Crop prospects were never better
in Meade county than at the present
time. There has been plenty of
snow and rain all winter and this
spring. If we do not raise bum
per wheat apd barley crop this year
we miss our guess. The ground is
too wet to put in spring crops and
the farmers are anxiously waiting
for the ground to dry up a bit so
that they can get into the fields to
plow, as it is getting time to sow
barley and other spring crops.

A friend writes, inquiring how he can
get some clover to grow on his blue
grass pasture. He cannot very well, to
have it remain there as a permanent
fixture, but he can do this: Next spring
take four horse disk, well loaded, and
give the old hidebound blue grass a
thorough scarifying both ways; then
drag the field down smooth and sow
about five quarts of medium clover to
the acre This will insure more or less
clover for two or three years and longer
if it is allowed to seed on the ground the
second year. 1t will also wonderfully
rejuvenate the blue grass and probably
nearly double the feeding capacity Of
the pasture. This, is not a hard thing
to do and is absolutely certain to bring
good results.

Broad leaved vegetables all exhaust
the potash in the soil where they are
grown. This fact explains why cab
bages, turnips and beets, containing lit
tie or no starch, never leave the ground
in better shape, save, as being hoed
crops, they may clean the land, and
why a crop of potatoes if properly
cared for always improves the land for
succeeding crop. This potash is stored
in the leaves of these plants and not in
their roots, and in the case of sugar
beets it is necessary to leave the tops
and crown of the plant, which are cut
off before grinding, on the land.

Cold storage cured cheese is proving
great success. This is cheese taken
right from the hoops and cured slowly
in room at temperature not exceed
ing 30 or 55 degrees. 1t takes about
nine months for the cheese to mature
under such conditions, but in so doing
there is much less loss from shrinkage
and mild and delicate favor is Sc
cured almost impossible of attainment
under the old way.

If you think you must have quick
growing deciduous tree there is moth

soft maple or sycamore. 1t will grow
almost as fast as the cottonwood or
the willow, is free from the insect pests
and furnishes quality of wood for
fuel purposes easily worked up and
every way superior to most of the soft
woods, SO called.

The Amana society of Iowa, one of
the very few successful communistic
societies Of the country, are great gar
deners. Among other things they raise
seven or eight car loads of onions each
year, sowing the seed in hotbed early
and transplanting the little onions to
their place in the fields. The onions. SO
raised are very uniform in quality and
size, and because Of the fact that they
are matured a month before other on
ions raised from the seed sown in the
field the growers are always able to get
much higher price for their crop.

Drilled corn will yield about eight
bushels per acre more than corn plant
ed in the hill, and the ears will be more
uniform in size. This plan is to be
commended for clean soils-clover and
blue grass sods-but where the soil is
full of weeds it is better to stick tc
the hill system.

One watchiag the habits and ways of
wild animal and bird life will note the
fact that when left to their own in
stincts such animals and birds will al
ways lay on surplus of fat in the fall
to help tide them over the seventies Of
the winter season. Thus we find all
kinds of game in the best condition in
the fall; also the skins of all fur bear
ing animals and the plumage of all
birds. There is a lesson here which
should be needed by all stock raisers.
An animal poor in flesh in the fall is
always a hard animal to winter and
usually an Improbable animal to keep.
This applies with special force to milk
cows and all young stock. Stock al
lowed to become thin in flesh during
the fall months will usually stay thin
all through the winter and come out
next season spring poor

The wild instinct of our native birds
and animals is curious thing. A farm
er in Texas captured q Canada gander
alive and mated him with flock Of
tame geese. These hybrids, the result
of this cross, resembled the tame goose
ancestry more than they did the wild.
They appeared to be thoroughly domes-
ticated, and no attention was paid to
them in the way of restraining them.
All went well till early December, when
one day a flock of wild geese passed
over, and their calls were answered by
the hybrids, who, without any premedi-
tation, took to wing and followed their
untamed relatives off to the gulf Of
Mexico. The call Of the wild is strong
one.

