themselves after having grown it for
a few times.
1t should be remembered that what
is called Spring Vetch is not the same
as Hairy Vetch, but a closely related
specie. 1t differs economically from
the Hairy Vetch in that it winter kills
and in other ways is not so hardy.
The seed sells for considerably less,
and consequently it is often used by
unreliable firms as an adulterant of
the Hairy Vetch. Spring Vetch seeds
are larger and not so round or so
black as those of the Hairy Vetch, and
the seed scar is more wedge shaped.
If still in doubt crush some of the
seed The inside of the Spring Vetch
seed is a reddish orange color, while
the crushed Hairy Vetch seed pre-
sents a distinctly lemon yellow color.
Corn Cookie is the most common weed
seed found though it has appeared in
small amounts this season in the seed
offered for sale by Michigan seed
companies.
Is il a Profitable Crop?
If properly managed, this crop will
yield far more profit on sandy soils
than such crops as wheat, oats, bar
ley, etc, and in addition will leave
the soil in better condition for sub
sequent crops. When the crop is
properly prepared, the yield of vetch
on sandy soils ranges from three to
six bushels per acre. in addition to
the rye with which it is commonly
sown. The yield to be expected is
dependent not so much upon the soil
as upon the treatment given the crop.
The seed is selling for $3.50 per
bushel, and, at such prices the farm
ers of the sandy soils of Michigan
should by all means grow vetch for
seed.
We are encouraging the growth of
vetch in every section of the state, as
we know it to be one of our best
crops.

= With the Blue Valley Creamery Company
in charge of the Dairy Information Service

Keep sick animals away from the
rest Of the herd. Put them in the pest
house.
Feed the chickens all the skim milk
they will use. They will help swell
the profits from the dairy.
The common COW, providing she
isn't too common, with common horse
sense on the part of her owner, will
produce pretty good results.
1t doesn't pay to keep too many
too much land. Doing the work well
is most profitable.
When some fellows make a failure
of what they undertake it's bad luck.
When they succeed its good manage
ment.
A man may be wise and still not
know it, but the fellow who thinks he
knows it all is always mistaken.
In producing milk and cream we get
no profits until the cost of the feed
is covered. That's the reason a $50
pound cow is not profitable.
It's pleasure to take care of cows
if the stables and stalls are properly
arranged. That is, it is a pleasure
for the person who can get pleasure
out of interesting work.
What is your plan in handling the
nervous COW? Do you pet her or
pound her?

"THE KINGS"

A man said unto his Angel:
"My spirits are fallen low,
And | can not carry this battle;
o brother where might | go?
"The terrible kings are on me
With spears that are deadly bright,
Against me so from this cradle
Do fate and my fathers fight"
Then said to the man his Angel:
"Thou wavering, witless soul,
Back to the ranks! What matter
To win or lose the whole. 4.
"As judged by the little judges, ~
Who harken not well, nor see?
Not thus, by the outer issue,
The Wise shall interpret thee.
"Thy will is the sovereign measure
And only event of things
The puniest heart, defying,
Were stronger than all these kings.
Though out of the past they gatVr,
Minds doubt and bodily pain,
And pallid thirst of the spirit
That is kin to the other twain;
"And grief, in a cloud of banners,
And ringleted vain desires,
And vice, with spoils upon him
Of thee and thy beaten sires-
"Whie kings of eternal evil
Yet darken the hills about,
Thy part is with broken saber
To rise on the last redoubt;
"To fear not sensible failure,
Not covet the game at all,
But fighting, fighting, fighting, -
Die, driven against the wall" ~

is tin-can opener. 1t is the best

lege, and he has a number of things
to make my work easier, and our
vegetables more attractive on the
table. Will you talk to him while |
finish my baking?"
Surely" said the "Sand Farmer"
as he told Prince to stand still.
Prince arched his great neck, and his
head moved restlessly as his hoofs
paved the ground, as much as to say:
Just let me show you how strong
am"
The student patted Prince, and
asked: DO you have to exercise him
very much?"
"About an hour a day." replied the
"Sand Farmer" "but he will soon get
to work"

dent, chow long do you exercise your

mer." Exercise my boys? Why they
are not colts"
"No," laughed the student, "but
they are going to begin life's work
pretty soon, and / supposed you cared
as much for your boys as your
horses"
"Say," young man, said the "Sand
Farmer" | should like to talk to you
about that. Just wait until | put out
this colt"
Mother was standing at the open
window, and laughed as she remarked:
"You touched Father in a tender spot.
He just lives for the boys, but don't
believe he ever thought of exercising
them before, but they all help with
the work"
"Now come and sit on the porch, "
said the "Sand Farmer" What do
you mean by exercising my boys as
much as my colts ?"
at is this way" said the student,
"many men spend good deal of time
training their horses, or working in
their offices like slaves, that they may
give their boys farm, or a fortune
when they die, but the boys would be
a good deal better off if their fathers
would spend more time teaching them
how TO play like men,"
