WATER Is HAULED FROM
WELLS BY FARMERS

Sumter county farmers, in several
localities, are hauling their drinking
water for miles from artesian wells
in Americas and in the smaller towns,
as nearly all surface wells have fail
ed during the protracted drought.
Down at Leslie the wagons come for
three or four miles daily and haul
away barrels of artesian water to farm
houses in that locality.

FALL SEEDING OF GRASS.
By w. HANSON, Illinois.

There are m everywhere who
cling most tenaciously to the notion
that fall seeding of grass with fall
grains is best; that they obtain a bet
ter stand and a better yield OF nay
than from spring seeding.
The fast suggests that the business
of farming is not one Of absolute but
of relative achievements. The kind OF
soil, lay of land and condition OF
weather, all these things operate Sc
weather, all these operate seriously as
to results.
out in one locality, n field, will not
do in another locality and in another
field.
The fact that frequently better and
more hay may be secured through fall
thar through spring seeding in some
may be attributed to the follow
ing reaSOnS:
It may happen that h soil is of
loose texture and is easily worked;
one that otherwise cannot long retain
moisture in the early summe n in
times of drought; where burning off
of spring-soWn grass might follow ,and
where location of field is such that in
the winter the snow will evenly cover
it, thus preventing it from freezing n
heaving out.
When grass seed is sown upon early
plowed grass sod the autumn-even
very ate-iS a better time for seeding
thar the spring.
At a season when rains are frequent
there will not be as much reason to
bring the sod into good capillary ac-
ton as there would be in the spring,
at a time when the young plants are
forced to depend in a great measure
on the store Of moisture that the LAND
has accumulated during the winter.
By seeding grass seed in the fall the
seeds of weeds as we'll as those of
grass will g~erminate. and the early
frost will then kill the terminated
Weed seeds and not hurt the germi-
mated grass seeds.
In his manner weeds that might
otherwise do positive injury to young
grass are put out of the way alto
gether.
It must be remembered that grass
seed and cereal grain seed will germi-
nate and grow at much lower tempe
natures than most of the really hurt
full weeds.
Those weed seeds not terminating
will not cause to the grass
plantlets when those plant1ets have
once becom we'll established. Fall
grain seeded with grass will help to
hold a covering of snow upon the land
during the winter and SO tend to shield
the grass from harm.

THE FARMER.
Titt1a River Record

(Llttle River RecOrd.)
l. "The farmer feeds them all" 1t
ought to give enthusiasm to the far
mer that he is such an important man.
that he is keeping alive Gods work
ers. that he is actually creating sup
plies that enrich the world.
2. The farmer as few other toilers is
"a laborer together with God" God
furnishes the earth, fertility to the
soil, heat, moisture, etc, while man
tills h soil, furnishes brain (some-
tlmes) and muscle and the result is
food for the world. God and man
working together, each dependent on
the other.
God does not make corn without
man and man cannot without God.
3. The intelligent and Industrious
farmer not only finds abundant re-
Enumeration for his labor but has op-
portunity to live the happiest and pur-
est life in the world. He has time for
meditation and prayer as few others.
He is spared much Of the trial and
many temptations that come to all
others. He is free as no Others indie
pendent, has no nan nor set of men to
whom he must look for his living and
to whom he must daily render account

year you must get at least s45 out OF
her.
No other branch of live stock keep
ing can compare with the dairy busi-
ness for enriching the farm.
Over-ripe cream means strong but
ter; over-churned and over-worked
cream means soft butter.
By actual chemical analysis a quart
Of milk is said to possess as much
nutritive value as a pound of beef
steak.
What is the use of weighing the
milk Of each cow? Not much, only
to show exactly which of your cows
are paying their board. Isn't that
enough?
A kicking cow has been known To
kick the boys clear off the farm and
into the city. If you have one, SELL
her to the butcher.
The frequent application of elbow
grease insures clean milk, clean sep

clean reputation.

Clearing hedge rows, fences and
