Demonstration Notes

Hogs made decided slump last week but climbed back again to the previous top of $23 30. Good money in good hogs at that price.
 Some of the cotton is laid by now and work IS stacker. Cut the weeds along the fences and ditch banks. Clean up the place. Repair that piece of bad fence. Make the place look better all around by picking up the things you have been putting off all year while you were in the grass
 Bitter weed is coming up thick in some places Dry weather makes the grass short and the cows will eat the bitter weed which makes bitter milk. Bitter weed makes a pasture look ragged besides making 1t less valuable A town lot covered with this weed Is an unsightly thing.
 A good many people have asked this year what they should plant for a per manent pasture or for winter pasture. Suggestions for pasture mixtures have been given in this column a number of times. NOW Is the time to order your grass and clover seed to plant next month. Don't wait till you are ready to sow
 Cut the corn and shock 1t. Cut be- fore all the stalks are brown. When the corn is mature but before the leaves are brittle is the time to handle it. With hay selling high you can t afford to waste single stalk. It is good feed and saves hay. When cut ting to shock or store, cut nearly to the ground. It is not profitable to cut the stalk off about the ear. If cut early enough some of the plant food in the stalk will be finally left in the ear and if cut above the ear this will not fill out as it should because the food supply is cut off Cut the corn off and put winter growing crops on the same ground These will be out of the way in time for crop next year or can be plowed under for fertilizer

car situated along the Central rail

blaze is not known but 1t Is thought
by some that a spark from a passing
