BY MARIE JENsoH-
Come and walk in grandma's garden.
The garden fair of long ago;
Where the peonies bloomed in splendor
In the sulshine's warmth and glow.
There the dahlias in their glory
Bloomed with lilaes fair and sweet;
Hollyhocks. so tall and stately.
Ragged sailors. too. you'll meet.
There grow cornAowers and sweet William
Forget-me-nots of sweetest blue:
Bachelors buttons; won't you take one?
And some honeysuckes, too?
Down the path we stroll with grandma.
See the larkspur, mignonette;
o. the air is filed with fragrance
Sweetest flowers you'll meier forget
See the dainty little violet
And the pansies. rich in hue
Lady slippers. portulacca
And the golden sundower, too.
All the flowers. dearest fairest.
There are blooming. grandma pride.
And the sweet old-fashioned I,ses
Worn by grandma when bride.

There is nothing more permanent
than the prosperity of agriculture. -
Exchange.
Those ten words tell truth that can
not be too well pondered. Was there
ever time in the history of our coun-
try when agriculture had better in
ming than it has at the present, and was
its future ever brighter? Everything
that the farmer can grow, make and
raise is demanded, and at prices never
before in existence for more than a
brief period There is nothing strange
about it, either. Americas policy of
protection has put thirteen billions of
dollars into factories and carried mill
lions to the cities, and they are making
demands upon agriculture and it's side
issues thai are fast enriching farmers,
stock and fruit-raisers, butter and
cheese makers and the keepers of
poultry. When agriculture prospers
the nation prospers and smiles. White

Fennimore Times: If the going into
effect of the two-cent rate accomplish
ed nothing more than the cutting out
of excursions it must be recognized as
great blessing. Excursions are not
only dangerous and the cause of more
accidents than all other agencies COM
bined, but their influences is vicious,
baneful and tend to lower the moral
tone. It's good thing they are cut
out.
Milwaukee News: Preaching one
thing and practieing another received
practical illustration recently when Sir
James Crichton- Brown dined with the
superintendent of lunatic asylums as
sembIed in convention. Their addresses
all pointed to strong drink as the prin-
cipal cause for insanity, and yet at the
banquet board "a per cent of those
present INDUCED in intoxicants, while
6 per cent. true to their teachings, alb
stained from all alcoholic stimulants.
Whitewater Register: While not dis
posed to find fault with the last leg
islature, which made 600 or more new
laws, for not legislating remedy for
appendicitis, are we not justified in
complaining because it did not strike
at the foundation by enacting law
prohibiting the appendix, root and
branch? What's the good of it, anyhow
save as source of great profit to
the doctors.
Jefferson County Union Some idea
of the extent and Importance of the
automobile business may be gained
when it is known that fully 100, 900 of
these machines were manufactured in
the United States in the last year.
Nearly all use gasoline as motor
power. The recent discovery of cobalt
in large deposits in Canada it is claimed,
will give great impulse to the con-
struction of storage batteries for the
use of electricity as motor power for
automobiles, boats and other uses. 1t
is quite evident that great change is
coming over the world in regard to
methods of transportation. This of
itself will necessitate a change of ideas
and methods in the construction of
roads and we may as well make up our
minds to prepare for the inevitable.

was going over She jumped out onto
the hard road and landed o., her right
foot and being quite heavy lady broke
her leg just above the ankle, so that
the bone protruded through the flesh.

STACKING WHEAT.
Loss to Farmers From Leaving Grain
In the Shock.


Years ago 1t was a common custom
to stack the wheat as soon as II was
well cured In the shock. but gradually
this custom was abandoned until in
many parts of the country it was
rare sight to see stack.
Learning From Experiences.
OF recent years reaction seems to
be slowly taking place and stacking is
again coming into fashion. according to
a writer in American Agriculturist
The reason for this is not In doubt
1t Is the bitter and costly experiences
that have come home TO farmers
through leaving their grain in the
shock until the machine came arouai.
OF course, when nobody stacked and
the thrashing season occupied six
weeks or more, Il majority of the crops
were necessarily left standing In the
shock for weeks, exposed to storms
ana winds.
In Midsummer.
Now. of course, while it is a fact that
rainy seasons in July are uncommon.
they are of sufficiently regular occur
renee to make the damage they infiict
far outweigh the cost of annually
stacking or storing the grain.
Protecting the Crop.
Stacking can be carried on every mo-
ment Of the day that the wheat Is dry
enough to handle. If the stack is un-
completed at night or when a shower
comes up it can be covered with tar
paulin. With his grain once safely in
the stack the farmer is Independent of
the weather and the machine boss and
ca1 go ahcdt his other work serenely
conscious that he has done his duty in
safeguarding his principal cash crop.
