Eighth General Assembly When the battle in the Legs

The State Undoubtedly Wants County Option
The next General Assembly in 1918 1t ought to
give the state County local option law 1t ought to enact
certain other laws including effective Law Enforcement
and Residence District option law. There is little question
but that the majority of the citizens of Illinois favorable to
these propositions and Illinois ought have the legislation she

Social Distinction.

In some parts of the south the
darkies are still addicted to the old
style country dance in a big hall, with
the fiddlers. banjoists and other mu-
sicians on the platform at one end.
At one such dance held not long
ago in an Alabama town, when the
fiddlers had duly resined their bows
and taken their places on the plat
form the floor manager rose.
"Git you partners fo' de mex dance!"
he yelled. "All you ladies an gennul-

and how she is enabled to Withstand

arduous occupation. She says:

Grape-Nuts food. 1t has, assure you,
proven an inestimable boon to me.
almost Immediately after beginning
the use of Grape-Nuts found a graft
flying change in my condition. The ter

FARM NOTES.

The drains should be properly laid
out and carefully graded.
Be a manufacturer, by converting
the grain and hay grown upon your
farm into finished products.
Don't sell hay and grain from your
land, 1t is poor farming and will make
both you and your land poor.
When clover can be grown profit
able crops can be grown and the land
kept up by clover and lime.
II your plants are tall and spindly
thin them out. Do not be afraid to
cut--go at them courageously.
Rich horse manure and urine from
grain-fed cattle is far superior to fer
ti.izers and very much cheaper.
Truckers prefer rotted horse ma.
nure for vegetables. as It is finer.
richer and can be spread easily.
! The only way to decrease the
amount of smut In corn is to pluck
off the smut-balls and burn them.
Good seed, good cultivation, good
comon sense are a pretty good COM
bination. II good crops are desired.
1t is a great thing to know just
when a plant needs water. 1t Is
matter that requires close observa-
ton.
String beans should be drilled in
double rows six inches apart with
just enough space between to allow
for cultivation.
Keep up the warfare on weeds in
the cornflelds these hot days, when
soil moisture needs to be conserved
to its utmost limit.
A profitable crop cannot be grown
on land deficient in humus, which Is
the same thing as rotted sod or rotted
manure with fertilizer alone.
The loss incurred from plant dis.
eases is often underestimated by the
farmer, passes unrecognized or is re-
garded as natural and inevitable.
There is no professional study that
requires closer work than does the
development Of the corn plant-a
combination Of brain, toll and nature.
1t has been found that the seeds of
many weeds will retain their vitality
for fifteen to twenty-five years. pos.
sibly longer. and not all of the given
years seed grows in any one year.

NARROWING HOLDS MOISTURE
One Of Most Important Objects West.
ern Farmer Must Bear In Mind.
Especially During Fall.

The proper method OF farming. un.
like many trades or lines Of business.
cannot be confined by any hard and
fast rules.
Different soils require different
treatment. and treatment which
might be ideal for one season might
not be equally SO for the next How.
ever. the conservation OF moisture 10
one OF the most important. II not the
most important. objects the western
farmer must keep in mind and con.
duct all his operations with that end
In view.
He must keep this In mind when fall
plowing. but opinions differ as to the
best method. Some say they harrow
down: others say leave 1t rough to
hold the snow. l have observed and
tried both methods. writes Charles
W. n. Tinott In Campbell's Farmer.
but ! always harrow we'll the ground
as plowed each day. and will try to
explain why this should give best
results. Almost every season some
rain falls during harvest or later in
the season. 80 that. as a rule. the
stubble ground turns quite moist:
and believing the old proverb. "A
bird in hand Is worth two In the
BUSH" ! think this should be har-
rowed at once. for II Is surprising
how rapidly newly plowed land will
dry out even In the fall.
Then regarding the holding OF
snow. We are told that 1t takes seven
inches OF snow to make one inch OF
water. SO 1t can be seen that even
very roughly plowed land would not
gain very great amount OF water.
and all snow falling In a melting con.
dition will soak In whether smooth or
rough. Then generally the, snow.
when 1t does begin to melt In the
spring goes quickly. and tho ground
still being frozen the water must
either run on or wait to be evap-
GRATED.
! must admit that my experience
and observation has left me little
faith in snow Us a source Of mois.
ture. Then. again. in our district we
are troubled with early frosts In the
fall. SO that having stubble land har-
rowed down all ready for the seeder
is n most decided advantage in help
ing us to get our wheat early. thus
bettering our chances OF having our
wheat grade No. l hard. Oats and
barley may be sown later and still
escape the frost.
My advice to farmers is therefore 10
harrow well each days plowing.

Alfalfa With Corn Ration

Alfalfa makes an excellent pasture
for hogs. Hogs pastured through the
summer on alfalfa should have a light
feeding OF corn. For winter feeding
alfalfa hay makes rapid gains for
hogs. A ration OF three.fourths corn
and one-fourth alfalfa is best for f1t-
ting hogs for market, but In very
young hogs the proportion should be
reversed.
