children comprise nine sets of
triplets, and 25 of them are boys.
Friends of the parents have
s)nght to persuade them to take
all their children to Washington
with them, but they decline to
consider the proposal. The child

largest one in the state Of South

a family comprising SO many trip

assuming that the season of 1905 is a
favorable one for the development Of
the crop. We would want piece Of
land which had not grown corn for
four years, which had been In clover

which was piowed last September, the
last crop Of clover being turned under;
we would put ten loads OF manure on 1t

as near as possible three kernels in

seed. keep drag and cultivator at work

A buyer Of hogs and cattle Of twenty
years ago told us recently that he al
ways planned to make at least $50
car on all the stock which he bought Of

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
stoek, and his $50 car has gone a-gllm-

A reader In Nebraska wishes to know
what variety Of grass to select for the
purpose Of seeding down o 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 tract, for, no
matter what seed might be sown, the
blue grass would soon occupy the field.
but we doubt II the blue grass has yet
become domestlcated 80 far west.
What would be better than even blue
grass would be alfalfa, which In most
parts of that state does remarkably
well. 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.

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 very ready market at
almost any railway town. where 1t
will be tested and paid for by the local
agent Of some central and distant
creamery, to which 1t 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 1t Ia
delivered.
