May to the end of June this gru-s is superior for fattening stock and for pro-1 elucing milk. If allowed to stand much | after this timo, it loses some of itsnn-l tritiaas<|uulities but it turned into hay by proper methods it makes excellent winter feeding. This grass has its peculiarities. It will not thrive, x>r even grow, on soil thoroughly irrigated. 11 the soil is rich, then it will thrive. With cave it will flourish for years, yielding annual crops of pasturage ot hay. It is hardier than most of our cultivated grasses and will grow whore they will not and will even succeed the buffalo grass, where tho latter has been crowded out. The buffalo grass is rapidly being crowded out of the soil, like the animals after which it was named, and in the course of another half century it will nearly have disappeared, unless something is done to cheek its destruction. It will thrive on soils that are too dry for blue stem. This grass is too shori for hay and will only Is. useful for green manuring and for pasturing. The mesquite grass is a great winter feeding prairie grass that has kept millions ot cattle from starving in the past when the winters were severe. Nature cures this grass. Frost cures it on the ground, so that it retains its nutritious qualities all winter. The grass produces round spike lets one foot high, with tops well loaded with oily seeds. These seeds an very fattening and nutritious. At the base of each tuft is a mass of fine flat
leaves.
These three grasses have in the past supported the immense herds of wild and tamo cattle in the west, and even today millions of acres of rich land arc covered with one or the other. But in many places they have totally disap peared, and coarse, worthless weeds have taken their places. From experiments made in the past it has been demon strated that with a little proper attention wonderful results can ho obtained from these grasses in any part of the country. Their rank, luxuriant and yet nutritious growths must in tho future he hotter appreciated. In some respects they are greatly superior to many of the cultivated grasses. In parts of the east they have been introduced with good results, and with a little study as to tin it needs and requirements they can be made more generally valuable than they are today, writes a correspondent ol American Cultivator.

Everybody knows how difficult it is even for expert lapidaries to cut diamonds, not only on account of their hardness, but by reason of their struci ture and veins, which uinst be well deI fined before tho cutter begins his work. I M. Antoine, one of the best known jewelers of Antwerp, has, after many fruitless attempts and three years of arduous
and patient toil, at last succeeded in j Today h Local Markets, cutting a whole ring out of a block of ; t ,„. iunnkr Times diamond. The ring is perfectly round , (V , { W A11 , n Art , Ull
