The most common mistake in pre-
pairing ground for fall grains is wait
Ing until just before seeding time or
about. the last week in August and the
first in September. There are several
reasons why early blowing is the best.
The weeds that hgs started after the
cutting of the small grains are turned
under and kept FROM seeding. This is
no small consideration where the
ground is at all fori. II some OF the
seeds near the surface should start af-
ter blowing, go over the field with
harrow of some kind or a cultivator
and allow none to develop.
The chief value OF early blowing Is
that the land has an opportunity to be-
come well pulyeriznd and compacted
before seeding time. If the land is
hard when plowed the numerous work.
ings which should be given 1t with
the rains of late summer and early
autumn, will dissolve the clods and OBJ
literate damage If present when the seed
Is sown. Many failures with winter
grains can be traced to late blowing
and imperfect preps ration of the seed
bed.
Begin blowing as aoon as the shocks
have been removed from the field. This
will vary from the first week in July
to the second in August. A denth of
about five inches is usually sufficient,
depending somewhat upon the character
of the soil. In few days go over the
field With harrow in order to level
the ground and creat e soil mulch to
prevent excessive evaporation: Drag
or roll several times during the fall
and follow each time with harrow to
loosen the surface. Seed the fall
grains from Sept. 10 to 20. always u.s.

one advantage with clover is that Il
Furnishes two crops in one season. The
hrst crop Is nearly always cut for hay,

ma {, cut for hay or allowed to ma

quick growth, and, If the first crop
Is cut In good season, will start up and

properly cured, it makes one of the
very best foods for the dairy COWS dur
ing the winter, as well as for growing
stock of all kinds. Even hogs will be
benefited If given good feed of clover
hay two or three times week.
Usually the growing of cloverseed
proves profitable. Occasionally when
there is full crop the price will fall
below that of profitable production. A
small yield. running from three to
seven bushels per acre, and costing
from 20 cents to 81 bushel to thresh.
is an expensive crop to grow, and UNI
less fair prices are realized will not
be profitable.
In harvesting the heads should all
be left to turn brown before cutting.
A self rake is rather the best machine
to cut clover for seed, as il leaves 1t in
punches that can be gathered up readi-
ly with fork. 1t is quite an item to
handle the clover as little as possible,
as it skaters readily.
If the threshing can be done in good
season the clover can be left as cut
until dried out sufficiently to thresh.
But unless you are certain that this can
be done 1t is best to gather up and
stack the clover as soon as it is suffi-
GENTLY cured. The hulm or straw
makes good feed. equally In value to
wheat or oat straw, while 1t can hardly
be eXcelled for bedding.
In growing wheat the turning under
of a good growth of clover will be
beneficial, as it supplies the elements
of plant food needed by this crop.
For corn or potatoes it is usually best
to allow the clover 10 die down in the
fall and then pillow under in winter
or early spring.

communication from her substitute

many a good soldier who cannot SPELL"
Days and weeks passed without
bringing any word from the substi-
tute.
But that is not to be wondered at,
irregular as the mails are now between
here and Cuba" Miss Gwynne said to
Mrs. Dawson, who said that ''Sam never
was no hand to write letters, nohow."
Miss Gwynne gave AIRS. Dawson five
dollars a week for her support and the
support of her two children. AS this
was about three dollars a week more
than Sam had ever brought in, Mrs.
Dawson confided to her most intimate
friends that she hoped that the war
would be long.
Afduent as she now was, Mrs. Daw-
son added long desired green plush
album and lace curtains to her posses
sions, and her children blossomed out
in blue and pink silk dresses, very
fimsy as to texture and very lavish as
to trimming. A white silk parasol and
a pink zephyr shawl partly satisfied her
own aesthetic longings, although she
declared that if Sam got killed and she
got a big pension, her neighbors would
see her ''rigged out fit to kill

After a little further reflection Miss
Matilda suddenly appeared in her lit

thrown over her head and her crisp
calico skirts gathered up in her hand.

"Why don't you show the people of

INDIANS AS WATERS.
Here Is a Story Which Shows That II
Does Not Do to Quarrel When
a Buck Is Servant.

"Apropos of Indians as walters"
said the social travelling man, Il dare
say the students from Indian colleges
will do first-rate, but 1 have in mind
time when it was tried in Nebraska in
small town on the Missouri bottoms,
and in a way that was not altogether
satisfactory to the guests who were
waited on"
"Were you one of them?" asked the
representative of piano house.
'No, but was at the little river tav-
ern where it was tried. The girls had
all left for new big hotel that was to
be opened in the next town, and the
landlord had to do the waiting him
self, and then he thought of the In
dams at the reservation and went and
hired four of them. They didn't get
around until breakfast was over the
next day-an Indian doesn't have any
idea of time-and there was only one
man who hadn't eaten. He was
drummer for a New York clothing
house, and the biggest growler in six
teen counties.
"'You take his order, Jim,' said the
landlord to the man he had been drill
ing. Put this bill of fare under his
nose, give him a glass of ice water, and
may the Lord have mercy on your
SOUL
Indians are not as slow as they
seem, and this was one of the wick
eldest bucks on the reservation. He
managed to get the order all right and
carried it in and served it, and then,
towel on arm. he stood at the back of
the guests chair, as he had been in
structed to do. But the drummer was
ugly, and swore big round of oaths
that he would have no Indian in his.

The child tried to crawl under the

''1Il find out" said Miss Gwynne,
