A reader in Nebraska wishes to know
what variety Of grass to select for the
purpose Of seeding down hog pasture
in which are trees which partially
shade the ground. In any Of the states
east OF Nebraska there would be no
doubt what kind of grass would finally
take possession Of such a tract, for, no
matter what seed might be sown, the
blue grass would soon occupy the field,
but we doubt if the blue grass has vet
become domesticated so far west.
What would be better than even blue
grass would be alfalfa, which in most
parts of that state does remarkably
we'll. He suggests bronze grass, but we
are inclined to think the best thing to
do would be to put the soil in the best
condition and SOW to alfalfa, which
makes the very best hog pasture In the
world

We heard man say recently that he
always preferred to drive horse which
needed the whip. We could not agree
with him. While we will not say that
horse never needs the whip, it has,
for us at least got to be an emergency
situation which ever justifies the use Of
one. Boys and horses are licked alto
gether too much.

Grade sires on stock farm are as
bad as any mortgage. They represent
the very poorest and most improbable
work in stock raising. The money put
into good sires is always returned, with
big interest

Honors were easy between the old
lady and the grocer when she unloaded
a good sized round stone in her roll Of
butter, which the grocer later returned
to her in sack Of coffee There were
no remarks made by either party.

A buyer of hogs and cattle Of twenty
years ago told us recently that he al
ways planned to make at least $50 a
car on all the stock which he bought Of
the farmers. Then they were almost
totally ignorant Of the real state Of the
market and readily accepted the price
which he offered. He says that those
good old days are gone, never to return
Now the farmer is just as well posted
as he is and, more, knows just exactly
what 1t will cost him to ship his own
stock, and his $50 car has gone a-glim-
mering.

Every particle of straw produced on
the farm should find it's way to the

We are asked how we would pro-
coed to raise bumper crop Of corn,
assuming that the season of 1905 is
favorable one for the development of
the crop. We would want a piece Of
land which had not grown corn for
four years, which had been in clover
the two years Immediately preceding,
which was plowed last September, the
last crop of clover being turned under;
we would put ten loads of manure on it
per acre with manure spreader, get
as near ass possible three kernels in
each hill of the most carefully selected
seed, keep drag and cultivator at work
on the field five, six, seven or eight
times, remove all barren stalks and not
let a weed grow. This is good for
eighty bushels per acre. Just try it
and see

In much of the western territory
there is now no further excuse
for neglecting the dairy business for
the reason that there is no creamery
near by. The cream separated on the
farm finds a very ready market at
almost any railway town. where it
will be tested and paid for by the local
agent of some central and distant
creamery, to which it will be shipped
by rail two or three times each week.
Under this plan the dairyman gets his
pay for his cream each time when it is
delivered

1t is a good idea to have the farm
named and the name so painted on the
barn or elsewhere that travellers can
see itthis if the farm is kept up in
good shape. But if 1t is down at the
heels better not advertise the owner,
but let the passerby think it is some
tenant farm.

Many farm Institutes in the west are
interesting the farm boys of their coun-
ties by offering liberal premiums for
the best corn grown by the boys, to be
exhibited at the Institutes to be held
next winter This is a most worthy and
sensible thing to do. 1t is always easier
to interest the boys in any line Of pro
gressive agriculture than it is the old
men.

It will pay any township with seven
ty or eighty miles of highway to care
for and only a limited road tax fund
with which to do it to send some bright
young man to the agricultural college
of the state and pay his expenses for
the purpose of having him take a
course of study on road building and
drainage to the end that he may take
the position Of highway supervisor for
the township. Of course there will be
some men who will claim that no col
lege can teach them how to build good
roads, but until they quit trying to
make water run uphill 1t will not do to
believe them.

The present high prices for mutton
and wool will tempt thousands Of men
to rush into the sheep business, buy
ing f1ocks to start with at exorbitant
prices, later to find that the ups and
downs Of the sheep market have made
the business improbable and their
focks have to be sacrificed at dollar or
two head, as has SO often happened
in the past. Don't do this. Sheep are
all right; just like any other domestic
animal, sometimes pay and sometimes
don't. The time to go into the sheep
business is just when every other fell
low is trying as bard as he can to get
out of it. If you must start, commence
with very few and build up your own
flock. Not every man can properly
care for sheep anyhow-not over one in
ten. If you have level low farm
don't keep sheep at all; if you have a
high and rolling rough farm they are
the best domestic animal you can keep
on 1t.

A man had 100 acre farm left him
by his father twenty years ago free
from membranes. Since then he has
been doing what SO many do-been
raising grain and selling it from year
to year until his soil has become worn
and unproductive In order to get
along he had mortgaged the farm for
all the money it would carry as a Sc
curity. A year%ago he moved to town
and rented the farm to a tenant for
So per acre This tenant put sixteen
good COWS on the farm and easily paid
not only his rent, but obtained from
the farm good living. If he stays
there for five years he will be in good
shape to buy the farm

1t required probably not less than
500 years to grow the black walnut
tree the stump of which we removed
from the farm last spring, and notwith-
standing it was cut matter of fifty
years ago its roots were still sound, but
the pity Of all was that this monarch
of the forest was chopped down and
made into fence rails when it would
have been worth hard on to $500 today,
for it was nearly five feet in diameter.
We know what the early settlers had
to go through, but we can never quite
forgive them for so ruthlessly destroy
ing these patriarchs Of the past cen
turtles.

We ran across a young man recently
who with his brother six years ago,
when they were just young boys, in
vested in two registered Shropshire
ewes. The boys made a careful study
of the sheep and cared for their little
flock, infusing the newest and best
pure blood into it. Today the boys have
a flock Of over 100 pure bred ewes of
this breed which is conceded to be one
Of the finest herds of Shropshire sheep
in the west. This is not a long story,
but there is lots Of meat in it.

have all the persons who have been

Prisoners In Wetzers jail Pry Away
Some Bricks and Escape.

NEW MARTINSyILLE, Oct. A.
Upon the eve of their trial C. e. Zook,
TONY. the Tumbler" and Charley
Harrigan escaped from the wetzel
county Jail, between and 3 o'clock
yesterday morning by prying the
bricks from under the jail window on
the lower aoor. A number of other
prisoners refused to take advantage
Of the opportunity to gain their liber-
ty. On account of the capacity OF the
Jail being taxed number of the
prisoners are confined on the lower
floor, while those who have felony
charge hanging over their head, are
in the cell row, on the upper floor.
Very little is known of Zook, who was
arrested few weeks ago for throwing
stones through the windows of pas
senger train after being put off for
not paying his fare. "Tony the Tum-
bier" was arrested some time ago for
creating a disturbance and flourish
ing gun at Pine Grove. After Char
ley Harrigan, a half witted boy es:
capped and was running down the al.
ley. he said:-"Tm coming, Peru"
meaning his father. He was recap
tured shortly afterwards sitting in the
Eakin House lobby smoking cigar.
