THE NEWSPAPER LAW

Few readers of newspapers fully
and clearly understand the laws gov
erning subscriptions. Below are the
decisions of the supreme court Of the
United States on the subject:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered
as wishing to renew their subscrip-
ton.
If subscribers order a discontinue
ance of their periodicals, the publisher
may continue to send them until all
dues are paid.
If subscribers continue to take the
which they are directed, they are res.
ponsible until they have settled the
bill and ordered the paper discontin-
ued.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former ad'
dress, the subscriber is held RESPONSE
BILE.
The courts have held that refusing
to take periodicals from the post office
or removing and leaving them uncall-
tentiOn to defraud.
If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not wish to con.
tinue taking it, otherwise the publisher
is authorized to send it and the sub
scriber will be responsible until ex-
press notice with payment of all ar
rearages is sent to the publisher.

SUCCESS OF SWEET CLOVER ON
EXPERIMENT STATION FARM

The sweet clover sown on the eXper-
iment station farm is making a big
growth Some of it is six feet tall and
still growing. Some of this will be put
in the silo as an experiment to see
what kind of silage it will make. Some
of the sweet clover has been cut for
hay. 1t was cut before blossoming so
as to avoid allowing it to become too
woody. 1t has been found that when
the sweet clover is cut close to the
ground most of the plants are killed.
BY cutting it six to eight inches from
the ground the plants are not killed
and make a second crop for hay.
This sweet clover has been seeded
with a nurse crop. 1t has also been
sown without nurse crop, but there
has been practically no difference in
the stands secured. The yields have
been as follows: First crop 1914, IL
tons per acre, 1915 first crop, 21a tons,
and the first crop in 1916 went z 1-3
tons. 1t must be remembered that this
first crop is cut before the plant be-
gins to blossom. This year some of
the sweet clover will be put in the silo
at the time when the leaves begin to
get yellow at the bottom of the stems.
This will give some idea Of the yields
that can be secured at this stage, as
we'll as the kind of ensilage it makes.
The pigs have not taken to the sweet
clover very readily, as they much pre-
fer alfalfa The pigs on sweet clover
have also required more grain to make
a pound of gain than those on alfalfa.
This means it has cost more to make
gains on the pigs pastured on the
sweet clover than on those pastured
on alfalfa.

PROTESTS FROM HoRTENsE.

II think that father has a nerve"
Exclaimed Hortense Magee,
ITO flout the coffee that serve
And criticise the tea.
For father goes into the woods
A little rest to win,
And lives for weeks upon the goods
That are preserved in tin.
And when he takes a coffee pot
And tits it on the fire,
The mixture that he brews is not
A beverage to admire.
His coffee is a pallid buff
Through which the grounds ru1
loose;
His tea is pathetic bluff,
And tastes like jimson juice.
The biscuit that he bakes with glee
Are hard as granite blocks.
The bacon, too, appears to be
Clipped out Of sandstone rocks.
I'm weary Of the sad pretense
From which he will not swerve;
Again l say" exclaimed Hortense,
THAT father has a nerve.'

some READABLE VERSE
WHEN JOY CHANGED THE TUNE.

Had so much of trouble that when
joys a-comin' along
He starts right in to greet him with
tribulation song!
But Joy takes down the banjo, and
the shadows vanish soon,
And Troubles feet are friskin' to a
rollickin' old tune!
For there's such thing as gettin'
used to trouble, till you seem
To be always lookin for hin-like a
wanderer in dream;
Oh, you think he's still a-waitin' with
the wolves that bay the moon,
But Joy takes down his banjo, and he
changes Troubles tune!
So, we know that joys a-comin'-that
he's only loft somewhere"
And We'll hope for hallelulia in the
valleys of despair;
Life's shadowy Defenders still dream
of joy and June,
For Joy takes down his banjo, and he
changes Troubles tune.

KILLING WILD OATS

1t has been found at the North Da-
kota experiment station that wild oats
buried over five inches deep will lose
their termination in two years and
will not grow. A good way to combat
the wild oats is to SOW fields to grass,
clover and alfalfa. The wild oats that
are shallower than five inches will
grow but will be killed in cutting the
crop for hay and the deeply buried
ones will die before the land is plow-
ed again. Wild oats that sprout in the
fall will not live through the winter,
so there is no danger from that
source.

To the preacher, life's a sermon,

To the preacher, life's sermon,
To the joker, it's a jest;
To the miser, life is money,
To the loafer, life is rest.
To the lawyer, life's trial,
To the poet, life's a song;
To the doctor, life's a patient
Who needs treatment right along.
To the soldier, life's a battle,
To the teacher, life's a school,
Lies a good thing to the CRATER,
It's failure to the fool.
To the man upon the engine,
Life's long and heavy grade;
It's a gamble to the gambler,
To the merchant, life is trade.
Life is but long vacation
To the man who loves his work;
Life's an everlasting effort
To shun duty, to the shirk.
Life is what we try to make it
Brother, what is life to you?

MUST DIVERSITY

The concensus Of opinion seems to
be that the condition of small grain
this season is an object lesson in farm
ing. The newspapers and agricultural
colleges have been preaching diversifi'
cation and rotation for many years
but there are still many farmers
who make farming gamble by crop
ping almost their entire farms to small
grain. Some farmers might be SO sit

THE FELLOW WHO WORRIES

Here's to the fellow who worries,
The brother who longs for the strife
The eager, hard worker who hurries
Each day to the duties of life,
With his work on the post where he's
needed,
His thoughts on the work to be
done,
He chafes when his pace is impeded
And halted, he longs to get on.
The fellow who worries is never
Contented to be idle and rest,
His duties are calling him ever,
His soul is alive in his breast:
A quick sense of honor is squirting
Him on to the work he must do;
His pulses his action are stirring
And he has goal to pursue.
Stop the fellow who worries with ILL.,
ness,
Restrain him for days on his bed,
And he'll think through the dreary
nights stiffness
Of those whom by him must be fed
About him his duties will hover
And add to his torment of pain,
They will shrek, there is ground to
recover.
Go back to your labors again"
Then here's to the fellow who worries
The fellow of spirit and grit,
Who faces life's feverish flurries
And boldly refuses to quit.
Despite all the ills that assail him
Unwilling, you find him, to shirk,
The fellow who worries! I hail him,
The man who has pride in his work.
