WHEN I'M OLD.

Will you love me when I'm old,
When the course of life is run,
When the leaves have turned to gold
And the winter has begun;
If the mists are on the way
And our eyes grow dim and weak,
When we near the parting days,
Will you love me when I'm old?
Will you love me when I'm old,
AS you did so long ago?
When life's story has been told,
Will you love me when I'm old?
Stars do kiss the moon at twilight,
Dew drops smile and kiss the rose
When l see your eyes so bright
And your cheeks like crimson glows,
Like the dandelions of May,
And your hair is still like gold,
j press you to my heart and say,
Will you love me when I'm old?
Love can never lose its hold,
Locks may turn to silver and to gray,
Cheeks may fade, and wrinkle, fold,
Hearts that love with youth will stay.
Clouds and sunshine on our lives
bestow.
Days may come and years may go
Hearts that love can ne'er grow old
Will you love me when I'm old?

Seed Bed for Wheat.

The wheat crop of one year is
scarcely out of the way before the
prospect for the next crop is taken
into consideration. Immediately
after harvest, in the winter wheat
belt, comes the preparation of the
seed bed for the crop. Getting the
ground in shape is really the first
step and one of the most important
steps, likewise. 1t really may be
said to be half the battle.
Along in the winter, when the
ground is dry and the weather is
windy, We are apt to think Of our
wheat and to wish for a heavy fall
of snow. When the snow does
come the newspapers hail it as a
million dollar snow" and those
who are over enthusiastic say a
great wheat crop lis now assured"
1t takes more than one snow to
make a wheat crop, though, just as
it takes more than one robin to
make spring What is just as i'm
portant as plenty of snow during
the winter is the preparation of the
seed bed before winter comes and
even the sesd is Sown. AS we have
said, the seed bed well prepared is
half the battle won right then and
there. 1t must be said to the dis
credit of some wheat growers that
they attempt such an acreage that
they cannot treat any of their
acreage right Such wheat growers
are more largely depending upon
favorable weather to raise a crop of
wheat for them than anyone else
They depend, in fact, upon the
weather doing much that they could
and really should do themselves at
the time of getting the seed bed
ready.
1t may be said that the time for
making half of next years crop of
wheat is right now, If the Job is
done right, wheat will go into win
ter quarters in good shape, but if
it is done almost any old way, just
to get over the acreage in some way
the prospect will show it when cool
weather comes. The root growth
will be too small to withstand any
grief. there will be almost no top
growth at all, and unless favorable
winter weather does come early
/ and stay late, the show for wheat is
one of ten bushels TO the acre, rath-
er than one of twenty or thirty and
possibly some of the latest seeding
will hardly be worth harvesting.
The time for half making the next
crop of wheat is between now and
seeding time. Farmer and Stock
man.
