More Feed.

+ The question before our farmers
now is, "How may produce enough
feed to carry my stock through the
winter" To answer that question
the following suggestions are made:
CoWpeaS soWn now and even as
late as the last week in July will make
considerable growth before the aver
age date of killing frosts. When a
shower comes sufficient to loosen up
the soil so it may be worked, land
where the corn was late and is of no
account, the wheat and oat stubble,
may all be disked thoroughly and
seeded to cowpeas. The New Era
peas are best to use for this late seed
ing and should be drilled in at the
rate of one bushel per acre. For a
pea of this size, the drill set to SOW
four pecks of oats per acre will put
on about the right amount of seed.
Cowpeas terminate very READILY and
have tap root which strikes at once
into the subsoil soon becoming firm
ly rooted When once started they
withstand considerable dry weather
and still grow nicely. The seed also
terminate in a short time and if there
is enough moisture for termination
in the ground the young plants will
be up in three days time.
Sorghum may be used to advantage
as late forage crop. Land as de-
scribed above may be also used for
sorghum. However, the land should
be in little better shape for this crop
to make best returns. The seed may
be broadcasted or drilled in. Since
the ground is dry, it is preferable to
drill it in, in order that it may be
covered. Sorghum seeded at the
rate of one bushel per acre drilled,
or one and and a half bushels when
broadcasted will give a good stand.
Sorghum is rather fine when it starts
but as soon as it has taken hold of the
soil, grows rapidly and is very
drought resistant. Care should be
taken to harvest sorghum before
there is any danger of frost as frosted
sorghum is injurious to live stock.
Millet may be used as late forage
crop and where a stand is secured
makes a large amount of hay. The
land which will successfully grow
millet should be we'll prepared and
the seed bed very fine. The seed is
with an ordinary grass
seeder at the rate of so pounds per
acre. It should then be narrowed in.
But for hay at heading time before
seed has formed, as millet seed is

very injurious to animals.

Various mixtures of these crops
may be made to advantage. For in
stance, instead of sowing cowpeas
alone, a mixture of cowpeas and mil
let may be used, sowing the millet
down at the rate of 20 pounds per
acre then drill in the cowpeas at
Slightly less than one bushel per acre.
Where the crops both take off proper
ly, this mixture makes a larger
amount of forage than will either one
sown alone. Cowpeas and sorghum
may be grown in a mixture using 80
pounds sorghum and one bushel of
cowpeas per acre. The best way to
seed the mixture is to seed the mix
ture is to put both in the drill at the
same time and set it to SOW four per
acre. The best way to seed the mix
ture is to put both in the drill at the
same time and set to SOW four pecks
of oats per acre.
Dat straw is good feed and although
the crop of oats is very light this
year all the straw should be put in
the dry at once. The wheat crop
was heavy in most sections of the
state and it may be used for a rough
feed in a pinch. Care should be
taken to stack and top wheat straw
so that it will not damage. Better
still, it may be baled and put in the
barn where it is out of danger.

Kill More Than Wild Beats.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the
vast number killed by disease germs.
No life is safe from their attacks.
They're in air, water, dust, even
food. But grand protection is afford
ed by Electric Bitters, which destroy
and expel these deadly disease germs
from the system. That's why chills,
fever and ague, all malarial and many
blood diseases yield promptly to this
wonderful blood purifier. Try them,
and enjoy the glorious health and
new strength they'll give you. Money

The Vintage of 1911

The hot summer will bring US one
blessing, the best vintage recorded in
years. The heat has not only helped
to mature the grapes thoroughly in all
the wine districts, but it has destroyed
most of the obnoxious insects. The
quantity will be that of an ordinary
good year. The champagne people
look forward to a vintage that will sur
pass in excellence that Of 1898, and
the Burgundy wines will be remarkable
The Bordeaux viticulturise also antici-
pate a rich quality for this year, with q
bouquet that will compare favorably
with the best, The south is quite en-
thusiastic, and announces that its or
dinary will be fit to be drunk by mil

RECORD ORDER FOR APPLES
Seattle Firm VIII Export Fifty-Eight Car
loads to the AntipOdeS

An order for So carloads Of Washing
ton apples, the largest Of its kind ever
placed with a Seattle firm, has just
been obtained by J. B. Powles & Co.,
from an Australian and New Zealand
firm. The initial shipment, consisting
of eight carloads OF Yakima Jonathans,
were shipped from Vancouver, B. C.,
the other day.
The balance OF the order will be
filed during the next two or three
months, shipments to be made on
seven different steamers sailing either
from San Francisco or Vancouver.
The order, which aggregated 28,200
boxes, is not only the largest ever
placed with a Seattle commission
house, but is also significant in that
the Washington fruit will be reshipped
all over the South Seas, some of the
apples even going to Africa. The first
two shipments will be composed OF
Jonathans. The other shipments will
be made up Of small, hard, red vari-
cites, including Winesaps and Missouri
Pippins, in four and half and fve-tier
packs. The fruit will be unloaded at
Sydney and Auckland.
Last year ]. B. Powles & Co. ship
ped approximately 20 carloads of ap-
pies to Australia and New Zealand.
The fruit carried so well and sold SO
readily that the firm handling the stock
this year concluded to greatly increase
the size OF their order.
The apple will reach the Antipodes
Just at the end Of the Australian season.

food Prices May Be Higher This Winter

While thousands are starving in
China, and France is being torn with
riots in a protest against the high cost
OF food, there is renewed attention in
this country to the food question. Sug
ar is at its highest point in twelve years;
coffee is soaring and potatoes are sell
ing at $1.10 bushel in the field. In
view of this, householders are asking il
there will be this winter a recurrence
Of conditions in 1o0o-1o10, when the
cost of living reached its apex, and de-
clined slowly only after many so-called
boycotts against meat and other high
priced commodities had been dec Jared
throughout the country. Economic
experts answer mo-" Prices will be
higher they say, in some instances
above those OF last winter, but they
add man who is willing to get along
without near luxuries, may await the
approach of cold weather without un-
due anxiety.
1t is pointed out that generally speak
ing, with the exception Of coffee, sugar
potatoes, and few canned vegetables,
the present month, September, wa:
ushered in with conditions more favor
able to the consumer than was the case
wear ago.

sion.
If such an estimate were, as it should
be, in the hands Of the city clerk, you
could inform yourself easily by compar-
ing same with cost OF material and
labor, which you can obtain from ex-
per.s in those lines as to whether a
complete water system could be built
for $50, 100000 or not.
/ would suggest to the council to
delay the passage OF the water ordinance
for further investigation and in the
meantime call a mass meeting Of the
voters, both men and women, at which
meeting all may express their views on
the question at issue.
So far l have no criticisms TO answer.
therefore I will continue this series
