REFERRING to the Importance of
taking care Of your farms, the Nat
ioual Breeders Gazette editorially
says: Yes, you can farm without live
stock. You can haul your farm inch
by inch TO market and cash it in at
the country elevator, il you like. You
may fancy you are doing q good thing
for yourself. Well, if you are ten
ant perhaps you are smart in thus
selling that which belongs to some-
body else. But IL you own the land
yourself, have carel 1t may be wise
to go out after wild war market for
wheat or some other like crop as a
temporary measure, but you will
never see the time when it will pay
as regular system to Danish good
live stock from your general scheme
Of management. Feed the land, and it
will never fail to feed you and your
children. Breed and feed good ami
mails adapted to your circumstances
and markets, and don't be stampeded
by such disappointments as come at
intervals to every man in every line
of business. Faith in our future,
faith in ourselves, faith in the aver
age outcome Of sound practices per-
sistently pursued, joined with that
Judgment which is requitite to right
result in any calling, will do the rest.
And beyond all things else arrive at
a balanced view of what constitutes
true success in life and permanent
profit.

|MARCH ON CONSTANT|NOpLE
BEGUN BY THE ALLIES

London, April 28.--The march on
Constantinople has begun. British
and French troops having effected a
landing on both sides Of the Darda-
nelles under what are described al
excellent conditions" have taken
many prisoners and are continuing
their advance.
Paris officially announces the occu,
patton of Kun Kaleh the largest Tur-
lSish fortress on the Asiatic side of the
straits by French infantry and artil-
lery.
The official statements are very
contradictory concerning the fighting
in the vicinity of Ypres. 1t would APP
pear the German offensive north of
that city, which resulted in their re-
cent gain of almost three miles, has
reached its limit.
The rush over, the British troops

from Lizerne, their new lodgment on
the west bank of the canal nearest
Calais, but have crossed the canal and
hold Het Sas, on the east bank.

FIGHT THE DANDEL|ONS;
YELLOW PERIL TAKING CITY

The growth of the dandelion in var
ious parts of Mexico has assumed a
yellow peril. Lawn after lawn is hav-
ing its blue grass Nsmothered by this
weed. Many householders are trying
to keep their lawns free from the
weed but the only way this can be
done is through the whole efforts Of
the entire neighborhood. In some
cities there is an ordinance against
allowing them to grow inside the city
limits.
The best method for removing them
is by the digging system. However,
you can spray your lawn with sol
ution Of sulphate of iron and if it is
not too strong the grass will survive
while the weed will be killed.
And if the dandelions are to be re-
moved by the digging method, it
should be remembered the roots are
very long. They are fbrous and slen-
der, and if the eradiction is to be eff
ficacious, all Of them must be taken
out Of the ground. Any bit Of live
root left will spring up again and the
work must be done over again soon.
Frequent moving will prevent seed
ing, and that, of course, will aid in
preventing a further spread.

Il. M. White & Son
Editors Ledger.
Dear Friends;
April 2S, 1915.-As you know
1--WE are to the manner born
and should talk right out in the
"meetin'. In the matter Of the
proposed bond issue l have just read
in your daily issue of Monday, April
26th, the good ripe thoughts of Judge
w. W. Fry. l had heretofore read
from the level headed druggist, Fred
Llewellyn. The other folks are try
ing to legislate themselves into money
to the. down right detriment of our
people. Don't you believe for one
minute that the good level headed
business sentiment of this town (our
idol) will be carried away by such
considerations as they put out in print.
Just reflect moment, and think of
the railroads in the face of the strong
est stringency since the Civil War
asking our Legislature to legislate
them into an increase. Why couldn't
they just wait a while and give the
people breathing spell? | say why?
Llewellyn is right and Judge Fry is
right on this enormous bond business.
Always your friend,
j. w. Daniel.
