In wonderful house Of snow:

The old man is still alive.
In his house upon the top of a hill.

He keeps a great many elves at

All working with all their might
To make a million of pretty things
Cakes, sugar-plums and toys,
To fill the stockings, hung up, you

By the little girls and boys.

Now that the late rains have
made the Missouri corn crop at least
one hundred per cent better than ap-
pesred possible q month ago, and
the pastures are renewed, and the
general outlook, greatly improved,
farmers and other citizens are con-
fronted with a problem that did not
worry them a while back.
Then it appeared there would be
no surplus and just where to put
their money was the least Of their
worries. But now that crop pros
poets are all to the good, and it
looks as though a neat balance

line. the question of investment

can tell that because the price of
sugar has already begun to sag, and
that the prices of cotton goods have
begun to shrink. He can also tell
it because the prices of hogs and
cattle is not what it was year ago.

best thing they can do is to hold on
to their money, or put it in liquid

THE TANNING MILL is
THE FARMERS GOOD FRIEND

Unless the wheat is thoroughly
cleaned, it should not be sown and
there is always more or less dirt,
weed seed and cracked grain that
come from the thresher and every
year the losses to farmers are enor-
nous because unclean wheat was
sown in the fall. The tanning mill
which cleans wheat thoroughly is
undoubtedly the farmers friend.
Several good varieties of wheat
are sown in Kentucky and the Ex-
pertinent Station is asked frequently
what the best variety is for some
certain section of the State. If
there is a good strain of wheat, of
high yield varieties, being grown in
the neighborhood, the farmer will do
well to buy the seed wheat of this
variety from his neighbor. If it is
impossible to buy neighborhood
wheat, then the buyer should con-
fine his selections to the State rath-
er than 60 outside to buy.
The presence of sinking smut is
readily detected by the odor and the
appearance of the kernel will show
if scab is in the wheat. If seed is
affected, it is usually easy to find
out the disease. Even when good
seed is purchased, it is necessary
to reclean and treat for disease be-
fore sowing.
