Thin most valuable acquisition to our list of pasture grasses Booms to havo come from India where it is called udab." Until its great value as a pasture grass and, on moist fertile soils, as a hay producer, became known it was regarded as a pest by the cotton planters all oyer the Southen United States. Many plantations, in the South Atlantic States, were abandoned on account of its prevalence upon them which (trn nnrw uiuldino. ... ? V ?. J iviuilip, LU VI D profitable returns from Bermuda pastures and Bermuda hay than were ever realized from the same fields while cultivated in cotton. There is a well authenticated record of 13,000 lbs. of cured Bermuda hay, per acre, from three mowings during oue season, on the Oconee River bottoms in Georgia. Farmers who, a few years since dreaded its appearonce upontheir J farms as they did Canada thistle or the famous coco or nut grass, are now industriously planting Bermuda pastures and meadows. Bermuda is a stoloniferous grass, propagating not only by means of underground stems like most of the so-called blue grasses, but this propassates also by overground stems. This habit enables it to spread quite rapidly under favorable conditions. Bermuda being a child of the South delights in suushine and will not thrive if deprived of this ; life giving influence. This fact is utilized in the most effective means employed for its destruction. It is propagated in this country most satisfactorily by planting pieces of the sod, but may bo by Reed also if proper precautions against the shading 1 out of the young plants by taller growth of weeds and grass by both under-ground and overground stems and by seed, lie- 1 produces seed stalks and llowers but, in this country no seed. The [ seed spikes branch into from 1 three to six spikelels. There arc 1 two leaves at each joint. Those two characteristics uiTorda means of readily distingu ishing it from i Lhispalumdistichum, which pro pa- j gates like tho Bermuda, but is i1 coarser, lias only ono leaf to the ' joint and only two spikelets toj( Nip need slaik. Bermuda ia perennial in warm 1 climates but perennial-rooted in 1 the upper cotton belt. The blades of the grass are killed by ihe lir.-t 1 severe frost, but the under-ground sterna and roots and the overground stems that have taken 1 root are not kilied by even severe freezes. ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION. Bermuda is propagated most sue- j cessfnlly by planting pieces of i the sod. In the fall while breaking the land with a turn plow I drop piecea of the sod in every I third furrow behind the plow and : cover with tho next plow (dice. Pow rye on tho land as left by the plow and harrow or drag it smoothe, covering the rye and j peed. In spring turn cattle on to' pasture the rye and aid the Ber- j iiiuim i'j i cmuv i ijk MllNUH | firming the Roil upon the Bormu-1 da roots. Neither horses, sheep nor hogs should bo allowed upon young Bermuda pastures. Those animals will interfere with the spreading of tho Bermuda by biting off the over ground stems. For spring planting, prepare the laud by plowing and harrow- j ing as for corn. Open furrows | two feet apart, and in these drop ^ pieces of sod every two feet, t Cover with a light furrow and 5 roll down smoolhe. This should p bo done in March or in April. It f may be planted 111 this way at 0 any time during the summer and i early fall by covering the pieces s of sod deeply. If seed are used the land should 0 bo thoroughly prepared as for I: other grass seed, having the sur t face thoroughly pulverized. Draw i a smooth harrow over the surface a leaving the whole surface corru- 1 gated wi th small furrows. Sow the t seed after danger of late spring < frost is over, at the rate of five v lbs. of seed per acre and brush in h very lightly or better, press in v with a heavy roller. t PROTECT TIIE YOUNG PLANTS FROM n RAIN.
