GRASS CULTURE IN VIRGINIA
Report of Interesting Experiments
Made With Various Hay Crops
Lime Increases Yield.

Among the many reports from ex-
pertinent stations received by the de-
partment of agriculture is one of tests
made by the Virginia station in grass
culture. The report shows that or
chard grass and clover mixed averaged
2,460 pounds per acre in yield of hay,
as compared with 1875 pounds from
and clover mixed yielded $40 pounds,
as compared with AGO pounds of
timothy and red-top, 1907 pounds Of
red-top alone and 1857 pounds Of
timothy alone. Spring and August
seedlings yielded 1.S6 and 81 tons per
acre respectively of mixture of clio
yer, timothy and red-top.
An application of one ton of burnt
lime and 300 pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre was followed by an av-
erage hay yield of 4,402.5 pounds per
acre. Applications of 800 pounds of
nitrate of soda and one ton of burnt
lime produced yields of 2,127 pounds
and 1859 pounds respectively as COM
pared with 2,215.5 pounds on the check
plat, per acre. The same applications
alone were followed by yields of 1875,
2,055 and 1850 pounds Of hay per acre
respectively.
Applications of (one) 100 pounds of
muriate of potash and $50 pounds of
dried blood and (two) 100 pounds of
muriate of potash, 200 pounds of acid
phosphate, and $50 pounds of dried
blood were followed by yields of 3.12
and 3.1S tons of cured hay per acre.
The following year it was found that
the highest yield followed an applica.
ton of 200 pounds of 16 per cent acid
phosphate. Slightly increased yields
also followed applications of one ton
of burnt lime and 100 pounds of nj.
trate of soda per acre.

Slippers of Linen.

A new idea in bedroom slippers is
to make them of linen. These are de.
cidedly comfortable on the feet, wear
well and can be washed easily. They
can be made from plain or embroid-
cred linen. just little heavier than
you would use for doilies or center
pieces. Buttonhole around the top in

the other hand, holes through the
posts weaken them and therefore this
method is, in general, unsatisfactory.
The simplest, easiest, and cheapest
way of fastening a wire fence to a
concretl post is by encircling the post
with a wire one size less than the
corresponding wire in the fence prop
er and by twisting this wire around
the strand of the fence wire, and the
free end is then carried around the
post and twisted on the other side to
the same wire. The latter method
is known as the Western Union
twist" Either plan is good, but care
must be taken to draw the fastening
wire tight, or else stock trying to get
through the fence may loosen it.

Hog cholera is severe again in many
large districts. Get rid of the lice on
your hogs. DR.. A. T. Peters veteri-
marian of national reputation, has had
a wide experience with hog cholera
He says that there is much smaller
loss from cholera in those herds that
are free from lice When hog is
lousy the lice make him unthrifty
and out of condition and he is easily
susceptible to disease. The weak,
lousy hog gets the cholera and lice
spread the disease from him to the
hogs that sleep with him.
Feed is high and is likely to be
higher A lousy hog is unthrifty and
does not make the gains from his
feed that are made by hogs free from
lice Many herds of young shotes are
not making money from their feed
because they are lousy. Lice retard
fattening and injure the health of
breeding sows. Get rid of the lice.
An easy way to get rid of lice when
they are not too thick on hogs is to
set a number of short posts In the
yard or field where the hogs run and
wrap these posts with old gunny
sacks. Once a week soak the sacks
with either crude oil or coal oil and

MEANING OF THOROUGHBRED
Word In Strictest Term Means Eng.
Iish Race Horse-Pure-Bred Is
What Is Often Meant.

The more common OF the terms
used to indicate lineage are thorough
bred, pure-bred, cross-bred, grade and
scrub. Thoroughbred in its strictest
term means the English race horse.
This was the original use of the word.
The term pure-bred is used synony-
mously with full-bred. 1t indicates
animals of well-defined breeding with
out admixture of other blood. In
speaking of pedigreed Shorthorns, for
instance, one should not say, thor
oughbred," but pure-bred.
II you want to start an argument
among the fanciers just call a Per
cheron stallion, Jersey bull or a Leg

MANNER OF FASTENING WIRE
Simplest, Easiest and Cheapest way
Is by Encircling Post With Wire
of Smaller Size.

There are numerous methods OF at
taching wire fencing to concrete
posts. Some makers place staples or
wire loops in the green concrete; 9TH
ers make holes in the posts. The
former method is n. desirable be-
cause the fastener cannot be located
exactly where the wire of the fencing
will come when the post is set in the
ground; then, too, the fastener will
eventually rust or break off and will
thus injure the looks of the post. On

ALL BULLETS MISS HIM

Old Count Won Haeseler, the re-
tired German field marshal, is playing
a unique role in this war. Some
twenty years ago military men, both
German and foreign, were accustomed
to look to him as leader of Germany's
armies in the event of a war, as he
had acquired a great reputation as a
strategist. But the war did not come
in time to give him his great opportu-
nifty. He had fought through three
wars-against Denmark in 1864,
against Austria in 1866, and against
France in 1870, but he was then too
young to attain high rank, and when
the present war broke out he was too
old to command an army.
Though he was approaching his
seventy-ninth year, he went to the
kaiser, 1t is said, and begged permits
sion to accompany the troops into
France, pleading humorously that he
had lost a rib there in 1870 which he
wanted to find.
