For brief space Of time last Thurs

by that veteran and expert scorer of
the Concordia club, Billy" Brandt
that the Young Mems Bowling club
had defeated their old time rivals. the

short lived. The willy Brandt demand

became apparent that the original an

very essential, however, that you use

Utilize the Swamp,

You doubtless see that some worthy
people are Dragging about the big crops
they are able to raise with the aid of
irrigation. They paid money to get the
water ON their land. Now, maybe there
is a swamp on your farm. For nobody
knows how many years it has been
sucking the fertility out of the sur
rounding hills, If you can get the water
out of it, it will be as valuable for hay
as some Of that land they worked so
hard to get the water ON. Ditch that
swamp. Lime it and start good grasses
all over it. Feed the hay and use the
manure on the upland fields. You
might call that working on shares with
nature. Rural New Yorker.

Junior is a cross between the Peerless
and the Snowflake, yielding like the old
Peerless with the fine quality of the
Snowflake. OF 205 kinds tried, there
was but one that ripened as early as
the Peerless Junior, and that was the
Early Ohio. The Great Divide potato

attention both east and west of the Rocky
mountains A Philadelphia seed firm
claim it to be the best potato for the
main crop. Its special merits are said to

ably in New Jersey, is another claimant
for favor which is highly recommended.
Atpresent prices of some Of these nov
elites the ordinary grower cannot be
expected to purchase them by the guam
tity. Many who like to test new pota-
toes will have to be satisfied with q
pound or so of Carman No. l., Carman

that case, however, the grower will wish
to make the most of his seed Il. Grein-
