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-first Of the dynasty, promulgated
the present constitution of the empire
Of Japan, the fundamental principle Of
which is clearly stated in its first ar
ticle, 1.-The empire Of Japan shall be
reigned over and governed by q line Of
emperors unbrokcn from ages eternal"
The organization Of a parliament took
place in 1890, which in the Japanese
reckoning would be 2550 from Jimmu's
setting up his capital at Kashiwara, IN
the province Of Yamato, which is re-
garded by Japanese historians as the
beginning Of the empire.

WRITE FROM WATKINS, MONT.

Watkins. Mont. April 30th, 1918.
Mr.. M. l.. Ayers,
Dickinson. N. D.
Dear Sir:
Please change my post Office address
for the PRESS to our new address.
It is just ten days since we arrived
at our claim. We are sure we shall
like this country first rate.
We have met some very nice people
since we came here. Neiehbors are not
very numerous yet. but there are more
than We expected to find here.
The land here is rolling but the hills
are nearly all in ranges OF divides be-
tween the creeks. Between the divides
the land is quite level, which make ex-
cellent farms. As yet but little farm
ing is done on account of railroads be-
ing so far away.
We are thirty-six miles northwest of
Terry which is our nearest railroad sta
tion. We have made three trips to
Terry to haul out our goods. bringing
out two loads at a time. We 60 to
town on Monday and return Tuesday
and it will take three OF four weeks to
finish hauling. including lumber, wire,
etc., as we only make n trip a week.
Across the river north of Terry there
are some pretty Bad Lands scenes
through which the road passes that we
travel. My daughter has taken several
photos there and l am enclosing a
couple for you.
We have not received the last two
issues of the PRESS and miss them
very much. as getting the PRESS al
ways seems like getting a letter from
nome. We extend our best wishes to
all our old friends and the PRESS.
Respectfully.
