for several years, and this year / am
glad to say the results have been
fine. therefore 1 do not think II amiss
to give some directions gained from
observation and experience.
The better you prepare a seed bed
for any crop the better the crop,
therefore If your land Is not plenti-
fully supplied with humus. such as
grass, weeds. pea vines or stubble,
supply 1t with all you can get in the
way OF stable manure, wood rakings
etc. Do not use commercial fertilizers,
you do not need the ammonia and
the phosphoric acid Is rock dissolved
with sulphuric acid. which Is surely
injurious to and will destroy the bac-
terra on the vetch roots. Muriate of
potash can be used and will be bene-
fetal. After this plow all in. If the
land is very stiff it will be better to
follow the turn plow with bull
tongue plow, to obtain moisture later
on. After this has been done, not
before, broadcast lime, shell lime
preferred, IL the land Is sour 1000
pounds per acre especially if the
land abounds in humus. BY putting
the lime after the plowing and har-
rowing 1T In you run no risk, as the

nothing can escape. Let this remain
about fifteen or twenty or even thirty
days. then harrow again, until YOU get
a nice. clean seed bed. Use two
bushels of oats per acre (not more)
and twenty pounds OF winter hairy
vetch. Inoculate your vetch seed ac-
cvording to directions on packages,
use clean water, clean vessels and
Injurious germs; use care in covering
as fast as possible so as to avoid the
suns rays from hurting the germs.

evening or n cloudy day is best but
In the fall of the year or winter there
is not much danger. especially in a
freshly narrowed seed bed and COW

Shades mountain and revealed the Sig

preparations to attend the celebration of
their prosperity in the third full moon.

of the Creek nation, Scabby Bull, sent

ASKS well remembered he who returned

and her winner, who will be straightway
made a big chief, will be two of the I'M
