Good Roads
GEdI.mNOleS

Poorly drained bottom lands are not
suitable for alfalfa.
Many silos will be filled with frost
bitten corn this year.
Prices of all kinds Of grain are low
er than they have been for some time.
( Practical farmers consider it a
waste OF feed to plow down crop of
clover.
The rule for blowing under clover
for green manure is when the heads
are brown.
After seed corn Is gathered from
the field 1t should be dried as quickly
as possible.
Corn grown for grain and for fodder
should be cut and shocked as soon
as possible.
The 1912 hay crop is estimated at
100000 tons. Last years was fig
ured at 55,00O,000.

It will be found upon Investigation

cats.
1t has been estimated that the birds

However, in spite Of the persistence
of the birds the apple worm In I'LL
nois destroys $2,s75.O00 worth of fruit
each year. The potato bug damages
potatoes in Massachusetts to the
value of $4,000. The chinch bug an.

German experimenters found that

Shine on Black Cloth.
Underwood I Underwood. N. I.


There are several methods used for
removing shine on black cloth. but
the best one is to take a. piece Of
new black crinoline and wet 1t, then
lay over the shiny spot. This should
be covered with dry cloth and then
pressed with a very hot iron. II the
iron is hot enough 1t will make the
crinoline adhere to the serge. You
must pull the former away quickly as
you would plaster. and this will
raise the nap of the serge 10 that 1t
looks dull again. The shine Is created
by the nap being pressed down so fat,
SO 1t will be seen the usual plan Of
rubbing with liquid Is only tempo
rary remedy. 1t removes the gloss
but the nap 10 still flattened.
