A charming effect may be had by

crocuses, scillas, snOwdrOps and chi.
onondoxas are we'll adapted to this
type of planting. A good way to get
an irregular yet natural arrangement
is to scatter handful of bulbs, plant

to pay good profit : With !; speciaI
management has been proved by r.
e. Farrand of Sumner, in Butler coaslf-
ty. He bought a five year old animal
that had a reputation for giving it's
former owner nothing more than the
pleasure of milking her and got out
of her in the first nine months Of
ownership a profit of s51.71.
, This COW, grade Holstein, came
out of the Cedar Valley. Test Asso-
citation, in Black Hawk county. She
was exhibited at the Waterloo dairy
show year ago as "Blackie Water
loo ~" the poorest COW in the Cedar
Valley association. The year proceed
ing she had produced only los pounds
of butterfat and she lost her owner
l$3.53 for the year.
However, Mr.. Farranl didn't be-
lieve the COW was quite as black as
she looked or as she, was painted in
the records. He thot he saw in her
dairy qualities and it appealed to him
to undertake an experiment with her.
So he bought "Blackie"., paying some
thing like SCI for her while his friends
smiled good naturedly.a He took her
home to his dairy farm at Sumner
and began to study her and to learn
whether her good qualities might not
be brought out. On January 1, 1915,
Mr.. Farrand began to put her on test
! for a years production record. His
judgement proved to be good, and his
management first class, for every
month showed "Blackie' to be coming
along with balance on the right side
of the ledger. At the end of eight
months, Sept. L., she had done the
remarkable thing of producing 244 lbs.
of butterfat and making profit of
$51.71. -

predict. . 4
The growing of trees either for
lumber or farm timber on these
lands is profitable now and will be
more so as the country's commercial
forests disappear. Catalpa and cotton
wood can be grown to fence post size
in Very short time. European Larch
grows rapidly and makes good poles.
White pine and cottonwood reach log
size in 20 to SO years. The species
except catalpa, are hardy
in all parts of the state. Catalpa must
