the clover cannot be seeded in the fall

When a field has produced corn for
two season it might we'll be seeded to
oats and when this crop is taken off
1t could profitably be followed with
fodder corn the same season. Three
years would give land pretty severe
trial, but it would be thoroughly re-
stored by devoting 1t to clover for two
years. Liberal applications of manure
are of vital importance.
In carrying out this double crop
principle 1t is well to follow early
potatoes with peas, or follow any or
binary potato crop with fodder corn
After repeating this for a couple Of
seasons seed with clover. Oats and
peas together make a good forage for
COWS and hogs, the animals to be

patch of artichokes or rape will help
the growth and quality of hogs.
BY keeping up such variety as this
farmer on 40 acres can successfully
handle dairy of ten cows and raise
25 to so hogs every year. He ought
also to have three or four mares and a
couple of hundred chickens, besides a
garden and some fruit Methods can
be varied to suit location, market ad-
vantages, soil characteristics and la

propositions one aim must be to dis
tribute the work evenly over the sea-
son. From the time of asparagus and
rhubarb in the spring until the last
winter apple is picked there ought to
be something fresh for market every

WHY HE GOT NO ANSWER.
Traveller Learns That Policeman Was
stlckIer for Etiquette.
Take advantage of our Mail
and Parcel Post service.


The policemen of Montevideo are
mostly of Indian origin. They are
always courteous and polite, but they
are great sticklers for etiquette.
Through ignorance of their customs
a foreigner sometimes finds himself
In an embarrassing situation.
One day last summer well dressed
American gentleman stepped up to a
policeman in the Plaza Independence
and said, in good Spanish:
"Will you please tell me where the
Gale Rincon ISL"
The policeman looked haughtily at
the stranger, and turned away.
The American tried again, with still
more courtesy.
Would you be so extremely kind
as to accommodatingly tell me where
the Gale Rincon ist'
To his establishment the policeman
retorted:
"You have no manners, sir"
Needless to say, the American was
quite ahashed; but he had to find
the Gale Rincon, so he put the ques-
ton to Spanish youth who was
standing near. The youth answered
cordially, and went some little dis.
lance to direct the stranger properly
After the American had thanked him
he asked:
why did the policeman refuse to
answer me?"
Because" replied the youth, when
you addressed him, you neglected te
tahe off your hat!"-Youth's Com
panion.

Methods Of FeedIna Bowls.

Fowls should have empty crops in
the morning, and the crops should
never be quite full until it is time to
go to roost at night. For the first
feed. grain scattered in the litter early
in the morning is preferred. the soon
er the better after the birds leave the
roosts.
This induces them to exercise, which
is especially important on cold winter
mornings. In the middle of the day a
warm, moistened mash should be
given, about what they win eat within
Is or 20 minutes, and at night, about
an hour before they go to roost, lib
eral feed of grain should be scattered
in the litter.

If we start a calf out right in the
first year of its life it will ever be q
profitable ANIMAL but II we do not
give him a fair, good start he will, at
best, be worthless scrub, consuming
much more feed than he will ever

1t is much more profitable for the
farmer to put flesh on a young calf
than 1t is to half feed him when he 10

all the gain when he Is fitted for the
market.
Nature never intended the calf to
be raised by hand, and, we must I'M
derstand the calf's physical makeup

hand feeding.
Where the calf is hand fed 1t Is only
natural to suppose that it receives
smimmed milk, because the cream is
the one object for which the cow is
MIXED.
Where any number of calves are to
be raised by hand 1t is best to pre-
pare a set of movable stanchions.
These are quickly made from one by
four inch lumber. and where they are
movable they can be changed from
place to place to suit the convenience
of the feeder.
After the calves are in the stanch-
ions it is an easy manner to dish out
d quantity of milk to each individual
without being continually pestered by
the others.
After they all have their milk they
should be provided with finely ground
corn meal in troughs or boxes. they

Next upon all tours he went.

Still he harbored discomfort.
