Calves in GROUPS,

1t is highly desirable to have
calves come in groups where n
large number of cattle are being kept
and the calves are to be raised for
beeves. 1t is only in this way that
uniformity in size, weight and finish
can be obtained for the car loads OF
cattle that are to be sent to market
II there are but few cattle it is better
to have only two groups of calves. one
in the spring and one in the fall. 1t
will be easier to care for them If they
are in groups Of about the same size
than il they come at all months in the
year.

want to produce good ripe tomatoes

of which is about five feet high. This

aud air to get to all sides of the vines
and the results are correspondingly
good.
One thing that we avoid is rot,
which results when the tomatoes are
permitted to lie on the ground. Then.
too, when the vines are thick and are
not staked l find that tomatoes are
frequently missed in the picking. This
missing amounts to a considerable
item when there are many vines.
When the fruit is hanging on the
stakes every individual fruit is in full
sight and is picked when 1t is ripe
enough.
The picking also is facilitated. and
this l think will more than Offset the

Nurse Crops.

A great deal has been said against
nurse crops. but in some parts
of the western states nurse crops
are quite necessary for the SOW
ing of clover. Where clover is sown
with spring wheat the stubble of the
wheat when cut helps to hold the
snow over the plants during winter
and keeps them from freezing out. 1t
is the experience of farmers in good
many places that nurse crops protect
the clover during summer. especially
in regions where the heat Is intense.

Jews have been one of the most inl-

the Fourth district press are reminded
Of the fact that it was Hon. James e.
Blythe who presented the case of Mr..
Cummins in the republican legislative
caucus, after his election as an inde-
pendent republican from Polk And In
making his argument for Mr.. Cupmins'
admission to the caucus Mr.. Blythe
boldly declared that prohibition was
not nov, nor never had been a test al
party fealty." On this argument Cum
Minis was admitted into the caucus. ON
this declaration of principles incorpor-
ated into the next state platform Mr.
Blythe made the fight of his life as
chairman OF the state central commit
tee for Frank D. Jackson. as governor.
All this time the republicanism of A
b. Cummns was good enough for the
party, and good enough for Mr.. Blythe.
AS presidential elector with Milton
Remley the republicanism of A. r.
Cummins was sufficiently orthodox to
warrant Chairman Blythe in assigning
him to speak to the large towns and
Remley in the small, much to the dis
gust of the latter. AS the temporary
chairman of a republican state conven-
ton Mr.. Cummins was all right, and as
