The weather bureau at
Washington, last evening made
the following special forecast:
Frost warnings have been
issued for the middle Atlantic
states and the eastern lower
lake region, western Colorado,
eastern Wyoming, Utah and
Northern Arizona, and warn
ings of freezing temperature
for western Wyoming. Added
to this flood warnings have
been issued for the lower Rio
Grande river valley, and supple
mentary warnings for the Red
river valley in Arkansas. 1t is
evident that the weather men
do not take a very optimistic
view of the coming of summer,
but we will live in hope that
they will be badly mistaken.

Gage county farm lands have

little desirable property in the
market. Two of the biggest
sales reported recently are
given in our list of transfers

sales of an 80 acre tract seven
miles northeast of the city by
Fernando Hoyle to Henry
Meints for $1,000, and the sale
of a quarter section four miles
east of town by Geo. Townsend
to Fernando Hoyle for $l4,400.
Ninety dollars an acre for land
without any valuable improve

Try Crimson Glover.

Crimson clover with oats is an ex-
pertinent worth trying. We have oats
and crimson clover together, but have
heard the plan recommended. If
they succeed and the oats are cut at
the proper time to make oat hay the
product will be richer hay than if
Il were all oats. Oats and vetch make
fine hay also; but in sowing either
crimson clover or vetch the land needs
to contain the necessary bacteria for
these plants, or they will. not succeed.
1t will be worth your while to try
both these plants with oats. Sow one
bushel oats and pounds of GRIM
Con clover per acre. Sow the oats first
end then the crimson clover, as the
dover should not be covered deep. =
For vetch and oats, sow 20 pounds
ystch and one bushel of oats per acre.
m this instance SOW the vetch first
as the vetch seed will stand deeper
covering than the oats.-Progressiv

The Appetite Of a Bird.

The average man, II he had a bird g
appetite, would devour from thirty to
thirty-one pounds Of food day, which
would be tax on the larder.
Recent experiments have proved
that the average bird manages to eat
about one-fifth of his own weight daily
with ease, If he can get so much food,
and IN wild state, though the bird
has to hunt for his daily provender, he
is eating q large part of the time dur
ing the day and manages to get his
full rations.
The SINAI or the bird, the more vo-
racious seyms to be its appetite and
its power Of absorption.
A German scientist recently kept a
canary under observation for month.
The little creature weighed only 16
grams, but in the course of the month
1t managed to eat 512 grams weight Of
food; that is, about thirty-two times
its own weight. The bird must there
fore have eaten its own weight in
food every day.
An ordinary man with a canary's ap-
petite would consume $50 pounds of
food day.
But the canary Is an extreme case.
The ordinary bird, in good health, will
be satisfied with one-fifth of its weight
a day by way Of food.-Answers.

The Value Of lequmes.

One of the state stations, as most
Of them do, lays strong claim to the
leguminous plants for soil fertility, as
well as for immediate crops. Two of
these are specially referred to in terms
following:
The COW pea and soy bean belong
to the legume family. These plants
are able, through the medium of bac-
terra which are associated with their
root systems, to assimilate free nitro
gen from the soil air. This character
istic makes these plants a valuable
, asset to the farmers list of crops.
AS forage crops the COW pea and
soy bean should be given conspic-
uous place in the rotation. The grain
and forage thus obtained furnish nit
rogenous material for the ration which
Is used in feeding the live stock on
the farm.
On upland soils both crops will re-
spond to applications of barnyard
manure, hence this by-product of the

Profit In Trees.

Farmers who are planting lpcust
trees declare that there is no more
profitable way of utilizing cheap land.
They figure 1t this way: Two thous-
and four hundred trees can be planted
to an acre; in eight years these trees
will be large enough to cut for fence
posts and each tree will yield two
posts. At retail these posts will be
worth 25 cents each, or so cents a
tree. That means at retail crop
worth $1,000 per acre at the end Of
eight years, or an average of $3.50 an
acre year.-Kansas City Journal.

How Tommy Jones Helped.

Tommy Jones went to see his Uncle
Samuel In the country; and II you will
believe me 1t was the first time hs
had even been In the real, red-barn
country. He had been to mountains
and seashore, but Tommy did not
think that they counted. OF course
he was very much interested in every.
thing and especially in what Uncle
Samuel called his Chores"
Tommy wanted to help, and while
his intentions were often, II not al
ways good, his results were some
times disastrous, as you shall see.
TT seems" said Uncle Samuel, 10
be his nature to do uncommon awful
things"
The lawnmower was great delight
to Tommy. He lived in fiat when at
home and he thought the lawnmower
looked like his mothers parlor sweep
er, and he called It outdoor broom"
Could he have had his way he would
have leveled all nature and not have
stopped at the front lawn. When he
first saw his uncle cutting grass he
said; Uncle Sam1, why don't you
NOV the whole placer"
Son." said his uncle, 81 have only
one pair Of hands and one lawnmow-
er; | can't do more than kin"
Which was very true, Of course, and
1t set Tommy thinking.
Next morning, after Uncle Samuel
had gone to the meadow, Tommy
Jones took the lawnmower and made
up bis mind to help his uncle In fine
and splendid way. 1t was very quiet;
every one seemed gone to some dis
tant spot, and Tommy and the lawn
mower had things to themselves.
Tommy fixed his eagle eye upon the
landscape and finally 1t rested upon
the vegetable garden, and the promis-
ing rows of young and aspiring eat
ables.
Here Is work." said Tommy Jones,
and he was right. He would NOW
the garden for Uncle Samuel and help
him best he could. It was no easy
matter, as you can readily see. Tom
my almost wept from exhaustion and
the beads of honest perspiration fell
from his brow. For two hours he
pushed and hauled, uprooting and
crushing down as hopeful lot Of
garden truck as thrifty farmer could
wish to see. After he was through,
the place looked like one of earth's
battlefields with the slain painfully
mangled. There was only one thing
to be said, everything was down
but Tommy, and he was down in his
spirits.
Then the people came back, and
Uncle Samuel, in Mortified silence,
viewed the mornings efforts of his
young guest. Many Of the family said
things calculated to hurt the feelings
of an honest boys heart, and Tommy
drooped terribly. Then Uncle Samuel
came to the fore in a remarkable and
manly manner.

songsters from the North. When they
