Sheep and Hogs-May Be

Rape is one of the excellent forage
crops that is easily grown. 1t is
hardy plant that gives large crops,
suitable for pasture, being especially
valuable for sheep and hogs. If not
pastured too severely, 1t will grow up
again and again several times in a
season, making later pasturage in the
fall than any other crop, often long
after frcst has killed other forms of
vegetation. This plant is member
of the cabbage family. Dwarf Essex
is the best known variety and the one
commonly grown.
Rape will grow on variety of soils.
It may be sown any time in the spring
as soon as the ground will do to work
From eight to ten weeks are required
for the plant to complete its growth.
If sown early in the spring, early sum-

Felix Smith of Easton, Pa, bought
cat the other day. He paid IS for
her. Why did Felix pay five bucks
for the cat? Answer-Because she
was guaranteed to be good ratter.
Did Felix have rats? We should say
he did-the house was full of EN-!
And the cat cleaned 'em out! No;
that's the curious part of it. After the
cat had been on the job a week the
rats were as plentiful as ever. Felix

ming he concealed himself in the base
ment to watch the cat. About 9 p. m,

out of the hole, walked up to the old
cat, kissed her goodnight and then
returned to the hole. After that Felix
kicked the cat out of the house.-Bos-

DA|RYMEN TO GET GOOD COWS
MUST RAISE THEIR HERDS
Successful Daymen Grade Up Their Herds By Keeping Good
Sres Pure Bred Stock Is BeSt-Many CuIIS on Market
Settlers Do Not Part With Their Best Animals

The question is frequently asked
whether It is better to breed or to buy
COWS. This of course, depends greatly
upon circumstances, but experience
has taught that the most successful
dairymen breed their own cows.
Good quality is the point that should
be aimed at. This can be better OBJ
tained by breeding than by purchas-
ing animals here and there as required.
There are many reasons why it Is
more profitable for dairymen owning
fair sized farms to taeed than to buy.
In purchasing, the best judges are
frequently misled by appearances. AS
a rule sellers do not part with their
best cows, consequently there are
more culls on the market than high
class animals, Buyers have therefore
a great deal of picking and choosing
to do, and good mixers nearly always
bring their full value.
Be sure and keep a bull that has
come from a long line of good milk
producing stock. The purer bred he
is the better he will be and the more
likely will he be to transmit his good
qualities to his offspring. The heifers
from the best COWS should be reared
to take the place of the animals that
for various reasons are disposed of.
The system of breeding allows the
dairyman to keep only the best COWS
while some one else gets the culls. If
the butcher secures them, so much
the better for the dairymen in gen
eral.
Unfortunately farmers have not as
yet been thoroughly educated to the
advantage Of feeding animals that pro.

of the tree until it is ready for cut
ting. Then, if after having figured
the money invested at certain rate
at compound interest for the period Of
rotation, we find we are making mon
ey above that which we might make
by placing the land to some other use,
we can safely go ahead and plant or
SOW, as the case may be, the land with
forest trees of the paying kind.
The question is often asked, What
trees would you advise me to plant?"
This is often hard question to an.
swer as the successful raising of trees
for profit, depends not only on the
soil and climate, but, as with agricul-
tural crops, on the man who does the
work. These general rules, however,
may be laid down: First, that it is
always safer to raise a species of tree
which is native to the region than to
raise one that must be acclimated; ;
second, that all things being equal
the fastest growing tree should be
chosen; third, the trees that will bring
the most money in the market, and
that can be raised in the largest num-
ber per acre at the least expense;
fourth, the trees that have the fewest
enemies and can stand the climatic
changes the Ecst.
Now you may ask, How can know
or find out these facts?" There are
several ways: One is to write to your
experiment station for the informa-
ton; another is by observation and
study. A farmer in southern Ohio
owned a fine farm but the locust trees
were so persistent in coming up and
occupying the ground that he gave up
in disgust and sold his farm. Then
he saw the man who bought it give
over the farm to the growing of locust
trees and in a short time make, out
of the locust trees for fence posts,
more than enough to pay for the
farm.
In some localities we could recon-
mend the locust as good commercial
crop, in others the catalpa and in still
others the white ash, ETC. Every To-
cality has it's own peculiarity as to
soil, climate, etc, so that no hard and
fast rules can be given. The same
holds true as to market prices.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a ju
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfiower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food

physical condition-as a preventive of
disease it is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benefi-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when us.d
by ladies who are troubled with FACE
blemishes, skin eruptions, et'. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to it's nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-

THE UNEXPECTED GUEST.

1t is not always possible even in a

occasions. and when any is used 1t is
supplied to fill the shelves for the
next occasion. Potted meats and fish.

RafflInn the Mosnulto.

Last summer we were pestered with
the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night
after night, and on one occasion
killed between thirty and forty in our
bedroom, at midnight. The following
day took a wooden cloth, put little
kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both
sides of the wire mesh of the screens
with it. That night one lonely mos
quito disturbed our rest. Two or
three times each week | rubbed the
screens in like manner and we en-
joyed peace the rest of the summer.
