| this we do not mean to abandon the oats.
Probably the best crop you can have to
follow spring oats is rape. This should
be seeded early i'm March. Get it in the
ground Immediately and SOW in rows "a
inches apart and cultivate several times
until the leaves spread across the rows.
Some spring oats may be sown for graz
ing - :a,tcw the rape. Then, if you plant
an early maturing variety of cowpeas,
like Warren's Extra Early, or the New
Era, and follow with later maturing va
rieties like the Clay and Wonderful, you
should be able 10 carry your hogs through
until fall without the use of much corn.
We would advise you to bring soy beans
into the rotation, growing some of the
extra early varieties like the Black, Me-
dunn Green and the Mammoth Yellow.
The soy bean requires longer TO mature
than the cowpea and will help to lengthen
the grazing period. For fall grazing we
would certsinly have peanuts and chufas,
and patch of artichokes planted for
the winter will prove a good investment.
BY bringing as many Of these crops into
the rotation as possible, and using late
and early maturing varieties, you can
have a fine succession of feed for hogs
Throughout. the greater part of the year.
1t should pay you to buy a hand sep
arator where you have as much as 10
gallons of milk to handle per day. There
are various makes of machines on the
market, and any of the standard makes
will give you good satisfaction. A bar
rel or box churn is as satisfactory as any
type you can use. a separator enables
you to concentrate your milk, ripen your
cream wit1A the use of but little ice for
controlling 1.-THE temperature, and there
fore to put a better quality of butter on
the market. Twenty-Five cents for but
ter the year around is a fair price, though
you should be able to obtain at least 80
cents. Difficulty in churning is due
largely to a failure to control tempera-
lures. Where this is properly done. milk
can be churned as easily at one season
of the year as another.
You are right in suggestion that farm
ers should grow the greatest variety OF
products possible at home and stop de-
pending so much on the town and city
for things which can be made cheaper on
the farm. What we need to do is to d.
versify crop production, engage more
largely in live stock industries, and stop
growing cotton for Is cents a pound for
which the net return to the farmer Is
less than l-2 cents when you take into
consideration the supplies which he buys
from other states and which he could
raise at home with profit and satisfac-
ton.

teriaI A ton OF chicken manure which
has been carefully preserved contains
three-fourths as much nitrogen as a
ton of 2-s-2 fertilizer. one-sixth as
much phosporic acid and one-half as
much potash. AS a matter of fact,
chicken manure ferments so readily
that a part OF the nitrogen is likely
to be lost, and where the manure has
stood for some time, the content of this
element is in all probability consider
ably lower than the figures given. In
using this material as fertilizer Il
should be applied rather literally TO Sc
cure the best results. Two tons per
acre is certainly a modest application.
In that case, about 800 pounds Of high

Steady Advertising Wins.

Some merchants seem to think that
an occasional appearance in the
advertising columns is enough to
demonstrate their enterprise as givers
of good value
They would laugh at competition
who closed up his store every little
while, thus turning away possible
customers, and permitting trade to
drift elsewhere. They forget that the
search Of the public for the best
values is begun not on the street, but
in the home. The first step is to look
over the news of the retail stores, as
contained in newspaper advertising,
to see who is widest. awake, who is
giving the most for the dollar.
Failure to respond to the prelim-
nary search for Information is as fatal
as closing the doors of your store in
business hours. Customers come down
town with the purchase half made.
The merchants who responds to their
demand for information about his
offerings get the first visit, and the
cream of the trade. The rest take the
Ieavings.

Although the motion of Aid.
Barnett in regard to the purchase of a
dumping ground did not carry at last
weeks council meeting, the senti-
ment seemed to be that some action
should be taken to prohibit the
dumping tin cans, ashes, etc, on
the city highways. The street lead
ing to Hillside cemetery has been a
favorite dumping ground for many
citizens, some carrying their refuse
there in violation of direct orders re-
ceived from city officers. A case was
cited where marshal Mccarthy ordered
an individual whom he caught in the
act of dumping tin cans, old stove
pipes etc by the side of this street, to
reload the stuff ard carry it away
which the man did. A day later
however it was found that he returned
and again dumped his load in the
same place. A man who will take
the pains that this fellow did to dis
obey the orders of a city officer can
only be handled in one way.

Chief Justice Fuller and Ex-Speaker
Reed. The place came unsought by
Mr.. Duncalf. It is seldom that a
young man is called from the west to
take position in the faculty of an
eastern college. These colleges are
surrounded by such universities as
Harvard and Yale and can if they
choose draw from the graduates of
the above institutions for their corps
of intructors The selection OF a
western man shows how highly the
University of Wisconsin and it's pro-
ducts are regarded in the east. Mr..
Duncalf will have charge of the
institution of the Oxford tuteIage sys'
tenn, which will be tried at BowdUin

chances are gone and you have
wasted some precious years of
your life, then you often real
ize the opportunities you had, es-
pecially when you arrive at the
age Of maturity and responsibility
is forced upon you.
Now, young readers, with your
school days ahead Of you, take
advantage of this t me to fore
stall ell such bemoaning. Deter
mine that this year will be we'll
used, and will mean a forN ard
step Intellectually, and when Lext
vacation comes your RETROSPECT
tion will develop the fact that you
have expanded both mentally and
morally, and have a much wider
knowledge.
To not a few pupils this deter
mination will mean a changed at
titude to school life. 1t will no
longer be a place where hours
each day are to be endured or a
or place to have as much pleas
ure and as little work to do as
can be accomplished. In some
instances, especially during col
lege life. girls have a mistaken
idea that these days are intel2ded
as a preparatory step into society,
not realizing that a thorough
training and understanding Of the
subjects taught will be the best
passport to society. Therefore,
make up your minds, girls, that
these school days are no longer
time in your life to be endured
because your parents have an
idea that education is Of s,;me
value, and that your only aim is
get through without failing in eX-
aminatlons.
If school means to you what it
should you will think less of eX-
aminations and more Of the r en-
tai benefits, and work with d de-
termination to develop your God
given faculties to their highest
attainment.

Vacation is Over

Vacation is a thing of memo
ries and while there are some who
are incorrigibly lazy and are be-
moaning their fate, but Judging
from the ones that has been asked
the question, says Eve in the
Times-Democrat. if they are were
sorry to have school begin, that
they are not, They will have a
pang of regret that the glorious
days Of nothing but fun are over,
but even all pleasure pals when
not combined with some work.
Each girl and boy should ask
the question: What is this new
school year to mean to me? They
must realize by this question that
the result depends largely upon
their efforts and not entirely upon
the teacher. 1t is sad fact that
few girls and boys awaken to the
meaning of education until it is
too late to mend. When your
