principal spring food.s upon many of the 

 semiarid ranges of the southwest. Stock 

 fattens rapidly upon it, and the gain 

 is good, hard tallow, not easily lost 

 through shipment. Many stockmen have 

 endeavored to introduce it upon their 

 ranges, and in most instances their ef- 

 forts have failed. The cause of this 

 failure is now said by the Bureau of 

 Plant Industry to lie in the fact that 

 the seed sold by seed firms seldom has 

 over ten per cent germinative power, and 

 that nine-tenths of the seed sown is 

 worthless.

ENGLISH VIEV ON SWEET PEAS. 



We are now getting in the sweet pea 

 Bced crop, and it needs no note of mine 

 to emphasize the fact that the crop is 

 going to be short, says a writer in tlie 

 Horticultural Trade Journal, The plants 

 have not all finished growing, but this 

 does not serve to raise our hopes, for the 

 weather would indeed have to take on a 

 marvelous change to ensure the maturing 

 of the pods now forming. The crop al- 

 ready set, is about all we shall get, and 

 with the conditions prevailing, some 

 weeks will elapse before all the pods are 

 cleared. The bitter pill we have to swal- 

 low as best we can, is the enormous loss 

 due to non-setting of the early flowers, 

 and this trouble is not merely confined to 

 the Spencers. We may take any variety,
