scandinavian Dinner Custom.

GENTLY numerous, and in this strange
manner the guests go in to dinner.

pears grotesque to the foreigner, and
is without charm and without gracs.--

This timothy and clover will not only net a good income, but will increase
the fertility of the soil, thus putting it in fine shape for grain growing when
the vets eason is over Land worth $50 to 800 a acre is too valuable to let
lie as waste land, when you can easily get SIG a acreo out Of it. The trouble
in such cases is that such land las always been waste land, and the farmers
attention has never been called to the possibility of recaimnig it easily and
cheapIy. Sometimes a shallow ditch through the lowest part will carry off
most of the water quickly thereby rendering a portion of the ground suitable
for certain crop. - ~
OF course, the real remedy is a thorough system of drainage, with tiles
running back well Ito the nigh grounds. "
