The Most Beautiful Thing.

A newspaper recently invited Ito
readers to state in few words what
they considered the most beautiful
thing in the world. The first prize
was awarded to the sender of the an
swer: "The eyes of my mother" "The
dream of that which we know to be
impossible" suggested an imaginative
person, and this brought him second
prize. But the most amusing thing
was that which read, 1.-THE most beau

Produce Good Stock.

Az to whether to produce pure-bred
cows or grade cows you must decide
for yourself. There is more profit in
pure-bred cows, but you can begin the
production Of grades with less capital
and for the inexperienced there is per.
haps less opportunity for loss. But q
pure-bred bull and a good one you
must have. The only way to econo-
mize In buying bull is to get the very
hest one you can possibly afford. From
the breeders viewpoint the bull Is
half the herd; $3.50 is little enough to
pay for bull calf and $500 invested IN
a bull will bring you greater returns
II you have only ten cows than VIII the
same amount invested In team OF
horses to work on your farm or to
drive to your milk wagon.

PRACTICE soILINo FOR cows
Tried at New Jersey Experiment Sta
tlon, Where Three Animals Kept
on Feed From One Acre.

The Jersey experiment station prac-
tices soiling altogether for their cows.
They SOW rye, which comes on first In
the spring. With the rye hairy vetch
IL seeded and the two make q splendid
feed, besides the vetch enriches the
land. The next crop Is wheat, which
also has vetch seeded with It. Fol-
lowing the wheat are oats and Canada
field peas, and again the peas not only
help to balance up the oats, but at the
same time improve the land, being .
legume. Following the cutting Of the
rye, cowpeas and soy beans. fodder
corn. ETC.. are planted. These can be
harvested ID dime TO Bow the ground
down to the same crops for next year,
and later on the silo is opened. Pro.
lessor Minkler stated that he had been
able to keep three COWS during tho
summer on the feed grown ON one acre
Of ground. Could this method not be
practicable on many farms? Suppose
an acre or two is fenced on In the
COW pasture and seeded to oats and
Canada field peas in March. this crop
cut on and fed in June, tho first Of
July the ground sown to cowpeas and
these harvested in September. and the
ground seeded to rye and hairy
vetch. In this way the land would not
become exhausted very rapidly. The
roots and stubble would almost or
quite furnish the humus content, the
legumes the nitrogen, and by adding
little potash and phosphorus one
should grow crops for years on the
same ground.
