GIVE THE PASTURE A
CHANCE

The plant uses it's leaves for
building more plant. Without
leaves the plant cannot make nor
NAL growth. This is true of pas
ture crops as well as for other
plants. When pastured too close
the pasture crops cannot make
much growth and hence do not
produce much food . It weakens
the plant too so that it may not
make a normal growth the next
year. Give the pasture a chance
to produce by not pasturing it
too short. Ayr. Elk. Dept. N. D..

ENGLISH HELD MANY FEASTS
oyster Festival. White Bait Dinner,
Fish Pie and Sausage Repasts,
Among Former Celebrations

There is scarcely an old city or VII
lage In England that formerly did not
have an annual banquet of some sort.
designed to advertise the particular
products for which the place Is fam
ous, observes correspondent. Col
chester had its annual oyster feast,
which was given every October, usu-
ally at the beginning of the month.
But that was comparatively modern
festival. Much more ancient was the
yearly white bait dinner at Greenwich,
which at one time was almost as great
a social event as the dinner given by
the lord mayor Of London.
The fish pie dinner at Confession.
near Yarmouth, had as its guests each
year 65 fishermen, with the vicar at
