Young Business Men Have Faith in
Tacoma; Open Exclus i've Hat Store

just hats.
That is the secret of the ex-
tensive operations of cabinet maxi
ers for the last month putting in
curved glass front and fitting up
OLA Pacific avenue.
For Tacoma is to join the list
of metropolitan cities where the
modern idea is embraced in
store that specializes on hats,
that sells nothing but hats, that
has everything in hats, and never
keeps the fact under a hat.
Tacoma's new evidence of prog
ress is the IN. & NJ" hat store,
which is to open Saturday as the
result of the confidence in this
city of two of the most popular
young men in town, r. w. Nun
ger and A. e. Mckinley, proprie-
tors. Both are old hatters. Mr..
Munger has been prominent in
local hat and gents furnishing
stores for years, and before that
was in the same business in Los
Angeles and Chicago. Mr.. Nc
Ginley recently came here from
Denver and has been in the hat
business for 10 years.
81 have had this hat store un-
der my hat for three years." said
Mr.. Munger today, land have just
been waiting for the proper loca-
ton and an suspicious time for
opening"
There is an attractiveness about
the new store that impresses you
from the time you get a first
glimpse until you don the piece
of headwear most suitable to your
individual requirements.
The value of the new store is
apparent through the fact that
its heads are studying "just"
hats.
This is day of specialization,

PROPER CARE FOR PASTURES
Mistake to Think That Close Cropped
Blades VIII Produce the Most
Feed During Summer.

A man needs and wants all the in-
come he can get safely from land. It
must be that some OF us really be-
lleve that more can be gotten from a
field by close pasturing than by let
ting the grass have chance TO get
and keep ahead of the stock. II It
we're not believed certainly there
would not be so much close pastur-
ing. The man who is hardest up and
needs the most income. too often is
the one that overstocks his grass. It
is a big mistake to think that an acre
OF grass plants will produce the most
feed during the summer by keeping
the blades cropped close to the
ground II simply cannot. but will
produce less than it should and would
II there we're good leaf surface to en-
able the plants to do their work Of
growing. Plenty Of leaf surface is
necessary to rapid growth. The way
to get the most possible pasturage
from a field during the season is to
let the grass get a fair start in the
spring and then let It keep ahead OF
the stock. And then there is another
year coming. as We believe, and the
field too closely pastured this year
cannot produce a full crop Of grass
next year. These things being true'
they should be believed.

PAYS TO FERTlLIzE MEADOW
Increase In the Yield Of Hay Estlmat-
ed From Three-ouarters to One
Ton Per Acre.

Several years ago when cutting hay
next TO a patch Of wheat In the same
field. 1. e.. there was no fence between,
] noticed that the hay adjoining the
wheat was much heavier in widths OF
drill than elsewhere. writes f. P.
Gerlach in the Michigan Farmer; In
fact there was so much difference
that I began to study out the reason,
which explained itself simply enough.
In drilling the wheat the fall be-
fore with $50 pounds Of 2:S:2 feru-
lizer per acre. and running the drill
out on the meadow. there would be
from two TO four feet Of meadow fer
tilized while in going back the drill
would not be set IN gear until at the
edge Of the wheat field, consequently
every other width OF the drill would
show a marvellous difference in the
grass.
This set me TO thinking that II

fertilized Eve acres with the same
result. raising the disks and drilling
the fertilizer over the top. and since

A farm is a combination of enter
prises. and a study of each enterprise
in It's relation to the others is Of the
utmost Importance Wheat may be
a profitable crop to grow. oats an un-
profitable crop. Records of the sep
arate farm enterprises will show the
facts in each case.
Labor distribution records are sell
dom kept by farmers. yet such rec
ords are In many respects equally as
important as the cash account. A
good bank balance Is often the result
OF the efficient use OF farm labor.
Crops which are grown at a profit
may, by being fed to a poor class Of
live stock, have this profit turned
into a loss. Live stock records. al
though not so easy to keep as those
on crops, are often more useful 10 the
farmer. II is poor policy to lose by
injudicious feeding the profits on the
crops grown.
Live stock production records are
a guide to the qualities OF animals
kept: such records are OF the utmost
Importance to the dairyman.
Good accounts are within the reach
OF every farmer. The few minutes
regularly spent on them will yield
larger returns than an equal amount
OF time devoted to farm work, pro
