MAKE PASTURES A FEATURE
Variety Of Grasses Should Be Selected
TO Conform to Soil Conditions
Use a Little Thought.

We often hear people say that they
believe dairying might do pretty well
in certain neighborhoods II they only
had pastures. The idea these people
intend to convey is generally that all
the land is cropped and that there is
no low land too wet or high land too
rough to crop. In other words. these
good people do not know what pas
ture is. They have misinterpreted the
Lords intentions when he made land
too boggy or too hilly for cultivation
An ideal pasture should contain
number of grasses and clovers so that
In its turn some one of those grasses
or clovers is coming to its best each
week during the pasture season, writes
Ben r. Eldridge in Utah Farmer. The
variety OF grasses planted In pasture
should also be selected so that II there
is variety of soils or OF soil condi-
tions in the pasture there will be some
variety OF grass especially adapted TO
each variety or condition of the soil.
Some grasses, for instance, provide
excellent feed in the spring. They lie
dormant In the warmer weather OF
summer and make another very excel
lent growth in the fall. and these
grasses are excellent in their way, but
should be planted with other varieties
that are dought resistant and grow
fairly well during midsummer.
Some grasses do well on we'll
drained soil; others require low land.
where the soil is continually damp and
where the surface water is at shall
low depth below the ground level. Lay
ing of permanent pastures the ground
should be built up; that is, well ferti-
lized, laid OF IL It is to be irrigated so
that the greatest amount Of good can
be gained when water is applied.
Then, II proper variety Of grasses is
selected sod can be produced that
will stand a wonderful amount OF
tramping and for many years furnish
feed for several animals to the acre
during four to five months OF the year
That is what a pasture really is. Our
swamp lands and our rocky hillsides
are misnamed when we call them
pastures"
don't think it's much to the credit
of some of us who call places pastures
that have been used for forty years
and never known the planting of a
single seed from the band of the own
er. We can have most excellent pas
lures If we only use a little thought
and make them.
A few acres of good, well-made pas
ture will furnish more and better feed
ing than can be gathered from quar-
ter section Of much of the ground thai

the name of pasture" There arr
many places where there is fail

by reinforcing the native grasses b,

grasses.
Why leave these things all to thu
Lord? He has done a great deal fo
us. Let us do our share and MAKE
some pastures.

PRINCIPLE,

PRINClPLE-A few days ago one
of your correspondents whose name
I have forgotten sent you an article
in which he wrote of the mayOraIty
election.
He stated that Sweitzer was not
the man on account of his Sullivan
affiliations and that Thompson was
not his exact choice. He also stated
that Stedman was the proper man to
be elected, but that he would vote for
Thompson because there was no
chance for Stedman to be elected and
that he preferred Thompson to
SweitZeT.

to vote for what you want and not
get it than to vote for what you do
not want and get it,.

Is it just to allow millions of dol
lars of church property to go untax-

tax on the furniture in his home?

1 believe your Open Forum is the
proper place in which to discuss pol

I believe, too, that men and measures
ought to be discussed where the sub

l question the wisdom of religious
controversies, for nearly 100 per cent
of those who write upon the subject
are biased and, as a rule, do not know
what they write about.
would like to concede to others
those rights which are inherent in

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case.

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsupported
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide ex-

some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask him if coffee is a cause of con-
stipation, stomach and trou-
bles.
Il have been a coffee drinker all my
life, and when taken sick two years
ago with nervous p~rostration, the doc
tor said that my nervous system was
broken down and that I would have to
give up coffee.

The Farmers Auto.
From the Chicago Journal.

Several hundred thousand American
farmers nave invested or will invest in
automobiles this fall. And every such in
vestment will d to the attractiveness Of
rural life, and do its share in keeping
boys and girls in the farms.
With an automobile. the neighborhood is
quadrupled In size. Visits to town or to
friends are made easy. General gather
ings at local points are stimulated and
exchange of ideas. easier cooperation,
pleasanter life. There is likewise a most
enormous increase OF interest in good
roads.
Every farmer who buys an auto becomes
forthwith a champion of better highways.
