given the job of painting the in

that they are giving him good
painting. , Two or three of the
voting men are expected to take
the work of painting the outside.
It is a pleasure to call atten

taught and trained to be valuable
members of society. In a won

Billion Dollar Grass.
The Rochelle New Era says
that Elder D. W. Taylor has
about one-q.uarter of an acre
planted in what is known as Bil
lion dollar grass and expects to
gather several tons of fodder
and seed thereon. This grass
is said to be the most marvel
ous grower ever seen in this
count) y. It is like oats,
only the seeds are differeit.
This is the first time Mr. Tay
lor has ever planted any of the
grass, and is so well pleased
with the product that he will
plant a large acreage next year,
and hopes that other farmers
wdl see it to their interest to
plant also.
The grass is said to produce
a hay crop in from six to ten
w eeks, anywhere; and if sown
the latter part of April, will
be ready to cut the middle of
July, for hay“* attaining the
height of (according to richness
of soil) from 5 to feet. Hors
es mules, cows, hogs and chick
ens are very fond of it, and will
eat nothing else when they can
get it.
