TOO MUCH WEEDS.

Pembina Pioneer Express: Fields
are growing up 10 weeds.
Nature is trying to raise crops on
the same acres that the farmer is try
ing to raise another sort.
That the soil is not exhausted is
proven by the success Of both the
farmer and nature. Each raises a half
crop.
The only method we have learned in
5000 years of farming to get ahead

That is, after time II IL necessary

grass. "All flesh is grass" To utilize
the grass we must make it into flesh.
Or, to fight weeds successfully we
must grow forage crops and to make
forage crops pay we must feed cattle.

TO grow grass and feed cattle, milk
cows and care for pigs necessarily

creased work
1t means smaller farms, more farm-
ers, more hired help. 1t means more
oreameries. 1t means diversified crops.
It means timothy. clover, potatoes and
corn. 1T means just about as much
wheat raised but on less acres, and the
additional acres SO much more profit.

Everybody said they'd bet

Fire Chief Frisby heered the bell
And he ran to town like mad.
With his nice red uniform
To perteck him from the storm.
He got to the hose house quick,
And 1t almost made him sick
When he realized that he
Had forgot to bring the key.
Seemed like some decree OF fate.
Fireboys had to stand and wait
While he ran back home. two miles
In true Dorando style.
Frisby got back home, but he
Couldn't find no gol dunn key.
Then he got mad at his wife
Just becuz to save her life
she could not thunk on what shelf
He had put the thing himself
Might be I'm the syrup Jug
Or beneath the parlor rug.
Then his wife recalled by chance
That the key was In the pants
She gave to the runlrnage sale.
Man that bought 'em was in JAIL

But the hencoop had burned down.
Fireboys, they are In disgrace.
Fsrisby has given up his place.
And the councils bought d peck

Some Valuable Hints On Gamma

Always screw the lids on the glass
fruit Jars on so tightly that 1T will be
necessary to break the cans open with
hammer next winter. This Is one of
the first principles Of canning and 1t
should never be violated.
Can everything you can find except
ing your husband. You may need him
from time to time
1t Is better to remove the pits from
peaches before canning them, for tha
pits are rather hard to digest and form
very heavy diet when eaten In the
winter. Canned peaches are more to
be pitted than censured.

before he was awarded $4,000 az VIC
tor in the Circuit of Europe race
Atwood Is making the longest flight
ever attempted in the u. S.--from ST..
Louis to New York-for $4,000.
1t is now a very insignificant air
contest indeed whose reward is less
than $1,000; and from that sum the
prizes range upward in amount to what
may be very properly termed princely
fortunes.
1t is this, Of course, that causes the
aviators to tempt the great dangers i'm
volved The races, however. are COM
ing to have something more than the
mere spectacular as their object. For
instance, the recent English race was
essentially an endurance contest The
conditions imposed made IL necessary
for the contestants to finish the 1000
mile course with their machines prac-
tically uninpaired. Such a contest
win, of course, tend to develop strength
and stability Of craft and safety in
fight-the aeroplane's present greatest
lack.
Air races, therefore, are coming to
mean more than enriched performers
and cheering spectators.
