Spinach is one of the best things to
grow.
Fifteen to 20 ears Of corn will plant
an acre.
Don't use barb wire if you can
avoid it.
Productive soil must contain a large
amount of vegetable matter.
There is no better fertilizer for
grass than farmyard manure.
Potatoes make fairly good crop
with which to follow millet.
There is no more convenient place
TO haul the manure than to the grass

Small patches of quack grass should

Putting a small gasoline engine on

wrinkle to save horse flesh.
Those who have not already saved
their seed corn, however. must do SO

Seed corn must be selected early
enough so that it may have plenty of
time to dry before cold weather.
Cover crops are divided into two
classes. based upon whether or not
they add any considerable amount OF
food.
Cover crops, when plowed under, i'm

soil making it porous and of better
filth.
Farmers operating on large scale
often keep in telegraphic or telephon
r. connection with the market to
which their products are consigned.
Millet is rather hard on the fer

rich Germ belt soil should yield two
good crops of millet in succession.

DUTIES OF WEALTH.

Riches afford no excuse for
lazy leisure. Wealth is expect
ed to furnish just enough leisure
to fit one by such mental train
ing as will make him a leader in
some noble effort. There is no
place in a democracy for a so
called leisure class. There is too
much work to be done. They
who need not toll for their daily
bread should give themselves to
the larger and deeper needs of
the community. In a thousand
ways the man of wealth may be
q benefactor to mankind. When
he refuses to be and prefers to
spend his time in mere pleasure
seeking he is forced to take a
place which in the eyes of the
world is contemplate. Not
what a man has. but what he is.
