Sunday-for the last i25 years,

The pasture under fence is
this year grazing 200 head of
cattle and a large number of
horses. The land doesn't lie in
a compact body, and other vacant
decided land is enclosed in the
pasture. The land lies beautifully
in q beautiful sloping country
and off its nutricious buffalo
and gramma grasses have been

liJhed twenty five years ago.

GARDENS AND ORCHARDS

Mr.. A. L. Walker near, Ston-
ington has given much attention
to the growing of trees, vines
and shrubs and has a very nice
orchard and surroundings that
enhance the value of the real
home a thousand fold.
One of the pretty places in
Springfield is the home of Mrs.
Cant. There are number of
nice fruit and ornamental trees,
roses, climbing vincs and the
garden. Just a windmill and
work, with care and beautiful
home is soon created.

My Dear Sir:

While | have been raising
more or less seed for the past

also more than 1 bought, until
this last fall my yield was so
great that | sold the Barteldes
Seed Company, who have a

which is supposed to be the only
Car load of sweet clover seed

pecially of one mans own raising

many orders to II different
states besides all over Kansas.
and have put tout a very large
acreage myself, which completes
my disposition of last falls crop
of nearly 1000 bushels of seed.
Bulletin No. 4S5 on sweet
clover gotten out by the govern
ment is well worth sending for,
and anybody can get copy by
sending to the Agricultural De
partment at Washington, ID. C..

| Agricultural College at Manhat-
tan, KanS., and tested 97.2 true

white blossoming sweet clover,
and in ten days test 81 per cent
of my seed germinated.
If | were sowing this clover on
upland, Especially where the
rainfall is not very great, | be-
lieve | would SOW it in rows of a
bout 3 feet apart and cultivate it;
while where | raise my clover |

of this clover, could see some of

At any time | can serve you

to this valuable product, and you
see fit to ask me the questions,

to see this clover widely grown

George Carter
Comes to Aid Of
Moneyless City

Former Governor George r. Carter
has come to the aid OF the merchants
Of the city and city employees who
hold warrants for money owed them
by the municipality, and which have
not been cashed because Of the de-
pleted condition Of the general fund
of the city and county
Mr.. Carter this morning made Q
special arrangement with the Bank Of
Hawaii to cash all properly registered
pay warrants up to $4,000 at their
full value and without charging . fee
for doing so.
.T learned this morning, In follow
ing up the statement made In my
open letter the first Of the Week.
which appeared in the Star Bulletin
this week, that merchants in the city
held uncashed warrants against the
city and county to the amount Of
about $4,000 and that employees also
held such warrants to the amount Of
$50, 900. l got busy and made arrange
ments with the bank to cash them.
my investigation this morning
showed that conditions were az be-
lieved they were when wrote my
letter. 1t shows that the business Of
the city and county, in this respect at
least, has not been conduced along
good business lines. - -
When l saw Mccarthy this morn.
ing he refused to agree TO pay any IN.
terest on the money thus advanced BY
the bank. But for my part feel that
it is better that the county should
pay this interest than the holders Of
the warrants. they are entitled 20
their money in full, and 1t is the duty
of the government to see that they
got Il ~ - - Z - Z
