FEEDING CROPS OFF.

Aside from feeding off the grass in
the pasture and the stalks in the field
no attempt is made in this country to
feed crops off Oh the land where they
We're produced. More might be done
ID this line to great advantage The
clover, the turnip crop, the vetch crop,
the rape crop, are all fed in the field
IN England by the hurdle system,
which is the inclosing of a part of the
field with hurdles or a light movable
fence, sheep proof, to the manifest
saving in the harvesting Of the crop
and the great benefit accruing from
the thorough fertilization of the soil.
Two years ago a man in South Da-
kota with eighty acres of corn turned
in 1,200 sheep along in September and
let them harvest the crop, which was
done with very great success and
economy. He got a good price for his
corn, got rid Of the weeds and so
cleaned up and fortified the land that
it was in the best possible condition
for another crop. There was scarcely
any waste in the doing of 1t either, the
fall being dry. Had it been wet, it
would have been different,

GETTING AHEAD.

we are asked by young man how
is the best way for him to get ahead
in the world. He says that he does
not want to become very rich man,
but would like to accumulate enough
property SO as to be able to enjoy life.
Inc recipe has been often given and
as seldom followed, otherwise there
would not be so many poor people in the
world. Commencing poor, it is, first,
self denial, often Of the ancient martyr
type; then saving, little at first; then
a right valuation of ones credit, al
ways keeping it as a we'll protected re
serve asset; then everlasting industry,
Gay and night, too, when one is young
ana tough; after little getting money
TO work for one and being a lender
rather than a borrower; coupled with
all this an honesty in business which
IS unimpeachable There must also be
good sense used in the matter of get
ting married, the choice of a business,
investments and the like, for it is not
always that men are both honest and
sensible. Then there should be con-
Iehtment with small gains and small
savings, for the most enduring for
tunes are built up little at a time.
But money alone will not make the
| really successful man.

PIONEER DAYS.

Whatever the future may bring, it
will never bring back the old pioneer
days the days Of the prairie fires, the
logging bees, the sugar making, the
going to mill and market, when a man
babe his family. an affectionate fare
well, calculating to sleep under a wag-
on for week; when the meat sup
ply was obtained by the gun and the
fish spear; when prairie chicken, NAL
lard and canvasback duck, wild goose
and brant were everyday fare and a
barrel Of fish the reward of a nights
fishing; when folk went visiting, took
their bedding with them and stayed
for two days; when all were poor
alike and all farm tools, books, even
food, common property; when a box
Of clothing from some eastern friends
was a godsend and the trade of the
pioneer community was mostly barter,
with furs as cash producing com
modify; where the houses were Of logs
or Of sod and all were honest and
healthy. With all the attendant hard
ship, there are far worse times than
these old pioneer days.

THE LITTLE GIRLS GARDEN.

She was a little girl only twelve
years old and small for her age at
that, but she was full of enterprise and
snap, and, firing Of dolls and the like,
she persuaded her father to let her
have just two square rods Of his gar
den to run garde0 of her own. We
had the pleasure Of seeing this garden
in early July. There was not single
weed to be found in it, and there was
fine assortment of vegetables of the
most thrifty sort, peas, beans, pota-
toes, tomatoes, cucumbers, radish,
lettuce, cabbage, all nicely cared for,
and our little friend was just as proud
of her success as would be the owner
OF fine half section farm. And this
work for the little maid was in every
way beneficial and helpful to her. She
has become greatly interested in ma
turs study and intends to enlarge her
work next year to include flowers and
poultry. She might have practiced on
piano or done some sort Of fancy
needlework when she was working in
her garden, but we doubt If she would
have done as well.

SILAGE.

There have been many changes Of
opinion touching the proper time to
cut up field corn with which to fill the
silo. When the silo first appeared as a
winter forage factor it was supposed
that the corn must be very juicy and
green, and 80 varieties of corn giving
great growth of stalks were used
This used to fill the silo in a very i'm
mature stage. This made a silage of
mushy character, which gave rise to
nearly all the objections which have
ever been urged against ensil; Re as a
ration. Later it was found It that
there was nothing better out Of which
to make ensilage than just common
field corn, and that this should be al
lowed to remain IN the field until al
most ripe before being used, even to
the point of having the leaves and
husks overripe, this sort of ensilage
being dry and carrying a larger per
cent of nutritive value than when made
Of immature corn.

The attention of railway companies
is called to the great value Of sweet
clover as a binder for the earth on all
cuts and fills. 1t fills the ground with
a network Of fbrous roots and will
grow most ldxuriantly ON the steepest

perpetuating, and once introduced
spreads rapidly and permanently.
Where it grows no washing Of the soil
is possible. 1t is by all odds the best
Of any Of our grasses for this purpose.
A prominent electrical expert makes
the assertion that the windmill with a
steel tower is never struck by light

know Of one which provoked a great
display Of electrical fireworks two

wood, as many are, and if the legs Of
the tower were fastened to wooden
posts set in the ground, as is usually
the case, there would be no good earth
connection, and such a tower would
make good mark for the lightning.

there is any place for the college grad

Two hundred miles to a creamery is
getting to be common thing all
through the west, the cream being
shipped that distance to central
creamery plant, which converts it into
butter. The cost of shipment is about
a cent a pound for the butter it will
make, which is as small sum as it
can be gathered for and delivered to a
home creamery. This plan is opening
up great possibilities for the dairy
business in localities where cows have
never heretofore been kept.
