and cabbage. or these winter rye
was first in season and was the only
variety that furnished early pasture.
Rape provided pasture for a longer
period than any of the other plants,
and, taking 1t all in all, proved the
most valuable plant. But the greatest
amount Of pasture per acre was OBJ
tanned from cabbage.
Rye, as stated above, was first In
season. AS soon as 1t ceased to pro-
vide pasture abundantly, the land was
plowed and sown with corn, sorghum
or rape. and in some instances 1t was
sown again in the early autumn with
the winter rye after one or the other
Of these crops had been grazed down.
AS soon as the rye pasture was gone
the oats and barley we're ready, and
when eaten down this crop was fol-
lowed at once with corn or rape. In
some instances oats and peas were
sown and with satisfactory results.
Sorghum was usually followed by win
ter rye. Corn was sown at any time
occasion offered after the weather had
become sufficiently warm. Rape war
also sown any time from the opening
of spring until the middle Of July. 1t
was the chief reliance for fall pas
ture and cabbage was the last food
grazed down.

In experimental work in growing
pasture for sheep at the Minnesota
Experiment Station about 100 sheep
and lambs were pastured on 10 acres
of land from May l to November l.
Almost two-thirds of the entire num-
Der were sheep and one-third lambs.
In addition to the pasture fraction
over 10 tons OF fodder and over 10
tons of green food were taken from
the same land. Nearly as much food
was taken from the pasture the prev
ious year, says the Agriculturist. On
a single acre six sheep and 10 lambs
were pastured five months. The land
was a sandy loan, not half as good as
the average soil in Minnesota. 1t was
not high in fertility, having been fer
tilted only once with farmyard ma
nure during the six previous years, al
though cropped every year. The Sc
cret Of this wonderful return lay In
keeping the land at work.
Two and one-half acres Of land
were kept in grass. On this the sheep
were grazed when the weather was
wet and when other pasture was not
ready. The pastures were grown 30

with the large affairs of his church,
he has never allowed barrier to arise
between himself and his neighbors.
At his annual reception all classes and
religious denominations are repre-
sented to do him honor. Only recent
ly prominent Hebrew citizen at his
death left large sum of money to the
cardinal ito do with as he wishes"

that not SO very long ago the veneer
able prelate prayed at the side of a
dying Episcopalian-'not as an inter.
loper but as a Christian minister who
recognizes the full import of the
brotherhood of man and the father

DO YOU RECALL TRAPPERS?

We clip this from the Lake County
Star:
The trappers were allowed to get
after the fur bearing animals last
Wednesday, but fur in Lake county
is scarce, while up to twenty years
ago it was a gold mine. The Kanka-
kee and Calumet regions were the
homes of rats, mink and other ami
mails, and besides every pond, creek
and water hole furnished some A
trapper with a good claim" those
days was nearly sure of reaping a re-
ward of from two 10 eight hundred
dollars for his fall and spring work. !"
Every week Editor Wheeler of The
Star has some philosophic reflections
in his paper regarding the changes
that are coming over the county. Down
the state they refer to their pioneer
trappings days and place the year
1880 after them. But here in Lake
county the high school lad still re-
tains a memory Of trapping days. A
decade ago, before Gary was born, and
Indiana Harbor was just springing into
existence, the north part of the county
was the trapper's paradise.
So rapid Is our advance that we do
not have TO lcok back far to recall the
muskrat and the water hole and yet
the work accomplished seem to place
the trapping days back to half a cen
utry ago rather than to the near days
of decade or two.
