THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTH, Friday, March 18, 1921.
THE VALUE OF SOME LITTLE
USED GRASSES
On several occasions, particularly
through the medium of "Seasonable
Hints" issued by the Experimental
Farms Branch of the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture, attention
has been called to the usefulness of
several grasses which at present are
little appreciated in Canada. The
grasses to which in the past parti-
cular attention has been called as
valuable adjuncts to hay and pastae
mixtures are Orchard Grass and
Meadow Fescue. The former is con-
sidered as one of the best for dairy
farms in Denmark where, as is well
known, dairying has reached a height
of perfection unequalled by any other
country. The latter grass is also
considered extremely valuable in hay
and pasture mixtures wherever in-
tensive farming is practised. Our
experiences is that, in Canada, these
two grasses would, if added to the
standard and often stereotyped m4x-
ture of "Clover and Timothy," ma-
terially help to increase the value of
the hay crops and of the pastures.
But besides these grasses there
are several others, the introduction
of which into Canadian farming
would no doubt prove most beneficial
provided that they are used under
conditions in which they can prove
their real value.
We have especially in mind the use
of scree grasses which, although of
little importance for hay, yet are
very valuable as pasture grasses,
that is to say may be advantageously
put in as bottom grasses in hay mix-
tures and pastured when the hay has
been removed. Among these grasses
are the Kentucky Blue grass, suitable
especially for loamy soil, the Sheep's
Fescue and the Red or Creeping
Fescue on light land, the Red Top
especially under wet conditions, and
the Crested Dog's Tail under similar
conditions.
In our opinion it would pay to
add these grasses in small quantities
to grass mixtures seeded down with
the taller growing grasses primarily
looked upon as hay producers. In-
deed, the experience of countries
where the farms are small and where
consequently the highest possible re-
turns are imperative to make farm-
ing a living proposition, strongly
points to the advisability of includ-
ing four or five or even more grasses
in hay and pasture mixtures so as
to make it the more remu$erative.

W. M. S. -The regular meeting of
the Women's Missionary Society was
held on March 9th. Mrs. Stevens pre-
sided and gave a helpful talk on
Canada. One of the greatest prob-
lem, . of our country to -day is the
foreigner, the stranger within our
gates. If we do not give them the
Gospel, they will certainly become
a great menace to our fair land.
Mrs. Dow, the president, gave a
reading, her subject being the Bible
and Missions. The Bible is the only
foundation of all missionary enter-
prise. The more we love and value
the book, the greater will our de-
sire be to send the glad message
forth unto others. Mrs. Jas, Mc-
Queen gave a reading telling of the
terrible suffering from famine in
China. !vers, H. Clark, of Honan,
China, writes the conditions there,
especially bad, because the people in
that region have lost four succes-
sive crops. These people have work-
ed hard all their lives and are now
starving through no lack of effort
on their own pelt. Mrs. Clark says:
"I am going to open a rescue home
for little children who otherwise
would starve or be sold into slavery.
I am starting the work in faith and
begin taking in the children at once.
Too well 1 know you people of the
Land of Plenty to fear that you will
fail me now in this hour of great
need." A special offering was taken
on their behalf, amounting to $17,
'which has been forwarded to tlo-
ronto and will be sent direct to our
missionairies there.
ST. COLUMBAN
Notes. -The meeting of the Liter-
ary Society on Friday evening is be-
ing awaited in suspense by all, as it
is to be an entirely Irish meeting
in honor of the great saint of Irish
patriotism -St. Patrick. - A large
procession followed the remains of
Mr. P. Carlin to his last resting place
last Friday. The funeral was one
of the Largest seen here in some
time, which attests to the esteem in
which Mr. Carlin was held by all
who knew him.- If all sighs are to
be believed, we are going to have a
very early spring this year and many
of the farmers who did not get all
their plowing done are contemplat-
ing starting at it soon, -It is report-
ed • that Mr, Recite has located the
stovepipes recently taken from him
and threatens immediate action if
they 'are not returned. It is only
right that the perpetrators of such a
smoky •deed should be brought to jus-
tice. -There seem to •'be a number
of very good runners in our com-
munity as a great many bad colds
have been caught recently.
Obituary. -Early in the night of
the 8th instant, a gloom was cast over
St. Columban which extended to
places remote, when it was known
that the late Patrick Carlin, of the
Township of Hibbert, Huron Road,
had breathed his last a little after
ten o'clock p.m. He was a Tenial de-
scendant of Ireland's early and
greatest poet in the Irish 11igaage
called Carolin. The father of the de-
ceased e died a little over
fifty 'years

a and nd left
a go inheritance,

left g
u
no will which brought furth
many claimants which was a heavy
responsibility athwart the path of
young Patrick Carlin not then out
of
his teens. n But nothing daunted,
and under the guidan'ee of his mother,
who was a deep thinker and far-see-
ing' woman, happily, possessed of
more than ordinary intelligence, and
in due time all claims were dlsekarg-
ed. At that time, with hired help,
Mr. Carlin cultivated the greater part
of 250 acres, raised large`,berds of

aesvehanee, t aired wealth and
built e,Paiatitl4w, Ujng hoose, where
he enjoy.ed the comforts of a happy
home. It was a pleaauie,to,meet and
orae with hint. He always seem-
ed hi iry because he was good, and
by a natural reaction., that happiness
prolongs :the goodness. He was a
good practical Catholic; had the
means, and was ready and willing to
contribute to every charity. He was
an exceptionally good neighbor, a
good citizen, a good loyal subject,
and left a good inheritance to his
wife and only daughter, the partic-
ipants of his former nares and joys.
The funeral took place un.1 r1day, the
llth inst. A grand high mass was
celebrated, and the funeral 'was the
largest in St. Columban for many
years. Requiescant in. pace. -Com,

largest funerals ever •seen in the
neighborhood was that of John Kraft

leen ailing for only- a few months
from a cold contracted last fall. In

grew worse. He bad reached the age
of forty-two and was a man of in-
tegrity and honest dealing. For a
number of years he kept a shoe store
and cobbling shop. The remains were
laid to rest in the family plot in the
Lutheran cemetery. He leaves to
mourn his loss his widow and three
small children, besides one brother,
three sisters and his parents. Much
