Quality of Brome Grass.

A correspondent in the Farmers’ Voice says: “I am becoming quite enthusiastic over brome grass. In spring it is ready for pasture about a month earlier than bluestem. It keeps good through the hot and dry weather and until late In th* winter if not covered by snow. Brome grass alone makes better hay than timothy. It Is hardy and will stand for many years. It to said that it is readily killed out if plowed over in midsummer. Its good qualities both as hay and pasture gram, ease of starting and hardiness will be the means of making it the pasture gress of this country.
