RESTORING PASTURES.
Narrowing In Glover Seed IL Given - IN
40 Excellent Plan.

Narrowing in Glover Seed IL Given - IN
Excellent Plan.
The maintenance of pasture lands has
become one OF the important problems
in connection with farm management.
Our system of close grazing, followed
by periods of prolonged drought incvita-
bly, leads to weakened vitality of grass
plants, resulting in deficient stand and
reduced productiveness. One Of the
best plans of renovation, says the Mas
sachusetts Plowman, is to, harrow in
some clover seed. From experiments
at the Iowa station it appeared that
clover seed disced into blue grass pas
ture at the rate of ten quarts per acre in
acreased the yield IS per cent, the equiv.
alsnt of 1900 pounds Of cured hay per
acre. Good, fine ba-nyard manure ap.
piled to blue grass pasture it the ratio
OF 20 tons per acre increased the yield -
pei. cent, equivalent to 1,700 pounds Of
cured hay per acre: &C. r."
The addition Of 30 pounds Of grass
seed per acre, together with the discin9
2nd narrowing, increased the yield Of
grass 1926 per cent. or the equivalent OF
500 pounds of hay per acre.
A top-dressing of liquid manure, 500
gallons TO the acre, without grass or
clover seed, increased the yield only 26.5
per cent.
The pasture used for the test was
stated to be rather poor, shallow, gray
ely soil, with a fairly good natural
stand of grass.
The results show that clover seed
gave twice as much increase as grass
seed, and more than twice as much as
that produced by liquid manure.
In the practice of treating pastures
with clover seed and the disc, the work
can be very much reduced by applying
the seed early while the ground is soft
in order that a part of it may be covered
by the tramping of stock, and the disc.
ing and narrowing should also be done
at time when the surface will be most
readily loosened. With many pastures
the rocks prevent the use of the disc ma
chine, and in such cases considerable
can be accomplished with the old style
tooth-harrow. But disk harrow should
| be used in the clear places.

Brown glanced sharply at his aide
with those keen eyes of his. "Non-

Grayson was an unconscionable time
writing the story, and, in the end, he
made barely quarter of a column out
Of it. When it was finished he waited
until he saw the editor getting into
his overcoat to go home.
Brown and he were old friends. To-
eether they had struggled for foot
hold in the newspaper world. on the
staff of the Moon. And together they
had left it after Grayson's famous fight
over his bill. He had been ordered to
Johnstown at the time of the floods,
and of course had gone at moments
notice to brave dangers in pursuit of
news for his paper. Nights in the open
air, his coat rolled up for pillow, on
damp ground or in freight cars, once in
llimekiln, once in the branches of tree,
he had ruined the suit which was new
the day of his departure. When he
made out his bill for that eventful as
signment, he added the cost of the suit.
But the paper il. whose service he had
faithfully done and dared, whose graphic
accounts had been his work, cut out the
$50. Then he and his friend left.
So tonight he waited for Brown with
reasonable surety. The two men walked
up Broadway to their favorite restau-

crs produced by their wise action last
year in making their supplies at home.
The home is the starting point for adj
vancement and progress. Make the
home self-sustaining and its inmates
comfortable and happy, and it is easier
then to establish the community and
country on a higher plane of prosperity.
The essential thing is to get the home
in a prosperous condition, and no home
can be prosperous unless the owners
live there-live in the true meaning OF
the word, and not simply exist there.
The farm is the farmers world and tho
home the heart and center of that
world. In conducting the farm on
sound business principles it is vitality
important that provision must first lie
made for the sustenance of the family
and live stock necessary to conduct
operations OH the farm. With this as
:,asis, decreasing expenditures, the
money crop will be surplus one, and
the producer will be, to a certain extent,
independent.
The expression of general desire
for improvement is an omen of better
times. 1t is prophetic of still greater
improvement of the condition of the
farmer, of the soil he cultivates, in his
system of cultivation, and in the ham
ding of the products OF the farm. Let
improvement be the watchword.-

MORE towns die for want of conf
dence on the part Of business men and
lack of public spirit than from any
other cause. When a man in search OF
a home or business location goes into
a town and finds everything brim full
OF hope and enthusiasm over the pros
poets Of the place, and all earnestly
building it up, he soon becomes i'm
bued with the same spirit, and as a re-
suit, he drives down his stakes and
goes to work with the same interest.
When, however, he goes to a town
where everyone expresses doubt and
apprehension for the future prospects
of the place, moving about and indulg-
ing in mournful complaints, he natur-
ally feels it is no place for MIN, and at
ono shakes the dust off his feet, while
he pulls out with all possible speed for
some other place. Consequently, try
to make an enterprising town out Of
n in which you live. While you are
working for your own town, you are
accomplishing all the more for your
self.
