a little careful attention and study it's
as easy to keep a logbOok as to eat hot

seed will shell badly if it is allowed to
stand long after it has reached the
stage of ripeness described above.
HOW TO CUT AND THRESH 1T.
1t is cut for seed with the common
grain binder and the sheaves are
placed in medium sized shocks and al
lowed to cure 1t may be threshed
with the ordinary grain separator by
using the oat sieve and by shutting
the wind off to prevent blowing the
light chaffy seed out with the straw.
Run the seed twice through a fan
ming mill and it will be ready for
market. Bronze grass is a heavy
yielder of seed. the quantity ranging
from one hundred fifty to five hundred
pounds per acre
IT GETS SOD BOUND.
Bronze grass thickens up rapidly
and on that account a field produces
only about four crops of hay or three
successful crops of seed before it be-
comes too badly sodbound to be valu-
able for any purpose aside from past
turing. The length of time that 1t re-
mains valuable for pasture seems
much greater as fields of it are found
to furnish good grazing when they are
six and seven years old.
To destroy the sod cut the grass. in
ample season for hay and break the
sod at once in a shallow manner just
as prairie sod is usually broken.
Backset it in late summer or very
early fall, as Is the custom with prai-
RE sod. and it will be in good condi.
ton for a. wheat or fax crop the next
year.

An agitator consists of a strip of
board with a spike driven through 1t

II was addressed to the best man,
who had come forty miles to second his
best friend In the ceremony. and was,
with several others. the guest Of the
brides parents. The best man was
still sound asleep. but be was promptly
awakened on the supposition that the
letter must contain something of impor-

the envelope and was astonished to
find a sheet Of letter paper. with a lar-a
needle of the sort men always choose
when emergency compels them to sew
thrust through 1t and a foot Of black
thread doubled and trailing in a loose
tangle down the page.
The best man thought 1t was a joke,
but he could not see 1t. and he was
about to become resentful when. upon
turning the sheet. he found this hastily
written note:
Dear Brother-Mother says there is .
button Off your dress coat. 1t Is in your
waistcoat. right hand pocket. Sew It on
Crawling out Of bed. the best man ex-
amined his coat and laughed to see that
the situation had been accurately de.
scribed in the letter. Just like moth

whole nights sleep thinking about that
button"
Later in the day four bridesmaids
gleefully assisted In making the repairs.
and this telegram went to mother:
