Work the Seed Bed,

The biggest kind of mistake Is
made when wheat land is plowed early
and left untouched by harrow or any
other kind of pulverizer. When
wheat ground is plowed during August
1t usually tus-s up cloddy, and If it is
left in this condition very long there
will not be left enough moisture to
start the wheat. Flowing the ground
during dry spell will kill the weeds,
and if the harrow follows close upon
the heels of the plow not much mois-
ture will be lost. Some prefer to wait
until just at seeding time before they
put the harrOws to work. You cannot
get clean, fine seed bed by that meth
cd. Keep the haprows going from the
time the ground III plowed up to seed
ing time, and by all means harrow
thoroughly after every rain. This
method Of culture will be much easier
to drill in the seed shallow and evenly.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.



Young Beach Hargls of Kentucky q
few months ago shot and instantly
killed his father.
MonstrouS!
But wait
Behind the bald facts Of the shoot
Ing are some things that throw diff
ferent light on the dark shadows Of
the pitiful tragedy.
The plans for the defense In the
trial Of the young man show some
hideous disclosures in the early years
Of Hargis' life.
When he was but a child his father
often made him drunk with whisky.
He did so for his diversion, laughing
ut the maudin antics of the boy. Not
content to be entertained alone by his
child's debauchery. he invited In the
neighbors to enjoy the vaudeville.
Is it any wonder the boy grew up a
drunkard?
Or that seduced by his father from
decency, he should be without natural
affection?
At the early age of fourteen Beach
Hargls was a besotted young savage.
His prime ambition was to shoot some
enemy from behind a hedge or engage
in the feud wars Of the countryside.
From infancy Hargis taught his son
the expert use Of firearms, thus point
ing n gun at his own breast.
Later. says the boy. his father de-
veloped strong hatred toward him.
Time and again, without excuse, he
beat the boy into insensibility.
Put yourself III the place Of the son.
with his rearing and surroundings.
He was little more than young ami
NAL, without conscience or mercy or
regard for human life.
And THE BOY WAS WHAT HIS
FATHER MADE HIM.
The teaching Of this tale Of horror Is
plain
You will reap what you SOW, and
more than you SOW. The law Of COM
pensation holds Suffering necessarily
follows sin.
And YOUR BOY will be what you
make him.
Now he is putty in your hands. Soft
putty takes impressions. You can mold
your boy into good or evil shape. BY
and by the putty will harden. 1t is
then too late to mold 1t.
II you SOW in that boyish heart evil
thoughts. hatred. recklessness, disre-
gard Of your fatherhood. why
TOUR BOY WILL KILL YOU.
Oh, no; not with a gun perhaps. but
there Is more than one way to kill a
father. 1t may be by slower process,
less merciful than gunshot, but he will
kill you just the same.
Are you bringing up parricide?

Alfalfa For Dairy Cattle.

Alfalfa is exceedingly rich In pro-
TEN, the element in which corn and
other crops are deficient. and hence it
serves admirably as balance to the
feeding ration, saving the purchase Of
high priced feedstuffs, such as wheat
bran. 1t is this high quality that makes
1t especially priced as factor in dairy
husbandry. 1t supplies the one requi-
site which Providence had apparently
failed to provide in establishing the
otherwise ready made conditions for
dairying in Kansas. +. d. Coburn,

1t is Of the greatest Importance that
we keep up the fertility Of our farms.
No good farmer will try to sell OF ev-
erything produced on his farm unless
he purchases large quantities Of fer
tilizer, because he knows his land will
become exhausted by so doing. The
farmer who sells Off his hay and other
crops, keeping little or no live stock
and returning nothing to the soil, Is
pursuing very shortsighted course
and will soon find that his farm will
produce nothing to sell because the
soil has become exhausted.

other grains may be substituted in a

lions barley has been tested In COM
parison with corn, the result being
very favorable to the barley. In gen.
eral, it may be said that the results
have shown that barley is not quite
equal to corn, pound for pound. but is
very close to 1t, and when we consider
the high quality Of the carcass pro-
duced by barley feeding we may al
most say It surpasses corn as grain
