Waste In Grain Fields

How Poultry Can BE Made to Utilize
Waste In Grain Fields.
There is always more or less grain
lost in harvesting-shelled off the
heads or broken down out of reach of
the reaper When grain was high in
price farmers could afford to ignore
this waste and let it seed the land
with a volunteer crop. The writer
has often herded cows on the great
Colorado wheat fields, that were seeded
in this way. In these times, however,
every little counts" and even the
waste in the grain fields must be
picked up and utilized. But whose la
Dor is so valueless that it will not cost
more than the grain is worth? Mr..

There kindles within my breast
Ever tho old desire,
When wavers along the west
The naples beacon fire
. It's ohl to be out on the hills
Over the dead, dull plain,
To hear the autumn riils
Echo the far refrain;
To pluck the milkweed's down
From Its pillow within the pod,
And mint the gold for crown
From the ore Of the golden rod;
To taste the oil Of the nut
That is racy ripe at the core,
And the tang in the fiagroot shut
BY tho racing rillets shore;
To drain from bounteous cruise
The purple wine OF delight
To dream the feet Of the Muse
Are twinltling along the height;
To gather oil gracious gain
In sigat in scent and in song.
Against the ruin Of rain,
And tho winter white and long.

And there kindles within my breast
Ever the old desire.
