EARLY FORAGE CROPS.
They Should Be Planted as Soon as
1t Is Possible to Get the Seed
in the Ground,

The present scarcity of stock feed
in many sections where last seasons
drought prevailed will be a strong in
centive to our readers to be prepared
at the earliest possible moment to get
seed for quick maturing forage crops
in the ground. A few small patches
of ground so situated that they can be
Kaffir corn, ETC., as soon as it is pos
sible to get the seed in the ground,
will be found very helpful. If oats and
rape seed or corn and rape seed be
sown together the oats or corn will
afford the first grazing and the rape
will provide, as it were, second crop
of forage without further preparation.
Early varieties of sweet corn will be
found very useful for forage purposes,
either to be grazed or later in the sea-
son cut and fed green.
Pasturing corn may strike some as
novel suggestion, but it is a per-
fectly feasible one. In from four to
six weeks from time of sowing the
seed, broadcast, or better, in drills,
the corn can be grazed. Just after the
plants come up, run light harrow
over the ground and sow Dwarf Essex
rape seed-about two pounds to thu
acre--and harrow again, and one will
have pasturage for good portion of
the season. The corn can be pastured
when IL to IA inches high. This will
be found particularly valuable for
sheep, pigs and young cattle. Heavy
stock will cause more waste.-Rural
World.

A cabinet officer who not very long ago
retired to private life started to build up
anew his law practice. A corporation case
was sent to him by brother lawyer. Meet
ing that lawyer later, the ex-cabinet minis
ter asked what he ought to charge.
What did you think of charging asked
his friend.
We'll, " the reply was, 81 thought thou
1and dollars would be about right"
My dear fellow" the other lawyer re-
sponded, IF you do that you will never get
another case. Ex-cabinet ministers are a
luxury, If they are worth anything. Send a
bill Tor $1,000 retaining fee and you will get
check tomorrow. Then adjust your regu-
Lar charges at your leisure"
The thing was done, with the result pre-
dlcted. 1t is said that the gentleman in
question made in month as much as the
sum OF his salary during his entire official
term.-N. Y. Post.

RUNS BACK AND FORTH.
Reversible Moving Machine Is a Late
Invention i'm the Way of Farm
Implements.

It is a well-known fact that with
mowers and reapers it is difficult to
cut grass or grain which has been
blown down by the wind and become
lodged on the ground. This trouble
arises largely from the necessity OF
having to cut around and around the
piece on all sides with the machines
now in use, instead of doing all the cut
ting on the most convenient side.
To provide a machine which can be
run back and forth on the same side
of the field Nils S. Hindbjorgen, of
Hendricks, Mimi, has designed the re-

The superiority of our present va

even within the memory of those of
us in middle life, is very great in
many instances. The results
achieved with some are indications
of, those that are possible with
many, perhaps all. In the case of
staple crops the improvement posi-

A Handsome Menu Card.

It is noticeable fact that the dining car
department of the Grand Trunk Railway
System is second to none on the American
Continent, and new improvements and mod
ern innovations are continually being made.
The Cafe-Parlor cars which have been rum
ming on nearly all of the divisions of this
great System are constant source of praise
from the travelling public. The company
has recently altered the style of the menu
cards used on all of the dining cars and cafe
parlor cars, and has gotten up very hand
some and neat bill of fare that appeals to
the artistic sense

Kicks and Flats,

Conducting once in Bradford, noticed that
the clarinet player, young but clever and
steady lad, jumped up good deal during
the progress of the opera. l found that his
father, who played the trombone, sat just
behind him, and every now and then he
gave his son kick, with the remark: Look

Cuba's First President.

Although it has been stated that the Gu
bans are incapable of governing themselves,
yet they have selected their first president,
who is great favorite with the people. A
favorite medicine with the American people
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, because it is
an ideal remedy for headache, indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation and biliousness. 1t
is also an excellent medicine for spring fever,
Ia grippe and malaria. Don't fail to try it,
but be sure to get the genuine.
