SPRING IN THE GARDEN

Bear in mind that the new soil inocu-

wonderfully good things are already
told about it's work by those who have
practiced it.

Fall and Early Winter Lambs.

Fall and Early Winter Lambs.
Remember the term "hothouse' lamb
does not mean that you must grow
your animal in a semi-incubator. The
feeding barn should be kept hot.
The feeder should exercise care that
his lambs do not get in a draft and are
well sheltered. but see that they have
air. 1t will not hurt them once in
awhile to 60 out in the snow. Our fall
and winter lambs often weigh forty to
fifty pounds early in the spring and
bring from 81 to $40 per head, accord
ing to the market. All lamb feeders
who can grow alfalfa should not fail to
be without this wonderful hay. l at
tribute most Of my success with lambs
to alfalfa. The past season l raised
$50 tons on my farm and use it freely.
Also l grow 1000 bushels of oats and
barley. 1900 bushels Of shelled corn
and 800 bushels Of soy beans on my
place, much Of which was fed to sheep,
handling about a thousand head per
year, said Joseph E. Wing before the
Connecticut board Of agriculture.

beans secured between the Henderson
as the male and the Burpee as the fe-
male parent. Out of the crosses two
have been selected. One, nearer the
Burpee, is named the Station Bush
Lima, and the other, approaching the
Henderson type, is called the Kelsey.
One of the chief valuable Characters
ties of these crosses is their remarkable
productiyeness. Crossed plants often
show this tendency, and here there has
been a striking example OF vigor and
fr%uitfulness.
The quality Of the crosses is said to
compare favorably with that Of the
Burpee, a variety of high grade. The
yield has been fully double that of Ell
Their parent under similar circum
stances.
The Station Yellow tomato, a cross
Of Golden Sunrise upon Dwarf Cham
pion. gets its fine color, between hat Of

parent Golden Sunrise and the up

female or Champion ancestor. The
plant ana iTUlL are SollbW larger
than the Champion and the foliage less
"curled." Thickness of the wall of the
fruit, with firmness of flesh, renders
them desirable for marketing and adds
to the percentage of edible flesh for the

by buyers at all the horse markets."
asked Mr.. IL. G.. Mcmillan before the
same time answering his own question,
Mr.. Mcmillan said that the supply of
heavy mares is very limited. Farmers
who owned good mares a few years
ago sent them to market because they
believed that the days of profitable
horse breeding had passed. AS a result
Of this unwise policy, before an ade-
Quate supply Of drafters can again be
grown for market draft mares will
have to be produced first from which
to raise the supply in the future. This
will take years to accomplish, so that
it may be reasonably expected that the
price OF draft horses will continue firm
for years.
oood Returns In Colts and Farm
Work..
While pure bred stations have been
selling in many cases at seemingly
high figures, pure bred draft mares car
yet be obtained at a very reasonable
figure. The Iowa or Illinois farmer
who owns one hundred or one hundred
and fifty dollar land cannot make a
better investment than to buy a pair
or two of ~pedigreed draft mares. At
the price at which such mares are now
selling, if given proper care, they will
bring in a larger return ON the invest
ment than any stock that can be placed
on this high priced land.
In addition to producing colts that
the draft horse breeders and dealers
will gladly buy at 500 or $500 when a
year old, they will do the work required
on the farm just as well as or better
than mares that produce colts that are
only worth 500 when fully matured.

WatcrtOyyn Hail Insurance

Sisseton Standards: We are in
formed thai suits have been brought
or a number OF notes against farmers
in this county which they gave last
year in settlement of claims held by
the receiver of the Watertown Hail
Insurance Company. These suits are
by banks and others claiming to be
innocent purchasers from one Q. w.
Kerr of Fargo to whom the notes
were given, and who held the claims
OF the insurance company for the re-
ceiver for collection only. But it
seems that Kerr took many of the
notes in his own favor and afterwards
claimed to have sold themfto the ones
who are now bringing suit on them.
We are further informed that Kerr
had no right or authority whatever
to take the notes in his own name,
but that they are the property of the
receiver of the insurance company,
and that the notes are not negotiable
at all by reason of these facts Judge
Mccoy evidently regards the action
of Kerr as being illegal and he has
made an order for the receiver of the
insurance company to bring suit
against Kerr to recover. all of these
notes on the ground that he is not the
owner of them and had no right to
take them in his name or sell them.
We would advise all who have been
sued on these notes to see q lawyer at
once and have the proper steps taken
to prevent the entry of a Judgment
and protect their interests in the mat
ter, as it will be too late to take any
such steps after the time for answering

To the Public.

At recent meeting of the city
council the sanitary condition of
the city was discussed, and it was
decided that as city health officer,
I request the public through THE
BROWNSVILLE HERALD to begin at
once and put their premises in as
sanitary a condition as possible,
by draining off any water which
might be in their yards, cut down
and destroy all weeds, burn trash
and disinfect privy vaults by the
use OF crude carbolic acid, chlorin-
ated lime or corrosive sublimate.
And as it has been thoroughly de-
monstrated that the mosquito IS
the sole transmittor of many dis
seases, especially malaria, dengue
and yellow fever, the city will wage
2 war or determination upon these
little pests, by the persistent use
of coal oil TO the surface OF water
contained in tanks, cisterns, etc,
provided they are not screened or
otherwise protected from the devel-
or,rf,af,f of the f1OSofritO This OIL
shall be applied once, or where nee
essary, twice a week, during the
hot months. If we will all give this
matter our attention and work to-
gether, we will soon have our city
in as sanitary a condition as is pos
sible under the present circums-
tances. l.. +. LAYTON,
City Physician.

Dear Sir: We suspect you d like
the tale, how a woman beat two
hardware dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those
men to sell Devoe lead-and-zinc in
the bright town; and failed. Re-
luctantly took Mrs L X Bowman.
druggist.
They said they couldn't sell
paint for more than 81 rs a gallon.
Mrs Bowman can. She has sold
about all the paint, that has been
sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our
artists materials. Had some sense
and force, besides; she easily learn
ed the cheap is dear i'll paint, and
told it to people.
Mr. Burt Young bought a gal
Ion Devoe for rooms that had al
ways taken a gallon of other paint;
had half left
Mr. L. II Hitler, jeweler, painted
Devoe, and says it goes further
no particulars.
Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought
it expensive before he bought it;
brought back nearly half of his
paint, and said it was the cheapest
Job he ever had.
Mrs Bowman reports universal
satisfaction. So much for a cheap
paint town with a bright woman
in it. Yours truly
