BAD PRACTICE OF FARMERS
One Cannot Afford 10 Burn Corn
stalks ano Pr. Nothing Back In
rorm Of Humus.
(By B. E. SARAl


1t always makes me feel sad to see
smoke arising from the burning corn
stalks in the held, because the farmer
is burning up his land and doesn't
know 1t. How can we expect to burn
up stock which the soil produces and
put nothing back in the way Of humus,
and then hope to keep our soil in good
condition?
Maybe I'm wrong when I say that
farmers do not know what they're do
ing, for doubtless some of them do
know that 1t is a bad practice, but
burning stalks is easier than disking
or cuttir :; them up. and they are a
nuisance to plox them under. Some
farmers say there is no benefit in
blowing under stalks, but l cannot
figure it out that way, because l do
not see how we can go robbing our
soil and keep up the fertility. 1t costs
very little to keep a sheep and a
flock of so sheep is worth money.

Instantly by doors and windows the
crowd, seized with inexpltcable panic,
emptied itself into the courthouse
yard. Fentress was caught up In the
rush and borne from the room and
from the building. When he reached
the graveled space below the steps he
turned. The Judge was in the door

Mr.. Bowen. the minister, MI Saul
and Mr. Wesley were vainly seeking
to pinion his arm.
'Draw-damn you" he roared at
Fentress. as he wrencired himself

and left as Fentress was seen to
reach for his pistol.

PUMPKINS STORED IN FIELDS
Piled In Row and Covered With Hay
Protection Is Afforded and Bal
anced Ration Formed.
(By NJ. CoVERDELL.)

You needn't expect to reap much
profit from gorging your hogs and
cattle on pumpkins for a few days
during the harvest season: then cut
hIg off their supply of this valuable
feed for another whole year. Store
your pumpkins in the field
Pile the pumpkins in a row. as high
and as wide as you wish. cover with
hay and set up fodder on each side
to thickness of three or four feet.
This not only affords ample protection
from the cold, but also enables you
to form most profitable balanced ra-
ton by adding the fruit of the vine
as you feed out the corn and fodder.

this result; that when the Judge took
occasion TO call at the tavern, and the
hostile nature OF his visit was EN-

his approach. he was greatly shocked
TO discover that his Intended victim
had sold his business overnight tor
small lump sum to Mr. Saul's brother
lnlaw, who had appeared most OPP
portunely with an offer.
Pesloe's flight created something OF
sensation. but It was dwaried by
the sensation that developed day or
so later when It became known that
Tom Ware and Colonel Fentress had
likewise fled the country. Still later.
