There Is ample evidence that 1t generally pays to feed cottonseed cake on pasture and market the cattle by August or July 15. The prices are better. the cattle make better gains. and then, overstocking during the dry fall season of short pssturage IS avoided.

WEEKLY LETTER OF JOHN H. PAGE, COMMISSIONER MINES,
 MANUFACTURERS, AGRICULTURE

Il dreds of them are following that Il plan, while thousands of them
 are not. Let those who do not
 watch the success of those who ! do. Shallow cultivation is easier on man and beast. and the best. ] Shallow cultivation is only a ! means to an end. It has two purposes. The first is to keep 1 the blow tools out from among the small growing roots after they get to growing. The roots feed the plants. and they cant do 1t well if they are torn to pieces and have to re-adjust themselves after every blowing. The second is to keep the moisture in the ground to make the crop grow. Of course when there is plenty of rain all during the season it does not make much difference.
 By cultivating shallow with side harrows and light tools we keep the dirt for an inch or more on top we'll pulverized, and if it is a dry season 1t will make a dust or what is called a dust mulch. Where there is covering of dust the moisture from below will not evaporate through it. Where the soil is deep.cultivated and the loose. moist earth IS thrown up where the..sun can shine on it.

a strong bit. He goeth home late to
his dreary wife with berry breath and
cold feet He riseth before time and
striketh forth before breakfast saying,
Il go to see man. The dead beat

queens taste. He ''naileth lie" but
before election he runs short of nails.
He giveth literally to the church, he

whose barn was burned. He sendeth a

RatiIGrS in The Glover

Frank Schuknecht of the town of
Troy has little experience, every
year, with rattlesnakes on a certain
portion of his farm. While he and the
boys were cutting clover last Monday
the mower cut up RATHER and last
week they cut one in three pieces. One
mad nine rattles, but of the other the
part containing the rattles was not
found.
Last year Mr.. Schuknecht killed one
bearing eight rattles at the same place
where the one was killed last Monday.
The snakes, when they get into the
sickle, clog the machine, and at such
times the men have been in the habit of
clearing away the obstruction with
their hands. Since the experience of
the past week they use a stick for that
purpose. Spring Green News.
