Bromus Inermis or Brome Grass
Defies drouth, resists frost, best errass of the acre. We have a erood stock
of Bromus Inermis, all home
will go as far as two bushels
is the grass without question
grows until very late in the fall, resists drouth, produces more feed per acre
and stock of all kinds relish it. It makes a thick, heavy sod and one Lowing
will stand for ten vears.
Below is a copy of the letter written by Mr. J. C. Wagner, the grower of
Bromus Inermis in Platte County, giving his seven years experience with this
seed:
"My experience with this grass extends over a period of seven years, during:
which time I have found it to be one of the best pasture grasses, and for ljluff land, far
superior to any of the other tame grasses. It produces very early pastnre and is a per
sisted grower. I have sowed it many ways and find well prepared stalk ground the
best. As a hay grass from fall sowing I took 6200 jwnnds per acre the 25th of June
following. From 50 acres I threshed 12900 pounds of seed, and had a fine pasture,
which 1 rated as good interest on land, and will say that Brome Grass and Alfalfa will
make Nebraska one of the greatest dairy states inthe Union. As a pasture it is safe
to figure one head per acre. "

Ghosts.
It wa Jiot a play wbich delights
the comedy lovine public, laughter
being as foreign to the plot as sun
shine is to aui, still Henrik Ibsen'B
Ghosts, as presented by Miss Laura
Frankentield and company last Wed
nesday evening, was quite well at
tended. The plot hangs entirely on
the bibical quotatioa "The sins of the
fathers shall be visited apon the child
ren," etc. It is a weird production,
requiring a great degree of talent in
its nresentation. The acting, espec
ially thatjjof Miss Fraakealeld was
fcbove the average, but few people ia
the audience seemed to care for a
juay of the kind. Miss Frankenfleld,
in th judgment of mnr is hiding her
light nsder a bushel by irevoting her
talem to problem play like" Ghosts. "
