Moscow j iMuoh interest is being manifested in thf posui bility of growing grasses andj (lovers in re uod aoous juousow and other 10 i. n of Northern Idaho. This m itter is of special interest at this time, for many new settlers are coming into this state fr m the older states, where thece crops constitute a very important pait of farm produc tion. Onr experience exterdj ct everal seasons and we thought it might be of profit to seme to know what is being done in this direction on the experi ment station farm. We have undertaken to establish seeding of clovers and grasses on a por tion of the farm and herewith give a brief account of the results of our wotk during the past season Last April we plowed up ten acres ot land on which wheat was grown the year before, and fitted it for the seed by harrowing twice with a fine toothed smoothing harrow. We then sowed broadcast the following mixture, cov ering six acres, leaving the balance un til Inter, on account of the ground being in a lower poition of the field and too wet to wo k. ' - . 40 pound common red clover. ( pounda Alsike clover. " $5 pounda orchard grass. ( pounds meadow faacue. 6 pounds English rye Brass. 10 poi nd timothy. . 4 pounds tell meadow oat crass. This made ltt pounds ot the mixture per acre. The balance of the field was sown to the same combination, at the same rate per acre, except eight pounds of alfalfa seed was added to the mixture in place of the alsike clover and tinsothy seed. No nurse crop was sown with the grass mixture. - And here is where many farmers make a mistarke, by sow ing wheat, oats of barley with the grass or clover. It Is the experience of the best farmers now that it is not wise to sow a crop of grain with the seeding. The more rapidly growing grain crop takes the moisture away from the tender grass, and clover plants, and when the grain is cut the hot sun burns these tender plants up. The wild oat which is so abundant in the soil of this locality is quite enough of a nurse crop, and e m3 attention should be given to cutting this out of the way when it reaches the proper stage. We cut two crops of wild oats from our field. The first crop made a fair yield of hay. In cutting the wild oats the mowing machine ehould be set high enough eo that it will. not out the alover or young grass. The last of November, when the yield was last examined, there was a fine stand of clover and of all the grasses own, so far as we were able to detect them. Much of the clover headed out last season making a growth one foot high or more. Unless last season was an exception ably favorable one there is no reason why clovers and grasses should not be grown in the hill lands in this section. The yield of wheat will not be less when the farmers learn to grow these crops which restore fertility, and the possibilities of diversified farming, with stock as an important factor, will bs greatly strengthened. VARIETIES OF FRUIT. ' Washington Professor Makes Study of Each Region. : v Br J. I Ashlock, Washing-ton State Collate, Pullman. Daring the past year numerous in quiries have come to the - State college department ol hortioulture asking ques tions which generally can b summed up in the one question: "What kinds ot fruit will do best where 1 live?" This class of quiries has given the staff of the state experiment station consid erable trouble, since, as stated by Pro fessor Thornber, head of the department of hortioulture, unless the staff mem bers know exactly the climatic and soil conditions of (he region from which the question came, erroneous information may be given, leading the seeker for in formation to plant trees not at all adapted to his region. - "Now we have solved the problem," aid Professor Thorher, recently. "Dur ing the last year we have made a care ful survey of the state with reference to the particular varieties of fruits which are adapted to each region. We have classified the lists into 'Western Wash ington,' 'Inland Valleys, and 'Upland Valleys.' Inhis list is included ap ples, pears, oberriei, peaches, apricots, plums, raspberries, prunes, blackber ries, gooseberries, currants, strawber ries and nuts. Early, medium early and lata varieties are given where it is necessary. We submit these lists to all inquirers now, and from a dozen or so good vareties of apples, pears, etc., he may choose as he likes, according to the adaptability of the fruit for his region. "Another experiment we have in hand is one in which we have selected sixty-five good varieties of apples from the eight hundred or so varieties In the state experiment station orchard, and are sending two varieties of each of the sixty-five varieties to ten farmers or fruitzrowers ef Washington. We wish to determine by this experiment how ea -h variety will do in the particular region in which It is tried, and in this way we hope to collect much valuable data concerning the possibilities foi new varieties of aoDles in this region."

The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each' to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very "engine " of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it io to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind ; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature's blood purifier and tonic ; made entirely of healintr. cleansinz roots and herbs.
