The Black Locust.

On every farm that is more or less

A Blow to Heiress.Hunters.

A French court has decided that the
Duke de Valencay has no claim to
the fortune settled upon him at the
time of his marriage TO Miss Helen
Morton of New York, who recently
secured a divorce. 1t is still better
news that the nobleman is forced to

All Duchess de Valencay had to do
was TO give up her title.
1t Is noticeable fact that all the
dukes and counts who are dying for

ed for little ready money. Perhaps
the French courts decision will dis

The turnip crop should be leading

turnips for winter is during the sum

turnips is done somewhat carefully af.
ter the ground is ready for the seed,
the proper preparation of the ground
is not always made. Weeds grow rap.
idly during warm weather. and TO pro-
tect the turnips the land should be
plowed now, narrowed, and the weed
seeds permitted to sprout. using the
harrow as often as may be necessary
to destroy them. Just before seeding
the turnips the land should be worked
deep with a cultivator, and then har-
rowed down again as fine as possible.
This will not only cause fewer weeds
to appear, but will also increase the
crop of turnips, both in the yield and
quality.

When cutting very short grain with
harvester, considerable difficulty is

grain will accumulate upon the sickle
bar in such quantity as to clog the

this, the short grain is thrown too far
so badly that it cannot be properly
bound into bundles without great loss.
