Gumption on tho Farm.

Don't ''dare up" like badly trimmed

has the better Of tho argument.
Many men when in deep trouble fail

advice 10 always worth cons.dering.
Whom stormy day comes, spend Z
few hours looking over the garden seeds
for the coming season. Sec that they
are not being affected by dampness nos
by excessive heat. The mice may be
helping themselves.
One Of the biggest mistakes farmers
make is in scrimping themselves on the
amount OF grass .seed sown to the acre.
OF late years seed has been to COW LEES
than was needed to bring . good crop.
Better save somewhere else.
The farmer has one thing IN his
favor - what he knows he knows.
There 10 no chance for . bluff in tilling
the soil. Everything shows right up
for just what it 10 worth. If he is .
success he can not hide the fact, and il
he is failure the neighbors are quick
to know the particulars.
Before planting any large quantity of
small grain, grass or clover seed, send
sample to your state experiment station
for examination. The seeds Of many
noxious plants are to be found in impure
and unreliable seeds. It is far easier to
do this than to eradicate some pesti-
ferrous weed that obtains firm foothold
on your farm.
Early rhubarb can be grown in any
ordinary cellar thus: When thaw
comes dig up one or more rhubarb
clumps from the garden, with considera.
bic soil clinging to the roots, aud put
the on the cellar floor; the warmer the
cellar. the sooner growth will begin.
Give them little water occasionally,
and await results. Light does not
seem to be necessary, for the stalks
grow all right in even dark place.
The party who appeals to the courts
Tor redress is not always in the right. |

besides, bis temper will not allow him

# the court for the defendant, with
costs, does not in the least alter his

eels that he has been wronged. Going
o law for fancisd wrongs, and expec-
ing there to find redress, is an expen-
i've luxury. Sue mouse and catch

Thousands of dollars are wasted in
fertilizer every year, not
BECAUSE the fertilizer is not all right,
'ut because We do not know whether
he kind We use is the kind our land
reeds. 1t is great study and one that
1e must make for ourselves. Make
ONE simple experiments this year. Put
