NOW FOR ROOT CROPS.

In the latitude of the And degree it Is
just time now TO SOW seeds for Swedish
turnips on soil we'll prepared and the crop
will give dairymen a valuable feed for
winter. Other varieties of turnips may be
sown even later in the month or early in
August according to the Climate. We like
the pan of sowing seeds of turnips on sell
that has been fairly we'll enriched for a
number OF years for some other crop and
sowing them just far enough apart in rows
so that the cultivator may be used to ad-
vantage ana thus reduce the cost IF labor.
Do not get the idea that root crops can be
probably grown in any soil hat happens
to be idle; they can be grown in such soil.
of course, but the crop will hardly pay for
the rouble. Very rich soil is not desirable
but on the other hand it should be rich
enough to grow the roots in good size and
grow them rapidly enough so that the
flavor will be all that is possible to obtain
and so that they will keep we'll. On soil
hat is not to high in price so that it is
needed for one or more money crops itpays
to devote a considerable area to root crops
if he has stock to which they can be fed
and If they can be grown at no great ex-
pense they can be p%rofitably fed to swine
even when the low price of pork is con-
sidered. Root crops are worthy much
more attention than they generally receive
IN the hands of the average farmer or

How Harry Was to Shame.
From the CHICAGO Daily News.

Anyhow" said the girl in the new
spring hat with the trelliswork of roses
sn it, "it was Harry's own fault. He is
always trying to do things that are funny,
and expects us to go into ecstacies of
nirth over them. How We're We to know
his wasn't one of them? 1t was my turn
20 entertain the Club" and it was to be a
costume party.
II decided to nav a Dutch luncheon.
and every one was to come dressed as a
Hollander. Nearly ali of them came early
out Harry, and we We're all laughing at
Zach ether, when L heard some one on the
'front.' porch. When L opened the door l
nearly died of laughing. l knew at once
t Was Harry, for L recognized his eyes.
He must nave gone to an awful lot of
work getting up his costume, / thought.
FOR he had on big blue trousers and a
checked shirt with pearl buttons, and UNI
der his cap was a wig of straight yellow
aair. and he wore a big yellow mustache.
He hung back and acted as though he
was ashamed of himself-and, really, l
didn't blame him.. for you know how proud
Harry usually is of his appearance. I
grabbed him and dragged him in, and
shrieked for every one to come and look.
They just went crazy over him, told him
he was splendid and asked where he got
the costume, while they were turning him
around till he must have been dizzy.
He played the part pretty we'll, too,
actually stammering some Dutch at us
and sending us off into fresh spasms. We
all laughed so no one could have told what
he was saying If any one had wanted to.
Then he backed up against the wall and
got mad and threw his arms around and
Knocked over a lamp. When he didn't stop
acting after that, or seem sorry, we all
stopped laughing and began to feel a little
indignant. 1t seemed to be carrying the
joke too far.
Goodness knows what would have hap
pened next, for he was breathing hard and
glaring at US, when there was a fresh
commotlon in the hall, and who should
walk in but Harry himself, in ordinary
clothes, with nothing but a big Dutch cap
to disguise him.
II looked at him. and then I looked at
the man 1 had dragged in. and 1 thought
/ must be losing my mind.
WHO are yon, anyway I demanded
of the man against the wall.
He took a long breath and swallowed
hard and looked as though he would like
I to eat some one in revenge.
IL hat try to tell YOU he said. I an,
the brudder of Lena, und 1 come to see
her.
Lena is our new maid. I led the man
sut into the kitchen, where Lena was.
Their I hurried back to scold Harry. We
all took 1t out on him., and he got real pro-
voked about Though 1 am sure he might
nave seen he was the one to blame, and
