Question.— Plea..*: give mo all the in
formation you can in regard to rescuo
grass?
Answkk.— Rescue graas is probably
the finest grass for winter grazing, and
the moat prolific grass of southern lati
tudes The grass requires a rich loamy
•oil, and comes up in September, grow
ing rapidly during even the the coldest
winter. It affords a rich pasturage of
the most succulent stems and leaves
from Dec. 1, to May 1, or it may bo
mowed for hay two or three times dur
ing April and May, and then allowed to
mature a crop of seed, which in gather
ing will shatter, or leave enough seed
on the groudd to reseed the land, so
that one sowing, if properly treated,
will suffice. After mowing two or three
times, from 100 to 150 bushels of seed
may be made on an acre. The seed may
be sown from June to February.
There are some peculiarities about
this grass seed. They will not germi
nate in .summer. The colder the weather
in winter, the faster it grows, unless
the stems have commenced jointing,
when a freeze will kill it down, only to
come out again, however, greatly in
creased in thickness. When not mowed,
the grass grows slowly, but when it is
mowed or grazed upon, the growth is
hastened. The plats upon which the
grass has been sown can be broken up
from June 1 to 15, fertilized and sown
in peas, or planted in corn and field
beans. By this method the grass will
not only be improved, but splendid crops
of peaviue hay, or of corn and beaus can
be made. The seed that are left on the
ground in May will lie dormant until
the cool nights in September.
The seed are quoted by seed men at
Sfi cents per pound, but about 100
pounds may be obtained from Dr. A.
M Winn & Son of Lawreuceville, Ga,
at 15 cents per pound, or 12 cents per
pontui if as much as 10 pounds are
bought; also 150 pounds can be obtained
from Mr. J. T. Baxter of Suwauee, Ga.,
at the same price. The foregoing in
formation is furnished largely by Mr.
J. T. Baxter, who has successfully
grown Rescue grass.—State Agricult
ural Department.
NO GREAT CHANGE SHOWN.
Municipal Klcclioim In Four states
With Varying Result*.
Washington, April 4.—Returns from
municipal elections held iu Michigan,
Ohio, Montana and Kansas show no
marked change in the political complex

bly so in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Sagi
naw, Jackson and Kalamazoo, Mich.

A NEW SENATOR.
A Typical iXpw Style) Ilcpntillenn
■\Vho Succeeds Vilen.
God said, “Let there be light," and
there was light McKinley said, “Let
there be a senator. *' and there was a
senator. Mr. Webster said in effect in
his letter of declination. “Our noble
president demands that we stop our
foolishness and elect a senator " and a
senator was elected p and. q The long
agony : s over, and the disgraceful con
test is ended. Tlu- victors have retir 1
with the spoils, and the dead have been
hurriedly buried. Hayward is elected,
and the other ten candidates have gone
away to monrn For two months the
people's time and money have been
wasted in a disgraceful strife for office
Nearly a dozen men have been frantic
ally striving for one office, and the dead
level of mediocrity has not been broken
by a single one of the candidates There
was a time when the Republican party
selected its greatest man and placed
him in the senate, but that time has
passed long ago. and it is now considered
good form for every trading politician
who can pack a caucus or bribe a voter
to become a candidate for tbe highest
representative body in the world.
Out of a dozen candidates the most
subservient railroad tool was selected
and placed where he could do the most
good to tbe corporations. The B. and
M. railroad in Nebraska has a senator
now as well as tbe Union Pacific, and
uone of the other trusts or corporations
will have anything to fear from Hay
ward. The people of Nebraska no longer
have a representative in the senate of
the United States For over two months
the Republicans of four states have
been flaunting their dirty linen in the
face of a disgusted people. In Califor
nia, Delaware. Pennsylvania and Ne
braska a bitter fight for spoils has been
carried on No other party has ever
shown such greed for office, and no other
party has ever dared to put forth such
insignificant men Greatness has de
parted from the Republican side of the
senate of tbe United States never to re
turn Chase and Sumner, Seward and
Trumbull are gone, but Quay and Platt,
Hanna and Elkins are still with us. and
they have come to stay.—Omaha Non

Municipal Gaa.
Richmond has had a municipal
gas plant since 1851 It is now supply
ing consumers with gas atsl per 1,000
The people are so well pleased with
their public gas service that they have
secured an act of the legislature prohib
iting the sale of the plant unless by
authority of a popular vote. The actual
cost of making and distributing the
gas is 73 cents per 1,000 feet, the city
treasury making-a profit of 27 cents per
1,000 feet During the 30 years from
1867 to 1807 the Richmond public gas
works have yielded a net profit of sl,-
174.855.29 over and above all the costs
of maintenance and production. This
amount exceeds the total cost of the
original construction and of all exten
sions since made by uearly $400,000.

DENIAL FROM SuN. HANNA.
Never Had Anything to Do With the
Getting ot Army Contracts.
AsniNGTON, April 3.—ln a uote to
the Associated Press from Thomasville,
Ga , Senator Mark Hanna says:
“I see iu the newspapers a report that
one Major Leo has attempted to drag
my name into the case by questions
which conveyed the impression that I
was present at some conference where
beef contracts were discussed.
•T wish to say that I never had any
thing to do with any army contract, nor
even exchanged a word with any official
of the war department on that subject.
“I make this statement in order that
it may have the same publicity as was
given to the contemptible insinuations
of this man Lee. ”

African Limbless
Cotton Seed Free....
Anyone who sends one dollar for a year’s subscription to the At
lanta Semi-Weekly Journal can get postpaid one pound of the cele
brated African Limbless Cotton Seed without charge.
A pound of these seed will plant one-fifth of an acre, and with
proper attention should yield enough to plant a crop.
The seed were tested in a list of thirty varieties by the Georgia
Experiment Station and a bulletin recently issued by Director Red
ding shows that the African Limbless Cotton produced 70 pounds
more per acre than any other variety, and 161 pounds more per acre
than the average of thirty leading varieties.
The African Limbless Cotton produced 780 pounds of lint per acre,
which is nearly four times the average on the farms of the South.
This shows what high fertilization and thorough culture will do
with these excellent Seed. The value of the product, counting cotton
at 5 cents and seed at 13 cents a bushel, was over $45 per acre. The
cost of fertilizers used was $4.77 per acre.
The Journal does not guarantee results, but the result of the test
at the Experiment Station makes it worth a farmer’s while to test
these seed when he can get them for nothing.
The Journal brings you the NEWS OF THE WORLD TWICE A
WEEK with hundreds of articles of special interest about the farm,
the household, juvenile topics, etc., and every southern farmer
should have the paper.
You don’t have to wait a week for the news, but get it twice as l
often as you do in the weeklies, which charge the same price. ,
