Though Adam owned a telephone
He led loving life,
When lovely woman smiled on him
And Eve became his wife.
She was the fairest blushing bride
That ever had been seen,
Arrayed in her new-fangled gown
All made of solid green
Rare fruits were in profusion,
While flowers decked the board
With viands of the rarest
All Eden could afford.
Her bridal robe was up-to-date,
His clothes were neat and new.
For Adam was gentleman
And Eve was gentle too.

To watch them jump the broom.

SunflOwer Philosophy.

Those who have competition
don't consider t the life o f
trade.
Surprising how many people
stand ready to help YOU when
you don't need help
The man who smokes without
smoking too much does't G t
much satisfaction out o f that
habit.
A funny sight is a very large
woman wearing a waist button
ed down the back with very
small buttons.
1t takes a great deal longer to
quit bad habit than it takes 20
learn it.
| No man worries much for fear
his daughter is going to grow up
and be an old maid.
That theory that time flies
didn't originate with a hungry
man waiting for the dinner horn
to blow.
This would be lovely world
if men were as patient in other
things as they are in waiting for
a fish to bite.
When a girl begins to S t
around with that far away look
in her eyes father begins to in
vestigate to see whether the
young man amounts to anything.
No man was ever so busy he
forgot when pay day comes.
Many people seem to think
that the simple life is a good
thing for the o.her fellow.
| If you have saved up a lot of
money people are wondering why
you don't give it away.
Ever notice that two thirds of
the people who pass the barber
shop always look in?
A woman likes to say of her
husband that she doesn't believe
he ever would get up if she did
not call him.
! What has become of the old
fashioned man who thought he
couldn't keep house without a
bootjack and a box of vegetable
pills?
While it isn't necessary to
catch cold in order to get free

more of it in that way than by

Farm Notes.
There is money in hogs.

Trade one OF the pups for pig.
Wean the colt at from six to
seven months.
The old hens become overfed
more easily than pullets.
Nothing stimulates the system
of the hog like pasturage.
In marketing milk both the
producer and consumer must be
satisfied.
The finer the teeth Of the cul-
rlvator the finer and more salts
factory the work.
Hogs, especially brood Sows,
should have salt where they can
/ 60 to it at any time.
A wide sweeping fine toothed
harrow intelligently used is the
/ greatest enemy of weeds.
! For egg farming on a large
scale the colony system is best
suited to permanent operations.
! Drought has little terror for
the man whose farm grows few
weeds and the soil is we'll han
died.
Teach your boy how to shoe
horses, sharpen plows and use
tools intelligently. He will take
pride in making the needed re-
pairs around the home if allowed
the use of sharp tools and en-
outraged to make the home at
tractive.
Weeds will always be in the
land to a certain extent unless
every farmer will clean his grain
and work to destroy them in
place of sowing the seed and try
ing to cultivate the weeds out.
The day of the wooden pail
and the old dash churn that
could be purchased at the cross
road store has gone by.
Chicks Matched during April
and to the middle of May will, if
properly!grown, make laying pull
lets for the coming winter.
The holes for your new trees
must be made larger and deep
enough to receive the entire root
|
system without crowding or
cramping.
| Always use box stalls whenever
practicable. A horse tied in a
narrow stall is never quite COM
Portable and is in more or less
danger of being cast.
There never was time in
the history of Americ a
when we had so any
opportunities for engaging in the
growing of really good horses
than now.
The first potatoes cultivated
in Germany were planted in 1447.
The people did not take kindly to
the tuber and the government
was obliged to force farmers to
raise them.
The only way to ever get a
farm clean is to make a deter
mined effort from the very first
day of spring not to let weeds
grow an hour more than possible
after they first show.
