the timothy field lies in the L1‘f.l."nll‘.‘.'
it receives after it has been seeder:
"down. As a rule, it is not a diflicul
matter to get a good stand of grass.
as toget good returns and still keep
the sod in a healthy, growing cordi-
tion. In all dry situations timoihy
develops bulbous thickenings of greater
which become filled with water and en-
able the plants to survive drouthy per-
iods. If the cutting takes place too
:early in the season, these bulbs do not
:Abecome sufiiciently developed and the
plants are more easily influenced by
the hot, dry weather which often pre-
vails during summer and autumn.
Again, the conditions may be such that
a late cutting will do serious damage to
the sod. '
Experience has shown that ordinar-
-lly pasturing has a bad effect upon the
vitality of the timothy meadow. The
trampling of the stock destroys the
.bulbs of the plants and packs the
.ground, rendering it more liable to
.bake.
Since most of the nourishment which
this grass draws from the soil comes
from near the surface, the meadow
should be given a. tOp-dressing, every
.year or two.
It is a frequent thing for the timothy
.meadow to become “hidebound.” This
usually occurs in meadows that have
been in use for some years, and is due
-mainly to‘two causes. First, through
insufficient cultivation, the driving
rains and hot summer suns pack and
bake the ground so hard that the
plants can grow only with great diffi-
culty; second; as the plants become ol-
der, a great many offshoots are devel-
oped, each with its bulbous base, and
all are crowded together in such a
small area that none can make a satis-
factory growth. The remedy for such
a condition of things is to give the
meadow a good top dressing in early
spring, and follow this with a heavy
.harrow, thoroughly tearing up the sod.
This breaks up the crust and allows
the soil to absorb water more readily,
while it tends to lessen'the loss by
evaporation. It also separates the
bunches of timothy plants and allows
them~ to develop properly. If the
meadow is top-dressed and harrowed
often enough, this “hidebound” condi-
tion will be avoided.
Many farmers sow also a small quan-
tity of redtOp with their timothy. This
grass fills in the spaces between the
bunches of timothy, and hence a more
even sod is produced. It is not a good
,plan to use too much redtop, however,
or it will crowd out the timothy, as it
is very hardy and spreads more rapidly
than the latter.—Agriculturist.
Efl‘ect of Ensiling on Food.
The logical conclusion of the large
amount of experimenting on this sub-
ject at the Ohio and other stations is
that the process of ensiling adds noth-
ing to the nutritive value of the feed-
ing stuff. It does add to its palatabil-
ity, however, when the method has
been prOperly employed, and in conse-
quence a larger proportion of the cost
of this method. It is not considered
any greater than that of the ordinary
method of cutting and husking and
stacking the stover, and not so great
as cutting, husking and stacking and
grinding the grain, and certainly all
this must be done if the food materials
are to be thoroughly preserved and
made as completely available as they
are in well sured silage, .
Valuable Cover Crop.
At the Cornell station, crimson clov-
er was sown August 1 of last year.
The crop grew luxuriantly and by Oc-.
tober there was a heavy growth. To
determine the value of this as com-
pared with other clovers, plats of crim—
son clover, common red clover and
mammoth clover were sown side by
side in the fall of 1896. All wintered
clover made far more rapid growth in
fall than did the others. All wintgreil
well, but in the Spring the freezing
and thawing killed nearly all of the
crimson clover. A determination of
the nitrogen collected in the tops and
roots of the different varieties show—
ed that crimson clover was the best
for this purpose, as 156 lbs. per acre
were found. Mammoth clover was sec—
ond with 1.46 lbs. while red clover was
last with 103. It will be seen that the
crimson clover served its purpose .as
a cover crop and for late fall pasture
leaving in the ground enough fertiliz-
ing material to pay the expense of
seeding.
The Fli’uct nf Food.
The effect of food is an important
factor but not always appreciated in its
influence on the quality of the milk.
A specific breed possesses certain cap—
abilities,
.dependent in large measure upon the
food supplied. That is, while food
may not exert a positive and immedi-
ate influence in improving the quality
of the milk, because of the inherent
characteristics of the animal to make a
produce of a definite composition, still
' unless the animal is supplied with suffi-
cient food, she cannot reach her nor—
mal milk giving capacity.
Back Pastures.
, Turn the back pastures into wood~
land and confine the cattle where they
will keep feed down sweet and tender.
Early cut hay from rich land is indis—
pensable to the successful dairyman.
It contains more nitrogen, whicl
means meat and milk. Fodder make:
muscle and milk. More corn should hr
raised for ensilage and should be reed

That California Catarrh Cure cures

Here’s what one of them says, only
one, but remember, there are others:
Mrs. A. M. Bedford,2-T Stuart avenue,
Norwalk, says: “Several members of
my family have used the California Ca-
tarrh Cure,which was obtained at Plais-
ted’s drug store, and we all think that
it is a fine medicine. I find it very
good to clear the head, and my daugh-
ter Grace has found it is invaluable in
curing headaches, from which she has
suffered fora long time, never having
found anything that benefited her as
this has done. My husband has also
used it for catarrh in the head and
throat, and we are all willing to speak
a good word for C. C. C., for we know
it is good. ” ‘

THE Vlfii‘i—GAMPAIGN.
:1 Reported Trnatv Hetween the Mahdi
and. Great Britain.
Paris. Sept. 22.—Le Figaro today an—
nounces that a treaty has been conclud-
ed between Slatin Pasha. representing
Great Britain. and Zobein Pasha. rep—
resentirg the Mahdi, by which the lat—
ter will not oppose the advance of the
Anglo—Egyptian expedition as far as
Khartum. and Osman Digna’s forces
will remain at the Bara river as long as
Great Britain desires.
The following are said to be the con-
ditions upon which this treaty was
signed: The Mahdi remains king of
Khartum and Zobein Pasha continues
to exercise the functions of governor
of Darfur under the. protection of Great
Britain.
Finally Le Figaro asserts that the
mission of Mr. James Rennell Rodd to
the king of Abyssinia obtained a prom—
ise of neutrality upon the part of King
'Menelek by guaranteeing the western
frontier of Abyssinia in the names of
both Great Britain and the Mahdi.
Dutch Regency Soon to End.
The Hague, Sept. 22.—The s'tates ger—

A lliysterions Murder.
Las Vegas, N. M., Sept. 22.—-News has
just reached here of the discovery of
the dead body of a man named Garcia

llIassachusetts Life Association.
Boston. Sept. 22.—The receivers of the
Massachusetts Benefit Life association
will file in a day or two with the court
an inventory of the assets and liabili-
ties of the defunct corporation. The as-
sets will show a material reduction over
the. sum popularly supposed to be the
property of the company. and they will
not amount to much more than $400,000.
