Again he lowered out of his chair

gripped in his big one as she arose to
meet him, and after a fair. straight
look into the eyes between them both
glanced unconsciousIy at the clasped
hands.
She felt that she had never been
more aware that she was a woman.

the heavy, muscular masculine-was
startling. Glendon was the first to

finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum

II observe :. curious fact about
Postum whom used by mothers. It

VOTING MACHINES BARRED
Supreme Court Rules in Case Brought
by Chairman Of the Republican
State Central Committee.

Madison.-Voting machines may not
be used in the cities of Milwaukee,
Madison and others throughout the
state at the election to be held in this
state on Nov. 3. This was determined
by the supreme court when it issued
an order directing the county clerk of
Milwaukee county to prepare ballots
for the election in accordance with the
law for governing the use of the Aus
tralian ballot, better known as the
blanket ballot.
Objection was made to the use of
the machines in that second choice
votes could not properly be recorded.
Alvin P. Kletzsch, chairman of the
Republican state central committee,
brought the case to the court just be-
fore it's adjournment.

The ones that grow will not inter
fere with the other varieties, and the
yield will be increased.
1t has been found that land will not
produce it's maximum yield of grass
unless it is occupied by a number Of
kinds of grasses.
Practical experience has shown that
any soil will be more certain to yield
larger and better crops of forage and
hay when it is seeded with mixed
grasses than when sown to clover and
timothy alone.
Our flocks and herds will thrive bet
ter when fed on mixed grasses tno
matter whether in a green condition
or cured for hay) than they will when
fed on any one or two varieties sown
alone, no matter how nutritious these
grasses may be.
We shall find it in every way as i'm
portant to balance our forage rations
as it is the grain rations, If we would
obtain the best results from a mini
mum amount of feed
All animals that depend upon grass
will thrive better when fed on mix
ture, for the elements are furnished
in a greater abundance and in a man
ner better adapted to their needs.
II you have ever noticed horse or
COW at liberty you will have observed
the fact that they are constantly going
from one kind of grass to another
while they are eating.
Animals will often walk from one
end Of large pasture to another to
get nibble of some variety of grass
that is different from that In the other
end Of the pasture.
Pastures that contain the greatest
number Of varieties of grass are in
variably the ones that will support
the most stock.
1t Is one of the evils Of our system
OF farming to plow up good pasture,
for it requires number Of years to
get a good turf established.
In selecting grass seed for perma-
nent pasture select kinds that will
bloom in succession from early sum
mer mtil late in the fall so that when
one kind is not growing there will be
another to occupy the soil and prevent
weeds from growing in where the soil
is not occupied.
