ERADICATION OF WILD ONIONS
Flowing UP Pasture and c%uItivating
the Soil Is Only Sure Way Of
Destroying the Pest.

The wild onion, a very serious pest
in the pastures of many eastern and
middle states, can be eradicated only
by blowing up the pasture and cul-
tivating the land. Where only a
few weeds are growing, each clump
may be uprooted separately.

tivated fields. Pillow late in autumn

PLANS FOR STORING CLOVER
Real Secret is to Cut It at Proper
Time and Cure 1t "In the Shade"
as, Much as Possible.

Where clover hay is put into the
cock, it is advisable to open up the
cocks and permit them to air a short
time before taking them to the stack
or NOW.
Ii the hay is put. into a stack, the
stack should be started upon a bot
tom of poles, brush, straw, or old hay.
Where it is placed directly on the
ground there is bound to be more or
less spoiled hay in the bottom. Clio
yer hay does not shed water, and il
is advisable to top out clover stacks
with rather green timothy, prairie. or
slough hay, putting on enough hang
ers to hold the top in place.
There are a few variations in the
methods of making good clover hay.
but the real secret, no matter what
the method, is to cut it at the proper
time and cure it lin the shade" as
much as possible, being careful to
avoid a hasty drying up of the leaves
and ~overcuring. Properly cured clo-
yer hay will sweat in either the stack
or the now, but unless it is ~unevenly
packed and loose, no alarm need be
felt if it gets warm.

WORLD REALLY DOES MOVE
New Highlander Tells Good Story to
illustrate the Progress That
Marks Modern Times.

Congressman William H. Murray, on
his return from a vacation in the
heart of the New England country,
said in Tishomingo:
The progress of the country is as
tonishing. The farmer of today drives
his motor car, smokes his cigarette
N a long amber tube, and, over his
after-dinner coffee, listens to Caruso,
singing the Star Song from 'Tosca'
on the phonograph, or hears his wife
rendering on the player-piano Grieg's
Peer Gynt' suite.
MY New England farmer host, in
answer to my compliments, said. yes,
things had changed on the farm, and,
to accent this change, he told a story
"a story of the past.
'In the general store of the village,
he began, the general s~torekeeper
took a chew Of tobacco and said:
Tibet thar new preacher of ocrn
is certainly a dude. Gosh hang my
buttons eff he don't comb out his
whiskers every mornin'. 1 got it
straight from the hired gall
Everybody stared at the general
storekeeper in establishment before
this news. Then the old squire
chuckred and said:
Wal, by crinus, | don't see how
he stands the torture Of it. l comb
my whiskers every Sunday, and
DANCED eff the knots don't make me

Such breeding brings increased Wig.
or and p~repotency and gives us the
best products. Types must be pre-
served if we maintain a profitable
herd. The only way to maintain type
and prepotency is to stick close to
one breed
Select the breeds best adapted to
the markets that you supply. II you
cannot afford to buy pure-bred stock,
start with your herd as it is and try
to improve it.
Go your length on a good bull. If
your cows are deficient in the flow of
milk, buy a sire that will make up the
quality. If their milk is deficient in
butterfat, breed from a sire whose
tendency is built up along that line.
Breed from sires that are vigorous
and prepotent. This will give you
the standard for which you are striv-
ing. We want animals possessing
blood, type and prepotency that come
only from systematic breeding.
When we buy a pure-bred breeding
bull we are paying the mar who bred
him a premium for his education and
brains, to raise the standard of our
own herd.

SELECTING Brood Sows.

When selecting brood sows spare
those that have shown themselves to
be good mothers. Do not be tempted
by price or any other consideration tc
part with them as long as they will
breed well, unless they show indica
lions of impaired usefulness. One good
brood SOW should be worth two young
ones whose usefulness has not beer
proven. Attention to this matter
would greatly increase the profits from
growing swine.

with the blank side up Suddenly she
turned them over and placed both her
hands firmly on the paper.
Enoch took a few steps forward and
peered down through his glasses. His
gait grew unsteady and his fingers
gripped at the edge of the table. a
purplish flush swept owe his cheeks.
then he became CHASTITY pale. His very
lips grew white. There were gray
hollows about his eyes like the shad-
W which creep into a face after
death. His mouth moved, but he did
not utter a word, because his tongue
touched dry lips.
Il knew you would understand"
murmured the woman.
Wentworth's hands sprang at her
wrists like the grip of a wild beast
snatching at its prey
Don't" entreated the actress. You
hurt terribly. You do not know how
strong you are. Besides-you are fool
ish. horribly foolish. If you should
tear this, it is nothing but Exhibit A.
There are hundreds of sheets where
it came from. And let me tell you
they are where you won't find them"
Wentworth unclasped her wrists,
but his eyes were blazing with MUIR
gesture to the wall behind him.
Against a rug Of Oriental mating
hung a collection of savage weapons.
The m watched him with cool
unconcern. He seemed to be search
ing rapidly with his eyes for some
thing. He laid his hand upon a long
thin dagger. Here and there its blade
had rusted to blackness, but it's edge
was deadly keen. He jabbed the point
of it into his blotting pad. 1t curled
over lithely, as a Ferrara does. Then
he glanced at the woman beside the
table. His eyes were glittering with
J the bloodthirsty passions of the primi-
tive man.
: Ziila Paget lifted a ~lorgnette which
hung at her wrist by a jeweled chain.
She clicked it open. raised it to her
eyes-and laughed.
Il wonder" she murmured, IF you
realize how ridiculous you look. You
are too white-livered to do such a
thing as that. Besides" she glanced
about the sunlit room, where could
you hide the body?"
Enooh tossed the blade upon his
desk and began to walk up and down
the floor. He rolled his handkerchief
into a hard ball and dabbed with it
continual, at his moist forehead. The
woman sat perfectly still. She turned
to fold the sheets of paper, then she
laid one hand upon them and lay back
gracefully in her chair.
Wentworth turned on her with g
sudden question. How much do you
want for-Exhibit A and the rest Of
the evidence?"
She shrugged her shoulders. Il have
no intention of selling it."
Then what's your price," Enoch's
question snapped like a pistol shot.
She looked up at him with a de
risive smile.
