is more certain than corn and is better

To build up land there must be added
vegetable matter. You a increase
your crop yield by better planning, bet
ter cultivation, better seed and a rota-
ton of crops, but your land is becom-
ing poorer all the time, and to restore
what is taken out, more must be put
back than is taken from it.
Sow clover. One mar in this county
is sowing about 300 bushels of bur clo-
yer. If he keeps this up every year
some day he will have a place rich In
nitrogen. Crimson and red clover can
be sown as late os October Goth with

Now is the proper time to begin pre-
paration for hog crops. You may have
good crops for the hogs through the
summer and fall, but if you have no
grazing crops for them through the
winter and spring your profits from
hogs can't be large. Sow some Grim
son clover, red clover, rape. and give
hem access to the oats and wheat.
There are a number of farmers in this
county who are not able to get into the
beef cattle or dairy business who could
make money raising hogs if they would
give the hogs a fair chance.

The price beef cattle are now bring
ing is not at all encouraging. Some
native COW have sold IS low as SIC a
pound on the st, Louis market. There
IS no profit in cattle raising at such low
prices, but in this same shipment there
we're several grade steers that had no
bitter pasture that sold for 6Ic.
A car load of grade steers shipped from
Brook sville recently brought as high as
SITS per hundred in st. Louis. They
were shippnd right off the pasture with
out any extra feeding. Cattle feeders
are securing the countgA&A-grades,
but they don't want nat. yes. A herd
of spring grade calves were sold last
week on the pasture for &c. These
calves weighed oyer 400 pounds each,
and they cost the owner so little hat
the price they brought was nearly all
profit. There are some grade calves to
be seen in the county, though, that will
not class as high as the average native
calf. Good pastures are necessary be-
fore good cows can be grown.

FRAULEIN WINS DOUBLE DISTINCTION FOR HER
 THRILLING BRAVERY

Bochum, Germany, Feb. 25.-Both the iron cross and the medal for life saving decorate the breast of FrauIein Aust, a girl still in her teens and a native of Bochum- When the war broke out, Miss Aust, like many other girls, experienced the desire to join the Red Cross. She knew her pa rents would object, so she obtained permission of them to visit relatives at Muenster, but instead of proceed ing there she went to Red Cross training home and was soon drafted to the eastern front as a nurse. There her bravery on the battlefle1ds Of Po- land, where she tended the wounded under fire, attracted attention from ces of her courage to Field-MarshaI von Hindenburg. The commander-in chief thereupon decided to award her the Iron Cross which he himself pin ned on her blouse. A short time af-

 she said to the footman:
 "Ye won't hurt him, will ye? Michael at that stage licked her hand and wfined, as though he knew they were to be separated Peg conforted him and went on: "An' I'd be much obliged to ye if ye'd give him some wather an bone. He loves mutton bones.'
 Peg looked down and found Alaric sitting at desk near the door staring at her in disgust.
 He was such funny looking little fellow to Peg that she could not feel any resentment toward him. His sleek. well brushed hair; his carefully creas- ed and admirably cut clothes, his self suficiency and, above all, his absolute assurance that whatever he did was right amused Peg immensely. He was an entirely new type of young man to her, and she was interested. She smiled at him now in a friendly way and said: tsYe must know Michael is simply crazy about mutton. He loves mutton"
 Alaric turned indignantly away from her.
 asCome hereI'' called Mrs. Chichester. Peg walked overRto her, and when she got almost beside the old lady she turned to have another glimpse at Alarfc and gave him little, chuckling. good natured laugh.

 seYes, ma'am,'' replied Peg, with a little courtesy. Mrs. Chichester closed her eyes for a moment. What was to be done with this barbarian? Why should this aff1iction be thrust upon her? Then she thought of the thou sand pounds a year. She opened her eyes and looked severely at Peg.

 Is mans friendship for a woman sincere if it has no halo of romance for its setting? Many woman has pondered over the query Most men could answer 1t without hesitation, but they won't.
 A man may drop in of an evening to call, sure of 8 welcome, though this means of expressing his appre- citation of her society has not broad ened beyond the confines of friend ship though these visits have extended over 8 period of years. He expects only kindly regard from her. But the women-is there one among them clev- CT enough to know where the invisible line is at which friendship has halted ere it took the course which subtly led on to love?
 She studies the situation will all a WoInanss disregard of fair judgment. Would he continue to come if a senti- ment stronger than that of friendship did not sway his desire to be in her company Would he defer to her opin- ions if he did not have faith in her? Last, but by no means least in sum ming up the situation, the fact that he does not appear to call upon any other woman gives buoyancy to her hopes that he is interested in no one else. S
 Few women can be thrown constant ly in the society of such a man for a period of years and be content to ex- pect nothing more than his Friendship only in the long run.
