RAISING GRASS.
Not Half of the Hay Land Properly
Prepared Before Seeding.

Prepared Before Seeding.
Many New England farmers do not
half prepare the land previous to re-
seeding. If a piece of wcsnsut timothy
land should be taken | would first plow
deeply, turning the soil all over-that
i plow as deeply as possible without
turning up much OF The subsoil, then
manure generously ana wheel harrow
thoroughly and plant to corn.
Potatoes the Second Year.
The second year pillow and cultivate
thoroughly and plant to early potatoes.
With a generous application of high
grade commercial fertilizer this will
not only improve the quality of the
potatoes, but will also prove a good
preparation for the grass which Is to
follow.
Dig and market the potatoes Aug. j.
Clear the land of weeds and potato
tops and If very dry give 1t thorough
wheel narrowing, the more the better,
after which apply 400 or 800 pounds of
high grade fertilizer to the acre, when
it is ready for seeding, advises an ex-
perienced farmer in New England
Homestead. Use half bushel of best
timothy seed obtainable, with a peck
of clean redtop. Use the smoothing
harrow again and roll.
Should the Season Be Wet.
Should tie season be wet it is better
to plow and then harrow. The seeding
can be done to best advantage the lat
ter part of August, although l have
seeded with excellent results as late as
the middle of October. Ground seeded
down in this manner will give best X
suits if top dressed yearly in the spring
with chemical fertilizer Analysing
per cent ammonia, 6 per cent available
phosphoric acid and per cent potash.
Apply Dressing In Spring.
If the ground be dry l would apply
this dressing as early in the spring as
the grass begins to grow. Upon wet
land l would wait until the ground is
dry enough TO drive on to it, even
though as late as the latter part of
May. A generous application of am
monia in this way will increase the
life Of timothy for many years. while
without it the weeds and wild grasses
will crowd it out The proper feed,
ing will also enable the roots better
to Withstand our severe New England
winters and be in much less danger OF
being winter killed
Precaution is better than repentance.

Using the Fire Buckets.

In many business offices fire buckets
are placed, filed with water, in readi-
ness for an emergency. 1t is seldom,
says the Scientific American, that in
structions for use are pinned near the
supply. The wrong way to tackle an
incipient fire is USUALLY to hurl the
whole contents of bucket on the spot
Most of the water is wasted by this
means. A heavy sprinkling is more
effective. The water may be splashed
on the blaze by hand, but more use
full sprinkler is long haired white
wash brush. One of these should hang
beside every nest of fire buckets.

Bacteria In Butter.

PSYCHOLOGISTS have shown us that
ordinary butter is swarming with
germs" declares Good Health. "a sin
gle teaspoonful of milk generally con-
tains from 100000 to 100000 germs.
The number may even be much larger
than this. In the removal of cream
from the milk the germs are taken with
1t, and in the process of churning the
germs are collected with the fat, so in
the butter we have the concentration
Of large part of the germs contained
in the milk from which the butter was
derived. So in a pound of butter de-
rived from twenty pints of milk the
number of bacteria must be almost be-
yond estimate. A brief computation
will show that the number Of bacteria
contained in a pound of butter might
easily reach the enormous sum of five
to ten billions

Here ItIs Again.

The only coach on the evening train
from Kansas City last Saturday
night mad, when it left independence,
by actual count, one hundred and
.forty-nine people in seats, standing
up and out on the platforms.
The full seating capacity of the
car is seventy-two. Therefore, the
car had more than twice as many
passengers as it could accommodate.
The coach was full when it got to
Lexington. This is a weekly occur
renee. No wonder people are out of
patience with the railroads of the
country! The school boys and girls
are beginning to come in. Wonder if
they are going to have the same ex-
perience the passengers on the Lex
ington Branch had last Saturday
night and, almost every other Sat
urday? What is the Missouri Pacific
going to do about it? Are we to have
no better accommodation than we are
now having? Down in Oklahoma
when a passenger has to stand up he
rides free. Therefore there are al
ways plenty of coaches and seats.

CONVENTION PLEDGES
Democratic Party to Purity Of the
Ballot.

Democratic Party TO Purify OF The
Ballot.
The Democratic party favors the
fairest and fullest expression of the
voters of the polls, and pledges an
earnest ana sincere purpose to pro-
tect the integrity of the ballot. In
accord with this high purpose, the
Democratic party has gwen the
State an absolutely impartial elect
ion law, under the provisions of
which the Republicans have equal
representation with the Democrats in
Judges and clerks at each polling
place in the State; every possible
safeguard is provided for the pre-
ventiou of fraud and for the secrecy
of the ballot of the honest voter, and
drastic penalties prescribed for the
punishment of those who violate the
law. No fraud can be penetrated
without the consent and c%onnivance
of the Judges and clerks of both par
les appointed upon the recommended
tion of theiz respective committees.
If in spite of these safeguards, fraud
is perpetrated at any election or
primary, the Democratic party fay
ors the amendment of the law so that
the ballot boxes may be opened if
necessary to the successful prosecu-
ton and conviction of those who vio-
late its provisions, and we demand
the vigorous prosecution of all viola
tors of the law without fear or favor
or hope of mere partisan advantage.
In striking contrast with this fair
and impartial Democratic law is the
brutal record of the Republican party
leaders when in power in this State
when they moi only refused Demo
Gratis presentation in judges and
clerks, but for purely partisan ad'
vantage deprived General Frank p.
Blair and thousands OF other honest
law-abiding and loyal citizens of the
State of the right to vote, and, il
order to defeat the honestly ex-
pressed will of the people, burned thu
ballots which their own judges ant
clerks had accepted as legal, for tn,
purpose Of giving to Republicans tn
Offices to which Democrats we're fairl.
elected.
We denounce the insincere pre-
tense of the Republican press an
Republican party leaders in thei
loud and false clamor for fair elec'
ions. We gladly challenge a CON
parison of the records Of the tw
leading parties in Missouri on thi
e important issue.
We condemn the action of the RI
publican party bosses in their effol
to nullify the primary in this Stat
, by fixing the State ticket in secre
caucus in advance of the primar
= election.
We favor an amendment to the pr
mary law prohibiting the members {
one party from participating in tn