A school man found that his classes
did not take the interest in their work
that he wanted them to. There was
much listlessness and Indifference. and
his work was to him unsatisfactory,
very common experience with school
teachers. He reasoned correctly that
if he could interest his pupils in some
particular line of work-get them as
interested in it as they would be in a
picnic or a half holiday or circus
they would then do better work on
other lines of study which were dis
tasteful to them. So he took I'D for
about twenty minutes each day the
study G.. simple everyday things which
in a way all the pupils were familiar
with-the architecture of a birds nest,
the changing pupil in cats eye, a
snow crystal, the weeds which grew
in their gardens, the way in which g
horse and cow lie down, how a leaf
feeds the plant or tree. the. germina-
ton of seeds, where the dew comes
from, the relation of the tassel to the
silk on the corn why popcorn pops, the
natural enemies of the sparrow ans
the mouse, why rivers run crooked,
why some plants rob and others fer
tiliZe the soil, why dog always turns
round two or three times before he lies
down, why and how birds migrate.
why baking powder makes the cake
and biscuits light and lot of just such
simple, practical things, having his pu-
pills find out all they could about the
topic to be considered, with the result
that every child became at once in
tensely interested and was only too
glad to do good work on other less at
tractive lessons in order to get them
we'll out OF the way for this twenty
minute special work, which was used
later as basis Of language study, the
scholars being required to write all
about the things selected as topics for
this course. Perhaps there may be
suggestion here for other teachers. fol
it is probably true that children arc
always eager to learn about the things
which they know something about ano
which are part Of their lives.

The true center of gravity for most
farmers will be found to be the fact of
getting out of debt and staying out, the
being content with moderate sized
farm and getting all out of it possible.

We know that it is but stating an old
truth over again when we say that for
all young and growing animal life on
the farm, for laying hens and milking
cows, heterogeneous foods are far better
than carbonaceous foods. heterogeneous
foods make muscle, blood and bone;
carbonaceous foods make fat. Glover,
oats, bran, oilmeal and skim milk are
the common heterogeneous farm products,
while corn is essentially a carbonaceous
food, fat maker. This is why the
hen which is fed wholly on corn grows
fat and ceases to lay, why the COW
which has corn diet becomes fat and
shrinks in her milk yield and why lit
tie pigs fed largely on corn lack good
frames, muscle and bone.

Wood is being rapidly displaced by
other materials. Save for posts it is no
longer used as fencing material, the
old rail fence and the board fence hav-
ing entirely disappeared. Steel has SUI
perseded wood almost entirely for
frame structural purposes in bridges
and buildings. Cement walks have re-
placed the board and plank walks. 1t
is doubtful if there is plank road left
in the United States, and they were
very common in an early day. Slate
or prepared roofing material is rapid
ly taking the place of shingles. Straw
board displaces wood as box material.
In vehicle and car construction steel is
taking the place of wood. Coal, oil,
gasoline and gas are becoming the COM
mon fuel supplies of the people at
large. Water power and the dynamo
are the coming sources of power, so if
the forests of the country are going,
never to be replaced, the skill and inge-
nuity of man in a hundred ways are
busy devising substitutes, and perhaps
after all the greatest loss will come in
a purely aesthetic way, for the beauty
OF the forest can never be replaced

A friend called on us recently while
on his way to the Pacific coast in
search of an ideal place for a home.
He said he had an idea that some
where in some of the valley country Of
northern California or southern Ore
gon he could find spot where the soil
was rich, the rainfall ample, no snow,
no ice, no Billiards, no droughts, no
thunder and lightning, no cyclones, no
blight and bugs to destroy his crops;
where when he planted shrub, flower
or tree it would do it's best unhindered
by elemental, climatic or insect enc
mics. Maybe he can find such a place,
but if he ever does he will have to
sprout wings and seek a higher eleva-
ton than he can find on this old earth
The truth is that nearly every locality
b /, its peculiar drawbacks. None is so
good as was the garden of Eden and
hardly any SO bad that man cannot
make a success of living if he goes at it
in the right way. If our friend does
find the place he is after he is going
to let us know, for we have the money
saved up to buy ticket to the place.
