1t was not the first time Delmar had

Dalbys. John Daily had worked by
his side for years and they had been
good friends. Since his death a year
previous Delmar had more than once
eased the poverty of the patient, plod-
ding widow, who went out as a day
seamstress, but earned barely enough
TO provide for herself and her little
son, Ned, aged eight. The latter was
an invalid and his Illness and needs

RAPE FOR WINTER PASTURES
Farmer Who Expects to Carry Over
Few Hogs Should Have Patch
Do Not Buy Feed.

A circular from the extension depart
ment of the college of agriculture of
the University of Arkansas says about
rape:
Every farmer who expects to carry
over a few pigs for the winter should
plant patch of rape for winter pas
ture. DO not buy feed when it can
be grown" should be the motto of ev-
cry farmer. Arkansas buys too much
pork when we can grow pork cheaper
here than can the farmers of any of
the northern states.
