London, Feb. 28.-Lord Halsbury, the venerable former Lord Chancel- Tor, has been receiving a flood of con- gratulations on the 18th anniversary of his call to the bar.

 Lord Halsbury became Chancellor in 1885 and after two temporary re tirements filled his position without interruption from 1895 to 1905 when he retired definitely. Since the pen sion of a Lord Chancellor is 5000 pounds a year, it is estimated that

WHAT SHALL | PLANT
FOR A LATE CROP?

A crop of potatoes may sometimes
be raised here when planted after the
first of July, but it is not at all certain.
The first Of June is late enough to put
them in TO be sure of full crop. Land
gotten ready for a crop later than that
should be planted to sorghum, millet,
sand vetch, sweet clover, or some rap
idly-groWing crop that natures quick
~. One should be slow to pillow up a
good clover field to put in any other
crop unless he is sure he has ample
time to tend the crop.
Billion Dollar Grass is a fancy name
given TO Siberian millet, which makes
it sound lot bigger, and for a late
crop there are few crops that will beat
it for feed.

ANOTHER IOWA MAN
MAKES BIG SHOWING

Carl kreklau has owned Ills S0-acre
farm 3 miles south of Ladysmith, for
the past five years, and lived on it
three years. He has built machine
she'd, ii horse and calf shed, a hog and
chicken shed, and will build another
silO this summer.
There was a good house and a fair
barn and Silo on the place when he
moved onto it. He has fenced and
crOsS-fenced the farm and has the re-
manning wild land nearly all brushed
He has plans made for a big basement
barn that will be built later. The farm
editor looked over his farm and found
about half of it under the pillow and ten
acres stumped which was being gotten
ready for crops.
MI Kreklau owns the pure bred
Guernsey bull Gar of Thornhill which
is a good individual of exceptional
breeding. Eight of Mr.. kreklau's COWS
have been bred up IN the Guernsey
breed for AZ years and as the saying
goes are now little more than pure
bred. Walter Dexter, Of KenOsha,
Wis, and his father, used nothing but
pure bred bulls for the above length of
time, and had they bought one pure
cred COW or heifer at that time they
would have had pure bred herd in a
very few years. Mr.. Kreklau has eight
If these COWS that he bought nine years

sew breeders Association made later,

This proves the fact very forcibly

,u1 should also get one or two good
pure bred heifers or cows to build up a
pure bred herd.

This is open burnt over land and was
fired heavily this spring after many
other good fires before. Fire is the
best aid the settler can have in this
country in clearing up his land for a
farm. All land after burning should
be seeded unless it is to be plOwed for
crop. The first half of May is the
ideal time to seed broadcast through
the burnt areas.
