change, he bought land on the
shores of Silver lake, about
mile from town, and there dur
ing the past three years had
comfortably established himself
as a small farmer, enjoying the
relaxation from a busy lite in the
city. He had apparently been in
good health, making regular
trips to town and forming a
host of friends who found in him
a respected and honored acquain-
tance.
Lately he had been suffering
from a bad cold but was able
to be about as late as supper
time Monday evening. After sup
per, he retired early and lapsed
into Inconsistencies from which
he never revived. Death came
about ten O'Clock. His sudden
demise is deeply felt by many.
There will be short funeral
services at the farm home Thurs
day morning before the remains
are taken on their last Journey
to Milwaukee In that city the
funeral will be held Friday and
then the remains will be Gre
mated. The only immediate rela-
tive surviving is the wife; sis
ter and other distant relatives
still live in Austria

Even with the necessary loss one
should secure at least as much as D
to bushels of seed per acre.
The stripper removes the seed from
the stem. The seed is still in the
bur, and must either be hulled by a
machine or sown In the bur. There Ia
some difficulty In seeding In the bur,
though numerous instances show that
it can be done successfully by mix
ing 1t with pulverized soil or some
other material to prevent the burs
from sticking together. Care should
be taken to scatter the seed uniform
ly when this method of sowing Is used.
1t would seem that better stands Of
clover are secured when unhulled seed
is sown. A bushel of well-packed hulls
contain from III to 2 pounds OF seed.
By weight it has been estimated that
80 to 60 per cent of unshelled material
is seed. This method Of producing
seed is not ideal for commercial pur-
poses, but 1t is certainly practical for
those of us who are interested in
merely growing seed for home use and
having some to spare for neighbors.
When we begin to produce our own
seed ON our own farms there will be
little purchasing of seed. There will
be no call for money at a season when
that article is particularly scarce With
some Of u.s. The result will be an
increase in the acreage of this valua-
