:. VOTE YES"
On Amendment No. Eight Save
Expense to Taxpayers.
Changes Term Of Judge Of Probate
From Two to Four Years to
Conform to Term Of Al
Other County Officers.

The Judge of probate is now the
only county officer elected for two
years. The constitution of the state
of Minnesota fixes the term of the
judge Of probate at two years. The
legislature has no authority to change
the term of this important Office. The
legislature has changed the terms of
all of the county officers from two to
four years and is powerless to change
the term of the Judge Of probate be-
cause that term is fixed by the con-
stitution. Consequently the legisla.
ture has proposed this amendment to
be submitted to the voters of Mime
sofa, and it is necessary to pass this
amendment in order to make the term
Of this office the same as the other
county officers. The passage Of this
amendment will save expense to the
taxpayers of the county. What sense
is there in electing one officer In the
county every two years when the 9th:
ers are elected for term of four
years? All the voters who believe in
direct legislation by the people should
vote upon this amendment. Those
who do not vote on the amendment
are counted as voting against it.
Mr.. Voter, vote for Amendment No.
8, and vote Eyes" to show you believe
in economy and uniformity of laws.

farm a large number of acres in such
manner that the yields secured barely
pay for the actual cost of production.
The sure way to secure profit it to
increase the yield. This may be done
by making the soil more productive
through the growing of leguminous
crops such as clover or alfalfa, through
the keeping Of livestock, through sys
tematic crop rotation, through better
cultivation, and through the use OF
better seed.
The timef to consider cultivation and
better seed is right now. The farmers
who are most successful are those who
make preparation in the fall for the
next springs planting.

HAY MEANS GOOD CROP, SURE
PAY

The three-year rotation of grain,
grasses, and cultivated crops, each oc-
cupying one-third Of the tillable land,
is deservedly popular. in the cut-over
sections. A four-year rotation, how
ever, has the advantage of saving Ia
Dor and of being adaptable to dairy
farm organization. 1t provides max
imum of roughage and selection Of
heavy, annual :rops of hay and roots.
In the four-year system, the annu-
al grain and cultivated areas are cut
more than in the three-year and the
hay area is increased. The grain
crop on the small timber-land farm is
of little importance. .- It is grown
chiefly to get catch of hay or to get
some concentrates for horses. Since
hay is easier to handle than grain,
one is justified in cutting the grain
area to one-fourth and seeding it to
oats or barley. -.
Where the dairy is the large end,
one may limit the cultivated area to.
one-fourth, which is given largely to
the production Of roots and fodder
corn, with some land left for a cash
crop of potatoes. With the manure
going on the stubble two years before,
the weed problem is lessened and the
amount of manure to the cultivated
acre is increased. This leaves h,l4.
the land in hay. Glover may be rails
ed the first year and timothy second.
Hay, like the root crop, is always
dependable. It means q minimum of
labor and q certain return. A system
based on the certainties Of hay and
roots cannot 60 far wrong for the

the article this occurs:
cat this point I entered the con.

in northeast Kansas who sells all of the

juice is heated to 100 degrees Fahren-

vent ferment bacteria finding their
way into the cider. When this or
chardist desires to sell the cider it is
drawn from the barrels, heated to 100
degrees for half an hour, and bottled
in quart bottles. Most Of the cider is
sold in pasteboard cartons which hold
six quart bottles. Each bottle is
wrapped in paper. This prevents
them from striking against one an
other and breaking.
IA travelling salesman then told US
about an Indiana farmer who is sell
ing butter and eggs by mail. He said
that it sometimes cost his friend sc
cents to get customer, but that re-
orders soon cut down the expense OF
the first advertising. According to
the travelling man this Indiana bust
