Keeping Them Awake.

The small son Of a Jonesboro
preacher who is noted among his
congregation for his tiresome SER
mons overheard two friends OF
his saying how dry they were
and how hard it was to keep
awake during them. Last Sun
day while the minister was
preaching, he was astonished tc
see his son throwing corn at the
congregation. The clergyman
frowned angrily at him, when
the boy piped out in a clear treb-
le voice: cts all right, pop

up to face the charge Of killing

at the time instead Of running

There Is no moro interesting sight to

In families as they were bred In the

nnAss As A MEAT MAKER.


All through the corn belt men have
placed too much dependence upon corn
as a meat maker and not enough on
grass and other crops. Meat made
from grassland by grass wo mean
clover, alfalfa and blue grass--is al
ways cheaply produced, while meat
made from corn has often TO DO sold
for less than It cost But few men I'M
dorstnnd the real value of good pas
ture as meat producer, and altogeth-
or too little attention Is paid to keep
ing pasture lands up TO high state of
productlveness, tho most common sin
being In connection with oyerstocking
them and never giving the grass any
kind of show TO grow. We know Of
men who would hardly be able to sleep
nights IL they had pasture which car
ried a'heavy and iuxurinnt growth Of
grass and would not rest until they
had got enough stock into II TO keep
II down." as they express II. Grass
must have some sort of a chance to
grow above ground IL II Is to have a
good, strong and vigorou' root system.
Where grass Ii weaken / by oyerpas-
turing tho weeds are quick to take adj
vantage of the fact and soon swarm all
over tho field TO still further help kill
out the grass. A blue grass pasture
unfed from July / till winter viii fur
nish one Of the best and very cheapest
winter ratlons for the colts aud for
cattle and 'sheep as well provided the
snow does not get too deep.

II IL too bad that most men do not
realize what a pest the Canada thistle
and quack grass are on tho farm until
these things have got good start and
II becomes almost impossible TO Grad
icate them. We know OF an eighty acre
farm in Iowa which II now covered
with the thistle, which tho neighbors
have seen develop from just small
patch, they regarding II with as much
Indifference as though II was patch
OF bindwccd or purslane, when they
should have been AZ much wrought up
over this little patch OF thistIes as they
would have been over a case OF small
pox In their community. A farmer
leads very Independent life, II is
true, but his independence should BIO
curtailed when he makes business OF

The average quarter section farm
should have not less than twenty acres
seeded to clover each year. This will
keep forty acres OF the farm in clover
ali the time and permit the turning
over each year of twenty acres Of
clover sod for the corn crop, this course
Of treatment absolutely assuring very
large and profitable crops Of corn.
Then there should be cows enough 10
take care OF the clover as pasture
and eat up tho hay which would be
produced. A farm 80 handled would
not fail 10 make money for tho owner,
and lot or IL too.

There Is a great deal connected with
the proper feeding and dressing Of
poultry for market. We were in a
commission house about Thanksgiving
last year where lots Of turkeys were
arriving for the holiday trade. Most
OF these birds had been taken right
from a grasshopper diet In the fields
and were lean, and many OF them
were very poorly dressed. The point
which we wish 10 make Ia that these
lean and I'll dressed fowls were almost
unstable and when selling at all did
not bring one-haIf the price the fat
and well dressed birds did. Turkeys
intended for the Thanksgiving trade
should be rounded up at least two
weeks before tho killing and dressing,
kept in darkencd place and be stuffed
with all the corn or cornmeai they will
eat; should be picked dry and be clean-
ly dressed. This applies to the feeding
and marketing Of all kinds Of Doultry.

We are asked by what process the
new varieties OF strawberries and po.
tatoes arc originated. New varieties Of
strawberries arc not originated from
the runners, but from the seeds Of the
berry. New kinds OF potatoes como
from the seeds In the seed balls and
not from the tubcrs. The new sorts
are propagated by the runners and tn.
bers Of the plants thus originated. The
Same rule as to new varieties holds
good with all our fruits which carry
seeds apples, pears, peaches, plums

cumberg, melons and squashes- with
most flowers, the origination OF new
variety comes as a sport or freak, the
result OF natures mysterious methods

selected for propagation by seeds or
