1t costs nothing to soak hard grain

clean floors and clean water than they
do In dirty surroundings.

Poor Methods at Fault.

What we need today Is better farm
ing. better system of rotation and
more land in grass. Under such man
agement we can put stock raising on
a money making basis and gradually
build up our soils. The great trouble
today is net that of poor land SO much
as it is poor methods OF soil handling.
Much Of the trouble is due to the fact
that we do not measure up to the rres

THE FOURTH OF JULY

(By George W. Bethune) Name, from her farthest border, gives the first exulting shout, And from New Hampshire's granite heights the echoing peal rings out; The mountain farms of staunch Vermont prolong the laundering call, And Massachusetts answers Bunker Hill''-a watchword for us all. Rhode Island shakes her sea wet locks, acclaiming with the free, And staid Connecticut breaks forth in joyous harmony; The giant joy of proud New York, loud as an earthquakes roar, Is heard from Hudson's crowded banks to Erie's crowded shore Still on the booming volley rolls, OCT plains and flowery glades, To where the Mississippi's flood the turbid gulf invades; There, borne from many a mighty stream upon her mightier tide, Come down the swelling, long huzzas come from all that valley wide And wood crowned Allegheny's call from all her summits high, Reverberates among the rocks that pierce the sunset sky, While on the shores and through the swales, round the vast inland seas, The stars and stripes midst freemen's songs are flashing to the breeze. The woodsman from the mother takes his boy upon his knee And tells him how their fathers fought and bled for liberty. The lonely hunter sits him down the forest spring beside To think upon his country's worth and feel his country's pride. While many a foreign accent which our God can understand Is blessing Him for home and bread in this free, fertile land. Yes: when upon the eastern coast we sink to happy rest The day of independence rolls still onward to the west Till dies on the Pacific shore the shout of jubilee That woke the morning with its voice along the Atlantic sea. o God, look down upon the land which thou hast loved so we'll And grant that in unbroken truth her children still may dwell Nor while the grass grows on the hill and streams flow through the vale May they forget their fathers faith or in their covenant fail; Keep.
