fees for n coiiti'lliutltiii were demanded

always pointed out when inentlonlng it
price that he meant guineas and not
sovereigns, or, rather, their equivalent
In Austrian coin. In 11MJ1 he wrote
to a music firm at Leipzig: "Now the
unpalatable business part Is done with,
I wish things could he managed differ
ently iu this world. There should be
only one music publisher to whom the
artist might take his work, knowing
that be might ask a fee according to
his requirements. As it is, lie 1ms to
he partly a tradesman. (Jood heavens,
how different and unpalatable this is."
I'.ut this pious wish was never fulJllled,
and Koethoven had to remain "half a
tradesman-' to the Mid.
As a suggestion of Inw dedications
are occasionally made, the following
letter, which Iteethtnon wrote to the
same publisher iu 1S02 from Vienna, is
interesting :
"The lady in quest bin can have a
sonata ami I will do my best to carry
out her (esthetic ideas. The price is
guineas (ducaten), and for this she
may retain the sonata fur a year as
her prni'.te property, but not for pi:l d
cation. At the end of the year the
sonata becomes my property that is
to say, I have the right to publish it,
and if she thinks it an honor she may
ask to have the work dedicated to
her."
This, from the business point of
view of the lady in question is surely
a tempting offer. At least, so the art
patroness ol to-day would th'n'i if she
had a chance of suggesting to a Iiee
tUoven the "lesthetic idea"' for a so
nata; to retain such treasure in her
own hands for a twelvemonth, and
thereafter have it dedicated to her -and
all for guineas!

BEST FORAGE PLANT.
Washington State Experiment Statiot
' Makes Extensive Investigation.
f
In order to discover a forage plant
jvhich will grow and yield profitable
crops in the so-called "dry section;'
of the state, the staff of the Statt
College Experiment Station has car
ried on extensive investigations at
both the local and sub-stations during
the past year. Scores of forage plantt
have been olanted and tested, and at
the present stage of this experimenta
tion, it is known that milo maize.
Jerusalem corn, artichokes, Kaffir
corn, ana amber cane corn are anions
the best adapted plants for "dry
farming."
The work of the sub-station t Con
ncll has been carried along four lines:
First, there has been an effort to de
termine the best method of handling
summer fallow, including a study of
the effect of certain tools; second,
there has been a study of the adapta
bility of various well-known dry lano
forage plants to central Washington
conditions; third, a study of the effect
of growino- a cultivated crop, in place
of the summer fallow, upon the wheat
crop; fourth, there has been a study ot
the adaptability and methods of seed
ing of well-known dry land grasses,
and leputnis.
Although the past season has been
an exceptionally dry one, and the re
sults could not be expected to show
forage crops in as favorable a light as
the average season would, yet several
olants showed up very promising.
Among these were Jerusalem corn,
milo maize, Kaffir corn, artichokes
and amber cane corn. Another prom
ising one was a small, early maturing
variety of dent corn.
Other plants tried were cow peas,
soy beans, chick pea, common millet,
Japanese millet, Hungarian millet,
golden millet, common field peas,
kale, rape, popcorn and flint corn.
On September 10 the Milo maize
showed itself to be the best drouth
resistcr. This plant grows very simi
lar to corn, except that it scatters a
great deal more, and is more leafy.
Jerusalem corn and Kaffir corn are
both very similar in appearance to
ommon corn, being about midway
etween common corn and Milo maize
f.n bushiness. Their seed, however, is
borne in a large and fairly compact
head, or bunch on the end of the stalk.
They yield quite heavily in most
places, and judging from this year's
experience, would mature a fair quan
tity of seed at Connell, which makes
very useful feed for poultry ami
swine.
The difference in the showing of
Jerusalem and Kaffir corn and Milo
maize was quite noticeable. While
the leaves of the two former plants
did not dry up, the inner plants of the
plots were about one-third smaller in
size than the plants on the outer edge.
This showed that their growth had
jeen materially checked by the short
age of moisture. The trial leaves re
nder the impression that Jerusalem
'id Kaffir corn are but poorly adapt
d to central Washington conditions.
Dent corn made almost a perfect
stand, but the growth was scanty, and
only a small quantity of nubbins ma
tured. The present season's growth could
not be considered a proved crop, but
corn of the same strain grown on land
adjoining the experiment station last
vear was a fair crop, and may be taken
as a fairly good demonstration of
what could be done with dent corn
on any good, dry land farm. The
teed, however, would have to be
id.nnted to the locality.
The flint corn and the popcorn
nade a good stand, and matured well,
mt their growth was so small that
.hey could not be given consideration
n comparison with dent corn. The
irtichokes made an excellent stand,
,nd showed remarkable ability to om
'inue their growth throughout the cn
irc drv season.
Whether it would pay to utilize
.rain land for the growth of these
oots is an open question. The other
dants that were used made so light a
growth this season that further tri-i'
will be necessary before they can be
ronsidercd as even promising.
Of the non-cultivated forage phints.
the most promising was the alfalfa
Pliis made a fairly good stand ami
ontinued to grow slowly throughout
'.he entire season. On September in
:t stood about eighteen inches or two
fect high. As the first season is needed
to establish alfalfa, this is considcrci
in excellent showing. The alfalfa was
seeded with a grain drill, which al
lowed the seed to be conducted down
into the shoes of the drill, so that it
was deposited in moist soil. It is
questionable whether a good stand
could be secured by broadcast seed
iPg and harrowing in.
Hairy vetch made a poor stand, but
a promising growth. The tenacity
with which they cling to the soil when
once established makes it rather "ite
tiouablc whether it would pay to seed
.'in d grain land to vetch. tiu;c.
ocrmancnt pasture is desired.
Of the grasses, the most promising
was the slender wheat grass; smooth
bronie grass. Neither of these grasses,
however, showed up as well as the
alfalfa. Another season's growth is
needed to determine anything definite
regarding their production. Other
grasses tried were meadow fescue, or
chard grass, tall oat grass. None of
these grasses made a show worthv of
mention. Since the past season has
been exceptionally dry, they will be
given another trial.
The only suggestion's the station
has to make to farmers regarding
these forage crops are that alfalfa.
bronie grass, acclimated dent corn.
Milo maize. Jerusalem corn and Kaffir
corn arc worthv ot trial m a small
vav. The farmer had better learn
w to handle them, however, before
trying them on a lare scale.
