Get Behind the Pillow,

] Germany, they say, is one vast
truck garden, with scarcely a foot
OF waste ground. This is the policy
adopted by the Germans to insure
food for the soldiers and the civil
population now that the empire is
Isolated from the outside world.
Ana II Germany can put millions
OF men into her armies and still Gull
tlvate all of her land, why is it we
Americans cannot accomplish gre ater
results with the land in this country
where we have no wars to swallow
up our young men and all are free
to work?
Just cast your eye around our own
community and note the land un-
titled, waiting for the man and the
ploW. Think of the many thous-
ands of dollars this idle land would
produce if there were a man be-
hind and horse in front of that
plow. And think of the unemplov-
ed all over the country who are
complaining Of mo work"
It's bunk-all bunk crv Of
no work. There's plenty of
work in the country for those
who are willing to turn their hands

found.
The cold fact is most people are
SO arbitrary and stubborn they in
slst on doing certain kind Of work
or they won't work at all.
Our great cities, and even manv
OF the smaller ones, are simply STAG
gering under the burden of the nm
employed, and yet there are mil
lions OF acres of rich land waiting in
vain for some one to till them.
There may even be people right
IN our immediate vicinity who are
waillng and bemoaning the so-called
lack of work, when as a matter If
fact there is work for all of them
IN the fields adjacent to our little
city.
The man who can't work should
be plttied and cared for, but the fell
low who won't work should be kick

To Progressive Farmers.

No doubt you are thinking of get
ting more OF better live stock, or
both, on your farm. If so, you
should first be interested in getting
better pastures and better forage
crops to feed them on. This is the
local way to proceed.
Nearly any land that is not too wet
will grow profitable crops of grass
es and clovers if handled properly.
A hundred demonstrations of this
were made by farmers in twenty
counties Of this State. The mixture
named below produced an average
of 5000 pounds Of good cured hay
per acre. The profit latter deduct
ing all expences of growing, har-
vesting, etc., was $31OO per acre.
Another evidence Of the suitable
ness of our soils for hay and pas
turage crops, is the successful way
in which wild grasses grow through
out the State.
HOW TO PROCEED
1t is just as necessary to properly
perpare land for these crops as it is
for any other crop which you grow.
Briefly, good preparation means the
following Drain where necessary
break from 8 to 10 inches deep
month or more before planting
time thoroughly harrow two or
three times Immediately after
breaking, to pulverize the soil har-
row again at planting time. If the
land breaks into clods, run a roller
over it and harrow Immediately. Of
the land was broken deeply in the
spring, and has been cultivated all
summer, probably it will not need
another deep breaking.) Use 500
pounds of bonereal per acre at
planting time, or give a good coat
ing Of stable manure about Novem-
Der or December after the grass has
gotten started. Earlier applica-
lions may produce weeds Use per
acre a ton Of Stacked, burnt lime, or
two tons of finely ground limestone,
we'll narrowed in before planting.
All legumes should have incubation
from some source.
TIME TO PLANT.
Most failures, in getting a stand
of clovers and grasses, are due
either to too late planting or to too
poor preparation of the soil. In the
plant from August 18th
to September 25th. In the central
part of the State from September
10th to October 10th. In the east
ern part Of the State from Septem-
Der Goth to October Goth. The two
following mixtures have given good
results. The amounts are each for
one acre:
Orchard Grass 1-2 bus. Timothy 10 lbs.
Italian Rye Grass IL bus Red Top 10 lbs.
Meadow Dat Grass 1-2 bus. Sapling Clover lhs
Red Clover 10 lbs.
Timothy 10 lbs
