Cultivated Grasses.
As the News has stated before,
the time has come when many of
the farmers must plant some kind
of cultivated grass in their pas-
trures; especially the farmers who
own small farms in the post oak
timber, for it it too expensive to
have 30 acres to the cow when the
land is worth $15 to $30 an acre
and will soon be worth a good deal
more, while an acre of planted
grass will keep a cow.
While the Burmuda is without
doubt the best grass for this section,
there is a big majority of the peo-
ple who would not plant it under
any consideration. So the News
has been looking out for some other
grasses that might be a success.
A reliable Texas seed house has the
following to say about the follow-
ing grasses:
Orchard grass of exceptional
value for permanent pastures and
fer hay crops. It is very early,
coming in ahead of all the grasses,
recovers quickly after being cut,
and endures close cropping. If cut
when it comes into flower makes
excellent hay, but if allowed to
stand, however, it becomes hard
and pithy. It thrives well on all
soils.
Meadow Fescue (English Blue
Grass) one of the best of our natural
grasses. It is greedily eaten by
all kinds of stock, is very flattering
and makes excellent hay. It is
very hardy and succeeds in almost
all soils, but attains its greatest
ferfection in moist, rich, land.
Comes into use very eary and
again late in the fall.
Perennial, or English Rye Grass.
—A nutritious, permanent grass for
meadows and pasture, or for mix-
ing with other grasses for lawns.
Does well on sloping banks, as its
roots are fibrous and mat-like. It
especially is adapted for pastures,
as it will endure close cropping and
is of strong, quick and successive
after-gowth. It produces an abun-
dance of ^foliage, which remains
bright and green throughout the
season, and for this reason is also
much used for lawn grass mixtures.
It is also well adopted for per-
manent meadows and yields large
quantities of very nutritious hay;
well liked by all kinds of stock.
Prefers rich or moist soil, such as
will produce good corn. Sow 20
pounds to the acre.
The soil, climate and conditions
of the Southern States are so differ-
ent from those of the North that
different species of plants as well
as different methods of culture and
treatment, are necessary to success
in the making of meadows and pas-
tures. Although the growing sea-
son is almost continuous for some
species, there are none that will
make a vigorous growth throughout
the year, and permanent pastures
can be made only with mixtures of
several species which' make their
growth at diffreent seasons. The
kind of grass seed to make a per-
manent pasture ai;e the following:
Colorado Grass, Rescue Grass,
Brome, Italian Rye, Meadow Res-
cue Grass, Canadian Blue Grass,
English Rye Grass, Bromus Inerm-
is. These sown together will make
a fine permanent pasture and will
keep green the whole year round if
sown according to directions.
I would like to get a few far-
mers to try these different grases.
To seed an acre seed would cost
from two to four dollars. It is
not too late to plant this year. If ydu
have a good plot of land for this
purpose and wish to help in a
good cause see us about it.
The rough, broken, apparently
worthless portion of our lands will
some day be in money making gras-
ses and the men who lead in this
will be ahead of their neighbors.
The only way to find out the proper
grass for this country is through
trial. We have no experiment
station here to test these for us, we
have to do it ourselves, and'it takes
progrissive enterprising men to do
this work. Now, who are the
men? Are you one of them?
“Most ordinary colds will yield to the
simplest treatment,” says the Chicago
Tribune, “modcrative laxatives, hot
foot baths, a free prespiration and an
avoidance of exposure to cold and wet
after treatment.” While this treat-
ment is simple, it requires considerable
trouble, and the one adopting it must
must remain in doors for a day or two,
or a fresh cold is almost sure to be con-
tracted, instances pneumonia follows.
Is it not better to pin your faith to an
old reliable preparation like Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy, that is famous
for its cures of colds and can always be
depended upon? For sale by Abe Kuy-
kendall.
Lagunt Con.
Several persons have asked me
about the advisability of planting
the Laguna corn in instance where
they have not yet planted. I be-
lieve that the Laguna would be the
safest, though if you have a deep
sand land it is doubtful.
The heaviest yield last year was
Laguna, but the best yield of Lagu-
na was that planted early. When
the Laguna was planted later and
other corns were planted at
the same time the Laguna
far surpassed the other corns
in yield. The Leaguna seems to be
variable in- the length of time for
maturing. In some sections it ma-
tured quickly and here it took
longer. In this county it took
longer than the native varieties to
mature.
It may be that this year it will
be quicker. But with this corn it
is not necessary that it mature
quickly as it is a very strong
drouth resisting variety. It con-
tinued to grow during last years
short drouth while the native var-
ieties burned up. All quick ma-
turing varieties of corn have a short
yield, and the longer a corn takes
to mature, as a rule, the greater
the yield. The only object of a
quick maturing variety in this
climate is to get the corn made
before the summer drouth comes.
As the Laguna continues to
grow, or holds its own during the
drouth, there is no need that it
mature quickly.
If you wish to plant this corn
you can probably get seed from the
following: C. C. Cafvin; J. W.
Allen;..J. H. Davis; L. A.- Scott.;
John Pulse; J. A. Helton; J. W.
Baggett; J. A. Edmonson; A. G.
Smith; Hubert Smith; I. Stoddard;

Any lady reader of this paper will re-
ceive, on request, a clever “No-Drip’
Coffee Strainer Coupon privilege, from
Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. It is silver-
plated. very pretty, and positively pre-
vents all dripping of tea or coffee. The
Doctor sends it, with his new free book
on “Health Coffee” simply to introduce
this clever substitute for real coffee.
Dr. Shoop’s Health Coffee is gaining its
great popularity because of: First, its
exquisite taste and flavor; second, its
absolute healthfulness; third, its econo-
my—1 1-2 lb. 25c; fourth, its con-
venience. No tedious 20 to 30 minutes
boiling. “Made in a minute” says Dr.
Shoop. Try it at your grocer’s, for a
pleasant surprise. Brown & Spivey.
