Fertilizer Crops.

Farmers generally are beginning TO
understand the full value of the
plowed under crop which may fairly be
called fertilizer crop, but all do not
understand how such crops are handled
to the best advantage. 1t is not at all
necessary to have this fertilizer crop at
the expense of the harvest crop unless
the land is too poor to grow good crop
for harvesting. Take, for example, Il
farm on which it seems necessary to
use both commercial fertilizers and a
turned-under crop in order TO get it in
shape to crop repeatedly. Early in the
season SOW 81 Oh soil to oats and peas,
using one bushel of each per acre as
seed, and just before the time to sow
buckwheat pillow the oat and pea crop
under. Before sowing to huckwheat
use commercial fertilizer at the rate of
100 pounds per acre, 100 pounds also
having been used previous TO the sew
ing of the peas and oats. This ferti
lizer should contain considerable pot
ash. The crop of buckwheat will pay
for the fertilizer and leave the ground
in good shape for seeding, or rye may
follow the buckWheat, using another
100 pounds of fertilizer before sowing
the rye seed. This method will put the
soil in fair shape, permit one to use
the fertilizer crop and yet not at the
expense of the harvest crop.

Corn Crop of 1902.

From what we read in our agricul-

likely that the acreage of corn planted

a fear that the business will be over
done. and that prices will go so low as
to render the crop an Improbable one.

Corn Two poliars a Bushe1.

A Western paper says that farmers
who kept their corn last fall, and fed
it out to good stock, are now realizing
twodollarsa bushel for it at the current
prices for prime steers. This profit, of
course. goes only to those who know
how to select good feeding stock, and
to feed them judiciously as well as lib
orally. Not since the early seventies
have the stock raisers received such
prices for beef cattle and hogs as they
are getting now, and the cause was the
same as to-day, high prices for the ami
mails to be fed and high prices for
grain.

Judge Faulkner charged the jury
in his usual impressive manner. AT
ter stating clearly the duties of the
gtand jury. ne referred to the several
laws TO which he is required to call
the attention of the jury.
He called SPECIAL attention to the
law which provides penalties for the
sale without licenes of intox icating
drinks of any kind whether they be
cider, wine. patent medicines or whis-
key-anytbing that will intoxicate.
He also laid special stress upon the
law against the sale of liquor to ha-
bitual drunkards. "They come TO
rowr. every week. he said, 'and al
wavs become intoxicated. Taese ha-
bitual drunkards are not drunk when
they come to town and where do they
get this liquor? 1t is vocation of
law to sell it to them"
He also commented favorably on
the recent step taken by the llduor
dealers toward the organization for
the purpose of enforcing the follow
ing out of the law by all as well as
by few He also referred to the
selling of liquor on Sundays.
Judge Faulkner next smoke of the
bird law He said there were laws
providing for times when ducks, par
fridge, quail ana fowls of like nature
could be killed but there is no law al

cent the English sparrows, to be
