We isually think of them as existing in ntr temperate zones only, because here we have the perennial pastures and meadows. They are. however, to be found so far north that the soil Is frozen under them during the greater part of the year, while they are also common to parts of the South where the frost is never known. Even the mountain tops that are clothed with I |>erpetual snow have Just below the snow line their carpets of poas that grow and bloom through a brief period every year. The grasses push hard against the eternal snows. Iln* Man,«, The following simple remedies are offered as cures for mange in hogs: I.

The bureau divides the 258 commod- it’es of the country into nitre groups . aud farm produce showed the highest increase in price attained by any of the groups. And the encouraging feat­ ure of the report is that the panic of last year did not affect prices of farm stuff very much, in fact, taking every­ thing sold, the farmer got more money in 1907 than the average of ten years before. Som farmers may not know this, but It is true, because Mr. Powderly's bu­ reau says so. Aside from the musty figures of a departmental report, the fact is evident that the farmers of this country are more prosjierotis than they have ever been. It Is shown in better houses, bigger bams, fatter bank ac­ counts. fewer mortgages, better ma- chinery, and. more important than any­ thing else, higher standard of living for the family. There is one small fly in the oint­ ment. however, and that Is the fact that while farm produce has been rais­ ing In price, clothing, implements, lum­ ber and building materials, house fur­ nishing goods and some other things farmers must buy have gone up. too. But ns these commodities have not kept pace with the advance In the price of things the farmers have to sell they may on the whole feel that they are gaining ground and that agricul­ ture is not to be despised. * < Old Favorites Hard Time« (unie Anitin No J if More.

Quack grass is sometimes known as Johnson grass, and also by other names, it Is useless to attempt to get rid of it after the land has been plant­ ed to a crop.
