GRASS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Great Problem of Maintaining Fertile
ty of Soil for Future Crops
Solved in One Way.
CBy W. Il. GARDNER)

(By W. f. GARDNER)
in attempting to farm without
grasses the farmer is lifting without
lever; he is pulling load with the
weight on the hind wheels; he is cut
ting with a dull Ak.
With grass as basis grains, fruits,
vegetables and meat, all the triumphs
OF farming are possible. The first
thing that | would advise all those
who contemplate buying farm to
look into, would be it's capacity to
grow clover and other nutritious
grasses and learn what means would
be available for fertilizing such mead
ows
The grass can be converted into
milk and products into beef, pork or
mutton and returned to the land In
the form of manure for the grain crops
or you may sell the hay by the ton
according to the facts of your particu-
lar locality.
l would not advise any one to think
OF buying farm that did not have
at least 20 acres of grass land that
would produce at least two tons Of
hay per acre under favorable condi-
tons
The greatest thrift and profit made
by farmers off their farms In ten of
the leading agricultural states that
have visited during the past two
years have been made by those who
make dairying and the grow ing of live
stock their chief reliance
The great question Of keeping up
the fertility of the soil for future
crops can be solved in only one way
and that is by the growing of more
clovers and grasses and feeding more
live stock and returning all of the
manure thus made tc the fields

to 'em, 'Here Column ad., six

Infallible? Why, say! For forty
years, whenever l kill my pigs in the
fall, l have read the sign of the miIt
the very first thing, and then | know
a thing or two. That's what I've done
this fall. When l killed my pigs the
other day l directed my attention as
usual to a spot under the diaphragm
of the most prognostic-loohing pig I
had, and removed the viscus from the
left hypocondrium. Now, in going
for the pigs milt in it's unfailing ca.

you in passing, just notice if the big

exaggerated, you needn't count on

That's the way the pigs milt casts
the meteorological horoscope. l have
looked it over for this year, and l
want to tell you that the small end
of the milt has q nub on It bigger
than a prize rutabaga. So you can
keep right on wearing your last sum-

johnny jump-ups to push their noses

weather that may drop down for a
spell about then by taking the old
ulster from the peg, for it'll be too
late to buy any new winter clothes.
Too late. No use at all.

STORE POTATOES IN WINTER
Kansas Man Gives His Method of Pre-,
pairing and Keeping Tubers
During Cold Weather.
(By B. f. MILLER, Kansas.)

(By B. F. MILLER. Kansas)
My way of keeping potatoes durin 6
the winter is TO select high piece Of
ground that will drain itself well, then
| put lot of hay on the ground and
put the potatoes on the hay, piling
them up nicely. I then cover with hay
or straw as thick as l think best, then
put light layer Of dirt on the hay,
and as the season gets colder, put on
more dirt. To keep potatoes in the
spring for summer use, put them in a
dark room and give them plenty of
air, sprinkling scme air-slacked lime
over them. Also keep all sprouts off
of them, and you will have potatoes
until you can raise new ones.

The Time to Cut Alfalfa.

The time to cut alfalfa hay is gov
erned entirely by the appearance of
the little sprouts at the base of the
plant, and not at all by the flowers
Whenever these sprouts appear, it is
time to cut the hay
This should be done for the sake of
the plants, even though it is not pos
sible to save the cutting in good
shape The subsequent crops will be
better for it.
